Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 422: 421



Chapter 422: 421

To the Sixth Imperial Prince’s comfort, there were still a handful of Alchemists and Pill Furnaces that were reliable and showed the true skill of an Alchemy Master.

Su Wei, Red Crow Furnace, and the Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect were a standout among the crowd.

At least their Alchemy techniques were more tout à faire than Jiang Li’s.

“Look, the Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect is using Spirit Devouring Blossom as the main ingredient!”

The well-versed cultivators beneath the stage caused an uproar. The Spirit Devouring Blossom is a poison. Once ingested, it gradually devours the spiritual power of cultivators, leading them to a dry and deathly end.

Rumors say that even the Human Emperor himself once fell victim to this deadly poison.

“Did you also eat Spirit Devouring Blossom, Human Emperor?” Sword Monarch asked Jiang Li through a message when he heard the commotion from the stage.

“I did, and it perished in my stomach,” he replied.

The Sixth Prince, unaware of their exchange, went forward to ask the Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect what pill he was concocting with such ferocious poison.

“You only know a piece of it all. The poison and the pill are one. They can either give birth to or destroy each other, as well as transform into each other.”

“So you…”

“Ah, I neither give birth to nor destroy, nor do I transform.”

The Sixth Imperial Prince resisted the urge to spew profanity.

“Talking about the principles here is too hard for you guys. Wait until I finish, then I’ll show you,” the Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect said, speeding up his work, finishing off the final touches.

“Lastly, add the Mother-Son Lotus… Now!”

The Pill Furnace whirred rapidly, the cover flew off with a loud bang. Amidst the billowing smoke, a mysterious force lifted the glowing pill. The smoke lingered for a long time.

“It’s a higher grade than the Pill Pattern, it’s Dan Cloud! Sect Master Huang’s pill has produced Dan Cloud!”

“May I ask Sect Master Huang, what is the effect of this pill?”

“It has no effect.”

“What?”

The Sixth Imperial Prince felt that since he hosted the Body Integration Realm competition, he hadn’t been able to follow the thought process.

“This is my self-created growth-type pill. Initially, it’s like a blank sheet of paper, useless. But when I feed it a Qi Gathering Pill, it gains the effect of the Qi Gathering Pill.”

The Sixth Imperial Prince had heard of growth-type Spiritual Treasures, but never of growth-type pills.

The Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect placed a Qi Gathering Pill next to the growth-type pill, and an astonishing thing happened – the two pills gradually fused into one!

“Foundation Establishment Pill, Root Nourishing Pill, Small Recovery Pill… as long as it’s a pill, it can swallow it,” The Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect took out a large pile of pills, all swallowed and merged by the growth-type pill.

“Now, this pill of mine has the effects of a Qi Gathering Pill, a Foundation Establishment Pill, a Root Nourishing Pill, and a Small Recovery Pill.”

“If it swallows all kinds of pills, it can become an all-purpose pill! Is there anything that can represent the highest achievement of Alchemy better than an all-purpose pill?”

The Sixth Imperial Prince hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help asking out loud, “Why don’t I just swallow all kinds of pills directly?”

The Sect Master of the Spiritual Medicine Sect extended a finger and swung it, “We must discuss the second ability of my growth pill. It can produce smaller pills.”

As he spoke, the pill buzzed a few times and spat out a small pill. The two pills placed side by side resembled mother and daughter.

“The newborn pill also has the ability to devour other pills and produce smaller pills.”

“This pill doesn’t seem to be very useful for cultivators, does it?”

“Who says it’s not? It can be eaten and also raised as a pet.”

So, the Luban Sect is stealing your Spiritual Medicine Sect’s business, and you’re stealing the Imperial Beast Sect’s business, thought Jiang Li.

Not all Spirit Beasts sold by the Imperial Beast Sect are for combat. Some people think Spirit Beasts are cute and buy them as pets.

On second thought, the Sixth Imperial Prince believed that Su Wei and Red Crow Furnace truly represent the highest level of the Alchemy realm in the Nine Provinces.

