464 - Rebirth of a Star: Another Day, Another Drama

Chapter 464: Heavenly Tier Pills With the Time Cultivation Room now available, Ye Ling Long prepared to significantly enhance her alchemy skills, formations, and swordsmanship. Meanwhile, Jiang Ling Yun chose a cultivation chamber to enter seclusion. She provided him with numerous pills to boost his power—enough, by her conservative estimate, to advance directly to the Immortal King stage. The pills she crafted were of supreme quality, devoid of any pill toxins or side effects. Even if he accumulated some pill toxins from the pills, the spiritual spring water could cleanse them. Ye Ling Long only suggested this because Jiang Ling Yun's foundational skills were solid. His talent and physical attributes were nearly on par with hers. Had it not been for the seals placed on him in the lower realm preventing breakthroughs, his cultivation level would likely have been comparable to hers. Considering his seclusion, she visited the Tower Spirit and replicated all the pill recipes she currently had access to, handing them to Jiang Ling Yun. Although he had absorbed the soul of a Medicine King, when it came to the variety of pill recipes, nothing compared to the Tower Spirit's comprehensive archive. After watching Jiang Ling Yun consume the pills and enter the cultivation chamber, Ye Ling Long selected the adjacent room, bringing the Tower Spirit along. She realized that as long as she was within this space, the Tower Spirit could simulate an alchemy room anywhere, making the overlap of the Time Cultivation Room and the simulated alchemy room perfect. She could drastically enhance her abilities in a short amount of time. She delved into a frenetic life of alchemy under a 1:60 time flow ratio. Already an advanced Xuan-tier alchemist, she easily produced ten high-grade Xuan-tier pills, unlocking the recipes for Di-tier pills. The Di-tier pills proved to be far more challenging; her first attempt ended with an explosion. "Boom!" A massive explosion echoed, causing the entire cultivation room to shake twice. The Ginseng Baby outside nonchalantly commented to the Dragon Soul, "Here we go again." This time, the Tower Spirit, required to maintain the function of the simulated alchemy room, suffered the brunt of the explosion alongside Ye Ling Long. Initially, the little creatures in the space were startled by the explosions, but eventually, they grew accustomed to them. They even began to deduce from the frequency of explosions whether she had successfully crafted a new pill. If the explosions occurred with extreme frequency, it indicated she was attempting a new type of pill. Despite the 1:60 time dilation, it sounded like firecrackers going off outside. The Ginseng Baby even managed to sleep soundly amidst the cacophony of explosions. … Time passed by—how long, even Ye Ling Long couldn't tell. She was unaware of the passing hours, only focused on alchemy, alchemy, and more alchemy. Every day was a repetition of the same process. Thankfully, she possessed a strong soul and numerous soul-replenishing pills. When her mental strength waned, she would swallow a pill and meditate to recover. Once her spirit power was restored, she resumed crafting pills. This mechanical routine continued until even she lost track of the number of pills she created. After untold explosions, she finally succeeded in crafting a pill. With a tap on the cauldron, its lid sprang open, and two dazzling pills emerged. Golden and lustrous, with pill markings resembling a five-clawed golden dragon about to soar. The scent was refreshing, wafting around them. They were Tian-tier beginner pills, Golden Dragon Bone Refining Pills, used to strengthen the body. Consuming one would refine the flesh, enhancing physical power significantly. They were coveted by body-refining cultivators. Despite being a beginner level Tian-tier pill, it required a rare ingredient—almost impossible to find in the celestial realm—Dragonborne Fruits, exclusive to the Dragon Clan's Golden Scale Fruit Tree, meant to enhance the figures and physical attributes of dragon hatchlings. However, for Ye Ling Long, this wasn't an issue. She had plenty of Dragonborne Fruits, so many, she could use them to craft Golden Dragon Bone Refining Pills as casually as eating candy and still not run out. The crafted pill soon vanished—it had been made in the simulated alchemy room, hence not a real pill. Yet, if the simulation could produce them, so could she with real materials outside. … In the Bai Li family’s rear mountains, golden tribulation clouds suddenly amassed, resembling a cultivator’s test, yet distinct. The clouds formed swiftly, coalescing in moments before striking down on the mountains. Lightning struck forty-nine times before retreating, leaving the sky illuminated with radiant hues and sweet rain, mingled with a tantalizing pill aroma that refreshed the mind upon inhalation. One person, upon catching the scent, brightened up. “This seems like a pill tribulation, a heavenly-tier pill tribulation!” "Really? A pill tribulation? Isn't the Bai Li family known for formations? If there were anything, it should be a formation tribulation. Are you sure you're not mistaken?" "This is definitely a pill tribulation. Didn't you notice the fragrance in the air? This kind of aroma only follows a Tian-tier pill tribulation’s rain." "I don't believe it. Just because you say so? There are only a few Tian-tier alchemists across the entire Upper Immortal Territory, and I haven't heard of the Bai Li family retaining one." … While the others outside speculated, Ye Ling Long watched joyfully at the three golden pills in the jade bottle. Three perfectly rounded pills adorned with dragon patterns. She hadn’t expected to succeed immediately with the Golden Dragon Bone Refining Pills—not in the simulation but on her first real attempt. Moreover, it was three pills in a single batch, each of top quality. Even more than the batch she succeeded with in the simulation room. Enticing pill aroma filled the air, making Ye Ling Long feel a bit hungry. Without hesitation, she tossed one of the Golden Dragon Bone Refining Pills into her mouth. After all, they were her own creations—harmless. "You just ate a Tian-tier pill? You casually just ate it like that?" A familiar voice broke into her thoughts. She turned to see many people had gathered behind her without her noticing—led by none other than her recently recognized father, Bai Li Ming.
