In the Jin Nation Academy.
Outside the Pill Pavilion.
Everyone was a little stunned, and their eyes were filled with disbelief as they stared at Ye Ping.
There were all kinds of gazes of bewilderment, shock, disbelief, and bewilderment.
They were curious and didn't know what Ye Ping meant by that.
It was one of the ironclad rules of alchemy that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation knew about. How could Ye Ping say such a thing?
In particular, Xu Chang didn't know what he had said wrong.
As the best alchemist in Jin Nation, Xu Chang's attainments in alchemy were considered rather famous even in the Ten Nations.
Although he didn't dare to claim to be flawless, at least what he said just now was definitely not wrong.
'Medicine is 30% poisonous! '
'There are no non-poisonous pills in this world. '
'What's wrong with that? ' 'Just tell me, what did I say wrong? '
After thinking about it, Elder Xu Chang really didn't know what he had done wrong. Hence, he could only look at Ye Ping with bewilderment in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Elder Xu Chang frowned and looked at Ye Ping. If it were any other disciple, he would have long been chased out.
Ye Ping was the only one who was qualified to receive such treatment.
"Elder Xu, everything in this world has a chance. You just said that medicine is 30% poisonous and there are no non-poisonous pills in this world. I don't agree with that."
Ye Ping immediately pointed out the problem.
In fact, Ye Ping didn't think of standing up to say anything when Elder Xu Chang said those words.
After all, medicine was 30% poisonous. This saying was also true.
However, Elder Xu Chang's last sentence made Ye Ping unable to help but speak up.
After all, those words were a little insulting to his Second Senior Brother. Hence, Ye Ping naturally couldn't remain silent.
However, as soon as he said that, everyone's eyes were full of astonishment and shock.
However, most of them were a little strange.
Although the group of newly matriculated disciples didn't know much about alchemy, they knew some basic knowledge.
Medicine was 30% poisonous, which referred to the conflict between medicinal herbs. Hence, medicinal herbs were originally not poisonous, but when they were fused together, there would be some toxicity.
In that case, although cultivators could rely on swallowing pills to quickly improve their cultivation level or break through the realm, if they took too many pills, they would form pill toxins in their bodies.
Not only that, but eating too many of the same pill might even weaken the efficacy of the pill.
This was also why many geniuses would not consume pills unless they had no other choice. Even if they had to consume pills, they would only consume high-grade pills.
However, Ye Ping actually said that Elder Xu Chang was wrong and that there were non-poisonous pills in this world. How could they not be shocked and bewildered?
As for Elder Xu Chang, after hearing those words, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled.
In his opinion, Ye Ping's words would reflect the difference between geniuses.
Ordinary people did not know how to think. They only knew how to listen to others and read books to gain knowledge.
Geniuses, on the other hand, were different. True geniuses knew how to think and refute because they had the heart to explore.
In an instant, Elder Xu Chang looked at Ye Ping with even more admiration in his eyes.
Very good, very good, as expected of my future disciple.
However, although he was satisfied, Elder Xu Chang decided that there were some things that he had to teach Ye Ping seriously.
For example, the matter of the non-poisonous pill.
Thinking of this, Elder Xu Chang couldn't help but speak.
"Ye Ping, you're very courageous. You can refute the question. Very good, very good."
Elder Xu Chang praised Ye Ping in front of the disciples.
However, in the next moment, Elder Xu Chang continued to speak.
"Although you have the heart to explore and have your own thoughts, there is one thing you have to understand. There can't be non-poisonous pills in this world."
"Every medicine is poisonous. The medicinal herbs themselves are not poisonous, but each medicinal herb has its advantages and disadvantages. In order to refine a pill, several medicinal herbs are needed."
"When they are matched with each other, there will be more medicinal toxins, and eventually, it will form pill toxins."
"Since the beginning of the alchemy lineage, there have been countless alchemy powerhouses who have also studied non-poisonous pills. However, for tens of thousands of years, no one has ever been able to refine a non-poisonous pill."
"Supreme-grade pills are already the limit, but they also have 10% pill toxins."
"Of course, it's impossible to say that there must be no non-poisonous pills in this world. You're right, the world is huge and there are all sorts of strange things."
