Chapter 145 Refining Ends
After hanging out with the Little Medical Fairy for quite a while, Xiao Yun ran to the back mountain alone, ready to start refining the Soul-Ronging Pill and the Bone-Ronging Blood-Ronging Pill.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xiao Yun waved his hand to cast a soul barrier. This time, he had to complete the medicine refining alone. Yao Lao, who was supposed to stay by his side, ran to the study in Xingyun Pavilion to study the medicine recipe.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron and the medicinal herbs that needed to be refined were taken out, and all kinds of medicinal herbs were placed on the ground, almost filling up the small hill.

“call!”

A wisp of pitch-black flame emerged from his fingertips, and with a flick of his finger, the pitch-black flame fell into the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron and instantly turned into a raging fire.

Xiao Yun’s eyes burst into two rays of light, and a surging soul perception spread out. One by one, the medicinal herbs were lifted up by the fighting spirit and thrown into the medicine cauldron…

Since this was the first time Xiao Yun used the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame to refine pills, this time Xiao Yun planned to practice with the Rong Ling Pill first. After all, this pill was only of the sixth grade, so he wouldn’t feel that bad even if it was destroyed.

……

As time passed, a pillar of light five meters wide shot up into the sky from the back mountain of Xingyun Pavilion, attracting many elders and disciples to stop and watch.

“Tsk tsk, what a strange sight! The pills refined by the young pavilion master are probably almost reaching the seventh-grade level. He is truly a genius! In a little while, a seventh-grade alchemy master will appear in our Xingyun Pavilion!” An old man in an ancient attic exclaimed in amazement as he stared at the pillar of light on the back mountain.

Xiao Yun had only refined an elixir once in Xingyun Pavilion, which was a sixth-grade Huangji Pill. Therefore, most of the elders and disciples of Xingyun Pavilion thought that Xiao Yun was only a sixth-grade alchemist.

“Old Xu, you are wrong.” Suddenly, an old voice sounded from behind him, and another old man came up.

“Old Jin, how could I be wrong? Isn’t the young master’s elixir close to the seventh grade?” Hearing this, the elder known as Old Man Xu blew his beard and pointed at the dark clouds slowly gathering on the back mountain. He said in a deep voice: “Look, even thunderclouds have appeared. Isn’t this close to the seventh grade level?”

“Haha, this is not what I meant. It’s the following sentence.”

“The last sentence?” Elder Xu was a little confused. “Could it be that the Young Pavilion Master cannot become a seventh-grade alchemist?”

Elder Jin shook his head slowly, then walked up to Elder Xu and said mysteriously, “You also know that I am responsible for managing intelligence, right? Just a few days ago, intelligence from the Western Regions came over. Guess what it is?”

“What? Stop keeping us in suspense!” Seeing his mysterious look, Elder Xu, whose curiosity was aroused, urged him.

“Haha, I’ll tell you, but you have to keep it secret for now!” Elder Jin stroked his graying beard, leaned in front of Elder Xu, and whispered, “The information from the Western Regions is this! It is rumored that the Young Pavilion Master once refined an eighth-grade elixir in the Semi-Saint Ruins!”

“What! Is this true?” Elder Xu had a look of disbelief.

“Keep your voice down! Others might find out!” Elder Jin quickly pulled his clothes and whispered, “I’m telling you this because you’ve been friends with me for many years! This news came from the Burning Flame Valley, so you should think about it yourself!”

The news from Burning Flame Valley? Could it be false? Burning Flame Valley is a more powerful sect than Xingyun Pavilion. How could they deliberately spread rumors about the young master of Xingyun Pavilion?

This means…!
An impossible answer flashed through Elder Xu’s mind, and he suddenly looked towards the back mountain with a fiery look in his eyes!
“A nineteen-year-old eighth-grade alchemy master! God bless the Xingyun Pavilion!”

……

In the back mountain of Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Yun had no idea about other people’s reactions. Even if he knew, he would not care. After all, he never cared much about such false reputation.

He just stretched out his hand, and a deep blue pill flew out from the beam of light that shot up into the sky. This pill was naturally formed and extremely round, like a dazzling sapphire. Even before getting close, one could smell a rich fragrance of the pill.

Holding the pill between two fingers and examining it carefully, he saw a circle of golden-red patterns on the surface of the pill, which was extremely gorgeous.

“That’s right. After taking this pill, the hidden danger in Medusa’s body can be completely solved.” Xiao Yun smiled slightly, then took out a jade bottle from the ring and put the pill into it.

Looking at the medicinal herbs scattered all over the ground, Xiao Yun let out a breath and murmured, “Next, the highlight is here!”

The seventh-grade bone-growing and blood-melting pill is related to Yao Lao’s resurrection, so we have to be careful.

