Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 272 Thunder Tribulation Liquid (Bonus Chapter for 6000 Monthly Tickets in May)

After gathering the ingredients for two Life-Returning Pills, Qin Jue immediately began refining the pills, not waiting even a moment longer.

The Life-Returning Pill is an ancient, heaven-defying pill that is extremely precious. It can extend the lifespan of a Saint Realm expert by hundreds of years, and its medicinal materials are extremely difficult to find.

Of course, the so-called difficulty in finding medicinal materials refers to the main medicine; other auxiliary materials are readily available in the medicine storehouse of Yaoguang Holy Land.

"boom!"

The mountains trembled, wind and thunder roared, celestial essence rolled like dragons and earthly evil surged like tigers, converging on the mountain peak. Various Dao principles emerged, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and auspicious light descended from the sky.

At the summit, an ancient cauldron floats, emanating a rich medicinal fragrance that drifts down the mountain, captivating countless people. Even a whiff of it brings a sense of comfort and invigorates the senses, making every pore feel refreshed.

Qin Jue formed hand seals, and the Great Dao Divine Laws emerged, continuously striking the cauldron. Divine flames burned fiercely, refining the medicinal essence.

Beside him stood an old man with white hair and beard, an aged face, and a powerful aura, yet he appeared incredibly weak and frail, like a withered tree branch.

This old man was Yang Lan. In order to refine the precious pill more quickly, Qin Jue directly let Yang Lan break out of her source and refine the medicine together.

The two sages joined forces at this moment, greatly accelerating the refining time of the precious pill.

"Dragon and tiger intertwine, wind and thunder suddenly appear, auspicious light descends from the sky, and golden lotuses spring from the earth. What kind of precious elixir is being refined? The phenomena are truly astonishing!"

"The aroma of the medicine alone makes one feel comfortable all over and younger. It must be an extraordinary treasure for prolonging life."

Countless elders and disciples gazed at the towering mountain peak, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

The scenery there was astonishing, with all sorts of extraordinary natural phenomena appearing one after another, leaving one breathless with wonder.

"This is a sign from heaven and earth; the precious elixir is about to appear in the world. If this scene were to occur outside, it would surely cause powerful figures from all sides to fight each other." At this moment, the yin and yang energies surged, and an elder sighed.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the weather changed!

Dark, heavy clouds covered the clear blue sky, creating a suffocating sense of oppression, as if the sky itself had pressed down on them.

Moreover, lightning bolts occasionally flashed within the thick, dark clouds, carrying a terrifying destructive force.

This sudden scene left everyone speechless, and they all looked up at the sky with extreme tension.

Although they were all cultivators, the sheer power of heaven and earth was still overwhelming, and the terrifying power of the thunder was enough to destroy most of the people present in an instant.

"I understand now! This is to temper the pill with lightning, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to fully unleash the medicinal effects of the precious pill!" An old master from Tianxuan Mountain suddenly realized something and spoke up in a moment of enlightenment.

He looked incredibly old, his body completely hunched over, exuding an aura of decay.

Many people present did not recognize him, and even some elders had no recollection of this old man.

However, no one dared to underestimate them in the slightest, because the Tianxuan Holy Envoy always treated the elderly with the respect due to a junior.

"Grandmaster Feng?!" After a long time, Li Daoqing finally spoke in a daze, recognizing the old man.

"Little Daoqing, you've severed your Dao?" Grandmaster Feng was very surprised. In his memory, Li Daoqing's talent was just so-so. He never expected that when they met again, the other party had already severed his Dao!

Many people were astonished that the Supreme Holy Lord actually addressed the old man as his grandmaster!
This is definitely an ancient relic, a figure from thousands of years ago, with an incredibly powerful background!

Li Daoqing had a toothache. He thought that Old Man Feng had long since passed away, but he never expected that he was still alive. He had just been in seclusion.

There are actually quite a few people like this in the Yao Guang Holy Land.

Each generation of Yao Guang disciples number in the tens of thousands. Even after the great waves of change, at least a thousand can reach the Sendai Secret Realm.

Among these people, some went into seclusion and never reappeared. Whether they perished or continued to live is a mystery.

The reason why the patriarch of Tianxuan Mountain appeared this time was because his secluded place was very close to here. He was attracted by the fragrance of the elixir and could not help but break out of seclusion.

Four thousand years have passed, and even if this grandmaster was a half-saint, his lifespan was almost over. Faced with such a treasure for prolonging life, how could he resist?

"Young Daoqing, is the Holy Land so powerful now? It actually managed to bring out two powerful figures at once!" Old Man Feng asked curiously, looking at the mountain peak.

With his abilities, he could naturally see what was happening there.

After all, they were one of their own. Qin Jue and Yang Lan's every move in refining pills was extraordinary. If they gained any insights, it would be a great fortune. Therefore, they naturally did not hide anything.

“Grandmaster Feng, you may not know this, but a peerless genius has emerged from the Holy Land, who is now the Holy Lord. A few years ago, he traveled and obtained two 90,000-year-old medicinal kings…” Li Daoqing respectfully explained to the old man Feng.

