Chapter 136: The Magic Pill is Complete, Thunder Tribulation Occurs

Naturally, refining elixirs cannot be done in the wilderness.

Doctor Wang directly activated the mountain protection formation, covering the mountains and rivers within a radius of dozens of miles near the thatched cottage.

Then he took Li Zhi to a more secluded cave.

Looking at the ancient carvings and some very old murals in the cave, Li Zhi asked: "Senior Wang, is this the place where Tianxuan Holy Land made elixirs in the past?"

Divine Doctor Wang nodded and said, "Yes, this was once one of the three Divine Fire Rooms of Tianxuan Holy Land. After the Tianxuan Holy Land failed to attack the Ancient Forbidden Area, this place was looted. It took me decades to clean and repair it before this Divine Fire Alchemy Room could see the light of day again. It is most suitable for refining divine pills."

He chose to live in seclusion near the ruins of the Tianxuan Holy Land. In addition to the convenience of entering the primitive wilderness to pick spiritual herbs, the divine fire room that once belonged to the holy land was also a big part of the reason.

To refine ordinary elixirs, any place will do.

However, in order to refine the magic pill, one needs to consider the influence of various factors in order to ensure the success rate.

After all, the medicinal materials that can be used to refine magic pills are extremely precious elixirs, and wasting even a bit of their medicinal power is a crime.

The two soon arrived at a place thousands of meters underground, where there was a fire pool as big as a wellhead. Around the fire pool, densely packed Taoist patterns were carved.

After the visit, Li Zhi felt that the layout was somewhat similar to the weapon training room in the ancient Yao Chi site.

However, the sizes of the fire pools vary greatly.

Judging from the relatively new layout around it, it should have been rebuilt by Doctor Wang himself later.

Afterwards, Doctor Wang took out an ancient copper alchemy furnace, which turned out to be a king's magic weapon.

Moreover, there was a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from the furnace, as if many magical pills had been refined in this furnace.

"The last time I used this furnace to refine a magic pill was three hundred years ago, when I accidentally obtained a 30,000-year-old elixir. Since the ancient times, the environment of the world has become increasingly harsh. Except for a few extremely dangerous areas, in the vast wilderness, there are fewer and fewer elixirs that are more than ten thousand years old." Doctor Wang sighed as he prepared the furnace.

Li Zhi also said: "I don't know whether this change is good or bad."

Afterwards, Li Zhi's guardian general appeared in the alchemy room. Wanting to remove the Netherworld power in the Netherworld Grass, Li Zhi needed her as a medium to operate the Transformation of the God Palm, refine the Netherworld energy in the Netherworld Grass, and separate it using the method taught by Duan De.

After seeing Li Zhi's guards, Doctor Wang was not surprised at all, but just a little curious.

But he didn't ask.

After spending seven days processing the three Nether Grasses, Li Zhi began to cooperate with Doctor Wang to refine the magic pill.

In the outside world, Ji Biyue, who came from the Ji family, looked at the area sealed by the formation in front of her, feeling a little anxious.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to have an in-depth exchange with Li Zhi.

But no one expected that Doctor Wang’s residence was actually sealed by a large formation.

After wandering outside the formation for a long time, Ji Biyue decided to leave.

But before leaving, she suddenly felt someone was following her, and then she flew towards the ruins of the Tianxuan Holy Land.

An incense stick later, Ji Biyue stopped on a hill dotted with abandoned buildings.

Then he shouted behind him, "Come out. You have been following me all the way in secret. What do you want to do?"

"Sister Biyue, haven't you seen Li Zhi?" Ji Ziyue walked out of the void with a smile on her face and shouted to Ji Biyue very enthusiastically.

"Ji Ziyue, why is it you?" Ji Biyue's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

As her cultivation improved, the gap between her and Ji Ziyue gradually widened. This gap in physique made her feel desperate.

Moreover, Ji Biyue also heard that it would not be long before the Ji family would send Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue to the Qi Shi Mansion in Zhongzhou to study and communicate with the geniuses from the five regions.

However, Ji Biyue was devastated because she was not qualified to be selected into the House of Extraordinary Scholars.

"Sister Biyue, you don't seem to welcome me." As if feeling a strong sense of rejection from Ji Biyue, Ji Ziyue also put away her playful smile.

"I came here to complete the task assigned by the Holy Lord. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be practicing well at home now? Don't go to Zhongzhou and embarrass our Ji family." Ji Biyue seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ji Ziyue's attitude towards practice.

