Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1614: Two New Pill Recipes

”Hmm?” Long Wuzhao and the two dragons were surprised to see Feng Yao bringing Yue Ningxue with her. ”Since when have you been in this tower?”

”Yesterday.”

Long Wuzhao remembered that Yue Ningxue had already reached the third floor, but she shouldn’t have been able to complete all the challenges on the first floor in just one day. He looked at Feng Yao and thought that she was the one who brought her through all the challenges on the first floor.

Tianshi Bailong and Long Xukong also thought the same, and they thought that Long Wuzhao’s past guess about Feng Yao’s identity was indeed correct.

”The people from the Divine Samsara Sect are already on the first floor, and we will use them to fight those demons.” Feng Yao waved her hand at the entrance, and crimson flames immediately enveloped it. ”You don’t need to worry about the safety of these people, and you can begin your challenges.”

”Why is that?”

”Don’t you guys want to go to the Zhanlu Domain?”

Yue Ningxue and the three dragons were shocked again. ”Does that mean Zhang Fei will succeed in opening the stone gate on the third floor?”

”Just wait and see.”

Long Wuzhao, Long Xukong, Tianshi Bailong, and Yue Ningxue immediately began their challenge on the second floor.

Feng Yao looked at Su Shentian, Jian Kuang, and Zhuxian Sheng. ”You guys also start now, and I will protect our people.”

”Alright.”

Li Guangyu and the elders of the Divine Samsara Sect looked at Feng Yao, but she didn’t care about them and stood casually right in front of the entrance. ’What exactly is that barbarian woman planning? Why did she ask them all to undergo their challenges? Why is Ancestor Ningxue with them? Did she betray us? I have to tell our sect master and the others about her.’

Outside the Tower of Eternity, Liang Huizhong was still furious with Feng Yao for refusing to help them and capturing Yue Ningxue.

Liang Huizhong was confused about how Feng Yao could bring his ancestor directly to the second floor when Yue Ningxue hadn’t completed all the challenges on the first floor. He had challenged the tower several times in the past, and he had once tried to fly to the second-floor stairs, but he was penalized that time. In the end, he worked hard to complete all the challenges on the first floor before he went to the second floor.

A male elder asked him. ”What are we going to do now, Sect Master? Those black fireballs don’t belong to the demons of either race, so I’m sure someone is hiding inside and trying to pit us against each other.”

”Yes.” Liang Huizhong had suspected that from the start, but he couldn’t track the three Zhang Fei clones on the first floor while he was using his invisibility ability. ”That mysterious person and Empress Huo clearly want us to be caught by those demons or even die in their hands. If we go in now, that mysterious person and those demons will attack us again, so we should wait for the situation inside to be calmer.”

”Should we contact the other ancestors?”

”Even if we contact them, it would take them three weeks to a month to arrive at this domain, and the situation might have already turned bad for our people by then.” Liang Huizhong looked towards the entrance, frowning. ”The best solution is for them to give up the challenge, and the tower will send them out of there so they don’t have to face those demons. Li Guangyu just informed me that Ancestor Ningxue and the three dragons have already started their challenges on the second floor, so they won’t be able to protect our people.”

”I’m still confused by how Empress Huo brought Ancestor Ningxue to the second floor without passing all the challenges on the first floor, Sect Master.”

”I don’t have an answer to that, but I’m sure Ancestor Ningxue didn’t betray us, and Empress Huo forced her that way. Even though she was powerful, she wouldn’t be able to defeat that barbaric woman; even Long Wuzhao and the two dragons were beaten black and blue by her in the past.” Liang Huizhong contacted Li Guangyu, ordering him to tell their elders and disciples to surrender if the demons of both races reached the second floor. ”Let’s wait for now.”

”What new items are suitable for us, Mei?”

[Master, the general items have not changed, but there are three new pills in the dual cultivation store.]

”Three pills?” Zhang Fei [1]’s eyes lit up.

[Yes, Master. Extreme Yang Pill, Extreme Yin Pill, and Yin-Yang Harmonization Pill.]

”Oh? What do the three pills do?”

[Wait.]

[Extreme Yang Pill: The Yang Qi produced by the body is 5 times purer; the quantity increases by 5 times.]

[Extreme Yin Pill: The Yin Qi produced by the body is 5 times purer; the quantity increases by 5 times.]

