The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was only the size of a palm, and with a flash it moved in front of Li Cheng, bobbing up and down, a joyful emotion permeating all around.
“To be able to convey emotions, it indeed has birthed Spiritual Wisdom. With guidance, speaking will not be difficult,” the Sect Master said.
All the Elders were filled with delight, the little Junior Uncle’s Pill Skill was already unrivaled, and now with the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, alchemy would become even easier!
This was a great event for the sect!
Li Cheng did not refuse; he released his Spiritual Sense and attempted to communicate with the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
“Mu Xingzhi, come here!”
The Black and White Elders beckoned to the Sect Master.
In the sect, only these elder Loose Immortals would dare to directly call the Sect Master by his name.
The Sect Master stepped forward, “What is it, two respected Uncles?”
Old Bai spoke in a low voice, “You call him Junior Uncle, don’t tell me he is Wu Ya’s Disciple?”
“Exactly!” the Sect Master nodded.
The Black and White Elders looked at each other and saw deep shock in each other’s eyes!
Li Cheng’s master, Wu Ya, like them, was one of the sect’s hidden Loose Immortal powerhouses, and was also a fellow elder brother, obviously very familiar with each other.
They knew, thirty years ago, Wu Ya left the sect to seek the Ascend to Immortal Platform and the Sky-reaching Road, and before leaving, he took on a Disciple.
But at this moment, they could clearly sense that, though Li Cheng’s appearance was of one at the Complete stage of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, in reality, he was unfathomable!
Most importantly, could Li Cheng actually refine Responding to Calamity Pills?
And the ones he refined were of extreme quality!
How profound must one’s mastery of the Alchemy Dao be to accomplish this?
In just thirty years, to raise one’s cultivation and Pill Skill to such a terrifying level, how monstrously talented must he be?
“Rest assured, the two respected Uncles, Junior Uncle has agreed to refine some Breakthrough Pills for the sect!” the Sect Master added.
The Elders came back to their senses, nodding in agreement. Old Bai said, “The Breakthrough Pills are important indeed, but his ascension is more crucial. Such a monstrous talent should not waste time in the Kunlun Realm.”
“Exactly, let him refine just enough, and then please have him proceed with his Tribulation Crossing and ascension!” Old Hei also spoke.
A glint of joy flickered in the Sect Master’s eyes as he nodded vigorously, “That is what I had in mind too. Junior Uncle must ascend soon; therefore, I only had the Seventh Elder prepare about a few thousand Breakthrough Pills’ materials!”
The Elders nodded, looking satisfiedly at the Sect Master.
Suddenly, the Elders sensed something amiss, their expressions simultaneously changing to astonishment as they said in unison, “A few thousand?”
The Elders’ eyes gradually widened, Old Hei scanned the Sect Master up and down, uncertainly questioning, “Mu Xingzhi, did you say ‘only’?”
Mu Xingzhi nodded, “Yes, the sect’s stockpile has only a few thousand.”
Old Hei’s facial muscles twitched violently, “How deeply have you misunderstood the word ‘only’?”
Old Bai’s body trembled slightly, seemingly out of anger, he spoke faintly, “A few thousand batches, do you have any idea how long that would take to refine?”
Old Hei continued, “It would take at least ten thousand years to start!”
Mu Xingzhi suddenly realized, he slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile, “It’s my fault for not making it clear, with Junior Uncle’s alchemy speed, two or three thousand batches a day would not be a problem!”
The Elders’ eyes gradually widened, incredulity bursting forth, “Two or three thousand batches a day?”
“Are you sure it’s not two or three a day?”
“You must have misspoken, right? I think you meant to say two or three a day!”
Mu Xingzhi shook his head repeatedly, “Respected Uncles, you heard correctly, Junior Uncle can refine a batch in ten to twenty breaths, maybe even faster!”
?
Not a joke?
The Elders looked at each other, feeling that perhaps there was something wrong with Mu Xingzhi’s head!
“`
“If that’s the case, it’s time to gather everyone and replace the Sect Master!”
“`
“`
Mu Xingzhi looked at the expressions of the two and felt a bad feeling welling up inside him.
“`
“`
He knew that the Elders didn’t believe him and even suspected that he was mentally ill.
“`
“`
Alright then!
