Take the Life-saving Elixir Pill in Yang Xiao's hand, for example. This is genuinely a good thing. For Yang Xiao, the value of this pill is definitely not inferior to a Nether-level Magical Artifact.
With this pill, he has the capital to contend with a Half-step Nether Realm, and even a true Netherworld Envoy.
Yang Xiao has no doubt that if he were cornered and swallowed this pill, unless he faced a monster like Wu Qingcang, he would be able to kill a typical Half-step Netherworld Envoy.
Fighting off a Netherworld Envoy still seems pretty difficult at the moment, but there's always a chance to escape, and that's enough.
Speaking of which, he seems to have a bit of fate with this pill, since there were at least three times when he almost swallowed it.
But each time he put it in his mouth, the predicament he faced would suddenly turn around, and he would spit it out again, wipe off the saliva, and carefully put it away.