And this was indeed the case. Su Wei and Red Crow Furnace represented their respective camps and no matter what, they had to win the third competition.

“Hahaha, Su Wei, let’s see how you win this round! This time, I am refining the Azure Sky Spirit Pill, which can enhance the soul strength of Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators, reducing three hundred years of their cultivation!”

Red Crow Furnace was filled with complacent delight. The Azure Sky Spirit Pill was a great boon for Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators, it was almost an Immortal Pill, and Su Wei simply couldn’t surpass it.

“Sword Monarch, would this Azure Sky Spirit Pill be of any use to you?”

“Unless it’s unavoidable, I never consume pills, especially those that enhance cultivation levels. Even the best pills will leave impurities. Taking pills will only allow these impurities to deposit in my body.”

“Your view is just like Yu Yin’s,” Jiang Li laughed.

“What about the Human Emperor, have you ever taken pills that enhance the cultivation level?” Sword Monarch asked curiously.

“No. Thanks to my Heavenly Spiritual Root, my cultivation speed is too fast. I don’t even need to consume pills.”

“…” Sword Monarch thought he should talk less with Jiang Li in the future.

Indeed, reaching the Mahayana Realm in two hundred years, no pill could accelerate cultivation at such a speed.

When one enters the Mahayana Realm, even the Nine Turns Immortal Pills, and any other pills, lose their effectiveness on Jiang Li.

“Master Su is refining… the Changbai Protecting Nation Pill!” The Sixth Imperial Prince recognized the pill that Su Wei was refining at a glance, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

The Changbai Protecting Nation Pill is not for the cultivator’s consumption, but for enhancing the luck of a nation. It is an extremely rare pill for luck.

The luck of a nation is closely related to the country. If a country is on the edge of extinction, then its luck is on the brink of collapse.

But this Changbai Protecting Nation Pill can forcefully bond the luck of a nation, sustaining it for a hundred years. If the luck of a nation is intact, the nation will not perish. If a wise monarch appears and works diligently, it might even lift the nation from its downfall.

With the Changbai Protecting Nation Pill, it’s like allowing a country to live hundred more years; maybe even bring it back to life!

This is the pill every monarch deeply covets.

The Great Han Dynasty, the predecessor of the Great Wei Dynasty, had carried on for an additional hundred years using this Changbai Protecting Nation Pill, unfortunately, it was still unable to reverse the course of fate and was replaced by Great Wei.

The Changbai Protecting Nation Pill is extremely difficult to concoct and the spiritual medicine used is hard to find. Su Wei spared no expense on top-notch ingredients to concoct this pill, which pained him to no end.

Moreover, the odds of successfully making a pill were just thirty percent.

Fortunately, Lady Luck was with Su Wei, and he successfully concocted the Changbai Protecting Nation Pill.

The Sixth Imperial Prince watched with envy. If he could buy this pill, he would certainly win the favor of the Emperor.

“It seems like the Emperor Father doesn’t need this thing.” The Sixth Imperial Prince had a weird expression on his face. The pill had a time limit. If it wasn’t used within a hundred years, its effects would evaporate and become a waste pill.

With the Human Emperor present, all the monarchs of the realms dared not bully their citizens too much. Instead, they wished to treat their citizens kindly in order to win the favor of the Human Emperor. In such a situation, it was unlikely that a nation would perish.

Even if they obtained the Changbai Protecting Nation Pill, they wouldn’t have the chance to use it.

Someone spotted an anomaly in the sky: “Look, isn’t that the legendary Pill Thunder? The last time the Pill Thunder appeared was twenty years ago!”

“Not just that, this is a Double Pill Thunder. Both Su Wei and Red Crow Furnace have concocted a pill that attracts the Pill Thunder. The power of the two overlapping Pill Thunders is extraordinary!”

Pill Thunder stands for the highest quality of pills. Normally it’s something to be thrilled about, but neither Su Wei nor Red Crow Furnace could celebrate.

If there was only one Pill Thunder, they could have endured it. But now, with not one but two, the power had multiplied several times.

They were not able to resist the Pill Thunder.
