Chapter 614: Crimsonwolf Grass
"Wow, there is a human here at the Stonetreading County!" The crowd looked at Li Qiye as if he was an exotic beast. This scene continued throughout Li Qiye's walk with many passersby staring at him.
Shi Hao was quite embarrassed at being the center of attention of this many gazes, so he told Li Qiye: "Brother Li, don't mind it, very few humans ever come here."
Li Qiye only chuckled in response. He had experienced numerous adventures so such a matter was not worth his concern. He felt that this was very normal; this was the world of golems and demons, so humans were quite a rare sight. They were considered exotic creatures since rare things were considered precious. Meeting a human in this county was surely an uncommon event.
Shi Hao led him to the county's government office. As the envoy and an alchemist, he still had some status in this place. They went all the way to the center of the hall since he wanted to meet the county lord to turn in the bamboo stalks.
At the center, there were also many other envoys who were in a line, waiting to turn in the spirit medicines they had been cultivating. Shi Hao was afraid that Li Qiye would become impatient from waiting, so he spoke: "How about Brother Li take a walk around the government hall? I'm afraid it will be a while before I can finish turning in the medicines."
Li Qiye smiled and nodded his head as he began to walk around the office. Although the county was quite small in size, there were many cultivators in this humble office. Li Qiye's stroll didn't last too long; he leisurely walked into a medicinal garden.
It was a decent sized garden with many soulgrasses, spirit medicines, and lingzhi. Their ages spanned from several decades to a century; the oldest one being several thousand years old.
Such a medicinal garden was not enough to enter Li Qiye's eyes, but it was not a bad stash for a small land like the Stonetreading County. As he walked deeper into the fresh garden, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Oh my Crimsonwolf Grass, what do I have to do to get you to transform one more time? I've waited for you for centuries and done everything I could already. You are going to wither at this rate…"
Li Qiye came closer and saw a jar with a soulgrass inside. It was crimson red with the shape of a wolf's tail. It emitted six different bright colors in a pulsing cycle as if it could go out at any moment. This was a sign that the life of this soulgrass was dwindling and on the verge of death.
An old man stood before this soulgrass. He had normal features with white hair; only his nose was a bit strange. With a quick glance, Li Qiye knew that he was part of the demon race — a bulbul bird with a decent cultivation.
The old man's eyes narrowed and shot out a glint the moment Li Qiye got closer. His attitude was a bit fierce as he said: "Kid, who are you?"
This was understandable since Li Qiye was a stranger who suddenly ran into his medicinal garden. It would be strange if he was acting friendly.
Li Qiye answered with a smile: "I came with Shi Hao to turn in some Jadeblood Bamboo stalks. I got bored so I was taking a look around."
The old man relaxed after hearing this and smiled back at him: "Oh, so a friend of Little Shi Hao."
Li Qiye looked at the fiery soulgrass in front of him and casually asked: "So Grandpa knows Brother Shi Hao?"
The old man replied: "Little Shi Hao has okay talents for alchemy, but he is quite hardworking. It is a shame that I am too old and already have disciples as old as him. Otherwise, I might have taken him in as well."
At this point, the old man looked at Li Qiye and asked: "You are a human? That is quite a rare sight in the Stone Medicine World, let alone this county. Where are you from?"
Li Qiye kept on looking at the soulgrass while answering: "I am only a vagrant cultivator traveling everywhere and coincidentally arrived in this region."
The old man nodded approvingly and said: "It is good for young people to travel. Plus, your human race is very rare in this world, so if you travel a lot, maybe you will meet some noble ladies from the golem race. You should know that humans are very popular here, so you could become the son-in-law of some noble clan, making your status soar!"
The old man was very talkative. He could happily chat it up even though the two were strangers.
Li Qiye didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. However, the old man was right, both male and female humans were very popular in this place, especially to the golem race since humans were the best mates for reproduction.
Therefore, the old man bore no malicious intent when he said this. After all, this was not a bad proposal.
Li Qiye only smiled while shaking his head while saying: "This Crimsonwolf is about to die. If this continues on, I'm afraid it won't make it for three more months."
The old man suddenly became unhappy and said with a serious expression: "Child, one can eat indiscriminately but cannot speak indiscriminately."
He had spent a lot of effort to cultivate a Crimsonwolf Soulgrass with six transformation that was on the verge of getting the seventh. Now, Li Qiye's unlucky words naturally made him upset.
