C708 To Break Through to Become a Tier 5 Pill King
The next step was to become a Tier 5 pill refiner. On the surface, there seemed to be only a difference of one level between a Tier 5 and a Tier 4 pill master, but in reality, the difference between a Tier 4 pill master and a Tier 5 pill master could be said to be incalculable. Just like how Tang Ao had been able to become a Grade Four Alchemist in his previous life, Tang Ao would naturally become a Grade Four Alchemist after spending a lot of time and effort.1
Firstly, Tang Ao didn't have that much time, and secondly, even if Tang Ao used that much time, he still wouldn't be able to become a Grade Five Alchemist. This was because a Tier 5 pill refiner was no longer someone who had a thorough understanding of the herbs and was proficient in the Alchemy skill. Grade five and above pills already contained the dao laws of this world. If one was unable to integrate the dao laws into a grade five spirit pill, it would be absolutely impossible to refine a grade five spirit pill.
In the Xuanhuang Continent, most Tier 5 to 8 alchemists would have a title, "Grade Five Alchemist becomes a Tier 5 Pill King, and then becomes a Pill King from Tier 6 to 8." But above the eighth rank, alchemists who could refine Grade Nine Spirit Dans were revered as Pill Emperor. In Tang Ao's previous life, there were no longer any Pill Emperor left in the Xuanhuang Continent and even the strongest An Ruosu was only a peak eighth stage Pill King.
In this life, there was naturally no such thing as Pill Emperor anymore. Tang Ao felt that the strongest alchemist in Xuanhuang Continent probably did not surpass the Seventh Tier Pill King. With regards to the various Pill Kings in the Xuanhuang Continent, Tang Ao didn't care at all. What Tang Ao was most concerned about right now was when he would be able to refine a Rank 6 Spirit Pill and get the second half of the inheritance jade scroll in the Shen Nong Emperor.
Tang Ao was looking forward to the second half of the inheritance jade slip, but it was not urgent at all. The most urgent thing for Tang Ao now was to leave the Shen Nong Emperor Palace as soon as possible and bring the Herba Agrimoniae back to save Su Ning. But what he was more helpless about, was that Tang Ao basically had no other way to leave the snowy plains at the moment. Therefore, Tang Ao could only use the Shen Nong Emperor's method to refine a grade six spirit pellet as soon as possible, and let Tang You accept the inheritance of the Emperor of the Dark Dragon.
The first batch of pellets Tang Ao prepared to refine was called the Mysterious Life and Death Pill. The role of the Mysterious Life and Death Pill was to allow the Warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm to gain insight into the opportunities of life and death realm, and thereby increase the chances of one being able to advance into the life and death realm. Lower level Mysterious Life and Death Pill could only increase the chances of a Warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm comprehending life and death realm by ten percent. On the other hand, middle stage Mysterious Life and Death Pill could increase the probability of the Warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm comprehending life and death realm by thirty percent. As for the high level Mysterious Life and Death Pill, it could increase the probability of the Warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm comprehending life and death realm by fifty percent.
It could be said that, with a Warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm with a high level Mysterious Life and Death Pill, if he still could not break through to the life and death realm, his aptitude would truly be too poor. It was said that apart from high level Mysterious Life and Death Pill, there were also high level Mysterious Life and Death Pill. Mysterious Life and Death Pill of this level could be considered a martial practitioner with perfect Ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, which meant that they had entered the life and death realm with 100% success rate. It was just that in the current Xuanhuang Continent, the number of top-tier alchemists were extremely few. A single high quality Mysterious Life and Death Pill would cause countless forces to go crazy for it.
After Tang Ao finished adjusting himself, he placed all the materials needed to refine the Mysterious Life and Death Pill into the Shen Nong Tripod. Refining Mysterious Life and Death Pill required a total of twenty-one types of spirit herbs. Normally, when a Rank 5 Spirit Pill Master refined a Mysterious Life and Death Pill, they would refine the medicinal ingredients twice. This was because the thing used to refine Mysterious Life and Death Pill was a type of spiritual medicine, where flying tobacco and Silver Radiant Flower's attributes restrained each other.
Flying tobacco was a positive spiritual herb, while the Silver Glow Flower was a negative spiritual herb. Logically speaking, these two herbs could not be used together to refine pills, but to refine a Mysterious Life and Death Pill, these two herbs were indispensable.
