If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?.

Chapter 72 Breakthrough, Mid-stage True Immortal Realm!

Ao Bai devoted himself to cultivation in the Water Mansion, and his alchemy skills broke through again, which allowed him to develop a new pill formula, the [Breakthrough Pill].

[Breakthrough Pill: This pill can be taken by cultivators below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to increase their chances of breaking through to a higher realm. The more times it is used, the less effective it becomes.]

Looking at the Breakthrough Pill recipe in his hand, Ao Bai felt a surge of joy.

"This pill is practically tailor-made for me. It's a Breakthrough Pill, a pill specifically designed to aid in breakthroughs. I'm still far from becoming a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, so I can reuse it multiple times."

Ao Bai didn't mind the ingredients for this pill. Even if the ingredients were very precious, as long as they were all collected, he could refine the Breakthrough Pill.

Now his only worry is the success rate. Ao Bai knows his luck very well. When he refined the [Ascending Dragon Pill] before, the success rate was truly appalling.

The materials for refining the Breakthrough Pill are even more precious. If you fail multiple times, the losses will be enormous.

Ao Bai dared not act rashly. He began to deduce the process again and again, first familiarizing himself with each step of the pill's refining process, and then starting to refine it.

The Breakthrough Pill has a single effect: it helps cultivators break through their cultivation level. It has little effect when taken regularly, and its effect on improving cultivation level is negligible.

Only when you are close to a breakthrough and your cultivation level has reached a certain point can taking this kind of pill help increase your chances of a successful breakthrough.

Ao Bai repeatedly deduced and pondered the matter, while simultaneously searching for materials to refine elixirs in the Henghe Treasury.

The Henghe Water Palace had previously received many treasures from the East Sea Dragon Palace, including a considerable amount of materials needed to refine the [Breakthrough Pill].

After repeatedly deducing the formula for three hundred years, and only when he was certain that he could successfully refine the pills without any flaws, did he begin to attempt to refine them.

There weren't many materials in Henghe Water Mansion that could be used to refine the Breakthrough Pill, so Ao Bai took out all of them.

The Wind and Fire Furnace was opened, the spiritual fire was ignited, and the alchemy process began.

Following the steps, Ao Bai placed the prepared materials one by one into the cauldron, smelting, filtering, and fusing them.

Ao Bai was extremely cautious with every step, as the alchemy materials were very precious and could not be taken lightly.

Ao Bai was completely focused, constantly making adjustments in pursuit of perfection.

After a series of refining steps, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out, and Ao Bai's anticipation grew even stronger.

He was meticulous, channeling spiritual energy to increase the heat and adjusting the form of the medicinal liquid in the furnace.

The medicinal liquid quickly blended perfectly and began to enter the pill-forming stage.

Once the elixir is successfully condensed, only the final step remains.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Ao Bai gradually became more nervous.

The elixir condensed smoothly without any unexpected issues.

"Open the furnace!"

Seeing that the elixir had successfully condensed, Ao Bai pressed on with his energy and activated the magic seal to open the elixir furnace.

"boom!"

The Wind and Fire Furnace was opened, and a perfectly intact pill appeared in front of Ao Bai.

The Breakthrough Pill was successfully refined on the first try!

Ao Bai's face was full of joy; he hadn't expected to actually succeed.

He had suffered many failures when he was refining the [Ascending Dragon Pill] before.

"Could it be because my luck has increased?"

Not long ago, Ao Bai was appointed as a divine general of the Eastern Pole Holy Monarch Palace and also obtained the Ancestral Dragon Pearl. All these changes greatly increased his fortune.

It was this renewed increase in luck that offset his "bad luck," leading to his success today.

"It must be the change in fortune that has caused me to behave differently. Fortune is mysterious and its effects are everywhere. It seems I need to hurry up and refine the Ancestral Dragon Pearl."

Ao Bai was overjoyed; being able to refine the [Breakthrough Pill] was of extraordinary significance to him.

After carefully storing the pill, Ao Bai began refining it again.

The Breakthrough Pill has extraordinary effects; if used at the right time, it can even produce unexpected results.

This elixir is effective even for beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, and it played a significant role in the early stages of the primordial world.

For example, if a being at the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal realm possessed a Breakthrough Pill, the significance of that would be self-evident.

Ao Bai devoted himself to refining the pills this time, and he quickly exhausted all the materials.

Nine Breakthrough Pills were successfully refined!

"Nine Breakthrough Pills are already quite good."

Ao Bai looked at the pill in his hand, his heart filled with excitement.

He failed many times during this period, but fortunately he also succeeded quite a few times, obtaining nine [Breakthrough Pills], which exceeded Ao Bai's expectations.

"Send one to Father first. If he can break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal before the lecture at Zixiao Palace, that would be the best."

Ao Bai remembered very clearly that when the first lecture was held at Zixiao Palace, all those who went to Zixiao Palace were early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and there were no mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals at all.

If Ao Feng can advance to the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm, that would be the best outcome.

Ao Feng was in seclusion at the time, and he only stopped when he saw Ao Bai arrive.

"Father, I have refined a pill called the Breakthrough Pill. It can increase your chances of success when you break through a realm. Keep it for now and try to break through again when you have enough mana."

Upon hearing this, Ao Feng became even more interested in the Breakthrough Pill.

It can increase the success rate of breakthroughs—what a powerful effect that is!

"My son, you do indeed possess some talent. Is this something you gained after listening to the teachings of the Three Pure Ones?"

Ao Feng was incredibly clever, and he guessed everything immediately.

"Father is wise. This elixir is precisely what I refined based on my understanding of the Dao of Alchemy taught by Taiqing. The [Breakthrough Pill] is most effective the first time it is taken; its effect will diminish with subsequent uses."

After a brief exchange, Ao Bai and Ao Feng got up and left.

Ao Bai is now eager to break through his own realm. He is already a True Immortal, and he has accumulated enough magic power. As long as he takes the [Breakthrough Pill], advancing to the mid-stage of the True Immortal realm will not be a problem at all.

Upon returning to his residence, Ao Bai immediately began his seclusion, putting a Breakthrough Pill into his mouth.

Although it is most cost-effective to take this pill when one is at the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Ao Bai cannot wait that long.

He hasn't even reached the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm yet, and it would indeed be quite a long time before he can use it at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

"Let's focus on improving our current level first."

Without further hesitation, Ao Bai adjusted his stance and charged forward.

The True Immortal Realm may not mean much to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but for an acquired being, it is an extremely crucial stage.

Only those who enter this realm can be considered true "immortals".

At this moment, Ao Bai's magical power was activated, and a surge of waves coursed through his body.

"boom!"

His magical power surged, and Ao Bai's aura changed rapidly at this moment, his realm beginning to rise quickly.

The Realm of True Immortal was no longer an obstacle for Ao Bai, and the effects of the Breakthrough Pill were fully realized.

As streams of magical power flowed, Ao Bai finally broke through and advanced to the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm.
