Chapter 504 - Seven Yang Physique (2/2)

“Hehe. Having a strong determination is naturally a good thing. However, Elder sister will warn you that breaking through to the Sixth Revolution really is extremely difficult. Its difficulty is certainly much greater than attaining the Void Refinement Realm. Besides, once you fail, your medicine soul will be harmed by the backlash. There is a saying in the pill refinement world: ‘The Sixth Revolution is like Heaven. The Seventh Revolution is like an immortal. You should try and count how many Void Refinement Realm experts and Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters there are individually in the Rain World…”

Luo You’s voice resounded within Ning Fan’s mind. It was unknown whether she was trying to shake his confidence or motivate him.

Or was she worried about him?

“Is that so…?”

Ning Fan’s eyes became as deep as the ocean. In the next moment, he dove downward to the second level.

The power of the Soul Bathing Light on the second level was obviously several times stronger than that of the first level. The pain his medicine soul felt when it underwent the tempering process gradually intensified. More of the impurities within his medicine soul were cleansed.

This degree of pain was undoubtedly insignificant to Ning Fan.

He then dove past the third level and fourth level, directly reaching the fifth level of the pond.

The intensity of the Soul Bathing Light on this level was the limit of a Peak Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master.

Floating on the fifth level, Ning Fan felt like his medicine soul was being ground beneath a stone mill. The pain made his brows slightly knit together.

“Aren’t you going to scream upon experiencing such pain?” Luo You seemed quite surprised seeing Ning Fan’s endurance.

“Is this your first day of knowing me? If I scream, would it make the pain go away other than making me look weak?”

Ning Fan opened the storage pouch from Venerated Pill and took out a forehead protector that was made of gold and a belt made out of crow feather.

The forehead protector was a Low Grade Profound Heaven spiritual equipment and was equivalent to Low Grade Mortal Void magic treasures meant for protecting the user’s head.

The belt was also a Profound Heaven spiritual equipment but it was at the Mid Grade. It had the function of protecting the user’s dantian.

With Ning Fan’s Fu Li Demon Blood, it was as easy as raising his hand to gain their ownership and assimilate them into his body.

After he assimilated the two spiritual equipment, the pain in his medicine soul was immediately reduced by a great deal but the tempering effect on his medicine soul remained unchanged.

Then, he took out a pill bottle containing 12 pellets of pills. These pills were called Soul Protecting Pills. They could nourish and repair one’s medicine soul once eaten.

As soon as he took a single pellet, he felt a cooling sensation washing over his medicine soul, making the pain go away completely.

Only after making all the necessary preparations did Ning Fan pick himself up again and dive into the sixth level of the pond.

The Soul Bathing Light on this level was extremely powerful. Only a true Low Grade Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Master could withstand it.

Even though Ning Fan had yet to truly reach the Sixth Revolution, the strength of his medicine soul was already comparable to that of a genuine Low Grade Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Master. Additionally, with the protection of the spiritual equipment he wore and the pill he ate, he managed to withstand the Soul Bathing Light of the sixth level.

Ning Fan then went to a meditative sitting posture while floating in the water and stayed there for half a month, allowing the divine light to temper his medicine soul. Half a month later, the green color on his medicine soul completely disappeared. His medicine soul was close to turning pure black.

The power of his medicine soul had fully reached the standard of the Sixth Revolution and yet he still could not achieve the breakthrough.

The bottleneck of the Sixth Revolution was like an insurmountable Heaven, cold and merciless. It shut the door to the Sixth Revolution to all Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters, not allowing them to pass through.

“The Sixth Revolution is Heaven. This saying is indeed true… Even if I use the Soul Bathing Light on the sixth level, it’s still not enough to help me break through to the Sixth Revolution…”

Ning Fan went silent and rose to his feet. Luo You’s voice carrying a hint of concern echoed in his mind at this moment.

“Are you going to give up?”

“How is that possible…? This isn’t your first day of knowing me, right?”

Ning Fan paused and smiled. He then continued, “I’m going to the seventh level!”

“You…*sigh* You really are my silly younger brother.” Luo You sounded as if she had already figured out what Ning Fan was planning to do.

The seventh level was located below the sixth level and has yet to be unsealed. Although the grand formation sealing that level was extraordinary, it wasn’t difficult for Ning Fan to break.

Even though there was a layer of formation light separating Ning Fan and the seventh level, he could still feel the Soul Bathing Light from the seventh level. It was at least a few times stronger than the sixth level.

