The Five Realms Sacred Pill, Successfully Refined

[You couldn't figure it out.]

[Maybe the Water of Oblivion just likes bald heads. Why don't you try shaving your head next time?]

[To prevent failing to produce the Five Regions Holy Pill in future simulations, you decided to carefully inquire about what Zhenpin had experienced throughout his life.]

[Where he went at what age, and how long he stayed, all had to be figured out in complete detail.]

[You took out a specially made container and stored the Water of Oblivion inside.]

[Now, all the ultimate treasures of the Five Regions were gathered!]

[You only had to wait for Li Chengqian to deliver the Imperial Mausoleum Nether Soil, and then go to the Sword Master to get the peach, and you could refine the Five Regions Holy Pill!]

[When you and Zhenpin returned to the royal palace, you were surprised to find the Sword Master there!]

["Sect Master, why are you here?"]

["I just arrived as well."]

[The Immortal Binding Rope and a group of high-level officials from the Spiritual Artifact Nation were shivering before the Sword Master.]

[Because when suppressing the great spiritual artifact rebellion back then, the Sword Master had beaten the fear into them.]

[Other human bigshots would more or less exploit the weaknesses and characteristics of the spiritual artifacts.]

[The Sword Master just purely beat them up.]

[Don't be fooled by the Sword Master's usually gentle and kind demeanor; once a real fight started, he would let the enemy know what it meant for a single sword to freeze fourteen states!]

[The Myriad Soul Banner hadn't been beaten, but he was shrewd. In front of the Martial Saint with the strongest combat power, he didn't utter a single word of nonsense and treated him with the utmost respect.]

[The Sword Master came to deliver something to you.]

["The Five Regions and the Great Wilderness Demon Race have completely gone to war. The current situation is not optimistic. I heard the Empress and Emperor Longzhi mention you. I figured, given your relationship with those two, you shouldn't be lacking anything now except the Water of Oblivion."]

[Right now, Emperor Longzhi has already personally led an expedition to the Firmament Ridge, and Li Lingyue has long been in position.]

[So the Sword Master had seen the two of them and learned of your terrifying network of connections.]

[If this peach wasn't given to you, who else could it be given to?]

["The Water of Oblivion has also been found."]

["That's good. Take the Sword Heart Immortal Peach and the Imperial Mausoleum Nether Soil. Break through to the Soul Condensation realm as soon as possible, and come to the Firmament Ridge to help our Five Regions survive this disaster!"]

[Longzhi had originally arranged for a trusted aide to deliver the Imperial Mausoleum Nether Soil to you.]

[But the Sword Master, seeking stability, decided to deliver it personally and give you the immortal peach at the same time.]

[At this moment, all five treasures of the Five Regions were in your hands!]

["Are you lacking any auxiliary materials?"]

["Not at all! When I borrowed the pill recipe from the Pill Fragrance Valley, the Valley Master already gave me all the auxiliary materials. A full ten portions!"]

[The Pill Fragrance Valley was so generous naturally not because they were wealthy, but because Li Lingyue was standing by your side.]

["I also brought the Valley Master with me this time. He is the number one alchemist in the Five Regions today. With him refining the pill for you, presumably..."]

["There's no need, Sect Master, I can do it myself."]

["Are you sure? There is only one immortal peach, so you only have one chance."]

["Sect Master, believe me! It won't be long before the demon race will remember the fear of being dominated by me, Demon's Bane!"]

[The Sword Master smiled.]

["There is always a layer of mysterious power on you that I cannot see through... Oh well, the war at the Firmament Ridge is intense, and I should hurry back to help as soon as possible."]

["By the way, Sect Master, have you found out why the demon race made their move?"]

["It is already clear..."]

["What is it?"]

[The Sword Master sighed.]

["You should break through first. When you arrive at the Firmament Ridge, I will explain it to you in detail. The two races have already gone to war, and the dead and wounded are piling up. Regardless of who was right or wrong at the beginning, it can't be stopped now."]

[As soon as the Sword Master left, you immediately took the Myriad Soul Banner and the Demon Refining Pot, flew on your sword, and headed to the most desolate part of Western Liang.]

[You took out all the resources you had obtained from the Shen family at once.]

[Protective formations, restriction talismans, armored puppets, mechanical traps...]

[You needed to refine a pill and break through, so you needed someone to protect you.]

[Now that the demon race was attacking, everyone was very busy, so you could only rely on yourself.]

[Of course, there were also your two great immortal artifacts, as well as Da Chun.]

["Don't worry, Brother Yi, I will definitely protect you well!"]

[You began to refine the pill.]

[It was very simple.]

[Just put the materials in according to the proportions and order in the pill recipe.]

[The Nine Provinces Cauldron had a 100 percent success rate for pill formation!]

[When you threw the Imperial Mausoleum Nether Soil into the Nine Provinces Cauldron, you found this thing a bit weird.]

["Isn't it soil? But no matter how you look at it or touch it, it really feels like a piece of meat?"]

[Previously, Li Lingyue said that the Central Plains had half a Martial God, which was related to this thing, but you still didn't understand the specific connection.]

["This little girl, playing riddles with me, really sets a mood..."]

[Thinking of the three days and three nights on the Hundred Flowers Bed, you couldn't help but curl up the corners of your mouth.]

[Ignoring all that, breaking through your realm was the priority!]

[Very soon.]

[A Five Regions Holy Pill, emitting a holy light all over, its pill fragrance drifting a thousand miles away, its profound pill patterns changing constantly, and capable of floating autonomously in mid-air, was produced!]

[The normal quality of this pill should be an immortal pill.]

[Heaven-tier pills are treasure pills, and immortal pills are of even higher quality than treasure pills.]

[But now, this was refined by you, so...]

[The Enhance! trait took effect!]

[Five Regions Holy Pill Level +1!]

[Was it still an immortal pill?]

[You weren't too sure.]

[Because the Enhance! trait's Level +1 didn't necessarily add to the quality.]

[Whatever, just eat it first!]

[You placed all protective measures outside the Nine Provinces Cauldron, letting the Myriad Soul Banner and the Demon Refining Pot protect you.]

[Then you entered the small world inside the cauldron.]

[Just as you were about to swallow the Five Regions Holy Pill, you suddenly heard a timid little girl's voice.]

["Are you going to eat me?"]

[Your opened mouth closed again.]

["What the..."]

[The pill spoke!]

[The pill patterns on the surface of the Five Regions Holy Pill pieced together a cute little baby's face, blinking its eyes and looking at you.]

["Well, even though you can talk and seem to have gained sentience, but..."]

[You thought of when your hometown slaughtered pigs for the New Year, and your grandmother would often say a jingle to comfort Pigsy.]

["Pig... no, Pill, oh Pill, don't blame me, you are a medicine of the mortal realm, take off your grass clothes and change into cloth clothes, and be a gentleman in the mortal realm in your next life..."]

["Master, eat me, it's okay. I know I am a pill."]

["I thought you would be like those immortal pills written in books, running away once you gained sentience."]

["It's useless even if I run. Who could I beat? If someone else saw me, they would still eat me. Master created me, and I hope the one who eats me is Master."]

["No, you..."]

[This childish voice, even calling you Master, really made your nose tingle with emotion.]

[You closed your eyes hard, suppressing your compassion.]

["Pill, under normal circumstances you shouldn't have developed sentience. The Five Regions Holy Pill doesn't reach this grade."]

["Master, I haven't surpassed the grade defined as an immortal pill in this world. I just gained extra sentience and a little bit of extra medicinal effect."]

["What medicinal effect?"]
