Chapter 393
5-Line Holy Pill
After a while, after the old ghost Zangmo confirmed that he had gotten rid of the old ancestor Fentian, he hid in a cave to recuperate, preparing to go out again after his injuries were healed.
However, while he was hiding inside and sitting cross-legged on the ground to recuperate, he seemed to notice something and suddenly turned his head to look outside the cave.
"Who?"
"come out!"
The old ghost Zangmo tensed up his nerves and stared at the cave entrance.
"Haha! I didn't expect you to be so alert. Even though you're injured like this, you can still find me."
"Don't be nervous, old friend!"
The Jade-faced Rakshasa walked in slowly from outside the cave and looked at him with a smile.
Seeing that it was this familiar person who walked into the cave, the old ghost Zangmo remained vigilant, and his expression became even more solemn.
"We ran separately. I didn't expect you to be able to escape the pursuit of Patriarch Fentian. But why didn't you take good care of your injuries and come all the way to find me?"
"Could it be that you saw that I was seriously injured and thought there was an opportunity for you to take advantage of me?" The old ghost Zangmo sneered.
"Haha! You are really a mean person who is thinking too much of others. We have been friends for many years, so why can't I come over to ask about your injuries? Why do you think I am so sinister?"
The Jade-faced Rakshasa approached with a smile.
"Stop! Do you think I can't guess? Aren't you planning to kill me while I'm seriously injured so that you can make a human pill? You've never given up on replenishing the power of the Heaven-Defying Pill, so stop pretending."
"If I have misunderstood you, then you should leave immediately and don't come back within three days, so that I won't suspect you." The old ghost Zangmo looked at her intently.
The Jade-faced Rakshasa stopped and finally put away his smile.
"You are quite alert. It seems that a sneak attack on you is not going to work. Since you have already guessed it, I won't pretend."
"You are more seriously injured than me now. I want to kill you and refine you into a human pill to replenish the medicinal power of the Heaven-Defying Pill. What do you think?"
The Jade-faced Rakshasa spoke in a cold voice, releasing his murderous intent without disguising it.
“Hahaha… you really are planning to refine me into a human pill, but you think you can defeat me just because I’m seriously injured? How naive!”
"You want to refine me into a human pill, and I also want to refine you into a human pill."
"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you come here on your own." The old ghost Zangmo looked at her with a cold gaze.
"Very good! Since both of us have this idea, only one of us can survive today. Either you die or I die!"
The Jade-faced Rakshasa's eyes turned cold, and he finally rushed forward...
……
Tianfeng City.
Three days had passed at this time, and everyone was looking at the handsome young man with his eyes closed, gradually becoming impatient.
All the contestants had already finished refining the elixir, and he was the only one left. He hadn't even started refining the elixir yet.
The flowers they were waiting for are almost withering.
In the third round, except for Long Xuan, the scores of all the contestants have been announced.
Due to material limitations, most people got extremely low scores, and only more than 20 people passed.
Among them, Long Yuyao, Feng Shuang and Wang Wu tied again and got a score of 85 points.
As expected, Patriarch Fentian and Qin Dan got the highest scores, both with extremely high scores of 90 points.
The reason why it is not a full score is because the score for the third round of competition has to leave a margin for the fourth-grade elixir.
Otherwise, a third-grade elixir could get full marks. If someone really managed to refine a fourth-grade elixir, it would be difficult to score it.
Most of the contestants had already left the venue, and only a few alchemy geniuses watched impatiently, including Patriarch Fentian, Qin Dan, Long Yuyao, Feng Shuang, Wang Wu...
"What the hell is this kid doing? If you want to admit defeat, just do it now. Why are you wasting your energy here?" Feng Shuang finally lost his patience and shouted loudly in annoyance.
Long Yuyao looked at him and said coldly, "Keep your voice down. All the judges agree that the reason he didn't open his eyes for three days is that he fell into a state of enlightenment." "This state is hard to come by. Once he wakes up, he is likely to realize something extraordinary."
"What he has figured out may very well be the key to victory or defeat, so please don't disturb me."
"Humph!" Feng Shuang showed a look of disdain and sneered, "What can he realize? Even if what he realizes is amazing, the elixir he refines can only be a third-grade elixir, with a maximum score of 90 points."
