Soul Emperor Martial God

Fourth-grade Refining Furnace, the Separation Fire Gold Furnace was taken out.

At this time, Elder Yi suddenly tossed over a Qiankun Bag.

Xiao Yi, startled, asked in confusion, "Elder Yi, what is this?"

Elder Yi said indifferently, "I had known early on that you would complete those tasks and accumulate enough sword points to exchange for the Condensing Pill Five Elements Record."

"I also knew that with your comprehension, you would certainly penetrate the mysteries of the Condensing Pill Five Elements Record, so naturally, I prepared the alchemy materials for you in advance."

Xiao Yi opened the Qiankun Bag and was immediately astonished.

It was a high-level Qiankun Bag, with a vast space.

There were countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, with the lowest being Third-grade medicinal materials.

There were thousands of Demon Beast Cores, the worst being third-tier.

"This...." Xiao Yi was shocked, the contents of this Qiankun Bag were astonishingly valuable, even several times the value of the goods snatched from Shengbao Trading House last time.

Xiao Yi was well aware that Elder Yi was a person of quirky character and a stickler for rules; although he guarded the Outer Sect Treasury, he would never use any of it for himself.

This proved that these things had all been gathered by Elder Yi himself.

Moreover, Elder Yi could not have known that he would fully understand everything in just half a month, so he must have prepared these materials a long time in advance.

Just a month ago, when he had just returned, Elder Yi had unprecedentedly been absent from the Outer Sect Treasury....

Xiao Yi could guess that right after he had left for his training, Elder Yi must have prepared these materials for him.

The vast quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Demon Beast Cores must have taken Elder Yi a lot of effort to gather.

"Elder Yi...." At this moment, a warm current slowly flowed through Xiao Yi's heart.

Since arriving in this world, apart from Yiyi and the Elders of the Xiao Family, there was only this old man in front of him who treated him so kindly.

"No need for nonsense." Elder Yi set his face and said, "Start the alchemy, let me see your level."

"Yes." Xiao Yi responded seriously and began refining. Hеlp us соntinuе by rеаding аt thе sоurсе: МV2LЕМРYR.

He planned to refine the Mysterious Profundity Pill, the pill recipe of which Elder Yi had already given him before the alchemy guidance, and which he also knew how to refine.

One batch of materials after another was thrown into the Alchemy Furnace.

When the Mysterious Profundity Pill was about to congeal, Xiao Yi quickly added several Demon Beast Cores.

Elder Yi, who was beside him, nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, the timing is very precise."

After a while, when a perfect, pure Mysterious Profundity Pill was refined, Xiao Yi also felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He had confirmed that he could rapidly produce these pure elixirs.

Elder Yi took the elixir, examined it for a few seconds, and said, "Not bad, actually a Perfect Level elixir."

"In the aspect of alchemy, you shouldn't lose to Purple Flame. I've heard he has made a large number of perfect elixirs."

Elder Yi said solemnly, "Purple Flame, that boy, takes the path of the Fire Dao, able to control that terrifying Purple Flame; his Martial Soul must be very powerful."

"Now, you have penetrated the Condensing Pill Five Elements Record so quickly. It proves that your comprehension is no less than his, perhaps even stronger."

"Your alchemy level should be almost on par with his."

"The only thing you lose to him is in the aspect of Martial Soul."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Elder Yi, don't you think it's demoralizing for me when you keep mentioning in front of me how powerful other people are?"

"Demoralizing?" Elder Yi scoffed, "You've been demoralizing me this half-month."

"Furthermore, if I don't properly knock some sense into you, wouldn't you become too arrogant for your own good?"

"Within the Sword Sect, whether it's Ye Ming, Guu Changkong, or the chiefs of other halls, they all became arrogant and self-satisfied when they became the Chief, resulting in their Cultivation stagnating."

"As I guide your Cultivation, naturally, I won't allow you to take these detours."

"Hmph." Elder Yi said coldly, "Those Inner Sect Chief Disciples are coddled by the elders like treasures. They took detours, and they were properly enlightened."

"But as for me, I won't be so troublesome." Elder Yi said gravely, "If you become arrogant and complacent, I would directly throw you into those treacherous Demon Beast Forests of the Eighteen Cities of the Eastern Desolate, to survive alone for ten days to half a month."

"To let you understand that there are always greater powers out there, and also to let you witness the might of a peak-level Mysterious Profundity Realm Demon Beast."

"I..." Xiao Yi was at a loss for words.

...

"Alright, continue with alchemy." Elder Yi said.

"Alchemy is just a means of assistance. For a Martial Artist, Cultivation is the utmost priority."

"Don't forget the purpose of my guidance, which is to help you break through to the Mysterious Profundity Realm."

