Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

Elder Qian watched as Yang Wei refined his ultimate pill with a focus she had never seen in any of her students.

"Yang Wei…"

It was truly astonishing. While she kept her usual calm and graceful exterior, inside she was deeply impressed by his dedication to the medicinal path.

Yang Wei has formed a celestial gold core and is rumored to possess the power of the sect's ancient celestial dragons. His talent in the medicinal path is astounding… I don't think I was ever this good.

Not only has he mastered and simplified my legacy technique, but he can also initiate the refinement process for tenth-grade pills or higher.

From what I can see, he has truly delved deep into the Dao of Medicine. Can he really refine a pill on the same level as the Blood Emperor?

Across the Lower, Middle, and Upper Regions, only a small number of elite apothecary grandmasters could refine a twelfth-grade pill.

These individuals were revered as Apothecary Sages, capable of reaching a domain of the medicinal dao beyond the reach of most grandmasters. Among the few known apothecary sages was the Blood Emperor, one of the first to attain such a coveted title.

Hmm~~

Elder Qian just watched in silence.

...

WHOOOSH~! WHOOSH~~!

WHOOOOOSH~!

Heavy winds blew at the apex of the Serpent's Spire.

"Sun Dragon Fern…"

"Blood Jade Coral…"

"Spirit Flame Thorn…"

"Divine Light Petal…"

"Dragonbone Vine…"

"Sacred Bloodvine…"

Each hand motion Yang Wei made sent tens, even hundreds, of medicinal herbs and plants to be crushed into glittering particles and funneled into the spiritual furnace.

He aimed to refine a pill with the medicinal potency to shake the heavens themselves!

He continued to process every flora he materialized from the heavenly rift above, sending each one straight to the spiritual furnace. Then, he would channel his intent into powerful flames that could burn his spirit root, now transformed into a sacred cauldron.

Huuuuu~!

His spirit root would never truly be harmed as long as his intent remained focused on refining a medicinal pill.

Raaawr~~

Tianyi worriedly watched his master work nonstop in pursuit of the ultimate path of medicine, aiming to achieve a generational milestone.

There was little time; Yang Wei had no idea how long his body could endure without its spirit root. Worried about the risk of failure, he accelerated the concoction process.

...

Four more days passed, and the cauldron's color shifted from bright blue to blazing red. Then, the spiritual furnace burst open, and a nearly pellucid, red medicinal pill emerged.

Hnnn~

When Yang Wei caught sight of the pill, a small smile of hope appeared on his exhausted, pale face.

Soon, the medicinal pill shot high into the sky, dyeing the heavens red.

"W-, what's going on up there…?"

"The heavens… th-, they've turned blood-red!"

"What sort of breakthrough is Fate Defying Elder seeking?!"

Above the Celestial Serpent Sect, the skies began to dim, and the winds grew more furious. The matriarchs' expressions flickered as the heavens above thundered fiercely.

Undoubtedly, this was Heavenly Tribulation!

The pill was so powerful and magnificent that its strong medicinal aroma, combined with its red light, caused everyone who saw it to gasp or cry out in shock. This pill was a foreign object, one that had no right to exist in the Lower Regions, and it made the heavens furious!

BOOOOOM~~!

The aura of the quasi-Blood Dragon-Strengthening Pill exploded in all directions.

Heaven and earth trembled, and the sky distorted. Many of the blood-soaked clouds dissipated as if they were mere dust. The sun twisted, and even the moon seemed to be slowly reappearing!

All the peak chiefs, Nascent Soul experts, couldn't hide the dread they felt from the presence of a twelfth-grade medicinal pill.

"Do it now!" Liang Xinyue ordered.

All the matriarchs summoned their Heaven-grade defensive treasures in the form of four- to five-colored jade pendants.

Zuuuuu~!

These treasures unleashed Immortal-defying power to drown out the aura of the transcendent blood pill, protecting all the disciples from its overwhelming presence. Even a peak Gold Core cultivator wouldn't be safe at this point!

Yang Wei was quite close to the red light and felt the vibrations even more acutely. However, he wasn't killed on the spot because not even the aura of Divine Realm cultivators could make him kneel, and neither could a pill he poured the print of his soul into.

"Nghk…!" Yang Wei gripped his chest in pain.

His spirit root had already returned to his fleshly body, yet he felt an unending pain.

He resonated with the twelfth-grade pill in the sky.

But that was expected since he possessed a celestial gold core and had mastered the Blood Arts, which centered around absorbing blood Qi to enhance one's cultivation. Because of this, he was better suited for the quasi-Blood Dragon-Strengthening Pill than ordinary blood cultivators.

"That's…" Yang Wei gasped.

The matriarchs, peak chiefs, and disciples who were far away from the Serpent's Spire were so shocked they were trembling.

And then, all of them, including Yang Wei, witnessed something incomprehensible. . .

The thick aura of blood oozing from the medicinal pill formed into a being… a blood-colored gargantuan dragon!

Yang Wei's eyes widened as he felt an instant resonance with the creature, causing his heart to feel like it was ripping in half.

"What is this…?!"

The creature was so huge it completely dwarfed the entirety of Dragon's Peak Mountain Range. Its exaltedness almost impossible to describe.

From far away, at the outer edges of the mountain range, all the small clans, schools, and sects affiliated with the Celestial Serpent Sect could witness the terrifying spectacle.

Some small patriarchs were too frightened to move forward, and even school elders had begun ushering their disciples back into seclusion. They all prayed this wasn't the demise of their sect, or maybe even their world.

"Wh-, what is that?!"

"Impossible! C-, could that be the sect's guardian dragons?!"

"NO! Are you so daring to compare a transcendent being like that to our sect guardians?! That creature is clearly larger than what the ancient records say about our sect's celestial dragons!"

"I-, I'm not staying here any longer!"

Some cultivators were already fleeing to Tiancheng City at highspeed via swords or flying treasures.

The enraged blood-colored dragon opened its wide mouth and its roar echoed louder than thunder from the heavens.

ROOOOOOARR~~!

Blood-Dragon stared furiously at Yang Wei, as though it couldn't see him, but only the blood cells within him brimming with celestial Qi. Clearly furious, its slumber for countless eons had been disturbed, and it could only see Yang Wei as its source of nourishment.

Grrr~!

A low growl escaped the mouth of Blood-Dragon, shaking the entire region like an earthquake had hit the sect.

"We're all gonna die!"

"This is can't really be the end of our sect?!"

"Only a fool would wait to find out!"

More and more disciples were running, using every life-saving treasure and defensive talisman in their arsenal to ensure their survival.

Even the disciples watching from below the Serpent's Spire had already started to run away.

They were no longer interested in witnessing what was about to happen.

ROOOOOAR~!

Blood-Dragon was huge, but its cultivation base was even huger, making it seem virtually unstoppable.

"We must help him…" Matriarch Venomheart said, already about to fly forward.

Liang Xinyue grabbed her by the hand. "No, we cannot. This is a tribulation he must face on his own."

"What?" Venomheart's face contorted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She even looked to Matriarch Fangblade for some confirmation.

The matriarch in question nodded calmly, keeping her arms folded. She clearly didn't plan on interfering.

It was all up to Fate Defying Elder. . .

Normally, Yang Wei wouldn't bat an eye at trouble. With a snap, he could unleash one of his five supreme magics and crush Blood-Dragon. But this time was different──it was a heavenly tribulation. Mana's presence would mess with this divine affair and just make things worse.

He'd have to rely solely on his cultivation to get back his medicinal pill.