If he enters the seventh level, he would either successfully succeed in his breakthrough or suffer severe injuries in his medicine soul.. Moreover, his chances of receiving injuries were extremely high.

Even Venerated Pill, who was a Low Grade Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Master, would not dare enter the seventh level for too long.

“The Sixth Revolution is like Heaven. If I don’t have a firm determination, how can I break through the bottleneck of the Sixth Revolution?! Wind Mist Finger!”

His finger summoned golden purple mist which directly broke the seal of the seventh level.

In a single dive, he entered the seventh level. All of a sudden, the powerful Soul Bathing Light blasted him. Its power was comparable to an attack from a Peak Void Inquiry Stage expert!

Within seconds, the spiritual equipment Ning Fan wore on his body broke apart!

He then felt a sharp pain in his chest with blood flowing out of his mouth. His eyes were filled with surprise.

The Soul Bathing Light of the seventh level directly attacked his spiritual equipment and medicine soul. Even his Primordial Lightning Armor could not defend against it.

He waved his hand to summon the black stars under the water. His injuries were instantly healed. Even though the Soul Bathing Light inflicted injuries on him again and again after that, the black stars would completely heal him again.

He took out the Soul Protecting Pills and ate every last pellet in the bottle. The pills allowed him to withstand the intensity of the Soul Bathing Light for a while.

The resolve in his eyes magnified. The Peak Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm was definitely not the end of his path in the Dao of Alchemy. He wanted to break through to the Sixth Revolution, the Seventh Revolution and even higher levels in pill refinement. How could he back away at this point of time?!

“My good younger brother, look! What’s that?” Luo You was suddenly shocked.

Ning Fan carefully spread his spirit sense on the seventh level and followed the direction Luo You pointed at.

No one knew how many years this seventh level was left unvisited. At least, Venerated Pill who was the strongest pill refinement master on Pill Island would not dare to randomly spend a long time at this place. Therefore, it had been sealed for quite a long time.

At the bottom of the pond, there was a faint green lotus flower amidst the mud.

The lotus flower was still young. It had only lived for several tens of years.

However, when Ning Fan saw that lotus flower, his eyes widened. Staring at the flower, he said in an excited tone. “This is… the Soul Washing Lotus!”

The Soul Washing Lotus would only grow in areas where the Soul Bathing Light was the most concentrated. It had the miraculous effect of purifying and enhancing one’s soul.

The plant’s age was not important. There were barely any differences between the medicinal effect of a one hundred years old and a ten thousand years old Soul Washing Lotus.

Venerated Pill had never been to the Soul Washing Pond for many years. Therefore, he was not aware that a Soul Washing Lotus had grown in this place.

If Ning Fan did not have the courage to enter the seventh level, he also would not find out its existence.

He still had a Liancheng Pill in his pouch which he planned on using to break through the bottleneck of the Sixth Revolution.

Now that he also has the Soul Washing Lotus, he had greater chances of advancing to the Sixth Revolution!

“Sixth Revolution!” Ning Fan plucked the lotus flower with eyes filled with solemnity. Now, he was already a hair’s breadth away from the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm!

…

Ning Fan had no idea that the Pill Island trembled the moment he broke the formation light of the seventh level.

Venerated Pill held a seven-colored token in his hand. The seventh color on the token had already lit up!

This token was the formation token of the Soul Washing Pond. When the seventh color lit up, it meant that the seal on the seventh level had been opened!

“Revered Ming has actually entered the seventh level of the Soul Washing Pond! He is insane!”

The seventh level of the pond was a place that even Venerated Pill would not dare to casually enter!

Who could endure Soul Bathing Light of that strength other than genuine Mid Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters?!

“Guards! I need to head over to the Soul Washing Pond at once! If Revered Ming got severely injured by the Soul Bathing Light of the seventh level, I am the only one who has the means to help him suppress the injuries on his medicine soul…”

Venerated Pill sighed with emotion. He did not think that Ning Fan would be strong enough to enter the seventh level.

However, he was clearly unaware that Ning Fan had the Black Star Technique to withstand the Soul Bathing Light which allowed him to stay on the seventh level.

When Venerated Pill rushed to the Soul Washing Pond with his severe injuries, he was shocked.

It turned out that Ning Fan was not sent out from the seventh level by the Soul Bathing Light like what he had expected.

“Did Revered Ming actually manage to withstand the Soul Bathing Light of the seventh level?!” Venerated Pill said with amazement.
