"Mr. Yao, have you made any headway on the Ti Hu Pill I ntioned last ti?"
"Deng Taiyue, why are you so anxious? Although the Ti Hu Pill is only Fourth Order, it was known as a pseudo Fifth-Order Divine Pill in ancient tis. How could it be that easy to refine? Moreover, the pill formula you provided is missing as much as forty percent, especially the most crucial main ingredient. How can I deduce a complete formula in a short ti?"
"Mr. Yao, the Vitality Boosting Pill I require..."
"This pill is not difficult; I have already refined it. But over a hundred years, I can only supply you with ten bottles at most."
"Ten bottles?"
Hearing this answer, the person inquiring showed so disappointnt on his face.
The Vitality Boosting Pill is a Fourth Order cultivation pill that requires long-term consumption to be effective.
In a hundred years, ten bottles an one bottle every ten years, only one pill per year. How could that be effective?
Soone nearby chuckled, "The Alchemy Sect is visiting today. Daoist Zhang, why not ask him for help? I’ve heard the Alchemy Sect’s pill refinent technique is so advanced that they rarely fail. If you want a stable supply..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Yao, with a bushy white beard, snorted coldly from the side.
"Alchemy Sect’s Luo Chen is but a young fledgling, with less than three hundred years of cultivation. How can his pill refinent technique be considered profound?"
The person who made the suggestion awkwardly replied, "But the peers at Lingtian Pass speak so convincingly of him. Besides, that Jiuling Yuanjun, though only at the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, has a status comparable to a Great Cultivator, thanks also to the Alchemy Sect refining pills for him."
Mr. Yao’s face turned sowhat grim, and he said solemnly, "The Alchemy Sect may have so skill, but in my opinion, they are likely ones who cleverly seek shortcuts. The pills he refines for others are often one-off trades, rarely long-term collaborations. The Vitality Boosting Pill that Daoist Zhang requires is a cultivation pill; the most important thing is a stable supply. In my view, perhaps the Alchemy Sect can refine it, but to be stable..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Zhang hurriedly nodded.
He noticed that Mr. Yao was a little angry, and there was no need to provoke him further.
Ten bottles in a hundred years would be ten bottles. By planning the usage ti well, it could save ten years of arduous cultivation!
Seeing his approval, Mr. Yao’s expression improved significantly.
But once the conversation started, it couldn’t stop.
He stroked his beard, speaking eloquently.
"There are many pill refiners in this world, but few are at the Fourth Order. In the past, only the Alchemy Emperor was my equal. Now that the Alchemy Emperor has fallen, Daoist Bian and Hun Yuanzi have long resided in the Dark Abyss Sect without leaving. I don’t even have the chance to exchange insights on the Dao of Alchemy with others."
"I heard that a new master of the Dao of Alchemy erged in the Eastern Wasteland recently. I traveled thousands of miles with great difficulty to exchange ideas with him."
Everyone knew who the master of the Dao of Alchemy he spoke of was.
Wasn’t it the Alchemy Sect’s Luo Chen they discussed earlier?
"But after sending three visiting cards in succession, that person still avoided eting . I fear he might be famous in na only, afraid to be seen..."
Everyone suddenly realized why Mr. Yao was willing to leave the safe Seven Cave Mountain for the dangerous Lingtian Pass despite the looming threat of war.
It turned out he wished to seek advice from the Alchemy Sect!
But the other party kept avoiding him. Could it truly be as he said, that the man was a person of empty reputation?
Before Mr. Yao could finish his lant, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly paused.
A glint descended gracefully to the ground.
A tall figure was revealed, clad in a white robe with a high crown, his appearance handso and bright.
"Another unfamiliar Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator has arrived," Master Zhang murmured.
Mr. Yao nodded, not paying much heed.
Observing his realm, which was rely at the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage, although slightly stronger than his own, it was not very impressive.
Given his status as a Fourth Order Pill Refiner, not to ntion the third layer of the Nascent Soul stage, he even treated Middle Stage and Late-Stage Great Cultivators as equals.
But soon enough, he noticed sothing amiss.
"Brother Luo, I heard you left seclusion; I didn’t expect it to be true. This trip of mine has not been in vain."
Jiuling Yuanjun stepped out with a bright smile on his face.
The young man also smiled and asked with concern, "How is the injury you sustained before?"
Jiuling Yuanjun patted his left arm, "It’s well, thanks to the healing elixir you sent, which completely healed by the second year."
Another person approached, Elder Fu from the Shen Fu Sect.
The young man asked with a grin, "I heard that Daoist Ye Lan has also left seclusion?"
Elder Fu replied with satisfaction, "Indeed, though sowhat hurried, his realm has finally stabilized. The Shen Fu Sect has successors, and even if I were to leave this world now, I could do so without regrets."
"You jest, sir. During the last Dead Spirit Battle, your commanding presence in driving the Golden Armored Giant to suppress and kill the Six-winged Golden Cicada Demon Emperor was impressive. Surely, you can live another five hundred spring and autumn years."
The young man, chatting and laughing, responded to the greetings of others reaching out to him.
"Friend Xiao, it’s been five years, and you’ve beco even more beautiful!"
"Master Li, let’s discuss that matter later."
"Great Palace Master, what brings you here?"
...
The journey was lively.
It seed as if everyone had a close relationship with him!
Even those he didn’t know, upon introducing themselves, were t with nothing but humility from the young man, who made it a point to get to know them.
After Jiuling Yuanjun and his circle finished greeting him, the host of the occasion, Elder Lu, appeared with a big smile.
"Friend Luo, it has been years, and your charm surpasses the past!"
"Elder Lu, those words sound ambiguous. Soone who doesn’t know might think you missed a lot."
"Haha, co, let introduce you to so friends!"
"As I wish, dare I not co?"
"Master Hua, this is the Fourth Order Pill Refiner you’ve been yearning to et, the Alchemy Sect’s Luo Chen!"
...
"So, he is the Alchemy Sect!"
Behind the crowd, Mr. Yao clutched his bushy beard tightly.
The image of an immortal sage was instantly shattered at this mont.