"I'm here to visit a friend. Li Zhi and I are good friends. Sister Biyue, you seem to be paying too much attention to Li Zhi." Ji Ziyue said with a smile. It seems that she didn't notice the jealousy emanating from Ji Biyue.

"Hmph, visiting a friend? You have a unclear relationship with the Holy Body, and you let him kill Grandfather Ji Hui. Do you want to find another friend to kill our Ji family's direct disciples?" Ji Biyue said to Ji Ziyue with some disgust, staring at him.

She really wanted to slap Ji Ziyue to death with one palm, but now she was no match for Ji Ziyue.

When facing Ji Ziyue, I can only satisfy my desire with my mouth.

"Sister Biyue, what do you mean by this?" Ji Ziyue's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"You know what I'm talking about. You committed such a great sin by passing on the secret techniques in the Void Sutra, but you don't repent. If I were you, I would have committed suicide in front of our ancestors long ago. How can you still have the nerve to embarrass yourself everywhere?"

Ji Biyue's words were very poisonous and directly hit Ji Ziyue's soft spot.

As a direct disciple of the Ji family, he secretly passed on the secret techniques in the "Void Sutra" to others, and did not receive any punishment from the family afterwards. This had already made some ordinary disciples of the Ji family dissatisfied.

Now, Ji Biyue was just representing the ordinary disciples of the Ji family to make the matter clear in front of Ji Ziyue.

This made Ji Ziyue feel extremely aggrieved.

"What? You dare not take responsibility for what you did? Just because you leaked the secret method in the "Void Sutra", so many family disciples were killed by the Holy Body. Don't you regret it until now? Ji Ziyue, are you still a member of my Ji family?" Seeing that Ji Ziyue was becoming depressed, Ji Biyue took advantage of the situation and questioned loudly.

"You" Ji Ziyue's face turned blue with anger, and she pointed at Ji Biyue and wanted to say something.

But Ji Biyue interrupted her and said with a mocking look on her face: "Ji Ziyue, you enjoy the benefits brought by the family while you are flirting with outsiders behind the family's back. Don't you have shame? You are hypocritical, disloyal and unfilial. How can you have the face to be a disciple of the Ji family?"

Ji Ziyue's tears welled up in her eyes after hearing Ji Biyue's words. She seemed very sad, but she managed to hold back her tears with great difficulty.

"How outrageous!" Just when Ji Biyue was about to continue spitting on Ji Ziyue, an angry roar suddenly came from the sky.

Ji Haoyue, who seemed like a god king, flew quickly from a distance, then stepped on the void and pressed towards Ji Biyue step by step. There was a hint of murderous intent on his body, as if he wanted to launch a thundering attack on Ji Biyue.

"Ji Haoyue, do you want to kill me? Just because your sister did something wrong, as a direct disciple of the Ji family, I have no right to say anything? Or have you and your brother ignored the clan rules of our Ji family?" At this time, there was a huge gap in realm between Ji Biyue and Ji Haoyue, and she was far from being Ji Haoyue's opponent, but she said without showing any weakness.

"Ji Biyue, if anything happens to my sister, I will not let you go." Although Ji Haoyue wanted to kill Ji Biyue right now, not a word Ji Biyue said was nonsense, as that incident was indeed caused by Ji Ziyue.

After saying these harsh words, Ji Haoyue pulled Ji Ziyue away.

Watching the brother and sister leave, Ji Biyue heaved a sigh of relief and thought to herself, "Ji Haoyue, Ji Ziyue, you brothers and sisters just wait for me. One day, I will surpass you. The Ji family must not be handed over to ungrateful people like you."

Afterwards, Ji Biyue returned to the outskirts of Doctor Wang’s thatched cottage and waited for the formation to be activated.

On the other side, Ji Ziyue cried bitterly and said, "Brother Haoyue, did I really do something wrong?"

Ji Haoyue's eyes flashed with pity, and then he said: "You did nothing wrong. Saint Body Ye Fan has extraordinary talent. You can befriend him, which is to win over a powerful foreign aid for the family. Don't listen to Ji Biyue's lies. In this world, strength is the key. No matter how many ordinary cultivators there are, they are not as valuable as a real strong man. She said that about you, but she was jealous that your talent was higher than hers. It was to make your Tao heart collapse and your cultivation stagnate from then on."

After listening to Ji Haoyue's analysis, Ji Ziyue nodded and said, "I won't do as she wishes. Brother Haoyue, let's go home. I want to retreat."