[Yin-Yang Harmonization Pill: The pill harmonizes the Yin and Yang Qi in the body, allowing both to reach equilibrium faster.]

”Oh?” Zhang Fei [1] calculated the effects of the pill, the Qi Amplifier, and the formation within the pavilion. ”Hey! Our cultivation will be much faster with those pills and feature upgrades, Mei.”

[Well, that’s true, Master.]

”What else?”

[There are two new beast pills, Master. The Beast Evolution Pill and the Heaven Tribulation Beast Pill.]

”Show me.”

[The Beast Evolution Pill: Not all beasts can evolve into humans, and this pill forces them to evolve. Note: Extremely painful.]

[The Heaven Tribulation Beast Pill: When consumed, the pill unleashes violent arcs of tribulation lightning within the body, tempering flesh, bones, and meridians as if the cultivator is undergoing a miniature heavenly tribulation.]

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei [1] rubbed his chin. ”Since I am a heavenly fox and the calamity demon dragon, I should be able to swallow the Heaven Tribulation Beast Pill. However, I won’t do that now, and I will wait to return to my sect first. As for the Beast Evolution Pill, I think it will be useful for You Bai, Hu Yi, Hu Er, Jui Shui, and Tianguo, especially since they don’t have human forms. Mei, buy the pill now, and I will give it to them.”

[Alrighty.]

{You obtained 5x the Beast Evolution Pill.}

{100,000,000 beast essences have been deducted from your balance.}

Zhang Fei [1] didn’t mind the deducted beast essences much because he had a large amount of them, and he hadn’t bought any beast items in the shop since he obtained Yao Qilin and Fei Lian. He entered the beast space and gave the pills to the five beasts before coming out again. ”What else, Mei?”

[The rest are alchemy recipes and blacksmith blueprints, Master.]

”Hmm? Show me those new alchemy recipes, Mei.”

[The Celestial Soul Ascension Pill: A pill that targets the most elusive aspect of cultivation—the soul. Once swallowed, the pill dissolves into a stream of radiant soul light and directly enters the soul world. The cultivator’s soul is enveloped in a heavenly aura, undergoing refinement, expansion, and purification. Faint visions of the heavens and Dao patterns may appear, guiding the soul toward a higher state of existence.]

Zhang Fei [1] fell into a daze for a moment before turning overjoyed. ”Do you think that pill can help me break through to the immortal soul stage, Mei?”

[I don’t have an answer for that, Master. Moreover, you don’t have all the ingredients, so you won’t be able to concoct the pill. If my guess is correct, you can only find them in the Ancient Realm, so you’ll have to go there to look for them.]

”Are there any other new pill recipes besides that?”

[There’s another new pill, but you can’t concoct it right now either, and it will be useful for you in facing your lightning tribulation, Master.]

”Show it to me.”

[The Heaven Tribulation Conqueror Pill: A legendary pill created for one purpose—to dominate and survive the wrath of Heavenly Tribulation. When taken, the pill creates a bright protective shield inside the user’s body, covering the meridians, dantian, and soul with a tribulation-resistant aura that can resist the heavenly lightning.]

Zhang Fei [1] clenched both his fists as he held back his excitement. Ever since he broke through to the Earth Realm, the only thing he feared most was his lightning tribulations, and he had repeatedly suffered severe injuries every time he broke through. Moreover, the heavens hadn’t sent down his lightning tribulations in his last few breakthroughs, and the last time he faced one was when he broke through to the Celestial Lord Realm years ago.

Zhang Fei [1] felt afraid and horrified that one day the heavens would bring down all his lightning tribulations when he broke through, and he was not sure that he would be able to face such powerful lightning tribulations at once. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the ingredients to concoct the pills, and he had to go to the Ancient Realm to look for them.

The problem was that the situation in the Ancient Realm was in chaos due to the appearance of those shadowy creatures, and they had spread across various domains in that realm. According to the Will of the Universe, they targeted the two souls of the ten-tailed fox there, convincing Zhang Fei [1] that they would attack him as soon as he set foot in that realm.

[Master, I know you want to obtain both the soul of the ten-tailed fox and the ingredients for those pills, but I don’t recommend you go to the Ancient Realm too early. We don’t have clear information about the strength of those shadowy creatures, and I’m afraid that you won’t be able to defeat them.]

Zhang Fei [1] sighed. ”You’re right, Mei.”