……

"A 90,000-year-old medicine king, my goodness!" Old Man Feng patted his chest like a playful old man.

The Nine Thousand Year Medicine King—if he were to consume this, it could conservatively increase his lifespan by a thousand years; its effects are unimaginable.

Unfortunately, as a half-saint, he couldn't possibly compete with two saints, and could only watch helplessly.

"Xiao Daoqing, go ask the Little Holy Master if he still has any Medicine Kings. If he does, give me one," said Old Man Feng.

"Grandmaster Uncle, you must not be disrespectful to the Holy Lord!" Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Heavenly Pivot Envoy. He disregarded etiquette and hurriedly rebuked him.

He was over two thousand years old, but at this moment he was so frightened that he acted like a grandson.

It's not that he's making a mountain out of a molehill, but Li Yao has already been mythologized in the Holy Land. Apart from a few specific people, everyone else feels genuine admiration when facing him.

This is especially true of the younger generation; their fervent faith is almost insane.

The older generation is alright; although I respect them, it's not to that extent.

The reason why the Heavenly Pivot Saint Envoy stopped it was entirely due to the difference in strength.

In the cultivation world, seniority only applies to direct descendants; otherwise, it is determined by strength.

Old Man Feng had been in seclusion for too long and still thought that the current Holy Lord was the same as before, only at the second level of Immortal Realm, or at most at the third level of Immortal Realm.

But seeing his grand-nephew's attitude, he knew the situation might not be simple, so he silently shut his mouth.

"boom!"

Just then, lightning exploded in the mountains, and countless lightning snakes surged down, crashing into the alchemy furnace.

Seeing this, Qin Jue and Yang Lan formed hand seals and unleashed boundless divine laws to continue capturing lightning-tempered pills.

Using the power of heaven and earth to refine elixirs is something that has existed since ancient times.

Thunder is not only destructive, but also contains the ultimate vitality. If a pill is tempered by thunder, and the vitality within the destruction can be captured, it will be an absolute stroke of luck, raising the quality of the pill to a higher level.

But this step is difficult. Although many people follow suit, very few actually succeed.

Because lightning is the power of the heavens, it is not so easy for a private individual to use it.

To steal life from destruction is even more difficult.

Just now, Qin Jue and Yang Lan exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

They naturally wanted to use the lightning to temper their pills. Even if they didn't capture the legendary life force, just the simple tempering would still bring many benefits.

It's a pity that although the lightning they summoned was powerful, it was only decent, and it was far from the legendary lightning tribulations.

Although the two were somewhat disappointed, their disappointment vanished as soon as they saw the pills in the cauldron.

Just as they were about to reach for the pills, a hand appeared and pressed down on both of their palms. This startled them both; the newcomer was moving far too fast, exceeding their reaction time.

Although this was partly due to the fact that this was the sacred land of Yao Guang, where vigilance was low, the fact that the newcomer could approach them so stealthily showed that the newcomer was far more powerful than the two of them.

Qin Jue turned his head, and when he saw the person who had arrived, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Holy Lord?!"

Although he didn't directly ask Li Yao what this meant, the meaning was very clear.

"Don't panic, I'll add fuel to the fire." Li Yao released his hand, took a step forward, and amidst the puzzled gazes of countless people, gently pointed his index finger towards the sky.

"boom!"

At this moment, the thunder in the sky surged, its power increasing more than tenfold compared to before.

The sky was completely dark, and dark clouds covered the surrounding area for thousands of miles. Within them was an endless sea of ​​lightning, and every bolt of lightning that exploded was as thick as a mountain, resembling a ferocious dragon.

This was a scene of world destruction, the power of destruction had reached its peak, and even though people were far apart, they still felt as if they were being torn apart.

"Is the Holy Lord... the Emperor of Thunder, substituting his own heart for the will of Heaven?"

"The lightning he summoned with a mere flick of his wrist was already more powerful than the heavenly tribulations of others. How is this any different from enforcing the law on behalf of Heaven?!"

Countless disciples of Yaoguang gazed in awe at the figure amidst the mountains. They were not too shocked. Even if the Holy Lord did something outrageous, they would only be shocked for a moment before taking it for granted that it was to be expected.

"fall!"

A clear, crisp voice rang out, and a figure amidst the mountains pressed down with its index finger, instantly unleashing endless bolts of lightning.

It wasn't a series of lightning bolts coming one after another, but rather the entire sea of ​​lightning descended, with countless bolts converging towards the center and gathering towards the cauldron.

From a distance, the sea of ​​thunder appears as a funnel, with countless thunder dragons colliding in the air before merging together to create an even more powerful thunder dragon.

This fusion continued until it finally turned into a liquid, dripping into the cauldron and merging with the precious elixir.

The vast expanse of lightning eventually transformed into two drops of liquid, which fell into the cauldron.

Time has passed, and the Thunder Tribulation Liquid has reappeared in the world. Although it is a beggar's version, it is undoubtedly the Thunder Tribulation Liquid.

In the chaotic ancient era, the Thunder Tribulation Liquid, which could only be created in a Thunder Pool, was directly created by Li Yao by hand, which was quite outrageous.

