Chapter 1574: Chapter 1573: Heaven-Defying Pill

What is a Heaven-Defying Pill?

Many people don’t know.

”As the head of this Pill Refining Association branch, I think Senior Yao will clarify this for you.” Su Han gazed smilingly at Yao Qing.

Swish, swish, swish!

Instantly, countless people turned to look at Yao Qing.

They saw him tremble as he stood up, looking at the Pill Furnace in front of the old woman, then at Su Han.

He didn’t answer the crowd, but stared at Su Han and said, ”Impossible, impossible... How could an ordinary Yellow Heart Lotus Throne turn an inferior Third-Grade Pill into a Heaven-Defying Pill...”

”Impossible, impossible... impossible!!!”

This mumbling grew louder and louder, and finally almost turned into a roar.

This is the legendary Heaven-Defying Pill!

Hearing Yao Qing’s roar, and seeing his face full of astonishment and his body trembling with excitement, everyone knew that this Heaven-Defying Pill was definitely not an ordinary pill!

”Su Han, what exactly is a Heaven-Defying Pill?”

Even Shen Mengli became anxious and asked Su Han.

Su Han fell silent, then spoke: ”Under normal circumstances, pills have four grades: Lower-Class, Mid-Class, Superior Quality, and Top-Grade. Many people believe that a Top-Grade Pill is already the highest quality among these grades. After all, Top-Grade Pills are very difficult to refine; out of ten thousand Pill Masters, there may not even be one Top-Grade Pill Master. Even if there is, not every pill can be refined into Top-Grade.”

”And above the Top-Grade...”

Pausing slightly, Su Han continued.

Before he could continue, Yao Qing interjected: ”There are also Heaven-Defying Pills!!!”

”Yes, there are Heaven-Defying Pills.” Su Han smiled, indicating for Yao Qing to continue.

”When a Heaven-Defying Pill appears, a thunder tribulation will descend. If it can withstand this, the pill will remain; if not, it will dissipate!”

”A pill that even the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate is called defying heaven!”

Yao Qing added.

”What?!”

The crowd immediately widened their eyes.

There is a level beyond Top-Grade?

Heaven-Defying Pill? A pill that can trigger a thunder tribulation? How powerful must it be?

However, Su Han slightly furrowed his brow.

Because what Yao Qing said was merely a summary, or perhaps he had no idea about the various levels within Heaven-Defying Pills.

Pressing his lips, Su Han further asked: ”Does Alchemist Yao know what levels there are among Heaven-Defying Pills?”

”Levels?”

Yao Qing looked confused: ”Are there levels to this? Isn’t a Heaven-Defying Pill the top-tier pill?”

As expected!

Su Han thought to himself, Yao Qing indeed did not know about the levels in Heaven-Defying Pills.

”Heaven-Defying Pills are classified by the number of thunder tribulations.” Su Han explained: ”One-Tribulation Heaven-Defying Pill, Two-Tribulation Heaven-Defying Pill, Three-Tribulation, and so on, up to Seven Tribulations. A pill that survives seven thunder tribulations is truly the strongest Heaven-Defying Pill, while One-Tribulation is merely the weakest among Heaven-Defying Pills.”

”What?!”

Yao Qing couldn’t believe it, as he had only seen the term ’Heaven-Defying Pill’ briefly mentioned in an ancient text from the Pill Refining Association, which he remembered deeply.

But that ancient text offered little detail, certainly not as comprehensive as Su Han’s explanation.

Su Han seemed like a living textbook of pill refining!

At this moment, Yao Qing had no choice but to believe Su Han, as the subject of Heaven-Defying Pills was known to few. Even he had only stumbled upon it by chance in an ancient text; otherwise, he, too, would have no idea what a Heaven-Defying Pill was.

Moreover, from start to finish, everything Su Han had said was correct, previously even speaking of the Grand Dao through martial language, prompting Yin Feng’s breakthrough to the Third-Grade Spirit Body Realm!

No one would doubt Su Han anymore!

”Senior.”

Su Han looked smilingly at the old woman and said, ”If indeed a thunder tribulation descends this time and this pill survives, although you will still be a Third-Grade Pill Master, your Alchemist Badge should be changed.”

”Hmm!”

The old woman nodded heavily, her expression filled with excitement.

She could feel an overwhelming power gradually building inside that Pill Furnace, far beyond what the inferior Third-Grade Pill could possess. The difference was immense!

She had seen Top-Grade Third-Grade Pills before, yet they couldn’t compare to the power currently emanating from the Pill Furnace!

She believed Su Han was correct; this pill would undoubtedly be the most powerful pill she had refined in her life up to now!

”Hua!”

At this moment, no one spoke. The silver-white light emanating from the Pill Furnace grew more intense, forming a connection with the bright moon in the sky!

Until a certain moment—

”It’s time to open the furnace...” Su Han’s calm voice suddenly rang out.

Almost as soon as he spoke, the old woman sharply patted the Pill Furnace, breaking the link between the opening and the moonlight, and the lid covered it once more.

Immediately, with a burst, an astonishing flame rose from her palm, instantly engulfing the Pill Furnace. Looking at it, one could see only flames, not the Pill Furnace itself.

However, this situation lasted only briefly; almost as soon as the flame enveloped the Pill Furnace, it vanished.

The Pill Furnace appeared before the crowd.

Countless people stared intently at it, wanting to see if everything Su Han had said was true or false!

”Whew...”

Under the many gazes, the old woman took a deep breath.

She knew that this pill would be the greatest glory of her life.

At this moment, she felt a bit nervous.

In her nervousness, the old woman couldn’t help but look at Su Han.

”If it’s yours, it’s yours; you will succeed.” Su Han nodded lightly.

These words were like immense encouragement to the old woman, and she nodded vigorously.

The scene underwent a subtle change at this moment.

The originally proud Third-Grade Pill Master, who intended to take Su Han as a disciple, now seemed almost like Su Han’s disciple!

Many people noticed this change and were shocked, as though a hurricane had swept through their minds.

They could hardly imagine what it was like for a respected Third-Grade Pill Master to seek guidance from a First Grade Alchemist!

And now, this scene unfolded right before their eyes!

”Open the furnace!” Su Han suddenly commanded.

The old woman immediately reached out and removed the furnace cover.

”Hua!”

As soon as it was opened, overwhelming silver-white light surged from the Pill Furnace, brightly illuminating the night.

”Hahahaha...”

Upon seeing the scene within the Pill Furnace, the old woman’s laughter echoed around.
