On a remote mountaintop stood a bamboo house. A gentle breeze was blowing through the surrounding bamboo forest, causing the bamboo leaves to sway like waves in a green sea.
The bamboo house, though unremarkable on the outside, exuded a palpable aura that radiated from within. This aura seed to expand to a certain distance, suppressing the bloodlines of the nearby Ancient Void Dragons. It created an invisible barrier that deterred them from getting any closer.
Of course, none of them would ever try such a thing. The reason for this was that the current Dragon Emperor, whom they worshipped with all their hearts, was currently residing in this bamboo house.
How could they have the nerve to intrude on the Dragon Emperor's place?
Inside the bamboo house, a conversation was unfolding at this mont.
"Ever since I ntioned the old man's whereabouts, the tribe's elders have beco restless, anxious to go with those from the Ancient Clans. I regret telling them," Zi Yan lanted, her voice tinged with weariness.
She was stretched out lazily on the bed. Her naked form was barely covered by a thin sheet, revealing the alluring contours of her body. Her posture accentuated her exquisite figure as she spoke with a hint of helplessness.
Not far from her, Xiao Ming sat with a cup of slightly steaming tea. His eyes feasted on the captivating sight that belonged only to him. He chuckled at her words, "These elders still have so sense of decency. At least they didn't just barge in."
"Hmph, who knows if soone will suggest that in a few days," Zi Yan snorted as she abruptly sat up, causing the blanket to slide down, exposing her creamy, plump breasts. Her long, flowing purple hair cascaded around her like a waterfall, giving her the appearance of a divine goddess descended to the mortal realm.
Noticing Xiao Ming's heated gaze resting on her body, Zi Yan smiled with satisfaction. Her figure vanished in an instant, only to reappear on Xiao Ming's lap. Their lips, which had been in constant search for each other the night before, t once again in another passionate exchange...
With a casual wave of her hand, Zi Yan created a purple dress on her body after savoring the lingering taste of her beloved's lips. Then she leaned back against Xiao Ming's chest and said, "Let's discuss these annoying matters another ti... Um, hehe, I forgot to tell you yesterday that those old guys already gave the dicinal ingredients you asked for. Have a look and see if anything is missing."
Her storage ring emitted a bright white light, and nurous jade boxes floated in front of her as her words fell. All sorts of astonishing energies were emanating from inside them, making it clear that these were no ordinary items.
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes at her innocent look. He held her slender waist with his left hand, and with a wave of his right hand, the jade boxes burst open, revealing a variety of dicinal herbs.
"I will refine a Ninth-Tier Lightning Calamity Pill. Try not to let anyone disturb during this ti."
Although he had prepared many dicinal ingredients for Xuan Pills with the help of the Heavenly Court, the materials for the Lightning Calamity Pill were not fully prepared. Fortunately, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe had a rich collection, so the problem was easily solved.
After lovingly caressing her hair and giving her a few last instructions, Xiao Ming ford a hand seal and summoned a small white snake onto his shoulder. Without waiting for his command, it opened its mouth, and a golden light shot out.
Rumble!
With the release of this golden light, the sky imdiately rumbled with deafening sounds. The golden light expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a massive golden lightning dragon that stretched for thousands of ters. Enormous arcs of lightning danced across its surface, causing thunderous noises and storm clouds to gather in the sky.
Seeing the terrifying pressure emanating from the golden lightning dragon in the sky, many of the nearby Ancient Void Dragons changed their expressions and quickly retreated to a safe distance. Despite their formidable physical strength, if even a tiny bit of that lightning struck them, many of them might be reduced to ashes.
When Zi Yan saw that Xiao Ming had begun his refining process, she voluntarily moved aside. But she didn't go too far. Instead, she positioned herself not too far away to protect him.
"Roar!"
The lightning dragon roared in the sky, but its golden dragon eyes showed no emotion. It was all pure energy now, lacking any form of intelligence.
Xiao Ming looked at the raging lightning dragon in the sky with a slight smile. He could sense the fierce and powerful nature of this energy. If it weren't for his Emperor Realm soul, he might only be able to borrow its power occasionally. As for refining it, even if he was a seven-star Dou Saint, it would probably be an extrely difficult task.
However, thanks to the advancent of his soul during his recent experience with the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, the originally rather daunting Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning had beco much more manageable in his eyes.
After watching for a while, Xiao Ming's hand seal changed. At the center of his forehead, the deep and boundless soul power surged like a storm, and in an instant, a colossal hand appeared in the sky, one that was many tis larger than the lightning dragon.
