Chapter 1212: Changing the Rules
As long as one could refine a Heaven Grade Pill, he would become the Pill King. It sounded like a very impressive title, but Shen Xiang knew that it was no big deal for such a Pill King to be in the Heaven Realm, because compared to those Immortal Kings, he was simply a piece of trash and could still be beaten to death by them.
Unless one can become a Pill Immortal, one will have a place in the Heaven Realm, but he is still too weak facing the Immortal King. If one can become a Pill Saint, he will be able to look down on the entire Heaven Realm and even possess power that can rival those super powerful forces in the Heaven Realm!
"Heavenly Grade Pill, this is just the beginning!"
Shen Xiang thought of the power of alchemy and his heart surged. After calming down, he began to refine the Nine Apertures Body Tempering Pill. This is a pill that can strengthen the body, but for Shen Xiang's current Heavenly Saint Body, it is not of much use. At most, it can help him get rid of physical fatigue.
Now he is in Xuanbing City, but he is hiding very secretly. Here he can let Long Xueyi monitor the master of the Fire God Temple better. As long as the master makes any movement, he must know immediately.
In three months, Shen Xiang learned how to refine the Nine Apertures Body Tempering Pill and the Five Elements Profound Origin Pill, but he did not immediately refine the Hunyuan Pill, a lower-grade heavenly pill.
Because with his current level of alchemy, refining Hunyuan Pill is far from enough. Although the upper-grade earth-level and lower-grade heaven-level seem to be only one level apart, there is a huge gap between them that is difficult to cross.
For example, if he wants to refine a top-grade earth-level pill now, he only needs to practice the tenth level of refining techniques to complete it easily, but if he wants to refine a low-grade heaven-level pill, he needs the hundredth level, or even higher.
"If I were to refine a lower-grade Heaven-level Hunyuan Pill, it would take about 120 steps and several months to refine one furnace." Su Meiyao said.
This was also the reason why Su Meiyao said before that Shen Xiang could not cross over to the Heaven Grade Pill in a short period of time, because such a huge gap would take a long time to narrow, and it would take a lot of time to improve the refining method.
Shen Xiang tried several methods to refine the Hunyuan Pill, but all were difficult to complete because his refining skills were not good enough to predict the changes in the properties of the medicinal materials. Moreover, when the medicinal materials were burned, there were too many changes that occurred, and it was difficult to make up for it based on the experience of failure. Therefore, this required many complex refining methods to predict the various possible changes, and thus deduce a correct way of change.
When Shen Xiang thought about mastering more than a hundred levels of refining methods, and predicting mistakes during refining, correcting them in time, and practicing from the moment of correction, his head began to hurt. And when condensing the pill, the correction of mistakes and frequent adjustments in refining could give him a splitting headache.
"My flame is definitely enough, even though I don't have the heavenly fire like Li Baojun." Shen Xiang thought that his flame was enough. He didn't have the heavenly fire, but the Qiankun Fire Soul was not a vegetarian. He already had the most basic conditions for refining a heavenly grade pill.
"It takes a long time to master the alchemy method, otherwise those Immortal Kings would not be so old, otherwise Alchemy Immortals and Alchemy Saints would not be so rare. You can master the Earth-level top-grade elixir in such a short time. This is not easy. You can be regarded as an alchemy genius in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths over the years." Su Meiyao comforted Shen Xiang. She was also an alchemist and knew the way of alchemy very well. She had also come step by step over the years.
"According to what you said, wouldn't it take me two to three thousand years to refine a lower-grade Heaven-level pill?" Shen Xiang clenched his fists: "The pill you and Sister Youyou need is a Saint-level pill. If I want to refine it, wouldn't it take even longer? How can you and Sister Youyou wait that long?"
"We are very happy that you are thinking of us! It may take a little longer, but you are my hope. We have full confidence in you. The longer it takes, the better!" Bai Youyou's voice became gentle. This encouragement gave Shen Xiang great strength.
"No, I must hurry up and let you see the sky again, step on this land again, and stand on the top of the strong again. I can achieve what I have now because I met you. Letting you see the light of day again is my goal all along."
Thinking that these two women would have to stay in the Youyao Ring for a long time, Shen Xiang's heart ached inexplicably. If it was not absolutely necessary, no one would stay in that virtual space, being with flowers and plants all day long. How lonely that would be. Who wouldn't want to travel proudly in the vast universe?
For these two once powerful people, this was a very cruel thing, just like a bird with broken wings or a fish unable to swim in the water.
Su Meiyao said quietly, "There is no other way. This is the rule of alchemy. When we placed our hopes on you, we were prepared for this. We can afford to wait, and you have never let us down."
Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou could both deeply feel the strong emotions that Shen Xiang was feeling at this moment, but this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, it needed to be done step by step, and required countless hours to accumulate.
"As long as it is a rule, it was originally made by people. Rules are meant to be broken. I feel that along the way, I have broken many rules and established my own rules!"
Shen Xiang took a deep breath, thinking back on his experiences, and suddenly a sense of pride surged in his heart.
"Heavenly Refining Technique, let me see your true strength!"
Many profound methods in the Art of Heavenly Alchemy emerged in Shen Xiang's mind. He looked at this profound method of alchemy very eagerly and tried his best to understand it, because the Art of Heavenly Alchemy was a heavenly book. He understood all the words in it, but when they were put together into a sentence, it became extremely profound.
Seeing Shen Xiang become so serious and his attitude was so resolute, Su Meiyao felt very relieved. Bai Youyou sighed slightly. Don't they also want to see the light of day again?
Shen Xiang sat there and tried to understand the Heaven Refining Technique. The previous Great Ten Thousand Refining Technique and Earth Devouring Technique were relatively easy, and there were also annotations by the Ten Heavenly Emperors, but many of the later ones were missing, and the Ten Heavenly Emperors could not understand some of the profound methods.
He remained in this state for several months, and the outside world believed that he had been sealed for ten years. During these days, he did not return to Jianglongmen or go to the Kingdom of Divine Soldiers, causing Xue Xianxian and Li Baojun to be very worried about him, thinking that he was missing again. This was also the time when the Fire God Temple was most likely to attack Chenwu Continent.
"So that's how it is. I finally figured it out. I can try this method to see if it works!" Shen Xiang, who had been sitting still, suddenly blinked his eyes, his face full of excitement.
"What method?" Long Xueyi asked hurriedly. She had called Shen Xiang many times in these days, but Shen Xiang did not answer her. This showed how seriously he studied the Tianlian technique.
Shen Xiang smiled slightly: "The Divine Alchemy Method, this may allow me to say goodbye to the Alchemy Method of the Acting Alchemy Method from now on!"