Xiao Yi nodded and said seriously, "Yes."

Xiao Yi resumed alchemy.

Incidentally, Elder Yi helped with the alchemy on the side.

Xiao Yi's alchemy abilities had already passed muster. Naturally, there was no need for him to waste time refining alone.

He took out a strange Fire Furnace and then concentrated the flames.

Afterward, one batch of materials was added; the whole process was fluid and fast, even faster than Xiao Yi.

When the elixir was finished, Xiao Yi glanced at it and saw it was a Perfect Level elixir.

This proved that Elder Yi's rank as an Alchemist must be very high.

Until night fell, the two of them finally stopped their alchemy.

They produced three hundred purity elixirs of the Mysterious Profundity Pill at the perfect level, combined.

Xiao Yi refined eighty.

Elder Yi refined two hundred and twenty.

After all, it was Xiao Yi's first time refining a pure Elixir, so he was much more cautious and therefore slower.

Of course, Elder Yi's refining speed was indeed very fast.

Moreover, many times he would stop to watch Xiao Yi and offer some evaluations; otherwise, his speed would have been even faster.

"Three hundred Mysterious Profundity Pills should be enough for you," Elder Yi said.

"With your Fire Control Beast Martial Soul Rank, the Qi Spring you condense should be about thirty zhang in length, width, and height."

"Three hundred pills should be enough for you to condense your Qi Spring and then raise your Cultivation by two levels."

"Tonight, go back and rest well. Breaking Core and Transforming Meridians to Condense Qi Spring is very important, so you must be well-rested."

Elder Yi instructed.

"Mm," Xiao Yi nodded.

"Don't come looking for me tomorrow," Elder Yi suddenly said, "you go directly to the Inner Sect's seclusion room, I'll have everything ready for you."

The seclusion room was specially prepared for disciples or stewards who needed to break through their Cultivation.

It contained meditation cushions that aided Martial Artists in quickly entering the required state.

Moreover, Martial Artists required peacefulness most when breaking through.

Thus, the seclusion room was isolated and equipped with Prohibitions.

Once disciples entered, unless they came out on their own or a Sword Sect elder forcefully broke the Prohibition, no one else could enter and disturb.

However, only Inner Sect disciples and stewards had access to the seclusion room.

Outer Disciples and Outer Sect stewards who wanted to break through could only do so in their own dwellings.

"Thank you, Elder Yi," Xiao Yi gratefully voiced his thanks.

"Go on," Elder Yi gestured with his hand.

...

The next day, inside the seclusion room.

Xiao Yi sat on the meditation cushion and began his breakthrough process in earnest.

The pure Mysterious Profundity Pill was ingested, turning into pure medicinal power.

It took about half an hour for a pill to fully exert its effect.

Xiao Yi did not want to waste that time.

Immediately, he used the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul to quickly absorb it.

One after another, the pills were tossed into his mouth like jelly beans, taking effect in a flash.

Following the methods Elder Yi had taught before, he was ready to break open the Ice and Fire Qi Pill in his body and fuse his nine True Veins.

The Qi Pill as the foundation, True Veins as materials, thus forming a Small World.

Xiao Yi was certain that his Qi Spring would not merely be thirty zhang in length, width, and height.

He wanted to see what tier his Qi Spring would be.

Full of anticipation, he had already swallowed a hundred pills in short order.

Yet... the Ice and Fire Qi Pill within him showed no signs of breaking, but merely cracked slightly.

The nine True Veins were the same, having melted less than one percent.

"This...," Xiao Yi was shocked and disbelievingly swallowed the remaining two hundred pills.

This time, there was an effect.

However, the Ice and Fire Qi Pill still did not break, only fracturing at a small corner.

The nine True Veins had only melted halfway.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yi frowned, "With the medicinal power contained in Mysterious Profundity Pills, and a full three hundred at that, even a Small World hundreds of zhang in size should have been condensed."

"Yet I haven't even completed the Breaking Core and Transforming Meridians process, and there's only a tiny bit of effect?"

After a moment, Xiao Yi suddenly realized.

His own Ice and Fire Qi Pill was much stronger than the ordinary one; his True Veins had also been amplified by the Golden Vein Pill.

Afterward, the nine Five Elements Pills further amplified both to a terrifying and perfectly enhanced state.

The amount of power needed for Breaking Core and Transforming Meridians and Condensing Qi Spring, and the size of the Small World formed, were significantly affected by these two factors.

Furthermore, as Elder Yi had said, the size of the Small World also largely depended on the strength of the Martial Soul.

The Qi Pill, True Veins, and Martial Soul were the factors determining the size of the Small World.

In other words, the difficulty of breaking open the Small World also depended on these three elements.

"It's over." This was Xiao Yi's only thought at present.
