Chapter 366 Several Years Later 2

Chao and Weng had only two purposes for coming here.

While having a small gathering with friends to celebrate the birthdays of the Zhong and Wu couple, we also waited together for the Sky Ranking to be refreshed this time.

The reason for celebrating their birthdays together was that Wu Shaogan was two months older than Zhong Cai, and it was their birthdays. Although they didn't intend to hold a banquet, close friends would still send some gifts... In addition, the couple was very affectionate, so Chao Hanxiao and Weng Yuxian chose to come at this time, one a month later and the other a month earlier.

Moreover, Chao Hanxiao and Weng Yuxian had already received the news that Wu Shaogan would be preparing to break through to the peak of the Fusion Realm starting next month.

By then, Wu Shaogan's combat power will have increased significantly, and if he were to spar with Chao Hanxiao again, it would probably no longer have the effect of honing or improving himself.

Therefore, this great battle between Chao Hanxiao and Wu Shaogan was the last one in the Fusion Realm.

Previously, Chao Hanxiao suppressed his cultivation level and did not reach the Palace stage—because he knew from Wu Shaogan that his combat power had not yet reached its peak.

Wu Shaogan also spent more time filling the Xuanli vortex within the Dao Palace, thus slowing down the speed of soul fusion.

In this fusion realm, cultivators mainly need to do two things: fill the vortex and improve the degree of fusion between the primordial soul and the accompanying treasure.

The filling vortex is a process that runs through the entire major realm, while breakthroughs in minor realms are judged by the degree of soul fusion.

In order to further hone his combat power, Wu Shaogan filled the vortex during the later stage of fusion. Now he has decided to quickly reach the peak. Once he adapts to his body at the peak, he can enter the Palace Building Realm very soon—not much later than Chao Hanxiao.

At that time, it was the competition for the sixth-level martial arts ranking.

·

—On another note.

Chao and Weng were no longer primarily concerned with Wu Shaogan's martial arts ranking, but rather with Zhong Cai's alchemist ranking.

This is naturally because Wu Shaogan has never fallen from the top spot since he took it, and Chao Hanxiao has never won against him. Those ranked behind him have been left far behind, so there is no need to pay much attention to him.

Zhong Cai, on the other hand, has been ranked second on the list for several months now thanks to her efforts over the past few years.

Last month, Zhong Cai made another breakthrough in alchemy, so I paid some attention to this ranking—I wonder if I can reach the top?

A puppet brought over some side dishes and drinks.

The Zhong and Wu couple, along with their two guests, sat around the stone table.

They were all very skilled.

There are quite a few small gatherings like this, the only difference being whether there are three or four people.

The group ate and drank while chatting for a few minutes.

On one side, Chao Hanxiao and Wu Shaogan were reviewing their previous sparring match, while on the other side, Zhong Cai was asking Weng Yuxian if there were any problems with her physique—after all, it was a physique created out of thin air, so the theory was certainly sound, but it was hard to say whether strange changes would occur during the actual cultivation process.

This can be considered a "follow-up examination" for Weng Yuxian, and Zhong Cai is still very concerned about this "patient".

Currently, Weng Yuxian's Hundred Birds Body has reached a minor stage of completion and there are no problems yet.

Weng Yuxian shook her head and smiled, "The pills Brother Zhong gave me are all very effective; there have never been any problems."

Zhong Cai took a satisfied sip of tea and said the same old thing: "If anything seems amiss, come find me immediately."

Weng Yuxian proactively refilled Zhong Cai's teacup and said earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhong. I understand."

A few brief words, and that was it.

Seeing that Wu Shaogan and Chao Hanxiao were still exchanging words, Zhong Cai listened carefully. Even though he had always focused on studying alchemy, he was now at the peak of the Suspended Illumination Realm and had already found the point of Soul Fusion. He should be able to successfully fuse with it after only one or two more seclusions. At that time, he could also use some of the combat techniques he had heard from Wu and Chao.

Weng Yuxian, needless to say, listened attentively, completely absorbed, not distracted at all...

It wasn't until half an hour later.

The group had a vague premonition, and they all quieted down and looked up at the sky.

The Heavenly Rankings are indeed being rolled out—

On the list of fifth-level alchemists, I was immediately struck by the one at the very top.

[First place: Zhong Cai.]

