Chapter 265 Isn’t Chu Ning a disciple of Elder Yan?
The beam of light from Lu Sizhong's alchemy furnace instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The alchemy furnace glows, this is the best! This is a truth that even a first-grade alchemist knows.
This principle applies to all elixirs.
Lu Sizhong refined a top-grade elixir.
A top-grade fifth-grade elixir.
A top-grade elixir made from remnant pills with additional medicinal ingredients.
First time refining! These three points, at any time, any point has already firmly won the first place.
However, when the mist around Chu Ning dissipated, everyone saw Chu Ning and the alchemy furnace standing there, and there was uncertainty in their eyes for the first time.
Unfortunately, these monks are not Chinese, otherwise they would definitely shout at this moment: If we have Yu, why do we have Liang?
Chu Ning, a newcomer recognized by all the masters, is very likely to create a new elixir.
Either of these two is enough to cause a shock in the Dan domain.
There is no need to explain the former. As the Dan Domain has developed to this day, it is generally recognized that a new elixir will appear approximately every five thousand years.
It only appears once every five thousand years, and this alone is enough to crush the newcomers in the competition.
Of course, this new medicine was improved upon Master Wan's remaining elixir, but even so, it was already dazzling enough.
Take the Nirvana Powder of Lu Yingguang of the Seven Fire Gate for example. Nirvana Powder was not created by Lu Yingguang alone, but was passed down from Lu Yingguang’s family. In the Alchemy Realm, anyone who masters a new elixir can support a family for thousands of years.
"It's a top-grade elixir. If it weren't for Chu Ning, Lu Sizhong would definitely be number one."
"Lu Sizhong is definitely a genius. It's just that he was unlucky to meet Chu Ning, who is even more evil."
The alchemists who were watching felt sorry for Lu Sizhong. At this moment, there was no joy on Lu Sizhong's face for refining a top-grade elixir. He did not even choose to open the furnace. Instead, he put away the furnace and looked at Chu Ning.
Seeing Lu Sizhong's actions, everyone knew that Lu Sizhong was making his position clear. As long as Chu Ning's pill was successfully refined and it was indeed a new pill, he would be willing to admit defeat.
"Chu Ning, open the alchemy furnace."
Wan Jiren spoke slowly. The reason why he said those words before was not just because he felt that the combination given by Chu Ning was somewhat reasonable. If it was just reasonable, how could a master like him not be able to deduce it.
He was shocked by the words Chu Ning transmitted.
Not only did Chu Ning tell him the ingredients and dosage of the remaining pill, but he also told him exactly what it was and what was more important was that Chu Ning told him the efficacy of the new pill he had refined.
In this competition, whether it was Lu Sizhong or Tong Shouxian, Wan Jiren would know that they were not 100% sure about the elixir. They were just inferring based on pharmacology and felt that these herbs could be put together to refine the elixir. As for what effect the elixir would have in the end, they could only have a general direction.
They just need to refine the elixir, and leave the rest of the efficacy of the elixir to fate.
But the fact that Chu Ning was able to explain the effects of the new elixir only proved one thing, that Chu Ning did not use any shortcuts and that he achieved this entirely by relying on his attainments in alchemy.
The alchemy furnace was opened, and Chu Ning looked at the three red pills in the furnace with a slight smile on his face.
When everyone at the scene saw Chu Ning take out three pills from the furnace, they cheered again.
The elixir was successfully refined! Chu Ning had already created half of the miracle, and the remaining half was the efficacy of the elixir.
"This pill is useless to cultivators."
Chu Ning opened his mouth slowly, but his words caused an uproar at the scene.
If it is useless to cultivators, then it means that a useless pill has been refined. "This pill is useful to monster beasts!"
Useful against monsters? Many alchemists at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment. There were many elixirs that were useful against monsters, but the alchemists made very few.
There are monsters in the Nine Realms, but they are not of the same species. No alchemist would have the time to make pills for the monsters.
Unless, the price offered by those powerful monsters is very high.
But even so, when alchemists want to make elixirs for monsters, they do it secretly and will not reveal the news.
The Ten Thousand Demons Realm among the nine central regions was the region that paid the least attention to the newcomer competition in the Alchemy Realm. This was because the Sihai Trading Company had started a gambling game and some monsters had placed bets out of boredom. Otherwise, no monster would pay attention to the competition between new human alchemists.
However, at this moment, these monsters were alert. This pill was useful to them. What effect could it have? "After taking this pill, monsters can avoid thunder tribulations when they break through to the next realm. However, it is only useful for monsters in the spirit transformation realm."
When Chu Ning said this, all the alchemists at the scene were stunned.
Is this true or false?
The lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans, but the overall number of monsters is no match for humans, because monsters have to go through tribulation, and the success rate of this tribulation is very low.
Although human cultivators will encounter barriers when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage and will suffer backlash if they fail to break through, this does not exist before the Nascent Soul stage. This makes the number of human Jindan cultivators extremely large. Even though it is difficult to break through the Nascent Soul stage, they are naturally more numerous than the demon race based on the huge base.
