1 1-9 Pill Martial Supreme
Chapter 1
Mystic Moon continent, Great Xia Kingdom, Tianxuan City.
"Ouch …"
Feeling the pain all over his body, Ning Yue woke up with a start and tried to open his eyes. He looked around and realized that he was sitting on a high platform in the middle of the square, surrounded by a hubbub of voices.
"Where am I?" Ning Yue patted his head. Suddenly, his head felt like it was going to explode, and a huge amount of information flowed into his mind.
After some time, Ning Yue's expression finally eased. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was full of disbelief.
He was the number one Supremacy of the Sky Demon Region. He had reached the Supremacy stage before the age of twenty-five, and when he was thirty, he had broken through to the Sky Supreme stage, becoming the youngest Sky Supreme in the Sky Demon Region!
Furthermore, he was a ninth-grade pinnacle elixir master!
By chance, he had obtained the Reincarnation Elixir Dao in the Nether Cave. After studying it for many years, he had finally managed to refine a broken Reincarnation Elixir.
Unexpectedly, news of the elixir had leaked, and he had been attacked by the nine Supremacies of the Sky Demon Region. He had fought for three days and three nights at the top of the Sky Demon Region. Finally, he had used up all his energy and had no choice but to swallow the Reincarnation Elixir.
Who would have thought that this broken Reincarnation Elixir would really allow him to be reborn!
Furthermore, the memory of another youth had appeared in his mind.
According to the memory of that youth, it was year twenty of the Sky Demon Calendar, which meant that he had been reborn twenty years later.
The youth in his memory was also called Ning Yue. He was eighteen this year, and he was the eldest young master of the Ning family in Tianxuan City.
At eighteen, he was only at the fifth stage of the Body Tempering stage. In Tianxuan City, people of his age were mostly at the eighth or ninth stage of the Body Tempering stage.
Furthermore, the geniuses of the other three families had already reached the Acquired Stage.
Today was the day of the triennial competition for the Icy Cave assessment in Tianxuan City.
There were two types of competition. Five of them would be fought for by refining elixirs, and the other five would be fought for by sparring.
Ning Yue was representing the Ning family in the alchemy competition! However, he was clearly not in the right state today. He had even failed to refine the qi-gathering elixir easily!
Suddenly, sounds of discussion rang in Ning Yue's ears.
"Hehe, the Ning family is really pitiful. This time, they might not even get a single one of the ten spots for the Frozen Cave test."
"Yeah, in terms of alchemy attainments of the younger generation, other than Ning Yue, the Ning family is far behind the Wangs, Zhaos, and Lins."
"If the Ning family fails again, I'm afraid there will only be three big families in Tianxuan City in the future!"
"Ning Yue has already become a high-level alchemy apprentice and is only one step away from passing the test to become a first-grade alchemy master. He thought that he could turn the tide and win a place for the Ning family to enter the Icy Cave test. Who would have thought that he would even fail to refine a qi-gathering elixir?"
After all, Ning Yue's cultivation is only at Body Tempering Stage Five. His Yuan Qi can't keep up, so it's natural for him to fail in refining the Qi Gathering Elixir.
"…"
Ignoring the discussions around him, Ning Yue hurried to examine this frail body.
"A cultivation of Body Tempering Stage Five is too low. It's not enough."
Sitting cross-legged, Ning Yue used his slowly recovering soul force to examine this body carefully.
"It's indeed troublesome. No wonder he's only at Body Tempering Stage Five at the age of eighteen. His meridians are severely clogged. It's all thanks to his extraordinary soul force that he was able to reach Body Tempering Stage Five."
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! " Suddenly, Ning Yue's expression changed. He discovered a trace of liquid within the clogged meridians!
"Poisonous Blood Elixir! It's the residual effects of the Poisonous Blood Elixir! Who did it? How could they be so vicious as to use the Poisonous Blood Elixir on him! "
The so-called Poisonous Blood Elixir was made from eight types of poisonous herbs. It was colorless and odorless, and it would slowly eat away at the meridians of the person who consumed it. In less serious cases, the meridians would be clogged, and in more serious cases, one would die!
Furthermore, the Poisonous Blood Elixir not only had the effect of suppressing Yuan Qi, but also soul force! In other words, a person affected by the Poisonous Blood Elixir would not be able to use Yuan Qi or soul force easily!
"My current ability is not enough to force the Poisonous Blood Elixir out of my body. Only when I reach the Postnatal Stage will I have a chance to completely expel the Poisonous Blood Elixir from my body!" Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue temporarily set aside the anger in his heart and looked at the round table in front of him.
On the round table in front of him was a small alchemy cauldron. Within the cauldron, there were still remnants of the failed qi-gathering elixir.
"Luckily, there's still one more set of herbs," Glancing at the neatly arranged herbs beside the alchemy cauldron, Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
The qi-gathering elixir was the lowest form of the first grade elixir, the Qi gathering elixir.
All one needed to do was place the herbs in the alchemy cauldron and control the heat.
"The last time I failed to make the qi-gathering elixir, it must have been the doing of the Poisonous Blood Elixir," Ning Yue's eyes turned cold as he said coldly, "A mere Poisonous Blood Elixir won't be able to stop me, but a qi-gathering elixir? Child's play! "
"Bang!"
A crisp sound quietly rang out in the square.
Lin Feng of the Lin family slapped his palm heavily on the alchemy cauldron. Instantly, the lid of the cauldron shot up and a ball of crystal-clear liquid flew out.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he placed the elixir into a jade bottle that he had prepared earlier.
"Bang! Bang! "
Another two crisp sounds rang out. On the other side, Zhao Xuan of the Zhao family and Wang Tao of the Wangs slapped their alchemy cauldrons and placed the slightly dimmer elixir into the jade bottles.
"Lin Feng is indeed extraordinary. Not only has he reached the Postnatal Stage, but he is also very accomplished in the art of refining elixirs. Why didn't I realize this before?"
"The quality of the qi-gathering elixir that Lin Feng has refined must have reached the limit, right? If he improves a little more, he might be able to form the elixir. "
"Hehe, in my opinion, Lin Feng has the ability to refine the qi-gathering elixir. It's just that he doesn't want to discourage others."
At the same time, the Patriarch of the Wangs, Wang Qinian, smiled and said, "Hehe, Ning Hai, Ning Yue has already failed to refine the qi-gathering elixir. It seems like the Ning family won't get anything out of the five slots for the assessment in the Icy Cave."
Three years ago, the Wangs only won one slot in the Icy Cave assessment. This year, the Wangs had already won one slot in elixir refining.
And in the tournament, as Wang Tao of the Wangs had already reached the early Postnatal Stage, he would definitely win one slot.
He was very satisfied with this result.
The reason why everyone valued the Icy Cave so much was not because of the treasures in the Icy Cave, but because the Icy Cave was an assessment venue set up by Danwu College in Tianxuan City!
Danwu College was the best college in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and it was the gathering place for all the geniuses in the Great Xia Kingdom.
To be able to enter Danwu College was the highest honor for the younger generation of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Furthermore, if someone from the family really passed the assessment and entered Danwu College, it would be a great opportunity for small families like the Zhao family and the Wangs of Tianxuan City!
Therefore, the ten slots for the assessment in the Icy Cave were extremely precious!
"Look! Ning Yue! "
Just as Wang Qinian was looking at Ning Hai with his head held high, someone shouted and attracted everyone's attention.
On the high platform, Ning Yue slammed his right hand on the elixir cauldron. Wisps of primordial qi gushed out from his mind and entered the elixir cauldron through his palm.
Chapter 2
In an instant, the noisy plaza quietened down.
The Wangs, the Zhao family, and the Lin family all stared at the skillful young man on the stage as if they had seen a ghost.
What was going on?
Didn't Ning Yue fail to make the qi-gathering elixir? How could he refine it again in such a short time?
Smack!
"Good!" Ning Hai's eyes welled up with tears as he slammed his palm on the chair beneath him. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh and blood oozing out.
The Ning family clenched their fists in agitation. The fire in their hearts that had just been extinguished was reignited once again!
