Chapter 112: Refining the Zong Breakthrough Pill
Chapter 112: Refining the Zong Breakthrough Pill
In the sky above the imperial capital.
Jia Xingtian took a deep breath as he looked at Hai Bodong, who was clearly in much better shape than himself.
"Ice old man, this time... you won."
Hearing this, Hai Bodong couldn't help but let out a long howl towards the sky, feeling an instant sense of refreshment.
"Ah, satisfying!!!"
Seeing this, Jia Xingtian gave a bitter smile. He couldn't hold back the question in his heart regarding the unusual Dou Qi Hai Bodong displayed, which was entirely different from before.
"Ice old man, did you change your Dou Qi cultivation method?"
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong restrained his smile, pondered for a moment, and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Indeed."
The low-level Di-class cultivation method Su Yun had given him produced Dou Qi that was markedly different from his original method.
Even if he denied it, Jia Xingtian would think he was lying, so it was better to just admit it.
Jia Xingtian understood; the abnormal Dou Qi couldn't be hidden.
Jia Xingtian hesitated, his old eyes narrowing slightly, but he still asked.
"Ice old man, we've known each other for many years..."
Before he could finish, Hai Bodong interrupted with a wave of his hand, looking impatient.
"You've always had such a limited perspective, clinging to the Jia Ma Empire."
"Rest assured, I will be leaving the Jia Ma Empire soon."
"But I must ask you not to harm the Miteer family."
Jia Xingtian was taken aback.
"You're leaving the Jia Ma Empire?"
"Yes, in a while, both the young man and I will be leaving."
"You know, I'm following his lead now."
"By the way, hurry up and gather the materials for the Zong Breakthrough Pill. Otherwise, once we leave, who knows when we'll be back."
Perhaps feeling good about his rare victory, Hai Bodong spoke a bit more with Jia Xingtian.
Jia Xingtian understood.
They were planning to follow that sixth-tier alchemist to a bigger stage.
Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian felt a bit despondent as he looked at the imperial capital below him. With a long sigh, he still couldn't let go of the legacy left by his ancestors.
Jia Xingtian had risen because of the royal family, and he was also restricted by them.
With his strength, if he abandoned the Jia Ma Empire and traveled the continent, he might achieve even greater accomplishments.
Seeing this, Hai Bodong curled his lips.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back."
Jia Xingtian nodded and bade him farewell.
After Hai Bodong left, Jia Xingtian thought about the Zong Breakthrough Pill.
I might still have a chance to reach a higher level!
When Hai Bodong returned to the Miteer family, he first went to the villa where Su Yun was staying.
Qing Lin and Little Doctor Immortal were also waiting in the hall.
Qing Lin looked at Hai Bodong with some admiration.
"Grandpa Hai, you're amazing!"
Hearing Qing Lin's praise, Hai Bodong felt a bit proud.
"Of course, with just a slight move, I've already reached the limit of expenses!"
Seeing Hai Bodong showing off, Su Yun didn't say anything.
He should let him enjoy this moment of pride.
Following him, he wouldn't have many chances to show off in the future.
He took out a pill from the system space to restore Dou Qi and handed it to Hai Bodong.
"You swallowed the Revival Purple Spirit Pill this time. How did you directly break through to the seven-star Dou Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong explained the reason in detail.
After listening, Su Yun felt a sudden realization.
This old fellow had quite a bit of talent.
"And then there's my self-created Dou Technique, Mystic Ice Dragon Soar. The power of this technique increases with the number of ice dragons."
"Originally, I could only condense five ice dragons."
"But this time, thanks to you, that low-level Earth-class cultivation method gave me some insights."
"It allowed me to raise the upper limit of Mystic Ice Dragon Soar, enabling me to unleash a full seven ice dragons! Although it's still far from a mid-level Earth-class Dou Technique, its power has significantly increased compared to before."
Su Yun nodded continuously, realizing it was the butterfly effect he had caused.
Hai Bodong's strength was already only two stars short of Jia Xingtian.
With the new low-level Earth-class cultivation method and the greatly enhanced Mystic Ice Dragon Soar, it made sense that he could overcome the two-star gap and defeat Jia Xingtian.
Su Yun couldn't help but ask.
"Old Hai, how do you compare to Queen Medusa now?"
Hearing this, the previously smug Hai Bodong's expression gradually stiffened, his face twitching.
"Ahem, Queen Medusa's strength is formidable. Even though we're both peak Dou Emperors, Medusa is a few levels above Jia Xingtian."
"Moreover, she is a fire-attribute Dou Emperor, which inherently counters my abilities. I'm afraid I'm no match for her."
Hai Bodong's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Su Yun nodded, understanding that attribute counterplay still had a significant impact on combat strength.
Moreover, the Tagor Desert was rich in fire attribute energy. In a real fight, Hai Bodong would likely be at a disadvantage.
The group chatted for a while longer before dispersing.
Although the battle between Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong had ended, its aftermath was significant.
Following the battle, the Miteer family's influence surged, while the royal family's prestige slightly declined.
The various forces in the imperial capital initially thought there would be a conflict between the two powers, but the Miteer family remained extremely restrained, taking no action.
Similarly, the royal family acted as if nothing had happened, carrying on as usual without taking any measures, except for aggressively collecting medicinal materials within the Jia Ma Empire.
This left many forces puzzled.
Of course, there were some astute individuals who vaguely guessed the situation.
Another half month passed, and Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye paid a visit.
Su Yun and Hai Bodong came out to greet them.
"Master Zhang, Ice old man."
Hai Bodong nodded slightly and said no more.
"Old Jia, Princess Yao Ye."
After exchanging pleasantries, Jia Xingtian took out five jade boxes from his storage ring and got straight to the point.
"Master Zhang, during this period, we have gathered all the necessary medicinal materials. When can you refine the Zong Breakthrough Pill for me?"
Su Yun looked at the five jade boxes on the table with some surprise. Wow.
It's only been a little over a month since the deal with Jia Xingtian, and they've already gathered all the materials?
And they even collected five sets.
Most likely, the previous defeat spurred them on.
Su Yun put away the jade boxes and said.
"I can start now."
Hearing this, Jia Xingtian was overjoyed, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"Thank you very much!"
With Hai Bodong leading the way, they arrived at a quiet room.
"While I'm refining the pill, do not let anyone disturb me."
Su Yun instructed them.
Jia Xingtian's expression was solemn.
"Rest assured, Master Zhang."
Hai Bodong also nodded. An alchemist must not be disturbed during the refining process.
At worst, the attempt could fail. At worst, serious backlash could severely injure the alchemist.
Su Yun entered the quiet room, took out the five jade boxes, and placed the alchemy cauldron in front of him.
The Zong Breakthrough Pill was a peak sixth-tier pill. Even with Yao Lao's memories as a foundation, Su Yun had to treat it seriously.
Of course, if it came down to it, using the system's fusion function wasn't out of the question.
Su Yun sat for a while, adjusting his state to its peak. With a serious expression, a green flame emerged from his palm.
The refining process began!