Li Qiye looked at the old man and said: "I am only speaking the truth. Crimsonwolf is not a bad soulgrass, it's only a bit worse than a Silkworm Dragon Soulgrass. It seems that you have spent a lot of effort taking care of it. If I am not mistaken, after its sixth transformation, it has been stuck like this for a long time. Recently, it was about to transform again but became stuck at this stage."
Li Qiye paused for a moment before continuing on: "You became impatient in the face of this stagnation and fed it more nutrients. My guess is that your fertilizer consisted of Silverwolf's blood mixed with Ash-steel Wood, Holy Ash-radish, and some Sacred Wolf Water."
The old man was startled and took a deep breath after hearing Li Qiye explain his process in such detail: "How did you know?" He was the only one who knew this matter and his fertilizer formula was a secret known only by him, yet Li Qiye was able to state it so smoothly.
Li Qiye answered with a smile: "It's nothing, I can smell the blood so I knew you used Silverwolf's blood, but this blood has to be mixed with Ash-steel Wood and Holy Ash-radish to take effect, and the Sacred Wolf Water is there to increase the potency."
Li Qiye only smiled when he saw the old man be sent into a daze, then he looked back at the Crimsonwolf Soulgrass and lightly said: "It seems that you have laboriously worked on this root so it is precious to you. One needs to truly put their heart into cultivating it in order to have good soulgrass, so I will give you a solution."
Li Qiye cleared his throat and said: "Your line of thought was not bad. This would normally work, but that would only be under regular circumstances. I see that the root of this grass is very pale. If I am not mistaken, you dug it out of a wetland, a place that buried many corpses. You moved it to this place and did a good job of caring for it, so why did it stop at six transformations?"
Li Qiye gently went on: "This is because your soil is not suitable. After many years, it finally reached the seventh transformation level, but now, it needs the land where it was born in order to powerfully soar to the next."
"However, you were impatient and couldn't wait any longer, thus you chose to use your unique fertilizer formula. Your soulgrass was born in a land of extreme Yin, but your Silverwolf's blood mix is of the fire affinity. The fertilizer not only failed to help grow the Crimsonwolf Soulgrass to the seventh transformation, it also weakened its medicinal source. At such an important moment, you weakening its medicinal source was the same as taking its life." Having said all of this, Li Qiye then glanced at the old man who was lost while listening to him.
The old man stood there looking silly since he was completely blown away. Li Qiye could tell his fertilizer and where he obtained the soulgrass with just a quick glance. This ability was too frightening and was indicative of a deep understanding of medicine cultivation. Even an old geezer like him was not a match.
Li Qiye could only smile while shaking his head when he saw the old man standing there in such a state and continued on: "You still have a chance to save it. Neutralize your fertilizer then go back to where you found the grass. Dig out some soil and bring it here, then place it around the soulgrass. Only then will you be able to save it."
"Really?" The old man finally returned from his shock after slightly shivering.
"Brother Li!" At this time, Shi Hao had finished turning in his stalks and was standing by the door while waving at Li Qiye.
Li Qiye gave the old man one last look. He didn't say anything else before walking away. The old man was frozen and didn't hear Shi Hao greeting him.
Shi Hao and Li Qiye left the government hall. Along the way, Shi Hao asked: "What were you talking about with the Alchemy Chief?"
Li Qiye looked at him and asked: "Alchemy Chief?"
Shi Hao answered: "That old man earlier. Grandpa Bai is the Alchemy Chief of the Stonetreading County and also the best alchemist here. He had reached the Alchemy Master level a very long time ago. I also heard that he is about to become an Alchemy Grandmaster."
An alchemist of this level staying at a small place like the Stonetreading County was quite rare; he was worthy of having a higher position.
"It was just some small talk." Li Qiye said with a smile, but he then noticed Shi Hao's uncontainable cheerful expression and asked: "It seems that something good happened to you?"
614 Teaser"Wow, there is a human here at the Stonetreading County!" The crowd looked at Li Qiye as if he was an exotic beast. This scene continued on during Li Qiye's walk with many passersby staring at him.
Shi Hao was quite embarrassed at being the center of attention of this many gazes, so he told Li Qiye: "Brother Li, don't mind it, very few humans ever come here.
Li Qiye only chuckled in response. He had experienced numerous adventures so such a matter was not worth his concern. He felt that this was very normal; this was the world of golems and demons, so humans were quite a rare sight. They were considered exotic creatures since rare things were considered precious. Meeting a human at this county was surely an uncommon opportunity.