Afterwards, the brother and sister returned to the Ji family in the Southern Region.

On the other side, Ji Biyue, who was guarding outside the formation of Doctor Wang’s thatched cottage, had not left.

A month later, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance drifting out through the barrier. Her heart was shocked and she even felt like she was ascending to heaven.

Then she saw an amazing scene of fairies dancing, unicorns offering auspiciousness, and dragons and phoenixes singing in harmony suddenly appearing above a sacred mountain within the barrier.

Soon, the flying fairy painting was replaced by a thick dark cloud.

The lightning and thunder seemed to be trying to prevent the emergence of a peerless evildoer.

Just as Ji Biyue was staring at the sacred mountain with her mouth wide open in shock, suddenly a young Taoist priest riding a huge alchemy furnace more than ten feet high flew from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

After placing the alchemy furnace on the top of the mountain, the young Taoist priest stood directly on the furnace cover, as if he was going to bear the heavenly calamity for the divine elixir in the furnace.

Doctor Wang, who had come out of the mountain, also removed the mountain protection formation in due time. Then, he looked at the little Taoist priest on the top of the mountain with a worried look on his face.

Upon seeing this, Ji Biyue quickly took out the token given to her by the Holy Lord of the Ji Family and walked over.

"Ji family, Ji Biyue pays homage to the senior genius doctor." Ji Biyue said respectfully to the genius doctor Wang.

"Little girl from the Ji family, what are you doing here here?" Doctor Wang frowned as he looked at Ji Biyue.

"The Holy Lord is worried that Taoist Changshou will be disturbed by worldly affairs, so he specially sent Biyue to handle some trivial matters in life for the Taoist." Ji Biyue said.

Looking at the graceful and elegant Ji Biyue, Divine Doctor Wang seemed to understand what the Holy Master of the Ji Family meant, so he nodded and said, "You stay here for now."

"Thank you, Senior Divine Doctor." Ji Biyue hurriedly thanked him, and then asked, "Excuse me, Senior, what is Taoist Changshou doing? Why did the heavenly calamity appear?"

Doctor Wang's eyes suddenly showed a hint of excitement, and he said, "That is the peerless divine elixir that he and I refined together. The elixir is so powerful that the heaven and earth have to send down a catastrophe to test it."

"Could it be that Taoist Changshou wants to help the divine elixir pass the tribulation?" Ji Biyue said with a hint of shock in her eyes.

"Originally, I should have been the one to block the calamity for those magic pills, but my confidence in surviving the calamity is not as strong as my confidence in longevity, so I asked him to do it instead." Doctor Wang explained.

The difficulty of the thunder tribulation will be adjusted according to the cultivation level of the person who is taking over the tribulation.

Given the incredible power of the magic pills, Doctor Wang was indeed not sure if he could help them survive the thunder tribulation.

Under the gaze of Doctor Wang and Ji Biyue, thousands of lightning bolts struck towards the alchemy furnace, and Li Zhi sat on the furnace, like a thunder absorber, and began to devour those thunders frantically.

Seeing the intensity of the thunder, Ji Biyue was so shocked that she lost her voice. It seemed to have exceeded the intensity of thunder tribulation that ordinary cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm could withstand.

Doctor Wang exclaimed in amazement: "What a strong body, it is almost beyond the great power."

The thunderbolt lasted for thirty-six waves before gradually dissipating.

Li Zhi had turned into a little monster, but there were no obvious wounds on his body. He was just emitting purple electric light continuously.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of Doctor Wang and Ji Biyue, Li Zhi poured the refined and no longer violent thunder power in his body directly into the alchemy furnace.

In an instant, a strong purple light burst out from the alchemy furnace.

Faint roars and explosions could be heard from the furnace.

Doctor Wang showed a look of regret on his face, and his hands would tremble every time he heard an explosion.

Seeing this, Ji Biyue asked, "What is Senior Divine Doctor doing? Is he going to destroy the furnace of divine pills?"

Divine Doctor Wang took a deep breath, suppressed all the pain in his heart, and said, "This is the last step that must be experienced in refining the divine pill, the heavenly thunder washing the pill. Let's go and take a look."

Then, the two flew to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the roar in the furnace was getting smaller and smaller.

When Li Zhi saw Doctor Wang, he immediately smiled happily and said, "Senior, I am glad that you have fulfilled your mission."

Ji Biyue looked at Li Zhi, whose body was already burnt black, and asked, "Changshou, what kind of divine elixir is being refined here that you are asked to take the place of Jie."

