Chapter 218: The Grandmaster’s Inheritance, The Pill Refinement Journal, The Rude Master Lee
Gujiang suddenly had the chills for some reason.
Meanwhile, beside him, Master Lee who was already dissatisfied due to being left out looked even worse upon hearing what Chu Kuangren said.
“Filling up all the pill recipes? Hmph, even the Alchemy Masters here dare not say something as audacious as this, let alone a nobody like you here. Hurry up and scram.”
Chu Kuangren glanced at him.
A chilling glint in his eyes shone through the spiritual veil, and it made Master Lee’s body tremble. Even his heart was beating slower.
“Since you can’t do it yourself, you should shut up.”
Chu Kuangren replied indifferently.
“You, insolent fool!” Master Lee was red with anger as only a few in the world of alchemy dared to speak to him like that.
The remaining Alchemists looked at each other before discussions arose.
“Who is this person that dares speak to Master Lee in such a manner?”
“Beats me. However, even if he has a powerful background, I bet he still can’t compare with the likes of Master Lee. Not only is Master Lee an Alchemy Master, but he’s also a Royal Alchemist and an Expatriate Elder of the Overlord Sage Tribe.”
“The Overlord Sage Tribe is the most powerful sage tribe in the Black Warrior Domain. Most of the sage orthodoxies don’t even dare to mess with them, yet this guy here dares to speak to Master Lee like that? Does he not know the meaning of death?”
The voices from the crowd soon spread to Chu Kuangren’s ears. Although he was a little surprised by Master Lee’s background, he did not care much.
So what if he was the Expatriate Elder of the Overlord Sage Tribe?
Chu Kuangren was also the Black Heaven Sect Leader.
“If you’re truly confident in completing the pill recipes, just give it a go then.”
The Fairfrost Sage then said.
In fact, she did believe Chu Kuangren, but since she had nothing to lose, there was no harm in letting him try as well.
“Respected Sage, once I’ve filled in the incomplete recipes, I won’t have any need for the Alchemy Grandmaster’s Inheritance, but I do have one condition.”
“Oh, already stating your terms this early? Looks like you’re quite confident in your abilities.” The Fairfrost Sage took a deep look at Chu Kuangren as if she wanted to penetrate his spiritual veil to see his true appearance.
“Do tell.”
“I want to exchange this Alchemy Grandmaster’s Inheritance for the Sage’s Seven Colored Nebula Flower,” Chu Kuangren casually replied.
His words came out like a sudden clap of thunder.
The expressions of every Alchemist could not help but change.
“What did he just say? The Seven Colored Nebula Flower? The rumored Sage-grade herb, Seven Colored Nebula Flower!”
“I’ve come across that item in the ancient archives before, but he’s saying that it exists here?”
“Rumor has it that the flower possesses extraordinary medicinal properties. It can apparently revive the dead and even restore one’s spiritual mound or rejuvenate their meridians as well. When consumed by someone below the level of a Sage, their cultivation level would instantly increase by leaps and bounds.”
Even the Fairfrost Sage herself was shocked. “I’ve never told anyone about that flower’s existence. How do you know about it?”
“I have no comment to give regarding this. Noble Sage, all you need to do is tell me if you agree to this trade or not.” Chu Kuangren did not intend to reveal much to her.
The Fairfrost Sage was silent for a while.
Although a Sage-grade herb was extremely priceless, it still could not be compared to an Alchemy Grandmaster’s Inheritance.
She pondered for a moment and replied, “Very well.”
“Deal.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled. He was worried that the Fairfrost Sage would go against her word, but even if she did, he could just take it from her by force.
He walked up to the Iron Alchemy Pill Scroll, raised his arm, and sent a surge of spiritual energy into the blank pages within the scroll, forming multiple characters and words.
“Frost Deer Antlers”
“Hey, something’s happening with the pill scroll.”
The pill scroll trembled for a while before it released a burst of white light. That was a sign that it acknowledged the herbal item that Chu Kuangren had entered.
“I can’t believe he completed one of the recipes.”
“Tsk tsk, it seems that this guy is not a worthless nobody after all.”