Although cultivators who are not at the Azure Sky Pill King level only see very brief information, the ranking is a foregone conclusion.

In an instant, a hint of pride flashed in Wu Shaogan's eyes.

Chao Hanxiao and Weng Yuxian both said to Zhong Cai, "Congratulations, Brother Zhong, on reaching the top of the list!"

Zhong Cai immediately flashed a bright smile: "Thank you, thank you."

Wu Shaogan also looked at Zhong Cai, revealing a rare, natural, and pleasant smile that didn't intimidate outsiders.

·

The changes on the Fifth-Level Sky Pill Master Ranking were not only of concern to Zhong Cai and his group; in fact, countless people across the entire continent were paying attention.

Because in the less than ten years that followed, Zhong Cai's ranking continued to climb at an extremely rapid pace.

Although it is calculated in "years", Zhong Cai climbs a position every two years on average, which is still extremely frightening.

Zhong Cai's achievements are truly astonishing.

Research on various special elixirs, restoration of various incomplete prescriptions, creation of various original new elixirs (suitable for both humans and rare beasts), development of antidotes for various poisons, and treatment plans for various special diseases...

Furthermore, the number of top-grade level 5 pills he can refine increases by at least a dozen or so every year.

Such talent and such mastery of alchemy are simply terrifying.

Upon seeing this, the Azure Sky Pill Kings naturally couldn't help but exchange shocked conversations with those around them, and much of the news was also spread.

After the news spread, countless people were astonished.

During this period, some patients with similar or slightly lower levels of difficult and complicated illnesses would also be sent to Qian Yuan Island through some channel. This undoubtedly added new achievements to Zhong Cai's record, because Zhong Cai had almost always studied and solved the problems he encountered, only the time it took varied - at the very least, he could greatly delay the onset of the disease, alleviate the suffering of patients, and allow patients to live for a longer period of time to prepare antidotes, etc.

Now, many Sky Pill Kings can see it clearly.

Last month, Zhong Cai learned at least two pill formulas and refined them to the highest quality. She also treated a patient with a difficult illness, completed a special medicinal soup formula, and developed ideas for two new pills.

Zhong Cai is currently capable of refining more than 120 kinds of top-grade pills.

In addition, he researched more than twenty-five antidotes for various poisons, eight of which were extremely difficult to prepare; dozens of new alchemical approaches; and twelve supplementary alchemical formulas...

For a moment, I couldn't finish speaking quickly.

Countless alchemists were speechless for a moment.

But not long after, countless shocking sounds rang out from all over the continent.

"Zhong Danwang is terrifying! I have never seen such a terrifying alchemist in my life!"

“Every year after hearing about Zhong Danwang’s deeds from my friends, I am always deeply moved…”

"Wu Douwang is so lucky to have such a powerful Daoist partner!"

"Zhong Danwang is indeed very powerful, but Wu Douwang is no ordinary person either! He has always been the top of the fifth-level Douwang rankings!"

"This couple, I wonder which continent they came from!"

Many discerning people focused their attention on a particular detail in the introduction.

"Young age".

Even now, Zhong Cai is already at the top of the fifth-level Pill King ranking, yet he is still a child.

In other words, he's not even fifty years old yet...

Although some people know that Zhong Cai will turn fifty in a month.

But it was precisely in this level that he reached the top.

After discussing it, countless alchemists fell silent again.

No one had ever imagined that such a master alchemist would exist in this world!

That's incredible.

Inside the Lingxian Sect.

Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan stood by the window, listening to a fifth-level alchemist report on the Sky Ranking.

Neither of them spoke.

After a long while, Xiao Zinuo chuckled and said, "I still underestimated Cai'er."

Xiao Zinuo previously thought that Zhong Cai should be able to reach the top of the list within a hundred years and suppress the entire fifth-level Sky Pill Master List, but he did not expect that even though he had already thought highly of Zhong Cai, Zhong Cai could still advance the ranking by several decades.

Xiao Zinuo couldn't help but think that Cai'er really could bring a surprise every now and then.

With such a disciple in the Lingxian Sect, they will be able to shine for a long time to come, or even become the pinnacle of the top alchemist forces in the near future!

Even just imagining it makes me so happy.

Without hesitation, Xiao Zinuo quickly prepared some resources and sent the puppet to Qian Yuan Island.

With such an outstanding disciple, the sect should reward him more.
