Chapter 272: Dragon-Elephant Divine Pill!

Glancing at Dan Zong, Yang Tian was somewhat surprised. Dan Zong was extremely powerful, a great cultivator, yet he was so respectful to the person inside—unfathomable strength.

As Dan Zong's words fell, the hall doors slowly opened. At the same time, a vast fragrance of herbs surged out like a tidal wave, pouring forth overwhelmingly.

The terrifying medicinal power gathered in the sky. Some disciples nearby were instantly petrified, their burning gazes sweeping into the hall. Such immense medicinal power—there must be countless cauldrons inside.

A flicker of heat flashed in Yang Tian's eyes. He licked his dry lips and walked into the hall.

Inside, the hall was built of purple jade, tens of thousands of feet in size. Thousands of purple jade shelves lined the space, filled with jade bottles too numerous to count.

"So many pills!" Qin Zuying rubbed his pudgy hands, his face full of greed. His shifty eyes roamed around, like a man starved for years, almost glowing with desire.

At that moment, Yang Tian quickly stepped forward a few paces, pretending not to know him, looking straight ahead without turning his gaze.

Ahead, there was a staircase, clearly leading upward. This was only the first floor, making one yearn to see what the top floor looked like.

"This is the pill vault. Based on the rewards you've earned, go and select your pills. Remember, don't take more than you should, or face the consequences." Dan Zong swept his gaze around and said slowly.

As his words fell, Fatty vanished in a flash. Qin Shi beside him couldn't help twitching his mouth. They had been rivals since childhood, and he knew Qin Zuying's nature well—once he saw treasure, he couldn't look away. They had fought many times because of it.

"No wonder it's the Pill Valley—so many pills." Yang Tian walked around and found many pills of the third tier and above, at least hundreds of thousands. Such wealth would drive even ancient aristocratic families mad.

Glancing around, Yang Tian pursed his lips and walked forward. The fifth-tier pills were at the back, also in considerable quantity, filling two shelves completely.

"Heh, though there are many pills, there are even more people in the Pill Valley." Yang Tian's gaze swept over the jade bottles, and he shook his head slightly. If these pills were freely supplied to the valley's disciples, they would be consumed in a few days.

Yang Tian took a War King Pill and didn't linger, heading for the stairs.

"Meng Tian, are you the one who condensed the celestial phenomenon of stars that day?" At that moment, a voice sounded behind Yang Tian.

Hearing this, Yang Tian turned to look at Qin Shi, scratched his head, and said, "Friend, what celestial phenomenon of stars? Are you mistaking me for someone else?"

Qin Shi stared at him. His eyes were as bright as stars. That day, Qin Shi had suffered a great loss, forced to do hard labor, and still remembered it vividly—it was also his first taste of death.

"Whether it's you or not, I will defeat you one day!" Qin Shi's voice carried strong confidence, and a trace of his terrifying aura involuntarily leaked out as he shouted.

"Heh, I'm always ready." Yang Tian nodded and gave a faint smile.

After a while, everyone had made their selections. Under Dan Zong's guidance, Yang Tian and his two companions headed to the second floor.

Tian Xin's face was extremely gloomy, his venomous gaze fixed on Xiao Xiao. If not for her, he would have been the one to go upstairs today. Although he didn't care about sixth-tier pills, his heart was deeply unbalanced—the glory should have been his.

"You all must die!" Tian Xin bit his lip, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. His face twisted completely as they disappeared from his sight.

Shangguan Hao glanced at Tian Xin, couldn't help pursing his lips, and muttered to himself, an incompetent fool. Some things were his own doing.

Qin Zuying let out a strange laugh, completely ignoring Tian Xin's twisted face, and walked out the door. Inside here, he didn't dare use his signature skills—getting caught would mean big trouble.

The space on the second floor, compared to the first, carried a heavier atmosphere. Divine light shimmered, deadly killing intent lurked everywhere, and the entire void was oppressively tense.

As soon as Yang Tian stepped in, he was locked onto by several terrifying gazes. His heart tightened, and his eyes swept around, sensing several fearsome old monsters hidden nearby.

"The Pill Valley's foundation is indeed formidable, truly beyond comparison with ancient aristocratic families..." His gaze roamed around. On the shelves ahead, mist shrouded, auspicious light swirled, and the medicinal power inside was extremely rich. At the top, several dragon forms coiled, spitting out auspicious rays.

Dan Chen swept a glance over the place and shook his head slightly, looking unimpressed. Seeing this, Dan Zong couldn't help twitching his mouth. The Alchemy Dao Alliance was a hegemon-level force in the Central Region, guarding a vast domain, with countless alchemists—the wealthiest group on the continent.

"Though these pills are precious, they aren't of much use to me." Yang Tian looked around for a while, and the heat in his eyes faded considerably.

At that moment, Yang Tian's gaze fell on a small purple bottle. When he noticed the characters on it, surprise flickered in his eyes: "This is the Dragon-Elephant Divine Pill! I didn't expect the Pill Valley to have such a pill! Are these people really so generous?!"

Yang Tian had heard of this pill from Yang Xiao. It was extremely beneficial for the physical body, but required the essence blood of the Dragon-Elephant beast as a catalyst, making it very difficult to refine—a rare pill.

The Dragon-Elephant had formidable combat power, renowned for its terrifying physique, and was a rare exotic beast. Thus, the pill reached the sixth-tier high-grade level, comparable to ordinary seventh-tier pills.

"My body still has the residual power of the Rebirth Pill. But Big Brother's physique is too weak now, clearly not enough against Divine Bodies. I might as well choose this Dragon-Elephant Divine Pill; maybe my strength will skyrocket."

Yang Tian grasped the jade bottle and grinned. Just then, a terrifying gaze locked onto him, a trace of resentment spreading out.

"This..." Sensing that gaze full of resentment, Yang Tian rolled his eyes. He muttered inwardly, "These old bastards, I'm just taking my reward. Do they have to be so stingy?"

"This is... the Dragon-Elephant Divine Pill!" At that moment, Dan Chen's eyes fell on the jade bottle in Yang Tian's hand, a hint of heat appearing in his eyes as he couldn't help sniffing.

Seeing this, Yang Tian flipped his hand and instantly put away the pill, grinning at Dan Chen: "Indeed, I didn't expect such good luck."

"I'll settle the score with you old bastards later. Damn it, why didn't you put away a Dragon-Elephant Divine Pill in advance? Displaying it like a treasure! Now look..." Dan Zong's old face darkened as he muttered inwardly, his expression sour.

"Ah, Grandpa, what's wrong? Why is your face a bit dark? Are you sick?" Dan Xiaoxiao blinked her bright eyes, revealing two small dimples, and asked several questions in a row.

Hearing this, Dan Zong's face twitched violently. Looking at Xiaoxiao's earnest expression, he forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just a bit uncomfortable."

"Huh..." Dan Chen scratched his head, looking at the two with confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Yang Tian shrugged noncommittally.

"Grandpa, why did your face move?" Xiaoxiao pointed at her dimple and asked in confusion.
