Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 236 - 234: Void Shifting

"Fifth Tier!"

"Even the very pinnacle of the Fifth Tier?"

When Xu Yang nodded, Mr. Tong’s eyes flashed with astonishment!

Some of Xu Yang’s information is compiled in detail before the desks of the major figures!

Mainly, it is simply too astounding! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Looking back over Daqian’s centuries of history, this is the first time anything like it has happened.

Coupled with his identity and the commotion he’s caused, it’s impossible not to pay attention.

Perhaps people don’t know what Xu Yang looks like, but they most certainly know his name!

Not yet twenty years old, yet able to concoct the very pinnacle of Fifth Tier, super-grade pills!

King Beixuan’s Estate... alas!

Mr. Tong sighed inwardly, his smile growing even more radiant.

He reckoned that in a few years, he too would have to seek Xu Yang’s aid.

"Mr. Xu, rest assured, this is a good thing!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang felt his heart lighten.

It looks like it’s really time for pill concocting.

Following Mr. Tong to a study’s door, Mr. Tong respectfully announced, "My lord, Mr. Xu has arrived."

"Come in!"

A calm and scholarly voice came from inside the room.

Mr. Tong nodded slightly.

Xu Yang stepped forward and opened the door to enter.

The study was not large. A middle-aged man, plainly dressed, sat cross-legged behind a long table on one side.

He was thin of body, and while his demeanor was cultured, Xu Yang could still sense an invisible aura of authority!

It was the kind of air cultivated over long years in a high position.

"This junior, Xu Yang, greets the Prefect!"

Xu Yang quickly lowered his head and gave a respectful salute.

The Prefect smiled as he sized up Xu Yang. "Your name has been thunderously renowned of late, at last I meet you in person!"

That tone...

Xu Yang was startled, not anxious but rather surprised, for this manner of speaking was clearly akin to teasing a younger relative.

"My lord flatters me," Xu Yang replied, raising his head slightly, his tone neither arrogant nor servile.

The Prefect smiled gently, "The reason I summoned you: First, I wished to meet you in person. Second, I have a daughter whose talents are merely mediocre, currently just at the Yin Realm."

Xu Yang raised his brow slightly. For the Prefect of the Central Province, his daughter’s cultivation only in Yin Realm could only be called exceedingly ordinary.

"Here is the pill recipe, take a look."

The Prefect lifted his hand, and a scroll appeared on the desk as if by magic.

Xu Yang hurried forward, picked up the ancient scroll and unfurled it.

"Jade Star Bone-Changing Elixir?"

Xu Yang’s pupils constricted.

"You know of this pill?" The Prefect looked at Xu Yang in surprise.

Xu Yang nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, my lord, I once chanced upon the legacy of a master in the Alchemy Dao."

As for Gu Jun, he certainly would not reveal it rashly!

This Jade Star Bone-Changing Elixir, pinnacle of Fifth Tier, is truly remarkable.

It requires the blood and bones of some rare spirit beasts, as well as several precious spirit herbs in combination.

Once refined, it can replace bone and marrow, transforming a martial artist’s talent!

For those with average talent, after taking this pill, their aptitudes improve at least a tier or two.

If of super-grade quality... there is great hope to leap and become a chosen genius!

Of course, if one’s talent was average to begin with, they could not hope to reach the level of someone like Zheng Qi.

Yet even so, it remains incredibly precious!

But the spirit beast blood and bones required for this pill are fiendishly difficult to procure!

The difficulty of refining it is nearly on par with the special Sword Elixir needed by Ning Wuyang!

The Prefect smiled in relief upon hearing this.

"Well? Can you refine it?"

"At least three sets of materials are required to refine the super-grade version. May I ask..." Xu Yang asked directly.

The Prefect burst out laughing, "Don’t worry about ingredients. Not just three batches, even five, we have them!"

Xu Yang secretly clicked his tongue.

Even with all the influence he’s amassed, he would not dare say he could gather even one complete set in a short time. But the Prefect speaks of three or five—truly worthy of his status!

The rank of a Provincial Prefect is only a notch below Zheng Xuan!

And as the Prefect of the Central Province defending the capital, his standing isn’t beneath Prince Zheng Xuan!

"I must trouble my lord to prepare a secret chamber for me."

"Mr. Tong will take you."

"What reward do you seek?"

Reward?

Xu Yang was taken aback, then said solemnly, "My lord, earlier Mr. Tong helped me out of a predicament. That is already the greatest reward!"

