The Sword God of the Universe

Back at the Pill Shop, Jing Yan immediately hung up the sign that said the business was temporarily closed.

In the ten-plus days before heading to the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, Jing Yan did not intend to accept any commissions for alchemy as he had some personal matters to handle.

He closed the door of the Pill Shop and on the inside, Jing Yan also set up a high-level Trapping Array Plate. If someone were to suddenly break in from the outside, the Array Plate would be triggered and the intruder would find themselves caught in the high-level Trapping Array. At the same time, Jing Yan would sense the anomaly and would have ample time to prepare.

After making all these arrangements, Jing Yan walked into the inner chamber and entered the Qiankun Small World.

"Defense Holy Artifact!" Taking out the damaged Defense Holy Artifact he had bid on at the Rainbow Gown Rainfall Tower auction, Jing Yan carefully became familiar with it.

With Jing Yan’s expertise in Artifact Refining, he was not yet capable of forging Holy Artifacts by himself, but with the Holy Artifact in hand, Jing Yan was not completely in the dark and could discern the forging techniques used on the Holy Artifact.

Closing his eyes, the countless intricate patterns emitting powerful energy on the Holy Artifact appeared in Jing Yan’s mind.

"Indeed, it’s broken!"

"This seems to have been damaged by brute force, and the damage is quite severe. To repair it, I’m afraid it would require a vast amount of materials and a lot of time. In the short term, even if I had enough materials, I wouldn’t be able to repair this Holy Artifact with my current abilities," Jing Yan shook his head.

"It’s still usable, its defensive power is much stronger than that of a Defensive Spiritual Artifact. For now, I’ll just use it like this and slowly repair it when I have time later," Jing Yan thought and refined the damaged Holy Artifact.

The moment the Defense Holy Artifact was refined, it transformed into a stream of light and surged into Jing Yan’s body.

Immediately after, mysterious Magic Patterns emerged around Jing Yan’s body, flickering with a faint light halo. About the span of one breath later, the glowing patterns disappeared. But Jing Yan knew that as soon as he willed it, the Defense Holy Artifact could be activated to block an enemy’s attack.

"Divine Light Grass!"

"The main ingredient for the Divine Brilliance Pill, without Divine Light Grass, I wouldn’t be able to refine the Divine Brilliance Pill. But now, I can proceed with its refinement," Jing Yan’s gaze condensed, staring at the palm-sized Divine Grass in his hand.

Compared to the Defense Holy Artifact, the Divine Light Grass was obviously more attractive to Jing Yan; it was a treasure that could enhance the strength of a martial artist’s Divine Soul.

Divine Soul was too important for a martial artist, closely related to all aspects of their being.

After some preparations, Jing Yan took out all the materials needed for the Divine Brilliance Pill.

With Jing Yan’s current abilities, refining basic Divine Pills posed no problem at all. Initially, when he had not yet advanced to Saint Realm, he could refine the Heavenly Repairing Pill. Now that he was a strong practitioner in the Saint Realm, his Divine Soul strength was incomparably stronger than before, so naturally, he would have no issues in refining basic Divine Pills.

Without further delay, he began the refining process.

The refining process for the Divine Brilliance Pill went smoothly, with no mishaps. The batch resulted in four formed pills, a result that greatly satisfied Jing Yan. After all, Divine Pills were not something that could be compared to Ninth-level Elixirs.

The surface of the Divine Brilliance Pill appeared black. The moment Jing Yan took out the pill, he released his Divine Soul and suppressed the pill spirit that tried to escape. Three of the pills were placed in three Jade Bottles while Jing Yan took the remaining one immediately.

Jing Yan had not used the Divine Brilliance Pill before, so he naturally had no firsthand experience of its effects. Upon consuming the pill, his Divine Soul immediately changed, strengthening at an astonishing rate, much stronger than directly consuming Divine Light Grass.

The effect of the pill lasted for two full days and nights. After these two days and nights, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul had strengthened by nearly one-third. The change was very noticeable.

The most apparent change was that Jing Yan’s ability to sense the Laws between heaven and earth had increased by at least twice. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Hmm?"

Just then, Jing Yan’s mind slightly stirred.

He hurriedly took out some Heavenly Repairing Pills and Divine Crystals, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, swallowed the Heavenly Repairing Pills, and held the Divine Crystals in the palm of his hand.

Inside the Purple Mansion in his abdomen, Qi circulated rapidly.

This was a sign that he was about to make a breakthrough in his realm.

The significant enhancement of his Divine Soul allowed Jing Yan to control the Primordial Energy to an astonishing level.

Moreover, with the assistance of the Heavenly Repairing Pills and Divine Crystals, Jing Yan’s breakthrough this time was a natural progression, and he successfully broke through from the First Stage of the Saint Realm to the Second Realm of the Saint Path after just one week.

According to what Jiao Zhan had said, among the three Sect Masters of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, only the Great Sect Master was at the Second Realm of the Saint Path, while the other two Sect Masters were only at the First Stage of the Saint Realm.

After the breakthrough, Jing Yan did not immediately get up and leave the Qiankun Small World, but continued to absorb the Divine Crystals and take the Heavenly Repairing Pills to stabilize his realm.

Several days later, Jing Yan finally opened his eyes, his pupils dazzling with divine light, which only retracted after a few breaths.

He left the Qiankun Small World and walked out of the inner room.

During this nearly half-month period, no one had intruded into the Pill Shop, and the Array Plate placed at the inner door had naturally not been triggered. Jing Yan casually collected the Array Plate before he opened the door.

Jing Yan’s gaze slightly condensed.

Outside the door, there were dozens of Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners gathered, and upon seeing Jing Yan open the door, they all rushed towards him.

"Mr. Jing, I want to refine..."

"I was here first, it was me first, make way for me!"

"Don’t push! You scoundrel, how dare you shove me?"

The area in front of the Pill Shop suddenly plunged into chaos, as these Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners were all people wanting to commission Jing Yan for Alchemy.

Jing Yan looked at the scene before him and shook his head with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"I won’t have time for Alchemy recently, I’m truly sorry to have kept you waiting," Jing Yan said apologetically, bowing slightly.

"Mr. Jing, what do you mean by that? I’ve been waiting here for a full ten days!" a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner said, frowning at Jing Yan with a tone of dissatisfaction.

"That’s right, we’ve all been waiting for so long, you can’t just say you won’t refine!"

"If you don’t take on commissions, then haven’t we all waited in vain?"

Jing Yan’s brow furrowed, and he let out a light hum!

"Whoosh!"

A vast wave of Qi, laden with terrifying power, surged out from Jing Yan’s body, immediately silencing the chattering Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners. They stared at Jing Yan in shock, as the Qi pressure made it almost impossible for them to breathe. Especially those who had been the loudest, their faces now turned pale.

"If I want to do Alchemy, I will. If I don’t want to, I won’t. Are you trying to force me to do Alchemy? As for your waiting, I want to ask you, didn’t you see the ’Closed for Business’ sign?" Jing Yan declared solemnly.
