Chapter 2734: Chapter 2734: Annie Campbell
In terms of the difficulty of refining, the ’Daai Law Pill’ and the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’ are actually not much different.
However, because the Rowan Heaven Pill is a top-grade Immortal Pill, it can only be refined by top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters, and there are far fewer top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters compared to middle-grade ones. Additionally, the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill is far less common than the Daai Law Pill’s...
Therefore, the value of the Rowan Heaven Pill is far beyond what the Daai Law Pill can compare.
A Daai Law Pill, even a royal house of a medium-sized Immortal Kingdom can produce a few.
For example, the royal house of King Cooper in the Cloudrock Immortal Kingdom, where Wyatt Barnes was previously situated, offered six Daai Law Pills in a ’Sixteen County Martial Meeting’ as rewards to the counties of those who ranked in the top three.
As for the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, even the Imperial Family of a superior Immortal Kingdom finds it difficult to produce.
In the Desolate Territory, only the three major Immortal sects, which govern various Immortal Kingdoms including superior ones, can produce a few Rowan Heaven Pills, but the quantity is extremely scarce.
If not a key cultivation target of the three major Immortal sects, it is almost impossible to obtain a Rowan Heaven Pill.
The rarity and high value of the Rowan Heaven Pill are due not only to the stringent requirements for top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters but also because the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill is held by only a few top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters.
And those top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters do not easily disclose the pill formula for the Rowan Heaven Pill for their own benefit.
It is for this reason that Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel a wave of shock when he heard Crue Dragonsmith was offering him the pill formula for the Rowan Heaven Pill.
Simply because the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill is too precious!
Even among the three major Immortal sects in the Desolate Territory, they would likely be fighting over getting the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill.
"Do you... have the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill?"
Facing Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry.
Crue Dragonsmith nodded slightly, "Yes."
Upon receiving Crue Dragonsmith’s confirmation, Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes and said faintly, "Since you have the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill, why bother making a trade with me? You could directly approach someone influential in the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect for a trade and have them help you ascend to the throne of Emperor in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation."
"I obviously thought about that."
Crue Dragonsmith sighed, "Just, do you think... if I exposed the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill in front of someone from Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, could I still live? To them, assisting me to ascend to the throne of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation is far more troublesome than directly killing me."
Precisely because of this consideration, Crue Dragonsmith dismissed the idea of seeking help from someone in the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.
Within the Immortal Sect, those capable of assisting him to ascend to the throne of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation are essentially influential figures, and without exception, they are incredibly powerful.
In front of such beings, he is but an ’ant’, without the qualifications to trade with them.
After hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s words, Wyatt Barnes thought about it and indeed found it reasonable.
"Thirteenth Prince, do you trust me so much? Aren’t you afraid that after obtaining the Earth Grade cultivation technique and the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill, I might turn hostile and not help you?"
Wyatt Barnes gave Crue Dragonsmith a deep look and asked.
"You won’t."
Crue Dragonsmith met Wyatt Barnes’ gaze and shook his head, "Though today is the first time we meet, I can tell you’re not that kind of person... I’ve lived for centuries, and I believe my ability to judge character is somewhat reliable."
"Of course, even if I misjudge... I’ll accept it."
Crue Dragonsmith continued, "This... at least it is better than losing my life."
He would rather give the pill formula for Rowan Heaven Pill to the purple-clad youth before him in exchange for an unguaranteed promise than expose it in front of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect’s powerhouses, risking not only losing the pill formula but also his life and livelihood.
Moreover, although he had not spent much time with the purple-clad youth before him, he could tell:
This purple-clad youth does not appear to be someone who breaks promises.
This purple-clad youth, with clear and bright eyes, a face full of righteousness, and an inadvertently emanated aura that gives off a spring-like warmth, is certainly not a villain.
"Thirteenth Prince has such great courage!"
Wyatt Barnes could not help but praise, looking at Crue Dragonsmith again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After all, not everyone has such courage.
Now, he also understood:
Why this Thirteenth Prince before him, without any backing, could reach this stage today, and even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Fourth and Seventh Prince...
Such courage, the Fourth Prince and Seventh Prince might not possess.
"Rather than call it courage, it’s more of a gamble... After all, neither I nor Francis Bushell have the ability to carve or duplicate the memory Immortal Talisman that records the pill formula for the Rowan Heaven Pill."
Crue Dragonsmith spoke, while a memory Immortal Talisman appeared in his hand, precisely the one recording the pill formula for the Rowan Heaven Pill.
Wyatt Barnes’ gaze fell immediately on the memory Immortal Talisman in Crue Dragonsmith’s hand.
"Inside here... records the pill formula for the Rowan Heaven Pill?"
As an alchemy Immortal Master, though currently only a lower-grade one, it did not lessen Wyatt Barnes’ yearning for the pill formula of Rowan Heaven Pill held by Ernesto Dragonsmith.
After all, it is a rare dan recipe that even top-grade alchemy immortals dream of obtaining.
As such, Wyatt Barnes’s breathing became rapid in an instant.
