The Tyrant Among Healing Pills
Among healing pills, Nine Yang Pill was nothing short of a tyrant.
Pills came in countless types, each with strange effects.
But Nine Yang Pill's formula—
Lin Ye had obtained it only after paying an enormous price.
Back on Shen Chuan Continent, only Lin Ye could refine it.
It was priceless.
Lin Ye estimated—
even in Wan Chuan Continent, there might not be a second person capable of creating Nine Yang Pill.
He called Luo Gui over and handed him the pills.
Truthfully, Luo Gui hadn't cared too much about his own healing.
No one understood his injuries better than himself.
Lin Ye had saved his grandson—an immeasurable favor.
Luo Gui would naturally help Lin Ye with everything he could.
But curing his injuries completely?
Luo Gui, as a pill master himself, knew the chances were extremely low.
Unless it was a legendary holy medicine.
And holy medicines were as rare as heaven itself.
Watching Luo Huai grow up—
even one extra day—
was already enough.
Grandfather's "Harsh Lesson"
Before coming, Luo Gui ordered Luo Huai sternly:
"Copy this book of ten thousand Second-grade herbs in full! I'll check it when you return!"
"Yes… Master."
Luo Huai answered obediently.
His grandfather was fierce.
But Luo Huai knew—
his grandfather cared for him more than anyone.
A Pill That Shakes the Soul
When Luo Gui arrived, Lin Ye said calmly:
"This is Nine Yang Pill. It'll be extremely useful for your injuries. It won't heal you instantly, but it'll restore seventy to eighty percent first. The remaining medicinal power will continue repairing you."
With Nine Yang Pill's terrifying effect—
even Moonwheel late-stage experts could recover from serious injuries.
Even Solar Realm experts could benefit heavily.
Its effect rivaled a Seventh-grade healing pill.
Luo Gui politely thanked him, then opened the pill box.
A wave of spiritual energy exploded outward.
The scorching aura alone—just from breathing it accidentally—
made him feel invigorated, as if blood surged through his veins.
His eyes widened.
"This…"
Luo Gui had seen many healing pills.
And he knew healing formulas were usually sect secrets.
Cultivation pill formulas might spread widely…
but healing pills?
Every sect guarded them like life.
Their price was terrifying.
In Upper Lands, there was a top-tier pill sect famous for refining a pill called Heavenwater Spirit Pill, known for miraculous healing.
But one pill was nearly impossible to obtain.
Luo Gui once purchased one.
It cost him nearly two billion spirit stones.
Absurd.
Yet its effect wasn't nearly as strong as rumored.
At the very least—
it was nowhere close to Lin Ye's Nine Yang Pill.
The shock hit Luo Gui like thunder.
"This pill… this pill's medicinal force is terrifying…"
"Nine Yang Pill…"
"It… it might actually heal me."
Lin Ye waved his hand.
"Refine it soon. We'll depart early."
Refining would take time.
And Lin Ye also needed time to rest and adjust.
He had to practice Shatter Calamity Claw and Blood Luo Heavenly Waterfall Palm.
Only through constant cultivation and comprehension could techniques be truly mastered.
"Okay! I'll go now!"
Hope of full recovery was in front of him.
And Luo Gui had never seen such a pill in his entire life.
He hurried back to his courtyard.
Healing Like Rebirth
Inside Five Spirits Manor, Luo Gui took out Nine Yang Pill.
Even just its surface…
it was already peak among pills.
Its spiritual energy was nearly condensing into spiritual liquid.
Hands trembling, he swallowed it.
At first, no reaction.
But soon, it transformed into an extremely warm force, flowing into his organs.
The medicinal power wasn't violent—
not explosive—
but it filled every corner of his body like sunlight.
Then—
BOOM!
The pill's force erupted.
Layer after layer of energy wrapped around every injury inside Luo Gui.
Repairing. Rebuilding. Purifying.
Luo Gui was stunned.
He didn't even need to circulate qi.
The healing happened automatically.
Even hidden ailments he never realized existed—
began repairing.
And the speed was terrifying.
He could still maintain Moonwheel fighting strength…
but he couldn't defeat a healthy Moonwheel cultivator.
At best, he could fight by sacrificing himself.
He was like a rusted sword—
still sharp,
but prone to snapping.
Now Nine Yang Pill was scrubbing away every wound in his body.
Even internal organ injuries once considered "irreversible"…
were being forced back into healing.
Luo Gui felt as if he was witnessing a miracle.
"Too powerful…"
"This Nine Yang Pill is at least ten times stronger than Heavenwater Spirit Pill!"
Compared to Nine Yang Pill…
Heavenwater Spirit Pill was basically a scam.
It could suppress injuries temporarily,
but if the wounds were severe—
it failed.
Once the suppression ended, everything exploded.
Nine Yang Pill didn't suppress.
It repaired.
Breakthrough! Moonwheel Second Realm
After two hours…
Luo Gui suddenly felt a force erupt from deep inside him.
His face lit up with uncontrollable joy.
"I… I'm breaking through!"
Moonwheel Second Realm!
He never imagined—
not only would his injuries recover seventy to eighty percent,
he would even break through.
BOOM!
A powerful aura shot into the sky.
In Thousand Spirit City, countless people looked toward Five Spirits Manor.
"Another big shot is breaking through!"
"Moonwheel… so enviable. When will I ever reach that realm?"
Emotions surged everywhere.
In Spirit Medicine Sect's branch hall, Wang Kun's expression shifted.
"Lin Ye broke through? No… that aura doesn't feel like his."
"Could it be… Luo Gui?"
If so—
that meant Luo Gui had recovered.
And if Evil Ghost Pill King returned in full strength…
his name would once again shake the entire riverlands.
The Wild Ginseng's Secret
Inside Five Spirits Manor, Lin Ye took out the wild ginseng he had forcefully obtained earlier.
This was the herb Luo Huai had sensed with his Ancient Spirit Medicine Body.
Lin Ye quickly detected something unusual.
He took out a small knife—pill masters always carried tools.
He sliced the ginseng open.
In the center—
was a white seed, shaped like a lotus kernel.
The moment Lin Ye saw it…
even he sucked in a sharp breath.
His eyes gleamed with shock and excitement.
"It's… a Three-Life Lotus Seed."
Three-Life Lotus was a spiritual medicine with unlimited potential.
It could repeatedly reincarnate, carrying its power from its previous life into the next.
Stacking, refining, growing endlessly.
Before each rebirth, its seed would use special methods to protect itself—
like now.
Hidden inside a wild ginseng.
No one would ever believe a Three-Life Lotus Seed was inside.
Right now it was still only a seed.
Only by cultivating it could Lin Ye see how many years of medicinal power it truly contained.
It might even become a Ninth-grade spiritual medicine.
Lin Ye hesitated, unsure where to plant it.
Then—
from the far end of his consciousness, Nine Nether Blood Sea sent him a thought.
"Plant it on Blood Peak?"
Blood Peak was the only mountain within the Blood Sea—
the place where Lin Ye cultivated the Nine-Turn Asura Art.
With a thought, Lin Ye placed the seed upon Blood Peak.
The lotus seed touched the ground.
It rooted instantly.
It could grow anywhere.
SHUA!
But right after rooting…
it began to mutate.
A crimson lotus sprouted from Blood Peak.
Lin Ye's eyes widened.
"What?!"
The lotus was growing at a terrifying speed—
as if it was absorbing the Blood Sea's power like madness.
"This… this isn't Three-Life Lotus."
"It's…"
He swallowed.
"Nine-Lives Blood Lotus!"
