"What a hassle!"
Changâsheng said politely.
If he could become an Honored Guest Elder of the Divine Pill Pavilion, thereâd be a lot in it for him as well.
Then, as he was seen off by all the alchemists of the Divine Pill Pavilion, Changâsheng left the place.
"Senior brother, does this kid really have such a high natural talent for alchemy?"
Alchemist Zhang couldnât help but ask curiously.
Although he knew Changâshengâs alchemy was outstanding, he hadnât expected him to actually surpass even senior brother Wu Gang.
"Outstanding doesnât even cover it! This kidâs future is limitless!"
Wu Gang stared at Changâshengâs departing figure and murmured to himself.
Luckily heâd already pulled Changâsheng in as an Honored Guest Elder of the Divine Pill Pavilion.
"Why would we just let him walk out? We have to recruit him into our Divine Pill Pavilion!"
Alchemist Zhang anxiously blurted out.
This was something Wu Gang had thought of long ago, "Right now, heâs only willing to be an Honored Guest Elder, but Iâm sure it wonât be long before he joins our Divine Pill Pavilion!"
Wu Gang was full of confidence.
"Honored Guest Elder? That works too!"
Alchemist Zhang said slowly, better than having nothing to do with him.
"Hmph, whatâs the point of being upset? Itâs just infuriating!"
Zhang Siyue watched as Changâsheng left unscathed, stomping her foot in anger.
Sheâd planned that once Changâsheng arrived, he wouldnât be leaving so easily.
She never expected that not only was his alchemy better than hers, heâd even won her masterâs favor, which she could never have imagined.
"Heâd better not bump into me in the future, or heâll be sorry!"
Liu Siyue said furiously, turning and leaving.
Heaven-Reaching Tower.
After Changâsheng returned to the inn, he began studying the Flood Dragon Pill, and the two pill formulas heâd gotten from Meng Zheng and the others in his storage bagâone for the Hidden Heaven Pill, one for the Tiger Blood Pill.
Once those three pill formulas were perfected, he could then fuse them with the Divine Healing Pill. When that happened, heâd be able to refine even more powerful pill formulas.
[Flood Dragon PillâEntry Level!]
[Hidden Heaven PillâEntry Level!]
[Tiger Blood PillâEntry Level!]
In just three hours, Changâsheng had already studied all three pill formulas to the entry level stage.
[Flood Dragon Pill detected. Consume 5,000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]
[Hidden Heaven Pill detected. Consume 6,000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]
[Tiger Blood Pill detected. Consume 5,500 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]
The next moment, his panel popped up a prompt.
"Simplify!"
Changâsheng decisively chose to simplify them.
[Great Dao is Simple: Flood Dragon Pill simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Flood Dragon Pill == Beat Dragon!]
[Great Dao is Simple: Hidden Heaven Pill simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Hidden Heaven Pill == Gaze at Heaven!]
[Great Dao is Simple: Tiger Blood Pill simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Tiger Blood Pill == Beat Tiger!]
"Beat Dragon? Gaze at Heaven? Beat Tiger?"
Changâsheng thought to himself. These three seemed almost too simple.
So Changâsheng drew a dragon and a tiger, then left his room and went up to the roof of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
From here, you could see the sky.
Then Changâsheng flicked at the pictures of the tiger and dragon heâd drawn as he gazed up at the sky.
Flood Dragon Pill experience points +1!
Hidden Heaven Pill experience points +1!
Tiger Blood Pill experience points +1!
...
Next, all three pill formulas started rapidly racking up experience points like crazy.
Cultivators passing by saw Changâsheng making some pretty weird moves, but none of them asked.
After all, cultivators were already defying heavenâs will, and with so many cultivation techniques, who knew what someone else might do?
[Flood Dragon PillâPerfection!]
[Hidden Heaven PillâPerfection!]
[Tiger Blood PillâPerfection!]
Three hours later, Changâsheng had maxed out all three pill formulas.
[Flood Dragon Pill (Perfection), Hidden Heaven Pill (Perfection), Tiger Blood Pill (Perfection), Divine Healing Pill (Perfection)âFuse into a new pill formula?]
Just after all three hit perfection, the panel popped up yet another prompt.
"Fuse!"
This was exactly what Changâsheng had been waiting for; he immediately chose fuse.
After fusion, the pill formula would get even stronger.
[Flood Dragon Pill (Perfection), Hidden Heaven Pill (Perfection), Tiger Blood Pill (Perfection), Divine Healing Pill (Perfection)âFusion beginning... Fusing... Fusion complete. New pill formula acquired: Primordial Golden Pill!]
"Primordial Golden Pill?"
Changâsheng was surprised, just hearing the name sounded like a really kickass pill.
[Primordial Golden Pill detected. Consume 9,000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]
The next moment the panel popped up another prompt.
"Simplify!"
Changâsheng hit simplify without hesitation.
Though it cost a lot of Immortal Crystals, Changâsheng could stomach it.
[Great Dao is Simple: Primordial Golden Pill simplification starting... Simplifying... Simplification complete. Primordial Golden Pill == Pinch Elixir!]
"Pinch Elixir?"
Changâsheng thought to himself, then took out an ordinary Qi-Enhancing Pill and started pinching it in his hand.
Primordial Golden Pill experience points +1!
Primordial Golden Pill experience points +1!
...
The next moment, the Primordial Golden Pillâs experience points started shooting up like crazy.
[Primordial Golden Pill (Perfection)!]
As the sun set behind the mountains, Changâsheng finally maxed out the Primordial Golden Pillâs proficiency.
The next instant, a rush of memories about how to refine the Primordial Golden Pill flooded into Changâshengâs mind.
All those memories were thousands of different refining techniques for the Primordial Golden Pill.
Just a few breaths later, Changâsheng had already absorbed every last shred of those memories.
Right now, it was like heâd spent thousands of years as a veteran alchemist, everything about refining the Primordial Golden Pillâthe technique, the heat, the ingredientsâhe could control with absolute mastery.
"This pill actually requires Nine-leaf Immortal Grass and Myriad Year Flood Dragon Blood to refine?"
Changâsheng glanced at the recipe for the Primordial Golden Pill and couldnât help but mutter.
The other ingredients were easy to get, but these two were damn near impossible to find.
Nine-leaf Immortal Grass only grows where spiritual energy is incredibly dense, and rumor has it one leaf grows each millennium. So to get nine leaves, youâd need nine thousand years. Thatâs how rare it is.
