Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Borrowing God Pill?”

Upon suddenly hearing the name of this elixir, a few observers were initially taken aback, but soon those Meridian Refining Masters with formidable power of soul revealed extreme fervor on their faces.

This place was Lianyun Mountain, where most of those who came to join the fun were Meridian Refining Masters, thus they were very familiar with the names and effects of many elixirs.

The Earth Rank Advanced Borrowing God Pill is said to be a highly mystical elixir. Strictly speaking, this pill is a consumable type, but due to its Earth Rank Advanced grade, it draws countless Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Masters.

Because the Borrowing God Pill doesn’t target the human physical body but the soul, after consuming this Borrowing God Pill, it enables an Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master to have nearly Half-step Heavenly Rank strength for one time.

Although the soul power of a Half-step Heavenly Rank is incomparable to that of a true Heavenly Rank, it’s immensely stronger than an Earth Rank Advanced soul.

That’s because it not only can induce Earth Power but also utilize traces of Sky Power, which can be doubly effective in either healing or medicine making and alchemy.

So even though the Borrowing God Pill is a consumable elixir, its value is far greater than the Breaking Origin Pill Yun Xiao took out earlier, especially for these Meridian Refining Masters.

Entering a time of Half-step Heavenly Rank soul not only brings immediate effects, but also offers a chance to sense the Heavenly Rank soul and gain insights into breaking through to a Heavenly Rank.

From this perspective, the Borrowing God Pill becomes more than just a simple consumable elixir.

Thus, as soon as the Borrowing God Pill, an Earth Rank Advanced elixir, appears, the Breaking Origin Pill Yun Xiao had brought out previously pales in comparison, and everyone watching knows that the shopkeeper might make a wise decision, right?

You should know that this shopkeeper is also an Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Refining Master, even though taking the Borrowing God Pill directly right now would be somewhat wasteful, he can completely use the Borrowing God Pill to exchange for suitable elixirs with some Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Refining Masters.

”Oh? You kid do have some insight. Yes, this is the Earth Rank Advanced Borrowing God Pill. I think you’d better put away that embarrassing Breaking Origin Pill!”

The lanky fellow first exclaimed as if surprised by the young man’s sensing ability, yet his next words became extremely impolite, making the people watching have peculiar expressions.

Even though the Earth Rank Middle Level Breaking Origin Pill is not as high as the Earth Rank Advanced Borrowing God Pill, using ”embarrassing” to describe it seems inappropriate.

At least many Meridian Refining Masters of the Seeking Origin Realm present are considering whether they can connect with that roughly dressed youth for a chance to purchase a Breaking Origin Pill from him after this event ends.

Because even for an Earth Rank Middle Level Meridian Refining Master, successfully refining an Earth Rank Middle Level Breaking Origin Pill at its peak is highly prone to failure.

Sometimes refining a Breaking Origin Pill costs several times the value of the pill itself in materials, so rather than this, spending some price to directly purchase the finished product might be more economical.

”Little brother, what do you think...”

As everyone got strange thoughts in their minds, the stall owner’s face also showed a trace of difficulty. Although he was speaking to Yun Xiao, his small eyes never left the jade bottle containing the Borrowing God Pill held by the lanky fellow.

Meanwhile, the lanky fellow’s gaze was filled with a cold smile as he looked at Yun Xiao, seemingly containing a touch of intentional provocation.

”Boy, the Borrowing God Pill is placed here for you. If you can’t come up with a higher valued elixir, then just get out of the way and stop being annoying!”

It’s unclear whether the lanky fellow intentionally wanted to provoke Yun Xiao, but his tone became increasingly impolite. Yet Yun Xiao, at this point, didn’t get angry over a few words.

In any case, strictly speaking, the opponent hadn’t violated the rules of this trading event, and Yun Xiao and the stall owner’s transaction hadn’t been completed. Currently, they’re just in a bidding competition.

The opponent brought forth an Earth Rank Advanced elixir, and if Yun Xiao were the stall owner, he would definitely lean towards the Borrowing God Pill. Upon understanding these, Yun Xiao actually presented a smile.

”It’s just an Earth Rank Advanced Borrowing God Pill, nothing too impressive!”

When Yun Xiao said this, the observers were surprised, and both the lanky fellow and the shopkeeper had faint glows flash in their eyes, seemingly having anticipated this outcome.

Amidst the varied looks from the crowd, Yun Xiao calmly put the jade bottle in his Waist Storage, and upon a swipe, another jade bottle appeared in his palm as if out of nowhere.

”This is the Earth Rank Advanced ’Xuanfu Pill’, its value should be above the Borrowing God Pill, right?”

Yun Xiao didn’t stall, and amidst some astonished gazes from the crowd, he directly revealed the name and grade of the elixir in his jade bottle.

