Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 80: Chapter 79 Blood Evil Qi Pill l

Translator: 549690339

On this beast skin, there was a record of a second-order pill called the ‘Blood Evil Qi Pill’.

According to the description, once the pill was refined and consumed, it could provide cultivators with an abundant power of Blood Evil Qi.

This power of Blood Evil Qi, distinct from the purified Spirit Power refined by cultivators, could also improve cultivation for those following the Path of Blood.

The first thing that came to Luo Chen’s mind was Xiao Wuyan, the cultivator following the Path of Blood, who was killed by Wang Yuan on the Dao Debate Platform.

“A pill of the Path of Blood?” Luo Chen’s eyelids twitched.

Wang Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Can you refine it?”

Feeling both amused and helpless, Luo Chen responded, “Brother Wang, you are overestimating me. This is a second-order pill, how could I possibly refine it? Besides!”

He paused, his expression turning serious.

“This is a pill of the Path of Demon. If I manage to refine it, I will die an ugly death. And so will you.”

Yu Ding Sword Sect was very strict towards the Path of Demon.

Or, one could say that in the entire Thirty-Six Realms of the Far East, there was no Path of Demon Sect at all.

Even for sects like the Hehuan Sect, which were both righteous and unorthodox, they had to engage in an arrangement with mutual consent and operate under the name of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion while doing so.

Just by looking at the main ingredients mentioned in the pill formula on the beast skin once, Luo Chen was shocked.

A cultivator’s essence blood, Netherworld Evil Qi, and a large amount of Purple River Carriage.

All these were unlike any resources normally used by upright cultivators, they were distinctly unorthodox and evil.

Forget about refining the pill, just collecting these main ingredients would get one killed by Yu Ding Sword Cultivator if noticed.

Wang Yuan was aware of this and fell silent.

He sighed, a look of regret flashing across his face.

“It’s a pity, if I had such a pill to assist me, I could attack Foundation Establishment Stage even without the Foundation Establishment Pill.”

“Is it that useful….wait?”

Luo Chen looked surprised, “You can reach Foundation Establishment Stage without using a Foundation Establishment Pill?”

“Who told you, that you must use Foundation Establishment Pill to establish the Foundation?” Wang Yuan counter questioned.

Luo Chen was rendered speechless.

He carefully recalled all the people and events he had encountered during his years of cultivation.

A cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root talent, will have no bottleneck breaking through Foundation Establishment stage and hence does not need a Foundation Establishment Pill.

There were dual spirit root talent cultivators, who had managed to narrowly break through the Foundation Establishment with the aid of other pills.

Not to mention, he knew someone who had attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage without the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fu Xiuxiu!

After the first group meal, Bai Meiling had mentioned Fu Xiuxiu’s experience.

There was a Dao Companion Cultivator who was previously a disciple of the Yu Ding Sword Sect, but after failing an attempt at breaking through, was demoted to the external sect and given the responsibility of managing the sect’s affairs.

Later on, he became disheartened and indulged in pleasure.

Maybe Fu Xiuxiu didn’t want to see her Dao Companion waste away, or perhaps she felt she had accumulated enough resources, and hence attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage without using Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, she failed.

Although she failed, due to her special physique, she didn’t suffer much backlash. After years of recuperation, she has restored to normal.

It was because of this, that the people of Shen Fu Pavilion highly valued her, promoting her to an overseer, and even wanted to bring her back to the sect.

Considering all this, does it mean that a Foundation Establishment Pill is not really necessary?

Wang Yuan plainly said, “I am not following the traditional path of a Qi Refiner, but focusing more on body refinement. Although I also practice Qi Refinement Techniques simultaneously, if my physique is strong enough, and the Qi and blood in my body undergo a qualitative change, I can forcefully break through the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“And this Blood Evil Qi Pill, without a doubt, is a kind of miraculous elixir that could lead to a qualitative change in my Qi and blood.”

Miraculous elixir?

The main ingredients are the lives of cultivators, even ordinary people!

The two fell silent.

Wang Yuan reached out to take back the beast skin from Luo Chen.

However, Luo Chen held on tightly to the other end of the beast skin without budging an inch.

