Chapter 654: Chapter 450: Exposed—Who Doesn’t Know What’s Good for Them? Fusion Pill Formula (2)

This kid’s talent is practically on par with him.

"Hoarding elixirs is strictly forbidden. Since this is your first offense, I’ll let it slide—but don’t let there be a next time!"

After finishing his words, Zhu Wenhuan waved his hand and canceled the grand array.

Lin Chang’sheng replied and then left the room.

"Ouch—"

But as soon as Lin Chang’sheng stepped out the door, he bumped right into a pretty young lady.

Lin Chang’sheng only felt a soft sensation against his chest. Looking closer, he saw a girl in red wailing as she fell to the ground.

"Which blind bastard ran into me? How dare you bump into this young lady?"

The girl in red snapped, then slowly got up.

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t be bothered to deal with her and just strode away.

But the girl in red clearly had no intention of letting Lin Chang’sheng off.

"You damn thing, did I say you could leave?"

As she spoke, she threw a palm strike at Lin Chang’sheng’s back.

Lin Chang’sheng was already a bit irked, and now this chick had the nerve to stir up trouble, so he spun around and punched back.

Seeing the two attacks about to collide, Zhu Wenhuan raised his palm and instantly absorbed both attacks into his hand.

"Xuan’Er, enough! Show some respect!"

Zhu Wenhuan said coldly.

This actually caught Zhu Xuan off guard. Her own grandpa was taking his side?

Who the hell was this guy? Was Grandpa worried she’d actually break him?

"Grandpa, this guy knocked me down and didn’t even apologize—why are you siding with him?"

Zhu Xuan protested.

She’d only rushed back to Divine Pill Pavilion because she’d caught word a Holy Pill was about to be made. She wanted to see which alchemist had the skill, and maybe snatch a share for herself.

But as soon as she got back, she got bowled over by Lin Chang’sheng. Now her mood was totally soured.

"I’m not taking his side. If you fought him, I’m just afraid you’d come out the loser."

Zhu Wenhuan replied coolly.

This made Zhu Xuan even more confused. Wasn’t she at the Void Refining Stage? She couldn’t handle this guy?

He doesn’t even look that strong, does he?

"I don’t buy it. How tough could he be?"

Zhu Xuan was still unconvinced.

The surrounding alchemists, having witnessed all this drama, hurried over to intercede.

"Miss Zhu, his name is Lin Chang’sheng—he’s number one on the Celestial Pride List. You’re no match for him!"

"Yeah! Right now, Lin Chang’sheng is an honored guest elder of our Divine Pill Pavilion. He just refined a Holy Grade elixir!"

"If you spar with him, you’re definitely going to lose. The Pavilion Master is protecting you!"

"Exactly! Miss, best let this go!"

...

With all the alchemists chiming in, Zhu Xuan finally looked at Lin Chang’sheng with newfound respect.

"Lin Chang’sheng, number one on the Celestial Pride List? It’s really him?"

Zhu Xuan said in surprise.

She didn’t expect to meet the number-one prodigy in person. Honestly, the guy didn’t look all that special!

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t be bothered with some spoiled princess. He walked away, chatted a bit with Xiao Chen, and then had Xiao Chen lead him to the seventh floor where the pill formulas were kept.

Lin Chang’sheng planned to fuse a few formulas together and make even more powerful elixirs.

"You’re taking so many pill formulas at once—can you handle learning them all?"

Xiao Chen noticed Lin Chang’sheng grabbed four pill formulas and got curious.

And Lin Chang’sheng had picked only First Grade pill formulas too.

These formulas weren’t something you could master in a day or two.

"Doesn’t matter—learning one or learning four, it’s all the same!"

Lin Chang’sheng brushed it off.

Next, with Xiao Chen’s arrangements, Lin Chang’sheng got his own room on Divine Pill Pavilion’s fifth floor.

The room wasn’t just for cultivation—it even had a furnace for alchemy practice.

The facilities weren’t bad at all, with a Spirit Gathering Array and spirit stones on hand, so he could train whenever he wanted.

"Let’s study these four pill formulas and see if I can fuse them into a Divine Level formula!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.

He started reading through the four pill formulas in his hands.

The four formulas were for Gathering Immortal Pill, Dragon Soul Pill, Nine-Turn Golden Pill, and Fiery Sun Pill.

[Entry Level: Gathering Immortal Pill!]

[Entry Level: Dragon Soul Pill!]

[Entry Level: Nine-Turn Golden Pill!]

[Entry Level: Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill!]

Five hours later, Lin Chang’sheng finally got all four pill formulas to entry level.

[Gathering Immortal Pill detected. Spend 6000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

[Dragon Soul Pill detected. Spend 6500 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

[Nine-Turn Golden Pill detected. Spend 6000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

[Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill detected. Spend 6500 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang’sheng decisively chose to simplify them all.

