Chapter 557: Five Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill

Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Five Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill

The members of the He Family were utterly dumbfounded!

To think Cheng Yuan could just pull out a whole handful of such precious Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills!

This was simply...

The members of the He Family finally understood why Prince Duan had taken the initiative to become sworn brothers with someone from a younger generation, and even seemed to be trying to curry favor with him!

It turned out Xiaoyuan was just that incredible of an Alchemist!

He could casually refine Three Patterns Elixirs!

Xi Minglan said, a little embarrassed, "Then... should Grandma accept these?"

Seeing that Xi Minglan truly wanted them, Cheng Yuan stuffed the entire handful of Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills into her hands. Besides, they were no longer effective for him anyway.

"Grandma, this should be enough for a year’s supply. The next time I come to see you, I’ll prepare some more."

Xi Minglan trembled with excitement. This time, she didn’t refuse. Instead, she gazed at Cheng Yuan with a look of utmost satisfaction.

"Good! What a good boy! Xiaoyuan, you truly are a kind and pure-hearted child! Grandma was blind before! I now believe what Zhixuan said—you were definitely framed and sent to prison!"

Cheng Yuan grinned. "Grandma, don’t worry about it. My case has been overturned, and the responsible parties have paid the price. Um, Zhixuan is sound asleep..."

"Then we won’t disturb you two while you rest!"

Xi Minglan quickly led her family downstairs.

Cheng Yuan closed the door and refined another cauldron of Fourth Grade Essence Enhancement Pills.

Having learned his lesson from last time, all ten Elixirs in this batch were of Four Patterns quality.

Cheng Yuan finally broke into a satisfied smile.

Amid his happiness, Cheng Yuan sighed. Refining Four Patterns Elixirs required higher-quality medicinal ingredients, and he was running low on his supply.

Cheng Yuan continued with his Alchemy.

This time, he was refining Essence Pills.

The True Essence gained from consuming Elixirs wasn’t condensed enough. He needed Essence Pills to help refine it before it could crystallize smoothly.

「One hour later.」

Cheng Yuan had used up nearly all his high-quality medicinal ingredients. With only one portion left, he decided to use it to attempt refining a Five Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill.

He wouldn’t feel the loss even if he failed.

After all, he had already refined twenty-nine Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills, thirty Four Patterns Essence Pills, and twenty Four Patterns Soul Refining Pills.

He also had ten Four Patterns Rejuvenation Pills, which could be used to save his life in a critical moment.

For this round of Alchemy, Cheng Yuan was incredibly focused, keeping his Essence, Qi, and Spirit in their optimal state.

After the second purification, Cheng Yuan decisively began a third!

The True Essence in Cheng Yuan’s body was quickly depleted, forcing him to consume several Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills.

After a full half-hour, he finally managed to extract more impurities from the twice-purified medicinal liquid!

The most crucial moment had arrived!

Cheng Yuan began the final stage: Solidifying the Pill!

Cheng Yuan swallowed a few Three Patterns Elixirs to restore his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their peak condition before beginning the pill solidification.

To Cheng Yuan’s surprise, the thrice-purified medicinal liquid was so potent that it was on the verge of developing Spiritual Wisdom!

Even using all his strength, Cheng Yuan couldn’t manage to solidify the pill!

In fact, it was showing signs of collapsing!

Cheng Yuan refused to accept failure!

Steeling himself, he swallowed a Bursting Pill!

BOOM!

The True Essence in Cheng Yuan’s body exploded, multiplying several times over!

The pressure inside the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron surged once more!

Cheng Yuan finally managed to suppress the thrice-purified medicinal liquid!

With a muffled BANG!

For the first time, the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron exploded!

The lid was sent flying by the immense pressure!

But a look of utter astonishment and delight appeared on Cheng Yuan’s face!

Because one of the Elixirs was clearly inscribed with five Pill Patterns!

Even though the fifth Pill Pattern was a little short, it was still a success!

’His master was coming to Jinling personally to back him up. As his disciple, how could he not show his appreciation?’

’Besides, he couldn’t even use a Five Patterns Elixir right now!’

’So he might as well use it to honor his master!’

Now, it was time to test the fruits of his labor!

’Hopefully, the Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill will be useful to me now!’

Cheng Yuan took out a Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill and popped it into his mouth.

Being cautious, Cheng Yuan didn’t swallow the entire Elixir, consuming only half of it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Cheng Yuan felt a familiar, scorching heat!

Waves of surging, turbulent energy erupted from his lower abdomen and instantly flooded Cheng Yuan’s Meridians!

This feeling of surging energy was exhilarating for Cheng Yuan!

Once he was sure he could handle the Medicinal Power, Cheng Yuan swallowed the other half of the Elixir!