Shi Hao led him to the county's government office. As the envoy and an alchemist, he still had some status in this place. They went all the way to the center of the hall since he wanted to meet the county lord to turn in the bamboo stalks.
At the center, there were also many other envoys who were in a line, waiting to turn in the spirit medicines they had been cultivating. Shi Hao was afraid that Li Qiye would become impatient from waiting, so he spoke: "How about Brother Li take a walk around the government hall? I'm afraid it will be a while before I can finish turning in the medicines."
Li Qiye smiled and nodded his head as he began to walk around the office. Although the county was quite small in size, there were many cultivators in this humble office. Li Qiye's stroll didn't last too long; he leisurely walked into a medicinal garden.
[collapse]Chapter 615: Aghast
"The County Lord said that I made a great contribution this time. After two more batches of Jadeblood Bamboo like this, he will recommend me to the prefecture. Even if I can't become a student for an alchemist below the Ancient Pine Demon Monarch, I will still be able to join under someone else."
"Just focus on studying alchemy and forget everything else." Li Qiye said with a smile: "Those alchemists can't teach you anything. I will be here for some time and will teach you pill refinement; try to learn as much as you can. If you want to go see a bigger world, then the prefecture government is not a bad choice. The Giant Bamboo Country is a country worth staying at."
"Really?" Shi Hao was taken aback by this suggestion. Although he didn't know Li Qiye's alchemy ranking, he understood that Li Qiye's skill at pill refinement was incredible.
Although they were apprentice and master since Li Qiye taught him, there was no official title. Li Qiye had never promised anything to Shi Hao, but now, Li Qiye himself said that he would teach Shi Hao pill refinement, so the situation had changed.
Li Qiye nonchalantly said: "Don't worry, I will teach you one or two arts for pill refinement. Even if you can't study all the different paths of alchemy, it would be enough for you to have a bright future at the Giant Bamboo Country. The only requirement is that you have to work hard; I will not teach someone who wishes to reap without sowing."
Shi Hao was ecstatic and quickly bowed to say: "Thank you, Brother Li, no, thank you, Master, for teaching me alchemy…"
Li Qiye stopped him and shook his head to say: "I am not a person who accepts disciples so easily. Today, I am teaching you pill refinement because of our fateful meeting. In the future, just call me brother and don't worry about formalities."
Shi Hao scratched his head and pondered for a moment before deciding to listen to Li Qiye: "If Brother Li says so, then I'll do just that."
They returned to Jadeblood Mountain, and Li Qiye continued to teach Shi Hao while cultivating. He had recovered completely and would have left if it wasn't for Shi Hao's alchemy education.
At this time, Li Qiye sealed the room with the pentagate again as he sat in a meditative pose while channeling his merit law and surging Life Wheel. A pearl-like drop of Longevity Blood rolled on a jade plate while his True Fate was up high, turning into different dao foundations.
The thirteen palaces were roaring as he separated each of them. Some contained treasures, some were cultivating spirit medicines, and others were refining Life Treasures…
Inside the master palace, the destiny stone he obtained from the Divine Dragon Mountain back at the Prime Ominous Grave was hovering in the sky. This stone was indeed amazing; it didn't need Li Qiye's help since it could refine itself using the fire of life. This self-refining process allowed it to take the initial form of a huge seal; it was about to become a treasure seal!
Li Qiye didn't interfere with this true fate treasure auto-refining itself and allowed it to do as it pleased.
Meanwhile, in the thirteenth palace, the stone egg took a spot all by itself. The truth was that Li Qiye still hadn't really researched this stone egg he obtained from the Heavenly Corpse Burial Ground.
In fact, this stone egg was unbearably arrogant, even the destiny stone from the Divine Dragon Mountain was not a match for it. It was not until Li Qiye opened the thirteenth palace that the stone egg conceded the palace to the stone and took the thirteenth palace spot all by itself.
Li Qiye was helpless against this arrogant egg. This egg had considered the thirteenth palace as its home, and he couldn't chase it away even if he wanted to.
"Hmzzz!" Li Qiye's True Fate emitted a bright radiance as chapters of universal laws escaped from it. Another identical copy of his True Fate appeared with rotating laws; one could see three souls inside.
Death Soul — this was the thing Li Qiye wanted to cultivate from the Death Scripture taken from the Prime Ominous Grave.
