Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

The old apothecary's expression was solemn as his soul power surged into the Black Demon Cauldron like a tidal wave, meticulously controlling the final form of the spiritual liquid.

Under the combined effects of high temperature and soul power, the clump of spiritual liquid slowly contracted, solidified, and gradually formed a round pill embryo.

Xiao Qing, who was completely focused on the scene, held her breath, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Finally, the old medicine master suddenly changed his hand seals and unleashed an extremely profound pill-forming technique, which shot straight into the cauldron!

hum!

The Black Demon Cauldron emitted a melodious hum, and as its lid was lifted, a warm, jade-white light shot into the sky!

A flawless pill, the size of a longan, slowly rose from the cauldron. Spiritual light flowed across its surface like ripples on water, radiating a strong soul fluctuation. Furthermore, a faint, self-aware spirituality attempted to break free from its restraints!

As expected of a top-tier sixth-grade pill for the soul, its spirituality is no weaker than some seventh-grade pills.

The moment the pill left the cauldron, it seemed unwilling to be bound, emitting a faint buzzing sound, and the surface of the pill flashed with spiritual light, as if it wanted to break free and fly away!

"The elixir is complete!"

The old apothecary gave a soft shout, reached out and grabbed the pill that was about to fly away, and gently suppressed the restless spiritual energy back into the pill with a slight circulation of his soul power.

The pill immediately quieted down, lying quietly in his palm, its radiance subdued, yet appearing even more wondrous.

"Finally done... It's been a while since I've done this, so I'm a bit rusty." The old doctor looked at the Spirit Nourishing Pill in his hand, which was full of spiritual energy and of extremely high quality. He looked tired, but more satisfied.

The spirituality of this pill has already faintly touched the threshold of the seventh grade, and its medicinal effect far exceeds that of ordinary sixth-grade pills!

"The spirituality is not weak, almost at the seventh rank." Yao Lao was not surprised but pleased. His soul power surged slightly, turning into an invisible restraint, gently suppressing the restless spirituality back into his body.

The elixir immediately quieted down, emitting only a warm glow and a calming vibration within the jade bottle.

Holding the jade bottle, he explained to Xiao Qing, who was watching intently the whole time, "The Spirit Nourishing Pill is a miraculous pill that nourishes the soul. The trace of spirituality it generates is not an impurity, but rather the essence of the pill."

"Preserving this spiritual essence allows the medicine to better resonate with the soul's origin, resulting in a more effective medicine. Erasing it for the sake of safety would be a step down."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing's eyes revealed a look of realization and admiration.

He had just clearly sensed the vibrant spirituality contained within the elixir, as well as the effortless control that the old apothecary possessed.

This is not only a demonstration of alchemy skills, but also a profound interpretation of the understanding of the Way of Medicine.

"This disciple has learned a great deal."

Xiao Qing respectfully replied, keeping his teacher's words firmly in mind.

He knew that observing this alchemy process would be of immeasurable benefit to his future efforts to reach the sixth rank or even higher in the realm of alchemy.

The old apothecary handed the jade bottle to Xiao Qing, a hint of weariness on his face, but more so with relief. He said, "The pill is complete. I have temporarily calmed its spiritual energy, and its medicinal effects are mild. Find a quiet place, adjust your state, and you can take it."

"With your soul foundation at the late stage of the mortal realm, you should have an 80% chance of breaking through to the peak of the mortal realm with the power of this pill."

Xiao Qing solemnly accepted the jade bottle. It was cool to the touch, and he could clearly feel the vast and pure soul power contained in the pill inside.

He was filled with anticipation. Once his soul realm reached the peak of the mortal realm, his perception, fire control, and even his cultivation speed would experience a qualitative leap!

Thank you, teacher!

Xiao Qing bowed to the old doctor.

He knew that for Yao Lao in his current soul form, refining a peak sixth-grade pill would definitely consume a lot of energy.

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary waved his hand at him, his soul form appearing somewhat ethereal, and said, "It's alright! Paving the way for you is my responsibility as your master! Go and prepare quickly, don't waste the best effects of this elixir."

Xiao Qing nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk into the depths of the valley, finding a relatively quiet place to sit down cross-legged.

