Chapter 71 Pill Tribulation
The commotion was so loud that it alerted other guests, and even those who were already resting came out of their rooms to peek in.
What happened last time taught them a lesson: don't be a doer, wait for others to do it first, and even if you really want to join in the fun, you have to hold back.
Tao Tao and Song Chaofeng didn't have so many concerns. They rushed out and ran to Bai Yan's room. They found that the noise was indeed coming from inside, so they quickly pushed the door open and then quickly closed it. The others couldn't figure out what was going on even if they craned their necks.
Having learned their lesson the hard way, these people didn't dare to act recklessly when they saw that it was Song Chaofeng and his group. They could only glance at them silently, and when they found that there was no more commotion, they all went back to their rooms.
"Ayan, what's wrong?"
As soon as she entered, Tao Tao hurriedly asked questions, showing great concern for Bai Yan.
"This is..." Song Chaofeng was naturally not as worried as Tao Tao. He knew Bai Yan's strength and didn't need to worry about him. After entering the room, he saw the pill floating in mid-air with a faint light and was somewhat surprised.
But judging from the thunderclouds covering the pill and the dazzling light it emitted, it was no ordinary pill. The pill that could produce thunderclouds must be at least level three. Could he really be refining pills for Tao Tao here?
"The level is a bit high, and a pill tribulation will occur soon, so you should stay away."
Bai Yan spoke calmly, somewhat puzzled by the high-level pill he had refined, as it was clearly of a higher grade.
"Dan, Dan Jie?" Song Chaofeng's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "Isn't that something only fifth-grade or higher pills have? Could it be..." At this point, Song Chaofeng glanced at the floating pill and discovered that it actually had five pill patterns on it. What else could it be but a fifth-grade pill?
In all his life, Song Chaofeng had never seen a pill of grade three or higher. This time, he actually encountered one, and it was even made by someone himself. It was truly an eye-opener.
Tao Tao didn't care about the grade at all. She asked suspiciously, "Then is this still a Heavenly Origin Pill?"
"Yes, but no. Higher levels naturally yield higher returns, but you might not be able to refine them."
"So... how many did you refine?"
Tao Tao thought that if one stone is of a high grade, then not all of them can be of a high grade; there should be at least one that is roughly the same grade.
Song Chaofeng, who was standing to the side, was skeptical. "How many pills? Do they really think Tianyuan Pills are like candy that can be made so easily?"
Just as I was thinking that, Bai Yan said, "Three. Didn't we collect the materials for three? That's just enough to refine three."
"Not a single one damaged?" Song Chaofeng's jaw dropped in astonishment. In the past few days, he had been hanging out with Tao Tao and found that his horizons had broadened considerably. To be able to refine a pill of the Tianyuan Pill level so easily and with a 100% success rate, one would probably need to be a fifth or sixth-grade alchemist to achieve this level of alchemy.
Bai Yan ignored his words. Although the True Dragon Ancestor rarely refined pills himself, it did not mean that he would fail. What level was this? If he failed, wouldn't he lose face?
Bai Yan took out two more pills and handed them to Tao Tao. Tao Tao took them with a puzzled look and saw that they were both grade five. It seemed that it was impossible for Bai Yan to refine low-grade pills.
"I have already withstood the previous pill tribulation, but the power will be greater each time it comes three times in a row. I will completely shield this inn, but I can't guarantee that you will not be affected. Please take precautions."
As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds appeared above the inn, and thunder began to rumble, sounding extremely frightening. Each flash of lightning foreshadowed impending danger.
"What should we do then?" Song Chaofeng sensed the movement around him and was very scared. He asked with a worried expression. After all, even Bai Yan had said that there would be danger. Judging from his and Tao Tao's cultivation levels, they could not withstand such a tribulation.
Bai Yan didn't even glance at him, coldly saying, "Just move aside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yan vanished from the spot. The cloud of pills surrounding the floating Heavenly Origin Pill left in the room grew thicker, and lightning could be faintly seen intertwining around it. It seemed that the area above the inn was extremely dangerous.
"I'll go take a look." Tao Tao turned to leave the room, but Song Chaofeng grabbed her. "What are you going to see? This is a tribulation for a fifth-grade pill. If you go and get caught in the crossfire, you might lose your life. Didn't you hear what the senior said? Let's activate our defenses and stay here first."
Since Bai Yan went, Tao Tao naturally wanted to go too. She knew Bai Yan's strength; even if it was just an avatar, it was still far beyond what cultivators in the human realm could compare to. He could easily handle the tribulation of a mere fifth-grade pill.
"With Ayan here, nothing will happen. Senior brother, you stay here for now."
No matter how much Song Chaofeng tried to persuade her, it was no use. Tao Tao broke free from his hand and rushed out of the room.
Meanwhile, the other people in the inn seemed to be immobilized, unable to move, unaware of what was happening outside, only sensing that danger was approaching.
At this moment, Bai Yan had already arrived at the inn and stood on the air. His cold eyes swept over the lightning in the sky. He stood with his hands behind his back, not afraid at all. His black hair moved with the wind, and his white clothes fluttered like those of a god from the heavens.
Tao Tao transformed into a small beast and climbed onto the roof, just in time to see Bai Yan standing in the center of the lightning. Lightning bolts kept striking him, but he didn't feel it at all. The lightning entered his body and was slowly absorbed by him, causing him no harm whatsoever.
Noticing Tao Tao's arrival, Bai Yan looked up at her and transmitted his voice, "Take out your Ice Lightning Sword; it's perfect for tempering it here."
"Okay." Tao Tao nodded, took out the Ice Lightning Sword, and flew towards Bai Yan. Unexpectedly, she was so reckless, rushing towards such terrifying lightning without hesitation.
Having no other choice, Bai Yan waved his sleeve, creating a path for Tao Tao so that Tao Tao could come to Bai Yan's side without any hindrance.
"The Thunder Eye is up there. Take the Ice Thunder Sword with you."
"it is good."
Tao Tao would do whatever Bai Yan said without hesitation, transforming into human form and carrying the Ice Thunder Sword straight into the eye of thunder.
It should be known that the depths of the Thunder Eye are the most dangerous place, especially the tribulation of a fifth-grade pill. Someone with Tao Tao's cultivation level would surely die if she went there, but she didn't question it at all, or even think about it, which surprised Bai Yan.
Naturally, Bai Yan wouldn't let the lightning harm her if he sent her there. When she approached the eye of lightning, her body was enveloped in a layer of pure spiritual energy, which absorbed the lightning as soon as it got close, and she didn't even notice it.
In Lei Yan's eyes, Tao Tao faced no obstacles and directly raised the Ice Lightning Sword in his hand. Instantly, all the lightning was drawn to the Ice Lightning Sword and continuously struck it. The Ice Lightning Sword was not to be outdone. After all, it was a magic weapon forged by the level 10 demon beast Thunder Beast, so how could it be afraid of this lightning?
The Ice Lightning Sword frantically absorbed lightning in the lightning eye, and its surface became transparent, with lightning faintly visible floating on the blade.