As one of the nine Grand Heavenly Scriptures, it was extremely heaven-defying and terrifying. It had no techniques or merit laws and only allowed Li Qiye to refine his body. This peerless scripture had four different types of cultivation arts: Death Soul, Death Chapter, Death Seal, and Death Record.
The Death Soul was the first thing he chose to cultivate since it could be said that it was crucial to him.
He had completely grasped the mysteries of the Death Scripture, so it was not difficult for him to create the Death Soul.
The Death Soul, at the moment, was copying Li Qiye's three souls inside his True Fate. A person had three souls, and a cultivator's three souls were part of his True Fate.
After successfully creating a Death Soul, one could divide this into three sections, or three souls, then hide them away.
With these three hidden Death Souls, as long as they were not destroyed, the person would be unkillable.
Even if their body was destroyed along with their True Fate, the Death Souls allowed for one to remain alive to rebuild a new True Fate and body.
This was an impossible thing for cultivators. One could rebuild a body, but it was the ultimate end if the True Fate was destroyed as well.
However, the Death Scripture was just that magical. As long as the Death Souls were still there, there was a chance for rebirth even if one's True Fate was destroyed.
Of course, this did not allow for eternal life since it only helped Li Qiye become unkillable.
Cultivators would live until their lifespan was used up; not even the Death Souls could save them from this rule. It only saved cultivators from unexpected death and not from the natural course of life.
Now, Li Qiye was thinking about where to hide his three Death Souls. It didn't matter where he hid them or if he sealed them in different items. As long as those items remained indestructible, then Li Qiye would always have a chance of revival.
He needed to ponder about the locations and the items — three appropriate places or items for him to seal his souls. He must also separate them and do it with the utmost secrecy. This would allow for him to live on until his lifespan runs out.
Once this task was carried out, there would only be two ways for him to die. The first would be if someone managed to find his three Death Souls and destroyed all three, and the second would be to wait until he died from old age!
Thus, Li Qiye was faced with an extremely crucial matter — to find appropriate locations and items to avoid death in the future. This was no easy task. Only Li Qiye knew that, in the distant future, he would face a terrible situation beyond one's imagination. Before that day comes, he must guarantee that his Death Souls remain untraceable!
Li Qiye was especially cautious about this matter because he understood what he would face in the future. The three locations must be places of utmost secrecy.
He continued to cultivate at Jadeblood Mountain while teaching Shi Hao pill refinement. In the blink of an eye, three more months had passed. Today, an uninvited guest came to Jadeblood Mountain.
"Grandpa Bai!" Shi Hao was surprised to see this guest. In this remote area, an Alchemy Chief like Grandpa Bai was a big character, so his sudden arrival scared the soul out of Shi Hao. He didn't expect to see Grandpa Bai personally walking here since, with just one order, there would be disciples running the errand for him.
Grandpa Bai arrived and ignored Shi Hao's astonishment; he grabbed Shi Hao's hand and asked in a flurry: "Tell me quick, where is your friend?"
Shi Hao was scared out of his wits after seeing Grandpa Bai's tense expression and thought that Li Qiye had caused big trouble. He stuttered and asked: "Grandpa Bai, w-what did Brother Li do?"
Grandpa Bai quickly answered: "Nothing. Take me to him, I need to consult with him!"
Shi Hao heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Li is inside."
Shi Hao found it quite odd. Consultation? Grandpa Bai was a famous chief in this area, so why would a big shot like him need to ask Brother Li questions?
"Take me to see him!" Grandpa Bai hurried into the house. It was more accurate to say that he was dragging Shi Hao along instead of being led by him inside. Grandpa Bai was itching to get on with it.
"What's happening?" Coincidentally, Li Qiye stepped out the moment Grandpa Bai was dragging Shi Hao inside and asked while slightly surprised.
"Brother Li… Grandpa Bai wants to see you." Shi Hao quickly responded then ran forward and whispered in his ear: "Grandpa Bai is a good person, so if there is anything, you can tell Grandpa Bai."
Shi Hao was scared by Grandpa Bai's hasty appearance and thought that Li Qiye had done something wrong.
Grandpa Bai ignored Shi Hao's whispering and bowed towards Li Qiye: "Our last meeting was too abrupt and this old man had eyes but couldn't see Mt. Tai. Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bai Weng, may I know Young Noble's name?"