"There are sages who believe that natural pills are non-poisonous pills, but such natural pills can also be called God-given pills. Such pills can only be encountered by chance and cannot be refined."
"So, what I said just now can be changed to 'no one in this world can refine non-poisonous pills.'"
"I still stand by what I said. If any alchemist says that he can refine non-poisonous pills, there is no doubt that he must be a liar."
Elder Xu Chang patiently explained to Ye Ping about non-poisonous pills.
What he meant was very simple. There must be non-poisonous pills in this world. After all, the world was huge and there were all sorts of strange things. There might even be Immortal Ascension Pills.
No one could be certain about such things. Hence, Elder Xu Chang changed his meaning.
There were non-poisonous pills, but no one could refine them. No matter how strong an alchemist was, they wouldn't be able to refine them.
His gaze was firm, and he was very sure of what he had just said.
Of course, he was also very certain about the last sentence.
At this point, Elder Xu Chang's eyes were full of confidence.
He looked at Ye Ping with a smug expression.
He didn't believe that Ye Ping could say anything else after he had said that.
In fact, at this moment, Elder Xu Chang had already thought about what expression Ye Ping would have later. He reckoned that he would first look like he had come to a sudden realization, followed by surprise and admiration, and finally, a look of conviction.
He would then bow to him and beg him to take him in as a disciple.
'Oh, no, Ye Ping is a genius after all. He might not take the initiative to beg me to be his disciple in front of everyone, but he will definitely come to me after this lesson is over. '
'Yes, very good, very good. '
At the thought of this, Elder Xu Chang looked at Ye Ping with an increasingly delighted gaze.
However, to Elder Xu Chang's disappointment, Ye Ping did not seem to have come to a sudden realization. Instead, he was still frowning.
He even seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Before Elder Xu Chang could react, Ye Ping spoke up.
"Elder Xu, I think your words are still a bit arbitrary. Non-poisonous pills can also be refined, but it depends on the alchemist."
Ye Ping initially didn't want to continue, but the main reason was that Elder Xu Chang's last sentence was somewhat sarcastic.
However, Ye Ping didn't want to directly contradict Elder Xu Chang, so he seemed a little hesitant. However, in the end, he couldn't help but speak up.
Indeed, as Ye Ping spoke, the disciples in the Pill Pavilion were at a loss for words.
It even caused some discussion.
After all, Ye Ping had repeatedly opposed Elder Xu Chang, and no matter what, it felt like he was being disrespectful.
Although Ye Ping had previously given Elder Li Jiang some pointers, the Sword Dao and alchemy Dao were two different things. The two could not be confused.
Besides, Elder Xu Chang had also explained clearly that the world was vast and there were all sorts of strange things in it.
There were definitely non-poisonous pills in this world, but no matter how strong an alchemist was, they would not be able to refine non-poisonous pills.
However, Ye Ping still retorted, which was a little disrespectful.
Indeed, in the Pill Pavilion, Elder Xu Chang was behaving strangely.
Although Ye Ping was indeed a genius and he did want to take Ye Ping in as a disciple, the problem was that Ye Ping had repeatedly disrespected him.
No matter what, Xu Chang was a little emotional.
In particular, Ye Ping's words seemed a little … sarcastic.
'What do you mean by looking at the alchemist? '
'Do you mean I can't do it? '
'Isn't that a little sarcastic? '
"Ye Ping, although you have your thoughts and can guess, the problem is that seeing is believing. Have you seen a non-poisonous pill before? Or rather, do you have a non-poisonous pill on you? "
Elder Xu Chang didn't want to suppress Ye Ping, but if he didn't say that, he wouldn't be able to admit that he was wrong.
"I don't have a non-poisonous pill on me, but … I can refine one."
Ye Ping said calmly.
However, as soon as he said that …
At this moment, all the disciples outside the Pill Pavilion were completely stunned.
Not to mention the group of disciples, even Elder Xu Chang was stunned.
Everyone's eyes were full of astonishment.
There were even many disciples who frowned and asked the others what Ye Ping had just said.
"What do you mean?"
Elder Xu Chang snapped back to his senses and looked at Ye Ping with shock in his eyes. However, he was also dumbfounded.
He didn't understand what Ye Ping meant.
"Elder, what I mean is that I can refine non-poisonous pills."
