After making arrangements for everything, Jiang Yiming went back to the medicine pavilion.

His spiritual energy circulated in the cauldron.

‘The fragrance of pills was wafting, and the entire sect was filled with a mystical fragrance.

‘The pill-refining technique that the system had provided upon his leveling up was quite good.

It had already helped him avoid many detours on the path of pill-refining.

Jiang Yiming gradually grasped the knack of refining the Juqi pill that was used to assist in cultivation, as well as the Returning pill that could be used to heal injured. His control over the spiritual energy in the cauldron had also become more proficient.

After the pill recipes had been upgraded by the Celestial King’s Privilege, the pills that he refined were at the third grade.

In this world, medicinal pills were just like the cultivation realms. They were differentiated into different grades.

The highest grade of pills was the tenth-grade pills that only existed in legends.

To advance the pill-refining technique and obtain pills of a higher grade, the effort required was not inferior to achieving advancement in cultivation realms.Jiang Yiming, on the other hand, had only studied for a day and was already able to refine a third-grade pill.

If those pill refiners who had put in so much effort but could still only refine first-grade or second-grade pills knew, they would probably faint.

‘The Returning pill was already slowly taking shape in the cauldron before him.

He had prepared this for his eldest disciple. Although Gu Lingfei had regained consciousness, his internal organs were still impacted.

If he were to recover quickly, he needed some external help.

Jiang Yiming got up and went to Gu Lingfei’s room. He saw Gu Lingfei sitting on the bed with his legs crossed and was cultivating.

“Master!” When he saw Jiang Yiming push the door open and enter, Gu Lingfei quickly got up and stretched his body.

“Master! I’m really fine now! The sect protection array is really powerful! I’m just a mere Core Formation cultivator, but with the help of the array, I was able to withstand the self-detonation of an Incarnation Realm cultivator!”

Seeing Gu Lingfei talking excitedly while gesturing before him, Jiang Yiming smiled and secretly used his spiritual energy.

“Master, with this injury, I actually feel that my cultivation has improved. It seems to be a little… Oh, Master, what did you feed me just now?”

Between the few seconds that Gu Lingfei’s mouth opened and closed, Jiang Yiming had already stuffed the Returning pill into his mouth.

As the pill entered his stomach, a gentle Qi immediately flowed from his stomach and spread to his four limbs and meridians!

The essential Qi quickly circulated in his entire body and finally exited from his seven orifices.

With this, the damaged parts of his body had been completely repaired. Following that, he felt a sense of comfort that he had never felt before.

“M-master?” Gu Lingfei looked at Jiang Yiming in shock.

“How is it? How do you feel?”

“Master, I feel… I feel that something isn’t right. This is…”

Jiang Yiming’s expression tensed up. How was this possible?

He had clearly experimented countless times, and the Returning pill that he had refined in the end could definitely be considered the highest grade among the high-grade ones!

Could it be that the system had given him the wrong pill recipe?!

Jiang Yiming reached out to feel Gu Lingfei’s pulse, and his spiritual energy gushed out.

‘There was energy accumulating within Gu Lingfei’s body!

Look how frightened he had been!

He had thought that something bad was going to happen, but it turns out Gu Lingfei was merely going to breakthrough!

After yesterday’s battle, as well as his pill that had sped up Gu Lingfei’s recovery, the matter had turned into an opportunity for Gu Lingfei to make a breakthrough!

“This is great! I’ll help you!” Jiang Yiming beamed with joy. The disciples he had taken in were all top-notch geniuses!

The turbulent spiritual energy swirled in Gu Lingfei’s body, attacking his acupoints.

“Condense the Qi into your body! Achieve unity with the Heavens! Don’t worry about breaking through the acupoints! I’m here!” His Master’s voice rang in his ears, and Gu Lingfei’s heart calmed down.

He further compressed the violent spiritual energy!

It wasn’t enough! Not yet!

“Uh… Ah!” Accompanied by Gu Lingfei’s roars, a burst of energy exploded with his body as the center.

Jiang Yiming reacted quickly as he let out the spiritual energy in his body to counteract the explosive energy.

Gu Lingfei slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His eyes were filled with a pleasant surprise!

With this, he had reached the late stage of the Core Formation Realm!

On top of that, it was the peak of the late stage!

Between breathing and exhaling, Gu Lingfei could already feel that he had vaguely touched the edge of the Nascent Soul Realm!

“Master, I’m about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm! What on Earth did you give me to eat?! I won’t eat any more meals in the future, I’ll just take this!”

“Lonly gave you a pill to help your body recover. It was you who seized the opportunity when recovering from your injuries after yesterday’s battle!” Looking at the extremely excited Gu Lingfei before him, Jiang Yiming smiled.

“Besides, pills should only be used as an assistance. If you plan to rely on taking pills every day to cultivate, then let alone the instability of your foundation, you’ll be unlucky if your body can’t withstand the medicinal properties and you’ll explode.”

“Hey, Master! I was just joking! Oh right, how are the junior brothers and sisters?”

“They’re all fine. Now that you’ve just advanced to the late stage of the Core Formation Realm, hurry up and use your Qi to cultivate. Tomorrow, I’ll prepare pills to support all of your cultivations.”

‘Walking out of Gu Lingfei’s room, Jiang Yiming was also unable to contain his joy.

Now, he only needed to complete the attack-type pill, namely the Hunyuan pill, and he would be able to complete his main mission tomorrow!

‘The Hunyuna pill’s production method was basically the same as the other two. After having the experience of producing pills, he quickly completed the production of the Hunyuan pill as well.

The scarlet-red pill before him had a faintly discernible violent aura!

Unlike the other two supplementary-type medicinal pills, this kind of pill truly gave off a domineering aura!

If he let his disciples consume it, it would still be quite worrying.Thinking about this, Jiang Yiming sent the Hunyuan pill into his mouth with his spiritual energy.

In the medicine pavilion, Jiang Yiming’s eyes suddenly flew open, and his pupils gradually turned blood red!

His originally calm spiritual energy was now all churning up!

Not only was his spiritual energy churning, but it was also continuously rising!

If he didn’t use the spiritual energy, his body would probably explode!

‘The world in his eyes gradually turned blood red, and the murderous aura in his body was actually soaring at this moment!

Jiang Yiming hurriedly adjusted his breathing, and used all the spiritual energy in his body to desperately resist the terrifying murderous aura!

Memories flashed in his mind one after another, and the scenes of the sect being bullied before all appeared in his mind!

This was the domineering aspect of the pill.

The most terrifying aspect of it was not that it would make one’s spiritual energy soar, but the fact that it would continuously magnify the murderous intent of the user!
