Chapter 1261 1254: Wind Ridge Town, Pill Thunder Appears!
Inside the Alchemy Room.
Time flowed by quietly.
The purification, fusion, and nurturing of the Spirit Medicines for forty sets of Venerable-Breaking Pill, numbering in the thousands of kinds, were all extremely time-consuming.
Night gradually shrouded Wind Ridge Town.
Within the Pill Room, a purple Pill Furnace was suspended in midair, crimson flames surging inside it, enveloping forty masses of liquid.
As Qin Yang lowered the temperature of the flames, those liquids began to solidify, then transformed into perfectly round pill pellets.
Half an hour later, within the Pill Furnace, those forty pill pellets had already taken on the form of pills.
"They've taken pill form."
A hint of joy appeared on Nangong Huozhu's pretty face.
Qin Yang also let out a soft breath; refining elixirs continuously for seven or eight hours had greatly consumed both his Heart Power and Spiritual Power.
Buzz~!
At the very instant those purple pill pellets inside the Pill Furnace formed into fully rounded elixirs, the entire Pill Furnace began to tremble violently, humming loudly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
Between heaven and earth, thunderclouds suddenly formed above the Alchemy Hall; those pitch-black thunderclouds rapidly gathered, silver lightning electric snakes roaming within.
Inside the Alchemy Room, Qin Yang and Nangong Huozhu lifted their heads in unison and, through the transparent ceiling, looked up toward the sky above the Alchemy Hall.
"Sect Leader, is this… Pill Thunder?!"
Nangong Huozhu's beautiful eyes were filled with shock as she stared at the densely massing dark clouds above the Alchemy Hall.
"Mm, when the Pill Power of the refined elixir reaches a certain level, it will draw Pill Thunder."
Qin Yang nodded with a smile as he spoke.
He was not surprised at drawing Pill Thunder. Last time, in the Bai Mansion, Qin Yang had refined thirty sets of Venerable-Breaking Pill in one go and had already drawn Pill Thunder. This time, refining forty sets of Venerable-Breaking Pill, drawing Pill Thunder was only to be expected.
Rumble~!
Rumble~!
In the night sky above the Alchemy Hall, the black thunderclouds gathered thicker and thicker, silver lightning electric snakes roaming within, dull thunderous roars booming out.
"What is that?!"
The Lord's Mansion was already located at the center of Wind Ridge Town; in the night sky, the huge mass of black thunderclouds covering the sky above the Alchemy Hall quickly attracted the attention of a large number of Cultivators.
Within Wind Ridge Town, hundreds of thousands of gazes were lifted in astonishment, staring at that vast thundercloud several hundred meters above the Lord's Mansion.
"Is there another senior from the Lord's Mansion about to undergo tribulation and break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm?"
"It can't be a Thunder Tribulation, right? Why choose to break through in a place with so many people? Isn't that courting death?"
"Doesn't look like Thunder Tribulation—the height is a bit off."
"That seems to be the legendary… Pill Thunder!"
"…"
Voices of shocked and uncertain discussion rose one after another.
Rumble~!
The black thunderclouds shrouded more than half the sky above the Lord's Mansion, thunder roaring, rumbling far into the distance.
Buzz~!!!
Inside the Pill Room, the purple Pill Furnace shook ever more violently, and then, with a dull sound, the lid of the Purple Jade Pill Furnace flew up.
Immediately after, one purple elixir after another, wreathed in flickering lightning, shot out as streaks of light, then formed a circle, appearing in the air above the Pill Furnace.
Boom~!
Just as one Venerable-Breaking Pill flew out from within the Pill Thunder, the huge thundercloud in the night sky began to churn violently.
Then, a thick bolt of lightning, like a gigantic thunder python, blasted down from the thundercloud, striking toward the Venerable-Breaking Pills above the Pill Furnace, clearly intent on destroying these elixirs.
"Sect Leader, the Pill Thunder is descending."
Nangong Huozhu's beautiful eyes narrowed as she spoke.