Ye Ping continued to speak without looking timid. Instead, he looked extremely calm.
"You can refine non-poisonous pills?"
In an instant, Xu Chang smiled.
He really smiled. It wasn't that he looked down on Ye Ping, but rather, the non-poisonous pill was a pill that countless alchemists in the entire world of immortal cultivation had been studying.
As the saying went, medicine was 30% poisonous. Cultivators could use elixirs to break through to the next level or increase their cultivation, but it was obviously impossible to keep taking elixirs.
There was once a person who relied on the consumption of pills to break through from the Qi Refinement realm to the Golden Core realm in just three years. Geniuses would take decades or even hundreds of years, but Ye Ping improved his cultivation level by swallowing pills.
However, after reaching the Golden Core realm, there were two huge problems. The first problem was that his cultivation level was unstable, and the second problem was that he would be plagued by pill toxins and often suffer excruciating pain. In the end, when he broke through from the early-stage to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he would suffer Qi Deviation and die without a burial place.
That was the greatest side effect of pills.
That was also the reason that true geniuses rarely used pills. Unless it was a critical moment and they didn't want to wait, they would try their best to break through on their own.
If there was a non-poisonous pill, it would be a magnificent feat for the entire world of alchemy. It would be an extremely terrifying thing for the Great Xia Dynasty, let alone the entire Jin Nation.
Think about it, if non-poisonous pills could be refined in batches, cultivators could cultivate by swallowing pills and reach the Major Perfection of the Qi Refinement realm in one year, the Major Perfection of the Foundation Establishment realm in two years, and the Golden Core realm in three years.
Victory depended on peerless cultivators, and the expansion of territories depended on middle-level cultivators such as the Foundation Establishment realm, Golden Core realm, and Nascent Soul realm.
Hence, the non-poisonous pill was something that countless alchemists in the entire world of immortal cultivation dreamed of researching.
However, it would take thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years to develop such a pill.
Yet, Ye Ping said that he could refine it.
Ye Ping was only 22 years old, and even if he learned alchemy in his mother's womb, he wouldn't be able to develop a non-poisonous pill.
Not to mention Xu Chang, the other disciples also felt that Ye Ping was exaggerating.
'No, he's not exaggerating, he's just bragging a little too much. '
Mo Xuan, Li Yue, and the others at the side also felt a little awkward.
However, even though the gazes of the crowd were a little strange, Ye Ping still looked extremely calm.
His calmness made Elder Xu Chang unable to laugh.
"Ye Ping, since you said that you can refine a non-poisonous pill, can you refine it in front of everyone?"
"Of course, if you need any medicinal herbs, I'll get someone to get them now, but I can't use medicinal herbs that are too precious."
Elder Xu Chang said with a serious expression.
He felt that Ye Ping didn't seem to be joking, but he simply didn't believe that anyone in this world could refine a non-poisonous pill.
"Elder, I don't need medicinal herbs to refine a non-poisonous pill."
Ye Ping said.
"No medicinal herbs?"
Xu Chang was stunned again.
'You don't need medicinal herbs to refine pills? Are you trying to bluff me? '
'Ye Ping, you're indeed a genius, but you can't treat everyone as fools. '
'You don't need medicinal herbs to refine pills? '
'Isn't this a fantasy? '
To be honest, Xu Chang had already prepared everything. Ye Ping asked for dozens of extremely precious medicinal herbs. After all, in Xu Chang's opinion, Ye Ping was obviously being stubborn and couldn't back down.
That was the reason.
However, he didn't expect Ye Ping to be getting more and more outrageous. He originally wanted to give Ye Ping a way out, but Ye Ping had forced himself into a dead end.
"Elder, according to the ancient records, medicine is thirty percent poisonous. In this world, all medicinal ingredients are poisonous. If you want to concoct a non-poisonous pill, you can't use medicinal ingredients. Only then will the pill be a non-poisonous pill."
Ye Ping explained what Xu Luochen had taught him back then.
Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly and helplessly.
Although it sounded very reasonable, the problem was, how could he refine pills without medicinal herbs?
Refine pills out of thin air?
"Ye Ping, your theory may be good, but the problem is … Ah, forget it. Ye Ping, it's not that I don't believe you, but there's no proof. Since you don't need any medicinal herbs, refine a non-poisonous pill and see."