Qin Jue and Yang Lan were both dumbfounded. They stared at each other in disbelief, then stared blankly at the cauldron.

What is this operation? !

How did you manage to do that?
Even Yang Lan, who was already a Saint King, couldn't understand how a sea of ​​lightning could turn into two drops of liquid and then not explode!
The stronger one's cultivation, the less they can understand it, because they understand the difficulty involved. It's not something that can be simply condensed; it's not that simple.

On the contrary, those with lower cultivation levels were the first to react, only feeling that the Holy Lord was very strong, but not quite sure how strong.

"Boom!", "Boom!"

Two loud explosions rang out, and a precious light shot up from the cauldron, filling the mountains with an intense, pervasive fragrance of elixir.

As the fragrance of cinnabar wafted by, the ancient forest vegetation in the mountains began to grow wildly, its vitality surging.

The two precious pills flew up, their bodies radiating countless auspicious colors, dazzling and magnificent. On them were engraved dense Dao patterns, revealing profound mysteries.

The patterns on the surface were covered with the power of lightning, but there was no destruction, only boundless vitality.

Li Yao waved his hand, and two pills flew into Qin Jue and Yang Lan's hands. He looked at the two of them and said, "This precious pill may have changed a lot now. Be careful when you swallow it."

Thunder Tribulation Liquid is a treasure in itself, capable of bringing the dead back to life, restoring flesh and bone, and containing endless vitality.

Although the two drops he condensed were not as potent as the Thunder Tribulation Liquid in the Thunder Pool, they would certainly enhance the medicinal effects.

Qin Jue and Yang Lan nodded repeatedly, carefully putting away the precious pill as if it were a priceless treasure. After bowing deeply to Li Yao, they turned and left.

With the precious pill in hand, the two people who desperately needed to extend their lives would definitely be eager to swallow it.

Li Yao recalled for a moment the feeling of condensing the lightning tribulation liquid, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

But just then, an old man flew up and bowed deeply in respect.

This is a complete stranger, yet his level of skill is quite high.

This caught Li Yao's attention. Although he was a hands-off Holy Lord, there was no reason why he wouldn't recognize his own half-saint.

But he quickly understood the reason, so he asked directly, "I wonder if Grandmaster Feng has any instructions for his disciple?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, you're making this old man feel too bad." Old Man Feng quickly waved his hand. Although he was a bit of a rascal, he still knew what was important.

In just a short time, he had learned many things about this holy master, who was practically a divine being, so he dared not act arrogantly because of his age.

Not to mention, he came to see me with a request in mind.

"The Medicine King!" Li Yao fell silent for a moment when he heard the other party ask for the Medicine King.

The Ancient Medicine King actually possesses many more, but he certainly cannot continue to bestow them upon others without cause.

Those who have not performed meritorious service shall not receive rewards.

Today you come to ask, tomorrow he comes to ask. Should I answer you but not him? But if I always answer, even the land of immortals cannot provide for you.

Old Man Feng had obviously thought of this as well, and quickly added, "In the form of purchase, the Medicine King is priceless and unavailable. Even if it's just half a percent overpayment, this old man would be happy to accept it."

"That's fine too." Li Yao waved his hand, and a precious herb, a foot long, appeared in the air, its entire body resembling a carving of red coral.

"This is a 70,000-year-old medicinal herb. Elder Feng, take it. Just return to the treasure vault and hand over 900,000 catties of pure source."

"Thank you, Holy Lord, thank you, Holy Lord." Old Man Feng smiled broadly, showing no sign of financial loss.

A 70,000-year-old medicinal herb king is absolutely priceless and unavailable. If it appears on the market, it will definitely cause a frenzy. If it appears at an auction, it would be common for it to fetch 1.6 to 1.7 million catties of pure source.

Therefore, 900,000 jin of pure raw material is an absolutely fair price, and it is impossible to buy it on the market.

It's inappropriate to give away things casually since they're family, but it's also wrong to take advantage of them. This is just the right balance.

He went out for a while, condensed some lightning tribulation liquid, and even made a transaction on the side, which helped him relax.

After returning to the Holy Lord's Hall, Li Yao let out a long breath, then with a thought, he allowed the Heavenly Book to absorb energy, and then entered the Creation Domain to begin comprehending the Dao.

This time, the method I'm comprehending is another immortal technique—Tiger Roars Across the Heavens!
This is the second move of the White Tiger Treasure Technique, a sonic attack that shakes the heavens with a single roar!

The price for comprehending immortal techniques is very high, even more expensive than the Medicine King that was just sold.

This is the price for a single session; if one were to frequently engage in meditation, the cost would be considerable.

Fortunately, under his leadership, Yao Guang Holy Land has indeed amassed a great deal of wealth in recent years, so there is no need to worry in the short term.

When we need to worry about him, his combat power will probably be at least as strong as invincible in the universe.

So there's no rush. Take your time to process what you've gained before worrying about the future.

Once this immortal technique is fully comprehended, the True Dragon Treasure Technique and the True Phoenix Treasure Technique must be completed.

After the harvest comes the digestion phase. Even if he does nothing now, as long as he digests it all, his strength will surge again.