As an Alchemist, this was her first time seeing Pill Thunder. And judging from its might, this Pill Thunder's power was truly not weak; even she felt a trace of heart-palpitating fear.
"Mm."
Qin Yang gave a slight nod, then flicked his right hand, and a Scroll emitting silver radiance appeared in his hand.
"Your turn to take the field."
Swish!
Qin Yang unfurled the Silver Scroll in his hand, and a Silver Soldier, its whole body flashing with silver light, manifested, then, without the slightest fear, charged up to meet the Pill Thunder crashing down.
Boom-thud!
The powerful Pill Thunder blasted a huge hole in the transparent ceiling, then fell onto the Silver Soldier's body, smashing it down onto the stone floor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within the thunderclouds, powerful Pill Thunder bolts crashed down again and again, while the Silver Soldier charged up to meet them time and time again, utterly fearless of death.
Outside the Lord's Mansion, the whole of Wind Ridge Town had already boiled over.
The current Wind Ridge Town was no longer that small town of only tens of thousands of people; now Wind Ridge Town had gathered three to five hundred thousand Cultivators.
Those countless gazes stared in astonishment at the Pill Thunder above the Lord's Mansion.
They saw that, beneath the night sky, from within that thundercloud, thick silver lightning serpents kept crashing down. Even far outside Wind Ridge Town, one could see this scene.
"The Thunder Tribulation has begun to descend."
"It really is the legendary Pill Thunder."
"Yes, with so many Cultivators in Wind Ridge Town, the thunder's might hasn't visibly strengthened."
"When did the Lord's Mansion hire a Fourth Grade Alchemy Master…"
"…"
In the night, lightning flashed, illuminating one astonished face after another.
Some well-off Cultivators took out Crystal Balls and began recording this scene.
After all, among the hundreds of thousands of Cultivators in Wind Ridge Town, those who had seen this legendary Pill Thunder were exceedingly few.
It could be foreseen that the matter of Pill Thunder descending over Wind Ridge Town would spread through the entire Great Xia Dynasty with hurricane-like speed.
Rumble~!!
Above the Lord's Mansion, that vast Pill Thunder persisted for a full half hour before the final thick bolt of lightning fell. Only then was its power exhausted, and it slowly dissipated.
Inside the Alchemy Room.
The armor on the Silver Soldier's chest and all over its body had already been blasted by the Pill Thunder into dozens of pits.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle~!
Lightning arcs roamed over the Silver Soldier's body, then were bit by bit absorbed by it. Looking closely, the silver light in the Silver Soldier's eyes had grown even more dazzling.
"Sect Leader, this Puppet of yours can actually absorb the energy within Pill Thunder."
Nangong Huozhu said in amazement.
"Mm, this Puppet is a growth-type Puppet, indeed quite rare."
Qin Yang nodded, then unfurled the Silver Scroll again, drawing the Silver Soldier back into the Scroll. Immediately, Qin Yang's gaze shifted, falling on the purple pill pellets flickering with lightning above the Pill Furnace.
Swish!
A surge of Spiritual Power burst from within Qin Yang, directly wrapping around those purple pill pellets brimming with Pill Power and pulling them before him.
"Thirty-two pills."
Looking at the thirty-two perfectly round Venerable-Breaking Pills before him, Qin Yang gave a slight nod. Alchemy was never an easy task; even with his hand at it, the appearance of a few failed pills was unavoidable.
"Lord, all of these elixirs are of superior grade."
Nangong Huozhu said joyfully.
"Mm, not bad."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded, then took out a Pill Bottle and put all these Venerable-Breaking Pills away, after which he also summoned the purple Pill Furnace into his Storage Bag.
"Let's go. Rest for a day, then go back and carefully comprehend today's alchemy process. The day after tomorrow, we'll refine the Venerable Ascension Pill."
Qin Yang said to Nangong Huozhu.
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Nangong Huozhu's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she nodded. Watching Qin Yang's alchemy today, she had indeed gained not a little insight and harvest.