This young man who was the pride of the Ning family, this talented young man, this strong young man, had always been the hope of the Ning family's rise!
"Hmph! Don't get ahead of yourself. You're only at Body Tempering Stage Five, and you want to refine a qi-gathering elixir again in such a short time? You're dreaming! "
Just then, the patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Zhen, snorted coldly and said mockingly, "There's still time for a stick of incense to burn. If your son is not one of the first five to refine a qi-gathering elixir, then the Ning family will have nothing to show for the five spots in the Icy Cave!"
Bang!
Just as Lin Zhen's words sounded, the second genius of the Lin Clan, Lin Yang, placed a crystal clear liquid into a jade bottle on a high platform in the middle of the plaza under the gazes of the crowd.
"It's already four. Can Ning Yue be the fifth one to refine a qi-gathering elixir?"
"Difficult, very difficult. Based on the current situation, even if Ning Yue is unharmed, it will be difficult for him to be the fifth one to refine a qi-gathering elixir."
"Yes, Lin Shun of the Lin family is already extracting the liquid, and Ning Yue has just started. In my opinion, the fifth one to refine a qi-gathering elixir will definitely be Lin Shun!"
"Hehe, if they can't get a spot in the Icy Cave assessment, then the Ning family is really going to be shaved bald."
"Of course. After all, Ning Xuan has the highest cultivation among the younger generation of the Ning family. However, he is only at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Ten. He is still a distance away from the Elementary Realm."
"Ning Yue's current actions are nothing more than a last-ditch struggle." Looking at the young man who was still working hard on the stage, most people shook their heads, certain that the Ning family was doomed this time.
Ignoring the discussions around him, Ning Yue quickly extracted each herb and placed them into the small jade bottle in front of him.
After refining all the medicinal herbs into liquid, Ning Yue looked at the five small jade bottles in front of him and took a deep breath. His eyes narrowed and his wrists moved quickly.
In the next moment, the five small jade bottles on the high platform were all poured into the pill furnace!
"Hahaha, looks like Ning Yue's brain has gone haywire. Throwing five herbs into the furnace at the same time? Isn't he afraid of his Dan exploding? "
"Heh heh, we'd better stay away from him. If the explosion of the pill furnace affects us, then the gains will not make up for the losses."
"That's right, let's get away from him quickly!"
In an instant, only a few bold people were left near the round stage where Ning Yue was.
The rest of the people chose to stay away.
"Combining five medicinal herbs at the same time … Although this can save time, if the strength of one's Soul Power is not strong enough, the Dan will explode if it's light, and if it's heavy, one's life will be in danger …" Looking at Ning Yue's crazy actions on the high platform, an experienced first-grade Alchemist muttered to himself.
"Heh heh, Ning Hai, I have to say that Ning Yue is really a genius. He is bold but meticulous. This kid will definitely achieve great things in the future!" Wang Qinian smiled as he gave Ning Hai a thumbs up.
"Sigh, Brother Qinian, you can't say that. After all, Ning Yue is the most talented alchemist in Tianxuan City. It's inevitable that he will achieve great things in the future." Waving his hand, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Lie, teased, "Who knows, he might be able to enter Danwu College this time and become a carp that leaps through the dragon's gate."
"You two, it's not a good idea to add insult to injury, is it?"
Lin Zhen's expression turned cold. The first half of his sentence was fine, but he suddenly changed the topic and said with a sinister smile, "If you want to mock him, you should at least wait until Lin Shun has refined the qi-gathering elixir. Otherwise, people will say that we don't see the big picture and are just bragging."
"Hahaha …"
Ning Hai's face was ashen. If Ning Yue's actions had given them confidence, then his current actions had completely destroyed their confidence!
Combining five medicinal herbs at the same time was a difficult task that even a first-grade Alchemist would find hard to accomplish!
"Sigh, I originally thought that the Young Master could help the Ning family obtain a place in the Icy Cave assessment, but now it seems that it's basically impossible …" Sighing lightly and looking at the solemn youth on the high platform, Head Elder Ning Tang of the Ning family realized that he had said the wrong thing and corrected himself, "It's going to be a little difficult."
"Hahaha, good-for-nothing is indeed good-for-nothing. If he can refine the qi-gathering elixir, I'll write my name backwards!" Looking at the youth who was messing around on the high platform, Lin Feng of the Lin family laughed sinisterly.
Among the younger generation of Tianxuan City, in terms of martial prowess, he was undoubtedly a genius.
He had broken through to the Acquired Stage at such a young age.
Furthermore, his talent in alchemy was not low, and he was only one step away from successfully passing the assessment and becoming a first-grade Alchemist.
But even though his talent in alchemy was very high, in Tianxuan City, there was still a youth who was even more talented than him!
That was Ning Yue!
No matter what medicinal herb he refined, Ning Yue would always be one step ahead of him, and the quality would always be slightly higher.
"Hmph! With the Poisoned Blood Powder in your body, even if you have godly abilities, you will not be able to refine the qi-gathering elixir! "With a cold grunt, Lin Feng was a hundred percent confident that Ning Yue would definitely fail in his refinement!
"Lin Feng, congratulations. This time, Ning Yue has finally fallen from his pedestal. From now on, in Tianxuan City, you are undoubtedly a genius!" Wang Tao cupped his fists and laughed.
"That's right, it looks like you are determined to pass the Danwu College assessment this time," Zhao Xuan echoed, "After you enter Danwu College, don't forget about us."
"Sure, sure," The corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled up as he replied casually.
After all, with the incident with the Poisoned Blood Powder, without the help of Zhao Xuan and the rest, it would have been difficult for him to succeed.
"That lad Lin Shun is finally going to refine the qi-gathering elixir …"
Glancing at the youth on the other side of the high platform, whose eyes were tightly shut, Lin Feng could not conceal the excitement on his face and became more and more unbridled.
In the plaza, countless gazes were directed towards Lin Shun. Everyone wanted to know whether Lin Shun would be able to refine the qi-gathering elixir at the last moment.
As for Ning Yue, he was completely ignored.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound slowly rang out in the plaza. Lin Shun slapped the cauldron and the qi-gathering elixir within shot out.
"Bang!"
However, at this moment, the youth on the other side suddenly opened his eyes and slapped the cauldron heavily with his palm.
Kacha!
In the next moment, the lid of the elixir flew off and the cauldron exploded!
Chapter 3
Silence!
Silence!
Deathly silence!
In the vast plaza, everyone held their breath as they stared in shock at the silver-white elixir in the youth's hand. The expressions on their faces were exceptionally interesting.
"Crack!"
On the high platform, Ning Hai stood up abruptly. The chair he was sitting on was shattered into pieces!
"Yue 'er … you … did it!" Ning Hai's eyes were slightly moist as he gazed at the skinny youth on the round platform.
"Ning Yue, well done!" The head elder of the Ning family, Ning Tang, had a look of excitement on his face.
Ning Hai did not hide the excitement on his face. "With Yue 'er's talent in alchemy, it is not impossible for him to pass the assessment and enter Danwu College!"
Upon hearing Ning Hai's words, the younger generation of the Ning family paused for a moment. They clenched their fists and looked at the youth on the round platform with admiration.
The younger generation of the Ning family was fortunate to have Ning Yue's support. Otherwise, they would have been utterly humiliated today!
"No, he did not refine a qi-gathering elixir … it seems to be … a qi-gathering elixir!"
The silence lasted for a full minute before it was broken by an incredulous voice.
Immediately, the crowd began to clamor.
"Am I blind? Did Ning Yue refine a qi-gathering elixir?"
"You're not blind. This really happened."
"Look, the patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Zhen, his face has turned green! Lin Shun had already refined a qi-gathering elixir, but who would have thought that Ning Yue would be so abnormal as to snatch away the spot for the assessment in the Frozen Cave? How could he not be angry? "
Whoosh!
The crowd's gaze shifted from Ning Yue to Lin Zhen in unison.
Being stared at by so many people, Lin Zhen did not conceal the anger on his face. However, the shock in his eyes was not the least bit inferior to the others!
No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that what Ning Yue was holding was not a qi-gathering elixir, but a qi-gathering elixir!
