16 Chapter 16: King Grade Spirit Pill_1

Translator: 549690339

The Seventh Elder’s eyes widened in disbelief, “The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod!”

Among the many elders, he had seen the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod the most times.

Whenever he had nothing to do, he would go to the seventh secret land to observe the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, trying to communicate with it; he had lost count of his attempts.

But without a doubt, the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod had never responded to him.

Yet the junior granduncle had taken a walk around and actually managed to get his hands on this tripod!

An elder patted the Seventh Elder’s shoulder, “Stop looking, if it hadn’t been for the Black and White Elders suppressing the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, it would have flown out to find the junior granduncle by itself!”

The Seventh Elder’s heart felt as if it was being fiercely pinched, and he gave that elder a resentful glance, “Can you not stab people in the heart with your words?”

“Cough cough, the junior granduncle has started!”

Li Cheng took out ten portions of medicinal ingredients and threw them all into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.

This scene astonished the crowd.

To refine ten portions at once?

Most people present were not pill masters, but they knew that the requirements for making pills were extremely strict. The proportion of each ingredient, their extraction, and fusion cannot be careless in the slightest; a minor mistake and all previous efforts could go to waste.

Could he really control the process with ten portions of ingredients thrown in at once?

The gazes of the people shifted towards the Seventh Elder, filled with questions—they could not disturb Li Cheng now, and the Seventh Elder was the one who understood Alchemy Dao the best.

The Seventh Elder’s eyes sparkled as if he didn’t notice the questioning looks, muttering to himself, “Refining multiple spirit pills at the same time requires strong True Fire and Spiritual Sense to support it because of the large quantity, which makes it difficult to ensure that the extracted spirit medicine essence is at the proper fusion point!”

Muttering to himself, joy appeared on the Seventh Elder’s face, “I see now, in addition to his powerful True Fire, the junior granduncle’s Spiritual Sense must also be exceptionally strong!”

Hearing the Seventh Elder’s mumbling, Sect Master Mu Xingzhi’s expression changed, and he asked hastily, “Seventh Elder, when you say the junior granduncle’s Spiritual Sense is extremely strong, how strong exactly do you mean?”

The Seventh Elder, without shifting his gaze from Li Cheng, who was refining pills, said, “If he can successfully refine all ten Spirit Transforming Dans at the same time, then it means at least his Spiritual Sense is comparable to that of a Second Tribulation Loose Immortal!”

“At least? Can’t you be more precise?” Mu Xingzhi furrowed his brows.

“The junior granduncle’s speed in pill refining is extraordinarily fast, we cannot measure him by the standards of a regular pill master, so I cannot be sure; he might even be comparable to a Fifth or Sixth Tribulation Loose Immortal,” the Seventh Elder said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xingzhi wore a strange expression. With such a powerful Spiritual Sense, could the junior granduncle have heard his own transmitted message?

If he had heard it, how awkward would that be?

However, on the few occasions he had sent messages while near the junior granduncle, the latter always looked normal—probably he hadn’t heard them?

Mu Xingzhi had never worried about this before, but now he was filled with anxiety; after all, if his messages had been overheard, he would really need to find a crack to crawl into.

He needed to confirm it somehow!

While pondering over this, Mu Xingzhi quickly wrote a note and passed it to the First Elder.

The First Elder, full of confusion, took the note, glanced it over, and then with his True Fire gushing out from his palm, he destroyed the note before giving Mu Xingzhi a suspicious look.

What was the Sect Master up to?

By this time, Li Cheng had reached the step of pill condensation. Over a hundred Spirit Transforming Dans about to solidify were rolling inside the Tripod, and the moment they stabilized, the pill formation was complete!

As these hundred-plus Spirit Transforming Dans flew out, everyone was amazed to find that these pills were, like stars surrounding the moon, guarding something.

Li Cheng also watched the pills intently and saw that at the center, one pill seemed to be wrapped in gold threads and emitted fluctuations far surpassing the other pills!

Curiously, he grabbed the floating Spirit Transforming Dan from the air and scrutinized it closely.

This Spirit Transforming Dan was lustrous, and within it, pale golden Pill Patterns had formed, looking both mysterious and beautiful.

“Pill Patterns! These are the Pill Patterns mentioned in the classics!” exclaimed the Seventh Elder.

