Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 104 – I’m different from other Demonic Cultivators; I focus on putting down the butcher’s knife and becoming a Buddha right here and now
Chu Xuan began attempting alchemy.
Previously, he had only crafted the Taisui Pill.
However, the Taisui Pill's grade wasn't high, merely a low-grade Foundation Establishment pill.
Now, he was trying three types that were high-grade and top-grade Foundation Establishment pills.
Even though Chu Xuan was prepared, he was still shocked at the success rate of these three elixirs.
It was just too damn low.
For the two high-grade Foundation Establishment pills, he failed six furnaces before succeeding with one.
As for the top-grade Foundation Establishment elixir, the "Bu Tian Pill," he tried seven times and failed each time.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
Too difficult.
To be safe, it's better to find a professional.
...
"You want to find a top-grade Foundation Establishment alchemist? Tsk, that's not easy." Han Liuyun shook his head after hearing Chu Xuan's description.
Low-grade Foundation Establishment alchemists were a dime a dozen.
Even Han Liuyun and Chu Xuan could craft low-grade Foundation Establishment pills themselves.
From mid-grade onwards, it became difficult to craft.
It's best to find a professional alchemist who specializes in alchemy.
But a top-grade Foundation Establishment alchemist, where would you find one?
Chu Xuan could go a step further and ask Wan Wuying to directly invite a Golden Elixir elder from Tianyin Gate to perform the alchemy.
But could he afford the price?
Han Liuyun said, "I'll try to keep an eye out for the Bu Tian Pill and someone who can craft it for you."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Alright."
He then flicked three large Blood Pearls over as payment.
...
Chu Xuan continued his daily cultivation.
His main cultivation method was the Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual, supplemented by the Turtle Breath Technique, Boiling Blood True Technique, and others. Thanks to the endless Yin Evil Qi and the replenishment from the large Blood Pearls, his progress was excellent.
However...
Bang!
A muffled explosion came from the alchemical furnace.
Chu Xuan opened the lid and found the elixir inside had turned into a solidified, charred, unidentifiable mass.
"Damn!"
Chu Xuan frustratedly flipped a middle finger at the charred mass.
It seemed his talent in alchemy was somewhat lacking.
He could barely manage high-grade Foundation Establishment pills.
But for top-grade Foundation Establishment pills, he kept failing.
In this period, he had failed at least twenty to thirty furnaces.
All failures.
Too difficult.
Chu Xuan casually tossed the charred mass outside.
Little Leopard darted over and gobbled it up in one bite.
The expression on its face was quite satisfied.
Chu Xuan was no longer surprised by its reaction.
In fact, all the failed alchemical residue during this time had been eaten by this guy.
Who knew why it loved eating this stuff.
"Hmm? The Mother-Child Stone shattered, looks like there's news!"
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
He packed his things and immediately headed to the nameless market.
...
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
Nameless market teahouse.
When Chu Xuan arrived, Han Liuyun was already waiting.
He got straight to the point, "The thing you asked me to find has been found!"
"I found a top-grade Foundation Establishment alchemist from Miaoyin Palace. You provide the materials, and she will craft the elixir."
"She charges five hundred small Spirit Stones for the alchemy fee, and she wants one pill after it's crafted."
Chu Xuan frowned, "Expensive, but acceptable."
"My only condition is that she crafts the elixir in front of me."
Han Liuyun scratched his head, "Crafting in front of you? That's not a common request, I'll ask her."
He took out a transmission jade and sent a message.
Not long after, he received a response.
The response was just one sentence.
"Okay, I'm coming."
Chu Xuan was puzzled, "Isn't she at Miaoyin Palace?"
Miaoyin Palace's base camp was in Ganzhou, located in the central part of the Yu Kingdom, eighty thousand miles from here.
When you're just trying to make great content at
.
How could a Miaoyin Palace alchemist get here?
Han Liuyun chuckled, "She's currently traveling through the Nine Provinces of the Yu Kingdom, and she's in the nameless market purchasing alchemical materials."
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps came from the stairs.
Soon, a graceful figure walked in.
If one had to describe her appearance, Chu Xuan could only say her features were quite delicate.
Small mouth, small nose, eyes... also small.
The small-eyed female cultivator looked at Chu Xuan, "I'm Yan Xiao, are you looking to craft the Bu Tian Pill?"
Chu Xuan nodded and tossed over a storage bag, "All the materials are in there, enough to craft two furnaces of Bu Tian Pills."
"The alchemy fee is also inside."
Yan Xiao nodded, "Alright, I'll start the alchemy now."
The three of them moved to a soundproof chamber.
Yan Xiao took out a small bronze cauldron from the storage bag and used a fire technique to ignite the spirit wood, heating the cauldron.
Then she began adding various materials into the cauldron.
The entire process was smooth and seamless.
This level of proficiency was only possible after crafting dozens of furnaces of Bu Tian Pills.
Chu Xuan watched intently, not blinking.
Han Liuyun, munching on snacks, smirked, "Stop watching, if your alchemy talent isn't enough, you won't learn it."
"We can just stick to crafting low-grade Foundation Establishment pills ourselves. Leave these high-grade pills to professional alchemists."
Chu Xuan ignored him and continued watching.
It wasn't until Yan Xiao finished crafting two furnaces of elixirs that he reluctantly looked away.
Yan Xiao was surprised.
Someone actually watched her craft elixirs for over five hours straight.
This person had great perseverance, surely some talent in alchemy.
Maybe he really learned something.
Thinking of this, she felt a bit regretful.
Her alchemical techniques were passed down in a single line.
If an outsider learned them just from one observation, she might become a sinner.
Han Liuyun was also surprised, "Did you learn it?"
Chu Xuan smacked his lips, "No."
Han Liuyun and Yan Xiao, "..."
Chu Xuan chuckled.
He did learn a little, but not much.
Yan Xiao's alchemical techniques were definitely more advanced than his common methods.
That was undeniable.
If he could obtain Yan Xiao's alchemical techniques...
Yan Xiao handed over a jade bottle.
"This jade bottle has a small formation at the mouth, it will only unlock once I leave the Wuzhou region."
"If I'm attacked, the formation will self-destruct."
"This concludes our transaction."
With that, Yan Xiao collected her things and left without any intention of lingering.
Chu Xuan pursed his lips.
Tch.
No chance for robbery.
However, this female cultivator could craft top-grade Foundation Establishment pills, she must be quite wealthy.
There might be a few people protecting her in secret.
As for Han Liuyun, who knows if he's her protector.
To be safe, there's no need to stir up trouble.
After Yan Xiao left, Han Liuyun whispered, "This woman is not simple. I once took a commission from a Tianyin Gate cultivator to kill her, but she always had three or four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators protecting her."
"Later, she even found out about me."
Chu Xuan, "And then?"
Han Liuyun chuckled, "Then she offered me five times the price, I flatly refused, saying that was my fellow disciple, my brother. She immediately raised it to ten times the price."
"You know, it was simply... irresistible."
Chu Xuan pursed his lips, "I'm leaving."
Han Liuyun quickly said, "Don't go, I have a job here, exploring an ancient secret realm together! That place is full of treasures! Opportunities abound!"
"I heard quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators plan to explore it!"
Chu Xuan shook his head, "Not interested, I'd rather sit down and cultivate properly."
Han Liuyun was puzzled, "You're a demonic cultivator! How can you call yourself a demonic cultivator without fighting and seizing opportunities?"
Chu Xuan calmly replied, "I'm different from other demonic cultivators, I focus on putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot."
Han Liuyun watched his departing figure, speechless.
After a long while, he sighed.
"This guy is impervious to persuasion, too hard to trick."