Ning Yue is not a first-grade alchemist yet, right?
A high-level alchemy apprentice was actually able to refine a first-grade elixir. Even in Danwu College, there might not be anyone with such talent!
However, this nerve-wracking truth was exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
On the other side, the excitement on Lin Shun's face abruptly disappeared. He stared dumbly at the youth in front of him and cried out involuntarily, "Qi Gathering Pill, this … is impossible!"
"Hu!"
Looking at the white elixir in his hand, Ning Yue let out a sigh of relief. The astonished gazes from the surroundings reminded him of the time when he was promoted to the peak of the ninth level Alchemist.
Now that the heavens had given him another chance, he would definitely grasp it!
Glancing at the dumbfounded Lin Shun on the other side, Ning Yue smiled and slowly walked down the round platform under the gaze of the crowd.
"Cough cough!"
Ning Hai let out two dry coughs to draw the attention of the crowd.
"Hehe, Patriarch Lin, since Yue 'er has refined the qi-gathering elixir within the allotted time, then the fifth place belongs to the Ning family," Ning Hai said with a bright smile.
Although Lin Zhen was extremely unwilling, the truth was right in front of him and he could do nothing about it.
"Hmph! We … "With a cold grunt, Lin Zhen turned around and walked out of the arena.
"Wait!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Lin Feng beside him said in a low voice, "I want to check the elixir that Ning Yue has refined! I suspect that he has not refined a qi-gathering elixir! It's a fake! "
Whoosh!
Lin Feng's words caused the originally quiet arena to become noisy once again.
"Fake? Could it be that the elixir that Ning Yue has refined is not a qi-gathering elixir? "
"That's hard to say. After all, Ning Yue's cultivation is only at Body Tempering Stage Five, and he has already failed once. There's no way that he can refine a qi-gathering elixir a second time."
"Maybe this elixir was hidden in Ning Yue's hands all along, and he took it out at the last moment to turn the tide!"
"That's right, check the elixir!"
"Check the elixir!"
In an instant, the crowd became rowdy and clamored for the elixir to be checked.
Looking at Ning Yue provocatively, Lin Feng's lips curled up and he thought to himself, "How can you refine a qi-gathering elixir with a poisoned body! This time, I will make sure that your reputation is ruined! "
Ning Yue stopped in his tracks and said leisurely, "It's not that I can't check the elixir, but Young Master Lin, why are you slandering me like this?"
Lin Feng laughed coldly and said, "Slandering you? Do you think you're worthy? Just one sentence, hand over the elixir! Let me check! "
Ning Yue scoffed coldly, "Who do you think you are! A mere alchemy apprentice, do you think you have the right to check a first-grade elixir? "
"You!" Clenching his fists, Lin Feng said coldly, "Fine! Fine! I really don't have the right to check a first-grade elixir, Liu Shan! "
An elder dressed in black walked out from the crowd. The two-star badge on the elder's shoulder indicated that he was a second-grade alchemist!
In the Sky Demon Territory, martial cultivation was divided into the Tempered Body, Acquired Stage, Connate Stage, True Martial Stage, Primal Core Stage, Yin Yang Stage, Creation Stage, Human Stage, Earth Stage, and Sky Stage.
The ten grades of alchemists corresponded to the martial realm. Their abilities might be slightly lower, but their status was very high.
Raising an eyebrow at Ning Yue, Lin Feng said proudly, "Liu Shan is a second-grade alchemist and a guest elder of the Lin family. Does he have the right to check a first-grade elixir?"
Ning Yue shrugged. "It's just so-so."
"Hmm?" Frowning, Liu Shan casually glanced at the white elixir in Ning Yue's hand and said coldly, "Youngsters these days really don't know their place. Even though the Qi-gathering Elixir is only a first-grade elixir, the process of refining it is extremely complicated. Even I have some difficulty refining it, and you want to refine it? Let me check the elixir. "
"Hmph! Hand the elixir to you? " Ning Yue snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "The elixir is in my hands. Since you are a second-grade alchemist, you can easily tell if the elixir in my hand is a first-grade Qi-gathering Elixir."
Whoosh!
Ning Yue's words instantly caused an uproar in the square.
One had to know that Liu Shan had just passed the Alchemy Union's second-grade alchemist exam three days ago and was a legitimate second-grade alchemist.
He had asked Ning Yue for the elixir, but Ning Yue had refused to give it to him. Could it be that he was guilty and the elixir he refined was really trash?
"I didn't think that Ning Yue might have refined a trash elixir."
"That's right, you can't judge a book by its cover."
"Ning Yue, hurry up and hand the elixir to Master Liu. Let him check it properly!"
"Hehe, if Master Liu finds out that the elixir is fake, then the Ning family's quota for the Frozen Cave exam will fall into the hands of the Lin family."
Ning Yue's face darkened and he said coldly, "Your name is Liu Shan?"
Slightly stunned, a trace of anger flashed across Liu Shan's face.
In Tianxuan City, other than the few old farts of the Alchemy Union, almost everyone had to call him "Master Liu".
Chapter 4
"Are you really a Second Tier Alchemist?" Ning Yue's lips curled up as he asked calmly.
"Hmph! My Alchemist title is recognized by the Alchemist Union. Who do you think you are? How dare you question me! "Liu Shan sneered.
Looking at Liu Shan's eyes, Ning Yue shrugged and said in a low voice, "If I remember correctly, as long as you can refine a Second Tier Elixir within the stipulated time, the Alchemist Union will give you a Two Star Badge."
"With the strength of your soul, it is impossible to refine a Second Tier Elixir."
"Furthermore, your eyes are dull and dark. It is obvious that you have recently consumed the Soul Devouring Elixir that strengthens your soul."
"From the faint smell of Blue Lotus and Withered Leaf Grass emanating from your body, it is obvious that the test for you to advance to a Second Tier Alchemist is to refine the Marrow Cleansing Elixir!"
Liu Shan's entire body froze as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He suddenly snorted and said angrily, "You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! A mere alchemy apprentice dares to criticize me, a true Second Tier Alchemist! Absolutely unreasonable! "
Then, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Ning Yue said unhurriedly, "Even though the Soul Devouring Elixir can strengthen your soul for a short period of time, the side effects are very obvious. Now, every time you want to refine an Elixir, your eyes will emit a heart-wrenching pain, right?"
"Three days, if you cannot completely remove the residual effects of the Soul Devouring Elixir within three days, then your eyes will definitely lose their light."
"Nonsense!" Liu Shan's eyes flickered as he tried to control himself from trembling.
"Originally, I wanted to tell you how to remove the residual effects of the Soul Devouring Elixir. Since you say that I am only an alchemy apprentice, I am afraid that you will not believe my method." Helplessly shrugging, Ning Yue turned to leave.
"What! You have a method to remove it! "
Ning Yue's words almost made Liu Shan jump.
For the past three days, every time he wanted to refine an Elixir, his eyes would be in extreme pain, causing him to hover between life and death.
Furthermore, he had promised Lin Zhen that he would concoct the Qi Gathering Pill for the Lin Family. Looking at the current situation, it was clearly impossible.
"Hehe, the pill in my hand, is it a Qi Gathering Pill or not?" With a slight smile, Ning Yue waved the silver-white pill in his hand and said lightly.
"Qi Gathering Pill! It's a Qi-gathering Pill! "
At this time, Liu Shan carefully looked at the pill in Ning Yue's hand that was emitting a faint white mist. His body trembled and he said in a clear voice, "Everyone, I am a hundred percent sure that the pill in Ning Yue's hand is a Qi Gathering Pill! Moreover, the quality has reached Supreme Grade! "
Hua!
Liu Shan's words caused a huge uproar.
"Master Liu, is it really a transcendent-grade Qi-gathering Pill?"
"Could it be that Ning Yue really concocted a first-grade pill?"
"I, Liu Shan, swear on my honor! The pill in Ning Yue's hand is a transcendent-grade Qi-gathering Pill! "Liu Shan said in a low voice," Even I would find it difficult to concoct the pill he concocted! "
"Since Master Liu is swearing on his honor, it seems that Ning Yue really did concoct a transcendent-grade Qi-gathering Pill."