As for Crue Dragonsmith saying that he and the Upper Immortal in the Sky Realm behind him were unable to engrave or copy the Rowan Heaven Pill’s recipe, Wyatt was not surprised, because to engrave or copy the Rowan Heaven Pill’s recipe, one must first master it and be able to refine the Rowan Heaven Pill.
Only an alchemist who can refine a certain pill medicine can engrave and copy the memory immortal talismans containing that pill medicine’s recipe.
Why would one try to engrave or copy a pill medicine that they themselves cannot refine?
"Yes."
Crue Dragonsmith nodded, and beside the memory immortal talisman in his hand, another memory immortal talisman appeared. "This memory immortal talisman contains the Earth Grade cultivation technique ’Heavenly Wilderness Scripture’ that I practice... As long as you, Brother Barnes, use it, the ’Heavenly Wilderness Scripture’ can become a part of your memory, for your use."
Compared to engraving or copying the Rowan Heaven Pill’s recipe, engraving or copying a cultivation technique is much simpler. As long as the cultivation technique is completely mastered, it can be engraved and copied.
"I wonder... Brother Barnes, would you be willing to give me a promise?"
Crue Dragonsmith mentioned again the ’deal’ he was ready to make with Wyatt Barnes.
"With the Third Prince being so sincere and trusting me... do I have any reason to refuse?"
Wyatt Barnes smiled bitterly.
He could indeed obtain an Earth Grade cultivation technique once he joins one of the three great sects in the Desolate Territory but would have to wait some time.
After all, it will only be a year later when the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family starts selecting under-hundred-year-old young powerhouses to participate in the ’Desolate Territory Competition.’
If it were just about an Earth Grade cultivation technique, Wyatt Barnes would still have to think about Crue Dragonsmith’s ’deal.’
Now that Crue Dragonsmith has brought out the Rowan Heaven Pill’s recipe, Wyatt Barnes didn’t have to think twice and agreed to Crue Dragonsmith’s ’deal.’
"Ha ha... Brother Barnes, you’re straightforward!"
Crue Dragonsmith, initially tense and somewhat uneasy inside, immediately let out a hearty laugh upon seeing Wyatt Barnes agree, handing over the two memory immortal talismans to Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes also used the two memory immortal talismans right away, making the Rowan Heaven Pill recipe and the Earth Grade cultivation technique ’Heavenly Wilderness Scripture’ part of his memory.
He only needed to recall them slightly and spend some time to master them.
"Brother Barnes... you, you actually used the memory immortal talisman of the Rowan Heaven Pill’s recipe? Could it be that you are a ’top-grade alchemist’?"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes’s actions, Crue Dragonsmith asked in disbelief.
He initially thought Wyatt Barnes would keep the memory immortal talisman with the Rowan Heaven Pill recipe for future use.
Unexpectedly, Wyatt Barnes used that memory immortal talisman.
Bear in mind, after using that memory immortal talisman, unless Wyatt Barnes himself is a top-grade alchemist and can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill, he would be unable to copy the recipe for the Rowan Heaven Pill.
"I am an alchemist, but not yet a top-grade alchemist."
Wyatt Barnes shook his head.
"It seems, Brother Barnes, you are very confident in becoming a top-grade alchemist in the future... Otherwise, you wouldn’t have used the memory immortal talisman with the Rowan Heaven Pill recipe directly."
Crue Dragonsmith, who initially thought Wyatt Barnes was a ’top-grade alchemist,’ was greatly disappointed upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words.
After all, if Wyatt Barnes were a top-grade alchemist, he wouldn’t even need to participate in the ’Desolate Territory Competition’ to easily join the Dragon Warrior Sect and even be revered as a Sacrificial Officer Elder by the Dragon Warrior Sect.
At that time, just one word from Wyatt Barnes would have the Sect Leader of the Dragon Warrior Sect order assistance for him to ascend to the throne of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s emperor.
At that time, no matter how unwilling his father was, he could only watch helplessly as Wyatt took his place.
That thought alone brought him joy.
Now, learning that Wyatt Barnes is not a top-grade immortal pill alchemist, he was instantly deeply disappointed.
"Brother Barnes!"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Crue Dragonsmith’s face turned grave as he regained composure, "After today, you should vacate your room at the Flowing Year Inn... Bring your people with you and follow me back to the palace, to live in my palace."
"Hmm?"
Wyatt Barnes did not expect Crue Dragonsmith to bring this up suddenly, causing him to be puzzled.
He was not worried about Crue Dragonsmith harming him.
If Crue Dragonsmith perhaps intended to harm him before he used the memory immortal talisman of the Rowan Heaven Pill recipe, now that he’s used it, Crue Dragonsmith absolutely couldn’t harm him.
Because if Crue Dragonsmith were to do so, it would mean that he had given up the Rowan Heaven Pill recipe for nothing.
"The Fourth Miss of the Campbell Family is not worth worrying about... Even my Fourth Brother probably won’t trouble you again."
Seeing Wyatt Barnes’s confusion, Crue Dragonsmith said with a heavy expression, "However, behind that Fourth Miss of the Campbell Family, there is another person..."
"That person is Junior Sister Annie Campbell, a direct disciple of the previous generation Sect Leader of the Immortal Kingdom of a Thousand Spiders, and also the contemporary Sect Leader’s Junior Sister!"
