Inner branch, back mountain,
Rumbling!!!
Dangerous clouds gathered in the sky with horror-filled lightning condensing inside them.
Everyone inside the whole Inner branch was alarmed; all the elders and students walked outside from their cottages.
Especially one of the elders standing on the medicine peak glanced at the direction of the sky; his face changed, and he exclaimed,
"Pill tribulation… How is this possible? Only tier seven and above pills invoke the tribulations."
At the same time, the suppression spread out from the Jia Nan academy range and spread through the black corner region.
At the far north of the black corner region, the medicine pavilion,
A middle-aged man with a light beard and mustache is sitting calmly and drinking the tea at the table in his pavilion.
Suddenly he sensed something and hurriedly stood up and glanced at the direction of Jia Nan Academy in surprise. He is none other than the medicine emperor, Feng Han.
"Pill tribulation… Such heavy pressure—it's definitely a seventh-tier pill."
Feng Han muttered thoughtfully, and then his gaze became deeper; he turned around and ordered the old man behind him,
"Go visit the eight gates, and invite them on my behalf."
After speaking, he turned and glanced in the direction of Jia Nan Academy with a thoughtful look on his face.
'Who is refining such a high-grade pill? It seems my hunch about heavenly flames was right. This academy really is hiding such treasure… but I will confirm it first and then act.'
He thought to himself as his pupils flickered with strange scheming luster.
"Yes, pavilion master."
The old subordinate behind him saluted and flew away.
In different areas of the black corner region, other dou kings and dou emperor-level experts were alarmed.
Meanwhile on the back mountain,
Shen Yi was sitting calmly on the stone, while eighty-one kinds of liquid drops were floating around him.
He then moved his hand and made a few signs; lightning bolts moved toward these drops in the shape of small dragons. Those small lightning dragons swallowed all those drops and then started colliding with each other.
Slowly all those lightning dragons fused with each other along with the medicine liquids inside, and finally only nine dragons remained floating around him.
All of these lightning dragons had large medicine liquid balls visible through their heads.
Rumble!!!
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!
One by one lightning fell from the sky toward those dragons, and the liquid balls inside their heads compressed and started taking the shape of pills.
More and more lightning fell from the sky; at the same time, those nine lightning dragons devoured the heavenly thunders and enlarged in size, while the pills in their heads became more condensed and round.
On the other hand,
All the inner sect elders gathered around the mountain; all of their expressions were in a daze looking at the multiple thunder beams falling from the sky, while nine huge lightning dragons baptized under these thunder tribulations.
"What kind of alchemy technique is this? These thunder dragons are devouring the heavenly tribulation and using its energy for pill condensation."
One of the medicine elders muttered in a daze after seeing the dragon and the pills inside their heads; especially the enlargement of those thunder dragons after absorbing each tribulation shocked him.
Immediately, Zi Yan's figure appeared in front of them in a flash, and she reminded them, "Brother Shen Yi is practicing a new alchemy technique; no one is allowed to move forward."
The Elder Su and other elders glanced at each other and nodded back away, while the medicine elder glanced at Zi Yan and said,
"Little girl, don't worry, we won't disturb him… We just want to witness the high-level alchemy technique he is using. He is definitely concocting the top seven or even eight tier pills. You simply can't understand how precious such an opportunity is for us alchemists."
Just as they observed the pill tribulation,
Slowly the heaven tribulation disappeared; as the nine dragons rotated around Shen Yi, their size compressed, and slowly all the thunder dragons merged with the pills in their heads, and nine pills remained floating around him.
Each of these pills has red lightning dragons flickering around them, pure red dragons with lightning flickering on the pill surface as if condensed from thunder and blood.
"Nine pills at once… What kind of pills are these? Looks like the pills contain overbearing blood and lightning attribute energy."
Suddenly the medicine elder appeared in front of him and muttered while observing the nine pills floating around Shen Yi,
"These pills are trying to force themselves out from his control, which means they have spirituality like seven-and-above-tier pills."
Immediately Zi Yan appeared following him and spoke with a dissatisfied expression.
"Hey old man, I told you to not disturb Brother Shen Yi."
Shen Yi opened his eyes and glanced at the bloody dragons around each pill, then he glanced in the direction of the elder and spoke.
"These are nine-turn thunder dragon pills; each one is top-tier seven pills."
After speaking, he waved his hand, nine jade boxes appeared, and the pills were sealed inside them.
He then stored them away and stood up, patting his clothes, then he glanced in the direction of Elder Su and others who just appeared following the medicine elders.
"Elders…" He saluted and greeted them calmly.
"Ahem, can you reveal your true strength now… Is it "dou ancestor" or "dou venerate"?
Elder Su coughed and then asked, looking at him with a deep gaze, as if saying, "You can't hide it anymore after causing such commotion."
Shen Yi smiled and then replied,
"I am at the limit of the Dou ancestor realm; please forgive me for hiding my true strength. It's just my talent that is really shocking even for me… I didn't want to attract any attention."