"Yes, I didn't expect Ning Yue to be so talented. A transcendent-grade Qi-gathering Pill is considered superior even among first-grade pills, right?"
"Tsk tsk, look, Lin Feng's face has turned green," someone pointed at Lin Feng and said.
Following this person's finger, the crowd saw that Lin Feng's face was livid and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to skin Liu Shan alive!
Indeed, Liu Shan was a guest elder of the Lin Family. Not only did he not speak up for himself, but he was also trying his best to pander to Ning Yue. This was really infuriating.
"Liu Shan! Do you know what you are doing! "Lin Feng stared coldly at Liu Shan and scolded him.
"Young Master Lin, as a second-grade pill forging master, I, Liu Shan, always speak the truth!" At this moment, Liu Shan acted righteously. "Young Master Ning really did concoct a transcendent-grade Qi-gathering Pill!"
"Impossible! Impossible! How could that good-for-nothing have concocted a transcendent-grade Qi-gathering Pill! "Lin Feng said crazily.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Lin Zhen did not want to stay any longer on the high platform and walked away. "Since Ning Yue has concocted a transcendent-grade Qi-gathering Pill, then the fifth place belongs to the Ning family! Feng 'er, don't embarrass yourself here! Come back with me! "
"Go back?"
Ning Yue raised his voice and said coldly, "Now I suspect that what Lin Feng has concocted is not a qi-gathering elixir, but a fake! A fake! We should check it! "
Lin Zhen was stunned, then laughed in anger. "Just because you say that he has not concocted a qi-gathering elixir is not a fake? Who do you think you are! "
Lin Feng was already flustered and exasperated. He said angrily, "Ning Yue, don't you dare slander me!"
With a frosty expression, Ning Yue said coldly, "Whether I am someone or not is not for you to judge. Since your son wants to check the elixir I have concocted, then there is nothing wrong with me checking his elixir!"
"Fine! Since you want to check it, I will let you check it properly! " Lin Feng took out the qi-gathering elixir he had concocted and said righteously, "But you do not have the right to check the qi-gathering elixir!"
Shrugging, Ning Yue said calmly, "Liu Shan, as a second-grade pill forging master, I believe you should be able to distinguish between a qi-gathering elixir and a qi-gathering elixir?"
"Hehe, a qi-gathering elixir is not even a first-grade elixir, of course I would be able to distinguish between them," Liu Shan said with a slight smile.
"How about this, Liu Shan was the one who checked my elixir just now. For the sake of fairness, let him check it now as well." After a moment's thought, Ning Yue raised his voice slightly and said to Lin Feng, "Liu Shan is a guest elder of your family, you wouldn't have any objections, would you?"
"Check it properly!" Lin Feng said through gritted teeth as he handed the jade bottle to Liu Shan.
In truth, Lin Feng was extremely unwilling to hand over the qi-gathering elixir to Liu Shan to check, but due to the pressure, he had no other choice.
Moreover, he was the one who had called Liu Shan out, and it would be inexcusable if he did not let him check it.
"Of course!" Liu Shan said proudly as he took the jade bottle.
He opened the bottle and sniffed it carefully, then dipped his finger into it and placed it in his mouth.
Pa!
Liu Shan suddenly threw the jade bottle on the ground and said angrily, "What kind of rubbish is this? How is this a qi-gathering elixir? It is clearly a medicinal liquid that has been randomly put together and has no effect at all!"
Crash!
Liu Shan's action immediately caused a commotion.
"Who would have thought that what Lin Feng refined was a fake qi-gathering elixir, and to think that he was cheering so happily just now."
"I thought that Lin Feng's talent in refining elixirs was very high, but now it seems that he is far from Ning Yue's level."
"Hehe, Lin Feng really shot himself in the foot this time. Master Liu said that the qi-gathering elixir he refined was fake, doesn't that mean that the spot he won is gone?"
"That's for sure, and Ning Yue refined a qi-gathering elixir. That means that the first five spots for the assessment in the Icy Cave belong to the Ning family."
"Who would have thought that Ning Yue would be so nature-defying, single-handedly turning the tide and winning two spots for the Ning family for the assessment in the Icy Cave."
Chapter 5
Whoosh!
The qi-gathering elixir scattered on the ground and the taunts in his ears caused Lin Feng to freeze in place.
He had never imagined that Liu Shan would betray him, and so thoroughly at that!
He had really shot himself in the foot this time.
"Good! Very good! "
After a while, Lin Feng reacted and clenched his fists, glaring at Ning Yue. "Ning Yue, you have guts! You tricked me! "
"Haha, tricked you? Compared to the damage you caused me at Scattered Flower Brothel, I am only collecting some interest today. " With a smile, Ning Yue came to Lin Feng's side and deliberately lowered his voice. "Poison lotus seed, green bristle grass …"
Every time Ning Yue mentioned a medicinal ingredient, Lin Feng's face darkened. In the end, he scolded, "Enough! I don't understand what you are talking about. I want to challenge you! In terms of martial cultivation! "
Peng!
At this moment, Lin Feng's right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, and a strong aura rushed towards Ning Yue.
"This aura … Lin Feng has advanced to the middle stage of the Postliminary Realm!"
"How is that possible! Lin Feng is only eighteen, right? An eighteen -year-old in the middle stage of the Postliminary Realm is not bad even in Danwu College. "
"That's for sure. At this rate, Lin Feng will very likely advance to the Postliminary Realm before the age of twenty! Then he will be able to break through the examination restrictions of Danwu College and directly enter! "
The voices from all around made Lin Feng feel a sense of superiority. He said proudly, "Let's bet on the quota for the examination in the Icy Cave! Whoever loses will have to hand over the quota for the examination that their family obtained! "
"Lin Feng's move is really vicious. He embarrassed Ning Yue in front of so many people."
"Exactly, I don't know if Ning Yue will agree impulsively."
"Hehe, in my opinion, Ning Yue will definitely not agree."
"Even an idiot would not agree to it. After all, Ning Yue is only a Body Tempering Realm Stage Five. How could he fight against Lin Feng? You're courting death! "
"Tsk tsk, Lin Feng is really something. Alchemy is not as good as Ning Yue, so he wants to get back at him through martial arts."
"Nope." Facing Lin Feng's powerful aura, Ning Yue remained unmoved. His answer was within everyone's expectations, and he replied without hesitation.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng was slightly taken aback. Then, he laughed wildly, "Trash will always be trash! I really didn't misjudge you. You really disappoint me! "
"Fine, since you don't agree, I won't force you." Rolling his eyes, Lin Feng said, "I have something to say first. In the martial arts competition in three days, you better hope that the trash from the Ning family doesn't meet me. Otherwise, I will let them know why the flowers are red!"
"Placing in the Icy Cave is too little." In the next moment, Ning Yue's eyes turned cold. He said coldly, "Let's bet our lives! Do you dare? "
Let's bet our lives, do you dare?
Ning Yue's words were like thunder on a sunny day, ringing in everyone's ears.
Crazy!
Very crazy!
Extremely crazy!
If not me, then who else!
For a moment, everyone in the square was stunned. Their eyes were wide open, and their mouths were slightly agape. They stared at the young man in the middle of the square in disbelief.
He is only a Body Tempering Realm Stage Five.
How dare he challenge Lin Feng, who is in the middle stage of the Houtian Realm?
This is obviously courting death!
"Bet our lives …" Frowning, Lin Feng stared at Ning Yue's eyes, hoping to find some clues.
However, Ning Yue's eyes were like torches, without the slightest flaw.
"People who don't even dare to bet their lives, don't be so arrogant here." Shrugging his shoulders, Ning Yue said disdainfully.
"Hmph! Since you are courting death, don't blame me! "Lin Feng's face darkened as he coldly snorted.
"Not bad."
With a slight smile, Ning Yue said to Lin Zhen, "Do you have any objections?"
"I have no objections, but I feel that the Icy Cave should be added to the Icy Cave. Only then would it be interesting." Lin Zhen didn't think that Ning Yue would win, so he replied without hesitation.
