Just by smelling the fragrance, Elder Yi Potian was certain that this was the super "Life-Giving Pill" that Lin Yao had mentioned, and it was definitely not an ordinary product.
Yi Potian only kept two of these super "life-saving pills," and Lin Yao asked them to take them back with them when the disabled members of the Yi family returned to Yanji after they had all been rescued.
At that time, Yi Potian had his son, Yi Yang, the current head of the Yi family, use one. The effect was so good that if Yi Yang's true qi cultivation was not insufficient, he could have improved his power even more, bringing him closer to the peak of the Earth level.
Of course, there are several reasons for Yi Yang's achievements. First, he has extraordinary talent and is far superior to Yi Fei in terms of physical talent, even to all the current members of the Yi family. It is only because of his age and the burden of complicated family affairs that he is unable to surpass Yi Fei.
However, with his talent and Yi Potian's generous feeding of numerous pills provided by Lin Yao, Yi Yang's strength improved dramatically through his life-risking cultivation. Yi Potian felt it was only natural to give him unlimited pills; even if Yi Yang wasn't the head of the Yi family, it was still the right way to evaluate his son. Who would want their own son to be inferior? Besides, a weak head of the Yi family would be beneath the family's dignity.
The effects of the super "Life-Giving Pill" far surpass those of the ordinary "Life-Giving Pill," a fact already confirmed by Lin Yao. Yi Potian, who is sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, was pleasantly surprised to discover that he could sense the aura of spiritual energy from this super pill, which is why he attached even more importance to it. This is also why he directly gave a super "Life-Giving Pill" to Yi Yang, euphemistically calling it a "test drug."
In Yi Potian's judgment, if he could provide an unlimited supply of super "Life-Giving Pills", Yi Dao and Yi Fei, the two peak Earth-level experts, would eventually be able to comprehend the secrets of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and break through to the Heaven-level. This shows how important spiritual energy-rich pills are in Yi Potian's mind.
The pill Lin Yao took out was now a super "Life-Giving Pill". Yi Potian immediately understood the miserable state of Lin Yao, who was covered in sweat, that he had seen earlier. He thought to himself that it must have been hard work to refine such a spiritual pill, and it must have cost Lin Yao a lot. He was even more grateful to Lin Yao.
"Elder An, what are you standing there for? Quickly sit down and meditate, then take your medicine and practice your skills." Yi Potian saw that Yi An was still staring blankly at the pills he had received, and thought to himself, "You lucky fellow, hurry up and take your medicine, don't keep the master waiting."
After meditating and taking medicine, Yi calmed his mind and began his cultivation.
A tremendous pressure suddenly appeared in the prefab house, carrying an ancient desolation and chilling aura, which surprised Elder Yi Potian and Lin Yao.
A whirlwind suddenly appeared inside the prefab house, blowing the remaining futon around and making it tumble and swirl. Dust from the ground was also swept into the air. Fortunately, there was no furniture or utensils placed here, otherwise, it would probably have required internal energy to resist these things.
What happened?
Lin Yao immediately activated his senses to investigate the cause in detail.
He sensed a mysterious power, similar to witchcraft, emanating from Yi An's body, causing changes in the air in the room. This power felt different from witchcraft; it was faint yet violent, similar to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the kind of energy that Yi Potian and Jiang Chengen used to launch attacks.
Perhaps this is the state of magical power after it has been converted into real power. It's quite an unexpected surprise that such a small pill could contain so much magical power with such a powerful effect. However, Lin Yao still can't figure out how to generate controllable power from magical power; this will have to be explored through future practice.
At this moment, Yi An felt like her body was about to explode. An unknown force filled her whole body, and every muscle and bone was trembling violently, as if it was about to leave her body.
Having decades of cultivation experience, Yi An remained calm. He knew that there was a Heavenly-level expert, the Grand Elder, and an even more mysterious master nearby who would ensure his safety. Therefore, all his feelings and reactions were normal; he simply needed to continue practicing.
It hurts! Ignore it!
Excruciating pain! Ignore it!
Yi An tried her best to control her inner energy and circulated it according to the cultivation path of the "Yi Jin Jue" (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique), gradually entering a state of selflessness.
"Sir..." Elder Yi Potian looked at Lin Yao with some concern, but did not continue speaking. At this moment, Yi An's nose was bleeding, and his closed eyes were bulging.
"It's alright, don't worry. This is the witch's power transforming Elder An's body. He can handle it." Lin Yao stared intently at Yi An, responding calmly to Yi Potian's concern. "When I say stop, immediately take control of Elder An and completely suppress the true energy within him. Leave the rest to me."
"Okay." Yi Potian agreed briefly, feeling relieved.
As long as it's under Master's control, it should be fine. It seems that this is just a matter of dosage. I estimate that even if there are pills with witchcraft in them in the future, Master will definitely reduce their effects.
It can directly modify the body with witch power, and the aura it releases is astonishing even to itself. Although its total amount is very weak, its level is very high.
Yi Potian observed the situation while analyzing it in his mind. Things at a higher level are completely different in nature; even a small amount can have a significant effect.
