Divine Pill
“Yang Tian…”
Yuan Xia flicked a white sheet of cloth out and pulled Yang Tian over before he was crushed under the wall. Yang Tian’s pain instantly dissipated the moment he landed against Yuan Xia’s body. He couldn’t resist a squeeze. Yuan Xia, hot flushes all over her face, gently moaned. She then pinched his back, making him giggle.
“You all right?” Seeing the blood at his mouth, Yuan Xia was worried until she saw his gaze on her.
Yang Tian looked to the golden furnace. “I’m fine. I sensed a strange energy signal when I approached it.”
Yang Xiao: “You need to use your pill flame together with your Divine Soul Energy to lift it.”
Yang Tian touched his nose. He thought Yang Xiao was right. He sat down in front of the furnace and released a mass of Divine Soul Energy, wrapping it around the furnace. He released Triad Divine Fire. He went on to explain Triad Divine Fire to an astonished Yuan Xia. Once done, he directed the fire up the furnace and amplified its output. The flames before were more powerful for some reason.
Yang Xiao: “Hehe, a chance is coming. I think the pill flame inside is Triad Divine Fire!”
That explained why it could amplify Triad Divine Fire.
Yang Xiao wondered if Triad Divine Fire was sealed in the furnace to concoct a pill. Normally, one wouldn’t leave a pill in a furnace. The former owner of the area sealed the area, so he probably took precautions for the pill, as well.
Yang Tian howled as he tried to lift the furnace, drawing power from his Triad Divine Fire at the same time. It took ten seconds for incredible an elixir to present itself. The emerald light was bright. Everyone was euphoric. Yang Tian’s Divine Soul Energy intensified further, allowing him to lift the lid just enough and take the pill out.
Boom! The furnace rocked, indicating someone was attacking the barrier.
Yang Xiao hurried over to the jade slips. “Take the jade slips…”
Everything left behind from that era was rare and rarer.
Of the dozens of jade slips in there, only three were in working order. Yang Xiao turned his attention to the entrance before he had a chance to take a close look at them. The barrier was falling apart. The lid of the golden furnace was still being lifted off. The elixir leaking out was more and more potent. Xiaobai was red in the face from absorbing the elixir, yet he continued to absorb it.
Boom! The barrier shook, interrupting Yang Xiao’s train of thought.
Boom! Four people arrived next to the four Formation Flags and reactivated them. The spears twanged. They emitted energy, sealing the pill room. The black tortoise erected a big light net, sealing the exit tight.
Cao Zhen, didn’t notice the Formation Flags when the vital essence dispersed before. He was worried his foes were already inside and had obtained a stash of treasures. He said in his mind, Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll ensure you’re deader than dead.
Boom! A bell broke the barrier.
“Roar!” A white tiger roared at the sky and charged.
Cao Zhen: “Isn’t that the White Tiger Formation Flag’s phantom? Why is it here?”
Boom! The golden bell blasted the white tiger’s phantom into nothingness.
“Roar!” a blue dragon shook the Earth.
Cao Zhen: “Impossible! How did they enter when the barrier is still intact?! Does the token cancel out barriers?!”
Cao Zhen summoned a hand to smack the four flags.
***
Inside the pill room.
Colourful divine flames shot out. The half-open lid let out more and more potent elixir. They absorbed the elixir to help power the four flags. The elixir was so potent it reduced the pressure significantly.
Yuan Xia: “Hurry. The Formation Flags might be strong, but Cao Clan has a divine skill!”
Yang Tian nodded. He consumed a Divine Soul pill. His Divine Soul energy from his forehead received a boost. The golden furnace shook. He made the green pill levitate once the elixir blasted in all directions.
The pill squeaked, afraid and dumbfounded at the group of people.
Yang Tian: “It possesses intelligence! It’s a divine pill that’s almost rank nine!”
Rank nine pills summoned Wrath of Heaven when produced and only existed in legends… until then.