If it was alchemy, he would still be a little afraid. After all, Ning Yue was the publicly acknowledged genius of alchemy in Profound Sky City. In comparison, Lin Feng was slightly lacking.
But in terms of martial arts cultivation, Ning Yue was a piece of trash, a complete piece of trash.
In his opinion, Lin Feng could kill Ning Yue with a single hand!
"Good, straightforward indeed." Nodding his head, Ning Yue said casually, "In the martial competition three days later, I will have a deathmatch with Lin Feng."
"Hmph! Then I will let you live for three more days! "With a heavy snort, Lin Feng said angrily.
As for Lin Zhen, he turned around and said to Ning Hai, "You really gave birth to a good son. The mountains will not change, and the rivers will continue to flow. We will see you in three days!"
As he spoke, Lin Zhen waved his hand and led the Lin Family out of the square.
"Master! Is Ning Yue being impulsive? "Ning Tang was a little anxious and said hurriedly.
"That's right, Master. Brother Yue's cultivation is only at the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm. It is a little risky to have a deathmatch with Lin Feng."
"Master, I will fight that bastard!"
"That's right. Brother Yue's talent in alchemy is so good. He can definitely enter Danwu College. He must not die here!"
The younger generation of the Ning family was filled with righteous indignation.
"Behave yourselves!" Ning Hai shouted and said in a deep voice, "Yue 'er knows what he is doing. Let's wait and see."
Everyone in the Ning Clan suppressed the rage in their hearts and secretly resolved that they would tie Ning Yue up three days later even if they had to tie him up. They would absolutely not allow him to have a life and death battle with Lin Feng!
"Master Lin, according to the rules, Lin Feng's place in the Frozen Cave belongs to the Ning family," Ning Yue said loudly.
Hearing this, Lin Feng staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"The place will be temporarily left with the Ning family for three days. We will get it back after three days." As for Lin Zhen, he paused for a moment and left some harsh words. Then, he left the square without looking back.
"Congratulations, congratulations. The Ning family has a genius like Ning Yue. The rise of the family is just around the corner." Zhao Lie and Wang Qinian cupped their hands at Ning Hai and hurriedly chased after Lin Zhen.
Ning Yue paused for a moment in front of Liu Shan and said in a low voice, "Go back and boil the Earth Spiritual Root into a medicinal liquid with orange peels. Apply it to your eyes every morning, afternoon, and night. This will alleviate the poison in your body."
I will give you the solution in three days. "
"Damn it! Wait until I get rid of the hidden danger in my body. I will make sure your reputation is ruined! "Liu Shan cursed. He was furious that he was led by the nose by Ning Yue!
However, he had no other choice. If he did not follow Ning Yue's instructions, he would definitely go blind in three days!
"I hereby announce that the competition for the place to enter the Ice Cave has come to an end!"
Following Ning Hai's announcement, the grand event of Tianxuan City came to an end.
Everything happened too quickly. No one expected that Ning Yue would turn the tide at the last moment and refine a first-grade elixir, the Qi Gathering Elixir, with the status of a high-level alchemy apprentice.
Moreover, he exposed Lin Feng's cheating and obtained an additional place for the Ning family.
If it were not for Ning Yue, the Ning family would definitely be shaved bald and might even be removed from Tianxuan City.
Originally, Ning Yue's performance was perfect. The only flaw was that he agreed to a deathmatch with Lin Feng in three days!
It seemed that he was a little impulsive.
One must know that Ning Yue's cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm, while Lin Feng had already reached the middle stage of the Postnatal Realm.
Even if there was a three-day buffer period, no one believed that Ning Yue, who was known as trash in the Martial Dao, would have any great breakthrough in his cultivation in three days.
In the eyes of most people, a fifth-level Body Tempering Realm cultivator against a middle stage Postnatal Realm cultivator.
Chapter 6
Ning family, Ning Yue's room.
After returning to the Ning family, Ning Yue locked himself in his room and ordered that no one should disturb him.
Because he knew very well what the most important thing right now was to cultivate! Quickly cultivate!
Lin Feng's cultivation was at the middle stage of the Houtian realm. Three days later, he and Lin Feng would have a life-and-death duel. If he couldn't make a breakthrough before then, then he would only be courting death if he went there three days later!
"… Everything has a spirit. Spirit is transformed into Qi and is born from luck …"
Sitting cross-legged, Ning Yue's hands constantly moved. The Spiritual Transformation Art was the foundation of his cultivation to the Heavenly Supreme Realm in his previous life, so he was already familiar with it. Using it to nourish his body couldn't be any better.
Kacha!
Suddenly, an intense pain engulfed his whole body. Ning Yue clenched his teeth and endured.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!
Another three crisp sounds could be heard. Ning Yue hurriedly checked his body. A few of the blocked tendons and meridians had been unblocked, and the spiritual energy inside was dispersed, scattering in all directions.
Body Tempering Stage Eight!
"If I want to unblock all the blocked meridians, with my current strength, it might be a little troublesome. I have to refine a Supreme Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill."
The flaw of this body was that it was already eighteen years old, and it had missed the golden opportunity to cultivate. Even if it caught up in the future, it would be difficult for it to reach the pinnacle of its previous life.
Therefore, he decided to clear all the blocked meridians in his body first.
Anyway, he was already at Body Tempering Stage Eight. With the help of the memories from his previous life, he was basically invincible in the Body Tempering Stage.
However, it would still be difficult to deal with Lin Feng, who was at the middle stage of the Houtian realm.
Furthermore, the meridians in his body were severely blocked. If he wanted to raise his cultivation again, he would have to clear all the blocked meridians in his body!
And the best pill to open the meridians was undoubtedly the Marrow Cleansing Pill, a top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill!
Although there were Marrow Cleansing Pills on the market, they were of low quality and were far from enough to open up the blocked tendons and vessels in his body.
Therefore, he decided to personally refine a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill!
Thinking of this, Ning Yue immediately got up, took his private money and a black robe, and quietly left the Ning family under the cover of the night.
After leaving the Ning family, he did not go to the medicine store immediately. Instead, he wandered around Tianxuan City.
Tianxuan City was just a border city. Even though it was small, it was well-equipped and had everything one needed.
This world was extremely vast, so vast that Ning Yue, who had cultivated to the Sky Supreme level in his previous life, had never been to many places.
There were a total of five continents under the Heavenly Demon Region: Dark Moon, Ocean, Equipment Refinery, Elixir Formation, and Central!
Tianxuan city was a small one. Border of Tianxuan. Continent.
About 15 minutes later, Ning Yue turned into a remote alley and put on the black robe that he had prepared.
. One. one, one one two two. "1"., "One"....
"Tian: Tian" The "Ning" Tianxuan "Tian". "] Tian" was, "Tian" Started. Snow. "Ning"
"Tian" Tian "Tian" Tianxuan City's biggest medicine store – Snow Pavilion.
The Snow Domain Pavilion in Tianxuan City was just a branch.
"Welcome to Snow Pavilion."
As soon as he stepped into the Snow Pavilion, a sweet voice was heard. A young lady with a voluptuous body smiled. "How can I help you?"
"I have a list of medicinal herbs here. Help me prepare it. Give me one, no, two portions of the medicinal herbs on the list.
Ning Yue didn't talk nonsense. He found a pen and paper and wrote down the medicinal materials needed to refine the Marrow-Cleansing Pill. Originally, he only needed one, but thinking of his current weak body, he was afraid that the refining would fail, so he asked for one more.
Looking at the man in the black robe, Lu Suan frowned. He took over the list and skimmed through it. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "If I am not wrong, you are buying these materials to make the Marrow Cleansing Pellet, right? It's just that there might be a problem with your pill formula, because it's missing two main medicinal ingredients and has an extra three-leaf clover. "
Lu Wei looked at Ning Yue proudly. It was as if she was saying, "Luckily I reminded you. Otherwise, you would have wasted all these medicine."
She herself was a Second Grade Pill Refiner, for the most basic pill like Marrow Cleansing Pill, the pill recipe was also very familiar.
Although there were many recipes for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it was the same. The two main ingredients, Snake Tail Grass and Blue Lotus, were essential.
