Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Red Underworld Pill_1 Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Red Underworld Pill_1 Qin Wudao, that old man, really was generous, sending so many fine things to Xu Fan.

Whether it was the Spiritual Medicine for healing or the Star-Spotted Blue Light Grass that Xu Fan had coveted since his rebirth, everything was fully provided.

For this, Xu Fan truly hoped for more such generous big BOSSes.

With the acquisition of the Star-Spotted Blue Light Grass, all the materials for the Blood Qilin Pill were gathered.

The Blood Bodhi pill was snatched from Qin Haowen, the Dragon-Horn Ginseng was traded from Qian Zongsheng, and the Starlight Blue-Speckled Grass was a charitable gift from the philanthropic zombie, Qin Wudao.

The effect of the Blood Qilin Pill was remarkably significant; it could solidify one’s Qi and blood, break through physical barriers, and enable cultivation breakthroughs without any bottlenecks.

If someone at the Qi Cultivation Stage consumed the Blood Qilin Pill, the success rate for reaching Foundation Establishment was one hundred percent; if consumed during the Foundation Establishment Stage, it could also allow one to form a Golden Core in the Dantian in one go.

Although its grade was not too high, for Xu Fan, it was a treasure as valuable as a city.

Xu Fan carefully examined the Star-Spotted Blue Light Grass several times, feeling joyful inside.

“It’s just a pity that I’m still very weak and can’t consume too much Spiritual Energy.

Forcing the concoction of the Blood Qilin Pill would affect my body’s recovery.

I should wait until my injuries heal before starting to make the elixir.”
“Fortunately, I’m not in a hurry.

With all the ingredients at hand, there’s no fear of them flying away, is there?”

“However, I can consider refining the Red Underworld Pill first, as it’s of a lower grade than the Blood Qilin Pill, much easier to make, and my body can bear the burden of its creation.”
Thinking this, Xu Fan’s thoughts moved as he took out the Crystal Red Underworld Ginseng from the storage ring that he acquired at the top of the Descending Dragon Tower’s mini-world, along with a Medicine Cauldron he scouted from an antique street, and immediately began the refining process.

Since a complete Red Underworld Pill didn’t require a whole 300-year-old Crystal Red Underworld Ginseng, Xu Fan only took about half of the Red Underworld Ginseng, added the prepared auxiliary medicines, and controlled their submission into the belly of the cauldron.

“Boom!”
Xu Fan rubbed his fingers together, and a strand of purple flame appeared at the fingertip.

With a light tap, the purple flame landed on the bottom of the floating Medicine Cauldron, heating it up.

To ensure even heating, the Bronze Medicine Cauldron slowly rotated in place.

Before long, the temperature inside the cauldron became very high, melting all the ingredients into liquid that fused and spun rapidly together.

The liquid’s moisture and impurities evaporated and were expelled.

The medicine quickly became concentrated, thickened into a gel-like substance, and finally solidified, forming the shape of an elixir.

After a full quarter of an hour, Xu Fan saw that the elixir was ready, so he opened the cauldron lid with Spiritual Energy.

A rounded reddish-brown pill then shot out from inside the cauldron, controlled to hover and turn in the air, displaying its surface with faint lines, numbering as many as nine.

The Red Underworld Pill emanated a strange scent, neither fragrant nor offensive.

Looking at the Ninth-Stage elixir that glowed with a reddish-brown halo, Xu Fan relaxed his brows and smiled, opening his mouth and gently inhaling, causing the freshly refined Red Underworld Pill to fly into his mouth and slide down his throat.

“Gulp!”
After swallowing the Red Underworld Pill, Xu Fan closed his eyes and silently began to operate the Chaos Primordial Opening Technique, fully refining and absorbing the power of the elixir.

In the area of his Dantian, a faint red light appeared at a low frequency, intermittently visible.

Meanwhile, fine beads of sweat emerged on his face.

