Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14969 Show your hand

"Then this junior will begin refining the pills!"

"it is good!"

The pharmacist nodded, staring intently as if afraid of missing a single detail.

After all, today's opportunity is truly rare.

Ling Xiao had already entered a state of alchemy. As he activated his divine power, a fire dragon instantly appeared. It was the Crimson Flame Divine Dragon from Ling Xiao's Five Elements Dragon Soul.

Using dragon souls to refine pills is also one of his specialties.

The pharmacist was stunned by what he saw.

Although the Crimson Flame Divine Dragon kept raising the temperature of the alchemy furnace, Ling Xiao put the medicinal herbs into the furnace in order. His alchemy technique was not complicated, and could even be described as very simple.

But within this simplicity lies a terrifying skill.

Because every step was almost perfect, from controlling the heat to the timing of adding the medicinal herbs, there was not a single mistake.

It was as if it had undergone countless precise calculations, without the slightest unnecessary movement.

The pharmacist's eyes widened even more.

If the Crimson Dragon Soul shocked him, then what happened next completely terribly shocked him.

Not everyone possesses the Crimson Dragon Soul; this could also be explained as Ling Xiao's unique martial soul.

But those subsequent movements are something every alchemist knows, yet only Ling Xiao can achieve such perfection.

Over the years, Pharmacist Zun has seen many alchemy prodigies and even countless peculiar alchemy methods. Perhaps only Ling Xiao has taken the most basic steps to this level.

It could even be said that he himself couldn't do it.

To do this, you must first have a clear understanding of the properties and incompatibilities of all medicinal herbs, and then you can add them at the most appropriate time.

This thing could not have been done in less than a thousand or eight hundred years.

But Ling Xiao seemed to have this ability innately.

Just as the pharmacist was still in shock, the alchemy furnace suddenly began to shake.

"It's almost done? Only a quarter of an hour has passed!"

The pharmacist's eyes widened in shock.

At this moment, the alchemy furnace clicked open, and instantly, the fragrance of medicine filled the surroundings. Just one breath made people feel as if their entire body was refreshed.

"rise!"

Ling Xiao raised his hand and summoned ten perfect Rejuvenation Pills, which flew out and were displayed in front of him.

Success on the first try, ten pieces in one batch!

It's completely free of impurities, absolutely perfect quality!

This made the pharmacist completely numb.

At that moment, he even wondered if he was dreaming.

"Senior, please examine the pill and see if this is a perfect quality Rejuvenation Pill!"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved, and a pill fell into Yao Shizun's palm, pulling Yao Shizun back from his shock.

He held the pill up to his eyes, examined it carefully, and then smelled it. Suddenly, he was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

"Genius, genius! But... this is impossible. To refine the most basic Rejuvenation Pill to perfection, ten pills in one batch, and in just a quarter of an hour! Is this even a human thing to do? Even I couldn't do it!"

"What kind of monster are you?! Such talent, such skill, I have lived for thousands of years and have never seen or heard of anything like it! No wonder those two old guys, Jiang Chuan and Yao Tianji, always say that our Alchemy Sect is slow to produce pills and the quality is not good. Compared with yours, the pills we refine are simply garbage!"

"You flatter me, senior. It was just something I made casually and is nothing to brag about. Please consider these ten Rejuvenation Pills as a gift. After all, the furnace and the herbs are yours, so I won't charge you for your work. You can go back and study them at your leisure. It's not a particularly sophisticated technique; it's just a matter of practice!"

Practice makes perfect, that is an eternal truth. The reason why Ling Xiao is so good at alchemy is because he started learning alchemy on the Tianlong Continent. Now, after several reincarnations, he is already extremely skilled.

Although the methods of alchemy differ slightly on each continent, they all follow the same principle. As long as he becomes slightly more familiar with them, he can get started immediately.

The pharmacist hurriedly took out a jade bottle, put ten pills inside, forcibly suppressed his excitement, and suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao's hand: "Young friend Ling Xiao, there is something I want to discuss with you, and you must not refuse!"

"Please speak, senior. Anything that I can do, I'm willing to give it a try!"

He neither refused nor agreed, leaving himself room to maneuver, lest he make a promise he couldn't keep and end up losing face.

"Young friend, would you be willing to join the Alchemy Sect? I will personally accept you as my disciple... no, I will directly pass on the position of Sect Master to you!"

"All the resources, all the ancient pill formulas, and all the disciples of the Alchemy Sect are at your disposal. I will not interfere! As long as you stay, I will grant you whatever you desire!"

The pharmacist was clearly too excited and didn't consider how tempting his offer was at all.

If the people from the Alchemy Sect heard this, they would think this old guy had gone mad.

Of course, anyone would likely be tempted by such conditions and would probably agree without hesitation. It's important to understand that the Alchemy Sect holds a very high position in the Chaotic Martial World. Even if their combat strength isn't strong, they have countless allies. If a disciple of the Alchemy Sect is bullied, countless people will be willing to help.

Even though it was such a good deal, Ling Xiao didn't want to agree.

His alchemy skills have reached the pinnacle of the Bai Ze Continent, so joining the Alchemy Sect would be meaningless. Moreover, the Alchemy Sect cannot afford to accept his status.

"Senior, do you know what situation I'm in right now?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile, his words tinged with amusement.

The pharmacist was clearly taken aback.

They calmed down as well.

He was so happy just now that he didn't think about Ling Xiao's current situation or what the consequences would be if he accepted Ling Xiao.

At that moment, I didn't know how to answer.

Before he could speak, Ling Xiao interjected, "The Demon Soul Clan sees me as a thorn in their side, wishing they could tear me to pieces. Because of me, the Silent Extinction Court was besieged by the Demon Soul Clan's army and nearly destroyed; the Holy Rune Academy also suffered heavy losses due to a sneak attack by the Demon Soul Clan because of me."

“Now, anyone who gets close to me will be targeted by the Demon Soul Clan and will bring trouble upon themselves. Senior, if I agree to join the Alchemy Sect today, the Demon Soul Clan's iron hooves will trample the Alchemy Sect's gates to the ground tomorrow. The entire Alchemy Sect will be buried with me.”

"Now, do you still intend to let me join the Alchemy Sect?"

The pharmacist's expression changed instantly. The excitement and eagerness on his face faded away, replaced by embarrassment and solemnity.

He opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times, as if a thousand words were stuck in his chest, but in the end, he said nothing.

Because what Ling Xiao said was all irrefutable fact.

The Alchemy Sect was not a top force in the Chaotic Martial World, and compared to the Demon Soul Clan, it had no advantage whatsoever.

The Demon Soul Clan possesses terrifying resources and countless experts; they could easily crush the Alchemy Sect by simply sending out a single elite squad.

If he dared to recruit Ling Xiao into his sect, it would bring utter destruction to the Alchemy Sect. (End of Chapter)
