Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 424

Chapter 423 Alchemy Grandmaster Jiang Li

Generally, the more people within a thunder tribulation’s range, the greater its power. The same principle applies to Dan Lei.

However, Dan Lei strikes Dan, so the more Dan within the range, the greater its power.

A blanketing darkness descended, leaving the alchemists trembling with fear, afraid to breathe.

Combined with two factors, the Dan Lei’s power was immeasurable—

to the point of being unmeasurable wouldn’t be quite right.

“Not strong enough, not as powerful as the Immortal Tribulation.” Jiang Li quickly assessed the Dan Lei’s power; it wasn’t even enough to scratch an itch.

Dan Lei descended, devastating the world. Su Wei tried to stop it, but was knocked away by the Chiwu Furnace.

“Don’t you want to die? Can you surpass Zhang Konghu, no matter how strong you are? Even Zhang Konghu wouldn’t be able to withstand this Dan Lei!”

Su Wei reluctantly gave up resisting the Dan Lei.

Dan Lei was completely beyond the tolerance of a Fusion Stage cultivator.

The only reassuring thing was that Dan Lei struck only Dan, not humans.

Thunder illuminated everyone’s faces, each with its own expression, and mercilessly struck Su Wei’s Changbai Huguo Pill and the Qingtian Hualing Pill from the Chiwu Furnace.

The growth-enhancing pill, guaranteeing the safety of mother and daughter, ranked third.

No pill could withstand such a powerful pill thunder.

“It’s over, it’s all over. There’s no winner in this competition,” the alchemy elders despaired. The impromptu alchemy conference had been held in vain. The pills had turned to ash, so how could they determine the winner?

“Strike mine first.” Jiang Li patted Su Wei’s shoulder and proudly took out the Life and Death Destiny and Wealth in the Sky Pill.

Su Wei was astonished.

“Look, what’s that Jin Li doing? His pill is blocking the pill thunder!”

“How can his pill be so strong?!”

The people couldn’t believe their eyes. Pill thunder requires the alchemist to resist; pills are fragile and cannot resist on their own.

Jin Li remained silent, letting the pill withstand the thunder on its own.

“Because of its density,”

the people were speechless. Indeed, if a small mountain were squeezed into a pill, one could imagine how dense it must be.

It would probably take someone at the Tribulation Crossing stage to shatter it.

“Could it be that he anticipated the arrival of the Dan Lei and refined this elixir long ago, just for this moment?” someone speculated, finding the speculation plausible.

“Of course, this Jin Li is a formidable alchemist. He saw that Su Wei and Chiwu Lu were skilled enough to create an elixir that would attract Dan Lei, so he prepared in advance!”

“Think carefully, his previous actions were unexpected, yet somehow logical, and even allowed him to win the next match. This could all have been part of his plan!” “

Such a terrifying figure, worthy of a reclusive alchemist.”

“No, he’s not the only one. That Jian Wan named Chen Jian is also safe!”

Everyone was surprised to discover that Jian Jun’s Jian Wan had blocked the Dan Lei for Chiwu Lu’s Qingtian Hualing Pill. When the Dan Lei struck the Jian Wan, it unleashed a burst of sword energy, striking back at the Dan Lei as well.

The Dan Lei and the elixir clashed, and it seemed the elixir was superior, steadily weakening the Dan Lei.

“I’ve been refining elixirs for over a thousand years, and I’ve never seen anything like this.”

“These two hermit alchemists are truly remarkable.”

“We alchemists are too conservative; we should be more innovative.” Someone, inspired, resolved to create an elixir that defied the ancients’ ideas.

Bound by the ideas of their predecessors, it would be difficult to surpass them.

“Well said! I think the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s leader’s ideas are excellent; we should learn from them and carry them forward.”

“After the conference, I’ll go learn from the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

” “Let’s go together.”

The two hermit alchemists blocked the elixir lightning, demonstrating the concept of elixir diversity.

The third match was a sure win for these two, unquestioned.

This competition pitted elixirs against the most representative of alchemy achievement, and achieving such a feat requires the elixir to remain intact. Without these two, every single elixir present would have been reduced to ash.

This was a life-saving act.

Jiang Li won two of the three matches, taking first place and earning the title of Grand Master of Alchemy.

Su Wei and Jian Jun won one, tied for second place.

This also marked the end of the conference, with the alchemists triumphing over the furnaces in every aspect.

Sword Lord had never imagined that, having come here posing as an alchemist to learn alchemy,

he would be dubbed a Grand Master of Alchemy. He only knew how to refine Qi Gathering Pills.

“Thank goodness I used an alias,” Sword Lord rejoiced, finally understanding why the Human Emperor always liked to change names.

The one who was disgraced wasn’t “Sword Lord Chen Jiannan,” but “Chen Jian.

” “Looks like my alchemy skills aren’t bad,” Jiang Li nodded gently.

Su Wei glanced at Jiang Li and guessed his identity.

Su Wei had been the head of the Alchemy Peak when Jiang Li was still a junior cultivator. The two had known each other for centuries. Even if Jiang Li thought he had concealed his identity well, his clear and unworldly train of thought was identical to Bai Hongtu’s, so how could Su Wei not guess?

When Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were candidates for the Human Emperor, Su Wei had heard stories of their extraordinary prowess, as if they were reading a divine book.

He couldn’t understand why the competition, which was clearly conducted according to the rules, always had some twists and turns in the hands of these two. It was fine

if they were alone, but putting these two together would only bring bad luck to whoever met them.

Fortunately, only Jiang Li came to this competition.

It was obvious that the man named Chen Jian was not Bai Hongtu in disguise.

Jiang Li had no idea of Su Wei’s thoughts and left in a carefree manner, leaving behind only the legend of a hidden alchemist.

…

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and becoming famous at the Jiuzhou Alchemy Conference. Do you want to settle the mission reward?]

“Settle.”

A recipe for an elixir appeared in Jiang Li’s hands.

“Let me see what it is… Tianyang Poison Pill, a highly toxic pill, essential for the weak to defeat the strong. Taking this pill sends a person to the underworld. If they don’t return within a certain timeframe, they’ll surely die!”

Jiang Li hadn’t expected the system’s rewards to be so reliable.

“From the description, it seems to be used to poison the enemy. It doesn’t kill them directly, but rather to cause the soul to escape the body and journey to the underworld. Over time, the soul and body become separated, and true death occurs. This should be for those in the Tribulation Crossing stage. Those in the Tribulation Crossing stage can sense good and bad fortune, and only an indirect poison like this can bypass that sense and kill them.”

“Maybe I can use this to travel to the underworld.”

“As for the ingredients, we have most of them. We only need this Soul-Severing Water.”

Jiang Li didn’t expect to easily refine the elixir. Since it was called an elixir, the ingredients must be from the immortal realm. Jiuzhou was lucky to have most of them.

A small ball of black flame appeared in Jiang Li’s palm.

“The Heaven-Swallowing Flame, this is a flame refined from the devouring power of a black hole. It’s incredibly powerful, like a miniature black hole. If I were in the Nascent Soul stage, this would be a great backup for me, but unfortunately, it’s of little use to me now.”

Jiang Li sealed the Heaven-Swallowing Flame and tossed it into his storage ring to gather dust.

“As for this Xuan Huang Qi, it’s not of much use to me either.”

For those in the Spiritualization stage or even the Fusion stage, this Xuan Huang Qi is extremely rare, but Jiang Li has it in abundance.

The bronze tripod in the Human Emperor Palace, which holds the power of faith, is made from a large mass of Xuan Huang Qi.
