52 Pills and Progress

* 5 months later *

Xiao Tian was now a rank 29 peak soul master. His schedule was almost the same as the previous semester, he just used 2 hours of time daily to refine pills.

Xiao Tian also cultivated his physique with the help of 20 drops of tier 3 dragon elephant blood essence to the peak of stage 2 of the technique.

Xiao Tian after deductions and additions, now had a total of 2,080,540 fusion points.

Xiao Tian was now also a qualified 'Tier 2 Top grade Pill Master'. He had successfully refined all the few pills recorded in the 100 herbs encyclopedia.

He put the refined pills in his spatial ring, to give it to his parents during the vacation.

Getting the herbs and materials required to refine those pills weren't difficult as they were all available in the TianHai Chamber of Commerce's inventory.

Xiao Tian now had the following pills on him : Tier 1 Low grade Blood Clotting Pill x 25 , Tier 1 Mid grade Bone Connecting Pill x 25 , Tier 1 High grade Soul Power Recovery Pill x 25 , Tier 1 Top grade Poison Expelling Pill x 25 , Tier 2 Low Grade Breath Concealing Pill x 10 , Tier 2 Mid grade Meridian Protecting Pill x 10 , Tier 2 High grade Berserk Pill x 10 , Tier 2 Top grade Mind Clearing Pill.

Xiao Tian mainly practiced and refined the above pills, as they were the most useful and practical ones.

He even refined many gradeless pills like : sleep regulating pill , body warming pill , skin maintenance pill , small poison cleansing pill , etc. He gave those pills to his friends ( Yun Yun, Yang Xiao, Wu KongXuan, Ren WoKuang, Li Feng, Murong Qing'er, Murong Wan'er, Lu Yang & Hu Xiaomeng ).

Yes, Ren WoKuang and Xiao Tian's group became good friends over the course of 5 months.

Xiao Tian even helped him get his 3rd soul ring from the Myriad Beasts Forest a month ago, it was a 1,600 year old Blood Python.

Xiao Tian also helped Yun Yun, Yang Xiao, Wu KongXuan and Murong Sisters to get their second soul rings from the Myriad Beasts Forest. Except for Yun Yun, others had yellow as their second soul rings.

Ren WoKuang - 13 years old, rank 33 - yellow, yellow, purple

Yun Yun - 7 years old, rank 24 - yellow, purple

Yang Xiao - 7 years old, rank 22 - yellow, yellow

Wu KongXuan - 7 years old, rank 22 - yellow, yellow

Murong Qing'er - 7 years old, rank 22 - yellow, yellow

Murong Wan'er - 7 years old, rank 22 - yellow, yellow

Li Feng - 7 years old, rank 20 - yellow

Lu Yang - 7 years old, rank 19 - yellow

Hu Xiaomeng - 7 years old, rank 19 - yellow

It was all thanks to the tremendous resources provided by the academy that, they were able to cultivate so quickly. Xiao Tian's Spirit Swallowing Technique also played a vital role.

Xiao Tian had a solid foundation and didn't take any pills. He wanted to cultivate pure soul power and a strong foundation.

In fact, Xiao Tian sold a lot of tier 1 pills that he refined in the TianHai Chamber of Commerce's monthly auctions.

He told his parents about his pill refining and gave them all the tier 1 pills on him and told them it's effects.

It wasn't a problem for him as, tier 1 pills were only effective for 3 ringed soul masters and below.

He wanted to give his parents some pills as well, but, he had no tier 3 pills on him currently. Tier 2 pills were useful between 4-6 ringed soul masters only.

Tian Shui was already rank 70 and Xiao Hai reached the peak of rank 69 a few days ago. Their cultivation speed had more than tripled with the help of the techniques given by Xiao Tian.

They had decided to get their soul rings together with the help of Zhou Qi, Ming Yue and Ling Shui.

Ming Yue was currently rank 84 soul douluo and Ling Shui was a rank 82 soul douluo.

The current cultivation stats were :

Xiao Hai - rank 68, age 31, 15,000 year old right arm soul bone ( Golden Scaled Python Spear )

Tian Shui - rank 70, age 30, 35,000 year old left leg soul bone ( Ice Spikes )

Ling Shui - rank 82, age 40, 43,000 left leg soul bone ( Gravity Field ), 78,000 year old Titan Snow Demon right arm soul bone ( Titan Snow Demon Guardian )

Ming Yue - rank 84, age 41, 79,000 year old head soul bone ( Illusory World ), 58,000 year old right leg soul bone ( Dream Escape )

Zhou Qi - rank 89, age 63, 70,000 year old torso soul bone ( Absolute Defence ), 47,000 year old right arm soul bone ( Water Corrosion )

Zhou Qi had reached the peak of his potential and couldn't increase his cultivation no matter what.

Ling Shui got her 8th soul ring with the help of Wang Fan. Ming Yue and Ling Shui's cultivation had also slowed down by a lot. It'd take them at least 8-10 years to reach rank 90 depending on their luck.

Xiao Tian was now back at his house. He was resting in his room after chatting with his parents. He came to know that TianHai Chamber of Commerce was almost above to became the 2nd largest Commerce Chamber in the Tian Dou Empire, because of his pills.

Even the 'Seven Treasures Sect' also took the initiative to form a business contract with them. The sect master 'Ning Feng Zhi' had personally come to meet Xiao Hai to discuss the deal followed by Bone Douluo.

Xiao Hai naturally refused the offer, as he didn't want to become a subordinate vassal of the Seven Treasures Sect. Even Bone Douluo couldn't do anything to Xiao Hai directly due to Wang Fan's backing.

During this period, the seven treasures sect has been buying Xiao Tian's pills at exorbitant prices from others ( who bought it from TianHai Chamber of Commerce directly ) to study it's structure to recreate it's formula.

Xiao Hai was furious and depressed because of Ning Feng Zhi's move. He was afraid that the pill formula's would be cracked by them and swallow their pill business.

Xiao Tian, when he heard of his father's dilemma was also furious. He thought Ning Feng Zhi was a righteous person from the novels he had read on earth. It turned out, reality is different. He decided to destroy the Seven Treasures Sect in the future if they harmed his family in any way.

Xiao Tian, comforted his father by saying 'It'll take them at least 3-5 years to crack the pill formula's and another 2-3 years to start refining them.

He also gave all the 2nd Tier pills on him to his father to establish their hold on the medicinal market in the whole empire.

Xiao Tian cultivated for 6 hours straight, and broke through rank 30. He was already at the peak of rank 29 soul power when he left the academy for his house. It was easy for him to breakthrough.

" System, show me my status.".. said Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian was satisfied and went down for dinner happily.

Xiao Tian told about his breakthrough to his parents, which caused them to become happy.

Xiao Hai also told that, he could achieve a breakthrough within a week. After that, they could depart to the soul hunting forest and get their soul rings.

They decided to leave after a week, as Xiao Hai was confident in his breakthrough.

Xiao Hai later informed the same to Zhou Qi, Ming Yue & Ling Shui.
