"A contest between two Pill Grandmasters is a rare sight. We're in for a treat today." As the owner of the Eastern Sun Pill Store, Pill Grandmaster Chen Mo's face was flushed with excitement. He had never been able to cross the threshold between Pill Grandmasters and Pill Grandmasters. A contest between Pill Grandmasters was even rarer than a battle between Grand Cultivators. Witnessing a battle between Alchemy Grandmasters, the benefits to him as an Alchemy Grandmaster were self-evident.
"Grandmaster Chen is right. A contest between Pill Grandmasters is something that can only be encountered by chance. We've hit the jackpot today." Xiang Nanming was no ordinary person. Although he had just been reprimanded by Master Kuang Yang, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he laughed heartily. Only those familiar with him could see the anger and uneasiness hidden in the corners of his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, what kind of pill do you want to refine?" Master Kuang Yang asked.
"Since it's a contest, it's better for us to refine the same pill. The first to produce the pill will be the winner. If both of us produce pills at the same time, we'll determine the winner based on the grade of the pills produced. Even Pill Grandmasters have a limited success rate. If both of us start refining at the same time, we'll need at least six sets of spiritual materials. There are many pills that can be appraised by a Pill Grandmaster, but the corresponding spiritual materials aren't low grade either. Although the Senate has all the spiritual materials in the Xiang Nation, the amount of spiritual materials they have must be very limited. "Lu Xiaotian said.
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang is right. I've just looked through the jade slips that contain the spiritual materials. Only the Blood Soul Pill, Jadebone Clarity Pill, and Divine Ape Transformation Pill have reached six sets of spiritual materials. I've already refined these three pills before. Fellow Daoist Dongfang, you can choose any one of them. "
"I need to see the pill formulas for these pills," Lu Xiaotian said.
Xiang Nanming, Xiang Yinshan, and the others felt slightly relieved when they heard Lu Xiaotian's words. If he didn't even know the pill recipe, how could he refine it? Refining pills wasn't like eating or drinking. Even Mr. Kuang Yang couldn't guarantee that he would be able to refine the pill recipe in a few days.
After a moment of hesitation, Master Kuang Yang extended his hand and a jade slip flew towards Lu Xiaotian. "Here is the pill formula. Fellow Daoist Dongfang, please take a look."
Lu Xiaotian took the jade slip and sent his consciousness into it. He had traversed the Blue Devil Seas and the Moongazer Serpent, and now on the Scarlet Abyss Continent, so he had collected quite a few pill recipes. What he had done the most was when he was in the Divine Firmament Palace. He had emptied the storage of the elixir recipes. Although he had put in a lot of effort to collect the elixir recipes, when he was in the Blue Devil Sea Area, his cultivation was too low, so he had not entered the Sect. When he was in the Royal Pill City, he had not integrated into the system of the Royal Pill City. The number of elixir recipes he had obtained was relatively limited. Although his cultivation had increased in the Scarlet Abyss Continent and he had collected some elixir recipes, compared to Master Kuang Yang, who had the ancient inheritance of the Xiang Nation, the resources he had were naturally different.
Of the three types of spirit pills, Lu Xiaotian had only collected the Blood Soul Pill, which was refined using Blood Spirit Demon Crystals and Soul Crystal Grass as the main ingredients. Lu Xiaotian's barrier also had Soul Crystal Grass, but Blood Spirit Demon Crystals were produced in the southern seas of the Scarlet Abyss Continent. They were blood crystals formed in the body of a type of horse called Blood Demon. These blood crystals were extremely rare. They were not spirit herbs or spirit trees, so they could not be cultivated in the barrier. Even if Lu Xiaotian obtained the pill recipe, it would not be of much use.
The Blood Soul Pill was said to be able to increase the strength of the person who took it in a short period of time. Even for a great cultivator, the increase could reach about thirty percent. Of course, using the Blood Soul Pill also had some side effects of Qi and blood loss. After taking the pill, one would need at least a few months to recover the lost Qi, blood, and consciousness. If one were to fight someone during this time, the consequences would be even worse. However, as a life-saving pill at a critical moment, it was not bad. For a great cultivator, an increase of about thirty percent was already very impressive.
The Jadebone Clarity Pill was both offensive and defensive. After taking this pill, one's foundation would turn into jade and be immune to all evils. Even if one was deeply poisoned, as long as they still had a breath left, they would be able to turn into jade and expel the evil poison from their body. After taking this pill, the pill's power would be able to cleanse the body of impurities. For great cultivators, it was also very useful. The effect was especially obvious for body cultivators.
As for the Divine Ape Transformation Pill, it was somewhat similar to Lu Xiaotian's Great Soul Devouring Technique. After taking this pill, one would transform into an ape. Their entire body would be as hard as metal and stone, and magic tools would be difficult to injure. Their strength would also increase by several times. When fighting with others, the pill's power would be quickly consumed. If one did not fight with others, the pill's power would last for a long time. Their body shape and aura were no different from that of a demonic ape.
Now that the opportunity was rare, Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't let go of the chance to see these pill recipes.
"If Fellow Daoist Dongfang needs some time, we can postpone the meeting for a few days. Princess Jade Heart and I still have this bit of authority. "Seeing Lu Xiaotian so engrossed in studying the pill recipes, Master Kuang Yang spoke up.
"It's fine. How can we let the elders wait for a few days? However, I have a question. If the pill refinement fails, how will the losses be divided? How will the pill be divided? "Lu Xiaotian asked after familiarizing himself with the pill recipes.
"How about this? Since Fellow Daoist Dongfang is a pill refinement grandmaster, if the refinement fails, you will refine pills for the Senior Council for a period of time as compensation. If the refinement is successful, the Senior Council will be able to purchase the pill at thirty percent of the market price. What do you all think? " Master Kuang Yang saw that Xiang Nanming and the others were hesitant. They didn't want to give up the Senior Council's benefits, but they also didn't want to bear the losses. Lu Xiaotian clearly had ulterior motives, so he proposed a relatively fair method.
"Good. Master Kuang Yang's words are reasonable. I agree." Xiang Nanming nodded.
"I also have no objections." The two elders expressed their opinions.
"Good. Master Kuang Yang's character is admirable. We'll take the Jadebone Clarity Pill. If you don't have any objections, bring the spirit materials and we can begin now. "Although they didn't have much of an advantage, buying the pill at a price lower than the market price wasn't a bad idea.
"That's fine. Fellow Daoist Dongfang, please wait a moment. The spirit materials will be delivered soon." Master Kuang Yang took out a huge pill furnace that seemed to be made of black iron and placed it in the center of the platform. He then sat down cross-legged as if there was no one around. "Fellow Daoist Dongfang, this old man has to adjust his breathing and calm his mind before refining pills.
With that, Mr. Kuang Yang closed his eyes and quickly entered a meditative state as if there was no one around.
This Master Kuang Yang was a pure pill refiner. Lu Xiaotian saw that Master Kuang Yang directly entered a meditative state and felt some admiration. This person's actions weren't lacking in integrity.
