Chapter 245 - From This Moment On, I Am The King (1/2)

The star beasts put down the materials and carefully said,

"Senior, can we leave now?"

Ye Xiao nodded.

The star beasts immediately turned around and ran as if they had been granted amnesty.

However, they had just turned around when in the next second, several sword lights swept over and instantly pierced through their hearts.

Plop, Plop, Plop...

The major sect star beasts fell one after another, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They seemed to not understand why they had all followed Ye Xiao's instructions. Ye Xiao mercilessly killed all of them anyway.

"Humans... Are Shameless."

In reality, Ye Xiao was never prepared to let them off.

Every star beast among them had human blood on their hands. Who knew how many people they had eaten. Moreover, even if they were to be released, they would still continue to kill and eat people in the future.

Those were two races that were opposing each other. There was no need to talk about benevolence, justice, and morality.

Moreover, Ye Xiao was already a strong person. A strong person could do whatever he wanted.

He could kill if he wanted to, and he could not kill if he did not want to.

Everything depended on his own intentions.

Although they had brought the materials that he wanted, similarly, they had also obtained an hour's worth of survival because of that. Otherwise, they would have died an hour ago.

However, as weaklings, they could only curse the humans for being shameless.

Weaklings did not even have the right to cry.

After killing these star beasts, Ye Xiao activated the Star-picking Hand and sorted all the star beasts.

Peak divine grandmasters like the Green Lightning Bull and the Eight-legged Steed could be immediately refined into a medicinal pill.

As for the others, those with Xiantian seventh-grade cultivation had to be matched with some Xiantian sixth-grade grandmaster star beast.

That way, they could try their best to ensure that the difference between the 21 pills would not be too big.

Next was the distribution of materials.

Among the materials brought by the star beast, there were the 1,000-year-old polygonum multiflorum, the 1,000-year-old ginseng, and the blood lingzhi Ganoderma... There were even some extremely rare materials that were thousands of years old.

Those materials were the best of the best. They might not be comparable to the myriad of purple and red leaves.

However, with so many things added together, the spiritual energy contained within had long surpassed the myriad of purple and red leaves.

After sorting and stacking all the items, Ye Xiao immediately began to use the One Thousand to One pill-refining technique.

That was his first time refining so many pills at the same time. However, with Ye Xiao's current spiritual energy, it was not a difficult matter.

If it were other alchemists, even if they were extremely powerful alchemists in the nine provinces or even the entire world, they would not have an advantage over Ye Xiao.

There was no other reason. It was only because his spiritual energy cultivation was extremely powerful that he had already reached a state that was close to the peak of the nine provinces.

The other alchemists would at most be able to reach a great grandmaster, which was already very good.

The gap between the two parties was really too great.

The Myriad of Swords to the Origin was executed, and it split into 21 rays of light that connected to the 21 piles of materials that Ye Xiao had already sorted out.

Following that, the 21 piles of materials began to enter the state of purification. All of the impurities within them were removed. After that, all of the essences were extracted and used to make medicinal pills.

That process was a bit long. After all, there were 21 medicinal pills and not just a simple medicinal pill.

As time passed, the 21 piles of materials finally began to change. The bodies of all the star beasts began to gradually shrink and finally turned into ashes.

Then, drops of golden liquid condensed from them.

That was the essence contained within them. After all the essence in their bodies had been absorbed by them, in the blink of an eye, golden medicinal pills began to condense out one after another.

The 21 medicinal pills were like 21 small suns. The golden light they emitted even lit up more than half of the Heavenly Devil Cliff.

The medicinal pills contained extremely powerful and terrifying spiritual energy.

If one swallowed one, one's cultivation would instantly increase explosively.

However, at that moment, there were a total of 21 pills!

Rumble...

Several bolts of lightning fell from the sky.

After that, the dark clouds quickly gathered. In a short span of ten seconds, a thundercloud condensed in the sky.

Crackle!

The sound of sparks could be heard. Lightning shot out from the dark clouds like a sharp dagger, passing through the Heavenly Devil Cliff and reaching the bottom.

Some of the star beasts that had not run away earlier could not hold themselves back anymore.

Now that even nature had struck lightning, who could withstand it?

There were no more star beasts. Holding onto the hope of luck, they wanted to continue staying here.

Crackle, Crackle...

Rumble...

The lightning from the 21 medicinal pills gathered more and more. In the blink of an eye, more than 60 to 70 bolts of lightning descended every second.

On average, each medicinal pill contained two to three bolts of lightning.

If there was only one medicinal pill, this lightning might still take some time to arrive.

At the very least, it would wait for it to take shape and turn into a solid medicinal pill.

At that moment, Ye Xiao had really gone too far. He actually wanted to refine a total of 21 pills all at once, and all of them were imperial pills!

That could practically be said to be a challenge to the power of laws in the sky.

Hence, it caused so much lightning to descend that time.

The lightning struck the bottom of the Heavenly Devil Cliff and landed on the 21 pills, continuously refining the pills.
