However, such things are only found by chance, not sought after. To have a foreign race voluntarily remove its own horn while alive, it surely would not agree.
Waiting until the foreign race is dead to cut off the horn might not have the same effect, which is why this Beast Soul Pill is truly a stroke of luck.
Ling Zhenfei began placing all the various materials he needed into the Pill Furnace.
The flames inside the Pill Furnace were roaring wildly, and the Phoenix fire was dancing beneath it.
Ling Zhenfei carefully placed all these spiritual medicines into the Pill Furnace, controlling the fire, adding some Xuantian Spirit Spring Water, and slowly incorporating other herbs.
Soon, these herbs, under the flame's heat, gradually melted into some essential spiritual essences.
These essences hovered inside the Pill Furnace, spurned by Ling Zhenfei's Northern Spiritual Energy, while the herb residues fell to the bottom of the furnace.
Ling Zhenfei then cautiously added Phoenix Tail Flower and Deer Tail Grass, and upon their incorporation, the refinement seemed to change color, making the elixir appear even more appealing.
However, this refining process required a very long time, and after a while, all the herbs transformed into essence, suspended within the Pill Furnace.
Yet, Ling Zhenfei's heart remained unsettled. While other herbs could still be found, the Seven-colored Lotus Pod was truly rare.
If the refining failed, other herbs could be searched for and refined anew, but the lotus seeds of the Seven-colored Lotus Pod were indeed unfindable.
This makes the Seven-colored Lotus Pod extremely important.
At this thought, Ling Zhenfei slowly added the red lotus seed into the Phoenix Elixir Furnace.
The flame inside the Phoenix Elixir Furnace instantly rose a few degrees due to the red lotus seed.
The essence of the previously added herbs immediately engulfed the red lotus seed, continuously swirling around it.
Ling Zhenfei knew that the refining process was exceptionally lengthy, with no room for hesitation.
As the lotus seed was refined, its shell peeled away, leaving only the potent essence of the lotus seed within.
This potent essence began to slowly merge.
No one knew how long it took before these herbal essences finally fused, commencing the fusion stage.
Transforming from liquid to solid would still take some time.
Ling Zhenfei was unsure how many elixirs this furnace could produce, though the more, the better.
According to records, this elixir is called the Divine Return Pill. It can restore one's cultivation to its peak state, or even possibly enhance one's Spiritual Energy Cultivation level, Strengthening the Foundation and Cultivating the Origin, among others.
In other words, if you are injured and your Spiritual Energy Cultivation level is damaged, consuming one can restore your health and power to its peak.
If you have just ascended a major realm and your foundation is unstable, consuming one can solidify your Northern Spiritual Energy, effectively enhancing your strength by a significant margin, even potentially advancing several minor levels.
An elixir like this is naturally better in greater numbers, though it's uncertain how many can be refined.
Dongfang City was at this moment deep into the night, yet the bustling life of Dongfang City continued, undergoing rapid development, stirring enthusiasm among many foreign races.
Of course, places like taverns and brothels were inevitable within Dongfang City. This day had perfect weather, with a comfortable evening temperature.
However, suddenly the surrounding clouds gathered towards the sky above Dongfang City, where loud thunder sounded urgently.
Everyone was worried, not knowing if it was about to rain.
But the clouds converged solely above the temple at the city center, making many feel something was amiss, as rain usually doesn't fall only on a single temple spot.
Everyone speculated, uncertain of the reason behind this.
"What's going on? Is someone in the temple attempting a breakthrough, facing a Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Impossible! Breaking through to the Heart Chasing Realm in a Foreign Land shouldn't invoke a Heavenly Tribulation.'
"Who said it's a Heart Chasing Realm breakthrough? Perhaps it's a breakthrough to the Traceless State."
"Could be a treasure being unearthed, or maybe the Chieftain has forged a divine weapon or tool."
While everyone speculated, a burst of white light appeared, and a powerful bolt of lightning struck towards the palace.
The booming lightning sound was deafening, leaving everyone awe-struck, unsure of what was unfolding.
Ling Zhenfei naturally realized the spiritual energy in the sky was gathering and sensed its immense power.
But now, what could he do other than find a way to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation's strike?
Beside Ling Zhenfei was Dongfang Lin, an extraordinarily powerful cultivator, but even she was astounded by such a mighty Heavenly Tribulation.
Dongfang Lin never expected Ling Zhenfei's elixir to draw forth such a formidable Heavenly Tribulation.
However, Dongfang Lin felt a bit reassured, knowing the grand hall had some spiritual energy wards set up by Dongfang Wu at his peak.
Though Dongfang Wu's own strength might have waned, the spiritual energy wards remained, maintaining the strength from Dongfang Wu's peak.
These wards were reinforced using many High-Grade Beast Pills to preserve such strength.
The presence of this spiritual energy ward gave Dongfang Lin considerable confidence.
Bang!
The mighty Heavenly Tribulation struck the spiritual energy protection shield directly.
Spiritual energy scattered, and Ling Zhenfei sensed the protection shield tremble from the lightning's forceful strike.
Yet, the shield managed to withstand the bolt of lightning.
But the matter wouldn't simply end following that single bolt; the drab clouds above showed no sign of clearing.
The clouds continued to rumble, and suddenly another flash of white light emerged, a massive crash resounding as another lightning bolt descended upon the spiritual energy shield.
Bang!
Again, spiritual energy scattered and the changing sky painted a picture of shift, felt distinctly by those inside the palace as the spiritual energy quaked.
However, the ward held firm against the second lightning strike.
Heavenly Tribulation lightning typically strikes three times; having survived two strikes under the ward, Ling Zhenfei felt immensely fortunate, also realizing Dongfang Wu's former power was astounding, considering such a ward could repel two lightning attacks.
Yet, the matter was not over; a third strike was yet to come. The first two strikes having missed Ling Zhenfei meant the third one was bound to be terrifyingly potent.
The clouds rumbled persistently as if gathering power for an ultimate move.
A white flash extended from the clouds like a mighty arm, swiftly punching towards the ground.
A loud, thunderous noise ripped through the sky, likely audible from a great distance.
