Chapter 3728 Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Pill Tribulation Arrives Again.

This time,

although the cultivators from all sides sensed the fluctuation of this aura, their hearts were not greatly disturbed.

However,

when the last heavenly tribulation dissipated, many cultivators’ eyes flickered slightly.

Success?

If it was successful, wouldn’t that mean that he had truly stepped into the ranks of the seventh-tier top alchemy grandmaster?

While the cultivators from all sides were secretly speculating, on the other side, Shen Changqing looked at the immortal pill left in his palm, on which a strong aura of thunder tribulation had not completely dissipated.

But if one looked closely, one would find that the seemingly pure and jade-like immortal pill had a crack, which was particularly conspicuous.

“Success… to be precise, it should only be more than half successful!”

Shen Changqing looked at the immortal pill in his hand, feeling a little regretful, but quickly came to terms with it.

Although this immortal pill still had flaws, it was much better than the last one.

Last time, all five immortal pills were reduced to ashes under the pill tribulation. This time, at least one survived, even though it had some flaws and differed somewhat from a true seventh-grade top-quality immortal pill.

But regardless,

surviving the pill tribulation was another step forward.

Then,

Shen Changqing put the immortal pill into his mouth. The pill melted instantly, and a surge of powerful immortal energy erupted from his body, only to subside in an instant.

Compared to the immortal energy he controlled, this energy was like pouring a ladle of water into a lake, causing only slight ripples.

Immortal pills of this level were of little significance to him.

In the following days,

Shen Changqing refined several more immortal pills, successfully surviving the pill tribulation each time, but the final product still had flaws.

However, each flaw became smaller and smaller.

After surviving the pill tribulation once again, Shen Changqing looked at the purple immortal pill in his hand, imbued with profound Daoist principles, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

It was successful!

After surviving the tribulation, the elixir remained flawless, a true seventh-grade top-tier elixir. It was

a Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill!

This was a pill specifically for restoring immortal power,

unlike the Emperor Yuan Pill,

which enhanced Immortal Emperor cultivation. The former was for recovery during battle.

Shen Changqing had refined many Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pills of other grades, but this was the first time he had successfully refined a seventh-grade top-tier one.

He popped the pill into his mouth, and an immortal power several times stronger than that of his previous flawed pills erupted from his body, instantly flooding into the Nine Directions Immortal Emperor Universe.

If flawed pills were like a ladle of water, then this flawless Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill was like a bucket.

Although the amount restored was significantly greater, its effect on him was still limited.

“Indeed, seventh-grade elixirs are not very meaningful to me. Even a seventh-grade top-tier Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill can only restore a limited amount of immortal power.

Unless I consume a large quantity at once, it won’t be very effective!”

Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly.

Every medicine has its side effects.

The same applies to elixirs.

If too many elixirs are consumed at once, toxicity will accumulate in the body, drastically reducing their effectiveness in a short period.

If this toxicity is left unchecked, it may even contaminate the foundation of one’s cultivation, hindering any progress in life.

Therefore,

cultivating with elixirs

requires moderation.

While the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill is good, for Shen Changqing at present, it actually does more harm than good.

However—

Shen Changqing’s ultimate goal is not to refine the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill.   It

‘s just that to step into the threshold of an eighth-tier Grandmaster of Alchemy, he must first reach the end of the seventh tier.

Refining the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill signifies that his alchemy cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the seventh tier. The next step   is to break through to the eighth tier.   But this path is not easy to truly traverse.   When Shen Changqing broke through to the eighth tier in weapon forging, he spent considerable time studying the inheritances of many Grandmasters of the Heavenly Forging Palace before finally succeeding.   In comparison,   in alchemy…   Shen Changqing didn’t possess many inheritances.   He only had the remaining Daoist essence within the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace.   In Shenfeng Prefecture, there were many forces renowned for their alchemy, with the Purple Sun Immortal Sect being the most prestigious.   Unfortunately,   the Purple Sun Immortal Sect was destroyed in the Great Calamity of Calamity.   Otherwise, Shen Changqing would have liked to visit the Purple Sun Immortal Sect to see if he could find a higher-level inheritance.   After all, as long as the benefits were sufficient, the Purple Sun Immortal Sect wouldn’t hold onto its inheritance so tightly.   However, now that the Purple Sun Immortal Sect was destroyed, finding a top-tier alchemy inheritance wouldn’t be so easy.   Shen Changqing believed that other forces also possessed some top-tier alchemy inheritances.   But whether these forces were willing to share them was another question.   …   Half a month later.   Shen Changqing returned to Tongtian Pavilion.   Du Changshou personally received him.   ”I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen recently made another advancement in his alchemy cultivation; I once again offer my congratulations!”   ”Manager Du, you’re too kind.”   Shen Changqing smiled faintly; he wasn’t surprised that Du Changshou knew about this.   The Tribulation of Pill Refining was immense, and many cultivators witnessed it firsthand. As a member of the Tongtian Pavilion, Du Changshou was naturally well-informed.   Moreover, Shen Changqing had no intention of concealing anything.   Some things…   there was no need to hide them.   ”I’ve come today with a matter I’d like to ask Steward Du about.”   ”Please speak freely, Fellow Daoist Shen.”   ”Steward Du should understand that the Xuantian Dao Sect is not a pill refining sect, and it possesses very few pill refining inheritances. My journey to this point has been incredibly difficult.   Now that I’ve reached this level, advancing further without the guidance of a corresponding inheritance will be even more challenging.”