Cheng Yuan operated the Celestial Witch Heart Method at full power, working hard to refine the Medicinal Power!

The Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill was over ten times more potent than the Three Patterns version!

After consuming just one, Cheng Yuan felt his bottleneck begin to loosen!

Striking while the iron was hot, Cheng Yuan swallowed another!

If any other Martial Emperors or even Half-Step Martial Saints were to witness this, their jaws would hit the floor!

It would take them at least a month, or a week at the absolute minimum, to refine the Medicinal Power of a single Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill!

But what about Cheng Yuan?

It hadn’t even been two minutes...

If they dared to consume two Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills within two minutes, their Meridians would surely rupture, and they would die on the spot!

Yet Cheng Yuan merely felt a slight sense of fullness!

A pleasant, stretching ache that was surprisingly comfortable.

BOOM!!

In one fell swoop, Cheng Yuan broke through the bottleneck, smoothly reaching the Martial King Late Stage!

Cheng Yuan clenched his fists tightly. This feeling of being filled with power was incredible!

Cheng Yuan had a vague feeling that even without taking a Bursting Pill, he could now hold his own against a Half-Step Martial Saint!

If he took a Bursting Pill, he would be absolutely invincible against anyone below the rank of Martial Saint!

Relying on the first three stances of the Celestial Witch Nine Extremes, he could even withstand three moves from a Martial Saint!

Of course, after those three moves, Cheng Yuan would still be defeated.

’Tomorrow is the Jinling Yang Family’s disciple recruitment ceremony!’

’I have to increase my strength as quickly as possible!’

A crazed glint flashed in Cheng Yuan’s eyes as he swallowed two Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills in one gulp!

This was the act of a madman!

Even veteran Martial Saints wouldn’t dare swallow two Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills at once!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A torrent of heat like a raging river erupted in Cheng Yuan’s abdomen!

It surged majestically into his Meridians!

This time, even with Cheng Yuan’s powerful constitution, it was almost too much to bear!

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

Some of the smaller meridians inside Cheng Yuan’s body were torn apart by the pressure!

Capillaries ruptured!

In an instant, Cheng Yuan was covered in blood!

The pain was so intense it twisted Cheng Yuan’s handsome face!

But instead of panicking, Cheng Yuan let out a wild roar!

"Bring it on! Charge for me!!"

Like a fearless warrior, Cheng Yuan mobilized all the True Essence in his body and launched a frenzied assault on the final bottleneck of the Martial King realm!

BOOM!!

The bottleneck to the Martial King Great Perfection realm shook violently from the impact, but it showed no signs of loosening!

After all, Cheng Yuan had only just broken through to the Martial King Late Stage; his foundation was still unstable!

But Cheng Yuan didn’t care. He had enough Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills! He had enough energy!

If one assault failed, he’d try a second!

If two failed, he’d try a third!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

After consuming a total of nine Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills and assaulting it a dozen times, the incredibly solid bottleneck finally began to give way!

VMMMM!!

The bottleneck to the Martial King Great Perfection realm was finally shattered by Cheng Yuan!

If other experts were to witness this, their jaws would drop to the floor!

’Are you even human?’

’Breaking through two barriers of the Martial King realm in a single night?’

’It takes us several years of desperate Cultivation to do that!’

Cheng Yuan’s situation was absolutely unique.

First, one would need a sufficient supply of Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills. Second, one would need a Sacred Body, with a constitution tough enough to endure it. Otherwise, their Meridians would have long since been destroyed, resulting in death.

Cheng Yuan felt a sense of clarity throughout his body. There was no longer any feeling of blockage within him; every single one of his minor meridians had been opened!

Even some previously unknown, hidden meridians were now open!

The circulation speed of his True Essence increased considerably!

Cheng Yuan clenched his fist tightly. This feeling of utter, uninhibited power was exhilarating!

Cheng Yuan was absolutely certain that with his current strength, even if he couldn’t defeat a Martial Saint, he could at least escape from one!

He desperately wanted to roar to the heavens, but worried he would wake He Zhixuan, so he had to suppress his excitement!

Cheng Yuan didn’t pause his Cultivation. He took out a Four Patterns Essence Pill, swallowed it, and began using its Medicinal Power to refine his True Essence.

After consuming another nine Four Patterns Essence Pills, Cheng Yuan successfully refined all the True Essence in his body into a crystalline state.

Any other Martial Artist who witnessed this would be scared to death. The Medicinal Power of a single Four Patterns Essence Pill was at least ten times greater than that of a Three Patterns Essence Pill!

In other words, it was as if Cheng Yuan had swallowed one hundred Three Patterns Essence Pills at once!

Not even a Martial Saint would dare to attempt such a thing!
