As soon as experts from the Roving Jade Heavens arrived, many problems would simply be solved.
Gao Qing pursed her lips, still not speaking in the end.
While Yan Zhaoge did not know the specifics of what they were interacting on, with Gao Qing who always seemed to say whatever was on her mind having actually resisted the urge to inquire about Sun Zhongda’s matter, Yan Zhaoge basically knew the other side’s considerations.
Gao Qing’s group had not asked about it, and Yan Zhaoge was happy to temporarily feign ignorance as well.
“The spiritual qi circulation of this world is one that this Yan has never encountered before. I wonder if any of you recognise this place?”
The descendants of the Prime Clear lineage exchanged looks before all shaking their heads.
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands, “Since that is so, we will be investigating into this world for now. If there is nothing else, this Yan and companions will first take our leave. Please move as you’d like.”
After saying so, Yan Zhaoge turned and left.
Gao Qing wanted to say something but stopped. Exchanging glances with her fellow disciples, they all just sighed before heading off in another direction.
They too had to get familiar with the spiritual qi cycles here in order to confirm the coordinates of this world amidst space, hereby seeking to establish contact with the Roving Jade Heavens or look for a path that led back to it.
Pan-Pan’s figure expanded as he lifted up the Myriad Dragon Palace and sped through the air.
Yan Zhaoge was currently sitting inside the Myriad Dragon Palace as he sensed the spiritual qi cycles of this world whilst continuing to analyse the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
When the seven levels of the foreign dimension had collapsed all at once, while those worlds had all met destruction, the pills within had been returned to the interior of the furnace alongside the flow of qi.
Yan Zhaoge and the others had not spent much time specifically looking for the pills in their earlier rush to quickly get to their destination, hence having given up on collecting many efficacious pills.
Now, much time had been saved as all the remaining ones which had not been taken away by others had been netted in one fell swoop.
Yan Zhaoge felt especially joyful at the fact that numerous efficacious pills still lay scattered about at the bottom of the furnace, not consisting of just a single sort of pill as there were varying amounts of pills of differing kinds.
These should not have been left behind after concoction, instead having likely been placed there.
There were even more of them in total than the medicinal pills scattered about the seven levels of the foreign dimension initially.
Yan Zhaoge felt rather interested regarding this, “Who exactly was it who used the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace earlier on? Was it the same person who set up that ritual?”
While wondering about this, Yan Zhaoge first selected and retrieved a jet-black medicinal pill.
With a flicking motion, the pill flew over in an arc to land right before the meditating Northern Ocean Clone.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 829: Numerous efficacious pills of differing functions
HSSB829: Numerous efficacious pills of differing functions
The meditating Northern Ocean Clone now opened his eyes, blowing at that jet-black medicinal pill.
Sparks actually flew on the surface of the jet-black medicinal pill in mid-air as that breath touched it.
The Northern Ocean Clone inhaled again, the pill transforming into a stream of flowing flames which was absorbed completely into his mouth.
With his fleshly body that was at the peak of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the Northern Ocean Clone closed his eyes, returning to meditation as he moderated his breathing.
His skin that was as white as jade now grew increasingly clear and pearly, seemingly transparent with its degree of whiteness as blood vessels, bones and internal organs could virtually be seen.
A fiery crimson light lit up within the Northern Ocean Clone’s body, gradually enveloping him entirely.
The fiery light blazed yet was not violent, instead emanating a tranquil, peaceful vibe.
Specks of starry radiance gradually lit up against the red light, manifesting the scene of starfire streaking through the sky.
A projection of light appeared atop the Northern Ocean Clone’s head, splitting into three parts.
The one in the middle transformed into a Kunpeng, the one on the left manifesting a true dragon.
The one on the right was comparatively smaller. Still, it depicted a Taotie.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge smiled, no longer looking.
As for the other pills, he categorised and identified them once over before nodding in satisfaction.
Even though he was temporarily unable to use the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace for pill concoction, he had already profited fully and completely off his adventure this time.
The Pill Hall still existed, the medicinal pills stored within far surpassing what he had now. However, with Yan Zhaoge’s current cultivation base, the situation was already one in which he would not be able to fully digest the abundant gains he had attained within a short period of time.
It was just that the situation with the Pill Hall was suspicious such that he would have to do some cautious planning if he was to search for it.
While it had successfully survived the Great Calamity, so many years having passed, Yan Zhaoge could not be certain what exactly had happened to it.
There was a high chance that it was already grasped by someone else.
Fortunately, with the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace in hand serving as a clue, it would be much easier for him to search for the Pill Hall.
It was just that conversely, with the other party having made use of the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace to set a trap, they might already have grasped the Pill Hall such that it would be very easy for them to locate the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
Still, Yan Zhaoge found this very hard to understand.
If that person truly already grasped the Pill Hall, first not speaking of how powerful he was, the numerous efficacious pills and miraculous medicines stored within it would be able to help make him stronger.
