Chapter 151: Life Pill Sutra

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“These Crystal Source Pills were refined over 300 years ago, but they are still of excellent quality and have abundant medicinal power. How rare.”

Xu Ning praised, “This shows that the refining technique of this pill medicine is extremely exquisite. It can seal the medicinal properties of a pill for such a long period of time. Of course, how they were preserved for so long is also due to how the pills were stored. Speaking of this, this stone box is made of a special material that allows it to be extremely sealed. With such a tight seal, it can ensure that the medicinal properties of the pills can be preserved for a long time without leaking one bit.”

After admiring the Crystal Source Pills, Xu Ning directly absorbed the six pills in the stone box.

‘18,000 units of energy.’

To a certain extent, a Crystal Source Pill was an upgraded version of a Pure Source Pill.

If an ordinary martial artist consumed it, they would be able to ensure that they would get an abundance of aura, accelerating their cultivation. Of course, the final effect depended on their own cultivation level.

But if Xu Ning absorbed it, those auras were completely useless.

After absorbing the energy, Xu Ning continued to take out two crystal cubes from his rib storage space.

Xu Ning placed it on his forehead before moving it away after the crystal square emitted a glimmer of light.

In just a dozen seconds, with the help of these two crystal cubes, Xu Ning had gained a lot of new knowledge in his mind.

One of the major parts of the information he received was a pill medicine scroll. It recorded information about countless spirit medicine, countless pill medicine, and refining methods.

These were the life savings of the dao realm alchemy master who left behind his inheritance. Xu Ning had already inherited them all.

In addition to the pill scroll, there was also a secret technique for refining pills called the “Life Pill Sutra”.

The Life Pill Sutra itself did not have much combat potential. After cultivating it, it would only improve one’s perception and harmonize one’s water and fire-based secret techniques.

The higher one cultivated this secret technique, the higher the quality of the pill.

“The deceased alchemy grandmaster senior left behind a complete alchemy practice system. The Life Pill Sutra is a void realm alchemy secret technique. And once I reach the dao realm, there is another more advanced technique waiting for me.”

Xu Ning checked his Martial Arts Panel.

The Life Pill Sutra had been imprinted on the Martial Arts Panel.

‘Memory crystals are better.’

Xu Ning thought to himself,?‘With the help of memory crystals, I can instantly understand the Life Pill Sutra thoroughly and begin to advance it. I don’t have to understand it by myself, saving myself from suffering a painful headache.’

‘However, memory crystals can only be created by a dao realm master, so ordinary people can’t even touch them.’

‘On another note, as long as I improve on the Life Pill Sutra, I will become an alchemy master.’

Xu Ning smiled.

‘I have 28,870 units of energy, and it takes 23,000 units of energy to break through to the common seal realm. The remaining energy is enough…’

‘But…’

Xu Ning was cautious.?‘I have only been in the sect for a short period of time. My previous rapid advancements are still within an acceptable range, but if I break through to the common seal realm now, even if I enter the mystic realm and had my share of lucky encounters, it is just too fast. I will definitely get suspicions casted on me.’

However, although he had concerns, the desire to break through to the common seal realm still lingered in Xu Ning’s heart.

‘I can’t slow down my advancement. In a few days, I’ll find an excuse to go out for a while, then take the opportunity to advance. Anyway, I’m in the sect now, there’s no danger…’

Xu Ning thought to himself,?‘In this case, I’ll advance the Life Pill Sutra first.’

Afterwards, Xu Ning began to click on the “+” sign next to the Life Pill Sutra.

…

Consume 100 units of energy to advance the Life Force Dan Sutra?

Yes / No

…

“…”

Xu Ning repeated this process six times, consuming a total of 5,500 units of energy. He raised the Life Pill Sutra to the sixth level.

Xu Ning still had 23,370 units of energy left, which was still enough for Xu Ning to break through to the common seal realm.

‘Alchemy secret techniques are rare to begin with, and it is difficult to practice as the cost of practicing it is just high. It is different from cultivating martial arts secret techniques, as cultivating martial arts secret techniques only requires one’s own perception and hard work. However, in the case of alchemy secret techniques, in addition to these two factors, one also needs to practice with medicinal materials, which can be very expensive.’

‘Most famous alchemists required an accumulation of time and effort to get to where they are, so they are relatively old. As for me, I have reached level six in the Life Pill Sutra in just a short amount of time. This feels quite good.’

With Xu Ning’s current level of the Life Pill Sutra, he was considered an extremely high level alchemist in the entire State Jifeng.

As a void realm alchemist, Xu Ning could guarantee a 100% success rate when refining ordinary pills like Pure Source Pills. Only when refining high-quality pills would Xu Ning’s success rate drop to 60%. The success rate would drop even more so when refining rare pills like the Crystal Source Pills, as Xu Ning only had a 30% success rate when making them.