A gleam of appreciation flashed in the Prefect’s eyes, then he waved his hand, "Business is business!"

Er...

Xu Yang saw the Prefect wasn’t joking. After a moment’s thought, he said, "My lord, might I request a Void Shifting Talisman? Preferably a directional one."

"Directional Void Shifting Talisman?"

The Prefect eyed Xu Yang with interest, "To what location?"

"Celestial Prison Forbidden Land!"

"When you finish refining the pill, I will give it to you."

"Many thanks, my lord!"

Xu Yang’s face flooded with joy as he clasped his fists in gratitude.

Truth be told, for refining a pill for the Prefect’s daughter, he hadn’t thought to ask for any reward!

The value of Mr. Tong’s rescue alone surpasses this!

He hadn’t expected an extra windfall!

The rarity of the Void Shifting Talisman is self-evident—even Myriad Phenomena Realm experts would struggle to interfere without special means!

And one that is directional, even more extraordinary!

His request for this item had been considered thoroughly!

Wuhou Hall will not move against him openly, but in secret, they’re far from giving up!

And there’s Chen Wanxing!

Even as he departed Wuhou Hall, he sensed a flash of murderous intent from Huangfu Qing!

Now he’s about to head to the Purple Fire Celestial Prison; just in case, with this Directional Void Shifting Talisman, even if something happens, he can safeguard himself!

Immediately, Xu Yang swiftly exited the room.

Suddenly, another figure appeared inside the study.

The Prefect lifted his eyes slightly, looked at the newcomer, and sighed, "Any regrets?"

"Why would this King have regrets?" Zheng Xuan replied with a faint smile.

The Prefect frowned slightly, "What exactly are you doing? And the Emperor..."

The current situation, and Zheng Xuan’s behavior, left him quite baffled and unable to see through things!

"Don’t dwell on it. You’ll never figure it out."

"Just do your job in Central Province well!"

Zheng Xuan sat cross-legged on the floor, staring at the Prefect, "Soon enough, you’ll understand everything. By then, I may need your help... Hm? Perhaps by then, even he won’t need your help."

"Xu Yang?" The Prefect furrowed his brow deeply, utterly at a loss!

Zheng Xuan merely smiled, not saying a word!

The Prefect rubbed his brow, giving a bitter smile, "Forget it!"

"You are heading to the Northern Territory, for what purpose?"

Zheng Xuan replied blandly, "Someone seeks to force this King to show himself; this King will simply oblige."

The Prefect’s brows knitted tightly, "Northern Territory and Leizhou..."

"Don’t worry, everything is in His Majesty’s hands!" Zheng Xuan answered mysteriously, his lips curled in a smile.

...

The next day’s dusk!

Xu Yang walked out of the secret chamber, face pale.

The pinnacle Fifth Tier super-grade pill, though, with his current strength, he could concoct it, the depletion was immense.

He would need at least four or five days to recover before attempting to refine Ning Wuyang’s Sword Elixir!

"Mr. Tong, I have not failed the task!"

Xu Yang opened his palm, revealing a super-grade Jade Star Bone-Changing Elixir for Mr. Tong!

After taking this pill, the martial artist’s entire bones and tendons will transform into Jade Star Spirit Bone—truly a change of fate!

The pill’s surface gleamed like jade, adorned with starlike glimmers of spiritual light.

At a glance, it was as if gorgeous, peerless stars were about to break free and take flight.

One pill, looking more like a miniature starry sky!

Mr. Tong was shaken in spite of himself.

"Is this the super-grade Jade Star Bone-Changing Elixir?"

With his strength, he could clearly sense the ineffable mysteries within, utterly intoxicating!

"Super-grade Jade Star Bone-Changing Elixir; if my lord’s daughter has merely ordinary talent, conservatively speaking, with this she can leap to the level of a typical Marquis Wu in Wuhou Hall!"

This was already a very conservative statement.

If her talent matched the normal disciples of Wuhou Hall, the results would be even better, even giving her a chance to reach the standard of a titled Marquis Wu.

"However, she must endure tremendous pain!" Xu Yang warned.

For it would replace all the bones and tendons in her body!

Mr. Tong secretly clicked his tongue, took a deep breath, carefully stowed away the pill, and nodded to Xu Yang.

"Mr. Xu, here is your reward!"

Mr. Tong produced two spirit talismans.

Xu Yang glanced at them, stupefied, "Mr. Tong, wasn’t it supposed to be one Directional Void Shifting Talisman?"

Why are there two talismans?

What is the other one?