Having been able to capture the six Immortal Bridge Martial Saints also seemed good proof of this.
Yet, if the other party really was that powerful, why would he have needed to use the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace to set a trap?
It was not that everyone had been sucked away due to making a move on the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace. Instead, it was that the furnace itself had been a trap and also bait in the first place.
While considering this, Yan Zhaoge flicked outwards, a few streaks of light shooting respectively towards Feng Yunsheng and the others.
Two streaks of light also flew out of the Myriad Dragon Palace, whizzing into Pan-Pan’s mouth.
“With your current cultivation bases, you must truly be cautious when consuming these pills. Carefully refine their medicinal potency,” Yan Zhaoge said.
Feng Yunsheng, Ah Hu and Xiao Ai all carefully appraised the pills that hovered before them.
Yan Zhaoge said, “Of Yunsheng’s three pills, the first is the Clear Spiritual Sensory Pill which boosts the spirit’s sensory abilities. It can especially help the martial practitioner in more agilely wielding treasures that they still cannot fully wield at their current cultivation level. It is suited for you with the Extreme Yin Crown and the Cold Sun Divine Sabre that you bear.”
“The second pill is the Yin Yang Ten Thousand Longevity Pill which boosts the combination of yin and yang, first boosting one of them before boosting the other over time. Its effects are prominent and a good fit to your current cultivation route. You are best suited to cultivating in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture beyond others.”
In the World beyond Worlds, many things could be explained away sufficiently as Yan Zhaoge h
ad gradually been able to let go of his earlier reservations.
The Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture had already become Broad Creed Mountain’s new foundational martial art alongside the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture that Yuan Zhengfeng had obtained.
Yan Di had also perused it over at the Royal Reed Sea, though mostly just for reference considering the nature of his true martial intent.
As for Feng Yunsheng, the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture was undoubtedly the martial art that was the best fit for her to cultivate in now.
Also, her accomplishments in cultivating in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture would also far surpass that of others.
“The third pill is the Bearing Essence Grand Pill. This has no other uses apart from helping you to accumulate your essence and qi at a higher rate, thereby increasing your strength.”
For this sort of efficacious pill which had just a single effect, this single effect of the pill would be extremely prominent.
There had already been the corpses of numerous dragons and numerous treasures from the Dim Radiant Mausoleum in the Myriad Dragon Palace originally. Yan Zhaoge and the rest did not lack resources for the accumulation of their essence and qi at all.
A Bearing Essence Grand Pill, however, would still be useful now in further increasing the rate at which they absorbed and refined their essence and qi.
It could be said that in the long-term for a long, long time to come, the only difficulties that Yan Zhaoge and the others would meet in their cultivation would be bottlenecks in comprehension. Those that would have required time as well as slow, gradual accumulation would not exist at all.
The time spent on such things would be saved. Instead, they would be able to diligently focus on analysing their martial concepts.
Whatever benchmark was used, Yan Zhaoge’s group was composed of very talented individuals.
Therefore, such a shortcut would not be equivalent to pulling out the sprouts to hasten their growth or forcibly transmitting arts beyond one’s capabilities as it would not lead to foundational instability.
Still, one had to make sure not to become lazy in the long run as a result with their will dwindling.
Still, this was something to think about for the future and not something to worry about now.
Already knowing that there might be such a problem, with Yan Zhaoge and the others all being alert people, they would naturally think of a way to temper their will and mentalities with other methods.
Ah Hu and Xiao Ai were currently enthusiastically examining the pills before them as well.
There were also three pills before each of them, with the Bearing Essence Grand Pill being common to all of them. This was the sole pill they had that Feng Yunsheng also had, because everyone would similarly benefit from this pill, and it was also what they needed the most now.
Yan Zhaoge said, “Of Ah Hu’s other two pills, one is the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill that will directly strengthen the qi and blood of your fleshly body. These dragon and tiger are not the commonly seen ferocious dragon of the mountains and scaly dragon of the waters. Instead, these are a true dragon and demonic tiger that successfully cultivated to attain divinity that year, formed of obtaining the tiger’s bones and the dragon’s tendons and adding on other precious spiritual treasures for the concoction of the pill.”
“While we have the bodies of true dragons, the dragon that was used in the concoction of this Dragon Tiger Pill had a greater cultivation base. This is something extremely hard to come by.”
Ah Hu’s third pill was the Wind Thunder Providence Pill. After having consumed it, one would be able to directly swallow wind and thunder, water and fire into their bodies to temper themselves, strengthening their bodies to become sturdy and impenetrable as their strength and speed would also rise greatly as a result.
“Xiao Ai, your pills consist of a Spirit Connecting Golden Pill and a Glorious Sun Pill,” Yan Zhaoge said, “Considering your attainments in formations, your projections of them will be swifter and easier the more powerful your spirit is. The Spirit Connecting Golden Pill is well suited for that.”