"Good luck, Yi'an! Why isn't Yang'er here to test the medicine?" Yi Potian muttered to himself, thinking about how to get a new type of "Life-Giving Pill" for Yi Yang later. He was also worried that the master next to him would no longer refine this kind of pill. After all, he had seen the state of sweating profusely before, and he estimated that there would be a great loss.
At this moment, Lin Yao was free of distractions, focusing solely on observing the changes in Yi An's body. He saw the witch power within the pill rapidly emanating, transforming into another state, tempering Yi An's body. Judging from his trembling appearance, he was probably in great pain, but the benefits he would gain later would be significant, because this kind of transformation from the inside out was far more thorough and efficient than using witch medicine to temper the body.
"Alright, that's all for now." Lin Yao's words interrupted Yi Potian's thoughts. "His bones and flesh are stronger, and his realm hasn't changed, but I think he should be closer to the peak of the Earth Realm. We'll talk about that later."
As soon as Lin Yao finished speaking, Yi An opened her eyes and thanked him with her face covered in blood, saying, "Thank you, sir. I am deeply grateful for your kindness in this perilous situation."
"It's good that you're alright, Juwei. Go and wash up quickly," Elder Yi Potian said with concern, his eyes full of relief.
Juwei was Yi'an's courtesy name. Using his courtesy name so formally to refer to himself represented a high level of respect. At this moment, blood was seeping from the corners of his eyes, both nostrils, and both ears. However, this blood was from the previous body modification and had stopped bleeding on its own, but his condition still made him look very pitiful and miserable.
"If we are to give this kind of pill to the Yi family members in the future, one pill will be given to every seventy people at the early stage of Earth Rank, one pill to every thirty people at the middle stage, and only one-tenth of a pill will be used each time at the peak stage." Lin Yao summarized as if talking to himself, which made Yi Potian's heart skip a beat. He wondered if his master was not planning to continue refining this kind of pill?
Hearing Lin Yao's words, Yi An was overjoyed. He thought that the people who tested the medicine would indeed benefit greatly. Not to mention whether other members of the Yi family would have the opportunity to enjoy this medicine in the future, the standard set by the teacher just now has made others lose a lot of benefits for no reason. Even Yi Gong can only get one-tenth of the benefits. It depends on whether he will be allowed to continue taking it in the future. Otherwise, the benefits that Yi Gong gets will never exceed those of himself.
"The Grand Elder is going to negotiate with the Master. It's not convenient for me to get involved in this. It'll be easier for them to discuss things if there's one less person." Yi An thought to himself and immediately decided to take a shower. He didn't see the condition on his face, but he could feel it. He guessed that he was bleeding. Just from the feeling of the explosion all over his body, he wondered what the aftereffects might be. He also wanted to take off his clothes to see the changes in his body.
She stood up, kicked her legs, and rushed towards the door.
With a bang, the experienced Yi An slammed into the door, punching a large hole in the already flimsy PVC prefabricated door. The door frame was deformed, and it seemed the prefabricated house was beyond repair.
Ah~~~
A gasp came from outside the door, and then a figure rushed back into the prefab house. The figure, unable to stop, was stopped by Elder Yi Potian with a wave of his sleeve. "What are you doing? You're so unsteady! The master is here."
"Ah! I'm sorry, sir, I came in specifically to apologize." Yi An's expression was somewhat tense, and coupled with the blood all over his face, he looked even more pitiful. "My strength suddenly increased, and I couldn't control it for a moment. I offended you, sir. Please forgive me."
"Is that so?" Yi Potian interjected in surprise, speaking before Lin Yao could even reply. This was too shocking for him; Yi An was an "old man" who had cultivated for decades, and such a situation should never have occurred in his control of his body.
"Hehe, it's alright." Lin Yao responded to Yi An's apology first, and then turned to look at Elder Yi Potian. "The Miao witch is modifying the body, not the true qi. After the body becomes much stronger, the power has changed dramatically. It's normal that Elder An can't control his body for a while. After all, he used to control his limbs with true qi. Now it's a different situation. I guess he'll get used to it after a while."
“Ah~, sir, then this kind of medicine…” Yi Potian’s eyes lit up with eagerness, but he stopped talking as he looked at Lin Yao.
"Not many, it depends on the situation," Lin Yao replied after a moment's thought.
It really depends on the situation. The pseudo-elixir fire will mainly be used to help Xiaocao refine pills in the future. We'll refine whatever pills she needs. As for the attached free-floating witch power, she can absorb it herself if she can, but if not, we can't just send it into the pills.
Unlike medicinal energy, the magical power within pills cannot be controlled by one's own healing energy. Therefore, pills infused with magical power would either be consumed by oneself or by members of the Yi family, and it would be completely unnecessary for one to be present and protect the Yi family members while they consume them.
He couldn't use such pills to make money off foreigners. Firstly, he wasn't confident in controlling them yet and didn't know what kind of impact the witchcraft in the pills would have on the patients. Secondly, he didn't want to permanently alter the bodies of foreigners when treating them; he had no such obligation.
After apologizing again, Yi An happily went to take a shower. He knew that the Grand Elder was going to seek benefits for the Yi family, and he needed to get out of there as soon as possible.
"Sir, do you still have this kind of pill?" Elder Yi Potian directly stated his request. He knew Lin Yao well and knew that there was no need to say anything more.
