Chapter 4: Extinguishing the Treasure Dan
"That's right, it's the Silent Annihilation Pill, the first treasure of the Cultivation Realm!" Sikong Picking Star is a master of the Fusion Period, and the cultivation realm is indeed different, just a few words, he quickly calmed down from the ecstatic excitement, and after hearing Ye Qiuli's exclamation, when he confirmed that what he just said was the best treasure for cultivators to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation-Silent Annihilation Pill.
"It turned out to be really this treasure!" After hearing Sikong Xingxing's confirmation and being sure that he had heard it correctly, Ye Qiu couldn't help but let out a long breath, this name was so shocking that he had to concentrate all his mind to be serious.
This is the Silent Annihilation Pill, the highest value of the top-level elixir in the cultivation realm, known as the First Treasure Pill of the Tribulation, and it is the peerless treasure that all cultivators who are about to cross the Tribulation dream of. Its value is not at all comparable to one or two top-grade spiritual weapons, even compared with some top-level treasures that have been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, it is not much better, once it is lost, it can definitely cause a fierce competition within a certain range.
This elixir has an incomparably huge effect on cultivators who are about to cross the tribulation, and if they take this pill before the tribulation, then the success rate of the tribulation will reach an unprecedented eighty percent! What kind of concept is that? It is almost completely guaranteed that the tribulation will be successful. In the process of nine deaths and one life, its decisive role can be imagined!
"Ten crossings and nine annihilations!", these four words are not simply said, they are the painful experience summed up by countless years of historical practice in the cultivation realm. Among all the cultivators who greeted the Heavenly Tribulation, only one tenth of them were able to survive safely and successfully ascended, and the vast majority of the remaining nine-tenths of the cultivators would die under the Heavenly Tribulation, and they would be wiped out by the thunderbolts, and only a very small number of people who had cultivated to a very high level could escape from the Yuan Infant, turn to the Scattered Immortals, and embark on an extremely difficult path of cultivation again.
Seriously speaking, when a cultivator faces the test of the Heavenly Tribulation that has evolved from the laws of heaven and earth, no matter how well he prepares, he cannot guarantee that he will definitely succeed in the tribulation, even if he is 99 percent sure when he crosses the tribulation, after encountering that 1 percent probability of failure, he will still inevitably end up in ashes. Therefore, there are only two results of the tribulation, either success or failure, and it doesn't make much sense to pay attention to the success rate in it.
This situation has appeared since the birth of the cultivation of the true exercises, and there has not been much change in hundreds of millions of years, and it is precisely in these endless years that the saying of "ten crossings and nine annihilations" has been verified again and again, and finally became the current iron-like law.
However, having said that, it is not accurate to say that there is only a 1 in 10 chance of success in each raid, and the specific results are completely different in different situations. Fifty avenues, forty-nine heavenly performances, and one of them, nothing in the world is absolutely unchanging, and in the cultivation world, any kind of miracle can happen, and the methods specially created by cultivators to greatly increase the success rate of the tribulation are also not uncommon, and there are legends from all walks of life, and there are occasional cases of actual use.
Among them, the most famous is the Nine Tribulation stand-in puppet specially refined by the top immortal demons, even if it is used in the incomparable power of the Nine Heavenly Divine Tribulation, it can also play a vital auxiliary role, if it is used to help cultivators survive the immortal tribulation that has been reduced by many times in power, it is definitely a matter of hand, even if it is not foolproof, it can be said to be nine out of ten!
In addition to this, another thing that can greatly increase the success rate of a cultivator's tribulation is the Silent Annihilation Pill. The 80 percent success rate of the Tribulation brought by the Pill of Annihilation does not refer to the probability of surviving a single Heavenly Tribulation, but refers to the fact that when all cultivators who have taken the Pill of Annihilation cross the Tribulation, in the end, 80% of them will be able to cross the Tribulation safely, thus successfully ascending to the Immortal Realm, and only 20% of them will fail to cross the Tribulation.
Moreover, among the 20% of the losers, there are basically all kinds of reasons for inevitable failure, either because the person's own cultivation strength is really not good, and it is still far from the requirements of the catastrophe; or they encounter the interference of the enemy during the catastrophe, so that the person who crosses the catastrophe cannot deal with the catastrophe with peace of mind; or the luck is really bad to the extreme, encountering some special and rare emergencies, such as abnormal situations such as aura riots, in that case, no one can deal with it, and the failure of the catastrophe is really just a matter of luck!
In addition to these special circumstances, under normal conditions, with the Silent Annihilation Pill as the basis for the tribulation, and then make thorough preparations and adjust their state, the cultivator can basically ensure that he is stable and successful when he crosses the tribulation, and its super effect can be seen from this. With it, it is almost equivalent to getting the key to breaking the mortal and becoming an immortal, and the ascension to the immortal realm is almost a foregone conclusion.
