Chapter 911: Tenth-Tier Spirit Pill

"I could arrange it."

Wen Tingguang chuckled and nodded at Ling Feng before addressing the spherical crystal again. "Secondary search: Sacred Dragon Tyrant-Blood Pill."

The mechanical panel flashed with multicolored lights once more. Soon, new data emerged. "Two thousand forty-eight indexed entries. Four volumes match search criteria."

"Perfect!"

Wen Tingguang laughed heartily. "Duplicate these four volumes' contents onto a display jade and transmit them."

A white light flashed across the platform as a palm-sized circular jade disc floated up from a recessed slot.

Wen Tingguang retrieved the jade and handed it to Ling Feng. "This is a display jade. The contents will only last three days before vanishing automatically. It's a security measure against information leaks, standard procedure. I trust you don't mind?"

"Of course not. Three days is more than enough."

Ling Feng bowed deeply. "My thanks, Brother Wen!"

"No need for formalities between us brothers," Wen Tingguang said with a hearty laugh.

"

Ugh

..."

Qiao Qiao pretended to gag. "Elder Wen, your dignity is showing! At your age, still calling him 'little brother' like that."

Wen Tingguang shrugged indifferently and said, "You little rascal, no respect at all. Lan, this is all your fault for spoiling her too much!"

Yue Yunlan shook her head with a helpless smile. "I'm powerless to control her."

Qiao Qiao clung to Yue Yunlan's arm, pouting. "Because my lady is the kindest young lady in the world!"

Her boldness stemmed from understanding Wen Tingguang's easygoing nature. If it were any other elder, she wouldn't have dared to act so boldly.

Wen Tingguang mimicked her gagging gesture, teasing the girl before turning serious. "Lately, rumors about your impending challenge against the Royal Sword Team have spread like wildfire. While I naturally support you, exercise caution. The Fourth Prince is no saint."

Glancing around, he lowered his voice. "These words mustn't leave this room. Some matters aren't for subjects to discuss."

"I understand." Ling Feng's expression turned grave. "I've dealt with him before. He's indeed formidable."

"Just stay vigilant."

After escorting them down the mountain, Wen Tingguang bid farewell while Yue Yunlan accompanied Ling Feng back to Tianwei Academy. At Yan Cangtian's residence, they began studying the display jade's contents together.

Yan Cangtian snatched the jade eagerly upon their return, too absorbed to acknowledge Yue Yunlan's presence.

Left with no choice, Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan waited patiently in the study. Despite its small size, the display jade contained vast information.

Time ticked by, and by the time dusk fell, Yan Cangtian finally placed the display jade on the table. A look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Remarkable! This is truly unprecedented!"

His excited laughter and near-dancing startled Ling Feng from his drowsiness. "Master! What did you find?"

"

Mm!

Finally, valuable insights!"

Yan Cangtian nodded emphatically. "The Sacred Dragon Tyrant-Blood Pill uses an Eight Desolations Sacred Dragon's corpse as its primary ingredient, refined with countless rare treasures into a tenth-tier spirit pill! It enhances cultivation aptitude and tempers the body tremendously."

"Tenth-tier!"

Ling Feng's pupils contracted. Within the Tianbai Empire, even seventh-tier spirit pills were beyond most alchemists' capabilities. Tenth-tier practitioners had essentially vanished.

The Sacred Dragon Tyrant-Blood Pill had been refined by Ethereal Fire for millennia, and he'd merely completed the process. No wonder its completion triggered the Blood Echelon pill tribulation.

Though unfamiliar with Eight Desolations Sacred Dragons' exact classification, any dragon clan member was undeniably formidable.

This explained why the Despicable Donkey, merely an early-tier demon emperor, could match Elder Xuan Snake's full power despite no apparent strength increase.

A pill refined from a true dragon remains undoubtedly unlocked limitless potential.

For average talents, consuming one might guarantee cultivation to the great emperor realm. For true geniuses, the benefits would be immeasurable.

Ling Feng rubbed his nose bridge. This suggested normal humans wouldn't mutate like the Despicable Donkey had. That donkey truly might be a "divine beast" as claimed.

"However," Yan Cangtian's next words "extinguished" Ling Feng's excitement, "the pill's medicinal strength is too potent for ordinary people. Records indicate only high-tier Human Emperors could withstand it. Ancient experts also practiced body refinement, making their physiques far sturdier than modern cultivators."

"So the pill is currently unusable?" Ling Feng's shoulders slumped. Reaching Human Emperor realm could take years.

"Not necessarily." Yan Cangtian smiled knowingly. "There's a second consumption method."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. "Master, must you pause for dramatic effect?"

"

Haha,

lightening the mood!" Yan Cangtian grinned.

Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao exchanged a glance. There were many rumors about Yan Cangtian in the outside world. Some said he was a mad old man, others called him a pill-making fanatic, and some even claimed he was a man-eating demon.

But now, it seemed the old man had a bit more charm than the rumors suggested.