Without waiting for his fighting spirit to fully recover, Xiao Yun took a short break while his hands were still hot, and then he continued to refine. The pitch-black flames once again enveloped the mountaintop…

Time was like fine sand, passing quietly with each wave of the hand. Relying on the soul power of the spiritual realm and the experience from last time, Xiao Yun stayed in the back mountain for ten days. During this period, he failed once, but finally he refined the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill.

And compared to the last time, this vision was even more terrifying, as if the end of the world was coming.

On the back mountain, an extremely huge black pillar of fire rose from the sky. The mere fluctuation of energy made countless elders and disciples of Xingyun Pavilion tremble with fear.

“This kind of fluctuation…”

In the sky, several sounds of breaking wind were heard, and then several old figures flashed out, looking at the pillar of fire rising into the sky from the back mountain. Especially after feeling the extremely terrifying aura in it, there was an irrepressible joy in the eyes of Master Feng.

“Hahaha, this aura is even more terrifying than last time. Xiaoyun’s alchemy skills have become stronger again!”

“It’s possible, but it’s more due to space reasons.” After hearing what Venerable Feng said, Yao Lao, who arrived late, explained in a deep voice: “The Starfall Space is different from the Semi-Saint Ruins last time. The power of the stars is accumulated here all year round, and it is only separated from the outside world by a barrier.”

“So, Xiaoyun doesn’t have to worry about the lack of heaven and earth energy while refining medicine here.”

As Yao Lao finished his words, clouds began to appear in the sky behind the mountain. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a thundercloud, covering the back mountain.

The thunderclouds rolled, and new clouds continued to merge into them, and then they became larger and larger. In the end, the entire sky above the Starfall Pavilion was shrouded in dark clouds, as if the end of the world had come.

Everyone in Xingyun Pavilion was agitated by this doomsday phenomenon. For most people, they had never seen an eighth-grade elixir come into the world.

Seeing the reactions of the people below, Venerable Feng summoned up his fighting spirit and said loudly: “Don’t panic, this strange phenomenon is caused by your senior brother Xiao Yun refining the elixir!”

“What! This kind of strange phenomenon in heaven and earth was actually caused by the young pavilion master refining the elixir?!”

After hearing what Master Feng said, there were bursts of exclamations from below. They didn’t dare to believe it, but they had to believe it!
Under the gazes of everyone in Xingyun Pavilion, the lightning element churned, and then green and silver colors slowly emerged from it.

“I see! It turns out that Senior Brother Xiao Yun is refining an eighth-grade elixir!”

Looking at the color of the thunderclouds, some of the disciples who had seen the birth of an eighth-grade elixir exclaimed. “What! Eighth-grade? Didn’t the elders say last time that Senior Brother Xiao Yun was a sixth-grade alchemist?”

“The elders must have remembered it wrong! Maybe Senior Brother Xiao Yun was already an eighth-grade one year ago!”

“Stop making noise! ​​Look! The color of the thundercloud is still changing!”

Many disciples were just arguing about Xiao Yun’s alchemist rank when they heard an elder’s exclamation.

They hurriedly looked up again, and saw that there was indeed a hint of red in the thundercloud, hiding behind the blue and silver colors, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly grew to the same level as the blue and silver colors!
“Three-color pill thunder, Xiao Yun is truly a genius! Last time it was two colors, this time it’s three colors! If we spread the news, how will those old guys in Danta have the face to call themselves alchemy giants?” Venerable Feng laughed heartily, as if he had already seen the moment when Xiao Yun would shine in Danta.

“Don’t be impatient, there are more than three colors!” Yao Lao narrowed his eyes, staring at the thunderclouds in the sky, and said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the thunderclouds in the sky rolling again, and a dazzling golden light, like the rising sun, quietly appeared in the clouds, releasing a golden-red light!

“This…” Venerable Skyfire and others opened their mouths wide, but could not say a word. The four-colored pill thunder, Xiao Yun’s pill had broken through the lower level of the eighth grade and reached the middle level of the eighth grade!

The many disciples below also began to boil with excitement. Four-color pill thunder! Eighth-grade intermediate alchemy master! They looked at the gorgeous thunderclouds in the sky with shocked eyes. Some even flew high into the sky to get a closer look.

……

On the back mountain, Xiao Yun looked at the sky, which had stopped churning and condensed into four colors of Dan Lei, and breathed a sigh of relief. He had never thought that he could actually refine a pill with four-colored Dan Lei!
Moreover, this was made with his own strength, without any water mixed in! Four-color Pill Thunder!

As thoughts flashed through my mind, the thunderclouds above began to flash with lightning and emit a low roaring sound.

“Boom!”

“Hahaha, go ahead!” Hearing the roar of the thundercloud, which resounded throughout the meteorite space, Xiao Yun let out a long howl, and the next moment, blue-silver thunder spewed out of his mouth. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge thunder dragon, rushing towards the thundercloud with its fangs and claws bared.

