Chapter 37: Qin Chen: I Eat These High-grade Pills Like Candy
Although the 9th Prince knew that the Elder King's true identity was his 17th brother, Qin Chen, he didn't leave. Instead, he stayed behind to cultivate with Qin Chen.
Since they had to put up a show, they had to do it more seriously.
Furthermore, his 17th brother was indeed the Elder King. It was just that he was not his 17th brother's disciple. He could still cultivate.
Soon, it was announced that the 9th Prince had passed the Elder King's test and had become his official disciple.
This made countless elders and disciples in the Taiyi Holy Land envious. Even the Supreme Elders were envious. After all, they also hoped to become the disciples of the Elder King.
On the surface, the 9th Prince had become the Elder King's disciple, but only the 9th Prince knew that the Elder King was his 17th brother.
Qin Chen told the 9th Prince to keep this a secret because he didn't want to be disturbed by the world.
The 9th Prince sighed in amazement. His 17th brother had hidden so well that no one in the Taiyi Holy Land knew that the true Elder King was Qin Chen, who was always sweeping the floor.
Of course, Qin Chen did his best to guide the 9th Prince's cultivation.
Qin Chen's cultivation was at the peak of the Qiyao Realm, comparable to a Bahuang Realm Venerable. He had also grasped the inheritance of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor and much emperor-grade supernormal knowledge. As such, it was no problem for him to guide the 9th Prince, a level two King of the Qiyao Realm. freewebn ovel.c om
Oftentimes, when the 9th Prince had problems with cultivation, Qin Chen could point to the root of the problem and explain it in simple terms. The 9th Prince was enlightened, and he gained an increasingly deeper understanding of just how powerful his 17th brother was.
In the blink of an eye, the 9th Prince, Qin Feng, had been cultivating with Qin Chen for half a year.
He was quite talented. Being only a dozen years older than Qin Chen, he had also reached the Qiyao Realm in a few decades and was now at the peak of level two.
According to the 9th Prince's calculations, he would break through to level three in half a year to three years.
He told Qin Chen the news and was very excited, "17th brother, thanks to your guidance, I've advanced the middle stage of level two to the late stage in just half a year. I'm sure I'll be able to reach level three in three years."
One had to know that the further one cultivated, the more time it would take to improve each time.
For example, the Taiyi Holy Lord Lu Xuan might look very young like he was in his early thirties, but he had actually cultivated for more than 800 years. He was very old, yet he had only broken through to the Qiyao Realm.
One could only imagine how difficult it was to improve each time.
Qin Chen looked at the 9th Prince strangely, "Why wait three years? You can break through right now."
The 9th Prince was shocked, "How?"
"I've refined some pills recently. They're useful for your breakthrough," Qin Chen said.
After saying that, he flipped his palm, and a pill appeared. It was vibrant like fresh blood and was surrounded by wisps of light. He said, "Take this pill. It can increase your blood energy and divine power. It will help you break through faster."
The 9th Prince was shocked, "This is... The blood spirit-recovering pill, and it's of the peerless-grade!"
The blood spirit-recovering pill was a precious pill of the intermediate seventh-grade. It contained the extraordinary effect of rapidly recovering injuries, blood energy, and healing internal injuries. When one was about to break through to the next realm, just taking one could make one's blood energy increase rapidly, increasing the success rate of the breakthrough. (f)reewe(b)novel
A seventh-grade pill like this was enough to make countless people go crazy over it in the outside world.
Even many Qiyao Realm Kings desired one.
This was especially true for the peerless-grade blood spirit-recovering pill. Those old men who had exhausted their lifespans would probably also go crazy over it.
"17th brother, did you really refine this? Are you also an alchemist?!" The 9th Prince's eyes instantly became heated.
As a cultivation civilization, the cultivation of cultivators naturally could not do without the existence of pills. As a result, over the endless years, the profession of alchemy was born.
Alchemists were considered a noble profession in this world because the pills they refined contained many wonderful effects such as healing injuries, raising cultivation, breaking through realms, and so on. As a result, they were sought after by countless cultivators.
Corresponding to the ten major cultivation realms, alchemists were divided into ten levels as well.
Medicinal pills were thus divided into ten grades, and each grade was further divided into the inferior, ordinary, superior, and peerless grades.
However, only a few could become alchemists in Canglan Continent.
"An alchemist? I guess so," Qin Chen didn't deny it. When he checked in at an ancient alchemy palace in the Taiyi Holy Land, he had obtained the lifetime experience of an alchemist named Dan Xu. The system had directly instilled the experience in his mind, thus he had become an alchemist without any difficulty.
It seemed that his Alchemist level was not low either.
Over the years, he had obtained a lot of precious medicinal herbs, including some pill recipes. He had refined many pills according to the pill recipes, and the blood spirit-restoring pill was one of them.
As for the so-called four great grades, Qin Chen did not know much about them. He only knew that he had obtained the experience of that alchemy Grandmaster. No matter what kind of pill he refined, he was able to do it with ease and had never failed.
The 9th Prince took a deep look at the pill and then returned it to Qin Chen, "17th brother, I appreciate your kind intentions. However, this peerless-grade blood spirit-restoring pill is too precious. I can't take it."
"It's fine, you don't have to be courteous," Qin Chen waved his hand, "I've made quite a few over the years. Sometimes, I just eat them like candy. You can just take it."
"..." The 9th Prince suddenly suffered a mental blow. He was a Prince of an immortal divine dynasty and one of the most promising candidates for the Crown Prince's position. He had a lot of money, but he didn't have many pills, let alone such a peerless seventh-grade blood spirit-restoring pill.
His 17th brother, however, ate such pills as candy.
It was infuriating to compare!
When the 9th Prince heard Qin Chen's reply, he stopped being courteous. He took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged, then swallowed the pill.
The blood spirit-restoring pill instantly turned into a surge of medicinal power that filled his limbs and bones. It then turned into a vast amount of blood energy and divine power, which helped him to break through the peak of level two.
The 9th Prince's aura instantly rose, and he was about to break through.
He turned into a long rainbow that rushed into the sky.
After breaking through, it was time to undergo the tribulation.
Half a day later, the 9th Prince returned. Although he was in a somewhat sorry state, he was much more powerful than before.
It was apparent that he had reached level three and was considered a mid-tier expert among these in the Qiyao Realm.
However, Qin Chen didn't just help the 9th Prince to break through a small realm. Since he was giving the latter guidance, he would be too embarrassed to tell anyone that he hadn't helped the other party break through three or four small realms at least.
The stronger the 9th Prince was, the more hope he had to get the Crown Prince's position, and the more hope he had of becoming the Imperial Lord in the future.
With the protection of an Imperial Lord, Qin Chen would be able to be protected by the Great Qin Dynasty with no worries when he returned.
