NOVEL FROG Tier-9 Pill, Congeal Holy Water Pill’s Recipe
"Madam?"
Yun Yun's face blushed, her nervous hand reaching to touch her hair, trying to hide her embarrassment. Being addressed as 'Madam' in front of so many people would make anyone nervous.
Nalan Yanran looked at her master with a complicated feeling. Could her suspicions be true? Was there indeed a special relationship between her master and Pavilion Master Li Xiao?
Bing Shuang gave Niu Meng a sharp look and transmitted, "Couldn't you keep quiet? Master hasn't introduced her yet. Go play somewhere else!"
Niu Meng scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't think he said anything wrong. The Pavilion Master and Yun Yun had been together for a while, so calling her 'Madam' shouldn't be an issue, right?
Li Xiao chuckled softly, and in front of everyone, he held Yun Yun's delicate hand and announced, "Since it's come to this, let me officially announce that from today onwards, Yun Yun is the Mistress of the Heaven Ascending Pavilion. You all better treat her well; otherwise, heh heh heh."
Everyone shivered. They knew the Pavilion Master's punishments well. A single day of his punishment was enough to leave someone bedridden. Only those who had experienced it could truly understand.
Zi Yan blinked and asked, "If we do, do we get rewarded with delicious food?"
"Of course. The Pavilion Master's ice pops are very tasty. I'll make one for you someday." Bing Shuang bent down slightly, flicking her finger to summon a blueberry-flavored ice pop. She handed it to Zi Yan. "Zi Yan, you must behave from now on, or else I'll spank your little butt."
Zi Yan quickly placed her hands on her butt and nodded fearfully. It was clear she dreaded the idea of being spanked.
Meanwhile, Amethyst Winged Lion King who was lying lazily on the ground rolled his eyes. I don't think you're talking about that popsicle, but whatever…
After being promoted to Rank-7 magical beast, Amethyst Winged Lion King could freely switch between his beast form and human form. However, having been a beast for so long, it was more comfortable remaining in its true form.
Back at the Heaven Ascending Pavilion, Li Xiao took out the Fallen Heart Flame. The once ferocious flame calmed down immediately upon sensing the aura inside the Heaven Ascending Pavilion, behaving like a docile cat.
The Heaven Ascending Pavilion exerted a great pressure on magical beasts, humans, and heavenly flames alike. This pressure was strong enough to shatter the energies generated by the Queen Medusa's transformation.
Li Xiao pressed his right hand down, and the Fallen Heart Flame was absorbed into the floor of the Heaven Ascending Pavilion.
Instantly, the entire pavilion glowed with a faint red light. Special runes emerged on the first-floor floorboards, and the energy within surged wildly. An unprecedented level of Dou Qi burst forth.
Li Xiao, sensing this surge in energy, felt pleased. Although the Fallen Heart Flame had only increased the pavilion's energy by one percent, it made the Dou Qi inside much denser, rivaling even the most powerful secret realms.
After handling the heavenly flame, Li Xiao took out the scroll Han Feng had given him. According to him, only with the power of a Dou Venerate could this scroll be opened. Li Xiao couldn't help anticipating what kind of pill recipe contained within.
Lian Xue appeared right away in the first-floor hall upon Li Xiao's summon. She took the scroll from Li Xiao and infused her Dou Qi. Instantly, the scroll broke open, flooding the room with brilliant golden light.
To their surprise, it really contained an unimaginable treasure—a recipe for Tier-9 Pill Congeal Holy Water Pill!
Based on the recipe, to refine a Congeal Holy Water Pill, it required three Rank-7 Magical Beast's Magic Core, a Thousand Years Blood Demon Grass, Ten Thousand Years Tier-9 Ginseng King, one Heavenly Flame, and a Dou Venerate's skull.
This pill was an extraordinary pill capable of enhancing one spiritual power. After consuming it, no matter what spiritual state one was currently in, their spiritual power would directly advance to the mid-level Heavenly State.
Seeing the description of the Fu Ning Sacred Pill, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a tinge of surprise. He didn't expect the pill to be so powerful.
The Spiritual States were divided into four levels: the Mortal State, Soul State, Heavenly State, and Divine State. Most people, including alchemists below the 8th tier, remained at the Mortal State. There were only slight variations in might between most people's Spiritual Strengths.
With luck, some tier 7 alchemists might have been able to vaguely touch the Soul State. If a person's Spiritual Strength reached this level, it gained a certain effect: the ability to endow a soul, providing a medicinal pill with spirituality. Most tier 8 medicinal pills possessed this spirituality. It was due to this spirituality that they reached the 8th tier. Regardless of how outstanding the pill refinement techniques of an ordinary alchemist were, the medicinal pills they created would never reach the 8th tier if they were unable to provide the pill with a spirit.
Throughout history, only a few had reached the pinnacle of spiritual power, and those who did naturally had high Dou Qi cultivation as well. This pill offered a significant leap in spiritual power, making it a true treasure among ninth-grade pills.
However, gathering the required materials would not be an easy task. Each item was extremely valuable, though not impossible to obtain. Each Rank-8 magical beast's core cost ten system coins, equivalent to ten thousand gold coins, which was relatively cheap.
The other materials weren't too expensive either, except for the Ten Thousand-Year Tier-9 Ginseng King, which cost around one million gold coins. This was because the Ginseng King had become extinct on the Dou Qi continent, and any remaining ones had already been drained of their essence, hence the high price.
Looking at the prices, Li Xiao decided not to rush into buying them. He wasn't an alchemist, and the Heaven Ascending Pavilion didn't have one either. Even if he gathered all the materials, there wouldn't be anyone to refine the pill.
He decided to wait for the system's future rewards, hoping it would grant him an alchemical prodigy, saving him from having to purchase treasures from the system.
The mechanical voice of the system sounded.

Hearing the system prompt, Li Xiao almost cursed out loud. Earning one billion gold coins in three years had already been a struggle let alone earning ten billion in five years. It was as if the system was pushing him to his limits.
[Don't be discouraged, host. The system can exchange any Dou Techniques, Dou Methods, Heavenly Flames, or other Heaven and Earth Treasure for gold coins. It's absolutely righteous and fair.]
"Fair, my foot!" Li Xiao cursed inwardly.