“`
“`
Indeed, it would be hard to believe if one hadn’t seen it with their own eyes.
“`
“`
With this thought in mind, Mu Xingzhi quickly said, “Uncles, shall we go and watch the younger uncle refine pills later?”
“`
“`
Both Elders looked towards Li Cheng, who had just finished communicating with the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod. His True Yuan surged, starting to refine it.
“`
“`
With the cooperation of the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and the recognition of blood as its master, Li Cheng’s True Yuan enveloped it, and within a few breaths, he had completely refined the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
“`
“`
With a thought, the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod transformed into a colossal size of a hundred Zhang, suspended above Li Cheng’s head, then immediately shrank to the size of a fingertip and landed in the palm of his hand.
“`
“`
“As it moves with my will, it’s even more useful than the Golden Cudgel. If it’s enlarged and used to smash someone, it would definitely be satisfying!”
“`
“`
“The internal space also changes with the size of the tripod. As long as my Spiritual Sense is strong enough, it’s possible to refine thousands of batches of the same pill in one breath.”
“`
“`
Joy filled Li Cheng’s eyes.
“`
“`
It had to be said that he had underestimated the power of a quasi-Immortal Artifact.
“`
“`
“Younger Uncle, Sixth Elder has sent a message that the new Eighteenth Peak is almost ready and asks you to go and see if there’s anything that needs to be improved,” Mu Xingzhi’s voice sounded.
“`
“`
Li Cheng looked at Mu Xingzhi in surprise. Aren’t you trying to delay things? Why are you suddenly so straightforward?
“`
“`
You didn’t even take out a Message Jade Slip, did a ghost send you a message? You know without checking?
“`
“`
Li Cheng’s odd look made Mu Xingzhi uncomfortable, but he didn’t dare to tell the truth.
“`
“`
At the moment, he just hoped that Li Cheng would start refining the pills as soon as possible, so the Black and White Elders could witness it; otherwise, they would consider him insane.
“`
“`
Old Hei coughed lightly. “You must be Li Cheng, right? Congratulations on becoming the master of this tripod. We are your Uncles, just call us Black and White Uncles.”
“`
“`
Li Cheng bowed in greeting, “I greet the Black and White Uncles!”
“`
“`
“Ha ha, no need for such formality, go ahead!” Old Bai laughed heartily.
“`
“`
Mu Xingzhi hastily said his farewells and led everyone away.
“`
“`
He knew the Black and White Elders would secretly follow.
“`
“`
“Uncle, how is the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod? Can it improve the success rate of pill refining by much?” As soon as they left the Secret Land, an Elder asked impatiently.
“`
“`
No one had ever subdued this tripod before, so no one knew of its capabilities.
“`
“`
It had been in the sect for over fifty thousand years; who wouldn’t be curious?
“`
“`
This is a quasi-Immortal Artifact, after all!
“`
“`
Indeed, the predecessor who created it had extraordinary cultivation that reached the heavens, but due to the restrictions of the laws of the world, they could only create a quasi-Immortal Artifact at most. Otherwise, it would have been much more impressive.
“`
“`
“This tripod is excellent; it can completely isolate the escape of medicinal properties. As for how much it can improve the success rate, I can’t say for certain because I don’t know my own success rate,” Li Cheng said.
“`
“`
Mu Xingzhi took over the conversation, “With the younger uncle’s Pill Skill, refining Spirit Pills will certainly have a success rate of one hundred percent. Even when refining Immortal Pills, it will surely be a success!”
“`
“`
Li Cheng was left speechless. What an unexpectedly flattery!
“`
“`
There are no Immortal Elixirs in this world. What would you use to refine Immortal Pills?
“`
“`
So you can boast about it because it doesn’t exist, right?
“`
“`
“The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod is rumored to be made from almost all Immortal Materials. If it were in the Immortal World, a simple heating could turn it into an Immortal Artifact. Uncle, the future of this tripod is extraordinary!” Mu Xingzhi added.
“`
“`
As they spoke, the group had returned to the front of the Eighteenth Peak.
“`
“`
The current Eighteenth Peak was precipitous and beautiful, with peaks soaring into the clouds, giving off the distinct impression of an Immortal Peak.
“`
“`
Li Cheng scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense and nodded in satisfaction, “We only lack Formations and residences. However, I suddenly have a bold idea!”