"Li Qiye." Li Qiye looked at the old man and responded leisurely.
Chapter 616: Bai Weng's Recruitment
Shi Hao couldn't help but be startled. Grandpa Bai was a great character in the Stonetreading County; even the County Lord treated him with respect. He had been an envoy for a long time and besides the Ancient Pine Demon Monarch, he had never seen Grandpa Bai treat someone with such politeness.
Bai Weng looked at Li Qiye and rubbed his palms together and asked: "May I ask where you are from and which sect you belong to?"
"I'm only a vagrant cultivator with erratic travels." Li Qiye calmly said: "If Grandpa Bai has anything in mind, please say it."
Grandpa Bai quickly waved his hands in response: "Nothing, it's nothing like that at all. Young Noble Li is too courteous, you can just call me Bai Weng. I can't handle being called Grandpa Bai by Young Noble Li."
Shi Hao jumped out of his skin when he saw Bai Weng's attitude and couldn't believe his own ears at such humility.
Li Qiye didn't want to waste time and directly said: "Say your piece."
Bai Weng rubbed his hands again awkwardly and forced a smile to say: "It was thanks to Young Noble's guidance, or else all of my efforts would have been wasted. Really, thank you, your words woke me up from being lost. My Crimsonwolf grass would have been ruined.
"After receiving your pointers, I went to the wetland and put soil from there around the grass. Just like you said, the grass successfully transformed for the seventh time. I can't express my gratitude enough. Your great knowledge puts this old man to shame."
Initially, after receiving Li Qiye's pointers, Bai Weng was very doubtful. However, seeing the grass that was on the verge of death, he had no choice but to take a risk and use Li Qiye's method.
A miracle happened after he took some soil from the wetland and put it around the grass. Not long after, the grass' life recovered and in the following days, it successfully transformed.
How could Bai Weng not be shocked? He understood immediately that he had met a wise master. With just a glance, Li Qiye was able to analyze his unique fertilizer, and he even knew where he obtained the grass from. With a casual remark, Li Qiye managed to not only save the grass, he also helped it transform successfully.
Such familiarity with alchemy principles and cultivation meant that he was a wondrous alchemist, one that was far greater than Bai Weng. The alchemy dao didn't only consist of pill refinement, plant cultivation was another aspect.
Bai Weng knew that he had met a great alchemy genius so he quickly reacted and let go of all his business to run to Jadeblood Mountain to find Li Qiye. Luckily for him, Li Qiye still hadn't left.
Li Qiye only nodded his head at the influx of praises from Bai Weng and waited to hear more.
Bai Weng cleared his throat and forced a smile again before speaking: "Young Noble Li, there is one matter that might interest you."
Li Qiye looked at him and waited for him to say more.
Bai Weng didn't dare to slow down after seeing Li Qiye's waiting appearance and said: "Our lord adores talent. Recently, Her Majesty started looking for talented young alchemists. I wonder if Young Noble is interested?"
"Looking for alchemists?" Li Qiye's eyes narrowed as he spoke: "To be an alchemist for Giant Bamboo?"
"As long as Young Noble's alchemy skill is capable, maybe you will become the Alchemy Chief of the entire country!" Bai Weng quickly added.
Shi Hao was dumbstruck after hearing Bai Weng. Being the Alchemy Chief of an entire country was very amazing; it was a high ranked position that allowed one to be an unreachable existence. Shi Hao never even dared to dream about it, so how could he not be stunned upon hearing Bai Weng's attempt at recruitment?
"Giant Bamboo Country…" Li Qiye murmured as a figure as gentle as water uncontrollably appeared in Li Qiye's mind.
Bai Weng quickly added: "Young Noble Li, although our Giant Bamboo is not comparable to imperial lineages, we are a big country that has stood strong in the Alchemy Realm for millions of years. If you stay here, I'm sure your future will be golden."
Li Qiye's mind returned to the present. He laughed after hearing Bai Weng. He nodded his head and said: "The capital of the Giant Bamboo Country is indeed a place worth remembering; I also want to go there once."
He had thought about visiting the memorable Giant Bamboo's capital after arriving at the Stone Medicine World. After many years, his memories of the place were still there and caused him to become emotional.
Bai Weng quickly answered: "I will go arrange for it immediately and recommend Young Noble to Her Highness!"
Li Qiye only chuckled. He would go to the capital not for a promising future or to see the king, but for a simple sightseeing trip. If he really wanted to go, then even the heavily guarded capital wouldn't be able to stop his advance.
