Chapter 1977: Xuantian Yiqi Pill

"Alas, all my efforts were in vain! That damned Liu Yi, next time I see him, I'll make him pay!" Song Yu said, looking dejected.

The Xuantian Yiqi Fruit was an extremely rare heavenly spiritual fruit that could save a lot of cultivation time, which was crucial for martial artists.

The others also looked indignant, clearly feeling frustrated.

"Alas, let's go. I hope I never run into him again!" Guo Jingyang said.

Everyone turned to leave, but Ye Yuan suddenly said, "Hold on."

"Hmm? Brother Ye, is there something else?" Song Yu asked in confusion.

Ye Yuan didn't speak. Instead, he walked over to the Xuantian Yiqi Fruit plant, crouched down, and carefully dug away the soil, revealing the plant's roots.

Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what Ye Yuan intended to do.

Ye Yuan cleared the soil from the roots, pulled out the entire plant, and said with a smile, "Although the Xuantian Yiqi Fruit is gone, the roots are also a good thing."

"Roots? What use are roots?" Song Yu asked, confused.

Ye Yuan said, "The Xuantian Yiqi Fruit is too heaven-defying and cannot be fused with other spiritual herbs to form a pill. However, the roots of the Xuantian Yiqi Fruit plant are the main ingredient for refining the Xuantian Yiqi Pill. Although the Xuantian Yiqi Pill is not as effective as the Xuantian Yiqi Fruit, it can still greatly enhance the user's strength."

Upon hearing this, the four of them were overjoyed.

Ye Yuan was a master alchemist; since he said such a thing, it naturally meant he was somewhat confident.

"There's actually such a thing as the Xuantian Yiqi Pill? That's great!" Ma Chang exclaimed happily.

However, Song Yu suddenly frowned and said, "But in a place like this, where can we gather the other spiritual herbs?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I happen to have all the other spiritual herbs on me. I was only missing this one main ingredient. Now, I can refine it."

With that, Ye Yuan summoned the Xuanlong Cauldron, and one by one, spiritual herbs appeared and were thrown into the cauldron.

Song Yu and the others were startled at the sight.

How could Ye Yuan be carrying so many spiritual medicines on him?

Did he have the power of foresight, knowing that he would encounter the Profound Sky Unity Fruit this time?

After all, sixth-grade spiritual medicines were not cabbages on the street; even a long-established Six-Star Divine Alchemist could not carry so many medicines around.

Song Yu and the others were well-traveled and knew that these auxiliary medicines were extremely rare spiritual herbs.

They did not know that Ye Yuan was the Chief Grand Elder of the Star Pavilion, and these medicines meant little to him.

Fortunately, the other main and auxiliary ingredients needed for the Profound Sky Unity Pill were not too rare, and Ye Yuan happened to have them all on him.

Now, Ye Yuan not only possessed the legacy of the Immortal Forest Heavenly Lord but also the powerful inheritance of the Holy Ancestor High Priest.

He had mastered a great many obscure pill formulas.

The Profound Sky Unity Pill was one of them.

Alchemizing on the spot, a mysterious and unfathomable law of force spread around the cauldron.

They all knew Ye Yuan was a grandmaster of alchemy, but watching him refine pills up close still shocked these favored children of heaven.

Their families and the Imperial Capital lacked no Six-Star Divine Alchemists.

But the Six-Star Divine Alchemists they had seen could not even hold a candle to Ye Yuan!

This gap was palpable even to laymen like them.

A refreshing fragrance of medicine spread, and Song Yu and the others could not suppress their inner ecstasy.

The Profound Sky Unity Pill was complete!

Brother Song, this is yours.

Ye Yuan waved his hand, and the pill flew directly toward Song Yu.

Song Yu took the pill and looked at it, then couldn't help but gasp, "This, this, this... the Haoling Divine Pill!"

Now he finally understood why Ye Yuan, with merely the cultivation of the first level of the True God realm, was so highly esteemed by the entire Jiyun Emperor.

Such alchemical skill was simply beyond imagination!

Guo Jingyang and the others, upon hearing the words "Haoling Divine Pill," were all struck speechless with shock.

Ye Yuan nodded and said to the others, "You keep watch for Brother Song; I'll continue refining pills."

The roots of the Profound Sky Unity Fruit were many, enough to refine five or six portions of Profound Sky Unity Pill, so naturally everyone would get a share.

A few hours later, Guo Jingyang and the other two each received a Profound Sky Unity Pill, their faces flushed with excitement.

Though each of them was a favored son of destiny and a child of heaven, this Haoling Divine Pill was the first time they had taken it in their lives.

And such an incredible Profound Sky Unity Pill at that!

Just then, Song Yu's aura suddenly changed, and he directly broke through the bottleneck of the fourth level of the True God realm.

Seeing this, the three showed expressions of wild joy.

Originally, Song Yu was only at the early stage of the third level of the True God realm, but after taking just one pill, he directly broke through to the fourth level.

This pill was heaven-defying!

"Incredible! Incredible! The effect of this Profound Sky Unity Pill is not much worse than that of the Profound Sky Unity Fruit itself!" Hu Fei exclaimed in amazement.

"Brother Ye, I, Guo Jingyang, have never admired anyone in my life, but today I am utterly impressed by you!" Guo Jingyang praised.

At this moment, Song Yu succeeded in his breakthrough, his face unable to conceal his ecstasy.

He really hadn't expected that this Profound Sky Unity Pill could directly allow him to break through to the fourth level of the True God realm!

In the True God realm, each minor level had a vast gap; ordinary pills that could make up for a thousandth of the cultivation time were already remarkable.

But this Profound Sky Unity Pill had directly allowed him to cross the major bottleneck between the early and middle stages of the True God realm—how could he not be overjoyed?

He bowed deeply to Ye Yuan and said sincerely, "Brother Ye, everything before was my fault, Song Yu's utter foolishness. I hope you won't hold it against me. From now on, we are sworn brothers for life!"

Now, he truly regretted what he had done before.

If it had been anyone else, even if they had swallowed all the plants of the Profound Sky Unity Fruit, they would have had no complaint.

But Ye Yuan had even contributed his own spiritual herbs to help them refine such a heaven-defying Profound Sky Unity Pill.

Returning good for evil—how could he not be moved?

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Hehe, Brother Song, don't stand on ceremony. Aren't we already brothers?"

These words moved everyone deeply.

Along the way, Ye Yuan had distributed treasures, rescued Hu Fei, resisted powerful enemies, and had long become their pillar of strength.

By now, they had truly regarded Ye Yuan as a sworn brother.

Next, Song Yu and Ye Yuan kept watch while the others each refined the pill and broke through.

The effect of this Profound Sky Unity Pill was extremely heaven-defying.

Hu Fei had the weakest cultivation, only at the early stage of the second level of the True God realm.

After taking the pill, he directly broke through to the late stage of the third level of the True God realm, crossing more than an entire minor realm.

As for Guo Jingyang and Ma Chang, they directly broke through to the peak of the third level of the True God realm.

And they could feel that the fourth level of the True God realm was not far off.

Finally, it was Ye Yuan's turn to refine the pill.

The other four each had one pill, and Ye Yuan still had two Profound Sky Unity Pills in his hand.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan swallowed both pills directly.