[Great Dao is Simple: Gathering Immortal Pill simplification started...simplifying...simplification complete. Gathering Immortal Pill == Observing Immortal!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Dragon Soul Pill simplification started...simplifying...simplification complete. Dragon Soul Pill == Observing Dragon!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Nine-Turn Golden Pill simplification started...simplifying...simplification complete. Nine-Turn Golden Pill == Spin!]

[Great Dao is Simple: Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill simplification started...simplifying...simplification complete. Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill == Playing with Fire!]

"Observing Immortal? Observing Dragon? Spin? Playing with Fire?"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself. Doesn’t sound too hard.

So, on a piece of paper, Lin Chang’sheng drew the character for "Immortal," then drew a dragon. Couldn’t he train two pill formulas’ proficiency at the same time?

Then, he started spinning in place while using his mind to control fire, simultaneously practicing all four pill formulas.

Gathering Immortal Pill experience +1!

Dragon Soul Pill experience +1!

Nine-Turn Golden Pill experience +1!

Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill experience +1!

...

In an instant, his proficiency with the four pill formulas skyrocketed.

Before he knew it, night had fallen, and Lin Chang’sheng was still grinding away at those four pill formulas’ proficiency.

[Gathering Immortal Pill: Perfection!]

[Dragon Soul Pill: Perfection!]

[Nine-Turn Golden Pill: Perfection!]

[Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill: Perfection!]

At last, persistence paid off. In the dead of night, Lin Chang’sheng finally brought all four pill formulas to perfection.

[Gathering Immortal Pill (Perfection), Dragon Soul Pill (Perfection), Nine-Turn Golden Pill (Perfection), Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill (Perfection), Primordial Golden Pill (Perfection) detected. Fuse into a new pill formula?]

As soon as all four reached perfection, a system prompt popped up.

"Fuse!"

Lin Chang’sheng unhesitatingly chose to fuse.

[Gathering Immortal Pill (Perfection), Dragon Soul Pill (Perfection), Nine-Turn Golden Pill (Perfection), Fiery Sun Fire Phoenix Pill (Perfection), and Primordial Golden Pill (Perfection) start fusing...fusing...fusion complete. Gained new pill formula: Primordial Immortal Pill!]

"Primordial Immortal Pill?"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself. The name sounded similar, but he was sure the pill’s grade was way above Primordial Golden Pill.

[Primordial Immortal Pill detected. Spend 11,000 Immortal Crystals to simplify?]

The prompt popped up again.

11,000 Immortal Crystals was no small price, but Lin Chang’sheng could afford it.

"Simplify!"

[Great Dao is Simple: Primordial Immortal Pill simplification started...simplifying...simplification complete. Primordial Immortal Pill == Watching a beauty knead pill ingredients!]

"Watching a beauty knead pill ingredients?"

Lin Chang’sheng muttered to himself. This requirement seemed a bit much.

Where was he supposed to find a beauty in the middle of the night?

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai—"

The only one Lin Chang’sheng could think of was Xiaobai.

But right now, Xiaobai stayed stubbornly silent, acting like she didn’t hear him at all.

After calling out forever with no answer, Lin Chang’sheng had to give up.

"Xiaonan!!"

Lin Chang’sheng called again.

Xiaonan was way more well-behaved than Xiaobai and popped right out of the Spirit Beast Bag.

"What do you want?"

Xiaonan said grumpily, as if Lin Chang’sheng was disturbing her beauty sleep.

"Oh, nothing. Just thought I’d have a little chat with you."

Of course, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t tell her he wanted to watch her so he could practice alchemy.

At first, Xiaonan wasn’t interested at all, but once Lin Chang’sheng mentioned her previous master left her a message, she started listening closely.

So Lin Chang’sheng started chit-chatting with Xiaonan while kneading pill ingredients by hand.

Primordial Immortal Pill experience +1!

Primordial Immortal Pill experience +1!

...

The Primordial Immortal Pill’s experience was climbing uncontrollably.

Finally, after chatting away the whole night, the sky began to lighten in the east.

[Primordial Immortal Pill: Perfection!]

Lin Chang’sheng finally maxed out the Primordial Immortal Pill’s experience.

"You rambled all night long—so what did my master actually say?"

Xiaonan complained, sounding annoyed.

"Your master told me to take good care of you, not to let you get spoiled, and that you have to listen to everything I say! That’s it!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied with a grin.

That was when Xiaonan realized she’d been strung along by Lin Chang’sheng all night long.

With a huff, she stormed right back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

If she didn’t worry about smashing Lin Chang’sheng flat with a slap, she’d have given him a couple hard knocks for sure.
