Chapter 1960: Becoming More Powerful

“Do you not have enough money?” Nuwa was a little concerned by An Lin’s silence.

“Um… Can it be any cheaper?” An Lin blinked before attempting to cut down the price.

Nuwa heaved a forlorn sigh. “Unfortunately, no. This is not my divine tool, so I can’t offer any discounts. If you don’t have enough money, I can lend you some.”

“There’s no need for that, I’ll take care of the money required. When can the divine tool be delivered?”

An Lin immediately turned down Nuwa’s kind offer to borrow him money.

He already owed Nuwa a favor seeing as she was sourcing the divine tool for him, and it would simply be going too far to ask for money from her. Furthermore, it wasn’t like he was actually short on money.

“How about this? I’ll get Black Spirit Snake to deliver the divine tool directly to the Four Nine Immortal Sect, and you can give the spirit stones to her. I’ll go chase for the divine tool now, and you’ll have to wait for a few days,” Nuwa suggested.

An Lin immediately expressed his gratitude toward Nuwa again.

The divine tool issue was finally resolved.

Just as An Lin was preparing himself to wait for the divine tool, more good news arrived. Fanny had done her job and successfully obtained three divine pills from the Pill Sage. In addition to the eight divine pills in his storage ring, he now had a total of eleven divine pills.

Among them, five were regenerative pills, three were buff pills, and the final three were for increasing one’s power and enhancing one’s constitution.

An Lin turned his attention to the three divine pills that could be used to increase power and enhance one’s constitution.

One of them was the Dragon God Body Enhancement Pill, which specialized in refining the body and could drastically increase the power of one’s body.

The second one was called the Extreme Darkness God Sealing Pill, which could drastically refine one’s consciousness and present a certain chance for the consumer to attain the power of divine darkness.

The final one was the Ninefold Lotus Yin Yang Pill, which could make one’s body resonate with the Yin Yang Great Dao, as well as perfectly coordinate all types of powers within one’s body.

An Lin was a little perplexed. All three of these divine pills could be taken for immediate effect, so why hadn’t the former Great Empress Vermilion Bird consumed them yet? Was she collecting them for fun?

An Lin began to ponder this question.

He turned his attention to the divine pills within his storage ring, and it didn’t take him long to discover something that was quite astounding.

He discovered that the auras of the divine pills within his storage ring were slowly becoming more powerful. This was a very slow process, and their auras only increased by about one in a hundred million of their existing amount per second, but they were definitely increasing.

“That’s strange, could it be that the divine pills are able to naturally become more powerful?” An Lin was a little baffled. “Or…”

He pulled a divine pill out of his storage ring, upon which he discovered that its aura no longer increased.

A thought occurred to An Lin, and he turned his attention to the third supreme treasures. This was a special treasure that appeared to be an irregular crimson stone about the size of a fist.

The stone glowed as if it were a shimmering star. Most importantly, every time it emanated a red light, the light seemed to be brighter than the last time. Even though the rate at which the light brightened was very slow, An Lin still noticed it.

He pulled the stone out of his storage ring to find that the auras of the ten divine pills in his storage ring stopped increasing. At the same time, the aura of the divine pill outside of his storage ring began slowly increasing once again.

“So it really is because of this stone?” An Lin’s pupils contracted slightly as he examined the red stone. “Could it be that the former Great Empress Vermilion Bird placed these divine pills with this stone so that the powers within these pills could become more potent?”

A white light flashed through his eyes as he activated his Divine Inspection Technique again.

A string of information appeared in his mind: Chaotic Evolution Stone.

That was it. The Divine Inspection Technique was only able to disclose its name and nothing else.

“Chaotic Evolution Stone? To think that it can make divine pills evolve… But why can’t it make divine tools or immortal pills evolve?” An Lin was confused.

This stone was the most mysterious treasure he obtained from the Vermilion Bird.

He also had a feeling that this was the most precious object in the Vermilion Bird’s possession.

The less information his Divine Inspection Technique was able to glean about an item, the more terrifying its origin was.

After all, Great Empress Vermilion Bird was a creature who had held the Vermilion Bird Holy Berth for countless years, and even though she had been severely wounded by Pangu, she was still able to fight on par with An Lin and Xu Xiaolan. Such a badass being had to have some badass treasures.

The Chaotic Evolution Stone must have been an extraordinary item!

An Lin nodded slightly before pulling out some immortal-rank red string and hanging the stone from his neck like a pendant. If this stone could make divine pills evolve, then perhaps it could make him evolve as well? This was an extremely absurd thought, but what if it worked?

He then tried to use all types of methods to explore this Chaotic Evolution Stone, but he was unable to find anything. Aside from its ability to make the auras of divine pills become more powerful, it appeared to have no other functions.

“So be it, I’ll take the pills first!” An Lin pursed his lips.

A massive battle was imminent, and An Lin didn’t need those few extra days of evolution time for the divine pills.

He picked up the Dragon God Body Enhancement Pill, Extreme Darkness God Sealing Pill, and Ninefold Lotus Yin Yang Pill before swallowing all three of them at the same time.

Boom!

Terrifying pill powers exploded violently within his body.

These were insanely pure and rich powers.

All of a sudden, the roar of a Dragon God erupted throughout the entire Four Nine Immortal Sect.

Dark winds swept through the air, creating a scene reminiscent of an infernal hell.

Lotus flowers imbued with boundless wondrous power blossomed.

These extreme phenomena alerted the entire sect.

All of the disciples and elders quickly rushed to the scene, only to shake their heads with resignation upon discovering who was responsible for triggering these phenomena.

Their sect leader simply seemed to be incapable of staying out of the limelight for an extended period of time.

Everyone was feeling quite exasperated, but at the same time, they were struck by a sense of security at the sight of their sect leader absorbing the violent pill powers within the divine pills. Their sect leader was becoming more and more badass…

An entire day passed before An Lin finally managed to absorb all of the pill powers from the three divine pills.

He was very pleasantly surprised by the transformation his body had undergone.

He had thought that his body of the War God had reached its pinnacle, but it had been enhanced quite significantly, and there was now a burst of terrifying dragon might residing within his body.

As for his consciousness, perhaps it was because of his mastery in the power of darkness, but a hundred percent of the pill power was absorbed, and he had successfully attained the power of divine darkness. His God of Creation Stage consciousness had been enhanced further, and both its purity and mass had increased by about ten percent. This was quite a marked increase.

Meanwhile, the Ninefold Lotus Yin Yang Pill had made all of the powers within his body more coordinated, and this would provide a significant boost to his combat prowess.

An Lin opened his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on his face. “I am no longer the same me that I once was.”

“I’m no longer the same either!”

A clear, pleasant voice sounded from behind him.

An Lin turned around, upon which his expression instantly froze on his face.

He was greeted by the sight of an incredibly gorgeous little girl who was about 1.3 meters tall and was wearing a love jade dress.

“Xiao… Xiaolan?!” An Lin was astonished.

A vibrant smile appeared on Little Xiaolan’s face.

“You’re seeing nine-year-old Xiaolan today. Do you like her?”

An Lin nodded numbly at the sight of the unforgettably beautiful smile being presented to him. “I do.”
