Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Ten Millionfold Return, Ninth
Grade Elixir Pills! (Extra Chapter for Rain)
“Now, our only option is to bring Xia back to the Sect and see if Master can save
her,”
“Next, I will look after Xia.”
“Where has Lu Changsheng gone?”
“He might have gone to find a solution.”
“We can’t blame him for this, but even with an Immortal Artifact, he cannot
revive Xia.”
Xiao Meng’er shook her head.
The crowd at Inquiry Immortal Pavilion fell silent.
Lu Changsheng summoned his disciple Lin Qingzhi and began refining
Immortal Pills.
There were only three chances to bestow rewards each day.
Xia Ningxue’s soul had scattered, and only Soul-Returning Pills or Soul Supplement Pills could potentially save her.
As Soul Supplement Pills were sixth-grade Elixirs, bestowing them on Lin Qingzhi of the Nascent Soul Realm wouldn’t yield any reward in return.
“I can only bestow a third-grade Soul-Returning Pill now.”
Lu Changsheng knew how slim the chances were of a third-grade Elixir being rewarded with a ninth-grade Immortal Pill, similar to the odds of someone stepping out of their house and being hit by a meteorite.
[Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple “Lin Qingzhi” a third-grade Elixir “Soul-Returning Pill” and received a thousandfold return reward: a sixthgrade Elixir “Soul Supplement Pill”.]
[Ding, the number of bestowals available for today has decreased by 1.]
Lu Changsheng had used one bestowal opportunity.
This time it was a thousandfold return, a third-grade Elixir yielding a sixthgrade Elixir, which under normal circumstances would have satisfied Lu Changsheng.
But it was not enough this time.
Lu Changsheng bestowed another Soul-Returning Pill.
[Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple “Lin Qingzhi” a third-grade Elixir “Soul-Returning Pill” and received a ten-thousandfold return reward: a seventh-grade Elixir “Nine Nether Soul Gathering Pill”.]
[Ding, the number of bestowals available for today has decreased by 1.]
The second bestowal was a ten-thousandfold return.
To have even one ten-thousandfold return in ten bestowals was already quite
extraordinary.
However, the seventh-grade Elixir “Nine Nether Soul Gathering Pill” was still
not enough to revive Xia Ningxue.
If the Nine Nether Soul Gathering Pill were effective, Lu Changsheng would not
have had to specifically refine Immortal Pills.
Over the years, Lu Changsheng had accumulated quite a few seventh-grade
Elixirs.
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
Today, there was only one last chance for a return on his bestowal.
Lu Changsheng did not hold much hope.
The probability of a third-grade Elixir returning a ninth-grade Elixir was
negligible.
If it really didn’t work out, he would prepare a batch of fifth-grade Soul- Returning type Elixirs and try to attain ninth-grade Immortal Pills later.
Bestowing a fifth-grade Elixir for a return of a ninth-grade Elixir had a slightly higher chance, but only slightly.
Alternatively, once his disciple reached the Dao Palace Realm, he could bestow sixth-grade or seventh-grade Elixirs to revive Xia Ningxue then.
Lu Changsheng had little expectation for the last chance to reward a third-
grade Elixir.
“For the last time, I bestow upon you a Soul-Returning Pill.”
[Ding, you have bestowed upon your disciple “Lin Qingzhi” a third-grade Elixir “Soul-Returning Pill” and received a ten-millionfold return reward: a ninthgrade Elixir “Gathering Soul Pill”.]
[Ding, the number of bestowals available for today has decreased by 1.]
What?!
Lu Changsheng had thought there was no hope left, but unexpectedly he encountered a ten-millionfold return for the first time, with a third-grade Elixir yielding a ninth-grade Immortal Pill!
This was a ten-millionfold return reward!
In Lu Changsheng’s Dao Palace Realm appeared a pure white and flawless Immortal Vase, clearly holding the ninth- grade Gathering Soul Pill within.
[Gathering Soul Pill: a ninth-grade Elixir, used in the Immortal Realm for disciples and descendants below the Void Refinement Realm to revive the dead. Even if the Three Souls and Seven Spirits have dissipated, it can still recall them and condense the Primordial Spirit. It cannot gather the souls of those stronger than the Void Refinement Realm.]
“Excellent.”
Lu Changsheng was ecstatic.
This time, fate really smiled upon him, and with just three chances, he had obtained a ninth-grade Elixir.
