Hall Master Old Yang took out a wooden box and opened it to reveal a pill.
“Stingy, just a pill?”
Ling Xiao naturally knew that this pill was extraordinary. He had read <Basic Alchemy> and naturally knew what the luster and aura of this pill meant.
This pill should be at least a high-grade yellow pill. Even Transcendent Realm experts would fight for it.
The name of this pill was ‘Transcendent Body Mold Pill.’
After eating it, it would neither temper one’s body nor improve one’s cultivation level, but this thing actually had a very big effect: improving one’s martial qualifications, remodeling one’s physical conditions, and making it easier for martial artists to step into the Transcendent Realm.
If Half Great Masters ate this pill, their chances of breaking through to the Transcendent Realm would increase by 50%.
If Rank Nine Transcendent Realm martial artists ate this pill, the chances of breaking through to the Celestial Realm would increase by 20%.
Ling Xiao was purely joking when he called such an amazing pill stingy.
This old man was truly interested in Ling Xiao.
“Stingy? Then, forget it!”
“Don’t! I want it! Of course, I want it!”
Only a fool wouldn’t want such a good thing.
Now, he was an Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master. Advancing his cultivation was a matter of course. It was only natural for him to reach Half Great Master soon.
However, breaking through to the Transcendent Realm acted as a trench.
With this Transcendent Body Mold Pill, it was equivalent to filling that trench. As long as he cultivated, along with an increase in true essence, breaking through to the Transcendent Realm would be a smooth matter.
“Senior Sister, what about you?”
Ling Xiao looked at Lan Yu’er and smiled brightly.
He thought that Lan Yu’er would flatly refuse him, but beyond his expectations, she took out a colorful stone.
“This is a smelting stone!”
Ling Xiao exclaimed.
“You have good judgment. You use a sword, but the rare-grade artifact you got from Li Anle is a spear, which obviously is not suitable for you. But with this smelting stone, you can hire a skilled weapon refiner to smelt this spear into a sword.”
Lan Yu’er smiled and said: “Naturally, the premise is that a common-grade artifact is used as the mold.”
“Heh heh, many thanks, Senior Sister.”
Ling Xiao truly hadn’t expected this senior sister who was as cold as an icy mountain to be so attentive.
She had prepared a smelting stone upon recognizing his need.
“No need to thank me. Just cook a meal for us as you said you would before.” Lan Yu’er smiled.
“Rest assured. I’ll do it.”
“Ling Xiao, I have also prepared a gift for you. This is a ‘Martial Essence Herb’ I nurtured in person. It’s neither valuable nor has any special effects. Although it’s a bit unsightly, it counts as my regards.”
Dai Yuling had also prepared a gift for Ling Xiao, but hers was naturally incomparable to the gifts of Lan Yu’er and Hall Master Old Yang. She was a special disciple who had just joined the Moonlight Sect; therefore, she could only give this kind of small gift with sentimental meaning.
“Senior Sister Yuling, you are too polite. I like this gift very much.”
What Ling Xiao cared about was not the value of gifts but their meaning.
Whoever said that there could not be a code of brotherhood between men and women? Dai Yuling, this girl could also become his best friend.
“Martial Essence Herb is something that only people with a plant martial soul can nurture. This kind of herb is not found in nature.”
Lan Yu’er explained: “Below one hundred years, this herb doesn’t have any particular effects, but once it exceeds one hundred years, it will become a treasure. It is a type of all-purpose herb that can replace all kinds of precious herbs in alchemy.”
“Speaking like that, I actually got a treasure.” Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“You should live for a hundred years first. Work hard to step into Transcendent Realm. Like that, your lifespan will increase by a hundred years.”
Lan Yu’er said.
Ling Xiao, however, thought. Now, one year is equivalent to one hundred years in my Landscape World. As long as this Martial Essence Herb is nurtured for one year in my body, it will become a treasure.
Merely, he would never say these words out loud.
Later, Ling Xiao personally cooked some food using a hundred-years-old ginseng, a hundred-years-old pheasant, a hundred-years-old garlic combined with a hundred-years-old spices to make a cauldron full of ginseng chicken soup.
After eating a potful, Dai Yuling went straight back to her house and entered seclusion.
The rich spiritual qi had allowed her to make a breakthrough.
After all, Dai Yuling had already reached peak Rank Eight Martial Vein, not far from a breakthrough anyway.
“Senior and Senior Sister, I’ll also go back to look at my cave dwelling and use this smelting stone and Transcendent Body Mold Pill.”
Ling Xiao also got up and left.
“Okay, you had a big battle today. You must be tired. Take a good rest and come back tomorrow. This old man has something important to tell you.”
Hall Master Old Yang said mysteriously.
“Can’t you say it today?” Ling Xiao asked.
“No.”
“Well then, see you tomorrow!”
That day, Ling Xiao returned to his cave dwelling. Although this place was not as good as the cave dwellings of inner disciples, it was still much better than those ordinary houses.
He first took a short rest, before taking out the Transcendent Body Mold Pill along with the remaining Heavens Bone Changing Pills.
With the increase in his cultivation and body’s strength, he could withstand stronger medicinal powers, so this was nothing.
In Ling Xiao’s eyes, the previously fierce medicinal power had become much gentler. It flowed into his internal organs via his meridians, penetrated his flesh and bones, and was absorbed.
To give a suitable example, Ling Xiao’s meridians were once equivalent to a small river, so if there was a flood, it would inevitably intrude upon the river bank.
But now, his meridians were equivalent to a big river, so enough water to flood a small river was nothing but a small stream.
It was also because of this that the medicinal power could enter into his body so gently and be absorbed as a tonic. Even if the speed was great, there was no big impact.
If someone else were in his place, this might not have worked.
If it were Dai Yuling or even Ming Tian, they might have faced a situation worse than death.
Ling Xiao circulated his superior gold-grade defense martial art <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> along with the quasi-gold-grade internal core law <Snow Lotus True Solution> to speed up his absorption.
Moreover, he continued to strengthen his body.
While speeding up his absorption of the medicinal power, he only felt a slight tingling sensation.
He looked within his body and could clearly see his body slowly being remodeled by the ‘Transcendent Body Mold Pill.’
This kind of transformation was not just physical but actually acted on the cellular level.
At the same time, he also circulated his Landscape Martial Soul.
Fresh and cool energy flowed out from his Landscape Martial Soul and combined with the energy from the Transcendent Body Mold Pill, further transforming his body.
He had long discovered that the Landscape Martial Soul could transform his body.
Although his aptitude had not initially been poor, it had not been enough to call him a heaven-defying freak. According to the Moonlight Sect’s test standards, it had been at most a divine-grade treasured body, similar to Ming Tian and Leng Hao.
