Chapter 420: Chapter 419: Gathering Qi Pill
Jiang Li’s approach defied everyone’s expectations.
Knocking people out? What’s that about? Isn’t he an alchemist? Where are the concocted pills?
Is he an alchemist or a body cultivator after all?
Jiang Li seriously explained: “Actually, I took a Power Pill and a Rapid Pill, which unexpectedly knocked people out.”
Standing not far away, Sword Monarch brought his two fingers together, using them as a sword, slashing at the female cultivator. He separated the Yin-Yang energy in her body, and when she awoke, she found that she could freely control her blazing yang body.
Everyone was speechless. Although they didn’t know if what Jiang Li said was true or not, he indeed did make the female cultivator fall asleep.
The sixth prince of the Great Sui Dynasty and a group of elders decided to respect the facts: “The first round goes to Jin Li.”
“The second round tests the utilization and efficiency of medicinal materials. Here are ten thousand sets of Gathering Qi pill ingredients. Whoever can concoct the most Gathering Qi pills in the shortest time wins.”
The Gathering Qi pill is a must for every budding alchemist, including the talented Su Wei.
Everyone here, as long as they were alchemists, could concoct Gathering Qi pills.
Despite being able to concoct them, the quantity and quality of the pills varied significantly. Not to mention that their opponents were Alchemy Masters, who also had time restrictions.
Being slow in alchemy would eventually lead to a miserable defeat.
“Gathering Qi pill, it’s simple,” the Sect Master of the Spirit Medicine Sect said, laughing heartily. Waving his hand, ten thousand sets of Gathering Qi pill materials were separated by Spiritual Energy.
This casual display of control over spiritual energy and Divine Sense left the crowd awestruck.
The Sect Master of Spirit Medicine Sect concentrated on alchemy. His ten fingers flicked, emitting numerous small flame balls, incinerating the Gathering Qi Pill materials. Impurities were separated, medication properties liquified, and the fragrance of the medication was prominent.
“Alchemy in the air, and simultaneously refining a thousand portions! It’s worthy of a senior who can compete with Su Wei for the top position in the world of alchemy!”
The Red Crow Furnace wasn’t content being overshadowed. It opened its lid, expanded infinitely, swallowed all the raw materials into the Pill Furnace, and slowly rotated. The transparent furnace body vaguely revealed the changes inside.
“The Red Crow Furnace actually incorporates the power of heaven and earth into the pill. Whoever takes this pill has a slim chance of gaining enlightenment from heaven and earth. This chance is immeasurable for Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators!”
Some people disagreed: “But the chance is too slim, isn’t it?”
“There are ten thousand Gathering Qi pills. If you eat them all, wouldn’t you definitely gain enlightenment from heaven and earth?”
“You make a good point.”
“What’s that hidden cultivator Chen Jian doing?” Someone noticed the Sword Monarch’s unusual moves.
Alchemy is extracting medicinal properties from ingredients and combining them with other properties to form pills.
Generally, alchemists use a Pill Furnace to bring out the medicinal properties. More capable ones perform alchemy in mid-air.
But nobody had seen anything like Sword Monarch’s method. He used a sword to break down the ingredients into invisible particles, forcing out their medicinal properties.
As the Sword Monarch danced with his sword, he thrust it forward, seemingly thrusting a thousand swords simultaneously, leaving everyone dazzled and unable to differentiate between his moves and their afterimages.
His Sword Intent was superb, removing impurities and separating medicinal properties.
“Is he a Sword Cultivator?”
“No, why would a Sword Cultivator come to an Alchemy Convention? In my opinion, he’s a Spirit Chef.”
“This guy, Chen Jian, must have been sent by the Spirit Chefs to cause trouble. Look at his swordsmanship, full of killing intent. Doesn’t he resemble those beefy Spirit Chefs wielding their butcher knives?”
“Look, I told you, his killing aura has intensified!”
“But why do I feel like he’s looking at you?”
“It must be an illusion.”
Jiang Li, facing a large amount of raw materials, felt a bit of a headache. Putting people to sleep was easy, but making him concoct pills was challenging.