Xia Ningxue was at the Dao Palace Realm, which made her just suitable for
using the Gathering Soul Pill.
Xiao Meng’er picked up Xia Ningxue, preparing to take her with the group from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
“Fairy Xiao, waita moment,”
Lu Changsheng came back with Lin Qingzhi.
“Hmm?”
“I have a way to save her.”
“Really?!”
Zeng Yeqiu, Xiao Meng’er, Ku Mu, and other elders of the Inquiry Immortal
Pavilion were greatly astonished.
They were all at a loss; did Lu Changsheng really have a way?
“If you can save Xia, then you will be our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s eternal friend,”
Zeng Yeqiu said earnestly.
Xia Ningxue was extremely important to the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, the disciple most valued by the Pavilion Master.
The losses suffered by the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion in this exploration of the Immortal Ruins were considerable, but saving Xia Ningxue could at least make up for half of them.
“Mhm.”
Lu Changsheng nodded gravely.
Xiao Meng’er laid Xia Ningxue back down on the ground, and Lu Changsheng took out a flawless jade bottle from his embrace.
“Could it be…”
Xiao Meng’er’s bright eyes rippled with surprise.
If Lu Changsheng was confident he could save Xia Ningxue, then the jade bottle might contain a ninth-grade Immortal Pill.
However, was this something a Dao Palace Realm cultivator could bring out?
Yet, not long before, Lu Changsheng had taken out an Immortal Artifact; it was not impossible for him to produce a ninth-grade Immortal Pill.
But this couldn’t be just any ninth-grade Immortal Pill; it had to be one that could reassemble the scattered soul.
Despite the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s two-hundred-thousand-year foundation, they could procure ninth-grade Immortal Pills, yet they lacked the Gathering Soul Pill.
Lu Changsheng opened the stopper, and a wisp of Immortal Qi escaped, filling the onlookers with a sense of being in an Immortal Realm, as their pores relaxed.
Nature’s spiritual energy within a thousand miles, like a sea of clouds, rushed frantically towards this place. The spot where the Mount Shu group and those from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion stood became filled with dense spiritual energy, as if it had been transformed into a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
The commotion caused by this Immortal Pill was too terrifying.
“It really is a ninth-grade Immortal Pill!”
The Dao Palace Realm elders present were repeatedly shocked, and they were prepared not to be surprised anymore by whatever happened next.
“I hope Xia Ningxue’s Lingwa Holy Body can withstand the medicinal power of the ninth-grade Immortal Pill.”
Lu Changsheng picked up Xia Ningxue, personally fed her the Gathering Soul Pill, and used his True Qi to help her refine the Immortal Pill’s medicinal power.
Although the Gathering Soul Pill was a ninth-grade Immortal Pill, it was comparatively gentle, unlike such domineering eighth-grade elixir pills as the Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill.
Lu Changsheng could only believe that the Lingwa Holy Body would be able to digest the medicinal power of the ninth-grade Immortal Pill.
The medicinal power of the Immortal Pill was gradually absorbed by the Lingwa Holy Body. Her Three Souls and Seven Spirits, scattered in the Immortal Ruins, felt the pull and returned to Xia Ningxue’s body.
“As expected of an Immortal Pill, even the scattered Three Souls and Seven Spirits can be regathered.”
The people knew Xia Ningxue might very well be resurrected and no longer worried but admired the amazing effects of the ninth-grade Immortal Pill.
For these Dao Palace Realm elders, had it not been for Lu Changshengbringing out a ninth-grade Immortal Pill, they might never have seen one in their lifetimes.
The pallor in Xia Ningxue’s complexion gradually became rosy; the emptiness in her eyes slowly regained its luster as she let out a low moan, “Mmm…”
“Xia has woken up!”
The people from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were overjoyed, as Xia Ningxue was truly brought back to life.
Such a technique for reviving the dead was beyond their understanding.
“Lu Changsheng…?”
Xia Ningxue’s memory was still at the moment she confronted the enchantress from the Joyous Union Sect. When she woke, she found herself in Lu Changsheng’s arms, her body filled with tremendous medicinal power. “You’ve awakened? Quickly refine the medicinal power, Lu Changsheng perceived that the medicinal power of the ninth-grade Immortal Pill was exceptionally vast, and apart from helping Xia Ningxue reunite her Three Souls and Seven Spirits, there was still a great surplus of medicinal power within her body.
