Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 422
Chapter 421 The Pill That Best Represents Alchemy Achievement
. To Jiang Li’s regret, this opportunistic method didn’t fool the sharp eyes of the alchemy elders; they immediately saw through his cheating.
After reviewing the opinions of all parties, the Sixth Prince announced, “Second round, Su Wei wins.”
“It can’t be considered opportunistic, I spent a lot of spirit stones.” Jiang Li felt the spirit stones were a waste.
The Sword Lord nodded, “Indeed, it’s not opportunistic, it’s more like stealing a chicken and losing the rice.”
“Sword Lord, has anyone ever said you’re too blunt?”
“Yes, but when they saw me draw my sword, they changed their tune and said I was blunt.”
“…Why don’t you return to the Sword Tomb and fight your inner demons? Just pretend I never saved you.”
“The third round will test the alchemist’s ability to freely express himself. Here are over 90% of the spiritual herbs in the Nine Provinces. You can use them freely without purchasing spirit stones. The Spiritual Medicine Sect will cover everything.”
Jiang Li saw the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s leader’s face twitch, clearly distressed.
The Sixth Prince continued, “Master alchemists, please create an elixir that best represents your achievements in alchemy. If the ingredients required are not available from the Spiritual Medicine Sect, please find them on your own.”
The question of creating an elixir that represents your achievements was enough to give the alchemists present pause for thought.
Jiang Li and Jian Jun were the exceptions. An
elixir that represented true alchemy was undoubtedly difficult to create, and it was beyond the reach of two improvisers like them.
The Sixth Prince glanced at Jiang Li and added, “It must be created on site.”
Jiang Li gave up the idea of producing the Nine-Transformation Immortal Pill and asked, “Can we hire someone to create it on site?”
“No.”
Jiang Li felt the alchemists were too rigid and inflexible.
“Never mind. This time, I’ll win fairly. As a Mahayana cultivator, creating an elixir shouldn’t be difficult.”
Soon, an alchemist had decided on the desired elixir and set off to prepare, scouring the Spiritual Medicine Sect for its lifeblood.
“Let us interview you. Master, may I ask what kind of elixir do you want to refine?”
The alchemy master being interviewed kept working and replied, “Jiuzhou has a history of tens of millions of years, and the history of the fairy world is even longer. In this process, countless precious elixirs have appeared briefly and then suddenly disappeared. The fundamental reason is that the raw materials are too precious, and the speed of picking far exceeds the growth speed. They will soon become extinct. Without the main medicine, the elixir is also lost.”
“I think the elixir that best represents the achievement of alchemy uses the most common spiritual medicine. It has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and will continue to be passed down.”
“So Master, what you want to refine is…”
“Human elixir, using human as raw material, to refine elixirs that increase cultivation.”
As soon as the words fell, a group of watching combined monks pounced on them, captured the alchemist in a few seconds, and wanted to take him to the Human Emperor Palace.
“How dare a demonic cultivator be so arrogant, openly claiming to refine a human elixir?”
The alchemist quickly defended himself, “No, listen to me. The human elixir I’m talking about is made from my own blood and won’t harm anyone. Look at me, there’s no evil aura about me. I’m not a demonic cultivator.”
With this, the crowd realized the alchemist didn’t possess the characteristics of a demonic cultivator and released him.
The Sixth Prince, noticing the awkward atmosphere, sought the next alchemist to divert everyone’s attention.
“Master, what elixir would you like to refine?”
“An elixir needed by all living beings.”
“What is it?”
“Yin Yang He Huan Pill.”
“…” The Sixth Prince thought he had misheard.
“Sixth Prince, think about it, cultivators cannot live forever, and reproduction is the way to survive. Any creature, no matter how powerful, cannot do without reproduction.”
“The humanistic care hidden behind the Yin-Yang Hehuan Pill is enough to prove that it is the highest achievement of alchemy!”
The Sixth Prince asked, “Can any cultivator not do without reproduction?”
“Of course.”
“But as far as I know, Emperor Jiang Ren has never been in love, let alone getting married, so how can he reproduce?”
The alchemist waved his hand: “Doesn’t this reflect the efficacy of my Yin-Yang Hehuan Pill? Even if Emperor Jiang Ren eats my Yin-Yang Hehuan Pill, he will have the desire to reproduce.”
“Really?” The Sixth Prince was suspicious.
“I hope it’s true.”
“…”
“Master Chen Jian, what kind of elixir are you refining?”
“Sword Pill.”
“What?”
“Whether it’s to increase your cultivation or heal wounds, the purpose of taking elixirs is to protect yourself. In that case, why not be direct and use the elixir in battle?”
“This sword pill I’ve refined will at least severely injure a Fusion Stage cultivator. If the enemy is injured, won’t I be safe? There’s no need to take the elixir.”
The Sixth Prince found it difficult to follow the Sword Master’s train of thought.
“Master Jin Li, what kind of elixir are you refining?” The Sixth Prince approached Jiang Li, who had left the deepest impression on the Sixth Prince.
“A homemade elixir,” Jiang Li said calmly, the air of a detached master.
“The Spiritual Medicine Sect provided 180,000 spiritual herbs. I took one of each and blended them together.”
Jiang Li produced a jet-black elixir.
“This elixir uses 180,000 spiritual herbs?” The Sixth Prince couldn’t believe it. What a masterful alchemy technique!
He truly was an alchemy master!
“Excuse me, what method did you use to refine this pill? Did you use a special flame or a special technique?” The Sixth Prince was busy asking others and didn’t see how Jiang Li did it.
“Let me show you again.” Jiang Li gathered the spiritual herbs again, piling them up like a hill. Then he stretched out two invisible hands, squeezed the mountain of spiritual herbs, and forcibly pressed it into a pill. Bang
!
The pill fell to the ground like a piece of iron.
The Sixth Prince was dumbfounded. In his entire life, he had never seen anyone refine an elixir this way.
What about the process of extracting the medicinal properties, separating the impurities?
Today was truly an eye-opener for him. Others used flames and furnaces to refine elixirs, but this one used brute force.
“My pill has no flaws, except that it’s a little hard.” Jiang Li handed it to the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince discovered that even with his Spiritual Transformation stage cultivation, he couldn’t even move the pill.
Is this for human consumption? Even if he swallowed it directly, his stomach wouldn’t be able to digest it.
“This pill of mine uses over 90% of the spiritual herbs in the Nine Provinces. It’s truly the culmination of alchemy, the undisputed pinnacle of achievement.”
“Then what are its effects?” Elixirs are based on the principle of mutual promotion and mutual restraint. Many of the ingredients just used were highly toxic and should be used with caution. But Jiang Li, on the other hand, had simply packed them all into one pill.
It was hard to say whether it was an elixir or poison.
Jiang Li explained, “This elixir is called the Life and Death Pill, which means that if you take it, you might see a huge increase in your power, breaking through several realms, or you might die. Everything is unknown.”
“Sixth Prince, would you like to try it?” Jiang Li enthusiastically promoted it.
The Sixth Prince shook his head vigorously, fearing that if he shook it too slowly, Jiang Li would misunderstand him.
