Chapter 234: Setting Off for the Alchemy Valley Grand Meeting!

"Uncle Xiao's soul body is too weak; these spiritual medicines are far from enough." After scanning for a while, Yang Tian sighed inwardly. Although fourth-grade spiritual medicines were precious, they had little effect on Yang Xiao.

"Yang Tian, wait a few more days and we'll go to the Alchemy Valley together. Then we can look out for each other." Seeing Yang Tian's somewhat disappointed expression, Meng Yunxi pursed her red lips, her curvaceous figure rising and falling slightly as she curled a strand of hair around her jade-like finger.

"You're going to the Alchemy Valley too?" A flicker of surprise crossed Yang Tian's eyes as he slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Meng Yunxi's charming face.

"Of course. Sister is an alchemist and received an invitation from the Alchemy Valley." Pouting slightly, Meng Yunxi added reluctantly, "In ten days, the Alchemy Valley will hold its auction. There should be things you want there; premium bloodstones can be auctioned off."

"Brother Yang, let's go together. Yun'er will go too." Seeing Yang Tian lost in thought, Yun'er drooped her little head and said pitifully.

"Uh... I'll see when you're about to leave. I still have some matters to attend to; I hope I can make it in time." Scratching his head, Yang Tian gave a wry smile.

"Oh..." Yun'er's crescent-shaped brows furrowed slightly as she let out an 'oh,' looking extremely adorable.

The others took their leave one after another. Yang Tian closed the door, turned, and walked to the bedside, sitting cross-legged. His mind sank into the Ancestral Dragon Ring.

In Yang Tian's hand was a fiery red soul spiritual medicine, emitting a fragrance that stirred the soul. Yang Tian pursed his lips—this was a fourth-grade spiritual medicine, the Soul Flower.

Gazing at Yang Xiao's nearly dissipating soul body, Yang Tian scratched his head and fell silent for a moment.

"This is the only way; I'll give it a try." Staring at the Soul Flower, Yang Tian muttered to himself as he directly summoned his inner dan fire.

A wisp of flame landed on the Soul Flower. The energy fluctuations emanating from the entire plant suddenly surged severalfold. A layer of red membrane wrapped tightly around the spiritual medicine, resisting the burning intensity.

"As expected of a soul spiritual medicine." Seeing this, Yang Tian clicked his tongue. The melting speed was almost imperceptible; turning so many soul spiritual medicines into liquid would not be easy and would consume a great deal of time.

After half an hour, the membrane around the Soul Flower twisted and nearly collapsed. At the base of the plant, a drop of fiery red medicinal juice dripped down.

Chi chi! The liquid dripped onto Yang Xiao's soul body, which rippled like a pool of water.

As soon as a drop of fiery red liquid fell, Yang Xiao's soul body suddenly surged with a wave of energy, absorbing the rich soul liquid.

Seeing this, a smile crept onto Yang Tian's face. But when he noticed that the soul body's brief ripple quickly subsided, his expression turned grim.

"The soul origin is indeed not easy to restore. Besides, Uncle Xiao's soul cultivation is so high; I need to find rare spiritual medicines." Yang Tian sighed and murmured.

After grumbling for a while, Yang Tian continued to melt the Soul Flower's medicinal power. Although the effect on Yang Xiao's recovery was minimal, the dissipation of his soul origin had halted.

Time flew by, passing monotonously. Since the last time he refined the medicinal liquid, Yang Tian had not stopped. He had been in the Ancestral Dragon Ring for over half a month, always staying by Yang Xiao's soul body.

Out of a full twenty spiritual medicines, Yang Tian had successfully refined nineteen. Now, Yang Xiao's soul body was much brighter, and his complexion had gained a hint of ruddiness.

But his aura was still extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow his body away.

"Huh..." Exhaling a breath, Yang Tian's eyes were filled with exhaustion. He pounded his stiff arms, worried whether Yang Ba had successfully crossed his thunder tribulation.

Just as he was pondering, the fifth-grade spiritual medicine before him showed signs of melting. A look of joy flashed across Yang Tian's face. This fifth-grade spiritual medicine was exceptionally hard to melt; he had persisted for a whole day.

A crystalline spiritual medicine emitted a fierce medicinal power. Yang Tian kept inhaling the leaked medicinal fragrance, causing great agitation deep in his soul.

