Chapter 2843: Chapter 1321: Alchemy Demonstration (2)
During this process, the banquet guests will participate, with cultivators who also practice water attribute cultivation techniques discussing the Water Great Dao with Qing Nu, and those proficient in alchemy inquiring about various alchemy secrets.
Overall, the atmosphere remained very amicable.
This allowed Chen Mobai to breathe a sigh of relief.
Due to local customs, at such grand ceremonies, it often happened that rival forces would come to provoke deliberately.
For instance, when you had just transformed into a divinity, a seasoned Deity Transformation True Monarch might come, ostensibly to discuss cultivation techniques, but in reality, they were serious, striking hard during the spell demonstration segment.
Newcomers to divinity transformation were certainly no match during these contests, and this would result in a severe blow.
Not only could it possibly shatter one’s Dao Heart, but it could also turn a ceremony meant to boost morale into a situation where the sect and its disciples were utterly humiliated.
So, in response to this situation, holy lands lacking in substantial foundation would invite other divinity-transforming cultivators from the same state’s holy land for support, or simply would refrain from holding the ceremony.
And with Chen Mobai’s strength, he certainly wasn’t worried about taking action, as there was no one in the Tianhe Realm who was his match.
But if such a situation arose, what should be a joyful Deity Transformation Ceremony would not be very pleasant.
So seeing the Deity Transformation Ceremony proceed smoothly, with many divinity-transforming guests not requesting Qing Nu for a contest, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but nod secretly.
After the spell performances and teachings, it moved on to the segment where Qing Nu excelled the most.
She planned to refine a furnace of Fifth Rank Elixir on the spot.
This Deity Transformation Ceremony was also a huge stage to showcase oneself, and once Qing Nu demonstrated her alchemy, the other divinity-transforming cultivators, if they wanted to show off, could also take the opportunity to display their mastery of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal.
In the past, the Immortal in Flames, during the Deity Transformation Ceremony of the Vast Energy Immortal, refined a Rank-5 Magic Artifact on the spot, and his reputation soared, eventually becoming one of the Three Immortals.
This time, Qing Nu was going to refine a Fifth Rank Lifeblood Refining Pill.
Back when she was at the Nascent Soul stage, she could refine Fifth Rank Elixir, and now that she had achieved divinity transformation, it was all the easier for her.
To demonstrate her superb skills, Qing Nu didn’t even use Chen Mobai’s Primordial Yang Cauldron but instead clasped her hands in the air, condensing water into a pool without using any equipment, purely relying on her craft to extract the essence of each medicinal ingredient with Abyss True Water, blending them into a furnace.
Forty-nine days later, in the True Water Medicine Pool of Qing Nu’s palms, ten pills formed, resembling blood jade, emitting a rich crimson spiritual light.
“To avoid taking up too much of everyone’s precious time, I reduced the potency and increased the speed of pill refining, so this batch of pills is merely of Fifth Rank Lower Grade quality.”
As Qing Nu spoke, her other hand reached into the medicine pool, sealing and removing the potency of those ten Lifeblood Refining Pills one by one.
“Is it already completed?”
Seeing this, even the Vast Energy Immortal and Taixu Immortal were somewhat astonished.
This was, after all, a Fifth Rank Elixir. When their sect’s alchemists took action, it often required at least several years to complete the process of refining, nurturing, and obtaining the pill.
It was precisely for this reason that Deity Transformation Ceremonies often lasted for several years, as when reaching the Fifth Rank level, whether for elixirs or magic artifacts, even talisman making and array formations, all required years.
And for divinity-transforming cultivators, it was also a rare opportunity for exchange and interaction, so knowing there would be many fellow cultivators at the ceremony, divinity-transforming cultivators from the holy lands across the Five Continents and Four Seas were all willing to come for a gathering.
“Working behind closed doors is not as good as exchanging insights with peers.”
The famous Sacred Dao Assembly of Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest was renowned because all holy lands across the Five Continents and Four Seas would come.
So earlier, when Chen Mobai was in seclusion and didn’t attend, Dustless and Da Kong both felt a great sense of regret.
Because with Chen Mobai’s Artifact Refining Technique and cultivation level, he would surely shine brightly and bring glory to the East Continent.