“Seventh Elder, when you mention Pill Patterns, are you referring to King Grade spirit pills?” an elder asked curiously.

The Seventh Elder’s expression was one of excitement, and he nodded vigorously, “That’s right, the quality of pills can be divided into lower, middle, upper, and supreme grades, but little do people know, above the supreme grade there actually exists the King Grade!”

“And the unique symbol of a King Grade is the Pill Patterns!”

“I have practiced alchemy for hundreds of years and have never seen a King Grade Spirit Pill. Today, I owe it to the little grand-uncle!”

Li Cheng glanced at the Seventh Elder, saw his eager expression, and decided to hand over the Spirit Pill for his inspection, then began to ponder quietly.

Based on his own speed, he should be able to refine two batches in one minute, but it took him just about two minutes to refine ten batches all at once.

So, what about one hundred batches at once?

From the situation just now, refining one hundred Spirit Transforming Dans at once would also be quite easy.

“Sect Master, the little grand-uncle is so amazing, the little grand-uncle is so amazing…”

Suddenly, Li Cheng heard the First Elder’s voice transmission, incessantly repeating ‘the little grand-uncle is so amazing’, dozens of times without stopping.

Li Cheng was stunned and looked at the First Elder with suspicion—what was going on?

Had the First Elder gotten stuck?

Turned into a parrot?

The look in Li Cheng’s eyes and his expression made Mu Xingzhi’s face instantly turn unnatural!

This is bad!

His own cultivation and Spiritual Sense were on par with the First Elder’s. If the little grand-uncle had obviously heard the First Elder’s voice transmission, then his own likewise couldn’t have been concealed from the little grand-uncle!

Earlier, when passing a note to the First Elder, it was to have the First Elder find an opportunity to praise the little grand-uncle one hundred times through voice transmission!

Sure enough, such behavior had caught the little grand-uncle’s attention.

This meant that with their level of cultivation and strength of Spiritual Sense, voice transmission in front of Li Cheng was no different than whispering into his ear.

In the distance, the Black and White Elders, who were concealing their forms, had an extremely brilliant expression on their faces, staring unblinkingly at the more than a hundred Spirit Transforming Dans floating in front of everyone.

“Mu Xingzhi wasn’t lying; this kid’s Pill Skill… is too heaven-defying, isn’t it?” exclaimed Old Hei, surprised.

“Tsk tsk… Senior Brother Wuya has taken such a monstrous disciple, I’m jealous!” Old Bai clicked his tongue incessantly.

“With his alchemy speed, he won’t delay ascending, but it would be a pity not to pass down such heaven-defying Pill Skill.”

“Indeed, let’s ask Mu Xingzhi later on,” they said.

While the Black and White Elders discussed, Li Cheng had already started refining pills again.

This time, he directly tossed in materials for one hundred Spirit Transforming Dans!

The people watching felt their eyelids twitch; if he succeeded, the little grand-uncle would simply be a Spirit Pill production machine!

With one hundred batches of materials, according to Li Cheng’s standard, at the very least, he would be able to refine one thousand Spirit Transforming Dans, and the time spent would certainly be very short!

Isn’t that just a production machine?

The most critical question was, he had just refined King Grade Spirit Transforming Dans from ten batches; now with one hundred batches, might there appear an even higher quality Spirit Transforming Dan?

Everyone thought of this possibility and unanimously turned to look at the Seventh Elder, “Above King Grade, isn’t there a higher quality? I heard that the top quality can trigger a Pill Tribulation!”

The Seventh Elder rolled his eyes, “Pill Tribulation is only a myth; I have scoured the records, finding that the tale of Pill Tribulation comes from a hundred thousand years ago. Yet, in the past hundred thousand years, the highest quality that has emerged is merely King Grade.”

“However, I always believe that there has to be some truth behind legends, it’s just that it hasn’t appeared for so long, so it’s become a legend!”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the First Elder said, “Your words are reasonable, is it possible that a quality above King Grade could trigger the Pill Tribulation?”

“Can’t say for sure. The records say that above King Grade is Emperor Grade, and then Emperor Grade, but none have appeared for over a hundred thousand years, so who knows?”

Although the Seventh Elder spoke thus, his eyes shimmered with anticipation.
