Chapter 244: A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill!

"Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan, a seventh-grade medicinal pill!" Gu He spoke softly. "It's refined from the magical cores of two sixth-order dragon-type magical beasts that died no more than seven days ago."

"Dragon…" Hearing Gu He's introduction to the pill, Zi Yan's heart suddenly lit up with understanding.

Noticing the change in Zi Yan's expression, Gu He guessed that the dragon essence contained within the Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan must have resonated faintly with Zi Yan's bloodline.

"Take this Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan. This pill might have the effect of rebirth from Nirvana!"

After learning about the effects of the pill, Zi Yan took a deep breath and then fiercely stuffed the Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan into her mouth. Before she could even chew, the golden pill turned into a stream of warmth that poured into her body through her throat.

The surging warmth, like a flood, overwhelmingly entered her body. Feeling this powerful energy, Zi Yan became a bit nervous and calmed her mind, waiting for the medicine's power to erupt.

However, after Zi Yan prepared herself, the expected explosion of medicinal power did not occur. The surging warmth, like water flowing into a sponge, gradually settled until it completely disappeared.

"Eh!"

Gradually opening her eyes, Zi Yan looked up and down at her motionless body and mumbled, "Teacher, why didn't I feel any reaction after swallowing the Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan? It's like drinking a cup of plain water!"

"What reaction were you expecting? The Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan isn't a pill for boosting strength. Its primary function is to establish a foundation after breaking the old one… The medicinal power has permeated your body. If you face a life and death situation in the future and are fortunate enough to activate it, you will naturally receive unimaginable benefits. For now, consider it as drinking plain water," Gu He said somewhat amusedly, seeing Zi Yan's somewhat dejected expression.

"Is there really no other effect?" Zi Yan mumbled.

"There is, indeed!"

"It's just that such things usually require focused…"

Gu He intended to explain further, but Zi Yan suddenly exclaimed with surprise, "There really is something else."

"Just now, when I checked my internal condition, I found a strand of strange energy in my meridians. This energy is extremely similar to the energy already in my body, but it seems a bit more powerful."

Hearing this, Gu He internally sighed, "Worthy of the Taixu Ancient Dragon's bloodline, which is even higher than that of a sixth-order dragon-type magical beast. She naturally absorbed the dragon essence so effortlessly."

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Gu He's mind.

"Ding, the host has given the fifth disciple, Zi Yan, a seventh-grade medicinal pill, Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan. Congratulations to the host for receiving a ten-thousand-fold return, obtaining a ninth-grade treasure pill, the Nine-Colored Xuan Ming Dan!"

"Ding, the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, Nine-Colored Xuan Ming Dan, has been credited to the system space. Please check it, host."

A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill!

Hearing the system's notification, Gu He was incredibly excited. This was the first time he had obtained such a high-grade medicinal pill.

His mind eagerly delved into the system space, where a chicken egg-sized pill, swirling with nine colors, floated amidst a misty white fog.

Nine-Colored Xuan Ming Dan: A ninth-grade treasure pill. Upon consumption, its vast medicinal power accumulates in a certain part of the body, automatically activating in case of severe injury. Even if decapitated or reduced to bones, rapid recovery is possible (the effect significantly decreases for Dou Di and above realms). The consumer will also have nine opportunities to enhance their cultivation level, with each of the nine different medicinal forces triggering uniquely each time.

Upon hearing the system's voice, Gu He's spirits soared.

Having this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill was akin to having an extra life. Furthermore, the nine opportunities it provided for cultivation enhancement could potentially create a cultivation genius.

However, having consumed the Undying Flame and absorbed the power of the Phoenix's essence blood, Gu He already wielded the power of Nirvana, making the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill seem somewhat superfluous. Moreover, the nine opportunities for cultivation enhancement seemed of limited use to someone with his advantages.

With this in mind, Gu He decided not to use the Nine-Colored Xuan Ming Dan himself but to save it as a gift for Yun Yun when he returned.

With this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill in hand, Yun Yun would not only be able to rapidly enhance her cultivation but also have an additional means of surviving life-and-death crises.

Having made up his mind, Gu He withdrew his consciousness from the system space.

...

"Zi Yan, I have one last welcome gift for you," Gu He announced.

Hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes lit up with anticipation, and she obediently closed her eyes.

Gu He expertly placed his palm on Zi Yan's crown and then used a technique to transmit the Aurora Palm, a low-tier Earth-level martial skill he had acquired from the Black Horn Region, to Zi Yan.

Before Zi Yan could react, she felt a vast influx of information pouring into her mind.

She concentrated and calmly absorbed this vast array of information.

After a moment, Zi Yan had fully assimilated the knowledge.

Simultaneously, another system notification echoed in Gu He's mind.

"Ding! It has been detected that the host has imparted the low-tier Earth-level martial skill Aurora Fist to the fifth disciple, Zi Yan. Congratulations to the host for receiving a ten-thousand-fold return, obtaining the low-tier Heaven-level martial skill Tian Xuan Palm."

"The low-tier Heaven-level martial skill Tian Xuan Palm has been credited to the system space. Please check it, host."

Heaven-level martial skill, Tian Xuan Palm!

Seeing the reward returned to him, Gu He contemplated. This martial skill would be suitable for him to use against opponents without revealing his trump cards.

"Thank you, teacher!"

After receiving these three welcome gifts from Gu He, Zi Yan's attitude towards him had evolved beyond merely wanting to consume a medicinal pill.

Gu He's method of imparting energy and skills made Zi Yan find him very mysterious and deeply moved her.

Thus, her gaze towards Gu He was now filled with respect.

Seeing Zi Yan's well-behaved appearance, Gu He touched her little head with a sense of satisfaction, slowly saying, "Zi Yan, as I mentioned before, my disciples will receive rewards for any breakthroughs in their cultivation."

"More rewards?" Hearing Gu He's words, Zi Yan's face lit up with anticipation, but then she became somewhat despondent after giving it more thought.

"I'm now at the peak of the fifth order. Breaking through would mean reaching the sixth order!"

"Wuwu... How long will that take?"

Suddenly, Zi Yan tugged at Gu He's trousers, crying out in a childish voice.
