Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 559 True Five Elements Pu Pill

"Alas, so close yet so far!"

Before the alchemy cauldron, Qian Sanyuan’s face was extremely unsightly. After forcefully activating it several times, he finally could not summon even a trace of Earth Core Fire and gave up.

The Fire Pu Pill required a substantial amount of Earth Core Fire. Now, far from its perfect form, even if the elixir was successfully refined, without the strong Fire Attribute, it would only be a Waste Pill.

"What a pity for all these rare medicinal materials!"

Qian Sanyuan murmured to himself. In fact, as the Vice President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, he did not really care about these materials; what he cared about more was probably his own dignity.

Once nearly killing a patient while trying to cure them, he wanted to regain face in the field of alchemy; unexpectedly, despite not listening to advice, he ended up producing a Waste Pill.

A person like Qian Sanyuan would not hold up a Waste Pill and shamelessly declare the refinement a great success; after all, everyone present was a Meridian Master, and once discovered, he would lose not just face, but also his integrity.

"Vice Chairman Qian, restrain the Meridian Fire, strengthen the Power of Soul!"

However, just as Qian Sanyuan was about to open the cauldron lid and retrieve the Waste Pill, a gust of wind suddenly came, followed by a sharp shout in his ears.

"Yun Xiao?"

To this voice, Qian Sanyuan did not feel the slightest unfamiliarity; it was exactly three days ago that he had ignored this voice’s advice, which led to the creation of a Waste Pill.

But at this critical moment of forming the pill, if he really followed Yun Xiao’s advice to restrain the Meridian Fire, wouldn’t the alternating cold and heat cause the elixir inside the cauldron to instantly explode?

Moreover, restraining the Meridian Fire while enhancing the Power of Soul - what kind of approach is that? Without the Meridian Fire, could the Power of Soul still control the formation of the elixir?

As an Earth-rank Advanced Pulse Refining Master, Qian Sanyuan clearly knew that the Power of Soul was only a strong auxiliary force, allowing clear sensing of the changes in the medicinal materials under the burning of the Meridian Fire during the refining process to avoid uncontrollable situations.

But without the Meridian Fire, the Power of Soul would lack an object to assist, in a incorporeal and traceless state, even failing to support the elixir, which would only cause it to fall to the bottom of the cauldron, shattering to pieces.

However, for some unknown reason, because he had previously ignored Yun Xiao’s words leading to the failure in refining the Fire Pu Pill, at this very moment, touched by a sudden inspiration, Qian Sanyuan without thinking further, immediately restrained his Ancestral Vein Fire.

Boom!

At the same time, Qian Sanyuan’s powerful Power of Soul swept out, as if an invisible strong wind was blowing around him, intensifying the oppressive feeling of the crowd.

It was a pity that the invisible Power of Soul could not support the elixir’s form. After Qian Sanyuan restrained the Meridian Fire, the unsupported Fire Pu Pill finally helplessly fell towards the bottom of the cauldron.

Sigh...

Just then, a right hand suddenly placed itself on the fire inlet of the medicine tripod. Everyone clearly saw that it wasn’t Qian Sanyuan’s dry palm, but rather, as soon as this hand touched the fire inlet, a blood-red flame had already begun rising within the medicine tripod.

"Could it be Yun Xiao is taking over to refine the Fire Pu Pill?"

When everyone saw Qian Sanyuan’s actions earlier, they all thought of one possibility: failure. But now, Yun Xiao suddenly touched the medicine tripod and released Meridian Fire, what was he trying to do?

In this moment, everyone didn’t dare to breathe out loudly, including Qian Sanyuan, as if afraid of disturbing Yun Xiao’s sudden move.

Everyone guessed correctly; Yun Xiao indeed wanted to turn the tide at the last minute. Perhaps he did not want to see so many precious medicinal materials wasted, or perhaps he still had a good impression of Qian Sanyuan and did not want him to fail like this.

In any case, Yun Xiao made his move, though with his current low-level Spiritual Rank Power of Soul, it was absolutely impossible for him to singly refine an Earth-rank Advanced Fire Pu Pill.

But since Qian Sanyuan had already completed the most critical steps, merely failing due to the lack of Earth Core Fire, this might not be so difficult for Yun Xiao.

Although Yun Xiao had not reached the Earth-rank Third Realm, he could only rely on some special Meridian Techniques to invoke the Earth Power, but at this moment, he did not deploy those Meridian Techniques or invoke the Earth Power.

Only to see, with a thought, from his right palm, blood-red flames that seemed to have a sort of spirituality gushed towards the nascent form of the Fire Pu Pill.

"This... what is this..."

Not far away, Qian Sanyuan, whose Power of Soul had not receded, could clearly sense the change in the Fire Pu Pill. In this moment, the Earth Core Fire inside the elixir form had seemingly reached saturation.

"No, this is not Earth Core Fire!"

But in the next moment, Qian Sanyuan made another astonishing discovery - the Fire Attribute Energy inside the Fire Pu Pill was not the familiar Earth Core Fire, but another special Fire Attribute Energy.

Yet, no matter what, Qian Sanyuan couldn’t understand why there was another type of Fire Attribute Energy that could replace the Earth Core Fire and react with the Fire Pu Pill. What exactly was that blood-red flame?