"The recipe is wrong?" Ning Yue looked at the lady in front of him and the two star badge on her shoulder. He was shocked. "Are you really a Second Grade Alchemist? Don't you know that the recipe is unpredictable? "
This recipe was recorded in the "Reincarnation Pill Dao". In his previous life, he was inspired to refine all the pills in the book. There was no problem.
"Missy, what are you doing here? Just leave these things to the staff."
An old man dressed in black walked over. On the old man's shoulder hung a Three Star Badge, indicating that he was a Third Grade Alchemist!
Turning around, Lu Wei passed the list to the old man and said angrily, "Elder Hiroshi, take a look. What kind of Marrow Cleansing Pill is this? I told him the recipe is wrong and he laughed at me for being a Second Grade Alchemist! "
After taking a look at the list, Elder Hiroshi frowned and shook his head. "Two of the most important herbs are indeed missing."
"My Second Grade Alchemist is recognized by the Alchemy Union. Otherwise, they would not have given me a badge!" Raising her head like a victorious rooster, Lu Wei pouted. "Elder Hiroshi said there's a problem with the recipe. Do you believe it now?"
If it wasn't for the fact that this body urgently needed the Marrow Cleansing Pill to unblock the meridians, Ning Yue might still be here to talk to them. But now that time was tight, he could not be bothered to talk nonsense. He said impatiently, "Don't worry about whether it's the real recipe or not. Grab two sets of ingredients for me."
Hearing Ning Yue's words, Lu Wei stomped her feet angrily. "Why don't you listen to my advice? I told you the recipe is fake, fake, but you don't believe me! Could it be that some rich young master has money to burn? "
Ning Yue smiled. "Whether I have money or not has nothing to do with you. I'm running a business. I won't chase my customers away, right?"
In Ning Yue's heart, you won't chase me away, right?
But what Lu Wei said next made Ning Yue have the urge to vomit blood.
"You can leave. We don't want to do business with you." Lu Wei pointed at the door and said coldly.
"What the hell? You really really don't want to do business with me?" Ning Yue almost fell to the ground. This was the first time he was chased out of his shop. In his previous life, whenever he went to a medicinal herb shop, the people inside were all very respectful. But now, he was chased out by a mere Second Grade Alchemist.
Her eyes rolled and her mouth revealed a smile. Lu Wei said, "It's not that I can't do business with you. As long as you can refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I can even give you these ingredients for free. Ten sets! But if you fail, you have to pay me the price of ten sets! "
"Give me ten sets for free. I don't need that much. Just two will do." Ning Yue did not expect Lu Wei to be so generous. He waved his hand.
"Aren't you afraid that the wind will cut your tongue? Come with me!"
With a sneer, Lu Wei walked into the Snow Pavilion. "Old Hiroshi, prepare one, no, two sets of ingredients for him."
"Mister, please don't be offended. Eldest Miss just came from the capital. She is not a shop assistant. Moreover, her personality is like this. It's not directed at you." Old Hiroshi apologized with a bitter smile.
"Eldest Miss?" Ning Yue was a little surprised. He thought that Lu Wei was a shop assistant. But now it seemed that he thought too much.
She turned out to be a Ms Perfect. His attitude made her angry.
Imagine, a Ms Perfect being choked in front of a loser. She would definitely fly into a rage.
"Mister, Marrow Cleansing Pill is a Second Tier Pill." Old Hiroshi said. "May I know your rank …"
Chapter 7
"Wait a moment, I'll go prepare the ingredients you need," Elder Hiroshi led Ning Yue through the Snow Domain Pavilion and stopped in front of an alchemy room before leaving in a hurry.
Outside the alchemy room, Lu Wei cupped her fists and looked at Ning Yue as if he was an idiot.
Ning Yue could not be bothered with her. He closed his eyes and secretly went over the refining method of the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his mind to make sure nothing went wrong.
"Hmph!" Seeing Ning Yue close his eyes, Lu Wei snorted coldly and said to Ning Yue, "A dead pig doesn't fear boiling water."
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Ten sets of ingredients for a total of two thousand gold coins. Leave them here first," Lu Wei nudged Ning Yue when she saw that he was ignoring her.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, Ning Yue opened his eyes and stared at Lu Wei.
In an instant, Lu Wei felt like she was being stared at by a hungry wolf. She could not help but take a few steps back before she could stabilize herself. Her whole body was cold as if she had fallen into an icy river!
Shaking her head with great effort, Lu Wei gritted her teeth and said, "Two thousand gold coins!"
Bang!
Ning Yue withdrew his gaze and took out a cloth bag from his robes. He threw it to Lu Wei and said coldly, "Not more, not less. Two sets of ingredients for four hundred gold coins. Look carefully and remember to pay me back later. Also, prepare ten sets of ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill."
"That will have to wait until you successfully refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill! Pauper! "Receiving the cloth bag, Lu Wei ignored Ning Yue.
For a moment, the scene was unusually quiet. Even breathing could be heard clearly.
"Sir, these are two sets of ingredients for refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill."
A moment later, a voice broke the silence. Elder Hiroshi brought the two sets of ingredients to the alchemy room.
"Many thanks." After receiving the two sets of medicinal ingredients, Ning Yue expressed his thanks. He then opened the door to the Alchemy Chamber and walked in without looking back.
"Arrogant! You'll be defeated soon enough!" Clenching her fists tightly, Lu Wei glared at Zhang Xuan angrily.
Ning Yue didn't know that Lu Wei was angry, because he was staring at the huge cauldron in front of him, a little worried.
"The Heavenly Fire Alchemy Cauldron has fallen to the peak of the Heavenly Demon, and the Demonic Lotus Flame is nowhere to be found. It seems like I can only make do with this cauldron."
Sighing softly, Ning Yue suddenly slapped his right hand on the huge alchemy furnace. Wisps of spiritual energy gushed out from his mind and flowed into the alchemy furnace through his palm.
At the same time, Ning Yue grabbed a three-leaf clover with his left hand and threw it into the furnace.
Hiss!
After about ten breaths of time, the three-leaf grass was calcined into a ball of black liquid.
"It's too slow." Frowning slightly, Ning Yue threw all the remaining medicinal ingredients into the cauldron. At the same time, he hurriedly activated the Spiritual Art, and a steady stream of spiritual energy flowed into the cauldron through his palm.
Crack crack crack!
With so many medicinal ingredients entering the cauldron, the cauldron suddenly couldn't take it anymore and let out a cracking sound.
"Damn it! Insufficient spiritual energy! "
Cursing in his heart, Ning Yue's expression changed. Because he had the Heavenly Fire Alchemy Cauldron and the Demonic Lotus Flame in his previous life, he was already used to this method of alchemy.
But now, he didn't have these two treasures with him. Furthermore, his cultivation was only at Body Tempering Stage Eight, and his spiritual energy was severely insufficient. If this continued, it was inevitable that something would go wrong.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the cauldron. Then, Ning Yue withdrew his palm from the cauldron.
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his face turned pale.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue cleared the impurities in the cauldron. He wasn't in a hurry to refine the second Marrow Cleansing Pill. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
With his current condition, unless he had sufficient spiritual energy, it would be difficult for him to escape the fate of failure when refining the second Marrow Cleansing Pill.
"That's right!"
Suddenly, Ning Yue raised his eyebrows as he thought of a special pill.
Marrow Cleansing Pill!
The so-called Marrow Cleansing Pill was a special pill recorded in the Reincarnation Dao of Alchemy. Its effects were not inferior to the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and it required a lot less medicinal ingredients than the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Of course, with so few medicinal ingredients, there was a condition to successfully refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and that was an extremely strong soul force!
Although the medicinal ingredients were few, the proportion of each ingredient could not be the slightest bit different!
It could be said that if there was even the slightest difference, the Marrow Cleansing Pill could not be successfully refined.
According to the Reincarnation Dao of Alchemy, the owner of the Marrow Cleansing Pill occasionally tried to refine it on a whim. Because his soul force was extremely strong, it was very easy to refine.
If an ordinary alchemist wanted to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, their soul force must at least reach the peak of the Xiantian Realm!
