248: Level Up Pill
🕑 Added 2025-04-27 20:39:34 +0000 UTCAfter seeing the shocked Moon God Emperor off as he departed from the Heavenly Mystery Temple, the three elders watched the man flying toward the four Moon Gods. His originally steady body was now swaying unsteadily mid-flight.
The Moon God Emperor had already prepared himself for the worst. He thought that he would certainly face a calamity; however, never did he expect to learn the date of his death, and it was so short! Everything was so sudden. Yue Wugou, the Moon God Realm, and his revenge, all these matters depended on him!
After the Moon God Emperor disappeared from their sight, the three elders returned to the temple. Their faces were deathly pale, and they looked at each other with deep shock. Mozhi spoke, her voice trembling, "The Eastern Divine Region..."
"Why did you stop us from telling the Moon God Emperor everything?" Mowen asked Moyu.
"It's already too late. The Moon God Emperor... no, the four king realms can't change anything," Moyu said, shaking his head and letting out a deep sigh. "It's already too late to save the Eastern Divine Region."
The vision they saw was very short, but it contained many revelations.
The Brahma Monarch God Realm was reduced to a living hell, and the Eternal Heaven God Realm was bathed in blood...
Even if they were to inform the four King Realms, it was already too late; the strength of the four realms combined could not change the impending disaster.
As for seeking help from other Divine Regions, the Heavenly Mystery Three Elders knew it was a futile endeavor. The four God Emperors might respect them to some extent, but that respect was shallow, only existing when they needed the Elders' insights. There was little chance they would heed their warnings now.
Even if, by some miracle, they did believe them, the time was simply too short. With less than a year, what kind of preparations could they possibly make?
"To think that such a person could exist," Mozhi muttered, still not recovered from astonishment. He added with a deep sigh, "Unfortunately, he colluded with the Devils."
"What should we do then?" Mowen asked.
Both Moyu and Mozhi remained silent for a long time before they spoke at the same time, "There is only one way..."
....
In his cultivation room, Yun Wuji stood surrounded by a large variety of items floating around him. Each of them was a precious resource capable of changing the fate of a sect or even a realm. Some were so valuable that they could buy an entire Middle Star Realm.
Among them were tens of Divine Master beast cores.
Hei Xiaolian's voice came from the Sky Poison Pearl, "Master, what are you doing?" She was still in the process of refining the Untamed World Pellet and couldn't come out. But with her strong spiritual power, it wasn't an issue for her to split her attention and observe him while refining the pellet.
Yun Wuji swirled his finger, and sparkling blue powder circled around it. On his other hand, a drop of black-red blood floated. He replied, "I am researching a Divine Master-level breakthrough pill."
When he was still in the Blue Pole Star, Yun Wuji, through years of experimentation in alchemy and medicine, utilizing the Sky Poison Pearl, had invented a Level-Up series that covered the Nascent Profound Realm to the Sovereign Profound Realm. He used these pills to aid his own cultivation, and when he invaded the Four Sacred Grounds, these pills played a significant role in boosting the strength of his subordinates.
After entering the Divine Way and reaching the God Realm, his cultivation speed had been so fast that he hadn't had time to research higher versions of these pills. Now, with an impending war against the strongest forces in the Eastern Divine Region, he needed to increase the strength of his people.
"Did you succeed?" Hei Xiaolian wasn't surprised by his claim. To her, Yun Wuji's genius was beyond frightening, there was nothing he couldn't do; it was only a matter of time.
"Not yet, but I am very close," Yun Wuji flicked his finger, causing the blue powder to move away. In its place, a profound beast core fell into his hand.
"If you succeed, will you still give Luo Guxie the Untamed World Pellet?" Hei Xiaolian asked curiously. After all, Luo Guxie was a 9th-level Divine Master, and if she were to use the level-up pill instead, she could reach the God Emperor level without needing the Untamed World Pellet.
"No, she will still get the Untamed World Pellet," Yun Wuji replied.
"Why? Isn't it a waste? You can keep it for yourself and refine it when your strength is suitable," Hei Xiaolian said, confused. Shouldn't he use his resources wisely, especially for a divine pellet like this?
"Luo Guxie is a very insecure woman, especially when it comes to her past. Even if I didn't mean it, if I were to give the Untamed World Pellet to Jasmine and give her a level-up pill instead, she would start overthinking and feel that her position is lower than others. Not to mention, she has done her share to earn it," Yun Wuji stopped his task and explained patiently. "Besides, I don't need the Untamed World Pellet. Once the war ends, I will obtain the Eternal Heaven Pearl. With it, I can reach the peak of my strength in this world."