“Huh?”

Luo Chen lifted his head and said seriously, “Brother, let me keep this pill formula for now!”

“I will try to replace some of the main ingredients and refine a pill suitable for you.”

After deeply observing Luo Chen, Wang Yuan withdrew his hand.

“Keep it with you then!”

Luo Chen wrapped up the beast skin carefully, putting it into his waist storage bag.

Before leaving, he turned back and couldn’t help but say one more thing.

“I don’t know what other good stuff you got from Xiao Wuyan, but remember, the Path of Blood isn’t accepted by Yu Ding. Body Refinement may not be suitable for longevity, but it’s still the right path. Be careful, brother!”

“Hmm.”

He responded simplistically with a hum, but it was unclear whether Wang Yuan had actually absorbed what he said.

On the way home, their group of four was reduced to just two.

Qin Liangchen went to Crescent Valley to help Murong Qinglian with some affairs of the Medicine Hall.

So, only Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi remained.

A man and a woman walked on the main road of the Outer City crowded with people.

The once mud-covered road had undergone changes, with crushed stones sprinkled on it. Gradually, it became solid as people trod on it.

This change didn’t happen overnight.

It began slowly, even before the inauguration ceremony of the Dao Debate Platform.

The Yu Ding Sword Pavilion was gradually starting to develop the Outer City area.

The better the environment, the more visiting cultivators would stay.

The more people, the more spirit stones these Great Sects could earn.

Although the Outer City now had more people, it was even safer than before.

After all, the reputation of the Yu Ding Golden Core was still powerful.

Inside the Sword Pavilion, apart from Miao Zhen, another inner sect disciple had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. They were in charge of the Dao Debate Platform business.

Walking down the bustling streets of the Outer City, Luo Chen could not help but feel amazed.

The Great River District was becoming increasingly prosperous, and the lives of the cultivators were on the rise.

Of course, this referred to mid to late-stage cultivators; life was still tough for the beginner Qi refiners.

“Luo Chen, thank you.”

“Why thank me? Though I joined the Broken Mountain Gang, the money I earn is way less than what you make in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.”

“It’s not about that, I always felt strange staying there for too long.”

Gu Caiyi’s gaze drifted away, an honest smile spread on her face.

Since resigning and spending her days at home, her daily life had become more regular, and her relationships were not as chaotic as before.

“Moreover, with you leading the Pill Hall, its future development will definitely improve.”

Luo Chen laughed, “Do you have such faith in me?”

Gu Caiyi tilted her head, gazing at Luo Chen’s handsome side profile.

“Big Brother Qin told me that you’re a partner in the Pill Hall’s business, wouldn’t you want to earn more?”

Luo Chen gave a slight smile without continuing the subject.

How much he would make from the Pill Hall was determined by Mi Shuhua of Broken Mountain Gang.

But how much this business could earn was up to him.

And in this process, he definitely wouldn’t let himself lose anything.

Have you ever seen a cook in an inn that would let himself starve?

“Let’s go home. I heard Sister Xiu Xiu is cooking tonight. She’s making a farewell dinner for us.”

Mentioning Fu Xiuxiu, Gu Caiyi paused.

As a woman, she felt Fu Xiuxiu always seemed to be on the right path. She was the Dao companion of an inheriting disciple, an executive of the Six Ascendant Sects, once strived for Foundation Establishment, and now was about to go far from home and become a member of the Shen Fu Sect.

Compared to her, she was still struggling in the small place of the Great River District.

It would be a lie not to feel bitter, but she was far from feeling jealous.

She was a woman who had endured more hardship but was more tenacious than herself.

What if she was still struggling in the Great River District?

Wasn’t the young man beside her facing everything optimistically?

She gave a soft smile, and shallow dimples appeared on her beautiful cheeks.

“Let’s buy a couple of cucumbers on the way home!”

“Cucumbers?”

“There’s a type of Spirit Fruit sold at Spirit Source Study every year at this time. It’s a cross between a fruit and a vegetable with a great texture!”

“Great! But you’re paying.”

“Stingy! Fine, I’ll buy!”
