"Older brother, how's the taste of my wine?"
Jiang Chen asked with a smile on his face.
What? How's the taste? Damn it, this is the Energy Spring Water! Is the Energy Spring Water supposed to be tasted? Is he really drinking the Energy Spring Water like it's wine?
"You're doing this on purpose! Buddy, you're definitely trying to piss me off!"
Guo Shan really wanted to kick Jiang Chen's face with the sole of his shoe.
"Older brother, what are you talking about? I was kind enough to treat you to a drink, but not only are you not grateful, you even said that I'm trying to piss you off! Come, since older brother doesn't like our wine, Da Huang, Xiao Yu, let's drink together, let him drink his own!"
Jiang Chen raised the jade bottle and poured a cup for Da Huang Dog and Yan Chen Yu. He just ignored Guo Shan.
"Fuck!"
Guo Shan couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately snatched the jade bottle from Jiang Chen's hand and poured a cup for himself.
But too bad, although Guo Shan was a Divine Core warrior, when compared to Jiang Chen, Da Huang Dog, and Yan Chen Yu, there was a huge gap between them. After drinking three cups of Energy Spring Water, Guo Shan couldn't take it anymore. The energy in the Energy Spring Water was too strong, and the skill he cultivated wasn't a high level one. There was no way he could absorb all of it in a short period of time. Besides, Guo Shan's physique was just an ordinary physique, he couldn't compare with the other three.
"We can't drink anymore! The way you guys are drinking is just a waste! Brother, do you know that a single drop of this Energy Spring Water is worth tens of thousands of gold coins in the outside world? Why are we drinking it in cups here?"
Guo Shan had an impulse to slap his own face. This was too wasteful, it was a reckless waste of precious resources. When he saw Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog drinking the Energy Spring Water cup after cup, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. At the same time, he felt a strong sense of failure. No matter what, he was a Divine Core warrior, but compared to these three freaks in front of him, he felt ashamed.
"Brother, where did you get so much spiritual spring water?"
Guo Shan asked curiously. The three cups of Energy Spring Water he drank today had given him a lot of benefits. He was now at the peak of the Early Divine Core realm, and he was just one step away from the Mid Divine Core realm. With the help of the three cups of Energy Spring Water, he would be able to break through to the Mid Divine Core realm within a month, or even less.
"When I went to the Wanyao Mountain this time, I obtained it by chance. I know that this spiritual spring water is useful to you, so I specially prepared a bottle for you."
As Jiang Chen said this, he took out a jade bottle from his cosmos ring and handed it to Guo Shan.
Guo Shan's eyes immediately lit up. A bottle of Energy Spring Water, this was a priceless treasure! What Jiang Chen said was right, this Energy Spring Water was a great help to Guo Shan. Not only did it have great benefits, it could also help him concoct pills. When concocting a pill, if he could add some Energy Spring Water into the pill, the quality of the pill and its healing effects would be greatly improved. This was something that was hard to come by.
"Brother, this Energy Spring Water is too precious. I've already drunk three cups of it, how can I accept this bottle?"
Guo Shan said. This gift was too precious. Although he said that, he didn't even blink his eyes as he stared at the jade bottle. He rubbed his palms together, as if he couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a laugh and said, "Since I'm too embarrassed to accept it, Da Huang, let's drink it together."
Hearing this, Guo Shan's reaction was extremely fast. Without anyone seeing how he moved, the jade bottle on the table disappeared. Guo Shan raised his head and stared at Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog, "You two animals, don't let daddy see you drink any Energy Spring Water in the future, you black sheep!"
"Old man, look, we've drunk some wine, and our relationship has been established. Since we're friends, why don't you take out a few dozen herbs from your herb garden and let me have a taste?"
Da Huang Dog looked at Guo Shan and said shamelessly. This dog was still holding a grudge against the herbs in his herb garden.
"Get lost, you stupid dog! If you dare to take my herbs again, I'll skin you alive!"
Guo Shan scolded.
Da Huang Dog stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say another word. This fat old man didn't look like someone to be trifled with.
"Brother, let's talk business. I'm here today to look for a few herbs."
Jiang Chen said with a serious face.
"I knew you'd have some ideas, no wonder you're so kind as to give me the Energy Spring Water. Tell me, what kind of herbs do you want? As long as I have it on this mountain, I won't be stingy."
Guo Shan said in a generous manner.
"Then I won't be polite."
Jiang Chen said, "I want five herbs, Golden Ganoderma, Black Yellow Wood, Water Lotus, Flaming Grass, and Yellow Sand."
Jiang Chen listed out the names of five herbs in a row. They were the herbs he needed to concoct a pill that could strengthen one's foundation.
Guo Shan who had a relaxed expression suddenly became serious, "Golden Ganoderma, Black Yellow Wood, Water Lotus, Flaming Grass, Yellow Sand, these are the herbs of five elements. Brother, are you trying to concoct the Five Elemental Pill?"
"That's right, I'm trying to concoct the Five Elemental Pill. The Five Elemental Pill is a pill that can strengthen one's foundation. Not only can it strengthen the five internal organs, it can also strengthen one's foundation. Before I break through to the Heavenly Core realm, I need the Five Elemental Pill to strengthen my foundation."