Bai Weng assumed that Li Qiye wanted to be the national Alchemist Chief so he quickly said: "Could Young Noble try to refine one cauldron?"
Li Qiye looked at him and said: "You want me to refine a batch right now?"
Bai Weng smiled awkwardly and said: "This old man isn't implicating anything and trusts your abilities. However, I need to recommend you to the Ancient Pine Demon Monarch and my words alone are not enough. This needs to be verified by the monarch in order for it to go smoothly."
Li Qiye replied with a smile: "I don't need to prove anything, this is no big deal to me."
Bai Weng was a little helpless in the face of this and said: "Young Noble Li… umm…" He knew that Li Qiye was an amazing alchemist, but he needed proof if he was going to recommend Li Qiye to the Demon Monarch. He wouldn't let such a rare, young alchemist slip from him.
Although this left him in a sticky situation, he was not angry or annoyed at all. As an alchemist, he knew that it was normal for a talented alchemist to be arrogant; this type of person was always popular everywhere.
He responded: "Young Noble Li, this old man trusts your skills one hundred percent, but… if I don't have anything as proof, then it would be very hard to recommend you to Her Majesty."
"Brother Li, this is a rare opportunity." Shi Hao also calmed down and whispered to Li Qiye: "The Ancient Pine Demon Monarch is one of the eighteen monarchs of our Giant Bamboo and is held in high esteem in Her Majesty's eyes. With his recommendation, you will surely become a court alchemist."
Li Qiye only chuckled since he wasn't interested in becoming a court alchemist or anything else for that matter. He stared at Bai Weng then back at Shi Hao and smilingly said: "I appreciate Grandpa's enthusiasm, and out of consideration for Shi Hao, I will refine something once for you to see. But right now, I don't have suitable alchemy ingredients."
Li Qiye's proud attitude caused Shi Hao's heart to thump, but to his bewilderment, Bai Weng was not angry at all. After hearing about his lack of ingredients, Bai Weng took a whole bunch out and said: "I have some right here. I coincidentally obtained a batch of materials for a five transformations fate pill; all the things you need are here."
Li Qiye looked at the old man and said: "It seems that you have come prepared."
Bai Weng let out a wry laugh. He spent a lot of time before managing to gather enough ingredients for a five transformations fate pill. Today, he brought them here just to test Li Qiye's abilities.
Fate pills were the hardest to refine for alchemists, and a five transformations pill could show their ability. In order to refine a pill to this level, the pill would need fifty percent purity.
This type of pill was meant for Ancient Saints. There needs to be sufficient five transformations ingredients that could turn into a fate pill successfully in order for it to be suitable for Ancient Saints.
However, this was easier said than done. It was quite a challenge for the majority of alchemists. Because of this, a five transformations fate pill was a crossroads and challenge for alchemists. If successful, then one would be considered an Alchemy Grandmaster. If the quality was good, then maybe that person would qualify to be a Profound Alchemist.
While Bai Weng took out all the ingredients, Li Qiye also took out his Myriad Heavenly Cauldron. At this time, the cauldron's shape had changed. Prior to this, it was a frog, but now, it appeared to be very ordinary looking.
Back at the lost alchemy garden of the immortals in the rich field, the cauldron had undergone a transformation. It should have done so far in the past since it had devoured countless heavenly medicines and immortal grasses throughout the years. The even more incredible part was that it drank some Myriad Star Water. It had been waiting for the right time, but it had never come. It wasn't until it stayed at the lost garden that it seized the chance. After the successful transformation, it turned back into a primal shape and appeared to be no different from an ordinary cauldron.
The truth was that it was the number one Heavenly Cauldron throughout the ages and was peerless. Its usage was not limited to refining pills, it could also defy the heavens by changing fate itself.
A huge cauldron appeared before Shi Hao and Bai Weng, much to their astonishment due to its ordinary looks. Bai Weng assumed that since Li Qiye had great alchemy skills, he would have a good Heavenly Cauldron as well, but this huge cauldron was very ordinary.
Bai Weng spoke at this time: "We should leave for a bit." As an alchemist who had studied the dao of alchemy for a thousand years, he knew the rules of alchemists. Others should leave when an alchemist was about to refine medicine.
"No need." Li Qiye shook his head and said: "This will be a piece of cake. There is no need to leave, I'll be done in a second."