"Quick, go inform the clan leader!"
In the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, the demons who were watching this scene were instantly in a frenzy and immediately reacted by reporting the situation to the strong men in the tribe.
If the effect of this elixir is just as this human boy said, it will be a big deal for the demon race.
"Elder, I just got the news that an alchemist in Dan Territory has refined a new elixir that can help our demon race avoid the thunder tribulation when we break through."
"Chief, good news! Our demon tribe is blessed!"
Some powerful demon clan members who were in seclusion were also alarmed by their clansmen at this moment. When they learned what had happened, although they had doubts in their hearts, they decided to pay attention to it.
However, just as these strong men focused their attention on the light curtain prepared by Sihai Trading Company, the image on the light curtain disappeared and turned into darkness.
"What's going on? Why is the picture gone?"
"Is it the work of Sihai Trading Company?"
"What does Sihai Trading Company mean by this? They turned off the screen at the critical moment."
The monsters were angry, and the general manager of Sihai Trading Company, who was in charge of the Ten Thousand Monsters Domain at the moment, was trembling slightly even though he was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Everyone, this is not what I did. I have been in the Ten Thousand Demons Territory for many years and have had the pleasure of cooperating with you all. How could I do such a thing!"
Lin Luren hurriedly explained. Facing the locked auras of several clan leaders from the Ten Thousand Demons Territory, he knew that if he didn't explain, his business would be gone in the next moment.
"This broadcast comes from Danyu. I can't turn off the screen. It's very likely that something happened in Danyu."
He was telling the truth. This time, the business branches in each domain were only responsible for receiving bets and broadcasting the competition. Now that the image on the light screen had disappeared, it was the Dan Domain that cut off the image.
Either there are powerful people in Dan Territory that prevent the business from broadcasting, or the elder in charge of this matter cut off the broadcast.
In Lin Luren's heart, he was more certain it was the latter, and it should have been done by a certain elder.
There is no need for the Dan Domain to do this, and the purpose of the business is very simple. If the efficacy of the elixir is real, then the business will negotiate with the alchemist to purchase these elixirs, and finally resell them to the monsters in the Wan Yao Domain and earn several times the difference.
"Don't think we don't know what your Sihai Trading Company is planning."
An old and cold voice sounded, and Lin Luren's body trembled. Even this person was alarmed? This news spread too fast.
"I will personally go to Dan Territory for this matter. If your Sihai Trading Company still wants to continue operating in my Wan Yao Territory, you must give an explanation."
After the cold voice finished speaking, Lin Luren felt his whole body lighten. Knowing that the person had left, he showed a bitter smile on his face.
"That elder really screwed me over."
The only way to explain is to make concessions to the Ten Thousand Demons Domain. Otherwise, with this person's strength and background in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain, once he speaks, Sihai Trading Company will really have a hard time moving forward in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain.
Dan City.
Yun Anlan's pretty face had a solemn expression. She didn't know what had happened in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain, but it was indeed she who gave the order to cut off the transmission of information from the Ten Thousand Demons Domain.
The business of Sihai Trading Company spreads across all the Central Regions, and also involves the Ten Thousand Demons Region. As the elder of the trading company, she knows how much profit the trading company makes in the Ten Thousand Demons Region every year.
The same grade of elixir has completely different prices when used for cultivators and when used for monsters.
The best-selling product of the company in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain is elixirs. A elixir that costs ten spirit crystals to refine can only be sold for a maximum of fifty spirit crystals in other domains.
The profit of ordinary elixirs is only three times, and some more precious and rare ones can be sold for five times.
But if it is a pill taken by a monster, the selling price is at least ten times the cost, and can be as high as twenty or even thirty times.
The monsters in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain have a great demand for elixirs, and there are many mountains in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain, so the elixirs and refining materials far exceed those in other domains.
The business relies on selling monsters to the Ten Thousand Monsters Domain, purchasing elixirs and refining materials from the Ten Thousand Monsters Domain at low prices, and then reselling them to other domains at high prices. As a result, the profits are extremely terrifying.
Yun Anlan knew very well that if the efficacy of the elixir that Chu Ning described was true, it would definitely cause shock among the demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm.
And she wanted to find Chu Ning and sign an exclusive supply agreement before the monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Territory knew about this.
Yun Anlan already had an idea in his mind, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
…
In the square, all the monks had strange expressions when they heard Chu Ning's words.
The reason for the weirdness is not Chu Ning's description of the efficacy of this pill. Although such a pill has never appeared in the history of the Pill Domain, it is not ruled out as a possibility.
How can we verify the reason why everyone has strange expressions?
To verify the efficacy of this pill, it would need to be taken by a monster beast, and it must be a monster beast that is about to break through.
There are monsters in the Dan Realm, but those that are about to break through are hard to find at the moment.
Because of the existence of the Ten Thousand Demons Domain, there is some kind of agreement between the human race and the demon race. The demon beasts in other domains generally settle in certain mountains.
If there are monsters coming down the mountain to do evil, human cultivators can naturally kill them at will, but if it is a monster in the mountains, human warriors cannot attack it at will.