Li Zhi then saw Ji Biyue and said, "Ji Biyue, why are you here?"

Ji Biyue gave Li Zhi a charming look and said, "You have been a guest in my Ji family for half a year, but you didn't even inform me. If the Holy Lord hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were a guest in my Ji family."

Li Zhi touched his nose and said, "Next time, when I visit your Ji family, I will definitely inform you in advance."

Ji Biyue looked at the burnt marks on Li Zhi's face, took out a handkerchief, and started to wipe it for him.

It gave Li Zhi a strange feeling.

Doctor Wang just glanced at them and no longer paid attention to Ji Biyue and Li Zhi.

"Let me do it myself." Li Zhi said, feeling that it was a bit weird to have Ji Biyue wipe his face.

"What? You think I can't serve others?" Ji Biyue straightened her chest, a hint of anger on her face.

Li Zhi was stunned by what he saw.

"My dear Changshou, don't say anything now. You should let this girl from the Ji family wipe it for you. Don't waste her kindness." Doctor Wang suddenly sent a message to Li Zhi, and his tone seemed very strange.

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhi yelled in his heart, "No way, this Ji Biyue is not interested in me. Damn, is it really that outrageous?"

Afterwards, Li Zhi said to Ji Biyue, "How dare I trouble Miss Biyue? I'll deal with the stains on my body later. Let's open the furnace first and see how many pills are made."

Upon seeing this, Divine Doctor Wang said, "My dear Changshou, you provided the magic medicine, so you should start the furnace. I will guard the surroundings to prevent the magic pill from escaping."

Li Zhi nodded, then cast a series of spells, and finally shouted: "Open!"

"Buzz!" After the alchemy furnace trembled slightly, the lid of the furnace opened immediately.

Then twelve streams of light flew out of the furnace, as if trying to escape from their control.

Doctor Wang and Li Zhi took action immediately, both opened their huge hands to grab those flowing lights.

After a moment, all the twelve streams of light were thrown back into the alchemy furnace.

It seemed that after being caught, those psychic magic pills also became obedient.

Looking at the twelve longan-sized magical pills emitting purple energy floating in the furnace, Li Zhi and Doctor Wang both smiled.

Afterwards, Li Zhi waved his hand and sealed all the magic pills into the jade box.

Doctor Wang also reached into the furnace and pulled out a large mass of medicine residue.

But with a slight shake of his hand, twenty-four pills with slightly dim light appeared in the medicine residue.

Nine of the pills were intact, but the remaining fifteen pills had a faint medicinal fragrance and weak spiritual power, and seemed to have become waste pills.

Looking at the twenty-four inferior pills in his hand, Divine Doctor Wang said, "Although the medicinal properties of these fifteen pills are insufficient and almost useless, they can still allow the cultivators in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm to condense their spiritual consciousness in advance. And these nine complete pills are enough to enhance the Yuan Shen of the cultivators in the Four Extremes Secret Realm by 30%."

As for the twelve magic pills in Li Zhi's hand, any one of them can double the power of a powerful person's soul.

Then, Li Zhi took out a magic pill, handed it to Doctor Wang and said, "Senior, this is yours."

Doctor Wang refused directly, "No, I just put in some effort. You provided all the materials. How can I accept such an expensive elixir?"

Li Zhi said, "Senior, you are too polite. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to make these twelve magic pills."

Doctor Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I won't refuse."

Seeing Doctor Wang take the magic pill, Li Zhi said, "Senior, please sell all these useless pills."

Upon seeing this, Ji Biyue immediately said, "My Ji family is willing to pay a high price to purchase these pills."

Doctor Wang once again sent a message to Li Zhi: "My dear Changshou, why don't you show your loyalty at this time? Listen to me. If you give her a magic pill now, you will definitely be able to win her heart."

"Senior, we are not in that kind of relationship." Li Zhi quickly denied it through voice transmission.

"I understand." Doctor Wang handed all the inferior pills to Li Zhi and said, "I have used up too much energy and need to rest for a while. Young friend Changshou, you can greet this girl from the Ji family."

Afterwards, he put away the alchemy furnace and turned into a stream of light and flew away.

Li Zhi and Ji Biyue were left on the top of the mountain.

"Well, Miss Biyue, you haven't eaten yet. I'd like to invite you to dinner." Li Zhi said, feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Ji Biyue burst out laughing and said, "You should go wash up first. You don't look like a Taoist master at all."
