Chapter 451 Mu Qingyang's Past
In this world.
When the grade of a pill reaches the highest level of the Imperial grade, it will inevitably be subjected to a tribulation of lightning upon completion.
Only by undergoing the tempering of lightning tribulations can the supreme royal-grade pill be born.
It can be called the king of elixirs, possessing miraculous effects that transcend the ordinary and reach sainthood.
The "Lingxi Qingshen Pill" that Mu Qingyang refined this time is considered one of the best among royal-grade pills.
This elixir not only has extremely stringent requirements for medicinal materials, but also requires rare and precious herbs of the highest quality.
Moreover, the refining process is extremely complex, and the slightest mistake can ruin everything.
To refine this pill, Mu Qingyang spared no effort, unleashing all his knowledge and skills without reservation.
Therefore, it is only natural that such a terrifying lightning tribulation was attracted this time.
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to tremble for the birth of this earth-shattering elixir.
"Rumble..."
As time slowly flows by.
The already deafening thunder roared even more fiercely between heaven and earth.
It was as if thousands of ancient behemoths were running wildly and roaring in the clouds, their sounds so loud they made one's eardrums ache and one's heart tremble.
Immediately afterwards, large raindrops fell like beads from a broken string.
It poured down from the thick, dark clouds, instantly turning into a torrential downpour.
It crashed onto the ground with a "splash," splashing up layers of murky water.
The entire market town was instantly thrown into chaos by the raging wind and rain.
Some vendors, looking at the sudden downpour, couldn't help but spit out their food and muttered helplessly:
"This darn weather! It just starts raining all of a sudden, without giving anyone any time to prepare!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly set up the tent, trying to shelter the goods on the stall from the wind and rain.
But the tent swayed precariously in the strong wind, as if it would be blown away at any moment.
Some vendors, however, didn't care much and hurriedly packed up their goods, stuffing them all into boxes.
Then he shouldered the box and hurried home.
In their view, with this heavy rain, business was definitely impossible, so they might as well go home and rest and wait for the rain to stop.
......

Of course, in this chaotic market.
Some cultivators with exceptional eyesight also noticed the dazzling light that was faintly shimmering in the darkness of the world.
The luster was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, brief yet dazzling, quite unlike the usual scene of a rainstorm.
These cultivators were startled, realizing that this might not be a simple natural phenomenon, but rather something artificially created by someone using supernatural means.
And in the Valley of Medicine Kings, there is no way such earth-shattering power could exist.
Besides the legendary Medicine Emperor Mu Qingyang, who is rarely seen, who else could it be?
Immediately, the cultivators began to speculate, filled with awe and curiosity about Mu Qingyang's methods.
I felt that his methods were unfathomable and profound, like a fairy mountain in the clouds, impossible to fathom.
This heaven-reaching method is very likely his creation.
But no one expected that the Medicine King, who had stopped refining pills for many years and had never touched the alchemy furnace again, would start refining pills again!
Let's turn back the clock several decades.
At that time, the Medicine King Mu Qingyang was in his prime, ambitious and full of vigor.
He actually dared to use his life's knowledge of alchemy to challenge the legendary "Emperor-grade Pills," hoping to become the "Emperor of Alchemy" and become famous throughout the world!
On that occasion, the Treasure Pavilion naturally provided full support to Mu Qingyang's remarkable feat.
They knew that if the Treasure Pavilion could have a Pill Emperor in charge, its reputation would surely soar and resound throughout the land.
At that time, friends from all directions will come uninvited.
The Treasure Pavilion will also leap to become a true top-tier power, capable of contending with the mysterious and unpredictable Nine Nether Demonic Sect and the profound Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Therefore, the Treasure Pavilion spared no expense in providing Mu Qingyang with many rare and precious medicines for him to experiment with and study.
After all, refining Emperor-grade pills is a gamble; without sufficient precious ingredients and opportunities for trial and error, it's simply impossible.
......
------
However, the result was obvious.
Mu Qingyang failed.
He attempted to refine it eight times, pouring all his heart and soul into each attempt, but each time ended in failure.
Those repeated failures not only wasted countless precious medicines, but also exhausted the manpower and resources of the Treasure Pavilion.
Mu Qingyang gazed at the alchemy furnace that had turned to ashes time and time again. Although he had expected it, when the result was truly before his eyes;
He still felt a despair he had never felt before.
His spirit was gradually eroded by the cruel reality, and he instantly became despondent.
From then on, Mu Qingyang never refined pills again, nor did he touch any pills.
He fell from the lofty pinnacle of alchemy to the mortal world.
Afterwards, he went into seclusion in the southern part of Chongxiao City and used some spare money he had accumulated over the years to open this market.
Outsiders call this place "Medicine King Valley".
Mu Qingyang also began to live the life of an ordinary person.
Although life is not as glamorous as before, it is still quite pleasant in its ordinariness.
After all, he's now considered a wealthy landowner, living a comfortable life with plenty of food and drink.
Therefore, the past glories and losses are all sealed away in these ordinary days.
......
------
The sky grew increasingly dark.
It was as if it were completely shrouded by a huge black curtain, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The whole world was plunged into a chaotic darkness.
Even the clouds that had gathered in the sky earlier, radiating a mysterious and dazzling light, were gone.
At this moment, it gradually dimmed, like a candle flickering in the wind, swaying with its last glimmer of light, before finally disappearing completely into the endless darkness.
Between heaven and earth, only the deep, inky blackness remained, so still that it inspired fear.
Not long after, a muffled and violent roar suddenly rang out from the alchemy room deep inside the courtyard.
It was as if an ancient god was roaring in anger, or as if some mysterious force between heaven and earth was colliding violently.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely dazzling light, like a blazing sun, burst forth in the alchemy room.
The light instantly pierced through the walls of the alchemy room, shooting straight into the dark night sky and illuminating everything around it as if it were daytime.
Correspondingly.
A thick, golden bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky.
The lightning bolt resembled a majestic golden dragon, exuding a chilling aura, as it swooped down at incredible speed.
With a devastating force, it crashed into the alchemy room.
It collided violently with the bursting light.
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out in the room.
It sounded like metal striking stone, sharp and piercing, making one's heart pound.