The overwhelming aura emanating from that colossal hand was many tis greater than the pressure of the lightning dragon. Just gazing at that gigantic palm would send a shivering sensation crawling up one's soul.
It was like eting the Emperor of Souls, and only by prostrating oneself could one avoid being hard by this pressure.
"Xiao Ming, that young fellow, is truly extraordinary. He has grown so much in just a few years. Even his ancestor, Xiao Xuan, couldn't have reached such heights, right?" Several Ancient Void Dragon elders marveled from a mountaintop ten miles away.
Leading them was Grand Elder Zhu Xun.
"When I first t this young fellow, he was just an insignificant Dou Venerate. Although he had incredible potential, it was far from reaching this extraordinary level. It seems that even I underestimated him. Now, getting the upper hand against him is quite a challenge," Zhu Xun said with a sense of admiration.
"Besides, with this scale, he should be refining a Ninth-Tier Xuan Pill, right? This level of alchemy is truly impressive."
"According to Her Majesty's account, the forr Dragon Emperor was found by Xiao Ming and brought Her Majesty to him. He also brought Her Majesty back to the Central Plains. It seems that he is the lucky star of our Ancient Void Dragon Tribe!"
As the elders spoke, a huge, mountain-like hand reached out from the clouds and grabbed the lightning dragon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seeing the giant hand approaching, the golden lightning dragon's scales stood on end. It opened its huge mouth and spat out large golden lightning bolts, which collided violently with the giant hand. The deafening thunderous noises echoed through the sky.
The golden arcs of lightning flickered wildly in the sky, forming a golden thundercloud. The thundercloud had barely ford when it was ripped apart by the descending hand. Then the hand imdiately grabbed the lightning dragon's body with terrifying force.
"Sizzle!"
Caught by the hand, the lightning dragon struggled desperately. Lightning bolts continuously struck the giant hand, producing a crackling sound. However, the giant hand did not move at all.
"Hmph, shatter for !"
As he looked at the wildly struggling lightning dragon, Xiao Ming let out a resounding shout. Imdiately, the power of the palm in the sky surged, and with a deafening explosion, the golden lightning dragon was crushed instantly.
The dragon shattered into pieces and turned into a huge expanse of viscous golden liquid floating in the sky. Within this golden liquid, there was a trendous and unparalleled energy fluctuation.
Following the appearance of the golden liquid, black flas spread across the sky. A massive cauldron, thousands of ters in size, abruptly took shape. The lid of the cauldron flew open and a powerful suction force erupted. The ocean of golden liquid that filled the sky, like countless golden rivers pouring down from the heavens, was completely sucked into the cauldron.
Beneath it, Xiao Ming's expression remained unchanged. He waved his sleeve, and a vast array of over ten thousand types of dicinal herbs, along with the herbs provided by Zi Yan, floated out. They covered the sky, forming a vast ocean of herbs. The rich aroma of the herbs was so intoxicating that one could be imrsed in it with just a single whiff of it.
With a thought, the black flas swept wildly, each ti sweeping away large swathes of dicinal herbs. Under the masterful control of his Emperor Realm soul, hundreds of different types of dicinal herbs were thodically transford into pure dicinal liquids with each sweep.
In no ti, Xiao Ming had completed this colossal and intricate task of dealing with over ten thousand types of herbs on his own. Moreover, he showed no sign of ntal exhaustion.
"Condense!"
Xiao Ming's hand ford rapidly changing seals, and he let out a low cry. His gaze remained fixed on the giant cauldron as over ten thousand dicinal herbs rged with the Lightning Tribulation Golden Liquid.
A vibrant lake of energy ford within the massive cauldron as the various herbs and their different properties rged. In the process of integration, conflicts naturally arose.
The waves swirling on the surface of the lake were so powerful that even ordinary Dou Saints would be swept into the lake and subrged by the sheer energy within.
The energy within this lake was far superior to what ordinary Dou Saints could handle.
The black flas swirled madly, ticulously managing the properties of the herbs. With the precision of his Emperor Realm soul, Xiao Ming clearly discerned these properties, knowing exactly when to condense or disperse them, and when to accelerate their fusion. He had a complete understanding of the process.
However, it was a ti-consuming endeavor. It was impossible to refine the Ninth-Tier Xuan Lightning Pill without at least a month or two.
Xiao Ming closed his eyes and patiently awaited the birth of the final pill.
