Chapter 167: Birth of a Mystic Grade Pill, Spirit Manifestation Realm Breakthrough
The blood-red spark danced above Rhain’s fingertip.
Swish!
With a gentle wave of his hand, the Red Tribulations Heavenly Flame shot beneath the dark-gold Epic-Grade cauldron.
At the same time, Rhain’s dark grey eyes shifted into a brilliant golden hue as the Eyes of Truth activated.
With a calm focus, he raised his hand, and the carefully prepared auxiliary Epic-Grade materials flew into the vessel.
Under the tyrannical suppression of the Heavenly-Grade Red Tribulation flame and his vast Soul Power, all the secondary herbs melted into pure liquid essence in a matter of seconds. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
But that was just the appetizer.
Rhain’s gaze shifted to the final, most crucial ingredient hovering beside him.
Mystic-Grade herb. Spirit-Ascension Star Lily.
"Let’s see exactly how much trouble a Mystic-Grade material can give me.’
With a flick of his finger, the Star Lily shot directly into the blazing cauldron.
The moment the herb made contact with the blood-red flame—
BOOM!
A violent backlash of spiritual energy erupted from within the cauldron.
The Epic-Grade cauldron shook intensely, lifting a full inch off the ground as if a wild beast were trapped inside, desperately trying to break free.
Rhain’s expression changed.
’What a terrifying resistance!’
Star Lily completely refused to melt.
Instead, it actively fought back, unleashing a storm of star force that clashed furiously against his Heavenly Flame.
"Suppress it!" Rhain gritted his teeth.
He unleashed his vast, ocean-like Soul Power, pouring it entirely into the cauldron to forcefully lock down the turbulent energies.
But refining a Mystic-Grade material was fundamentally different from anything he had done before.
It was a brutal tug-of-war against the life force of a Mystic grade herb, and his own heavenly flame.
Sweat began to bead on Rhain’s forehead, sliding down his sharp jawline.
Hours slipped by.
The dark night passed, bringing the soft light of earliest dawn.
Rhain hadn’t moved a single inch, but his face had grown visibly paler.
His Soul Power was being drained at an unprecedented rate.
It felt as if his very consciousness was being placed on an anvil and pounded with a heavy hammer.
But he refused to yield.
Backed by his resolve, and the monstrous resilience of the Abyssal Sovereign Physique, he endured the agonizing mental strain, continuing to forcefully crush the Star Lily’s resistance until it finally began to melt, fusing with the other medicinal liquids.
"Now!"
Rhain’s dark grey eyes flashed with a brighter golden hue.
He could see the swirling astral essence in the cauldron.
The ingredients had now mixed perfectly.
He directed all his remaining, exhausted Soul Power to stabilize the astral energies and seal the pill.
Clang!
The dark-gold lid was blown forcefully into the air.
A blinding streak of starlight shot out of the cauldron, illuminating chamber with an otherworldly glow.
Rhain reached out swiftly, his hand snapping shut around the streak of light.
He slowly opened his hand.
Resting in his palm was a single, flawlessly round pill.
Rhain let out a long, heavy, exhausted exhale.
His robes were soaked with sweat, and his head throbbed with a dull ache, but a victorious smirk brushed past his lips.
The pills did not possess the mesmerizing, swirling patterns of a Pill Vein.
Even with his Grandmaster Alchemist Inheritance, his current Soul Power was simply too low to perfectly carve a Pill Vein onto a Mystic-Grade elixir.
But its surface was as translucent and captivating as a piece of frozen starlight, radiating a spiritual fragrance so profound that just taking a single breath instantly soothed his aching mind.
A Flawless Mystic-Grade Elixir.
If the ancient, white-haired alchemists of the continent ever caught wind of what he had just done, they would probably cough up blood and die from sheer shock!
In the entire history of alchemy, refining a Mystic-Grade pill was a feat that required multiple attempts, an army of assistants, and decades of preparation.
Most Master Alchemists failed dozens of times before producing even a flawed result.
Yet Rhain had succeeded on his very first attempt.
A Grandmaster Alchemist who could refine a Mystic-Grade pill in a single try — and an Essence Condensation cultivator, no less.
"Perhaps I am the only one in this world," Rhain mused with a smile.
He stared deeply at the starlight-infused pill in his hand.
He could feel the vast, boundless spiritual power locked within that tiny sphere.
It was like holding a concentrated sun.
"Consuming this will push my Soul Power into an entirely unfathomable dimension," Rhain murmured, his eyes shining with intense anticipation.
It was precisely what he needed to finally bridge the gap to the Spirit Manifestation Realm.
Without hesitation, Rhain tossed the luminous pill into his mouth.
The moment the starlight-infused pill slid down his throat...
BOOM!
It detonated like a supernova directly within his consciousness with a boundless wave of energy. freёwebnovel.com
The dull ache of exhaustion from refining the pill was instantly washed away by an overwhelming, surging tide of pure soul force.
His previously vast spiritual sea began to expand at a logic-breaking speed.
It expanded ten times. A hundred times.
It was a sensation of ascending to the very heavens.
His Soul Power skyrocketed, breaking through the mortal shackles, elevating into an entirely new, transcendent realm that infinitely approached the level of a Domain Master.
After several long minutes, the storm within him finally subsided into a profound calmness.
Rhain slowly opened his eyes.
A piercing light flashed deep within his dark grey pupils as if he could see through all the truths of the world before vanishing without a trace.
He sat perfectly still, experiencing an unprecedented feeling.
He didn’t dare to fully extend his Spiritual Sense within the confines of the Academy — the disturbance would be far too noticeable.
But he could feel it.
He was absolutely certain that if he fully unleashed his newly expanded spiritual sea, his perception could effortlessly cover a staggering radius of at least a thousand miles.
Every rustling leaf, every shifting cloud, every heartbeat of a man a thousand miles away would be as clear to him as if it were happening right in the palm of his hand.
’Even if this level of Spiritual Sense cannot perfectly match that of a Domain Master Realm expert, it is definitely not far behind,’ Rhain evaluated inwardly.
A satisfied smile touched Rhain’s lips.
"Now," he murmured, "I am finally ready."
With his spritual sense magnified to an unimaginable degree, the final barrier holding back his physical cultivation instantly lost its meaning.
Now was the time to breakthrough to Spirit Manifestation Realm.
Rhain focused his mind and linked his consciousness to the Spirit Gathering Profound Banner buried deep within the subterranean spiritual vein beneath his courtyard.
He bypassed its passive draw and forcefully cranked the Mystic-Grade artifact to its absolute maximum capacity.
RUMBLE—!
The hidden banner vibrated wildly.
Within seconds, an abnormally massive volume of pure essence was sucked from the earth, funneled entirely into Rhain’s private cultivation chamber.
As a result, the essence density instantly skyrocketed to an absurd degree.
Countless glowing droplets of pure spiritual energy formed a literal vortex in the room, centering entirely on Rhain’s body.
But Rhain was not finished.
With a flick of his wrist, several exquisite jade bottles materialized from his spatial ring.
These were the flawless, Pill-Veined Epic-Grade elixirs he had meticulously refined over the past few weeks and had kept specifically for this exact moment.
To any other genius in the Inner Province, preparing just one of these pills for a major breakthrough was a luxury beyond imagination.
They would consume it with the utmost care, spending days to absorb its large amount of essence.
Rhain simply popped the corks off all the bottles.
Without even bothering to look at them, he tilted his head back and dumped a whole handful of the glowing, Pill-Veined Epic-Grade elixirs directly into his mouth like cheap candies.
He swallowed all of them at once.