"I was a Sky Supreme in my previous life. Although the strength of my soul has not completely recovered, my soul force has already reached the requirement." Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue decided to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill!
After sitting for a while and waiting for his whole body to relax, Ning Yue then started to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Because there was only one set of medicinal ingredients, he was extra careful this time. He only needed to succeed and not fail!
Throwing the five medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill into the alchemy furnace, he slowly calcined them. The speed was not fast, and after about a quarter of an hour, they were all refined into five pure liquids.
Immediately, Ning Yue used his super strong soul force to slowly remove the excess liquid, leaving behind a corresponding proportion.
Calcined, remove, fuse …
The few complicated steps of refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill, under the support of Ning Yue's super strong soul force, did not have the slightest delay, and was completed in one go.
"The pill is done!"
An hour later, two smooth and round pills appeared on Ning Yue's palm, emitting a faint white mist.
"Phew!"
Looking at the two milky white pills in his palm, Ning Yue let out a long breath.
"I didn't expect to refine two Marrow Cleansing Pills, and they are both of the highest quality." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ning Yue revealed a happy expression.
"Elder Mo, it's been two hours. Did something happen to that kid?"
Outside the alchemy room, Lu Wei's pretty face was slightly worried.
Although she did not believe that Ning Yue could refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she did not want anything to happen to Ning Yue.
If he really died here, it would affect the reputation of Snow Domain Pavilion.
Creak!
Suddenly, Ning Yue pushed the door open, in his palm were a few unused medicinal ingredients.
"Finally willing to come out! Woah, it really failed, the ingredients were not used up. "
Looking at the ingredients in Ning Yue's hand, Lu Wei waved the cloth bag in her hand and said: "The ingredients were not used up, looks like you really had the foresight to not show your true face. Since that's the case, then these four hundred gold coins, I have no regrets."
"Also, when do you plan to give me the remaining one thousand six hundred gold coins?"
"Mister, don't be discouraged. On the path of alchemy, remember not to be greedy, you have to take it one step at a time." Beside him, Elder Mo also advised: "The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a second tier pill, the refining process is more complicated. Even a normal second tier alchemist would have some trouble refining it, not to mention you …"
Elder Mo had already taken Ning Yue as some arrogant young master who had made a bet with Lu Wei in a fit of pique.
In the capital, he had seen this kind of people many times, so it was not strange.
"That, please wait a moment." Before Elder Mo finished speaking, Ning Yue waved his hand, interrupting him. "I wonder if the pill in my hand counts as a Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
His palm was flat, and there was a milky-white pill lying flat on it. On its surface, there was a faint yellow ripple mixed within, like a spreading water ripple, looking rather strange.
Chapter 8
Elder Hiroshi's jaw dropped as he stared at the faint yellow ripples on the elixir pill. His face was filled with disbelief.
Even as a third-grade Pill Refiner, it was extremely difficult for him to refine a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill.
Elixirs were divided into four grades: inferior, intermediate, superior, and supreme grade.
Ordinary Pill Refiners would mostly refine intermediate grade elixirs. Superior grade elixirs were rare and supreme grade elixirs were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
As for supreme grade elixirs, even a peak third-grade Pill Refiner like Elder Hiroshi would rarely see one.
Pa!
"Elder Hiroshi, this really is a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill!" Elder Hiroshi's words caused Lu Wei's grip to loosen, and the cloth bag filled with gold coins fell to the ground.
Looking at the young man in front of her in astonishment, Lu Wei could never have imagined that this loser who dared not show his true face could actually refine a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill!
After observing the elixir pill in Ning Yue's hand for a while, Elder Hiroshi shook his head and said slowly, "It shouldn't be a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill."
Lu Suan patted his chest that was heaving up and down. He took a deep breath and told himself that he was scared.
Although Ning Yue had deliberately changed his voice, she could still tell that Ning Yue's real age should be younger than twenty!
If Ning Yue could really refine a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill, wouldn't he be even more amazing than Da Xia Kingdom's elixir king Dan Chenzi when he was young?
However, Elder Hiroshi's next words shocked her to the point that she froze on the spot.
"Whether in terms of color or spiritual energy, this elixir far exceeds the level of a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill. To be precise, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a supreme grade marrow cleansing pill!" Elder Hiroshi reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the elixir pill and said to Ning Yue, "From a certain perspective, this elixir pill has already surpassed the limits of a second-grade elixir pill and reached the level of a third-grade elixir pill!"
"Th-the level of a third-grade elixir pill?! Elder Hiroshi, you mean to say that he's a third-grade Pill Refiner?! "
Lu Wei was dumbfounded, feeling as though she had fallen from the clouds.
To be able to forge a grade-2 pill, doesn't that mean... that the young man before him is a grade-3 apothecary?
The person in front of him should be younger than twenty years old, right?
Grade 1 Alchemist below the age of twenty might be rare in the Tianxuan City, but there were plenty of them in the Great Xia Kingdom.
However, a second-grade alchemist below the age of twenty was a rarity even in the capital.
A Third Grade Pill Refiner under the age of twenty, she really did not dare to imagine just how abnormal it was. If this news were to spread, she was afraid that it would cause a mad scramble in the Heavenly Devil Domain!
Moreover, he was able to refine a Level Two Marrow Cleansing Pill into a Level Three Medicinal Pill. Wouldn't that mean that his future achievements would be even more awesome than Dan Chenzi's?
"First Miss, let me put it this way. Even the current me would find it difficult to refine this Superior Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill." Narrowing his eyes, Elder Mo sighed and said helplessly.
"What?! Even you would find it difficult to refine it! "
Hearing Elder Hiroshi's words, Lu Wei's expression changed drastically.
Elder Hiroshi was a Level Three Pill Refiner, and a Level Three Peak Pill Refiner at that. He was only one step away from advancing to a Level Four Pill Refiner.
"This … Mister, may I ask how old are you this year?" Looking at Ning Yue, Lu Wei even stuttered a little.
Because she wanted to confirm whether Ning Yue was actually below the age of twenty!
If he was really below the age of twenty, then … His master was at least a Level Seven Pill Refiner! Or even an Level Eight Pill Refiner!
If that was the case, his master would be of great help in that matter!
"Since you admit that this is a Marrow Cleansing Pill, then can you return the four hundred gold coins to me? Also, prepare ten batches of Marrow Cleansing Pill ingredients for me. "With a flick of his wrist, Ning Yue kept the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his robes and said indifferently.
"Hehe, of course, of course."
Thinking of the person lying in the house, Lu Wei changed her attitude and picked up the cloth bag on the ground, handing it to Ning Yue. At the same time, she smiled and said, "Mister, do you have time? If you do, I think we can have a chat. "
Hearing this, Ning Yue frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "Alright, I also have some medicinal ingredients that I need your help with."
"If that's the case, this way please." Giving Elder Hiroshi a look, Lu Wei led Ning Yue to the backyard.
"Mister, please take a seat. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Wei, how should I address you?"
Inside the study, Lu Wei said with a smile.
"You can call me Dan Yue." Finding a chair to sit on, Ning Yue cut to the chase and said, "What do you need? As long as it's within my capabilities, I think we can discuss it."
"Hehe, Mister Dan, you really do not show your true colors. You're already a Third Realm Alchemist at such a young age. This achievement, even in the capital, is unattainable." At this moment, Lu Wei finally observed Ning Yue carefully.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment because she realized that Ning Yue's cultivation level was only at Body Tempering Stage Eight!
"If that's the case, I'll be frank." After a moment of silence, Lu Wei took out a list from her robes and handed it to Ning Yue, "There's something I'd like Mister Dan to help me with. Help me refine the medicinal ingredients on this list."
"Withered Leaf Lotus, Snake Dragon Pill, Scorpion Tail …" Looking at the medicinal ingredients on the list, Ning Yue's eyes narrowed, his heart filled with shock.
Although these medicinal ingredients looked messy and did not have much of an effect when combined together, Ning Yue knew that these medicinal ingredients were the main ingredients for a Seventh Realm Medicinal Pill, the Pill of Endless Good Fortune!
Could it be that Lu Wei and her family wanted to refine the Pill of Endless Good Fortune?