At this moment, Qian Sanyuan would no longer doubt, it was indeed the Blood-red Flames unleashed by Yun Xiao that caused the Fire Attribute Energy within the Fire Pu Pill to reach saturation. It could be said that this Alchemy session was already ninety-nine percent successful.

"Uh?"

However, just as Qian Sanyuan wanted to control his Power of Soul to assist Yun Xiao in retrieving the Fire Pu Pill, he didn’t expect another force of Ice Cold Power to suddenly emerge from the rudimentary youth’s left palm.

"Not good!"

Feeling this extreme Ice Cold Power, Qian Sanyuan’s face drastically changed. The Medicine Tripod was currently filled with rising flames, and if it was shocked by this ultimate coldness, with the alternation of cold and heat, an explosion might seem an unavoidable possibility.

Swoosh swoosh!

Just as Qian Sanyuan was unsure of what to do, from within Yun Xiao’s left and right legs, astonishingly burst forth two types of energy, distinctly Earth and Wood Attributes.

"Is this... Yun Xiao’s Four Ancestor Veins?"

Qian Sanyuan had good insight, as early on during the Hidden Dragon Conference on the fighting stage, Yun Xiao had activated his Ancestor Vein Power, ultimately defeating the Xuan Jiuding.

However, what Qian Sanyuan didn’t understand was the purpose of Yun Xiao activating his four Ancestor Veins now, in this situation, it seems it might no longer be the true Fire Pu Pill.

Within Qian Sanyuan’s puzzled heart, even Yun Xiao was confused at this time. He originally just wanted to use the Ancestral Vein Fire of his right arm to reach the required state of the Fire Pu Pill.

Unexpectedly, just as the Fire Attribute of the Fire Pu Pill reached saturation, his left arm and both legs uncontrollably each released a force, successively injecting into the embryonic form of the Fire Pu Pill.

"Could it be..."

Yun Xiao’s understanding was far superior to Qian Sanyuan, an Earth-rank Advanced Meridian Refiner Master from Tenglong Continent. At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly swiped his hand across his waist.

Swoosh! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

A streak of golden light flashed out, clearly seen by everyone. What now appeared in Yun Xiao’s hand was the Strange Spirit Golden Saber, which had seen the death of champions in the previous Hidden Dragon Conference.

"Go!"

Yun Xiao didn’t consider the thoughts of the bystanders, with a flick of his wrist, a powerful sharp aura burst forth from the saber, and then a streak of golden light shot into the Medicine Tripod, conveniently seeping into the embryonic form of the pill.

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Five Elements unite, Five Elements Pu Pill, emerge!"

Just as Qian Sanyuan thought of a possibility, from the mouth of the youth in front of him, came a low and fervent shout.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Then, atop the round Elixir within the Medicine Tripod, suddenly burst forth dazzling golden, cyan, white, red, and yellow lights. Moreover, these lights seemed to possess a tremendous power, even blowing the lid off the Medicine Tripod.

"Five Elements Pu Pill, it’s actually a true Five Elements Pu Pill, this... this is a Heavenly Rank Elixir!"

When Qian Sanyuan saw that striking colorful brilliance, his face showed even more frenzy than Yun Xiao, his voice trembling a bit, for he knew what it truly meant.

Qian Sanyuan had the Pill Recipe for the Five Elements Pu Pill, indicating he was extremely knowledgeable about this Elixir. However, with his level of Alchemy, he could only refine one of the Five Elements Pu Pills.

Yet, this Elixir was called the Five Elements Pu Pill because, atop the single-type Earth-rank Advanced Pu Pill, there was a Low-level Heavenly-grade Pill, which truly deserved the name Five Elements Pu Pill.

The perfect form of the Five Elements Pu Pill possessed Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements, perfectly harmonized. Whether a Cultivator of any Attribute, consuming this pill would greatly enhance their own Attribute Power.

Moreover, there is a world of difference between a Heavenly-rank Elixir and an Earth-rank Elixir, the enhancement for a single Attribute is far beyond what Fire Pu Pill or Water Pu Pill could offer.

Yet, Qian Sanyuan never imagined that he just wanted to refine a Fire Pu Pill, and due to the insufficiency of Earth Core Fire, nearly led to a failed result, yet in the end, it formed into a true Heavenly Rank Elixir, the Five Elements Pu Pill.

Qian Sanyuan was clear in his mind, to successfully refine the Five Elements Pu Pill, even for some real Heavenly-grade Pulse Refiners, like the Chairman of the Meridian Refining Master Association, it was simply impossible.

Because there’s an extremely difficult prerequisite, that is, to successfully refine the Five Elements Pu Pill, one must collect adequate amounts of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Powers.

Each person’s Cultivation Technique differs, and so does their constitution. Among the Five Elements, there are even mutually generative and restraining properties, like a Cultivator who practices the Fire Attribute absolutely detests the aura of the Water Attribute, this is undoubtedly true.

Yet now, the scene unfolding before Qian Sanyuan forced him to believe his own eyes, those five colorful lights representing the powers of the Five Elements, were showing him that all of this was real.

Thinking of a possibility, Qian Sanyuan involuntarily lifted his head, his face fanatically staring at the opaque ceiling of the great hall, as if something significant was about to happen there.