”Hiss...”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene went silent at first, followed by sounds of sharp inhales everywhere. Even those who had not yet reached the Earth Rank Advanced in Meridian Refining Technique were not the least bit unfamiliar with the renowned Mystic Concealing Pill.

Except for the difference in grade and name, the effects of the Mystic Concealing Pill and the Breaking Origin Pill are quite similar.

The difference is that the Breaking Origin Pill can only help cultivators in the Seeking Origin Realm break through one level of a small realm with ease, while the Mystic Concealing Pill allows Earth Bending Realm cultivators to break through one level of a small realm without any concerns.

The Earth Bending Realm and the Seeking Origin Realm are two completely different great rank realms, and the energy required to break through one level of a small realm is worlds apart, with not even a trace of comparability.

If the Borrowing God Pill offers just a faint chance for an Earth-rank Advanced Meridian Refining Master to touch upon a Heavenly Rank soul, then the Mystic Concealing Pill elevates that chance to an absolute level.

This is a true non-consumable elixir, one that, once ingested, permanently enhances one’s Meridian Qi Cultivation. Upon the appearance of this elixir, many people’s eyes in the scene almost bulged out.

Earlier, when the Breaking Origin Pill appeared, those cultivators who had reached the Earth Bending Realm weren’t as enthusiastic. But now, the Mystic Concealing Pill is incredibly effective for all of them.

The higher the rank, the rarer it is to find such an elixir that can directly and permanently enhance one’s power. In fact, the vast majority of people have only heard of the Mystic Concealing Pill’s fame, without ever having its pill recipe.

Previously, seeking a Mystic Concealing Pill required a tremendous cost to procure one from the pill hall of the Meridian Refining Master Association, and the expense was unbearable for some small families and small sects.

Unexpectedly, this unassuming young boy casually took out a Mystic Concealing Pill, and intended to trade it for a Wind-stabilizing Pearl, which is also Earth-rank Advanced. What a waste!

Many in the crowd have naturally heard of the Wind-stabilizing Pearl. Strictly speaking, even trading an Earth-rank Advanced Power Assistance Pill would result in a small loss.

Some onlooking cultivators wish they could directly step forward to stop Yun Xiao, to exchange other Earth-rank Advanced treasures from their Waist Storage with him.

However, the Mystic Concealing Pill, which is extremely precious to ordinary cultivators and even Earth-rank Advanced Meridian Refining Masters, is just a simple concoction for Yun Xiao now.

At least Yun Xiao has a favorable impression of this chubby shopkeeper. Although the value of the Mystic Concealing Pill is much higher than the Wind-stabilizing Pearl, he values suitability, and at the moment, the Wind-stabilizing Pearl is far more valuable to him than the Earth-rank Advanced Mystic Concealing Pill.

At this moment, the shopkeeper’s gaze had long become dazed, completely ignoring the tall and thin man’s jade bottle containing the Borrowing God Pill. He also couldn’t help but want to snatch the jade bottle from Yun Xiao’s hand.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper retained some sanity and took a few deep breaths, then shifted his gaze back to the tall and thin man.

”Do you have a more precious elixir than the Mystic Concealing Pill, brother?”

A shrewd light flashed through the squinted eyes of the chubby shopkeeper, and upon saying this, the expression on the tall and thin man’s face became extremely unpleasant.

”Kid, you win!”

The tall and thin man’s expression was so dark it seemed it could drip water, his eyes fierce as he stared at the jade bottle in Yun Xiao’s hand, but ultimately he could not avoid relinquishing and uttered these words harshly.

Indeed, the Earth-rank Advanced Mystic Concealing Pill is one of the top elixirs at that level. He couldn’t possibly produce a Heavenly Rank elixir to trade for the Earth-rank Advanced Wind-stabilizing Pearl, right?

Doing so would make him a fool. Besides, with the late stage of the Earth Bending Realm in his cultivation, he might not even possess a Heavenly Rank elixir. It’s safe to say that with the appearance of the Mystic Concealing Pill, Yun Xiao was already invincible.

”Hmph!”

It seemed the tall and thin man was irked by Yun Xiao’s wealth. He snorted coldly, extending his right hand to place the Wind-stabilizing Pearl heavily back on the stall, with his aura slightly unstable.

The tall and thin man shot the shopkeeper a cold glance, then glared fiercely at Yun Xiao before turning away in anger, signaling the conclusion of this drama.

”Boss, here’s the Earth-rank Advanced Mystic Concealing Pill, make sure you keep it safe!”

Unfazed by the tall and thin man’s antics, Yun Xiao casually handed the jade bottle to the shopkeeper and then grasped the Wind-stabilizing Pearl from the stall.

”Hmm?”

However, just as Yun Xiao’s fingertips made contact with the Wind-stabilizing Pearl, his expression changed dramatically, turning extremely dark, with a hint of intense fury flashing in his eyes, his gaze abruptly shifting.
