Before coming in, the Dark Abyss Sect’s ancestor only gave ten years!
Luo Chen paused the preparations for reverse refining a Third Order Pill, showing a look of hesitation on his face.
"If there truly were such a Pill Technique, it would be a one-ti permanent solution!"
"I have mastered various Pill Techniques, most of which have reached peak mastery and even Great Perfection. I’ve even delved into the pill techniques of both demons and devils."
"Building on this, learning from others’ strengths, accepting everything, creating a reverse refining pill technique myself doesn’t seem like just wishful thinking."
"But it’s just this issue of ti..."
Luo Chen looked at the more than seventy pills remaining, and the hesitation on his face intensified.
Suddenly!
His hesitation instantly dissipated, leaving only decisiveness.
"The Pill Saint Inheritance for amounts to no more than a few high-level pill recipes, so alchemy classics, and at most, so remnants from the Alchemy Saint."
"Compared to the inheritance of the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, it is not so important."
"On the contrary, if I can create such a formula for reverse refining, it will be a leap forward for my Dao of Alchemy!"
"This place is clearly the most suitable opportunity to create a pill technique of my own; how could I waste it?"
Hoo...
Luo Chen exhaled a long breath of turbid qi, having made up his mind.
He decided to use this sudden burst of inspiration and the suitable environnt here to try and create a pill technique of his own.
Even if it ant losing the Pill Saint Inheritance, it would be worth it!
"Let this Five Elents Pill be the first experint target!"
"The pill technique used during its refinent involves the Yunhua Seal, the Five Extres Hand, and the Dangling Star Technique. The reverse refining should also employ these techniques."
"If I reverse the technique seal and integrate it into basic alchemy art, I wonder if it would succeed?"
...
Outside the Alchemy Saint Hall.
Ye Lingtian stepped quietly along the mountain path.
He was presiding over the trial in the Alchemy Saint Hall this ti.
But he would not focus all his energy here; during spare ti, he would still cultivate in a Fourth Order Cave Mansion on the mountain.
Upon arrival, he saw Lu Chun still sitting in ditation outside the hall.
Ye Lingtian shook his head and walked forward.
"How many years has it been now?"
Lu Chun replied instinctively: "It’s the third year now."
"Three years already! I wonder what’s happening inside?" Ye Lingtian murmured, then frowned at Lu Chun, "Since you’ve already failed, why not return? Staying here serves no purpose."
Lu Chun raised his head seriously, "It does have a purpose. I have been replaying the failure of the first test continually in my mind and finally ca up with the answer. If the Alchemy Saint Hall opens again and the first trial remains the sa, I am confident I can pass!"
"Heh."
Ye Lingtian chuckled without argunt.
In this world, how many ’ifs’ can there be?
It could be this ti, soone just passes the trial and gains the Pill Saint Inheritance?
Even if everyone fails, the next opening, following the thods left by Chu Yan, will not have the sa exam.
However, Lu Chun’s talent is quite impressive, able to find the problem on his own through reflection.
If he always focused this mind on the Dao of Alchemy, rather than straying to forcefully enhance his realm, perhaps the trial’s outco would have been different.
As the two were idly chatting, a black wind suddenly swept outside the hall.
Ye Lingtian’s expression changed, and he shouted:
"Who?"
The black wind dissipated, revealing an elder dressed in a dark robe.
His hair, though grizzled, was ticulously grood.
Wrinkles lined his face, yet his complexion was rosy and full of vigor.
"Friend Ye, have you even forgotten an old man like ?"
Ye Lingtian was montarily stunned.
Beside him, Lu Chun had already stood with respect and saluted the newcor.
"Junior Lu Chun greets Mr. Xuan Yan!"
Mr. Xuan Yan chuckled heartily, waving his hand, "Friend Lu, no need for such courtesy. You are no longer that young junior; you and I are now peers."
Lu Chun shook his head, not acknowledging this claim.
Ye Lingtian realized, so it was Mr. Xuan Yan!
It’s no wonder Lu Chun, even in the sa Nascent Soul Realm, would call himself a junior.
The other party’s age was unmatched among the Nascent Soul True Masters in the Dark Abyss Sect.
With a lifeti of one thousand one hundred years, he had already reached the lifespan limit of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!
Plus, having entered the Grandmaster Realm of alchemy much earlier, it could be said that most Pill Refiners in the Dark Abyss Sect, and even the entire Eastern Wasteland, were his juniors.
Even the ascended Alchemy Saint Chu Yan!
He composed himself, "Mr. Xuan Yan, what brings you here today?"
"What for?"
Mr. Xuan Yan laughed freely, stepping towards the Alchemy Saint Hall.
"Before leaving, I wanted to see what that young girl really left behind."
The laughter still echoed in the ears, but the figure had already vanished into the clouds.
Ye Lingtian opened his mouth, his expression shifting continuously, but in the end, didn’t stop the other’s actions.
Mr. Xuan Yan had contributed imnsely to the Dark Abyss Sect, and even the rise of Alchemy Saint Chu Yan owed to him in part. Even now, though aged and clearly showing signs of "Returning Light and Reflecting," gaining the Pill Saint Inheritance wouldn’t offer much benefit to the Dark Abyss Sect. Yet with all his contributions, there was no reason to prevent him from seeing sothing left by an old friend before his death.
But this matter still needed to be reported to the three ancestors.
As he expected, the response from Yanfu Mountain was the sa.
"Let him be!"