“boom!”

As if provoked by the Thunder Dragon, the thunderclouds suddenly shrank, and then a four-colored lightning tore through the dark clouds, like a divine punishment, carrying terrifying power and falling heavily.

“Roar!” The Thunder Dragon roared, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the thunder in just an instant. Countless lightning flashes spread across its body, but did not cause any effect. Instead, it made its momentum even more terrifying.

“Boom!”

Seeing the thunder being swallowed up, the thunderclouds suddenly rolled up, as if completely enraged, becoming more and more violent. Four-colored thunders that were several feet thick were wandering around in the clouds.

The next moment, countless thunders fell like a flood, and the entire back mountain was covered in thunder.

“Come on!” Upon seeing this, Xiao Yun suddenly leaped into the air, his fighting spirit running wildly in his body. His Wanlei Body Refining Technique was pushed to the maximum extent, his body bursting with dazzling light, and for a moment, he actually suppressed the brilliant thunder!
In mid-air, the young man was like the god of thunder. The overwhelming thunder was guided by him and rushed towards his body madly. Within a hundred meters around him, there were flashes of four-colored lightning.

“Boom! Boom!”

Brilliant thunder struck the young man, and dull sounds spread around. Anyone who heard the sounds couldn’t help but feel a tingling sensation on their scalp as they looked at the young man enveloped by thunder.

The thunder struck Xiao Yun and was instantly decomposed by the energy light film on his body surface, turning into countless tiny four-colored lightning snakes, which kept moving on the surface of his body and penetrated into his body through the pores of his skin.

“Hmph!” A painful snort came out of his nose. His originally handsome face became very distorted due to the thunder entering his body, and his whole body was enduring unspeakable pain.

After the power of thunder enters his body, part of it will be decomposed by the Dou Qi and transformed into pure energy to replenish the exhausted Dou Qi in the body, but more of it will be entangled in the bones, flesh, blood, and even important organs such as meridians, drill into them, and begin to strengthen these parts.

This kind of strengthening was extremely painful. If Xiao Yun’s body had not been strengthened by the strange fire when he subdued the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame before, he would have probably been pierced by the pill thunder by now.

All of the Dan Lei was absorbed by Xiao Yun, and the Thunder Dragon was not idle either. It swung its tail and went straight into the thundercloud. Its mouth opened wide, swallowing the thunder power in it wantonly.

“The Young Pavilion Master is truly a god! The Young Pavilion Master dared to withstand the pill thunder that ordinary alchemists fear! He also absorbed the energy from it to strengthen himself!”

Because the distance was far and Xiao Yun was completely covered by thunder, the people in Xingyun Pavilion could not see the mask of pain he was wearing. They thought he could take the thunder easily and praised him.

“Who says he isn’t? When the young master first came, I saw that he was no ordinary man. Now it seems that he is indeed a real dragon!”

The crowd below was talking about it, and many female disciples looked at the young man in the thunder, with strange light in their eyes.

“Looking at Xiaoyun’s appearance, it seems that he can’t bear it anymore. Should we go forward and help block it?”

Lord Feng narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly. His cultivation as a Dou Zun allowed him to clearly see the pain on Xiao Yun’s face. He said worriedly, he was afraid that this unparalleled young man would be struck by lightning.

“Don’t worry, old man. The brat can still absorb it. You see, he didn’t even use the strange fire, which means he can still bear it.” Hearing this, Yao Lao slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: “I think you can also see that this kid can absorb the energy from the thunder. Pill thunder is not a dangerous thing for him. Instead, it is more like a tonic.”

After hearing what Yao Lao said, Feng Zun Zhe and others also understood. Yes, there is still a Dou Zun-level Eight Desolate Destruction Flame in Xiao Yun’s body. If he really can’t hold on, the black dragon will definitely come out to resist.

The thunderclouds in the sky covered the earth very thickly, and the continuous thunder made many people’s ears numb.

But their eyes were fixed on the sky. To be more precise, they were staring at the figure of the young man under the thundercloud. The young man was facing the wrath of heaven and earth alone. How could they bear to take their eyes away from such a spectacular scene?

“Boom!”

After Dan Lei had been tirelessly wreaking havoc for more than ten minutes, the accumulated thunder power was finally exhausted. The thunder energy in the thunderclouds began to gradually weaken, and the dark clouds covering the sky also quietly dissipated under the gazes of countless eyes.

“Senior Brother Xiao Yun succeeded!”

“Young Pavilion Master is mighty!”

Everyone in Xingyun Pavilion cheered wildly, looking at the young man’s figure in the air, their eyes filled with admiration and fear.

They knew in their hearts that although the young man was unknown at the moment and was only the young master of the Xingyun Pavilion, in the near future, the name of Xiao Yun would surely resound throughout the entire Douqi Continent!
