996 Crafting Enchanted Pills
The Yellow Turban Army seemed to be bound by a tremendous force up against the Yin Yang Vase, rendering them utterly defenseless. No matter how they struggled, it was futile.
Moreover, the closer they got to the Yin Yang Vase, the smaller their bodies became, as if an invisible force was shrinking them.
The devouring power emanating from the Yin Yang Vase was incredibly strange, and there was no way to resist it. At least, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army was insufficient to withstand it. Bathed in the illuminating crimson and blue light that filled the air, they were drawn into the vase.
In an instant, thousands of Yellow Turban Army soldiers were swept away. It was as if the Yin Yang Vase were an endless abyss, crazily engulfing everything.
The scene was extremely terrifying.
Swish!
The Yin Yang Vase appeared once again in Li Xiang’s hands. With a quiver, the bottle emitted a radiant light, countless Yin and Yang Dao rhymes shifting and changing within, as if mysterious celestial sounds were echoing.
The bottle produced a crisp sound as it trembled.
Li Xiang poured out the contents of the bottle, revealing small red and blue pills in his palm.
These pills bore a mysterious pattern, some with one pattern and others with two.
“One-Turn Yin Yang Pill, Two-Turn Yin Yang Pill.”
These were indeed Yin Yang Pills, but what Li Xiang had not expected was that he could directly refine Two-Turn Yin Yang Pills.
One-Turn Yin Yang Pills were already extremely precious. Even cultivators at the Sea of Divinity realm or even the Mythical Realm could consume them. As for the Two-Turn Yin Yang Pills, they could be taken by cultivators in the Mythical Realm and even the Divine Fate Realm, providing tremendous benefits to their bodies.
They could refine their physical bodies and enhance their strength.
This time, thousands of Yin Yang Pills were successfully refined, with more than a dozen of them being Two-Turn Yin Yang Pills.
“What incredible magical powers! The King can directly refine pills with magical powers,” Zhou Qing exclaimed in astonishment, unable to contain his shock.
“These are Yin Yang Pills. They can restore injuries, quickly repair the physical body, and refine it. Even a single One-Turn Yin Yang Pill can enhance the physical strength of a normal cultivator by thousands of pounds. After the great battle, Yin Yang Pills will be included in the list of rewards for merit points exchange,” Li Xiang said solemnly.
“Look, what’s over there? There’re so many gnolls.”
“There are also Rat race troops over there.”
“Quick, look! There’re many fierce beasts, wolves, snakes, and scorpions.”
Boom!
The ground rumbled and trembled violently. All the monsters charged towards Rising Sun City. Strangely, they did not attack the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield. Instead, they launched a simultaneous assault on Rising Sun City, creating a frightening beast tide in an instant.
Accompanied by the Yellow Turban Army, this beast tide surged towards Rising Sun City. Charging alongside the beast tide, some members of the Yellow Turban Army even rode on top of the fierce beasts. There was a bizarre balance between the human race and the fierce beasts. It seemed that their sole purpose was to completely eliminate the human race within Rising Sun City, which held an unparalleled attraction for them.
This increasingly mysterious enemy weighed heavily on the hearts of the soldiers on the city walls.
“Divide all the soldiers into three groups and rotate them for wall defense. With this rotation, we should be able to hold on for a longer time,” Li Xiang commanded.
No one knew what else could happen on this night.
With a massive horde of fierce beasts and even the human army attacking the war city, this was definitely a grave situation.
Orders were issued, and the soldiers withdrew from the city walls, leaving only a third of their original numbers.
Even so, the remaining soldiers were able to defend all regions. The volley of divine crossbows instantly formed a terrifying barrage, acting as an impenetrable barrier on the battlefield. It was enough to rival the combat power of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Most importantly, the current beast tide, including the Yellow Turban Army soldiers, had not exceeded a certain limit. They were mostly at the level of the Sea of Divinity, and even those in the Mythical Realm would not be able to change the course of the battle.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The crossbow arrows and runic arrows flew incessantly, creating a rain of arrows.
Every moment witnessed the consumption of tens of thousands of arrows.
In war, resources were the key.
Dawn, on the other side, was still showered with crossbow arrows, though the arrows launched by the Yellow Turban Army were diminishing. Obviously, they did not have an endless supply of arrows, nor could they sustain a continuous barrage. As a result, the pressure on the Dawn warriors stationed on the city wall was significantly reduced.
This night was far from easy.
Ferocious birds descended from the sky in a relentless onslaught, imposing great pressure on Rising Sun City. However, those who approached the city walls were entirely slain, leaving a grisly scene of scattered corpses.
Li Xiang paid no attention to them. The Yin Yang Vase swiftly traversed the battlefield, devouring everything in their path, be it the flesh, blood, or even the souls of the living and the deceased. All the essence of blood, pneuma, soul power, and divine energy were refined within the Yin Yang Vase, creating an abundance of crimson and blue Yin Yang Pills.
These pills were forged from the countless cadavers of the enemy on the battlefield, with even their souls incorporated into the pills. This was the essence of the Yin Yang Pills.
A single Yin Yang Pill was enough to greatly enhance the cultivation of body refiners. The true essence of cultivators flourished, and even the yin and yang were reversed, revitalizing flesh from bones and potentially extending lifespan. These were heaven-defying pills forged from the flesh, blood, and souls of countless adversaries, and only Li Xiang possessed the ability to concoct such extraordinary pills.
The quantity of Yin Yang Pills was beyond count, requiring jade boxes for storage.
Each jade box contained a hundred bottles, and each bottle held a hundred pills. Such jade boxes were already piled up like mountains within the Tower of Stars.
This scene evoked a sense of excitement among the Dawn warriors.
These pills belonged to Li Xiang, but they also belonged to the entire Dawn. Every soldier here would receive their share; it was the dividend of war.
Or one could say it was the privilege of the Dawn Dynasty.
After all, no other power could directly refine the corpses of fallen soldiers on the battlefield, let alone transmute them into precious Yin Yang Pills. This meant that few powers could replicate the path taken by the Dawn Dynasty.
To sustain war through war, this was the shortcut that Dawn had chosen to become stronger.
One night!
A full night had passed, with the outside of the city experiencing intense combat throughout the entire evening.
The darkness gradually dissipated.
“Look, these monsters, these enemies, they’re retreating.”
“They’ve stopped, they’ve ceased their attack on Rising Sun City. What’s going on?”
The battlefield took on a bizarre atmosphere. The monsters, fierce beasts, and various allied forces that had been relentlessly attacking Rising Sun City began to retreat, almost as if they had simultaneously reached an unspoken agreement. The speed of their withdrawal was astonishingly fast.
