Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 577: The Pill Tower, The Immortal Golden Pill!

“My celestial power has greatly increased, reaching its limit, and both my celestial body and celestial soul have also strengthened considerably, enhancing my overall strength significantly. However, I am still a bit short of becoming a Child of the Era,” Ye Tian mused to himself.

Yes, he was indeed just a little short.

Ye Tian could sense a kind of shackle within the unknown, tantalizingly within reach. Breaking through this barrier would allow him to ascend to the battle power of a Child of the Era and become the first such being in this universe.

But this bottleneck was not easy to break through. Currently, there were few avenues available for Ye Tian to improve, and all required a considerable amount of time. Such progress could not be achieved overnight.

For instance, if Ye Tian could ascend to the fourth stage of life, he might be able to break the shackle. However, achieving the fourth stage of life at present was not only difficult but also a tremendously challenging task.

The reason Ye Tian was able to advance the Heavenly Origin True Method to the third layer so quickly was that he was already a third-stage being, hence he faced no bottlenecks and reached the third layer with ease.

Advancing to the fourth layer of the Heavenly Origin True Method, however, was not as straightforward. It required cultivation in a special environment.

The Art of Immortality needed necrotic energy for advancement, and although the difficulty of advancing the fourth layer of the Heavenly Origin True Method was less than the Art of Immortality, it was still immensely challenging.

Ye Tian needed to find a location with Thousand Weak Waters and another with Thousand Heavy Waters. By exposing himself to both forms of water and undergoing their baptism, he could attempt to break through to the fourth layer of the Heavenly Origin True Method.

However, the fearsome nature of both the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters made even locating them a daunting task. Entering these waters meant almost certain death.

Weak water had terrifying corrosive properties, and heavy water exerted immense pressure.

With his current strength, Ye Tian could hardly withstand the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters unless he used special methods.

“Dominator Dark!” Ye Tian called out.

In the next moment, Dominator Dark appeared before Ye Tian.

“Your Highness, what do you command?” Dominator Dark inquired.

“Dominator Dark, I need to know where I can find the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters. Also, with my current strength, how can I withstand their power?” Ye Tian earnestly asked.

Seeing Ye Tian’s serious expression and considering the suddenness of his query, Dominator Dark surmised that Ye Tian must be intending to cultivate some secret technique requiring the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters.

A technique that needed such resources was surely earth-shattering, and ordinary individuals were not usually qualified to cultivate it.

However, considering Ye Tian’s situation and his extraordinary capabilities, it wasn’t too surprising.

“Your Highness, I know of some locations where both the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters exist. It might be inconvenient if they are too far apart, considering your immediate need. However, there is one place that possesses both, perfectly suited for your cultivation needs. This place is under the domain of the Divine Blade Alliance, the Blue Water Realm, where various water-based cultivation environments exist, including both the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters.

As for how to enable Your Highness to withstand the power of the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters, that might be somewhat difficult,” Dominator Dark remarked, frowning slightly as if pondering deeply.

“A difficult task indicates there is still a way. Please, Dominator Dark, elaborate,” Ye Tian urged.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Dominator Dark spoke, “I know of several methods, but currently, only two are suitable for Your Highness. The first method is to find the essence of million-year Gui Water to protect your physical body so you can withstand the forces of the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters. However, the essence of million-year Gui Water is exceedingly rare, and even I do not know where it might be found.

The second method involves using the Immortal Golden Pill to protect your body, which could allow you to withstand the power of both the Thousand Weak and Heavy Waters.”

“The Immortal Golden Pill, where can it be found?” Ye Tian asked, intrigued.

“One of the nine Supreme Forces, the Pill Tower!” Dominator Dark replied.

“The Pill Tower!”

Ye Tian was aware of this Supreme Force, one of the nine that tended to keep a low profile. Its strength was slightly weaker, but the Pill Tower played a significant role among the Supreme Forces.

The Pill Tower was divided into two forces: one for battle and one for alchemy. The battle force protected the Pill Tower, while the alchemy force primarily crafted pills, which were a relatively common resource that many cultivators needed. However, for individuals like Ye Tian, using pills to enhance cultivation was not beneficial; only power cultivated step-by-step on one’s own was more pure.

Nevertheless, for the majority of human warriors, the benefits of pills were tremendous, hence many desired to enhance their cultivation through them.

The Pill Tower’s pills included those that enhanced cultivation, healed injuries, temporarily boosted strength, and even those that enhanced talents, including Talent Pills and grade-enhancing pills, as well as various other rare pills.

High-grade pills for humanity were almost exclusively available from the Pill Tower.

Through Dominator Dark’s explanation, Ye Tian understood the uses of the Immortal Golden Pill.

The Immortal Golden Pill was a life-saving pill that could coat the body with a golden layer for a short duration, enhancing defense and protecting against many forms of energy invasion and attacks.

Of course, such a pill was extremely precious, and even some Galaxy-level powers were reluctant to use it.

“Dominator Dark, if I were to purchase the Immortal Golden Pill from the Pill Tower, could I obtain it?” Ye Tian inquired.

