Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Sensation Caused by Eighth
Grade Elixir Pills (Please Subscribe)
The Demonic Qi of the Rank Eight Elixir, the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill, spread, alarming all cultivators in the imperial city.
Lu Changsheng hastily plugged the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd to prevent the Demonic Qi from causing chaos.
The Demonic Qi released by the Golden Core of the Flood Dragon that had transformed for eight thousand years instantly permeated the entire city.
In the Heavenly Prison of the imperial palace, a frightening burst of Divine
Sense flashed and then vanished.
“A Great Demon dares to attack the imperial city? It seems I must break my meditation and emerge… No, this overwhelming Demonic Qi has disappeared?
What exactly is going on?”
This terrifying Divine Sense swept across the city, trying to find the nonexistent Great Demon, but found nothing.
Soon, this terrifying Divine Sense disappeared without a trace.
Within the imperial city, in a small Daoist temple, another formidable Divine
Sense probed for the source of the Demonic Qi.
At Yue Lai Inn, a swordsman drinking alone under the moonlight was no longer intoxicated.
At Picking Flowers Temple, a monk sweeping the ground had a solemn
expression.
The Great Xia imperial palace, the Imperial Guards mobilized, and the city
gates were tightly closed.
The Emperor of Great Xia, startled by the fleeting overwhelming Demonic Qi, immediately deployed the Imperial Guards, ready to face the approaching Great
Demon.
All the princes and princesses appeared, engaging in Sword Flight, turning into streaks of golden light, gathering at the imperial palace.
“What has happened?”
“Just now, an overwhelming Demonic Qi emerged, followed by four powerful
Divine Senses sweeping across the city.”
“We can no longer detect the Demonic Qi and that powerful Divine Sense.”
“Tonight’s events are indeed strange.”
The princes, princesses, and the generals of the Imperial Guards were all baffled.
“Search the entire city, slay the demonic beings!
The Crown Prince ordered, and both the Imperial Guards and city defense forces were dispatched, scouring the city throughout the night.
At the Literary Court of Great Xia, the State Preceptor and a group of Great
Confucians were also on high alert, each more tense than the last.
The Demonic Qi emanating from the Golden Core of an eight-thousand-year- old Flood Dragon was so fearsome that it put many Great Confucians at the
Literary Court on edge.
Imagine, a Flood Dragon that had cultivated for eight thousand years, older even than the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, Real Person Taiyuan, attacking the imperial city of Great Xia-what sort of scene would that be?
With the slightest carelessness, the entire imperial city and millions of lives could be reduced to ruins.
“Zi Hou, what has alarmed you to come visiting?”
“The presence of a Great Demon appeared in the imperial city. To be prepared
for any contingency, I request that Teacher intervenes if necessary.”
In the bamboo grove of the Literary Court, the State Preceptor of Great Xia personally visited his Teacher, who lived in seclusion there.
His Teacher was the former head of the Literary Court.
“You may return.”
“Could it be that Teacher is unwilling to take action?”
“This is indeed the Demonic Qi of a Great Demon, but it is not a living being. It is the demonic power emitted by its Golden Core, which means this could be a disturbance caused by a Rank Eight Elixir. As for the source, the Demonic Qi vanished too quickly, so I also do not know where it came from.”
The person in the thatched cottage answered the State Preceptor of Great Xia’s confusion.
“It is the legendary Rank Eight Elixir.”
The State Preceptor of Great Xia’s pupils widened in shock.
A Rank Eight Elixir is a treasure that can establish a sect, and the State
Preceptor of Great Xia had never even seen such an elixir.
Rank Eight Elixirs and Rank Nine Elixirs are the Divine Pills of legends.
Only a Divine Pill crafted using the Golden Core of a Flood Dragon with eight thousand years of cultivation, like a Rank Eight Elixir, could demonstrate the preciousness of such a pill.
Yet who possesses this Rank Eight Elixir?
And why would someone intentionally release the Demonic Qi of a Rank Eight Elixir to frighten everyone in the imperial city?
The State Preceptor of Great Xia remained confounded despite pondering deeply.
He thought too much.
After resolving his doubts with his teacher, the State Preceptor informed everyone at the Literary Court and the Royal Palace, and only then did the Imperial Guards cease their search throughout the city.