However, even without the Sacred Dao Assembly, Chen Mobai’s brilliance had already soared to the heavens, known and respected by all divinity-transforming cultivators in the Tianhe Realm.
“Whenever watching Daoist friend refine elixirs, it always feels pleasing and delightful.”
The speaker was Feng Qingshu, also a Fifth Rank Alchemist, and if not for never refining elixirs for outsiders, she might have contended for the title of the first alchemist of the Tianhe Realm.
But even so, her knowledge in alchemy remains top-notch.
Previously, when Chen Mobai brought Qing Nu’s Second Primeval Spirit to Du Guang Field, Feng Qingshu initially wasn’t that impressed, thinking she was merely a lucky girl married to the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.
But soon, Qing Nu, with her consummate alchemy, brought immense shock to Feng Qingshu.
This shock was different from Chen Mobai’s repair of the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Phoenix Zither’s strings. Because Feng Qingshu’s proficiency in artifact refining was shallow, she simply thought Chen Mobai was excellent in that area.
But in alchemy, Feng Qingshu was very proud, as in her youth, she had followed the previous head of Heavenly Phoenix Valley, her mother, in refining Sixth Rank Elixir.
According to the standards of the Tianhe Realm, Feng Qingshu could even claim the title of a Sixth Rank Alchemist. Although she didn’t care for the title, she considered her level in alchemy to be unparalleled in the Tianhe Realm.
Even the combined knowledge of Dustless True Monarch and Pharmacist Li could barely match hers.
But despite this confidence, after witnessing Qing Nu refine Fifth Rank Elixir and tasting and appraising it herself, she felt ashamed.
She had seen Fifth Rank Elixir without Dan Poison before, but that was achieved by a Sixth Rank Alchemist like her mother, and even then, the medicinal potency needed to be reduced by ten to twenty percent.
Yet the Fifth Rank Elixir refined by Qing Nu not only lacked Dan Poison, but its medicinal potency was even at ninety-nine percent, some reaching a perfect one hundred percent.
In light of this, the alchemy-savvy Feng Qingshu realized that Qing Nu’s level was far above hers.
Both being Fifth Rank Alchemists, they couldn’t even be said to be in the same league.
“Thank you, Clan Leader Feng, for your praise.”
Qing Nu smiled slightly, placing the ten sealed Lifeblood Refining Pills neatly on the prepared table.
Quickly, the awaiting divinity-transforming cultivators swarmed forward, starting to appraise the elixirs just refined with their methods.
Feng Qingshu, Vast Energy Immortal, and Taixu Immortal each occupied one pill, with no one vying with them.
They poured it out into their palms, observing and smelling the elixirs, expressing admiration.
The number of divinity-transforming cultivators present was not many, and soon each had completed their appraisal.
Shenxi treasured the pill in his hand, and only someone with his level of alchemy understanding could appreciate how perfect the medicinal pill refined by Qing Nu was.
All the medicinal components were perfectly extracted and utilized, and the elixir’s grade was precisely controlled at the Fifth Rank Lower Grade level, with no waste and nothing superfluous.
If Shenxi were to refine the same elixir, he would certainly prepare thirty percent more ingredients, preferring some waste over having the exact amount of materials.
Only someone with extreme confidence in their alchemy would dare to do so.
And there were many like Shenxi who could perceive the profound mystery.
[Who exactly is this Danxia True Monarch, whose alchemy even surpasses my Central State?]
Taixu Immortal was somewhat curious, transmitting his voice to Vast Energy Immortal to ask.
Being a neutral holy land focused on business, Taixu MiaoMiao Palace’s understanding of the alchemy circle wasn’t as intimate as Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest.
Moreover, within Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest, there was a God-Transcending True Monarch hailed as the foremost alchemist in Central State.
[There’s only one place where the alchemy surpasses my Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest and Heavenly Phoenix Valley.]
After a moment of silence, Vast Energy Immortal replied with this sentence.
[You mean…]
Quickly, Taixu Immortal understood where Vast Energy Immortal was referring to, his expression incredulous.
[Aren’t you the Impermanence Pavilion’s East Continent Duke? Do you have a dossier on this Danxia True Monarch?]
And at this moment, while drinking in a corner, Cui Tai suddenly heard voices transmitting to his ears.
Everyone was asking the same question.
