For several days in a row, Nie Li, Lu Piao, Gu Bei, and Li Xingyun beat their gongs and drums as they put things in order. Long Tianming and his crew continued to pressure them, chasing after the Demon, Heavenly Path, and Profound Note Leagues. As for Nie Li and them, how could they idly sit by without retaliating?
In a room, in a certain courtyard
Long Yuyin, Gu Bei, Li Xingyun and the rest were all gathered.
âNie Li, what are you doing?â Lu Piao couldnât help asking in confusion.
These past few days, Nie Li had been gathering massive quantities of herbs, as well as an enormous cauldron. He seemed to be preparing to refine something.
Nie Li showed a mysterious smile and said, âIâm getty ready to refine an elixir. Later, Iâll show you its effects!â
âElixir? What kind of elixir?â Curiosity was written all over everyoneâs faces.
Long Yuyin also blinked in curiosity. After learning of Nie Liâs true identity just a short time ago, sheâd been in deep confusion. She spent a long time mulling over the facts, before she finally reached a conclusion that put her at ease. It didnât matter if Nie Li was someone from a hundred years in the future; that was Nie Liâs past. She loved Nie Li for who he was right now, and that was enough for her!
Nie Li brought out a Divine Phaseless Fruit and a Frost Steel Divine Needle, used the needle to scrape off a tiny piece of the fruit, and placed the scrap into a bottle.
âThis bottle contains Rootless Water. You should first mix the contents of the bottle, then divide it among a hundred bottles. Mix them again, and split each bottle into a hundred more!â Nie Li explained as he tidied up the other herbs.
Li Xingyun and the rest roughly understood Nie Liâs intentions. Nie Li wanted them to dilute the essence of that tiny piece of fruit into ten thousand bottles!
Lu Piao couldnât help crying out in confusion. âWhat kind of spiritual fruit is this? Even a magic elixir or formidable medicine would lose its effects after being diluted ten thousand times!â
âYeah! Thatâs diluting it ten thousand times!â Gu Bei also couldnât help speaking up as well.
However, Nie Li only smiled. âYouâve never seen a Divine Phaseless Fruit before, so you donât know how to use it. Thatâs why youâd say such things!â
âDivine Phaseless Fruit? Iâve never heard of it before!â Li Xingyun blanked. âWhat kind of magic elixir or formidable medicine is that? Will it still be effective after being diluted ten thousand times?â
âThe words âmagic elixirâ and âformidable medicineâ arenât nearly enough to describe the Divine Phaseless Fruit. Thereâs a reason I used a Frost Steel Divine Needle to scrape off a tiny bit of it. If a Martial Ancestor Realm expert consumed this fruit, their body would immediately rupture and theyâd die from the powerful medicinal effects of this fruit!â Nie Li laughed.
Everyoneâs expressions changed. âItâs that powerful? Youâre not exaggerating, right?â
Even Martial Ancestor Realm⌠just what kind of powerful existence was that? Having your body rupture just from eating a little bit⌠that was simply too unbelievable!
âHave I lied to you before?â Nie Li asked with a smile. This Divine Phaseless Fruit was from Emperor Tian Yuanâs collection. Its medicinal effects would be unimaginable, even to a Martial Ancestor Realm expert! âEven if we dilute it ten thousand times, its medicinal effect will still be too strong for our bodies. A drop of that would still rupture our bodies!â
âThen what are you going to do?â Li Xingyun couldnât help asking, with inevitable shock in his heart.
âIâm preparing over ten different methods to further weaken its potency after diluting it ten thousand times. After that, Iâll refine it into an elixir!â Nie Li explained. âThe medicinal effects of the fully refined elixir will definitely be astounding!â
âI wonder if that elixir can help us reach the pinnacle of the Heavenly Axis Realm!â
âForget the pinnacle Heavenly Axis Realm, you could even reach the Dao of Dragon Realm without problems!â Nie Li confidently replied.
The Dao of Dragon Realm?
Everyone widened their eyes. Breaking through into Dao of Dragon Realm? How could anyone say that so easily?
Long Yuyin thought for a bit, then said, âIn that case, it should be able to help me break through to the pinnacle of the Dao of Dragon Realm. Our Dragonseal Family is going to select its successor soon. If I can reach the pinnacle of the Dao of Dragon Realm, Iâll have absolute confidence in my position. When that happens, even the Patriarch, himself, wonât be able to keep me away!â
Long Yuyin had been gone from the Skysoul Institute for a while. Upon her return, sheâd shocked Li Xingyun and the rest with her cultivation. It was far above anything they themselves could compare to! They had no idea how Long Yuyin couldâve done it!
Nie Li thought for a moment, then replied, âOne might not be enough, but two definitely will! This elixir will also cause huge changes to your physiques! However, each elixir requires at least three days to be fully absorbed!â
Li Xingyun, Gu Bei, and Lu Piao stared at Nie Li.
Its medicinal powers were that strong?
Compared to the possibility of reaching the Dao of Dragon Realm, what was three days anyways?
Most people needed several years, or perhaps even decades to go from the Heavenly Axis to the Dao of Dragon Realm!
This elixir was a little too heaven-defying, right?
As far as Nie Li was concerned, this was absolutely normal. To existences like Emperor Tian Yuan, any Dao of Dragon Realm would be nothing more than an ant. Whatâs wrong with breaking through it in only three days?
Usually, Divine Phaseless Fruits were things that only Deity Realm experts could get their hands on!
The entire worth of the Divine Feathers Sect couldnât compare to the price of a single Divine Phaseless Fruit!
Even an ordinary Martial Ancestor Realm wouldnât know how to properly use a Divine Phaseless Fruit; however, Nie Li knew it all!
Over the next few days, Nie Li began refining elixirs like mad. With a detailed manufacturing procedure, the process itself wasnât anything difficult.
Roughly ten days later, Nie Li had refined over five hundred elixirs.
Nie Li couldnât help showing a gratified smile as he beheld those clear, sparkling and jade-like elixirs. Armed with these elixirs, he was like a tiger thatâd grown wings1. But all of the credit had to go to Senior Tian Yuan. If it hadnât been for his gift of the Divine Phaseless Fruits, there wouldâve been nothing that Nie Li could do, even while knowing the refinery method. Even the cleverest housewife canât cook without rice!
Nie Li summoned his army of several hundred Sky Origin Divine Clan members from his painting, then sent them out to deliver the elixirs to Ye Ziyun, Ningâer, Du Ze and the rest. These elixirs would definitely let their cultivations soar by leaps and bounds.
Lu Piao picked up one of the elixirs and examined it. âIs this the divine elixir that you were talking about?â
They all knew that Nie Li had been busy refining the powerful elixir, and couldnât contain their excitement; once in a while, someone would drop by and take a look at how things were going. When they learned that the divine elixirs had finally been completed, they were all impatient to give it a try.
âGo ahead!â Nie Li said with a smile.
Lu Piao looked at the elixir and felt deep inside that Nie Li wasnât lying. Back when they were still in Glory City, Nie Li had provided them with extremely powerful cultivation techniques. Of course heâd firmly believe in Nie Li, without a single doubt!
Lu Piao opened his mouth and swallowed that elixir. A burning sensation surged through his dantian, engulfing him until there was nothing left. He immediately sat down and crossed his legs.