“`
After four complete revolutions of his technique, a sudden dragon-like roar emanated from within Xu Fan, as if originating from the ancient past, commanding and profound, yet seeming to come from the future, elusive and ethereal.

Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Ɲονǥο.с0

He shrugged his shoulders, sending a jolt through his entire body.

A series of dense cracking sounds rang out from all his joints.

Clenching his fist, he struck the air, its power greatly increased; the air split with a muffled boom as it was forcibly expelled along the path of his punch.

This casual fist throw was likely powerful enough that even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would not be able to withstand it without being seriously injured or even gravely endangered.

This advancement also marked the entry of Xu Fan’s Chaos Heaven-Opening Body into its second layer.

After the breakthrough, his physical body had been greatly enhanced.

The substantial increase in strength, along with the significant improvement in defense, were almost inconceivable—comparable to a beast of the same stage.

A full-force attack from an average Grandmaster would probably not even breach Xu Fan’s defense.

Therefore, sniper rifles were already ineffective against him, and even a high-explosive grenade detonated in his pocket would only damage his clothing and singe his body hair, but fail to inflict even the slightest injury to his skin.

He was effectively an anthropomorphic armored vehicle, unfazed by concentrated fire from all sides.

Xu Fan was quite satisfied with the effects of the Red Underworld Pill, and couldn’t help but feel a hint of regret.

If he had crafted and taken the Red Underworld Pill earlier, gaining a considerable increase in strength before battling Qin Wudao, there would have been no need to resort to secret techniques, and he might not have been injured.

After shaking his head, Xu Fan began processing the remaining half of the Crystal Red Underworld Ginseng to craft the diluted version of the Red Underworld Pill, the Little Chiming Pill.

The efficacy of the Little Chiming Pill was estimated to be only a tenth of the Red Underworld Pill he had taken, but the upside was that its potency was much milder.

As long as one was at the Qi Drawing Realm, they could withstand the intense stimulation of the potency on the body.

After assimilating the potency of the pill, withstanding the rapid-fire spray of light bullets should be no problem.

Another half hour passed, and Xu Fan slowly exhaled, opened the furnace, and retrieved around a hundred successfully refined Little Chiming Pills.

He bottled them in jade bottles and stored them in his storage ring.

He planned to wait until the members of Yifan Security had completed their intensive training and then let them consume and assimilate the Little Chiming Pills.

By then, their strength would once again improve significantly, forming a scaled combat force.

Afterward, Xu Fan began cultivating in earnest.

Meanwhile, in the Ancient Martial World, a storm was already brewing.

In the southwestern part of Yan Country, jungles were dense, and the climate was hot.

This area could be said to be deep and inaccessible mountains, with enormous trees everywhere reaching diameters of one to two meters, as well as all kinds of unnamed flora, poisonous mushrooms beneath the trees, and various venomous insects and snakes hidden amongst them.

If an ordinary person were to venture in carelessly, their body would likely cool rapidly as life left them.

Deep in the jungle, a valley covered by thick vegetation was almost devoid of sunlight, such that even on a clear day, people could only see a short distance around them.

The valley ‘s entrance was both narrow and hidden; unlikely to be discovered year-round.

The sentries hidden there ensured that anyone who strayed into this area wouldn’t return.

Even if the poisonous flora and fauna didn’t kill them, the sentries would.

This valley, previously unnamed, acquired a name once the Black Blade Organization chose to establish their headquarters there—it was called Insect Valley.

Over many years, the organization had developed numerous tree, mountain, and rock hollows within the valley to serve as residences, dining areas, storage spaces, and lounges for the upper echelons of the Black Blade Organization.

Many clad in black sat meditating in these hollows day in and day out, radiating powerful auras as they fought for the valley’s nature’s spiritual energy.

Suddenly, a black-clad figure wearing a clown mask rushed into a vast, dark tree hollow and exclaimed, “Red Robe, something big has happened.”