"It's impossible to refine a 90%-grade pill with the junk materials on his desk. He's doomed to fail."
Feng Shuang sneered. Even though his score was not the highest in the audience, the surname of the Fentian Patriarch was Feng. As long as his score was the highest in the audience, that would be enough.
Compared to the noisy juniors, the judges were much quieter at this time.
Long Xiaoyao looked at it nervously, glancing at the sky from time to time, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
At this point, three full days had passed, and Long Xuan had less than half a day left to refine the elixir.
If this boy doesn't open his eyes, and he doesn't have enough time to refine the elixir, he will really get zero points. He is almost dying of anxiety at this moment.
He wanted to wake Long Xuan up, but was afraid to interrupt his sudden realization. For a moment, his expression was conflicted.
Feng Tiancheng looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Haha, I have given you time. Now the end of the competition is almost here. Even if he can wake up now, I don't believe he can refine something so amazing in such a short time."
"You'd better return those five top-grade poisonous insects to me first, quickly!"
"What's the hurry?" Long Xiaoyao glanced at him and said, "Until the last moment, any miracle can happen."
"Perhaps the genius of my clan has really realized something extraordinary this time. You should be prepared to give me five more natal Gu worms."
"I hope you won't become a useless person after losing ten of your life-defining Gu worms. Otherwise, I will blame myself."
At this time, Long Xiaoyao finally looked relieved.
He just saw Long Xuan's eyebrows move. If nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up soon.
He didn't have to wait long. Not long after he finished speaking, Long Xuan finally slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I just took a nap by accident. I still have time, so I'll start refining the elixir now."
Long Xuan looked at the sky and saw that there were only a few hours left. He felt a little anxious. The time was really tight. He knew that he needed to refine far more than one elixir.
At this time, he did not care about hiding his incompetence. He created five clones from his body, and took out five low-quality alchemy furnaces from his storage ring and threw them at the five clones respectively.
In this situation, he could only use his clone to speed up the process of refining the elixir.
He has successfully researched the art of combining elixirs, and he has also successfully developed a new elixir recipe that requires this art. He named the new elixir recipe the Five Elements Holy Pill.
The Five Elements Holy Pill recipe requires a total of five materials, namely the Metal Element Holy Pill, the Wood Element Holy Pill, the Water Element Ascension Pill, the Fire Element Ascension Pill, and the Earth Element Ascension Pill.
After a Linghai peak Gu cultivator who cultivates gold-attributed spiritual power consumes the Gold Element Holy Pill, there is a 10% chance that he can break through to become a Gu King.
After a Gu practitioner who cultivates wood-attributed spiritual power eats the Wood-Element Holy Pill, there is a 10% chance that he will break through to become a Gu King, and so on.
If five pills of each of these five kinds of elixirs are thrown into an alchemy furnace and then further refined, the medicinal power can be further sublimated and turned into a more powerful Five Elements Holy Pill, which can be taken by any Gu cultivator with any of the Five Elements attributes.
The Five Elements Holy Pill contains five kinds of spiritual power. The five kinds of spiritual power can form a five-element cycle, causing a greater impact on the bottleneck.
If a holy pill with a single attribute can only increase the breakthrough rate by 10%, then once the five holy pills are combined together, the medicinal power will form a five-element cycle, and the resulting medicinal power will not be as simple as the sum of five ones.
By then, the bottleneck will be impacted by the power of the Five Elements circulation, and the success rate of breakthrough will be a terrifying 90%.
Strictly speaking, the Five Elements Holy Pill has surpassed the category of the third-grade elixir.
The Five Elements Holy Pill is the product of a total of twenty-five third-grade elixirs fused together. The medicinal power and spiritual power are also the product of the superposition of twenty-five pills.
In this case, the concentration of spiritual power in this pill is comparable to that of a fourth-grade pill.
Although the Five Elements Holy Pill is a third-grade pill, it is better than a fourth-grade pill.
Long Xuan didn't believe that he couldn't get the highest score by taking out this kind of elixir that was equivalent to a fourth-grade elixir. (End of this chapter)
