Chapter 155 The Sun and Moon Soul-Nourishing Pill and One Year Later

After all, in the foreseeable future, the abilities of Soul Masters will still be the dominant force, and although Soul Tools may have miraculous effects in many cases, their ultimate limit is still too low.

Of course, Kong Tianxu could not directly tell Kong Deming this reason; he used the usual excuse of slowing down his cultivation.

However, in reality, the effects of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red have not been fully digested by him yet, and even if he cultivates the Soul Guidance System in the short term, it will not affect his speed.

Kong Deming chuckled and said, "Xu'er, you dug this hole for yourself. Do you still remember those Ice Extreme Divine Crystals you brought back?" Kong Tianxu certainly remembered. These were the things he brought out from the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Cave under the Cold Spring of the Earth Dragon Gate. Although their value was not as high as the most precious Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow inside, they were still rare and valuable items.

It is the hardest and most flexible ice-attribute metal, and it is also the best ice-attribute soul power conductor and amplifier. It is a top-tier rare metal.

Seeing Kong Tianxu nod, Kong Deming continued, "The name you gave it is excellent. It truly lives up to its name as Divine Crystal. It looks like a crystal, but it possesses the ductility of metal. I've never seen this rare metal before. Its quality is comparable to, and even surpasses, any of the top-tier rare metals available today. In other words, it's a material capable of being used to make level nine soul tools, and even level ten soul tools in the future. Most importantly, some of its properties perfectly overcome the biggest challenge currently faced with armor-type humanoid soul tools."

"However, there's something you probably didn't expect. According to my research, this Ice Extreme Divine Crystal continuously releases extreme cold air below minus 150 degrees Celsius during forging, and its temperature changes constantly as the forging process progresses. With my current cultivation level, the forging process will be extremely slow, and only an extreme ice possessor like you can remain unaffected."

Kong Deming waved his hand helplessly. Then, with a mischievous smile, he stuffed a thick stack of design drawings into Kong Tianxu's hands.

"Therefore, Xu'er, the heavy responsibility of laying the foundation for the new era of soul tools falls on your shoulders."

These more than thirty blueprints are all for a single level eight soul tool. The complexity of advanced soul tools is evident: the outer shell structure, core magic array, energy connection, activation module, key components—all designs must be categorized, and after production, they must be precisely assembled and repeatedly tested to ensure the perfection of the final product.

Kong Tianxu immediately frowned. He knew about this characteristic of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, but he never expected that even his grandfather, who was at the Limit Douluo level, would be affected.

But then, something occurred to him, and his furrowed brows immediately relaxed as he took the drawings without any hesitation.

"Grandpa, I remember you said during our sparring sessions that once you become a Super Douluo, you'll have a special way to block out the interference of ordinary Extreme Ice, right?"

"I did say that, but Xu'er, Grandpa's bottleneck has only recently shown signs of breaking through. You don't really think that what you brought can help Grandpa break through to level 95 in a short time, do you?" Kong Deming said, both amused and exasperated. "Grandpa has taken more pills in his life than you have eaten meals, they're all useless now."

"That's not necessarily true. I've also drafted a formula, which is an improved version of the legendary divine pill, the Sun and Moon Soul-Nourishing Pill, from the Empire. You can take a look and see what you think."

Kong Tianxu smiled mysteriously, picked up the blueprints, and walked towards his research room, which he had already prepared.

"If there are any ingredients you don't recognize, you can ask me, Grandpa."

"You brat," Kong Deming chuckled and shook his head, "where did you get this good stuff from, and when did you learn alchemy? So confident?"

Kong Deming probed his spiritual power into the storage soul tool, and was immediately and deeply shocked by a vast expanse of profound, radiant light. "Xu'er!"

As Kong Tianxu had expected, Kong Deming's eyes lit up when he saw the essence of the rare and precious materials in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He immediately forgot about being an eighth-level Soul Master and started researching how to refine them in the best way.

Kong Tianxu believed that the pill formula he had come up with was already the best it could be, but Kong Deming wanted to refine it even further. He took very small amounts and tried it dozens of times, constantly adjusting and refining it according to the different properties of the rare and precious medicinal materials, taking the essence and discarding the dross.

After everything was adjusted, the refined essence was then blended together to create the final batch of pills that combined almost all the rare and precious materials brought back.

At the beginning, Kong Deming was able to easily refine the pills simply by relying on his own strength and the power of the alchemy furnace.

However, as time went on, the essence of those rare and precious herbs was fully activated. Coupled with the mutual enhancement of the mixed medicinal formulas, the power that erupted became greater and greater. Even Kong Deming's peak level nine alchemy furnace could not withstand it and had to rely on his own soul power to maintain it.

Unlike the Qiankun Creation Pill, the pill formula developed by Kong Tianxu does not release any medicinal fragrance during the refining process. The medicinal power is completely locked within the pill, which is why this pill is called the Sun and Moon Soul Nourishing Pill. The pill's soul is contained within, which not only maximizes the medicinal power but also has a nourishing effect from the inside out. Soul Masters of any level can absorb it without worrying about the medicinal effect being too strong.

The essence of sixty-nine kinds of rare and precious materials took a full eighty-one days to refine. Finally, only when Kong Tianxu activated his destructive divine nature was the intense medicinal properties within the alchemy furnace completely subdued and condensed into form.

In the end, only nine pills were successfully formed.

Its effects were even greater than those of the Qiankun Creation Pill. After Kong Deming consumed it, he only digested a portion of its medicinal power before his soul power cultivation directly surged to level 96, fulfilling his long-cherished wish. He was even poised to break through to level 97 at any moment. Cain, on the other hand, also leaped from a mid-level Soul Master to a level 50 Quasi-Soul King.

Kong Tianxu sealed away the remaining seven, and no one else, including himself, used them.

The aura of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red within him had not yet fully integrated with him. If he were to directly enhance his cultivation through the pills from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in a short period of time, the effect would be greatly reduced. Moreover, the effect of this kind of pill is best the first time it is taken, and he wanted to use it at a crucial moment.

It felt like we were back at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with cultivation, soul master training, and discussions and practices about alchemy interspersed throughout.

Kong Tianxu felt that a year had passed in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by the white wake-up service of Xue Di and the black night of Cain, he was touched, expanded, and squeezed by a kind of silky feeling that was either slightly cool or warm, and then suddenly burst open, turning into a kind of mottled between black and white.

A year later, in silence, Kong Tianxu used the Creator's Judgment Knife, which shone with emerald green light in his left hand, and the Golden Scale Sacred Sigh in his right hand to outline a perfect closed loop on the diamond and refined gold in front of him.

The metal dust that had just been stirred up was instantly compacted by an invisible force field, and the crisscrossing golden threads between the indigo patterns reflected a natural cyan-gold luster.
