Divine God Against The Heavens

The patriarch of the Zhu Family took out a black fruit that actually looked like a round black crystal, gave it to Ye Xiao, and said, "Young Friend Ye Xiao, here is the Crystal Ink Fruit. As for the fifty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, are you sure you don't want them?"

"Yes, I am!" Ye Xiao took the Crystal Ink Fruit from the Zhu Family's Patriarch and stored it in his spatial ring.

Now, he has all the ingredients needed to refine the Ice Heart Pill. He can now start refining but before that, Ye Xiao planned to find a silent and peaceful place so that no one could disturb him.

Although he showed that he was storing the Crystal Ink Fruit in his spatial ring, in actuality, he gave the Crystal Ink Fruit along with the other three medicinal herbs to Little Yellow so that she can help him plant these herbs on the second floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

After taking the Crystal Ink Fruit just as Ye Xiao was about to bid farewell, the patriarch of the Zhu Family hesitated for a while and then said, "Brother Ye Xiao, can you stay in my Zhu Family for a few days. I have to discuss something with you but before that, I have to talk something with the Great Elder of my Zhu Family who is also a Pill King."

"A pill king?" Ye Xiao was surprised. He did not think that the Zhu Family actually has a Pill King.

"Yes. This matter is very important for my Zhu Family so I need to discuss it with the Great Elder first. Only then can I discuss it with you. As for now, please stay in the Zhu Family as a guest."

Ye Xiao thought for a while and then agreed with the patriarch of the Zhu Family. He also needed to find a place where he can refine the Ice Heart Pill peacefully and what can be better than the Zhu Family. So he agreed.

Next, the Zhu Family's patriarch asked for Ye Xiao's cultivation level and after getting the answer from Ye Xiao, although he was surprised, he did not think too much about it.

When Ye Xiao was refining the Mystical rank Sword for his daughter with the Blue Fire Soul, he already guessed that Ye Xiao's cultivation was not low.

And since he was unable to see through his cultivation, the patriarch of the Zhu Family guessed that Ye Xiao might be stronger than him. And his guess was actually right.

He let an elder of the Zhu Family take Ye Xiao to a room.

Ye Xiao arrived at a spacious room. After bringing him here, the elder of the Zhu Family went back.

Ye Xiao closed the door and entered the Heavenly Pearl.

He arrived at the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and adjusted his body's state for three whole days, bringing it to the peak.

Outside, it was only one day.

After adjusting his condition, Ye Xiao went to the Second Floor and plucked off every medicinal herb needed to refine the Ice Heart Pill.

This one day was enough to let the medicinal herb evolve to the next stage and giving birth to some new sprouts.

If it was in the Grassland, it would have taken at least two to three days of time to multiply but at the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, one day was enough.

After taking the medicinal herbs, he once again returned to the Frist Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and took out his cauldron.

This cauldron was something his master gave him when he was accepted as his master's disciple. At that time, Grandmaster Wang told him that this cauldron was a gift from his master when he first became an Alchemy Master.

When Ye Xiao received this cauldron, he thought that it was a Low-Grade Spirit Rank cauldron but after merging with the memories of three Ancient Gods, he learned that the level of this cauldron is already beyond the limit of the Lower Realm. This cauldron was actually a Low-Grade Immortal Rank Cauldron.

Grandmaster Wang also did not clear his doubt at that time because of which he misunderstood the quality of this cauldron.

After taking out the cauldron, Ye Xiao clasped his hands, took a deep breath, and lit up the fire.

Ye Xiao added the Violet Lotus Grass first. After some time, it started to wither while leaving behind all of its essences. Then Ye Xiao threw the Dead Tree Root inside the cauldron.

When the Dead Tree Root was added, the essence left behind by the Violet Lotus Grass started to coil around it. Soon, the Dead Tree Root was also refined and mixed with the essence of the Violet Lotus Grass.

When both of them were mixed perfectly, Ye Xiao threw the Three Thousand Years Old Thunder Bamboo and Crystal Ink Fruit together inside the cauldron. This time, he controlled the Blue Fire Soul and increased the temperature, and made sure that this temperature does not affect the mixed product of the Violet Lotus Grass and Dead Tree Root.

Soon, both the Three Thousand Years Old Thunder Bamboo and the Crystal ink Fruit also left behind their essences. This time, Ye Xiao did not mix these two essences but started to dissipate the thunder property from the essence left behind by the Three Thousand Years Old Thunder Bamboo.

Thunder is the main property of Thunder Bamboo but if the Thunder Bamboo were to lose this property, it will become as cold as ice.

After Ye Xiao has done with the Three Thousand Years Old Thunder Bamboo's essence, he took out the main ingredient to refine the Ice Heart Pill, the Ice Lotus.

This time, he did not directly threw the Ice Lotus in the cauldron but plucked off the petals of Ice Lotus and started to refine it one by one. It took him around ten hours to completely refine the Ice Lotus.

After refining the Ice Lotus, Ye Xiao carefully started to merge the liquid left behind by it into the essences left behind by the four medicinal herbs.

This was the main as well as a critical step. He can not lose focus at this time. He focused all of his concentration to add the liquid left behind by the Ice Lotus into the essences of four medicinal herbs.

Another three hours later, he completed the main step successfully.

He had already merged the essences of the Violet Lotus Grass and the Three Thousand Years Old Thunder Bamboo. Now he just has to merge everything inside the cauldron together.

He decreased the temperature and slowly started to merge everything. Around four hours later, after merging everything together, he divided the essence inside into three parts which slowly turned into three whirlpools.

Slowly, these three whirlpools inside the cauldron started to take shape and it did not take long before three round-shaped balls appeared inside the cauldron.

The refinement of Ice Heart Pill was successful.

Ye Xiao opened the lid of the cauldron and three light blue coloured pills flew out of the cauldron. Ye Xiao caught them and put them inside a pill bottle.

It took Ye Xiao around twenty hours to concoct the Ice Heart Pill.

The Ice Heart Pill that Ye Xiao concocted was a Tier 7 Pill.

Normally, to ordinary Pill King, it takes around two days to concoct a Tier 7 Pill but Ye Xiao only took around twenty hours to refine the Ice Heart Pill which was really amazing.

Well, if he could not even shorten the time to concoct a pill, wouldn't that be an insult to the knowledge he gained from the memories of the Ancient Pill God.

Ye Xiao did not immediately eat the Ice Heart Pill to obtain the Ice Elemental Body. Instead, he first meditated to bring his condition to the peak and came out of the Heavenly Pearl.

.....

Ye Xiao spent around two days inside the Heavenly Pearl and in these two days, the Zhu Family's Patriarch sent his men to the Medicine Pavilion to inform the Pill King Zhu to come back.

Pill King Zhu also does not have anything to do in the Medicine Pavilion so he came back to the Zhu Family.

After he comes back, the patriarch of the Zhu Family held a meeting.

_Inside the great hall of the Zhu Family_

All the elders of the Zhu Family were sitting and their face has a serious expression. It could be seen that currently, the Zhu Family was discussing something serious.

"Are you sure about it?" Pill King Zhu who was also the Great Elder of the Zhu Family asked with a serious expression. He said, "Patriarch, you have to know that no outsider has ever entered the Infernal Phoenix Plane left behind by Ancestor. What if he becomes greedy. He is far stronger than us and we could not stop him if he decided to attack our Zhu Family to take away that thing."
