Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 51 - Life Extension Pill

51: Chapter 51: Life Extension Pill

51 -51: Life Extension Pill

“Is that so…”

Hearing Liang Yuqiu’s confusion, Mo Wangchen had no choice but to admit it.

In fact, with his current perception, even attempting to refine a third-grade pill had more than a fifty percent success rate.

However, since he hadn’t tried it, he genuinely remained at a second-grade alchemist’s level.

“Really?” After getting Mo Wangchen’s verbal confirmation, Liang Yuqiu couldn’t help but widen her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Who would’ve thought that this boy, two years younger than her, had already become a second-grade alchemist?

“What herbs were you looking for just now?” After her initial surprise, Liang Yuqiu suddenly asked.

Since Lin Feng was a second-grade alchemist, the herbs he sought must have been for crafting a second-grade pill.

Every alchemist’s alchemy recipe was extremely precious, and she was very curious about what pills Mo Wangchen knew how to make.

Mo Wangchen hesitated, then after a moment of silence, took out the list of herbs for the Nine Apertures Spirit Pill.

Curious, Liang Yuqiu accepted it, and after a moment, said, “Except for a few rather rare herbs, the others aren’t particularly uncommon.

This Dragon Roar Grass…”

“Senior Sister Liang knows Dragon Roar Grass?” Mo Wangchen’s eyes lit up.

Like the Green Darkness Grass, Dragon Roar Grass was one of the main ingredients of the Nine Apertures Spirit Pill and wasn’t commonly found.

“I believe my master has a stalk of it.

However, Dragon Roar Grass is indeed rare, and if you wish for it, he may not be willing to part with it,” Liang Yuqiu nodded, handing back the list of the Nine Apertures Spirit Pill ingredients to Mo Wangchen.

“Oh?” Mo Wangchen frowned slightly, “No amount of gold coins will do…”

“My master is not lacking in gold coins,” Liang Yuqiu chuckled.

Mo Wangchen nodded, having heard before that Liang Yuqiu’s master held a high status within the Alchemy Pavilion and was likely a high-grade alchemist from the Alchemist Alliance.

Such a person would surely not lack gold coins.

“How about if I exchange it with a martial technique?” Mo Wangchen suddenly suggested.

“Martial technique?” Liang Yuqiu was taken aback, “What rank of martial technique?”

“Xuan Rank, perhaps,” Mo Wangchen considered for a moment.

A Xuan Rank martial technique was obviously worth more than the Dragon Roar Grass itself.

“Xuan Rank martial technique?” Hearing his words, Liang Yuqiu was once again shocked.

The Liang Family naturally possessed Xuan Rank martial techniques, but even for them, techniques of this rank were enormously rare.

Currently, the Liang Family held only two, which were considered the family’s treasures.

How could someone be willing to exchange such a thing for a single herb?

At that moment, she suddenly found Mo Wangchen difficult to understand.

In Yun Country, besides the five major families of the county capital, few forces possessed Xuan Rank martial techniques, let alone were willing to exchange them.

Besides, Mo Wangchen was only about eighteen.

Even if he belonged to a major family, he shouldn’t have the authority to offer a Xuan Rank martial technique.

Although puzzled, Liang Yuqiu refrained from questioning further and after a moment of silence, frowned slightly, “Although Xuan Rank martial techniques are rare, my master is focused on the Alchemy Dao and probably has little interest in martial arts.

The Dragon Roar Grass seems quite useful to him, I’m afraid…”

Even a Xuan Rank martial technique wouldn’t suffice?

Hearing Liang Yuqiu’s words, Mo Wangchen immediately rolled his eyes.

What kind of eccentricities did her master have?

Across Yun Country, Xuan Rank martial techniques were already considered top-level cultivation techniques, weren’t they?

And the value of Dragon Roar Grass probably amounted to only hundreds of thousands of gold coins, yet he refused to exchange it?

This piqued Mo Wangchen’s curiosity about the so-called master of Liang Yuqiu.

“If it’s an alchemy recipe, could it be exchanged?” After a moment’s silence, Mo Wangchen spoke again.

“An alchemy recipe is indeed possible, but it depends on what kind of recipe you offer.

Ordinary recipes might not even catch my master’s eye…”

Liang Yuqiu smiled wryly.

Knowing her master’s temperament well, she wasn’t surprised by Mo Wangchen’s offer to trade with an alchemy recipe.

After all, being an alchemist, he would have a few recipes.

However, given Mo Wangchen’s rank as a second-grade alchemist, he probably wouldn’t have any particularly high-level recipes.

“What kind of recipe do you think would interest your master?” Mo Wangchen asked.

Liang Yuqiu hesitated slightly before replying, “My master is interested in novel things.

It depends on what kind of pill your recipe makes, or perhaps, a recipe of fourth-grade or higher…”

At this point, Liang Yuqiu didn’t continue.

Fourth-grade recipes were exceedingly rare in Yun Country.

She didn’t believe Mo Wangchen could produce one.

“Fourth-grade…”

Hearing her words, Mo Wangchen clicked his tongue.

In his past life, he would’ve considered fourth-grade recipes mundane.

Still, he did possess quite a few, so offering one wouldn’t be difficult.

Yet, a fourth-grade recipe would cause unnecessary suspicion, especially if a mere second-grade alchemist like himself were to offer one.

After some thought, he finally said, “I have a third-grade recipe here, for a Life Extension Pill.

I believe your master would be interested.”

“Life Extension Pill?”

“This pill can extend one’s life by ten years, but it has only one-time effectiveness.

If one takes a second pill, it won’t extend life further,” Mo Wangchen replied confidently.

“Extends life by ten years?!”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuqiu’s eyes widened with disbelief, “Is that true?

Does such a pill even exist?!”

Liang Yuqiu had never heard of a pill that could extend life, let alone by ten years, which seemed like a divine pill against the natural order.

“Though it’s only third-grade, the ingredients are hard to come by.

Rest assured about the recipe’s authenticity.

If you let your master examine it, he’ll recognize its genuineness at a glance!” Mo Wangchen said confidently.

“If your recipe is genuine, my master will certainly agree to the exchange!” After her initial shock, Liang Yuqiu nodded solemnly.

“Let’s set a time,” Mo Wangchen said without hesitation.

“My master tends to be quite mysterious and elusive, so finding him might be challenging.

Let’s meet here in three days, shall we?” Liang Yuqiu considered and ultimately suggested.

“Agreed!” Mo Wangchen nodded.

Even though he knew that a Life Extension Pill would cause a massive stir in the current world of Tiannan if it came out, most cultivators had lifespans of one or two hundred years, with particularly powerful figures reaching five hundred at most.

Ten years was of immense importance to anyone!

But that was the case for others.

For Mo Wangchen, a Life Extension Pill wasn’t a precious pill.

With his past life’s alchemy skill, he had developed countless pills more defiant of the natural order than the Life Extension Pill.

Even though he knew exchanging the recipe for Dragon Roar Grass was to his detriment, he could only do so for the Nine Apertures Spirit Pill.