"If you really refine a non-poisonous pill, I'll take back everything I said before."
Xu Chang didn't know what to say. He had already given Ye Ping a way out, but since Ye Ping insisted on going to the dead end, he had nothing else to say.
"Yes."
To everyone\'s surprise, Ye Ping agreed.
At the next moment.
Ye Ping raised his hand. He did not use any fancy Dharmic arts or move at all. He simply stretched his hand out.
Using his heart to refine pills, he condensed the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Ping's action made them feel even more awkward.
'That's it? '
They thought that Ye Ping would at least use hundreds of Dharmic arts without medicinal herbs.
However, they didn't expect Ye Ping to just raise his hand.
'This is called alchemy? '
'This can be refined too? '
'Refining pills out of thin air? '
To be honest, there were still people among the 400-odd people who believed in Ye Ping previously, such as Li Yue, Mo Xuan, and the others.
They felt that since Ye Ping dared to say that, he must be capable.
However, when they saw Ye Ping's method of alchemy, they didn't have any hope.
'Who would refine pills like that? '
'Medicinal herbs are not needed. '
'Pill furnaces are not needed. '
'Even pill fire and pill techniques are not needed. '
'Raising his hand to refine pills? '
In the eyes of all the disciples in the Pill Pavilion.
If Ye Ping could refine pills, they would stop cultivating and go home to farm.
Boom! However, at this moment …
In an instant, all the spiritual energy in the entire Jin Nation Academy surged into Ye Ping's palm.
The spiritual energy fluctuations were so great that everyone noticed it.
At this moment, Ye Ping closed his eyes as the effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill appeared in his mind.
Soon, at this moment, a white light appeared at Ye Ping's fingertips.
"This is?"
"What is this?"
"Don't disturb Senior Brother Ye Ping. Be quiet."
Someone couldn't help but yell, but he was soon stopped by the others.
At this moment, four hundred pairs of eyes were staring at the white light at Ye Ping's fingertips.
Even Elder Xu Chang couldn't help but hold his breath and stare at the white light in Ye Ping's hand.
Time passed bit by bit.
The light at Ye Ping's fingertips was getting bigger and bigger.
It gradually grew from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a longan.
The light was bright but not dazzling at all. Instead, it was gentle like the afterglow of dawn.
"What's that smell? Why does it smell so fragrant? "
"It smells so good."
"Yeah, this smell is so strong. Just a whiff is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy."
"It's a pill fragrance, it's a pill fragrance!"
"It's really a pill fragrance. How can there be such a strong pill fragrance?"
"Could this really be a pill?"
"Damn it, it can't be. How can a pill be refined from this?"
"Shut up, be quiet!"
All of a sudden, an extremely rich pill fragrance filled the entire Pill Pavilion.
The disciples in the Pill Pavilion were all surprised.
However, they soon discovered that the pill fragrance came from Ye Ping's hand. In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Even Elder Xu Chang's eyes were gradually filled with shock at this moment.
He could instantly tell that the white light in Ye Ping's hand was indeed a pill.
Besides, Elder Xu Chang knew better.
Even if it was not a non-poisonous pill, Ye Ping was already heaven-defying.
Refining pills without the help of medicinal herbs, pill furnaces, and alchemy fire was a supreme alchemy technique recorded in ancient times.
If Ye Ping could understand the supreme alchemy technique, it would be fine even if he couldn't refine a non-poisonous pill, because the supreme alchemy technique alone would allow Ye Ping to ascend to the pinnacle in the future.
However, before Xu Chang could think too much about it …
The spiritual energy condensed in the Pill Pavilion suddenly spread in all directions. At this moment, a pill surrounded by light appeared on Ye Ping's fingertips.
It was the size of a longan that was surrounded by light and emitting a strange fragrance. It was a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Elder, please inspect it."
In the next moment, Ye Ping gave the Foundation Establishment Pill to Elder Xu Chang.
All the disciples also looked at Elder Xu Chang, waiting for him to inspect it.
However, when Elder Xu Chang took the Foundation Establishment Pill …
It only took an instant.
Elder Xu Chang froze in place.
His eyes were filled with unparalleled shock.
