Chapter 2779: Chapter 1286: Perfection of Spirit Transmutation
When the Dao Morale Sect learned about the Longevity Great Dao Pill, someone even suspected that the Five Elements Sect had stolen their Communicating Holy Spirit Pill recipe.
After all, how could such a coincidence happen? There wasn’t any prior indication, and suddenly they had a complete alchemy recipe and started collecting herbs. Moreover, many herbs purchased from Dao Morale Sect overlapped with those of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.
Now, after Qi Jiannu reviewed it, it was clear that while the Longevity Great Dao Pill and the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill shared a lineage, both using the Great Dao Pill recipe as a framework, the former was slightly more intricate.
Firstly, it streamlined over a hundred herbs, but the refining process and methods were several times more complex.
Over here in the Tianhe Realm, refining elixirs is relatively primitive.
To ensure consistency, it is typical for an alchemist to personally oversee every part of the process from start to finish, with disciples only assisting with some minor herbs.
But even with this approach, the quality of each batch can vary, more so with top-ranked pills.
So sometimes, even if you obtain an elixir, you must hope the quality of this batch is acceptable.
And this Longevity Great Dao Pill was developed by Qing Nu using the alchemical philosophy of the Immortal Gate, integrating it with local refining conditions. Despite more procedures, each has precise quantitative standards, ensuring any fluctuations in quality during refinement are minimal.
Such quantified standards for every herb are quite rare for alchemists in the Tianhe Realm.
After reviewing the recipe, Qi Jiannu even felt their own Communicating Holy Spirit Pill recipe wasn’t as perfect, as some subtle parts seemed amendable.
"Is this the recipe deduced by Danxia Master? Truly impressive."
Though Dan Miaosu wasn’t specialized in alchemy, cultivators here in the Tianhe Realm are expected to know a little about the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, so she too was amazed by the value of this recipe.
"Nowhere near, I just integrated what I learned, not worth mentioning." Qing Nu smiled, seeming pleased.
Though restricted by the environment here in the Tianhe Realm, many alchemical techniques of the Immortal Gate cannot be reproduced here, she did her best to compile teaching materials, guiding the next generation, laying the foundation of alchemy in the Eastern Wilderness.
This Longevity Great Dao Pill represents the efforts of more than a hundred years.
It’s possible to refine each herb, set standards, and let others handle the implementation.
"Who is the great ability that taught Danxia Master?" Dan Miaosu asked curiously.
Initially, the Holy Land of the East Continent didn’t pay much attention to Qing Nu’s origins, as both the Five Elements Sect and Chen Mobai were minor players then.
But it’s different now, with Chen Mobai being the foremost figure in the East Continent and Qing Nu the second-ranked alchemist behind Dustless True Monarch, many forces have started investigating her.
However, the more they investigate, the more astonishing it becomes.
She seems to have descended from the sky.
According to public information, she was brought out from the Ruins by Chen Mobai, and taken as a disciple by a mysterious abnormality from a young age.
Thus, the focus of investigation is on this mysterious abnormality and its background lineage.
To survive in the Ruins for decades, this abnormality’s cultivation level must at least be at the Nascent Soul Realm or even Divinity Transformation. Such beings of this realm are well-known anywhere in the Tianhe Realm.
Given her accomplishments in alchemy seamlessly advancing to a fifth rank alchemist, she clearly comes from a great force.
While cultivation level might benefit from luck, obtaining an Immortal Cave Mansion for rapid progress, alchemy requires experience and practice.
Qing Nu’s current display of alchemy suggests she’s been refining in the Ruins since childhood, even assisting her teacher in refining fifth-ranked recipes.
A comprehensive view suggests that those capable of being Qing Nu’s teacher, this mysterious abnormality, are rare in the Tianhe Realm.
In the East Continent, only Dustless True Monarch meets the criteria.
And indeed, some suspect Qing Nu was secretly made a disciple by Dustless True Monarch.
"The Longevity Great Dao Pill recipe is not easy to deduce, but since I’ve given it to you all, I hope you won’t fail..." Chen Mobai quickly shifted the topic, after all, Qing Nu’s mysterious abnormality teacher was a fabricated tale.
However, he already contemplated having the Spiritual Venerable appear as a Huge Kun in the Mysterious Sea at some future time, establishing her as Qing Nu’s master.
As for why the mysterious abnormality turned into a Huge Kun, it’s assumed no one across the Five Continents and Four Seas would dare to question him face to face.
"Please rest assured, Chen Sect Master. In addition, what should we offer in return?" Dan Miaosu readily agreed, and after receiving the recipe, she was quick to prepare compensation.
"Besides the Longevity Great Dao Pill, I plan to refine several more elixir recipes, and I’ll need you both to assist with the herbs."
Chen Mobai addressed this to both Qi Jiannu and Dan Miaosu.
"Include us Nine Heavens Morality Sect in this." Ye Qing spoke up after listening.
Seeing both Dao Morale Sect and Taixu Piaomiao Palace taking part, Ye Qing didn’t decline further, taking the recipe for Yuan Zhen to keep.
"Brother Ye, the recipe was meant for you, no need for additional compensation."
Chen Mobai shook his head, but Ye Qing insisted, claiming that what he offered was not worth even one percent of the recipe’s value.