Overnight, the cultivators of the Imperial City were awoken by the surging Demonic Qi, causing an uproar.
“This is truly embarrassing.”
A lapse in attention from Lu Changsheng had caused an eighth-grade Elixir Pill to create a sensation within the Imperial City, and he couldn’t help feeling
guilty.
However, in the instant when the Demonic Qi from the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill was released, several terrifying presences within the Imperial City swept over the whole city, nearly detecting the source of the Demonic Qi, which deeply shocked Lu Changsheng.
The Imperial City of Great Xia was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, certainly not an ordinary place.
The Great Xia Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in Xia State, protected by Mount Shu, and the Imperial City was home to some hermit experts in
seclusion.
“The Royal Palace, Daoist Temple, inn, temple, and Literary Court together shelter five peerless experts, with cultivation levels surpassing my own.” “There are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens, I must be even more cautious.”
Lu Changsheng sensed that there were at least five hermit experts in seclusion within the Great Xia Imperial City.
Apart from the six Orthodox Sects, four Demon Sects, and various dynasties, the Jianghu was also filled with powerful Loose Cultivators who preferred not to be restricted by the sect rules and indulged in the wandering life.
After the commotion in the city had settled, Lu Changsheng set up a formation barrier to prevent the Demonic Qi of the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill from leaking again.
Now, Lu Changsheng could see clearly the appearance of the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill.
It was a gold pill with alternating golden and red colors, naturally formed with complex patterns on it, emanating astonishing demonic power.
Lu Changsheng was certain that if he were to Refine this Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill, it would suffice to aid his future advancement from the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm into the Void Refinement Realm.
The Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill could also enhance one’s physical aptitude, making the body even more formidable.
This eighth-grade Elixir Pill was indeed important.
Lu Changsheng resealed the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill back into the Purple
Gold Bagua Gourd to save for future use.
Then, Lu Changsheng took out two seventh-grade Elixir Pills.
[Fire Lotus Elixir: A seventh-grade Elixir Pill, refined from the Fire Lotus which grows within Earth Fire. It can enhance vitality, making the blood carry the power of the Fire Lotus. Suitable only for cultivators with the Fire Spirit Root and those above the Dao Palace Realm.]
[Enlightenment Pill: A seventh-grade Elixir Pill, increases the chances of sudden Path Comprehension, suitable for cultivators in the Dao Palace Realm.]
Lu Changsheng could use both of these seventh-grade Elixir Pills.
Having the Innate Taoist Body of the Five Elements Spirit Root, Lu Changsheng met the requirements to use the Fire Lotus Elixir.
It was also highly suitable for Lian upon Advancing into the Dao Palace Realm. Lu Changsheng decided to use it first himself, and when Lian advanced to the Dao Palace Realm, he would make arrangements to obtain another Fire Lotus
Elixir.
As for the Enlightenment Pill, it was also a type of Elixir Pill that Lu Changsheng urgently needed.
At the moment, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation was at the peak of the seventh level of the Dao Palace Realm, just a step away from the eighth level.
With the use of the Enlightenment Pill, coupled with the training on Tianyu Mountain, advancing to the eighth level of the Dao Palace Realm was almost certain.
Lu Changsheng temporarily put away the Fire Lotus Elixir and swallowed the Enlightenment Pill.
As the medicinal strength of the Enlightenment Pill was being refined, Lu Changsheng entered a state of chaotic meditation, as if he had arrived at the dawn of the creation of heaven and earth.
During his meditation, some of the previously incomprehensible and profound content of the Taiqing Wuji Technique became perfectly clear to him.
“Worthy of being the Enlightenment Pill.”
Lu Changsheng seized the brief moment of sudden comprehension. Sudden comprehension was a rare opportunity to accelerate the understanding of cultivation techniques and Martial Techniques, and it also improved one’s cultivation level.
Unconsciously, Lu Changsheng began to breach the eighth level of the Dao Palace Realm.
The nature’s spiritual energy of the entire Imperial City started to converge towards the room where Lu Changsheng was located, stirring like a tempest.
After the commotion caused by the Great Demon’s Demonic Qi had just subsided within the city, the Imperial City was once more shrouded in tranquility. However, now above the Imperial City, with the Purple Aura Coming from the East, a celestial phenomenon had astonishingly appeared…
