Chapter 783: Chapter 420: Heavenly Destiny Pill
"Junior Brother Li, tell me the truth, have you been hiding your alchemy prowess all along?"
Senior Sister Su seemed a bit persistent this time.
It was mainly because Li Qian’s Innate Pill Body intrigued her.
If Li Qian had agreed to become her Alchemy Dao Companion back then, she imagined she could have reached a higher level in alchemy.
Truly a pity.
She should have been more proactive.
To say she has no regrets would be impossible.
"Senior Sister Su... if I said that alchemy has always just been my secondary profession, would you believe it?"
Li Qian said with a light smile.
"Uh... I believe it, of course, I’ve always felt you weren’t as focused on alchemy as I imagined..."
Senior Sister Su nodded and said, "Then what are you proficient in?"
"I’m a bit proficient in everything, like artifact refining, spirit plants, arrays, and so on, but I guess I’m best at cultivation."
Li Qian laughed.
"Good at cultivation? Uh... Junior Brother Li, your cultivation talent isn’t that impressive then."
Senior Sister Su covered her mouth and laughed.
The first time she met Li Qian, he was merely a First Grade True Immortal.
So many years have passed, and at best, he might have reached Third Grade True Immortal.
However, for an alchemist, reaching the True Immortal level is already good enough, since they don’t rely on cultivation to make a living.
But she was different.
Her cultivation talent was higher than her alchemy talent. Even though she put most of her effort into alchemy, her cultivation still reached Fifth Grade Profound Immortal... focusing solely on cultivation would have led her to become a Seventh Grade Immortal Monarch without any doubt.
"I think it’s okay."
Li Qian rubbed his nose.
"Then I must learn more about alchemy from you."
Senior Sister Su immediately shifted the topic.
After all, she valued alchemy more... hence she started discussing the issues she encountered in alchemy with him.
Li Qian’s alchemy had reached the pinnacle of the Eighteenth Rank, close to breaking into the Nineteenth Rank, so solving Senior Sister Su’s problems was naturally a breeze for him.
Senior Sister Su was dazzled by his prowess; although she suspected Li Qian was powerful in alchemy, she hadn’t expected him to be this extraordinary...
Indeed, he was hiding his talents before.
More than a month passed.
The Dan Emperor Palace finally summoned all the selected alchemists....
Inside the Dan Emperor Palace.
Hundreds of alchemists from various continents were gathered... Each was a prominent alchemist from their respective continents, perhaps not the most skilled, but undeniable high alchemy talent.
"I heard there’s an Innate Pill Body among the alchemists this time."
Emperor Yuan Chen looked like an ordinary old man as he spoke with a smile, finally letting his gaze fall on Li Qian.
The many alchemists present were all shocked upon hearing this.
After all, an Innate Pill Body is considered the highest talent in alchemy.
Throughout the Heavenly Court and across the continents, Emperor Yuan Chen was the only one with an Innate Pill Body.
And now, there’s another one?
"Li Qian, Guest Minister Alchemist of Taixu Gate’s Cloud Pill Palace... Would you be willing to accept me as your master?"
This Emperor Yuan Chen asked.
As soon as he said this, everyone showed envious looks.
After all, to be accepted by Emperor Yuan Chen as a disciple is a dream come true for many alchemists.
Emperor Yuan Chen is said to have only accepted three disciples in his life.
It’s said that only those passing his test qualify.
Even countless extraordinarily talented alchemists have failed in their attempts to become his disciples.
Now, Emperor Yuan Chen taking the initiative to accept Li Qian as a disciple was unprecedented.
Certainly, a disciple with an Innate Pill Body was tempting for Emperor Yuan Chen.
Many eyes turned to Li Qian.
For anyone else, it would be impossible to refuse an offer to become a disciple of a Pill Emperor.
"Your excellency, Pill Emperor, I’m afraid I cannot accept."
Li Qian shook his head and said.
He’s not a full-time alchemist; a dignified Ninth Grade Immortal Emperor, how could he possibly take a teacher?
Within this Heavenly Court, there’s yet no one qualified to be his master.
Emperor Yuan Chen was taken aback, then nodded, as if understanding something, saying, "Forget it, it seems we don’t have a master-disciple fate."
He guessed Li Qian must already have a master.
Unless the master has passed away, one cannot take another master.
The alchemists present seemed to realize this as well and were very curious about who Li Qian’s master might be.
Li Qian let them speculate.
Senior Sister Su secretly transmitted to Li Qian, she knew he definitely didn’t have a master... after all, someone capable of being Li Qian’s master couldn’t be unknown.
The acceptance of disciples passed just like that.
Emperor Yuan Chen finally got to the main point, explaining the reason behind recruiting so many alchemists this time: it was to refine a very special elixir, which could only be successfully created by those with a special alchemical constitution....
However, refining this elixir would consume the alchemist’s Lifebound Essence Qi.
In some sense, it would shorten their lifespan.
Precisely because of this, a large number of alchemists were needed to bear the loss....
The alchemists present all showed slight changes in their expressions.
Nevertheless, the consumption of Lifebound Essence Qi for elixir refining had an enormous impact on them.
Even though the Heavenly Court was sure to provide compensation.
Still.... who wants to consume their Lifebound Essence Qi?
However, having come to the Heavenly Court... refining this elixir was imminent.
Li Qian did not mind.
After all, his lifespan was tied to the Innate Spiritual Treasure Chen Bell.... as long as the Chen Bell remained intact, he would be immortal.
Even if his Lifebound Essence Qi was consumed, the Innate Spiritual Treasure Chen Bell could replenish it in an instant.
He was just curious about what kind of elixir would require the consumption of Lifebound Essence Qi.
However, this undoubtedly involved major secrets of the Heavenly Court, not something they’d disclose to these alchemists.
Over the following period, the many alchemists began a time of rest and recuperation, as the Dan Emperor Palace provided the best conditions for recovery. Various Immortal Pills were supplied at no cost to ensure the alchemists were in peak condition before beginning the alchemy.