“That might be difficult,” Dominator Dark responded. “It’s not a matter of price but of scarcity. The materials for the Immortal Golden Pill are quite rare, and not many can be produced each time. Moreover, the demand is high since the Immortal Golden Pill is one of the best life-saving treasures for weaker deities, and everyone wants to acquire one.”

“I’m not sure if the Pill Tower is willing to sell a few pills to Your Majesty, but I can inquire with a few old friends from the Pill Tower.”

“Thank you, Dominator Dark!” Ye Tian expressed his gratitude.

“Your Highness is too polite. As your guardian, it is my duty,” Dominator Dark replied before departing.

Ye Tian quietly awaited news from Dominator Dark, and three days later, Dominator Dark returned.

“Your Highness, I contacted a few of my old friends. Unfortunately, the current stock of the Immortal Golden Pills at the Pill Tower has almost been depleted, and the remaining pills have already been reserved. It would be difficult for my friends to cancel others’ reservations for these pills,” Dominator Dark said with a sense of helplessness.

“So, there’s no hope?” Ye Tian felt a wave of disappointment. Just when he thought there might be a chance, it seemed futile.

“No!” Dominator Dark quickly added, “There is still one way. Soon, the Pill Tower will begin refining another batch of Immortal Golden Pills. Gathering the materials for the pills is quite troublesome and difficult. If Your Highness is willing to assist, the Pill Tower is prepared to reward Your Highness with some Immortal Golden Pills in exchange for your contribution.”

“What specifically needs to be done?” Ye Tian inquired.

Dominator Dark detailed the situation, and Ye Tian quickly grasped the essence.

It turned out that among the materials needed for the Immortal Golden Pills, two were incredibly rare and scarce, found only in a few places. The safest of these was the Nether Flower Realm.

The Nether Flower Realm was an area that only God level beings could enter. However, the main issue was that inside the Nether Flower Realm, there were True God level creatures.

In such a world unfriendly to outsiders, the essential ingredients for the Immortal Golden Pill, the Purple Sandalwood Flower and Golden Bone Tree Leaves, could be found. Without these two components, the Immortal Golden Pills could not be refined.

Entering the Nether Flower Realm was highly dangerous for God level beings, with the risk of death lurking at every corner.

Every time the Pill Tower collected Purple Sandalwood Flowers and Golden Bone Tree Leaves, it suffered significant losses of God level beings. Despite the pain of such losses, they had no choice but to collect these materials, given the importance of the Immortal Golden Pills.

To mitigate these losses, every time they collected these materials, the Pill Tower also recruited a group of external God level beings to gather Purple Sandalwood Flowers and Golden Bone Tree Leaves.

Despite the known risks of collecting these materials, the rewards offered by the Pill Tower were too valuable, enticing many to enter the Nether Flower Realm.

This was how the Pill Tower minimized its losses, although still substantial.

“The Pill Tower wants me to go to the Nether Flower Realm!” Ye Tian understood the Pill Tower’s plan. Clearly, they valued his strength. With his capabilities, if he entered the Nether Flower Realm, he could certainly help the Pill Tower obtain a large quantity of Purple Sandalwood Flowers and Golden Bone Tree Leaves in exchange for just a few Immortal Golden Pills.

This deal was extremely beneficial for the Pill Tower, advantageous in every way.

Ye Tian also recognized that it was a loss-making deal for him, but he indeed needed the Immortal Golden Pills and had no choice but to agree.

“Dominator Dark, inform the Pill Tower that I am willing to go to the Nether Flower Realm. When do we leave?” Ye Tian asked.

“In about three months’ time,” Dominator Dark replied.

Immediately, Dominator Dark went to notify the Pill Tower, and they provided a specific timetable. Five months later, Ye Tian would enter the Nether Flower Realm, and he needed to arrive at the Pill Tower four months from now.

In the blink of an eye, four months passed.

On this day.

Under the escort of Dominator Dark, Ye Tian entered the Sacred Pill System where the Pill Tower was located.

The architecture of the Pill Tower consisted of various towers, some so large that they rivaled a planet in size, which astounded Ye Tian.

Upon entering the Pill Tower, Ye Tian was accommodated in one of the towers.

Inside one of the towers of the Pill Tower.

A woman in white was listening to the narration of a Planetary System level servant.

“Third Miss, the master has agreed to let you enter the Nether Flower Realm,” the servant informed her.

“Why has Father suddenly agreed?” The woman in white, Lu Qinghan, known as Fairy Qinghan and a daughter of one of the Pill Tower’s rulers, was curious. Her identity was immensely prestigious, and although she was only a ninth-tier God, her strength was considered top-tier

Tithin the Pill Tower.

However, precisely because of her esteemed status, the Pill Tower was hesitant to allow her into dangerous places, and the Nether Flower Realm was particularly perilous. If any danger arose, even a Supreme couldn’t enter to rescue her.

Thus, Fairy Qinghan thought her father would refuse her request.

But unexpectedly, this time, her father had agreed, which was beyond her expectations.

“It seems the Pill Tower has invited a very powerful God level being!” the Planetary System level servant explained.
