Inside the elixir corridor, Xiao Yi and his group kept progressing.

Swish... another elixir shot through the air.

"Hmm? Pure Essence Pill?" This time, Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned.

If he guessed correctly...

Indeed, bang... a blast erupted.

The Pure Essence Pill detonated explosively, but the self-detonation did not produce any toxic gas or raging fire.

However, the violent airflow instantly pushed everyone except Xiao Yi back more than ten steps.

"Just as expected." Xiao Yi nodded secretly.

Turbocharged pure power surged forth.

The next second, two more elixirs shot through the air.

They were two Poison Pills.

If Xiao Yi had been unstable due to the Pure Essence Pill’s detonation just now, he would have completely failed to react in time to defend against these two Poison Pills.

The combination attack method of using the Pure Essence Pill with Poison Pills is somewhat troublesome.

Of course, Xiao Yi did not take it seriously.

Several streaks of Purple Lightning Sword Energy swirled from his hand, easily shattering the two Poison Pills.

For the next few minutes, Xiao Yi continued to move forward, blocking one elixir after another shooting through the air.

"Scorching Poison Pill."

"Blast Flame Pill."

"Pure Essence Pill."

"Moonlight Pill."

"..."

Xiao Yi’s figure advanced or retreated, with the sword in his hand slicing, blocking, or flicking...

The Moonlight Pill is also a type of cultivation elixir.

However, after detonation, the violent airflow resembles icy light and is extremely dazzling.

If struck with a sword, the icy light airflow will pass through the blade, even using the sword’s sharp edge to enhance its power.

Xiao Yi could only forcibly destroy it using the Purple Lightning Thunder Power within the Purple Lightning Divine Sword.

Unknown from when Gu Lianxing, who was behind him, became more and more shocked, even her pupils contracted.

She clearly noticed that Xiao Yi’s actions often were faster than the elixir’s explosion.

This is not a matter of speed.

After all, there are countless elixirs in the alchemy corridor with varying effects that require different methods to handle.

If it were purely about speed, being faster would be useless.

What truly shocked her was...

"Young Master Xiao Yi, elixir not yet detonated, you identify with a glance of what kind of elixir it is, how do you do that?"

She realized that when the elixir shot through the air, Xiao Yi moved his steps, and his body had already reacted.

This means Xiao Yi recognized various elixirs at a glance without needing detailed sensation or observation.

Recognizing the elixirs instantly allowed him to counter them immediately.

Xiao Yi flicked his finger tip, flicking away two Blast Flame Pills, and then said lightly, "Different elixirs have subtle changes in their patterns."

"After you come in contact with enough elixirs and refine enough on your own, achieving this isn’t hard."

Everyone kept progressing.

Gu Lianxing followed behind, pondering Xiao Yi’s words, but her face grew increasingly shocked.

"Along the way, all kinds of elixirs, numbering over a hundred."

"Young Master Xiao Yi can discern their effects and how to counter them with a glance; your accomplishments in Medicine Dao must have reached an astonishing level."

"For an alchemy genius like you to not enter the Medicine Venerate Hall, what a pity."

Xiao Yi heard this and remained silent.

This alchemy corridor is indeed troublesome.

An alchemist’s elixirs can save lives or kill.

Using elixir self-detonation, each type contains various energies with different explosive attack methods.

Yet the elixirs here are far superior in level to Gu Lianxing and the ten Heavenly Talents.

Xiao Yi had to break the elixirs in advance, becoming extremely passive.

Yet using elixir self-detonation as a combat strategy is extremely extravagant.

Xiao Yi had never tried it.

After all, to deal with an opponent, the elixir needed must match the cultivator’s own level, or even higher.

As for supreme power, it requires supreme elixirs to detonate.

And the effect might not always be optimal.

Supreme elixirs are invaluable; in a battle, how many explosions would suffice?

A normal alchemist would never be foolish enough to waste them like this.

Except here at the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb, where opportunities abound, treasures are countless, naturally elixirs are numerous, withstanding such consumption.

A few more minutes later.

As everyone progressed, the level of appearing elixirs continuously increased.

By now, supreme-level elixirs, including the Hundred Dao Pill, had started appearing.

Yet, these could not halt Xiao Yi’s progress.

Xiao Yi had long said, solely relying on this Medicine Dao technique, this corridor cannot stop him.

Unless it involves rare elixirs from Ancient Times or elixirs far surpassing his current level.

Otherwise, breaking through is not difficult for him.

Step...

Suddenly, Xiao Yi’s footsteps abruptly stopped.

The group following him quickly halted as well.

Xiao Yi looked back and saw that they had traveled less than a tenth of the entire corridor.

And at the spot where he stopped, blood began to spread, brimming over.

Xiao Yi sensed it briefly, nodding.

This location is where the alchemy prohibition and Blood Dao restriction intersect and converge.

The Blood Dao restriction is the channel where Ye Liu’s team proceeds.

Meaning here, the channels of the two cross over.

Within the massive passageway, Xiao Yi glanced at Ye Liu’s path ahead.

As expected, on Ye Liu’s Blood Dao route, Poison Pills unexpectedly exploded.

...

Inside the Blood Dao corridor.

"Poison Pills? Damn." Ye Liu was first startled, then cursed.

His team was full of strong members, far surpassing Xiao Yi’s.

Several Eighteen Mansions Masters like Xue Bai and Heu Youu were among them.

They journeyed together smoothly initially, with no great challenge.

Now with sudden Poison Pills erupting, it’s within acceptable limits.

Swish... swish... swish...

Ye Liu flicked his fingers, releasing over ten elixirs.

Ye Saint Six Extremes, known for one in medicine extremity; he’s also a proficient alchemist.

Hence breaking through isn’t greatly difficult.

...

The other corridors began to change gradually.

Initially, other teams moved faster than Xiao Yi’s.

Xiao Yi soon caught up with their pace.

Thus, every team now reached their channel’s convergence point simultaneously.

Ran Qi’s Wind Dao route was suddenly filled with swords dancing.

While Zhang Nanfeng’s Sword Dao route suddenly witnessed a gusty gale.

Clearly, their paths had intersection points.

The same goes for other teams, each path interconnected, escalating the difficulty suddenly.

In the alchemy corridor, Xiao Yi suddenly frowned.

Because, besides the blood overflowing from beneath, multiple Body Cultivation Puppets blocked the way ahead.

Xiao Yi glanced to one side.

His alchemy corridor connected with Ye Liu’s Blood Dao path on the left, while the right intertwined with the Black Cloud Academy team, linking the Body Cultivation channel.

Meaning other paths connect two ways.

Only his alchemy corridor connects three ways.

Before he could ponder, tens of Body Cultivation Puppets rapidly attacked within.

Simultaneously, multiple elixirs shot through the air.

Underfoot, the blood flow pooled into small streams, enveloping the ankles.

Swish... a crimson arrow shot through the air, aiming straight at his throat.

...

First Update.
