The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1818: True Essence Golden Body Pill

Fang Lin was going to refine pills, but his cultivation was sealed, which had a significant impact on his pill refining. Therefore, he asked Liu Zhou, a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner, to assist him.

When he said assistance, it was really just to have him help out a bit; Fang Lin was the one mainly refining the pills himself.

“Master Fang, may I ask what kind of pill you want to refine?” Liu Zhou, standing beside Fang Lin, asked with some curiosity.

Fang Lin said, “True Essence Golden Body Pill.”

Liu Zhou was taken aback, his brows furrowed as he pondered in his heart for a while before suddenly recalling the True Essence Golden Body Pill.

“Master Fang, the True Essence Golden Body Pill you mentioned, is it not a six-grade pill?” Liu Zhou asked in some surprise.

Fang Lin nodded.

Liu Zhou took a deep breath and his gaze towards Fang Lin changed.

Though Fang Lin was the youngest talent in the history of the Pill Alliance to reach the Five Cauldrons realm, the notion of him refining a six-grade pill seemed unbelievable.

After all, once a Pill Refiner reaches the Five Cauldrons realm, it’s extremely difficult to advance further. Ninety percent of Masters of Pill will be trapped at this level for life, unable to step to a higher level until they die.

Take Liu Zhou himself as an example; he is already over four hundred years old and only became a Master of Pill a hundred years ago. In other words, Liu Zhou stepped into the Five Cauldrons realm in his three hundreds.

And Liu Zhou now doesn’t even dare to think about the Six Cauldrons realm because he knows it’s too far beyond his reach. In this lifetime, unless there is a great blessing, he will likely stop at this point.

And now Fang Lin wants to refine the six-grade True Essence Golden Body Pill. Isn’t this telling Liu Zhou that Fang Lin has already reached the Six Cauldrons realm?

Liu Zhou found it unbelievable. How old is Fang Lin now? He probably isn’t even thirty yet, is he? And he can actually refine a six-grade pill?

Even in ancient texts, it seems there weren’t many such prodigies among the ancient alchemy talents, right?

Moreover, as for those ancient records that speak of refining pills at the age of three, achieving Master of Pill status at ten, reaching Grandmaster level at twenty, and becoming transcendent and holy by thirty, Liu Zhou has always sneered, believing those are exaggerations or self-aggrandizement by the ancients.

But now, seeing Fang Lin before him, Liu Zhou suddenly felt that perhaps those astonishing words in the ancient books weren’t all exaggerated.

“Uh, this old man has never refined the True Essence Golden Body Pill, so I’m afraid I can’t help Master Fang much.” Liu Zhou said with self-awareness.

Fang Lin glanced at him, smiled, and said, “The True Essence Golden Body Pill is a six-grade pill. If Master Liu had refined it before, wouldn’t that mean you have already stepped into the Grandmaster level?”

“Master Fang jests, this old man doesn’t dare aspire to such a grandmaster level in this lifetime.” Liu Zhou said awkwardly.

“That’s not necessarily so, maybe Master Liu will indeed have a day when he can step into the Six Cauldrons realm. After all, the opportunity might come.” Fang Lin said.

Liu Zhou sighed, if there comes a day when he can step into the Six Cauldrons realm, it would indeed be a blessing from the heavens.

“Master Fang, may I ask what the purpose of refining this True Essence Golden Body Pill is?” Liu Zhou asked.

Fang Lin explained, “The deadly mist in Master Liu’s words can take away a person’s blood and flesh essence, thereby taking away a person’s vitality. I previously took a Detoxification Pill which can sustain for a while, but its effect will be consumed quickly, so I want to refine the True Essence Golden Body Pill to resist this deadly mist.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhou had a trace of worry on his face: “How does Master Fang know that the True Essence Golden Body Pill can resist the deadly mist?”

Fang Lin glanced at Liu Zhou, and the latter gave an embarrassed smile: “Sorry for making Master Fang laugh, this old man always can’t help but ask when encountering unknown matters.”

“Taking the True Essence Golden Body Pill can protect a person’s body for three days, even against the deadly mist.” Fang Lin said indifferently.

“I see.” Liu Zhou nodded slightly. As only a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner, his understanding of a six-grade True Essence Golden Body Pill was indeed limited. When Fang Lin mentioned this pill earlier, it took him a moment to recall that there indeed was such a six-grade pill, but he wasn’t sure about its specific efficacy.

All of Liu Zhou’s disciples had already left, as requested by Fang Lin, leaving only Liu Zhou present.

Regarding Liu Zhou, Fang Lin couldn’t say he trusted him. However, encountering a Master of Pill wasn’t easy, and he had to rely on Liu Zhou’s help to refine the True Essence Golden Body Pill to pass through that vast gray mist. For now, he had no choice but to seek Liu Zhou’s aid.

The two of them found a secluded place where Fang Lin detailed the pill formula for the True Essence Golden Body Pill to Liu Zhou, who earnestly memorized everything Fang Lin said.

“This pill is difficult to refine, and although I have the necessary herbs, there’s only enough for one cauldron. If this cauldron fails, then there’s nothing that can be done.” Fang Lin said to Liu Zhou.

Liu Zhou nodded repeatedly, feeling a bit excited at heart. After all, for someone at the level of Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner to have the chance to refine a six-grade pill was undoubtedly a very fortunate opportunity for Liu Zhou.

Especially to co-refine it with Fang Lin, the acknowledged alchemy prodigy of this generation, Liu Zhou naturally felt honored.

“This old man will do his utmost to assist Master Fang.” Liu Zhou said.

Fang Lin nodded and, with a pat on his waist, took out the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron from his Nine Palace Bag.

As soon as the cauldron appeared, Liu Zhou showed a look of surprise, staring straight at the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron, not caring that Fang Lin was right beside him.

“The material of this cauldron is extraordinary, but the technique of cauldron crafting is a bit inferior.” Liu Zhou said with some regret.

“Master Liu has a good eye.” Fang Lin laughed. He had obtained this Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect many years ago, and it had been with him for a long time, longer than other treasures like his ancient spear and The Ancient Lamp of Flame God.

Back then, the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect was just an alchemy force of the Qian Country. Although the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron was made of extraordinary material, as Master Liu said, the cauldron crafting technique wasn’t very good, not fully utilizing the cauldron’s material.

However, Fang Lin later transferred the cauldron qi from a broken ancient cauldron into the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron. The broken cauldron bore the mark of the Pill Saint Palace, making the Nine Treasure Luminous Cauldron an ancient cauldron with the Pill Saint Palace mark, compensating for some of the deficiencies in crafting technique.

“Ignite the fire!” Fang Lin told Liu Zhou.

Hearing this, Liu Zhou was not intimidated. After taking a deep breath, he unleashed his Soul Commanding Pill Fire.