Jiang Chen said.
"The five internal organs of a human correspond to the five elements. Therefore, the Five Elemental Pill is an extremely rare pill, and because it's rare, it means it's difficult to concoct. The five elements restrict each other, and it's extremely difficult to fuse five herbs with different elements together to concoct the Five Elemental Pill. Any ordinary alchemist would have a hard time concocting the Five Elemental Pill. I've been studying alchemy for dozens of years, but I still don't have the courage to concoct the Five Elemental Pill."
Guo Shan said in a serious tone. The Five Elemental Pill was different from the other pills that could strengthen one's foundation. It was an extremely rare pill, and ordinary alchemists couldn't concoct it. Even Guo Shan himself couldn't concoct the Five Elemental Pill.
"Older brother, you just need to prepare the herbs for me. As for concocting the Five Elemental Pill, I'll do it myself."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"What? You want to concoct the Five Elemental Pill? "
Guo Shan looked at Jiang Chen with a shocked expression, "Younger brother, even the worst Five Elemental Pill is an Earth level pill. With my current abilities, I can only concoct a Low-Rank Earth level pill. Although you have a strong combat strength, you haven't even reached the Heavenly Core realm. Don't you think it's a bit unrealistic for you to concoct the Five Elemental Pill?"
Guo Shan couldn't help but be shocked. He had no doubts about Jiang Chen's alchemy skills. He had witnessed Jiang Chen's talent in alchemy last time. But, alchemy was closely related to one's cultivation level. Concocting an Earth level Five Elemental Pill when he was only a Late Mortal Core warrior was just too childish.
"Older brother, I'm not joking. You should have these five herbs, right?"
Jiang Chen said with a serious expression. Although these five herbs were precious, they weren't that rare. The Black Sect was one of the biggest sects in the Qi Province, and Guo Shan was the number one alchemist in the Black Sect. If he couldn't even provide these five herbs, then he would be too weak.
"I do. Younger brother, can I be there when you are concocting the Five Elemental Pill?"
Guo Shan asked. He really wanted to see if Jiang Chen could really concoct the Five Elemental Pill. He had always been curious about Jiang Chen's alchemy skills.
"No problem, I'll concoct it here."
Jiang Chen nodded his head with a smile on his face. Concocting a pill was a very simple task for him. Concocting the Five Elemental Pill was very difficult, and ordinary alchemists couldn't control the restraints between the five elements. But for Jiang Chen, it was a piece of cake.
"Alright."
Guo Shan turned around and walked towards the herb garden. He picked the Golden Ganoderma, Water Lotus, and Loess Sand, then returned to his own courtyard. Not long after that, he came out with all five kinds of herbs and placed them on the table.
"Younger brother, these five herbs have a certain age, they are enough to concoct a Low-Rank Earth level Five Elemental Pill."
Guo Shan said.
"Alright, thank you, older brother."
Jiang Chen cupped his fist towards Guo Shan. This was the benefit of being friends with Guo Shan. If not, he would have to spend a lot of effort to find these five herbs to concoct the Five Elemental Pill.
"Older brother, I'm going to start concocting the pill. Watch carefully, it might be helpful to you."
After saying that, Jiang Chen waved his hand, and the five herbs on the table flew up by themselves. At the same time, a powerful soul energy rushed out from his body like a tidal wave. Sensing the soul energy, Guo Shan's expression changed.
"He's only a Late Mortal Core warrior, but his soul energy is so strong. It's at least at the Late Heavenly Core realm, this is really frightening."
Guo Shan was shocked, but this was just the beginning.
Two balls of flame shot out from Jiang Chen's palms at the same time, instantly turning into a sea of flames. Under Jiang Chen's control, all five herbs were thrown into the sea of flames.
Seeing this, Guo Shan was shocked. All five elemental herbs had different elemental attributes, and it was very difficult to fuse them together. However, Jiang Chen was trying to fuse all five of them at the same time. This was unbelievable, and it required an alchemist to have a high level of control. If he wasn't careful, all five herbs would turn into ashes in an instant.
"Older brother, although the five elemental herbs are supposed to counter each other, they also support each other. As long as you can find the turning point, concocting the Five Elemental Pill isn't difficult at all. Refining all five herbs at the same time is much easier than refining them one by one."
Jiang Chen said.
Guo Shan was even more shocked. Pill concocting was a process that required a high level of concentration, but Jiang Chen was able to chat with Guo Shan while he was concocting the pill. Most importantly, he was able to keep the herbs in a stable state without any signs of agitation. If Guo Shan hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
Besides, what Jiang Chen said had once again enlightened Guo Shan. Everyone knew that the five elemental herbs supported and countered each other, but they didn't know what it meant. Jiang Chen had used his actions to tell Guo Shan that it was actually easier to refine all five herbs at the same time than to refine them individually. This was a mistake many alchemists made, and it was the reason why concocting the Five Elemental Pill was so difficult.
Guo Shan held his breath and stared at Jiang Chen's hands without blinking his eyes. All he saw was Jiang Chen forming some mysterious hand seals. Under the burning of the flames, the five herbs were being refined at an incredible speed. The five herbs were rolling around in the sea of flames, and under Jiang Chen's precise control, there was no sign of agitation caused by the different elemental herbs.