The Untamed World Pellet's medicinal power was extremely potent. If he were to use it now, his body would explode on the spot. To safely utilize it, he would need at least Divine King Realm strength. Back then, Yun Che had been at the Divine Sovereign Realm, yet he still couldn't use it safely. In the end, he gave the two pellets to Qianye Ying'er.
In a year… no, far less than that, he would conquer the Eternal Heaven God Realm and claim the Eternal Heaven Pearl, and it would happen before he even reached the Divine King Realm. Inside it, just a month of effort in the outside world equaled a hundred years!
Another reason is that the Level-Up Pill would only help Luo Guxie reach the 10th-level Divine Master Realm. However, the Untamed World Pellet would push Luo Guxie's strength far beyond that, her strength would only be inferior to Qianye Fantian's.
"Tch. Women are troublesome," Hei Xiaolian, who was also a woman, complained, unable to understand Yun Wuji's actions.
'You're a woman, and even more troublesome than the others!' Yun Wuji thought speechlessly. He didn't bother correcting her and simply said, "Focus on your work."
"Yes, yes... But don't forget your promise. I want my special time too!" Hei Xiaolian said dismissively before reminding him of his promise.
"..." Yun Wuji.
...
A few days later, Yun Wuji exited his cultivation room and met with Mu Xuanyin, Chi Wuyao, Jasmine, and the others. He took out two pure white pills that radiated an unparalleled, pure aura and handed one each to Luo Guxie and Jasmine. "Take it and refine the pill. According to my estimation, it will take you six months to completely absorb the medicinal properties within this pill."
It took Qianye Ying'er six months to refine the pill.
Luo Guxie and Jasmine each held one with both hands. They stared at it for a short moment before gazing back at Yun Wuji. Then, the former said, "Yang'er, I won't disappoint you."
"I know," Yun Wuji kissed her lips and whispered into her ear, "Six months might feel like a blink for you while refining that pill, but it's a long damn time for me. Once you're out, I'm going to fuck your brains out, alright?" He squeezed her ass tightly.
"Ahn~" Luo Guxie's body shivered, and she uncontrollably let out a soft moan, resisting the urge to pull him directly back into his room. The woman then turned into a blur and flew away.
"..." Jie Ling and Jie Xin exchanged glances.
The other women, however, were already used to their interactions and didn't say anything.
Yun Wuji turned to Jasmine and gently patted her head. "Once you refine the pill, you will finally have the power to take your revenge on everyone who has wronged you."
"Hmm," Jasmine rubbed her head against his palm and hummed softly. She then tiptoed, kissed his lips, and turned into a crimson light, disappearing as well. Before vanishing completely, her flustered voice reached his ears: "I... I also want you to fuck my brain out when I come out of secluded cultivation!"
"..." Yun Wuji shook his head and smiled. This tsundere Star God was getting bolder and bolder. In the past, she would only secretly peek at him with a blush when he was with his wives.
'They grow up so quickly,' he thought to himself.
After chatting with Chi Wuyao, Mu Xuanyin, Mu Bingyun, and the others for a while and discussing more details of his plans, Yun Wuji returned to his cultivation room to continue his experiments.
He had already made great progress and only needed to fine-tune a few things to successfully refine the Divine Master version of the Level-Up Pills.
The main ingredients for these pills were Divine Master beast cores, highly refined blood essences of high-level beasts, and other precious ingredients.
These ingredients were rare but could be obtained with some effort. The most troublesome among them were the Divine Master beast cores, as the number of Divine Masters was extremely limited. For instance, in the star region where the Snow Song Realm was located, there were only two Divine Masters, both of whom were in the Flame God Realm.
Not to mention that each Divine Master Beast was incredibly difficult to hunt. Back then, Mu Xuanyin had attempted to hunt the Ancient Horned Dragon multiple times but still hadn't succeeded.
A single Divine Master Beast core was so precious that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could buy an entire Star Realm.
Normally, refining a single Level-Up Pill would require six beast cores. However, if he refined it using the Sky Poison Pearl, he would only need three beast cores, and the amount of other resources required would also be reduced.
Of course, even if the resources needed were ten times greater, it would still be considered extremely cheap and practical.
Just as Yun Wuji put away the items and was about to leave the cultivation room, he sensed someone standing at the door.
When he opened the door, an alluringly beautiful face that seemed to embody all the bewitching seductiveness in the world greeted him. The devilish charm incarnate smiled; her smile looked both sultry and pitiful.
She took a single step forward and pulled her black robe off one shoulder, exposing her delicate skin. There, on her shoulder, was a deep black-blue wound.
"Little darling, your little woman was bullied." Chi Wuyao squeezed a tear from the corner of her eye and leaned closer to him, her voice soft and pleading. "Aren't you going to soothe my wounds?"
