Chapter 116: What?! A Tier 5 Pill with Pill Patterns! And Back to the Peak Condition

Standing amidst the chaos, Yu Liang took a deep breath, his eyes reflecting a deep sense of satisfaction.

He reviewed his current state, marveling at his own progress. Not too long ago, it was a time when he struggled just to defeat his peers in a one on one duel. But now? He had not only fought an injured Peak Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator on equal footing, but he had also easily suppressed and slaughtered hundreds of cultivators at the same realm.

This amount of improvement was just... crazy. And he felt quite good about it.

In the cultivation world, the difficulty of fighting multiple opponents of the same realm was notoriously high. Normally, it was extremely difficult for a cultivator to defeat even three opponents of the same level. Even if one had a slightly above average physique and decent techniques, defeating more than twenty opponents was the absolute limit they could achieve before their spiritual energy ran dry or their body collapsed.

Yet, Yu Liang had none of those advantages. He had no exceptional physique, nor did he came from any extraordinary Lineage. Despite this, he had still achieved this victory, turning their overwhelming numbers into his own stepping stones.

As he stood there, his right hand suddenly flipped.

Out of nowhere, a pill appeared in his palm.

It was a translucent pill with green patterns around it, radiating a soft, ethereal light. The moment it materialized, a rich, fragrant medicinal scent instantly filled the air.

Just inhaling this medicinal scent alone was enough to make Overseer Zhao, Mo Feng, and Liu Ruyan feel their severe internal injuries stabilize slightly, the agonizing pain in their chests lessened somewhat.

Overseer Zhao’s eyes bulged in absolute shock. He pointed a trembling finger at the pill and blurted out, "A Tier 5 pill?! How can a mere outer sect disciple have a Tier 5 pill with pill patterns?!"

His voice was filled with disbelief and a hint of madness. In the cultivation world, a Tier 5 healing pill was a supreme treasure exclusively used by Nascent Soul cultivators to recover from fatal injuries.

As for Pill Patterns, it’s one of the clearest ways to judge the quality of a medicinal pill. After a pill is successfully refined, faint patterns would naturally appear on its surface depending on how well the medicinal essence had been fused and how much of its potency had been preserved. The more patterns a pill possessed, the higher its purity and the stronger its medicinal effects would generally be.

A pill with one pattern could already be considered a properly refined pill, while two pattern pills represented a noticeable improvement in quality. Three pattern pills were regarded as high quality pills, containing very little impurity and retaining a large portion of the medicinal essence of their ingredients. Four pattern pills were considerably rarer, requiring an alchemist to have excellent control over the refining process and allowing almost no medicinal essence to be wasted.

As for five pattern pills, they represented the peak of pill refinement. Such pills contained an exceptionally high degree of purity, with nearly all the medicinal properties of the ingredients perfectly fused into the final pill. Naturally, the higher the number of patterns, the more valuable the pill became and even cultivators with considerable wealth would not casually waste a high pattern pill.

And Yu Liang have a pill with two patterns on it. To use such a heavenly treasure for a mere Qi Condensation Realm cultivator was an unimaginably colossal waste of its medicinal properties. It was like using a divine sword to chop a firewood.

But as Overseer Zhao stared at the pill, a deep confusion crept into his mind. He had been watching Yu Liang closely the entire time. He didn’t see the boy open a storage pouch nor did he see the flash of a storage ring. Where on earth did it just appear from?

’Did he hide it in his sleeve? No, that’s impossible,’ Overseer Zhao thought, his mind racing with thoughts. But he quickly pushed those confusing thoughts to the back of his mind. ’It doesn’t matter. I just need to stop him from taking it.’

If he could attack now and interrupt the process, he could snatch the pill and use it to recover his own heavily injured body.

"Die!"

Overseer Zhao roared, ignoring the tearing pain in his meridians. He bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of blood onto his palms and unleashed his most devastating, life threatening attack.

"Blood Asura’s Final Strike!"

A massive, condensed palm print made of pure blood Qi erupted from his hands. It carried the weight of a mountain and the sharpness of a blade, tearing through the air with a deafening whistle as it slammed directly toward Yu Liang’s face. The attack was so fast and powerful that it locked down on Yu Liang, binding him in one place.

Mo Feng and Liu Ruyan’s eyes lit up with hope. ’He’s going to die! He’s definitely going to die!’

However, the moment the devastating blood palm landed, it didn’t even touch him.

Dingg!

A crisp and clear sound echoed in the cave. An invisible barrier suddenly materialized inches away from Yu Liang’s skin. The terrifying Blood Asura palm struck the barrier and instantly shattered into harmless wisps of red light, dissipating into the air without leaving even a scratch on Yu Liang’s face.

Yu Liang didn’t even blink. He just looked at the dissipating attack and scoffed lightly.

"You don’t think I’m that foolish, do you?" he said, his voice filled with mockery. "You really thought I’d let you interrupt me while I’m taking medicine?"

In the painful, anguished and bloodshot eyes of Overseer Zhao, Mo Feng, and Liu Ruyan, Yu Liang casually tossed the priceless Tier 5 pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

The moment the pill entered his body, a miraculous change occurred.

A warm radiance spread from his chest, flowing through his meridians like a gentle spring stream.

It was incredibly smooth and gentle.

The torn flesh on his body knitted together seamlessly. The bruised and fractured bones were in one piece. His depleted spiritual energy surged back like a tidal wave, filling his dantian to the brim. In just a few short breaths, the pill healed him instantly. His injuries completely vanished and his skin even looked a bit more flawless and radiant than before.

Yu Liang clenched his fist, feeling the overflowing, peak state power coursing through his body. He raised his eyes, looking at the three enemies whose last hope had just been crushed by him.

"Let’s finish it in this round, shall we?"