While these were both pills which strengthened one’s spirit, Feng Yunsheng’s Clear Spiritual Sensory Pill was geared towards improving the acuity of her spirit while Xiao Ai’s Spirit Connecting Golden Pill was geared towards making it more resilient.
Xiao Ai nodded happily, “Young Master is indeed meticulous in his considerations.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “The next pill is the Glorious Sun Pill that is a pill of the spirit of fire. You primarily cultivate in the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture that nurtures the qi of lifeforms. You can transform a portion of your spiritual qi to the qi emitted by the Qinghua spirit of wood. Wood sustains fire, and can assist the Glorious Sun Pill in further increasing your cultivation speed.”
“The might of its fire is especially intense. Even if you are attempting to break through a bottleneck, with the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture as your foundation, you will not have to be worried about going too fast and instead failing to achieve things as a result.”
The trio had received different pills aside from the Bearing Essence Grand Pill, each with differing miraculous effects which were most suited to the individual.
“That’s all for now. Any more and you would be unable to refine and absorb their medicinal effects, that being detrimental instead,” While Yan Zhaoge might seem to have distributed the pills casually, he had actually considered all their situations in turn and selected for them what they most needed.
Ah Hu sighed in admiration, “Young Master, with such a great amount of efficacious medicinal pills, how did you manage to completely figure out all their functions within such a short period of time, understanding them just as you would your own family treasures? This is really too inconceivable.”
Xiao Ai frolicked about as she asked, “Young Master, Young Master! You’ve given us so many pills; have you left any for yourself?”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Really, where has there ever been a chef who has let himself go hungry?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 830: The thriving Buddhism
HSSB830: The thriving Buddhism
Yan Zhaoge would indeed not let himself go hungry.
To be precise, the medicinal pills he was going to consume numbered more than those of the other three of them combined.
Due to his higher cultivation base, he would be able to better refine the medicinal potency of these pills after having consumed them.
While organising these pills, Yan Zhaoge reached out and pressed down on the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.
True essence surged within his body, resembling chaos.
His foundation of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture exerted its use at this moment.
The Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace which had been silent in the first place seemed even quieter and more tranquil now.
While it currently looked no different at all on the outside, Yan Zhaoge could indistinctly see threads seemingly connected to the furnace amidst space.
There was now an indistinct clump of clouds around the furnace. While those threads had not been broken and snapped off, the furnace had been effectively concealed.
If someone wanted to find the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace through the Pill Hall, they would be in for some real disappointment.
Yan Zhaoge had not completely broken off the connection between the furnace and the Pill Hall such that he would a clue for locating it in the future.
Retracting his palm, Yan Zhaoge exited the Myriad Dragon Palace, landing atop the head of Pan-Pan.
Pan-Pan carried the Myriad Dragon Palace, flying through the air.
This world was not a desolate one. They had already passed quite a few villages amidst their travels.
Still, in order to better understand the entirety of this world, Yan Zhaoge had decided to look for a bigger human dwelling instead.
Soon, a massive city appeared over the horizon.
Yet, after obser
ving it carefully for a moment, Yan Zhaoge stopped Pan-Pan and did not approach.
Looking at that city, he frowned, not speaking for a long time.
That city was densely populated and bustling, not being some sort of ghost town.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge had to face it with even greater solemnity.
The area above the city was actually enveloped by a faint layer of Buddha light!
A tranquil, natural concept of impermanence naturally emanated from within. Yan Zhaoge could even hear the chanting of Buddhist scriptures which resounded endlessly far away in the distance.
It was not that many people in the city were currently chanting Buddhist scriptures. Instead, this was the manifestation of faith from the believers of Buddha in the city which turned from illusory to real, interfering with the actual world.
“This…” Yan Zhaoge was truly rather astonished, never having thought that the world he had arrived in by chance would actually be a world in which Buddhism flourished.
Before this, Yan Zhaoge had still felt it rather strange why he had never seen the legacies and shrines of Buddhism before.
After all, Buddhism had been flourishing more greatly than Daoism before the Great Calamity came.
Following the Great Calamity, Daoism had fallen greatly while Buddhism had actually disappeared completely without a trace, without even a trace of their scriptures left behind. This was unusual however one looked at it.
Whether it was lower worlds like the Eight Extremities World, the Vast Ocean World and the Floating Gate World or the World beyond Worlds, they all contained many relic sites from pre-Great Calamity times.
A considerable portion of the martial legacies now had been resumed upon the basis of unearthed legacies from the past.
It did not make sense that some from Daoism had survived the Great Calamity whereas Buddhism had been completely wiped out, not a single trace of it being left behind.
Unless the Great Calamity had been targeted against Buddhism in the first place, meant entirely to wipe it out for good.
However, from Yan Zhaoge’s impressions of the Great Calamity, the tribulation had first descended upon the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace.
