The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 150: 1 Breakthrough

"Wan Fei, do you know this pill?" Fang Xuan asked curiously.

Wan Fei's body trembled slightly, and she took a deep breath to calm down, and explained to the others: "Xuan Ling Dan, a third-level middle-grade elixir. If taken by those below the ninth level of Xuan, there is a more than 90% chance of breakthrough."

"Hiss——" Fang Xuan and the others couldn't help but gasp after hearing this. A third-grade mid-grade pill! Even if they were born into aristocrats, they rarely encountered such a pill.

"Tang Yan, you just said you wanted to make pills?" Wan Fei's beautiful eyes fell on Tang Yan.

Tang Yan looked at Wan Fei deeply. He had known her for a while, but he knew nothing about her background. But judging from her conversation and knowledge, her background was not lower than Fang Xuan's, and even much higher.

"My master has taught me some knowledge about alchemy, but this is my first time refining the Xuanling Pill, so there is a certain failure rate. I will try my best to refine it. If I succeed, we can all break through together!"

"Brother Tang, you... are you an alchemist?" Du Shu widened his eyes and was shocked by Tang Yan again.

"Yeah." Tang Yan nodded with a smile.

"Damn, a third-rank alchemist! You can definitely enter the imperial city and serve the emperor. You are so young, it won't be a problem for you to reach the fourth or even fifth rank. You have to call me Lord Tang when we meet next time!" Du Shu was as jumpy as ever.

Fang Xuan's eyes were also quite shocked. He thought that there was not much difference between him and Tang Yan, but the more he understood, the more he could feel the gap between him and Tang Yan.

With the identity of a third-rank alchemist alone, he is able to walk all over the entire Tingxiang Kingdom.

"It was just luck. Please keep my identity as an alchemist a secret for me." Tang Yan smiled.

Everyone agreed, and Tang Yan found a hidden place and took out the alchemy furnace.

"Alchemy now? Not looking for the spiritual objects in heaven and earth?" Fang Xuan was a little surprised.

"The Kuanglan Gang didn't take something as important as the Heaven and Earth Spirit, and they told us so easily, which means they have no confidence in snatching it. If I'm not mistaken, there are more powerful people guarding there. It's useless for us to rush over there, so we might as well improve our strength first."

Fang Xuan and others nodded in agreement.

"You guys spread out around and don't let anyone get close." Tang Yan gave the order, and with a thought, a pile of medicinal herbs fell into Tang Yan's hands.

"Yanxiangcao, Kuoyuanhua, Xuexiang, Qinglingzi..." He skillfully threw these pills into the alchemy furnace and refined them over and over again.

With the strength of the fifth level of the Xuan Rank, it is still a bit difficult to refine this kind of medicine, but with Tang Yan's powerful experience in refining medicine, the success rate of refining the medicine has increased several times.

Tempering, extracting, blending, shaping... everything was in order. The tedious alchemy process actually turned out to be beautiful in Tang Yan's hands.

After three hours, a scent of elixir spread. Fang Xuan and the others, who were originally a little bored, were suddenly shocked. Such a strong scent of elixir must have been refined to the later stage.

After another half hour, Tang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slapped the wall of the cauldron and six pills flew into the sky.

Tang Yan had already prepared porcelain bottles. He took the pills and put them in the bottles, then corked them.

With a thought, Tang Yan put away the alchemy cauldron and walked out with a smile.

"Brother Tang, did you succeed?" Fang Xuan said excitedly when he saw Tang Yan.

"Well, these are pills." Tang Yan divided the four porcelain bottles among the others.

The four of them excitedly took the porcelain bottle. Wan Fei gave Tang Yan a complicated look and said crisply, "The Xuanling Pill is useful for warriors below the ninth level of the Xuan Rank. The value of the pill can be maximized only when it is taken by the eighth level of the Xuan Rank. Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to take it now?"

After hearing Wan Fei's words, Fang Xuan and others also looked at Tang Yan.

“It becomes more difficult to advance further into the next stage of cultivation. The eighth level of the Xuan Stage is indeed the best time to take the Xuanling Pill, but our strength is still too weak, and we can no longer care about that.

Besides, when we reach the eighth level of the Xuan Rank, perhaps we will have a greater opportunity." Tang Yan made a prompt decision.

Wan Fei and others deeply agreed with this. In the selection area, every point increase in strength means an extra layer of protection.

"Okay, then let's break through now!" Fang Xuan was very decisive.

"Let's go to a more secret place. We just refined pills here and it might attract attention. It may not be safe." Tang Yan led the four people and quickly ran towards the northwest.

After walking for dozens of miles and getting close to Shuilan Peak, Tang Yan said, "Let's break through here tonight and rush over to take a look tomorrow morning."

Surrounded by ancient trees and few people, Tang Yan and the other five found a big tree and sat on its branches. With a thought, they all swallowed the pills.

As the pill entered his body, Tang Yan felt countless spiritual energy growing and constantly infiltrating his Dantian. After a while, the entire Dantian was filled with rich spiritual energy.

He sighed inwardly that the Xuanling Pill was indeed magical, calmed his mind, and entered a state of cultivation.

"Boom!" When the spiritual energy in the Dantian accumulated more and more, it was like a natural process, directly breaking the original shackles.

Feeling his spiritual energy grow stronger, Tang Yan was overjoyed. He immediately devoted himself to tempering his meridians and consolidating his newly-advanced strength.

When Tang Yan opened his eyes, the other four had already woken up.

"Have you all made a breakthrough?" Tang Yan asked.

"Well, the Xuanling Pill is simply amazing!" Wan Fei's face was flushed as she admired it sincerely.

Fang Xuan and Du Shu were even more excited. They thought it would take several months to break through, but they did it in just a few hours.

"Then let's go to Shuilan Peak." Tang Yan suggested as he watched the sky brighten.

Naturally, everyone had no objection and headed towards Shuilan Peak together.

At noon, the five people arrived at the foot of a mountain.

"This should be the Shuilan Peak." Looking at the surrounding scenery, Tang Yan confirmed that it was exactly the same as what was recorded on the map.

This is a mountainous area with undulating hillsides around. In the middle of the hillsides is a peak, about 300 meters high, rising into the sky. Many of the rock walls on the peak are ice blue, so it is probably named Shuilan Peak after this.

Seeing the main peak, Tang Yan couldn't help but frown. The mountain's rock walls were extremely smooth, with few footholds, and it was extremely difficult to climb up.

Du Shu couldn't help but complain: "This is not a mountain, it's just a pillar."

"If you want to go up, you must have a weapon to carve out a few footholds on the mountain, but this is a physically demanding job." Wan Fei frowned slightly and proposed a method to reach the peak.

"That kid wouldn't lie to us, right? How does he know there are magical creatures up there? Has he been there before?" Du Shu muttered.

Tang Yan kept looking at the mountain and found that it was really difficult to find a foothold and it was not easy to go up.

However, he did not doubt that Zhang Peng's information was false. There were indeed spiritual objects of heaven and earth in this place, because the Cauldron of Creation of Heaven and Earth had already become active in his body.

Although he really wanted to go up and take a look, Tang Yan did not act in a hurry because he had already sensed two extremely powerful divine thoughts sweeping over him.

"My friends, this place is extremely important to our Xianjian Gang. I hope you will leave first." A young man came from a distance and bowed to Tang Yan and others.

Although he seemed polite, the arrogance in his eyes clearly showed that he did not take Tang Yan and the others seriously.
