Chapter 1222 - Fourth-Level Transcendent Realm
Mu Heng stood amid the crowd of disciples ringing him and glared at Liu Wuxie with open hostility. Liu Wuxie had stolen all the limelight during the wilderness training, and yesterday's auction had sown bitter discord between the two institutions.
What had looked like a firm alliance shattered beneath Liu Wuxie's words, and any cooperation between the two institutions would be difficult going forward.
The War Dragon Institute had fallen into chaos, and the Dharma Institute fared no better.
Shortly after Liu Wuxie's arrival, the Contribution Hall's gate creaked open, and everyone poured in. The hall was vast, more than ten thousand square meters, and artisans forged its mirror-smooth walls from a special stone that occasionally reflected bizarre images.
"Immortal runes," Liu Wuxie murmured, squinting. The stone walls held runic depth—true immortal runes. Beyond those fortified walls, a giant pillar of light rose like a column of dawn. An overwhelming aura spilled from it; within lay countless pills, each worth a fortune. These were not fifth, sixth, or seventh-grade spiritual pills, but Pure Yang Pills.
Liu Wuxie was familiar with the Pure Yang Pills. In the Central Plains, he had used the Desolate Devouring Art to absorb pure yang energy and refine it into such pills. On the True Martial Continent, pure yang energy was scarce; a whole day's effort yielded little.
However, the Astral Domain was different, as the void brimmed with pure yang energy.
He had heard that the Heavenly Dragon Sect maintained a Pure Yang Lake with energy that had long been condensed into liquid. Sadly, his cultivation was too low; even if he could absorb large amounts of pure yang energy, he could not condense it into pills himself.
Pure Yang Pills had no grade. In battle, they replenished true essence; in regular cultivation, they drew out the body's potential and strengthened the dantian. Unlike sixth or seventh-grade spiritual pills, alchemists refined them easily and needed no rare materials. Many believed astral stones were the main currency of the cultivation world, but in truth, Pure Yang Pills held that role.
After reaching the Void Realm, only Pure Yang Pills remained useful because astral stones contained too many impurities. Pure Yang Pills were indispensable across both the Primal Origin Realm and the Void Realm.
Several elders stepped forward, and the clamor died.
"Present your tokens. We will begin the reward distribution now!" Three elders presided, each radiating the power of a low-level Primal Origin Realm expert.