“Though it’s still an incredibly difficult task to fill up all the incomplete recipes. I don’t believe he can do it.”
Chu Kuangren ignored the astonished crowd and continuously released multiple surges of spiritual energy into the blank areas within the scroll.
As the recipes filled up one after another, the pill scroll continuously shook and released bursts of white light, acknowledging Chu Kuangren’s every entry.
That very scene stunned everyone and the Fairfrost Sage.
“Hey hey, are you kidding me?”
“I really can’t believe my eyes, this is just too unbelievable.”
When the last incomplete pill recipe was filled in, the whole pill scroll radiated a dazzling light of brilliance that rumbled the entire valley.
A ray of light was shot out from the pill scroll before it formed into a simple but ancient-looking threaded book with numerous characters swirling on it.
“So that’s the Alchemy Grandmaster’s inheritance.”
“By the heavens, he really succeeded.”
Everyone in the crowd exclaimed, their faces filled with shock. Even the Fairfrost Sage’s mouth was slightly agape as she was stunned speechless for a long time.
Having studied and researched for thousands of years, she had only managed to restore around a dozen pill recipes. However, it only took Chu Kuangren no longer than a moment to fill up all the recipes before her very eyes!
That difference was just too big to comprehend.
Even the Fairfrost Sage felt that her thousand-year study was for nothing.
When no one was noticing, she even pinched her arm as well. “It doesn’t seem like I’m dreaming now…”
Then again, could Sages even daydream?
At that moment, Chu Kuangren reached out and grabbed the Alchemy Grandmaster’s inheritance from the air. A wave of information instantly flooded his mind the moment he did so.
“So this is the Alchemy Grandmaster’s inheritance.” A hint of surprise and wonder was revealed in Chu Kuangren’s eyes as he flipped through it.
‘So that’s what the inheritance was referring to.’
Compared to the time when he used the Alchemy Master’s Experience Card, this pill refinement journal would require him to spend a lot of time studying it, which meant that it was several grades worse than what he had.
Besides, since Chu Kuangren was also an Alchemy Grandmaster himself, that pill refinement journal would not be of great use to him anyway.
Not attached to that journal at all, he then walked towards the Fairfrost Sage to trade it for her Seven Colored Nebula Flower.
However, Master Lee suddenly rushed towards him, trying to grab the journal from Chu Kuangren’s hands. “Quick, let me have a look.”
“How rude!” Chu Kuangren snorted and unleashed a surge of palm qi from his body, which sent Master Lee, an Honorable, flying.
After Master Lee fell in a disgraceful manner, he stood up and glared at Chu Kuangren with rage. “Young man, how dare you lay your hands on me?”
Chu Kuangren merely shot him a glance. “Has all that alchemy fried your brain? You tried to snatch what was mine, so what’s the problem if I hit you in return?”
“I… I didn’t mean to steal it. I just want to have a closer look.”
He was too excited.
That was the Alchemy Grandmaster’s inheritance after all!
For an Alchemist like him who had been stuck at the level of an Alchemist Master for many years, that item was a key for him to unlock the level of a grandmaster!
“I’m afraid you’ll have to get in line.”
Chu Kuangren replied indifferently as he approached the Fairfrost Sage. “Here’s the Grandmaster’s inheritance as promised. I hope you can keep your end of the bargain in return.”
“Please follow me.” The Fairfrost Sage held back her excitement as she led Chu Kuangren to get the Seven Colored Nebula Flower.
The crowd could only look at those two retreating silhouettes reluctantly.
That was the Alchemy Grandmaster’s inheritance after all and was no doubt an irresistible temptation for any Alchemist who could chance upon it.
It was just so rare!
It was especially Master Lee, who stared at Chu Kuangren’s silhouette with a fiery look in his eyes. Resentment and various other feelings intertwined within him.
As if he had made up his mind about something, a hint of determination flashed across his gaze before he turned and left.
Meanwhile, the female cultivator who brought everyone into the valley walked out and announced, “The Sage has informed me that since every Alchemist here has traveled far to get this place, you are all welcomed to stay here for three days, so feel free to take a look around as you wish.”
“Many thanks, noble Sage.”
“Hah, then don’t mind if we do.”
