Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Within the Spirit Cave of Pill Emperor Win, Lin Dong continued refining the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

Three days and nights had finally passed!

At this moment, it was the final instant as the Thunder Tribulation Pill was taking shape.

Lin Dong pushed the Alchemist Fire to 8000 degrees.

With such a high temperature, the final intense flame was used for condensing the pill!

"Buzz～～"

The almost forming Thunder Tribulation Pill spun rapidly inside the Colorful Furnace, its speed exceeding five times the speed of sound.

The energy generated by the pill almost seemed to lift the lid off the Colorful Furnace.

However, the Colorful Furnace, under the control of the Spirit of the Five-color Furnace, Xiao Wu, continuously emitted the power of the five elements.

The power of the five elements restrained the pill from flying away!

A Fifth-grade Dan medicine, if not suppressed, would fly away the moment it formed. Such speed, even Earth Realm martial artists wouldn't be able to catch it.

"Boom～～～"

After roasting in 8000-degree flames for half an hour, the pill's fifth alchemy mark fully formed.

Simultaneously, a fragrant aroma filled the air.

A pungent medicinal scent enveloped the entire Spirit Cave.

Additionally, flashes of thunder flickered within the Alchemy Furnace.

"The Thunder Tribulation Pill is complete!" Lin Dong exclaimed joyously.

It took him roughly four days in total, but he finally successfully refined the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

At this moment, the Thunder Tribulation Pill had ceased spinning and lay quietly at the bottom of the Colorful Furnace.

Lin Dong opened the lid of the Alchemy Furnace.

"Whoosh!"

The Thunder Tribulation Pill, which lay quietly, suddenly transformed into a streak of light attempting to escape once the furnace opened.

Luckily, Lin Dong was prepared and swiftly caught it in his hand.

And fortunately, Lin Dong's strength was now at the peak of the Ninth Stage Grandmaster, otherwise, he might not have caught the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

Because its speed was too fast.

After catching it, Lin Dong sealed it with his Inner Qi.

This way, it wouldn't fly away again.

Next, Lin Dong took out the Medicine King he obtained from the Hidden Dragon Cave.

This Medicine King was a flower in the shape of a dragon, containing terrifying medicinal power within.

As soon as it was taken out, a dragon's roar echoed, as if it was going to transform into a dragon and fly away.

Lin Dong quickly subdued it.

Then, he swallowed the Medicine King.

Just as it entered his stomach, Lin Dong felt a terrifying surge of energy inside him.

This energy was so overwhelming, it almost made his body explode.

Lin Dong hurriedly activated the Nine Shift Longevity secret to refine it!

"Sizzle～～～"

Continuous energy was activated by his Nine Shift Longevity secret, flowing along the meridians, converging to the center of his Dantian.

In Lin Dong's Dantian, there were nine Golden Pills. Now, all nine Golden Pills were in Perfection.

At this moment, these energies, directed by Lin Dong's Nine Shift Longevity secret, gathered above the nine Golden Pills.

Preparing to coalesce the tenth Golden Pill!

The energy contained within the Medicine King was terrifyingly immense.

Its energy was comparable to hundreds of ordinary Heavenly and Earthly treasures!

This kind of energy surpassed all the Heavenly and Earthly treasures Lin Dong had absorbed before.

Such vast energy, if not for the special nature of the Nine Shift Longevity secret, could not be converted by him.

But even if converted in his Dantian, the energy was so excessive it almost threatened to explode his Dantian.

Lin Dong quickly activated the 'Dragon Blood Holy Body'.

After activating the Dragon Blood Holy Body, he was able to withstand that energy.

Lin Dong continued refining the medicinal properties of the Medicine King, constantly converting the energy and channeling it into the Dantian.

In the Dantian, the tenth Golden Pill was slowly taking shape.

Yet, as the Golden Pill approached a complete form, the Dantian suddenly dispersed.

Formation failed!

"Boom～～～"

After the Golden Pill dispersed, it was as if a Golden Pill exploded in the Dantian, terrifying energy released instantly inside the Dantian.

Nearly exploding Lin Dong's Dantian!

Fortunately, Lin Dong had already employed the Dragon Blood Holy Body, whose powerful bloodline force not only strengthened his physique by countless times, but also intensified his Dantian by countless times.

This is what allowed his Dantian to withstand.

"Breaking through to the Tenth Stage Grandmaster is indeed not easy." Lin Dong thought to himself.

Yet he wasn't discouraged, continuing to redirect the scattered energies in the Dantian.

He gathered these energies slowly, attempting to condense them again into the form of a Golden Pill.

"Boom～～～"

But not long after, he failed again.

Lin Dong refused to be discouraged.

He continued trying to form the Golden Pill.

However, he kept failing.

Coalescing the tenth Golden Pill was completely different from the previous nine Golden Pills.

He had easily condensed the previous nine Golden Pills. One could say there was no bottleneck at all.

Thus, Lin Dong's breakthrough from the First Stage Grandmaster to the Ninth Stage Grandmaster was a smooth journey.

But coalescing this tenth Golden Pill was continually unsuccessful.

"No wonder a Stage Ten Martial Arts Master is so rare to come across in a thousand years." Lin Dong even began to doubt himself.

He doubted if he could truly form the tenth Golden Pill?

Whether he could really breakthrough to Stage Ten Grandmaster?

But this doubt only stayed in Lin Dong's mind for half a second before he denied it.

If he even doubted himself, then success would be impossible.

Shaking his head, Lin Dong tried once again.

This time, he appeared much more patient than before.

Utilizing the Nine Shift Longevity secret to generate continuous energy, once again trying to condense that energy into the tenth Golden Pill.

"Boom～～"

Yet, it failed again.

"What is the reason for this? Could it be that my method is wrong?" Lin Dong paused temporarily, ceasing to forge that tenth Golden Pill.

Instead, he chose to ponder!

Cultivation shouldn't be rushed. If failure is consistent and one is stuck at a bottleneck, it's better to pause and switch thoughts.

Otherwise, it leads to a dead end. Leading to too much persistence and consequently deviating into evil territory.

In Lin Dong's mind, he recalled the situation from his battle with King Kunlun.

At that time, King Kunlun said something that seemed unintentional.

King Kunlun had said: "Why is it that a Stage Ten Martial Arts Master is so hard to find? Because without destruction, nothing can be created!"

"If you don't destroy to rebuild, holding on to your ways, how can you expect to create something new?"

Lin Dong now began to slowly realize the meaning of this insight.

Was it perhaps necessary to destroy in order to create anew?

Only by burning your bridges, with determination to break through and then establish again, can you truly achieve mastery!"

That's when Lin Dong decided to give it another go.

This time, compared to before, he had much more patience.

Using the understanding he gained from the battle against King Kunlun, Lin Dong began to merge the energy.

With relentless effort, he finally saw the first signs of success.