As a drop of crystalline liquid fell, Yang Xiao's body began to emit colors. Divine radiance flowed over his entire body, extremely dazzling.

"It's working!" Sensing a barely noticeable firming in Yang Xiao's soul body, a surge of joy welled up on Yang Tian's face, and the blood energy in his body surged forth.

"Chi chi..." The flames raged fiercely, thunder arcs leaped, and the refining speed of the crystalline herb increased severalfold. Drops of liquid fell, and Yang Xiao's recovery accelerated slightly.

The medicinal fragrance grew richer. Divine light fell upon Yang Xiao's body, and the ruddiness on his face deepened.

Just as Yang Tian was refining, the long-quiet Town Demon City became lively again. Today, thunder tribulation appeared once more in the Falling Cloud Ravine, lasting for half a day.

Yang Xiao had accumulated steadily. After refining the medicinal power of the War King Pill without breaking through, he channeled the energy within into the ancient aura. His internal energy, tempered by a large number of premium bloodstones, was astonishingly dense.

Yang Ba had devoured two fist-sized premium bloodstones in total—a lavish move that even geniuses from sacred grounds would not dare to waste resources so recklessly.

His overall aura had doubled compared to before! Premium bloodstones were extremely rare, and his physical body had undergone tremendous change. Yang Ba was already strong, and with great fortune—after becoming the disciple of the Lord of Slaughter—he lacked no resources.

He had triggered the Wind-Fire Tribulation. With the help of premium bloodstones, Yang Ba's chances of crossing the tribulation were very high.

Town Demon City was abuzz with discussion. A few days ago, the Wind-Fire Tribulation had appeared, and now this rare thunder tribulation had emerged, its might far surpassing the previous one.

Some secretly speculated that a War King was breaking through within, with an extremely terrifying foundation that had triggered the Wind-Fire Tribulation.

This thunder tribulation lasted nearly a full day before heaven and earth returned to normal.

Yang Ba stood in the void, his figure robust, exuding a terrifying aura. Purple blood energy surged skyward, flooding the void.

Above his head, several small blood dragons leaped, awe-inspiring and formidable. When his eyes opened and closed, terrifying purple rays shot forth, causing heaven and earth to rumble as if pierced through.

Before Kun Hu, the space rippled slightly, and Yang Ba's body instantly appeared before them, extremely eerie. War Emperor-level experts could grasp the void, and some great beings could even teleport, possessing vast divine powers.

In the Ancestral Dragon Ring, the crystalline divine light in the void slowly dissipated. This state continued for half a day until the spiritual medicine in the void was completely consumed.

The divine radiance on Yang Xiao's body gradually receded, the aged look on his face diminished slightly, and the energy fluctuations within him gained a bit of power.

"It seems only fifth-grade spiritual medicines are effective, but the quantity needed should be considerable." Wiping the sweat from his brow, Yang Tian's aura was very weak as he muttered to himself.

Fifth-grade soul spiritual medicines were extremely rare in the Eastern Continent. Often, when one appeared, it would be snatched up by major powers. Such soul spiritual medicines were too scarce and grew only in special environments.

Yang Tian fell silent for a moment, then entered a cultivation state to restore the blood energy in his qi sea.

The unusual phenomenon in the Falling Cloud Ravine did not attract the attention of major powers. By now, many people had already set out for the Alchemy Valley, preparing to attend the rare grand meeting. Various superpowers were also ready to poach talents.

Yang Ba came alone to Town Demon City. His appearance had changed drastically, and his entire aura had transformed. However, the trace of blood energy that leaked out made many people regard him with awe.

Yang Ba went directly to the Vientiane Auction House, presented the token Yang Tian had given him, and under the guard's guidance, strode toward Yang Tian's room.

Inside the room, Yang Tian's long-closed eyes slowly opened. Hearing the knock on the door, he stood up and walked toward it.

Sensing the person outside, Yang Tian was startled. Then, seeing the mysterious man wink, Yang Tian scratched his head and quickly welcomed him in.

"Big brother, have you broken through?" Noticing the aura leaking from Yang Ba, Yang Tian rubbed his hands and couldn't help clicking his tongue.

"Heh, I broke through just yesterday." At this, Yang Ba nodded, a smile appearing on his face. With his current strength, he could hold his own against an ordinary fifth-grade War Emperor.

"Good. Then let's set off for the Alchemy Valley soon!"