“As a top merchant guild in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, does Tongtian Pavilion possess any eighth-tier Grandmaster-level alchemy inheritances?”

Shen Changqing asked solemnly.

Du Changshou’s expression became much more serious, and he shook his head, saying, “Eighth-tier Grandmasters of alchemy are rare even in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and inheritances of this level are naturally scarce.

Tongtian Pavilion might have such inheritances, but they are beyond my current level.

However, when the Ziyang Immortal Sect was destroyed, many inheritances were scattered to various places, attracting many powerful forces to compete for them. Perhaps among them is what you need, fellow Daoist.

In fact, before your arrival, Tongtian Pavilion had held several alchemy inheritance auctions, all of which originated from the Ziyang Immortal Sect.

Three million years ago, an incomplete eighth-tier inheritance also appeared.

If you really need it, fellow Daoist, I can keep an eye out for it for you, but I cannot guarantee when it will be available.” “

Furthermore—”

Du Changshou paused, then continued,

“If such a legacy truly exists, its value is extraordinary. Three million years ago, a fragmented eighth-order legacy fetched the astronomical price of ten top-grade immortal stones!”

Top-grade immortal stones!

Shen Changqing’s heart trembled.

Immortal stones of this level rarely circulate in the outside world. A fragmented eighth-order alchemy legacy being able to fetch ten top-grade immortal stones truly deserves the title of astronomical price.

If it were a complete eighth-order legacy, the price would only be higher.

You must know that top-grade immortal stones are very difficult to exchange for.   Normally, even hundreds of millions of high-grade

immortal   stones would hardly be enough to exchange for a single top-grade immortal stone.   Not to mention the innate immortal energy contained within a top-grade immortal stone, which can compensate for a cultivator’s deficient foundation, the mere wisp of immortal energy is enough to drive many Immortal Emperors mad.   After all,   a wisp of immortal energy is enough to extend one’s   lifespan by five hundred million years.   Theoretically speaking,   as long as there are enough top-grade immortal stones, even an Immortal Emperor can achieve a form of immortality.   And… Furthermore,   this kind of immortality is completely different from cultivating forbidden techniques and becoming a fallen immortal.   To put it bluntly, each top-grade immortal stone is equivalent to a weakened immortal herb for an Immortal Emperor.   But for many half-saints, top-grade immortal stones are much more precious than immortal herbs.   However,   with the support of the immortal mine in the Chaotic Star Sea, Shen Changqing has also accumulated a batch of top-grade immortal stones.   If an eighth-order inheritance really appears, then paying some price to acquire it might not be a bad thing.   These thoughts flashed through Shen Changqing’s mind, and his expression was solemn on the surface.   Seeing this,   Du Changshou said again: “However, fellow Daoist, you don’t really need to worry too much. After all, such inheritances have never had a fixed price. If   there are many who need it, then naturally the price will be high. If   there are few who need it, then the price will drop a lot.   If such an inheritance really appears, fellow Daoist may not be without the possibility of acquiring it.”   ”Thank you for your kind words, Steward Du. I will trouble you to keep a close eye on things from now on. Please inform me of any news. This is my communication jade talisman!” Shen   Changqing left behind a communication jade talisman and then drifted away.   The Ziyang Immortal Sect was destroyed.   Many inheritances were left behind.   As a top-tier merchant guild, Tongtian Pavilion would most likely choose to sell such inheritances if a cultivator wanted to sell them.   For example, an eighth-tier inheritance could be traded for top-grade immortal stones, which was enough to tempt many Immortal Emperors.   After all, for a half-saint, top-grade immortal stones could only improve cultivation, but for an Immortal Emperor, top-grade immortal stones were true life-extending treasures.   Simply put,   for an Immortal Emperor with a short lifespan, how could an eighth-tier inheritance compare to top-grade immortal stones?   If a half-saint possessed such an inheritance, it would be difficult to take it out, but if an Immortal Emperor possessed it, it would be a different story.   However,   these are all speculations.   What Shen Changqing needed to do next was simply wait.   Furthermore,   during the waiting period,   he also needed to continue refining the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill to consolidate his recently broken-through alchemy cultivation.   Alchemy cultivation, like everything else, emphasizes accumulation.   If one’s foundation at the seventh rank isn’t solid enough, even with an eighth-rank inheritance, it’s difficult to truly reach that level.   Similarly,   as long as one’s seventh-rank foundation is strong enough, even without an eighth-rank inheritance to guide them, one day they might be able to comprehend the path to the eighth rank and truly advance to become an eighth-rank alchemy grandmaster.   Therefore,   regardless of whether he possessed the corresponding inheritance, Shen Changqing wouldn’t slack off.   Besides, his cultivation in all aspects had already reached its limit; rather than wasting time, it was better to dedicate it to alchemy.   Refining more pills to restore immortal power would ensure he had a solution should any trouble arise in the future.   —   PS: Requesting monthly votes at the end of the month!!!