The Pill of Endless Good Fortune was a divine pill that could revive the dead. Could it be that there was someone in Lu Wei's family who was severely injured?
Thinking of this, Ning Yue said calmly, "Miss Lu, I think you overestimate me. With my abilities, it will be extremely difficult for me to refine these medicinal ingredients. I hope you can find someone else."
Finishing his sentence, Ning Yue stood up and walked towards the exit.
"Hehe, of course I know that you don't have the ability to refine these medicinal ingredients. I just want to ask your master for help." Lu Wei smiled, "May I know who your master is …"
Waving his hand and interrupting Lu Wei, Ning Yue said calmly, "I'm sorry. My master has said that I can't reveal any information about him to outsiders. I can't help you in this matter even if I wanted to."
Lu Wei did not choose to give up and continued, "You can talk to your master. If he's willing to help, I will show my sincerity!"
"I will pass on this matter for you. But first, I want to know what you want." Staring into Lu Wei's eyes, Ning Yue said in a serious tone, "It can't be as simple as refining medicinal ingredients, right? With Elder Mo's abilities as a Third Realm Pill Refiner, I don't believe that he can't even refine these medicinal ingredients. "
Shaking her head, Lu Wei said, "Before I see your master, I won't say anything."
Chapter 9
In fact, Ning Yue had already guessed what they wanted to do. If he wasn't wrong, they really wanted to refine a Seventh Realm Dan, the Pill of Good Fortune!
To be more precise, they didn't have a Peak Seventh Realm Alchemist so they wanted to gather the strength of many people to refine the Pill of Good Fortune!
This method had been successful before, but the conditions for success were extremely harsh. First of all, it required a Seventh Grade Late Stage Alchemist to be the helmsman, and the Soul Strength of that Seventh Grade Late Stage Alchemist must reach the level of an Eighth Grade Alchemist!
Secondly, all the Alchemists responsible for refining the herbs had to be at least Late Sixth Realm Alchemists and their soul strength must be at least Seventh Realm.
Although the Pill of Good Fortune was only a Seventh Realm Dan, the difficulty of refining it was comparable to an Eighth Realm Dan!
Seeing Ning Yue's expression, Lu Wei shook her head helplessly. It seemed that if she wanted to get information about his Master from him, she would have to show some sincerity.
"Jin Er, you have a great responsibility on this trip. I don't expect you to find a Seventh Realm Alchemist but if you meet a Sixth Realm Alchemist, you must win him over at all costs!"
Remembering her father's words, Lu Wei gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Mister Dan, what I'm about to say is more important. Regardless of whether your Master can help or not, I only hope that you don't leak this information. Otherwise, it won't be good for anyone!"
"You're serious now!" Ning Yue's eyes narrowed and he said lightly, "Speak, I'm not a talkative person."
"Bone Jade Pill! Our Snow Pavilion wants to refine a Bone Jade Pill and we need your Master's help. " Lu Wei stared intently at Ning Yue's eyes, hoping to see something from them.
However, Ning Yue's expression was calm and without the slightest bit of surprise or exaggeration. This shocked Lu Wei a little.
"The Bone Jade Pill is a Seventh Realm Dan. I need to go back and ask my Master about this. I'll give you an answer in three days."
Slightly hesitating, Ning Yue didn't agree to Lu Wei's request right away. He wanted to delay.
After all, Lu Wei didn't tell the truth, so he didn't have to rush to answer.
"Also, can you tell me what grade of Alchemist your Master is? If you can tell me, I'm willing to do anything! "Lu Wei blinked her eyes as she stared at Ning Yue, looking very lovely.
"Let me put it this way. I don't know what grade of alchemist Master is, but I have seen the Bone Jade Pill in his study before. As for whether or not it was refined by him, I don't know."
"Also, are you really willing to do anything?" Staring into Lu Wei's eyes, Ning Yue exaggerated.
"Really! As long as your master is an Eighth … Seventh Grade Alchemist, I'm willing to do anything! " Biting her lips, Lu Wei's current appearance, coupled with the faint sadness on her face, made her look like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.
"I couldn't tell, but she's quite attractive when she's quiet." If Ning Yue didn't have the memories of his past life, he would've been defeated by now.
Waving his hand, Ning Yue said, "I don't need you to do anything for me for now. Prepare ten sets of ingredients for the Guyuan pill."
"Ten sets!"
Hearing Ning Yue's words, Lu Wei was stunned for a moment before asking in surprise, "The Guyuan pill is also a Second Grade Dan, but it's much harder to refine than the Cleansing Marrow Pill. I wonder if Mister Dan intends to refine it yourself?"
"How much does ten sets of ingredients for the Guyuan pill cost?" Waving his hand, Ning Yue asked.
"One set is five hundred gold coins, ten sets are five thousand gold coins." Lu Wei replied.
"Five thousand gold coins?" In his past life, Ning Yue didn't have much of a concept of money, because he always bartered for ingredients. Now that he heard that ten sets of ingredients cost five thousand gold coins, he couldn't help but smack his lips, feeling a little helpless.
After all, he only had four hundred gold coins on him.
Lu Wei naturally saw Ning Yue's difficulty, waving her hand and said, "Five thousand gold coins, I'll give you a twenty percent discount, four thousand gold coins in total. If Mister Dan is really short of money, you can pay me in a few days."
Ning Yue naturally wouldn't choose to buy on credit. After pondering for a moment, he took out the Cleansing Marrow Pill and said, "How about this, if it's possible, I'll use this pill to pay off the debt."
"You really want to sell this pill to us?"
Lu Wei was a little surprised. After all, the Cleansing Marrow Pill was a priceless treasure. If it was put on the auction house, with a little hype, it would definitely attract big forces to fight for it. It could easily be sold for sixty to seventy thousand gold coins.
"Well, I don't have much use for it." Ning Yue nodded. After all, the Cleansing Marrow Pill was only made by him to break through the blockage of the tendons and arteries. Although it was helpful for the practice of the Elementary Realm, compared to the Guyuan pill he was going to refine, the effect was much worse.
Moreover, he had already refined two Cleansing Marrow Pills!
"If that's the case, I won't let you suffer a loss. Wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Lu Wei carefully took the Cleansing Marrow Pill from Ning Yue's hand and left the study room.
After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Wei pushed the door open and came in.
Behind her, Elder Mo carried a big bag and put it at Ning Yue's feet.
"Here are the ingredients for ten sets of Guyuan pill and ten sets of Cleansing Marrow Pill." Pointing at the bag, Lu Wei took out a silver card. "There are seventy thousand gold coins in this platinum card. From now on, you can enjoy a twenty percent discount on all the ingredients you buy in the Snow Pavilion."
"Also, if Mr. Dan has more supreme Cleansing Marrow Pills, you can sell them to me. I promise I'll give you a good price."
Taking the platinum card, Ning Yue thanked her and left the room with the bag.
"Miss, the platinum card is your private collection. There are only ten of them in the entire Snow Pavilion. Are you going to give it to him just like that? Moreover, isn't it a little abrupt to tell him such an important thing? "After Ning Yue left, Elder Mo frowned and said.
"Elder Mo, if the platinum card can rope in a peerless genius, it's worth it!"
With a cold look in her eyes, Lu Wei said in a low voice, "Also, my mother's illness cannot be delayed."
"Who knows, maybe his master will be of great help in refining the Good Fortune Pill this time …"
…
After leaving the Snow Pavilion, Ning Yue went straight to the Crafting Pavilion. He wanted to buy an alchemy furnace.
As for the alchemy furnace, Ning Yue was not stingy. He spent ten thousand gold coins to buy an alchemy furnace of decent quality.
Originally, this alchemy furnace cost twelve thousand gold coins, but when the owner saw the platinum card in Ning Yue's hand, he reduced the price by two thousand gold coins.
A good alchemy furnace would have a higher success rate, and the quality of the pills refined would be much better.
After buying the alchemy furnace, Ning Yue did not linger on the street. Instead, he rushed back to the Ning family.
The deathmatch with Lin Feng was in three days, so Ning Yue urgently needed to improve his strength!
