Chapter 1027: The Step of Mystic Penetration!

"Trying to run?"

A faint smile flickered across Ye Yuan's lips, and his figure suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, he had already caught that golden light in his hand.

When he returned, a group of people immediately crowded around him, their faces full of curiosity.

"Milord, this pill is truly miraculous—it actually tried to escape!" Jiang Taicang said with the look of a curious child.

"Master, what grade is this Nine True Pill? Won't you let us see it?" Xiao Ruyan asked curiously.

Even old monsters like Ao Qian couldn't suppress their curiosity, craning their necks as far as they could.

Ye Yuan smiled and casually placed several restrictions on it, ensuring the pill could no longer escape.

He slowly opened his hand, and suddenly a brilliant golden light shone forth.

"Ouch, it's blinding me!" Jiang Taicang howled.

This fellow was, after all, a thief at heart and the most mischievous of the four. But the dazzling golden light truly stung his eyes.

"This pill doesn't even have the slightest medicinal fragrance; it seems the medicinal energy is condensed without dispersing. But... its grade is simply impossible to judge! It doesn't seem... to be super-grade?" Ao Qian said doubtfully.

The grade of a pill could usually be judged from its appearance and the energy fluctuations it emitted.

But this Nine True Pill before them revealed no hint of its depth.

Yet there was no doubt that the pill's grade was extremely high, and its medicinal effects were likely unimaginable.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of Mystic Penetration?"

Ao Qian's body trembled upon hearing this, and he said in disbelief, "Are you saying... that... this Nine True Pill is actually the legendary Step of Mystic Penetration?"

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Above super-grade lies Mystic Penetration!"

Ao Qian suddenly realized, "Of course, of course, I should have thought of that! This thing tried to escape on its own—if it's not Mystic Penetration, what else could it be?"

"Hey, Old Ao, what is Mystic Penetration?" Jiang Taicang asked impatiently from the side.

Ordinary people had never heard of the Step of Mystic Penetration, because in the last hundred thousand years, no one had ever been able to refine a pill of that grade!

Ao Qian took a deep breath and said, "In fact, above super-grade pills, there is an even higher grade—the Step of Mystic Penetration! But with the decline of the Divine Path, no one has been able to refine pills of the Mystic Penetration grade!"

Jiang Taicang was completely confused and asked, "This is only a ninth-grade pill; what does it have to do with the Divine Path?"

"Of course it does! Because... pills of the Mystic Penetration grade can only be refined by Divine Path experts! In other words, only when a Divine Path expert refines pills below the ninth grade can they reach the Step of Mystic Penetration!" Ao Qian looked at Ye Yuan as if he had seen a ghost, thinking this guy was simply too monstrous.

"Hiss..." Everyone drew in a cold breath, shocked by Ao Qian's words.

A pill that only a Divine Path expert could refine had been produced by a初级 Dan Emperor?

"Then... then... what exactly are the medicinal effects of this pill?" Ruan Shuangzhou swallowed his saliva and asked.

Before this, Ruan Shuangzhou had never imagined that he would have such an unsteady day.

Now he was full of anticipation for this Mystic Penetration-grade Nine True Pill.

"That's hard to say! But one thing is certain: the medicinal effects of the Mystic Penetration grade are far, far stronger than those of the super-grade. Moreover, it is said that pills of the Mystic Penetration grade often have unexpected additional effects. As for what those effects are, it's hard to tell," Ao Qian said.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Why not try it and find out?"

With that, he directly tossed the pill to Ruan Shuangzhou.

The others looked on with envy—this was a Mystic Penetration-grade pill!

Perhaps in the last hundred thousand years, this was the only one.

The only one in a hundred thousand years!

Ruan Shuangzhou himself couldn't believe it—such a windfall had actually landed on him.

"Gulp..."

Ruan Shuangzhou swallowed ungracefully, but he hesitated to take the pill.

"Oh, come on, just eat it already! Do you want to drive us crazy? You know, this is the only one in a hundred thousand years! You've really hit the jackpot!" Jiang Taicang couldn't stand it and said.

Part of his impatience was genuine, and the other part was envy.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don't need to envy Shuangzhou. This time, refining the Nine True Pill has deepened my understanding of the Dao of Alchemy. I think the next time I refine it, the grade shouldn't be any worse than this."

Ye Yuan's strength lay in his extremely solid foundation, which gave him a terrifyingly high success rate in alchemy.

With this alchemy session, Ye Yuan finally gained a glimmer of insight into the Divine Path laws within the Medicine Soul Divine Canon, which was a great advancement for his Dao of Alchemy!

However, this refining also made him realize the profoundness of the Divine Path laws. What he had comprehended was only a tiny fraction.

Yet even that tiny fraction had already benefited him greatly.

But it also made Ye Yuan realize that his path in alchemy had only just begun!

Ye Yuan's words immediately lifted the spirits of Ao Qian and the others.

Indeed, given Ye Yuan's alchemical strength, once he touched upon the Divine Path laws, the pills he refined next might be even more powerful.

With that thought, Ao Qian and the others became even more eager to see the effects of this Mystic Penetration-grade Nine True Pill.

"Then... then... I'll take it?" Ruan Shuangzhou asked hesitantly.

"Oh, just eat it already!" Jiang Taicang wished he could slap him.

In front of everyone, Ruan Shuangzhou swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Instantly, his abdomen felt as if it were burning. A powerful, unmatched heat surged through his limbs and bones, making him almost cry out in pleasure.

Ruan Shuangzhou's aura was visibly rising.

Seeing this, Ao Qian and the others widened their eyes.

Was the medicinal effect really this strong?

"The Nine True Pill is just an ordinary top-grade ninth-level pill. With an ordinary Nine True Pill, the improvement for a martial artist would end here, right? But this pill seems to have only just begun!" Ao Qian exclaimed in surprise.

"Tsk tsk, this kid Ruan Shuangzhou is really lucky! A Mystic Penetration-grade pill—even ordinary Divine Kings couldn't dream of it!" Jiang Taicang clicked his tongue in admiration.

At the Divine King realm, even a slight improvement was extremely difficult. But this Mystic Penetration-grade Nine True Pill had directly sent Ruan Shuangzhou into the ranks of top-tier Divine Kings!

Moreover, his aura was still rising.

...

Three days later, Ruan Shuangzhou finally slowly opened his eyes, and beams of light shot from his pupils.

"Kid, how is it, how is it? Breaking through to top-tier Divine King feels pretty good, doesn't it?" Jiang Taicang asked eagerly.

Ruan Shuangzhou took a deep breath and smiled, "Indescribably good!"

With that, Ruan Shuangzhou slowly rose and came before Ye Yuan, bowing deeply. "From now on, I, Ruan Shuangzhou, swear to follow the young master to the death!"