He needs to adjust himself to his peak condition, and then use the sixth-grade peak spirit-nourishing pill refined by the old doctor to open the door to the peak of the mortal realm!

The valley returned to peace once more, with only the old doctor guarding the place, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Xiao Qing sat cross-legged on a smooth stone, his whole body already in optimal condition!

He took out the sixth-grade peak Spirit Nourishing Pill, and the moment he opened the bottle, a refreshing fragrance that made one feel as if their soul was being elevated wafted out. The white surface of the pill shimmered with spiritual light, and there was a faint fluctuation of consciousness between them.

"The pinnacle of the mortal realm is reached today!"

Xiao Qing's gaze was firm as he directly swallowed the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm, cool, yet incredibly powerful divine energy that surged directly into his brow and merged into the depths of his soul.

This energy was not violent; instead, it was exceptionally warm, enveloping him and nourishing the very essence of his soul.

In that instant, Xiao Qing felt as if her soul had broken free from the shackles of her body, as if it were floating freely in a vast ocean of the soul.

Under the infusion of the pure medicinal power of the Spirit Nourishing Pill, this sea of ​​souls began to expand outwards at a visible speed and solidify!

The power of the soul surged like a tide, and perception became clearer than ever before.

The veins of every leaf in the valley, the subtle movements of underground insects, and even the flow of energy particles in the air were all vividly reflected in his mind.

The precision and scope of this perception far surpasses that of the late-stage mortal realm!

The medicine continued to work, not only expanding the "quantity" of the soul, but also purifying its "quality".

At the center of the ocean of souls, the core that represents the origin of his consciousness, became even more brilliant, condensed, and emitted a stable and powerful fluctuation.

Some previously obscure aspects of the use of soul power have now become clear, especially the understanding of soul skills such as "Soul-Destroying Arrow," which has deepened considerably.

Time slipped away quietly during cultivation, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After the last wisp of medicinal power was completely absorbed and integrated into his soul, Xiao Qing's sea of ​​soul finally stopped expanding.

When the soul is full of power, perfectly harmonious and flawless, even the slightest thought can resonate with the energy of the surrounding world.

Peak of the Mortal Realm, achieved!

Xiao Qing slowly opened his eyes. In that instant, a tangible light seemed to flash deep within his eyes, making his gaze even more profound and sharp, as if it could pierce through people's hearts.

Her entire demeanor underwent a subtle change!

He clenched his fist slightly, without mobilizing his battle qi, but a powerful sense of confidence welled up within him.

This confidence stems from a spiritual elevation!

Now, with his soul power at the peak of the mortal realm alone, he is enough to make many Dou Huangs and even low-level Dou Zongs feel troubled!

"How do you feel?" The old doctor's soul floated over, looking at his disciple whose temperament had changed drastically, his eyes full of gratified smiles.

He could naturally sense Xiao Qing's transformed soul aura.

"It's better than ever before." Xiao Qing smiled slightly, feeling the powerful and precise force deep within his soul.

"Teacher, I feel that the success rate of refining sixth-grade pills can now be increased by at least 30%!"

"Haha, good!" The old doctor stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

"A peak mortal realm soul is a realm countless alchemists dream of! With this as a foundation, reaching the seventh-grade alchemist realm is no longer an insurmountable obstacle for you! Once your battle qi cultivation advances further, you can attempt to break through! You can leave the pill lightning for seventh-grade pills to me!"

Xiao Qing nodded heavily.

With his current peak mortal realm soul power, strange fire, his own fire law, and his unparalleled fire control techniques, he believes he can even refine sixth-grade pills!

My current cultivation level is not high enough to refine seventh-grade pills; I need to reach the Dou Wang level.

He knew that the seventh-grade pill lightning could be perfectly absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Puppet, and then the power of the pill lightning could be transformed into the evolutionary resources of the demon puppet!

My heart is filled with anticipation for the future.

The significant increase in his soul power laid a more solid foundation for his subsequent cultivation and plans.

It's time to solidify new talents and continue to improve one's abilities.

He has taken another solid step on his path to becoming a powerful figure!

Next, explore the cave containing the remnants of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, and then you can head to the Tagor Desert!
