Chapter 1663 Life and Death Pills
Chapter 1663: Life and Death Pills Chapter 1663: Life and Death Pills Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation One of the pills appeared pitch-black, almost poisonous, emanating a pure deathly aura. The other was green, symbolizing boundless life force: Life and Death Pills.
Despite their potency, they hadn’t yet achieved supreme-grade quality.
“We used the Spirit Opening Pill refining method, but we’re far from supreme-grade,” sighed the pill banished immortal.
“The Spirit Opening Pill is entirely different from these,” Braydon Neal remarked. He crushed the black pill, unleashing a deathly aura that instantly withered plants within a five-kilometer radius. Then, he crushed the green pill, restoring vitality to the surroundings.
Braydon realized these pills disrupted the path rules. He understood why Life and Death Pills were classified as path pills—they encapsulated complete path rules. Failing to master this complexity hindered their quality.
“The pill banished immortal and others refined pills, shattering path laws,” Braydon reflected. This complexity explained the lack of quality improvement.
“No wonder each Death and Life Pill in our military warehouse costs 10,000 battle merits,” he concluded. This price equated to the reward for killing a life and death realm beast.
Opening the pill cauldron, Braydon retrieved a black spirit herb: death grass. Mere contact posed a risk to non-life and death realm cultivators, depleting life energy and potentially fatal even to holy masters.
This type of spirit herb was formidable indeed, especially as the main ingredient for refining the Death Pill. With a focused mind, Braydon activated the dual-pupils technique.
The dual-pupils glowed with intensity. Under their gaze, the spirit grass before him disintegrated effortlessly. A pinky-sized black path law emerged—the innate death path law—its value immeasurable.
Slowly, the essence of the spirit herbs condensed into a ball, integrating the laws of the path. Braydon then retrieved 27 other types of spirit herbs, each extremely cold, unfit for ordinary cultivators.
These herbs formed the core ingredients for the Death Pill, their essences refined by the primordial chaos fire. With the dual-pupils technique, Braydon scrutinized each ball of spirit liquid, exposing and expelling impurities with the primordial chaos fire.
The result: perfect-grade medicinal liquid—crystal clear like jade, a sight new to Braydon. As the liquid solidified, he divided it into ten small pills. True fire surged, shaping each core’s outer shell into a beautiful coat.
Ten pills emerged. Braydon swiftly revealed one, cracking open its gray exterior with his palm to unveil the original pill inside—a pitch-black sphere, deep as ink with a misty layer. Most strikingly, a black halo adorned its surface.
There were nine halos in total, circling nobly around the pill—a breathtaking sight that exuded a noble aura.
“The Nine-halo Death Pill!” exclaimed the pill banished immortal in awe.
Even supreme-grade pills possessed pill halos, but these were adorned with nine pill halos—a testament to their exceptional quality.
More astonishingly, all ten pills were identical in perfection.
“Absolutely right!” Braydon’s eyes sparkled.
“When the spiritual liquid reaches flawless purity, you can refine a supreme-grade medicinal pill.” Little did he know, Braydon’s dual-pupils played a crucial role in perfectly extracting the path laws. For refining such a supreme-grade medicinal pill, luck played no part—only sheer talent. Braydon had discovered a groundbreaking method for pill refinement.
The ten thousand banished immortals commenced their refining work. Though their alchemical talents varied, their efficiency remained exceptionally formidable.
Meanwhile, Braedy Leite had already dispatched millions of sets of alchemical materials to the Northern Army. Among them were the necessary medicinal herbs for Life and Death Pills. The formulas for path pills required at each realm were almost public knowledge, a testament to the brilliance of cultivation civilization.
Over the following days, more than 100,000 cauldrons of path pills were produced—over a million pills in total, all of them precious Life and Death Pills.
Braydon summoned Braedy.
“Your Highness,” Braedy greeted with a bow.
“According to military supply prices, a life and death realm path pill, whether a Life Pill or a Death Pill, is valued at tens of thousands of battle merits,” Braydon stated, eyeing him.
Braedy nodded.
“Indeed.
A low-grade Death Pill fetches such a price.
If Your Highness possesses a supreme-grade Dao Pill, it would command an even higher price.” The race’s stance on supreme-grade medicinal pills was clear—they would acquire as many as possible. Braydon extended his hand, tossing a jade bottle to Braedy.
“Open it and see,” he said with a faint smile.
Braedy opened the bottle, his eyes widening in astonishment.
“A Nine-halo Death Pill!” he exclaimed, staring at the pill glowing with nine black halos.
“This is extraordinary!” “Give me a valuation,” Braydon urged with a smile.
“Whew,” Braedy exhaled deeply, a complex expression crossing his face. He now held a newfound appreciation for Braydon’s talent. The youth before him was truly exceptional, possessing an array of astonishing techniques. He hadn’t anticipated such formidable skill in pill refinement.
“Low-grade Death Pills sell for 10,000 battle merits,” Braedy stated seriously.
“Middle-grade Death Pills fetch 30,000 battle merits, and superior-grade ones go for 50,000 to 70,000 battle merits.
“If it’s a supreme-grade Death Pill, each one commands 100,000 battle merits,” Braedy continued, his tone earnest.
“For supreme-grade pills like this Nine-halo Death Pill, the minimum bid would start at 900,000 battle merits.
At auction, it could easily fetch over three times that.” Braedy’s honesty in pricing reflected his reluctance to deceive Braydon. He then moved on to the Life Pill, explaining that its price was comparable to the Death Pill, albeit with broader applications, including healing across different realms.
Braydon’s lips curved into a faint smile.
“A set of Death Pill materials costs only 10,000 battle merits and can yield ten pills.
Yet, a Nine-halo Death Pill is valued at 900,000 battle merits.
Pill refinement truly is lucrative and fascinating.” “Do you recognize this pill?” Braydon asked softly, handing over another jade bottle.
Braedy accepted it, opening the bottle cautiously. His eyes widened as he examined the contents—a black and green pill resembling a Taiji diagram.
