Chapter 1752: Chapter 1749: Heaven-Reaching Pill

The difference in color, smell, and potency between these two genetic liquid medicines is so subtle that it can be ignored. Under normal circumstances, it’s difficult for most people to notice any difference.

But Xiao Yixian, being quite knowledgeable in pharmacology and having recently consumed genetic liquid medicine frequently, sensed the subtle distinctions.

Especially after consuming this genetic liquid medicine, he vaguely felt a slight and extremely subtle loosening of the shackles of his Realm.

Even though Xiao Yixian, a cultivator with over seventeen hundred years of experience, considers himself to have an immensely strong mindset, he could not conceal his inner excitement at this moment.

Wan Daorong achieved a breakthrough through the consumption of genetic liquid medicine.

Shi Cang did the same.

As a cultivator of the same Realm, why wouldn’t he want to progress?

Therefore, last time he received genetic liquid medicine, he didn’t hold back any and used all of it himself.

This time, he took his share according to the proportion he could get.

Although the effectiveness of this medicine on cultivators is a matter of probability.

Many people use a large amount of genetic liquid medicine but benefit from it never in their entire lives, while some only need to take a small sip to transform from mundane to a cultivator with a spirit root, or greatly enhance their spirit root talent.

However, for those cultivators for whom the medicine does not work, they’re always unwilling to give up, believing in quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes, thus striving to acquire more genetic liquid medicine.

Xiao Yixian was not immune to this mindset.

Every time he’d consume genetic liquid medicine, he’d be full of anticipation but would end up disappointed time and again over the past two years.

This time, after taking Yang Qingchan as a disciple, he felt a sense of fate with this disciple, and regarding the teacher’s gift given by the disciple, he was not being bashful and used it immediately, unexpectedly producing an unforeseen effect.

This disciple truly was fated with him.

Some might even say she was his lucky star.

As for discovering the subtle difference between the products Earth tributes and those used by Earth cultivators themselves, Xiao Yixian thought for a moment and decided not to speak of it for the time being.

Things have just stabilized, and if this issue were to bring Earth to account, it might cause new variables.

After all, the genetic liquid medicine and the large number of top-grade spirit stones were tributes from Earth.

And as long as they produce the same effect, there’s no need to bother whether what they tribute is substandard or premium.

Everyone has their self-interests, and since Earth is weak and is compelled to tribute to secure room for development, the Wangxian Sect asks for a high price aggressively. It’s only natural that they might tamper with the tributed items.

It’s just that Yang Fei was a tad careless.

Since what was tributed was a lower grade, it shouldn’t have allowed Earth cultivators to bring premium goods to the Southern Domain Cultivation World; otherwise, it would eventually attract attention.

Xiao Yixian weighed the situation for a bit, then decided not to mention this matter for now, pretending to be unaware.

Once he crosses that threshold like Wan Daorong, or even progresses to a higher Realm, his voice in the Wangxian Sect would be more influential, and brother Luqiu’s domineering attitude might temper a bit.

Ultimately, the overall balance within the Southern Domain is of utmost importance.

Xiao Yixian has full confidence in the future of the Wangxian Sect and even holds great expectations for the future of the Southern Domain.

He believes that as long as the secret of Earth is preserved, allowing the various forces in the Southern Domain Cultivation World to develop quietly for some years, even if the secret of genetic liquid medicine spreads to the other major Immortal Domains in the future, the Southern Domain would be one step ahead, no longer being inferior as it has been for the past five thousand years.

"The Purple and Blue Treasure Sword I gifted you, despite its great power, you are, after all, only at the Qi Refining Fifth Stage, and are unable to fully unleash its power. Even a Peak Late Stage of Qi Refining cultivator could pose a significant threat to you."

Suddenly, Xiao Yixian said.

Yang Qingchan was overjoyed, thinking that even though her cultivation was just at the Qi Refining Fifth Stage, as long as she held this Purple and Blue Treasure Sword, she could spar with masters of the Qi Refining Eighth Stage or even Ninth Stage?

Xiao Yixian continued: "I don’t have any low rank talismans suitable for you to use right now. When we return to the sect, I’ll get you some protective ones. Of course, your cultivation is shallow; it is most important to stay by my side, cultivate diligently, and strive to elevate your Realm when you return. Within the Wangxian Sect, you don’t need to worry about safety issues."

After pondering for a moment, he reached out his hand and, like a magic trick, pulled out a small white porcelain bottle, pouring out a brown-red elixir.

Yang Qingchan immediately felt an intense spiritual power rushing toward her, invigorating her spirit.

"While excessive elixir consumption might be akin to forcing growth, detrimental to later cultivation, given your constitution, you haven’t consumed much elixir. Moreover, your current Realm is too low, so raising it first is essential. This ’Heaven-Reaching Pill’ is originally best suited for late-stage Foundation Establishment consumption. Nevertheless, it may be somewhat wasteful for you to use it now, though it doesn’t matter—elevate your Realm first."

As Xiao Yixian said this, he lightly shook his hand, and the Heaven-Reaching Pill floated steadily in front of Yang Qingchan.

Yang Qingchan’s breath hitched.

Heaven-Reaching Pill?

Though she had always lived on Earth, with many cultivators from the Southern Domain visiting Earth, Earth cultivators also gained quite a bit of knowledge about the cultivation world from them.

The Heaven-Reaching Pill was the dream for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

It was said that obtaining one genuine Heaven-Reaching Pill guarantees a 100% success rate for Core Formation.

Even a substandard Heaven-Reaching Pill could increase the success rate of Core Formation to about 80%.

For her now, this elixir was truly a Supreme Treasure, more precious than any amount of genetic liquid medicine.

She carefully accepted it, planning to use it later when attempting Core Formation.

Xiao Yixian discerned her thoughts, smiled, and said, "Consume it now. Although the Heaven-Reaching Pill is precious, I can still find more for you. Don’t worry about future matters. It’s more important to elevate your current Realm swiftly. Plus, even after consuming it now, the residual effects will aid you greatly when you attempt Core Formation in the future."

Seeing her master’s assertion, Yang Qingchan didn’t hesitate and swallowed the Heaven-Reaching Pill right then.

The elixir melted instantly in her mouth, and a surge of spiritual power flooded into her body, bringing immense comfort.

"Sit quietly and cultivate, diligently absorb it," Xiao Yixian’s voice advised her.

Yang Qingchan dared not be lax and immediately complied.

However, as soon as she sat down, the tidal wave of spiritual power no longer brought comfort but rather a painful swelling.

The potency of the medicine was overwhelming, and the spiritual power released rapidly filled her body’s meridians and acupoints, making it extremely difficult for her Qi Refining Fifth Stage body to endure, causing her to show signs of distress.