After some thought, he had an idea.
“I’m finished!”
“I’m done as well!”
“Finished.”
At the same time, several alchemists declared they had completed their tasks.
“The Sect Master of Spirit Medicine Sect was the first to announce, let’s take a look at his results.”
The Sect Master of Spirit Medicine Sect had Qi Cultivation Pills circling above his head, arranged in various shapes, showing off his achievements.
“Ten thousand Qi Cultivating Pills, perfect pill color, with three rings of pill patterns, these are the highest quality Qi Cultivating Pills! Sect Master Huang hasn’t wasted anything, his completion rate is one hundred percent!”
“Next is Red Crow Furnace.”
The Red Crow Furnace opened its mouth, flying out the same ten thousand Qi Cultivating Pills.
“These Qi Cultivating Pills are the same as those of Sect Master Huang…No, these pills all contain a trace of enlightenment from nature, breaking the limit of the quality of the Qi Cultivating Pills!”
“Wait, there are other pills mixed in these, Brother Red Crow, what are these?”
Red Crow Furnace proudly said: “Digestive Pills. If someone eats all these ten thousand pills, they are sure to gain enlightenment from nature, but eating ten thousand all at once is too difficult, so I used the impurities to refine several Digestive Pills to help with digestion.”
“…Brother Red Crow, you’ve thought of everything.”
“Let’s see how many Su Wei has refined and whether he has refined as many as Sect Master Huang.”
Su Wei glanced at the Sect Master of the Spirit Medicine Sect and said indifferently: “I have ten thousand and one hundred Qi Cultivating Pills.”
The Sect Master of the Spirit Medicine Sect was furious, thinking that Su Wei was cheating: “Nonsense, how did you come up with these extra hundred Qi Cultivating Pills!”
Su Wei lightly scoffed, mocking the Sect Master of the Spirit Medicine Sect’s incompetence.
“The impurities also have medicinal properties. If Red Crow Furnace can use the medicinal properties in the impurities to refine several Digestive Pills, I can use the medicinal properties of the impurities to refine an extra hundred Qi Cultivating Pills.”
“Incompetent yourself, yet you think others are incompetent.”
“How many Qi Cultivating Pills has the hidden cultivator Chen Jian refined?”
“I only refined one thousand, but the quality of my Qi Cultivating Pills is good.” Sword Master said.
“Good quality? What do you mean by that?”
The Sword Master took out one of his own Qi Cultivating Pills and placed it into a pile that the Sect Master of the Spirit Medicine Sect had refined. The Sword Master’s Qi Cultivating Pill spurted out sword Qi, chopping the ones that the Sect Master of the Spirit Medicine Sect had refined into scraps.
“My Qi Cultivating Pill contains sword Qi, you could also call it a Qi Sword Pill.”
“Isn’t that basically a Sword Pill?”
“This is a Qi Sword Pill.”
“Is this something Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators should eat?”
“This is a Qi Sword Pill.”
“…”
The Sixth Prince no longer argued with the Sword Master about the name of the pill. The battle’s results would be decided by the elders of the alchemy world. He was just a host responsible for creating an atmosphere, and incidentally get acquainted with some alchemists.
“Let’s see how many pills Jin Li, who came with Chen Jian, refined. Jin Li cultivator, where are your pills?” The Sixth Prince was puzzled. There was still that pile of raw materials in front of Jiang Li that hadn’t been moved. Had he given up on the competition?
Before Jiang Li could speak, a figure rushed over. It was one of the stewards of the Feiyun Commerce Association.
The steward handed a storage ring to Jiang Li: “These are the twenty thousand Qi Cultivating Pills that the guest had urgently ordered, all in the storage ring.”
Jiang Li handed the storage ring to the Sixth Prince, who was dumbfounded.
“Twenty thousand Qi Cultivating Pills.”
The Sixth Prince looked at Jiang Li strangely: “But this competition is about who can refine the most Qi Cultivation Pills in the shortest time.”
“Yes, these were made in the shortest time by hiring someone to refine them.”
