Chapter 56: Ao Run is granted a golden elixir and leaves the Western Sea.
Soon, Niu Ben came out of the alchemy room.
"Um?"
"The aura of the eldest disciple!"
Not far from the alchemy room, Bixiao immediately sensed Niu Ben's presence.
Yunxiao and Qiongxiao also sensed it.
For the past hundred years, they have remained in the Western Sea, waiting for Niu Ben to emerge from seclusion after refining the elixir.
Meanwhile, Ao Run, who was also present, was excited.
Just now, the area where the West Sea is located was filled with strange phenomena.
Just then, Niu Ben emerged from the pass, which naturally led Ao Run to connect the two events.
Without further ado, the four of them hurried towards the alchemy room where Niu Ben was.
Soon, Ao Run and the other girls arrived at the location.
Upon seeing Niu Ben, Ao Run immediately asked:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"How is the alchemy going?"
Before Niu Ben could reply, Bi Xiao suddenly interjected:
"My eldest brother is a disciple of the Supreme Taoist Master."
"Now that my senior brother has emerged from seclusion, everything is going smoothly."
As they spoke, Bixiao glanced at Ao Run, seemingly unintentionally.
Ao Run smiled helplessly and didn't pay any attention.
It was already clear that Fairy Bixiao was quite fond of Niu Ben and even considered him her imagined rival in love.
At this moment, Niu Ben smiled slightly and waved his hand lightly.
Then, a golden light suddenly appeared from his palm.
Upon closer inspection, one can see a perfectly round pill quietly floating beneath the dazzling golden light.
The pill itself was permeated with profound Daoist energy.
As soon as Niu Ben took it out, it emitted a powerful aura, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble.
"this?"
Upon seeing the pills that Niu Ben took out, the Three Immortals and Ao Run were all shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
It is obvious that the elixirs Niu Ben has refined over the past century are extraordinary.
As she watched, a hint of surprise flashed in Yunxiao's beautiful eyes, and she thought to herself:
"The Daoist essence contained in this pill is probably comparable to that of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill refined by our Grandmaster Uncle!"
She had the privilege of seeing the elixir refined by the Supreme Being.
Yunxiao felt that the pills Niu Ben had refined this time were in no way inferior to the Supreme Nine-Turn Golden Pill.
"Senior Brother, you're amazing!"
"This pill is obviously not ordinary."
"No wonder he inherited his master's true skills!"
Bixiao said excitedly.
In her view, Niu Ben's alchemy skills must have been inherited from the Supreme Taoist.
Qiongxiao remained silent, her eyes fixed on the pill floating in Niu Ben's palm.
Just then, Ao Run pursed her lips and asked tentatively:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben."
"I wonder what this elixir is...?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben didn't hide anything and said directly:
"This elixir is called the Great Luo Golden Elixir!"
"After taking it, one can achieve the realm of a Great Golden Immortal."
As soon as Niu Ben finished speaking, the four women present were all shocked and their faces were full of disbelief.
"What?"
"The Great Golden Elixir?"
"Can one achieve the Great Luo realm simply by consuming it?"
Even the usually composed Yunxiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"The potency of this Great Luo Golden Pill is terrifying!"
"Can a single pill make one a Grand Luo Golden Immortal?"
Qiongxiao exclaimed in admiration, looking somewhat incredulous.
"Senior Brother, you can actually refine pills like this?"
Bi Xiao also sighed, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Niu Ben.
Ao Run stood there, stunned, his heart pounding.
After all, Niu Ben had said before he even started refining the pills that they were meant to be a gift to her.
"A pill that...can help someone reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"
Ao Run was secretly amazed, his mind was stirred, and he could not calm down for a long time.
It should be understood that a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be considered a hegemon in this primordial era.
If this elixir were to appear in the world, it would likely spark a frenzied struggle among countless living beings.
While the four women were still in shock, Niu Ben remained calm and continued:
"Although this Great Luo Golden Pill is quite effective, it can help people break through to the Great Luo realm."
"However, this pill is extremely difficult to refine, and requires a great many materials."
"This time, we are fortunate to have a large number of innate materials in the Dragon Clan's treasure trove."
"In addition to the Dao Fruit of that Great Luo Demon King, I was able to successfully refine it."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, Ao Run and the Three Immortals were both taken aback.
It was obvious from their voices that the Great Luo Golden Pill was not easy to refine.
At this moment, Niu Ben's gaze sharpened, and he looked directly at Ao Run, changing the subject:
"Besides, although the Great Luo Golden Pill is powerful, it also has its side effects."
"That is..."
At this point, Niu Ben paused slightly, then added:
"Any being who consumes this pill will be stuck at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for their entire life, unable to advance any further!"
Upon hearing this, the eagerness in the eyes of the Three Immortals vanished instantly.
They had previously heard Niu Ben say that as long as they took this Great Luo Golden Pill, they could break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which had made their hearts burn with excitement.
But who would have thought that this elixir would have such a flaw?
After all, they were disciples of Tongtian, who was a future sage.
Although the Great Luo Golden Elixir is excellent, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao would not sacrifice their path for temporary cultivation gains.
After hearing what Niu Ben said, Ao Run was only slightly taken aback.
While the Three Immortals were concerned about the side effects of the Great Luo Golden Pill, she was completely indifferent to this flaw.
After all, the dragons of today are no longer the same as those of ancient times.
The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas has declined, and even its strongest members are only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
If only one more Great Luo Golden Immortal could be stationed here.
This was an incredible opportunity for the dragon race.
Just as Ao Run was lost in thought, Niu Ben casually waved his hand.
Then, the Great Luo Golden Pill floated straight down in front of Ao Run.
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run."
"This pill is yours."
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Ao Run was shaken, and his breathing became rapid.
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, what... what are you doing...?"
Although Niu Ben had previously said that he would refine pills for Ao Run as compensation.
However, in Ao Run's opinion, this Great Luo Golden Pill was far too precious.
Seeing Ao Run's flustered look, Niu Ben smiled faintly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run."
"Before I started making the pill, I told you that it was a gift for you."
"Besides, I have already obtained a spiritual treasure from your dragon clan's treasury, and this pill was made from materials from the Dragon Palace, so it should rightfully belong to you."
After listening to what Niu Ben said, Ao Run was slightly taken aback. After taking a deep breath, she did not refuse and directly accepted the Great Luo Golden Pill.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Niu Ben!"
Ao Run bowed deeply to Niu Ben, his eyes filled with gratitude.
She knew all too well what this Great Luo Golden Elixir meant to the increasingly declining Dragon Clan.
"Alright, it's time for us to take our leave."
Niu Ben smiled and looked at Ao Run, then turned around, preparing to leave with the Three Immortals.
Seeing this, Ao Run quickly pursed his lips and said:
"Fellow Daoist, if you have any free time in the future, you are welcome to visit my Dragon Palace at any time."
"Or if there's anything we dragons need, just let us know!"
Faced with someone like Niu Ben, Ao Run naturally wanted to befriend him.
Niu Ben nodded slightly, and without lingering, he rode on auspicious clouds, taking the Three Immortals with him as they drifted away.