The miraculous effect of being so powerful that it is almost against the heavens has really made the reputation of the Silent Annihilation Pill have been passed down for a long time, and any cultivator has heard its legend, knows its myths, and is fascinated by it and dreamed of it. It's just that there are very few people who have really obtained the Silent Annihilation Pill, and in the vast and boundless cultivation realm, the total amount of the Silent Annihilation Pill produced every thousand years will definitely not exceed ten grains, and most of them are in the hands of some large cultivation sects or super masters, and there are only a handful of people who are lucky enough to obtain it.
This kind of top-level elixir, whether it is the requirements for refining methods or refining materials, is extremely high, and there are very few cases that can meet all of them, and it is quite remarkable to succeed once every thousand years.
According to the records in the "Hundred Herb Danlu", if you want to successfully refine the Silent Annihilation Pill, it is almost impossible to achieve the alchemy level of the grandmaster level, and in the entire cultivation realm, the alchemists who have reached this level are only about a hundred people, among them, there are only a handful of alchemists who can refine the Silent Annihilation Pill, and it is really not a simple matter to find a person who can successfully refine the Silent Annihilation Pill.
If a grandmaster-level alchemist could still find it after some hard work, then gathering all the recipe materials for the Silent Annihilation Pill would be a task that could only be done by luck. The materials for refining the Elixir of Annihilation are not only rare and hard to find, but they are also very peculiar, and those who don't know the details can't even imagine it.
Although the name of the Silent Annihilation Pill is the First Treasure Pill of the Tribulation, most of its formulas have nothing to do with medicinal materials, except for the most critical medicinal material, "Silent Annihilation Grass", which is somewhat similar to the elixir, most of the other components are high-grade, top-grade metals and spars and other refining materials.
Strictly speaking, this Silent Annihilation Pill can't actually be regarded as a pure elixir, except for the fact that it is refined by alchemy, other places can be regarded as a magic weapon in the form of an elixir. Although this treasure is called an elixir, it does not have the basic attributes of an elixir at all, and it can neither replenish the true yuan nor restore the injury, the reason why it is called the First Treasure Pill of the Tribulation is because after taking the Annihilation Pill, it can effectively reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation itself.
According to the statistics of the cultivation realm, this reduction can probably reach one to two percent.
This is also the most critical reason why the reputation of the Silent Annihilation Pill resounded throughout the entire cultivation realm, as for why a small pill has such a great influence and can effectively reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, no one in the cultivation world knows so far, and even how the formula of the Silent Annihilation Pill has been handed down, few people can say clearly, it seems that in the blink of an eye, the formula and refining method of the Silent Annihilation Pill suddenly appeared.
For countless years, I don't know how many people want to study the essence of this supreme treasure, so as to fundamentally master the most effective means to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation, but unfortunately, no one has succeeded, and has always been in a state of knowing it but not knowing why it is, everyone speculates that it is the same rule-based magic weapon as a stand-in puppet, but it is only useful for the Heavenly Tribulation in the cultivation realm, but this speculation has never been confirmed.
In addition, if you want to truly refine the Silent Annihilation Pill, the top-grade Heavenly Treasure Silent Annihilation Grass is also an indispensable factor. This can also be seen from the names of the two, when refining the Silence Extinguishing Grass, the most critical place is to collect the Silence Extinguishing Grass, without the Silence Extinguishing Grass, it is impossible to refine the Silence Extinguishing Pill, and once the Silence Extinguishing Grass is found, it will be much easier to collect other formula materials, as long as you are determined to do it, you will always succeed.
Seriously speaking, when Ye Qiuli took out these superb spiritual materials, it was only because they had a lot of stocks, and it would not be a big problem after a little exchanging some, and it would not affect his collection, plus he did feel the difficulty of crossing the catastrophe, and wanted to help a group of Sikong pick up stars when he could, and at the same time have a good relationship with this great master, so he could not bear to cut his love and transfer a part of it slightly.
He had never noticed that these things were actually one of the main materials for refining the Silent Annihilation Pill.
No matter where the alchemy is, like the refining tool, the means are the key factor, but the material is the decisive factor. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there are no excellent materials, no matter how high his alchemy and instrument making level is, he can't refine the best magic weapon or elixir.
The kind of super realm that can turn decay into magic, use garbage materials, but refine top-level elixirs with great power, although it does exist in the cultivation world, it is obviously not something that cultivators in the cultivation realm can master, even if they are high-level immortals, whether they can cultivate to this realm is still a huge question, and it is probably that people in the god realm can do such a thing. When these alchemists in the human realm refine the elixir, they can't get rid of the shackles of materials no matter what, what kind of materials can refine what kind of elixir.