In other words, unless it involved a dao realm technique, Xu Ning had a chance of successfully refining various qualities of pill medicine.

‘In addition to having a higher success rate, when an excellent alchemist refines a pill medicine, not only will they not waste the medicinal properties of the raw materials, but they will also increase their medicinal properties of the raw materials. The pill medicines refined this way have more energy than the raw materials they used contained—this is the ability I need.’

‘In the future, I can buy the raw materials and refine Pure Source Pills myself. This way, my efficiency in terms of gathering energy will increase by at least 50%.’

After Xu Ning advanced the Life Pill Sutra, he took out a furnace from his rib storage space.

The pill furnace was about one meter wide and tall, so it was not very big.

The surface of the pill furnace was bright and clean. There were no strange decorations, making it look ordinary.

But Xu Ning knew that this was a tool used by a dao realm alchemy master when refining pill medicines. Moreover, it was also an all-attributed dao weapon.

Although it was not an actual weapon, when refining pill medicine, it could increase the probability of success. The lower the rarity of the pill, the higher the success rate and the higher quality of the pill.

When refining a good pill medicine, raw materials, refining techniques, and a pill furnace were indispensable.

Xu Ning checked the inside and outside of the furnace, then activated his qi and attribute power to figure out how to use the furnace.

Xu Ning was itching to get a taste of alchemy.

Unfortunately, Xu Ning did not have any spirit medicine with him.

‘I have to get some spirit medicine later and try refining some pills.’

Afterwards, Xu Ning put away the pill furnace.

“Since I’m back in the sect, I have to see the Sect Master first. After all, he is still my master. I should go and see him.”

Xu Ning packed up and went straight to the main peak.

“Senior Brother?”

As soon as Xu Ning stepped onto the main peak, he saw He Mingye waiting outside the house.

It had been three months since Xu Ning last saw He Mingye.

Back then, Xu Ning hadn’t even gone out to carry out his first sect mission.

“Junior Brother.”

After seeing Xu Ning, He Mingye also smiled. “Master is talking to Elder Yuancheng right now. It seems that he is talking about the mystic realm. After you guys came out, the mystic realm seemed to have just disappeared.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning nodded.

“What a shame. When I returned to the sect after carrying out my mission, I heard that the sect had discovered a new mystic realm. I was quite tempted, and I wanted to go in and see if there were any inheritances I could find, but now it looks like I can’t do that anymore.”

Although He Mingye said this, he looked calm.

“Junior Brother Xu, you must have gained a lot from entering the mystic realm. I think you have advanced to the attribute realm, right?”

He Mingye asked again.

“I did have my share of lucky encounters in the mystic realm.”

Xu Ning responded.

He Mingye nodded. “Practice well and strive to improve your strength as soon as possible.”

He Mingye was not jealous of Xu Ning’s rapid progress. “Although the Yuelan Sect is relatively stable in the State Jifeng, we are still facing a lot of external pressure. As the disciples of the faction get stronger, the Yuelan Sect will become more stable and prosperous.”

As the two talked, Elder Yuancheng walked out.

After greeting the two, Elder Yuancheng left in a hurry.

Xu Ning and He Mingye walked into the house together.

In the house, Mi Xingye sat at the table with a look of pity on his face.

The news of the disappearance of the mystic realm disappointed Mi Xingye.

“This is the first time you two came to see me together.”

When Mi Xingye saw Xu Ning and He Mingye walk in together, he looked much better.

Although the mystic realm disappeared, the two disciples under his command were both talented.

Especially factoring Xu Ning’s progress, it had greatly exceeded Mi Xingye’s expectations.

Because he knew that Xu Ning and He Mingye had a good relationship, Mi Xingye hoped that once He Mingye became the sect master in the future, Xu Ning would assist him.

This way, the Yuelan Sect would definitely be stable.

“Xu Ning, you must make good use of your gains in the mystic realm and strive to break through to the common seal realm as soon as possible.”

Like He Mingye, Mi Xingye did not ask about the specifics of Xu Ning’s gains, he just encouraged him.

Xu Ning’s gains in the mystic realm were all his own personal encounters, even to his master and senior brother.

“Understood, Master.”

Xu Ning responded.

After a short conversation with Xu Ning, Mi Xingye looked at He Mingye. “Mingye, why are you here?”

Xu Ning came to see Mi Xingye as a courtesy after returning to the sect, but He Mingye must have a purpose.

“Master, I came here to bid farewell.”

He Mingye said, “I feel that I have reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to further break through. Thus, I want to travel around and find an opportunity to break through.”

“Okay.”

After hearing this, Mi Xingye agreed without thinking.

The higher the realm, the harder it was to improve. Most of the time, one could no longer improve through hard work alone.

Mi Xingye had experienced this when he was young.

“Traveling around…”

After hearing He Mingye’s words, Xu Ning’s heart began to race.

He already wanted to find a reason to leave the sect and reach the common seal realm.