For example, if the most powerful monster in a mountain range is at the Nascent Soul level, then only a cultivator at the Nascent Soul level can attack the monster in that mountain range.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Strong men above the Nascent Soul stage cannot take action unless the monsters in the mountains are slaughtering humans on a large scale.
The reason for this agreement is that, in addition to the fact that the monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Domain are quite powerful, the main reason is that other domains also need the existence of monsters.
Everything in the world has its own function.
If there are no other living creatures on a mountain range, then this mountain range is a dead mountain. No spiritual medicine will grow there, and even the spiritual energy will be thinner than in other areas.
Human cultivators discovered this very early, but the reason is still unknown.
So now, how do we verify Chu Ning's pill?
Without verification, the final result of this competition cannot be determined.
"Senior Huang, Senior Li, our Sihai Trading Company is willing to provide monsters to verify the efficacy of this pill."
Above the square, a female cultivator in a green dress appeared. The woman was wrapped in a long dress, revealing her beautiful body.
The woman was Yun Anlan.
Huang Ruyuan and Li Youxia on the high platform saw Yun Anlan appear. They looked at each other and understood the purpose of the woman from Sihai Trading Company.
"Chu Ning will make the decision on this matter."
Huang Ruyuan did not give Yun Anlan an answer, but waved his hand, and the spiritual shield covering the square dissipated.
Yun Anlan smiled slightly and fell towards the square.
"Mr. Chu, I am Yun Anlan."
Yun Anlan landed on the square and bowed to Chu Ning.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes. He couldn't see through the cultivation level of the woman in front of him, which meant that this woman should be a powerful spirit transformation expert.
"This junior is not worthy of being called a senior. I greet Senior Yun."
"Mr. Chu, women don't like being called senior the most. Senior sounds old."
There was a hint of resentment on Yun Anlan's face, and coupled with the charm emanating from her whole body, it instantly made people feel that Chu Ning was a heartless man.
"Yun Anlan, don't you think it's shameful to pretend to be young?"
On the Danshan Sect's stands, Qi Shiyun's expression changed slightly the moment Yun Anlan landed in the square. At this moment, her figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Chu Ning.
"I don't think so. Mr. Chu, do you think it's better for women to be younger or older?"
Yun Anlan ignored Qi Shiyun and threw a coquettish glance at Chu Ning.
"Tender things have their own merits, and old things have their own charms." Chu Ning subconsciously responded, but when he saw the cold gaze of his master, he immediately fell silent.
"Chu Ning is my disciple." Qi Shiyun said coldly.
When Yun Anlan heard Chu Ning's words, her eyes were filled with disbelief. She had heard about Chu Ning's deeds from the disciples of Danshan Sect. Wasn't Chu Ning a disciple of Elder Yan of Danshan Sect? But she knew more clearly that Qi Shiyun would not lie in front of so many people just to fight with her, and Chu Ning did not deny it out loud.
Chu Ning looked curiously at her master and Yun Anlan. Her intuition told her that there was a grudge between her master and this woman.
"Senior Wan, the competition has come to an end by now, and the results should be out. My Sihai Trading Company is willing to provide demon beast verification pills so that everyone can know the results quickly."
Yun Anlan turned her gaze to Wan Jiren. The cultivators watching the scene agreed with what she said. At this time, everyone wanted to know the result as quickly as possible.
It would be the best thing if Sihai Trading Company could produce a monster that is about to break through.
Wan Jiren nodded and was about to speak, but the next moment his eyes suddenly turned to the sky, and Li Youxia and Huang Ruyun also looked up at the sky at the same time.
There were clouds dancing in the sky above Dan City, and a dark cloud suddenly covered half of Dan City.
The sudden appearance of the black cloud, especially the evil spirit that emanated from the rolling black cloud, made many cultivators feel uneasy.
In the central area of Dan City, an old man in a Dan Tower, who looked like a monk in meditation, slowly opened his eyes, frowned, and was about to stand up. The next moment, a voice was heard from the sky above Dan City.
"I was just passing by, and I didn't expect to be discovered by you fellow Taoists. So I'll say hello to you old friends."
An old man in a black robe walked out from the dark clouds in the sky, and the next moment the dark clouds that made everyone feel depressed instantly dissipated.
The old man showed with his attitude that he had no ill intentions in coming to Danyu.
When the old man in black robe said this, Huang Ruyuan and the other two twitched their lips. Passing by?
Can you find a better reason?
Even if you were just passing by, who would have noticed you? Wasn't it you who created the scene? "Since you are here, Brother Black Dragon, please come down and have a chat."
Finally Huang Ruyuan spoke. The three of them knew the purpose of this person's visit. He came for the pill refined by Chu Ning.
But how did the Ten Thousand Demons Domain get the news? To Huang Ruyuan and the other two, the gambling game of the Four Seas Trading Company could not attract their attention, so they did not know that the Four Seas Trading Company had broadcast the scene of this competition in all the regions.
"Since Fellow Daoist Huang has invited me, I must give him face."
The old man in black robe laughed loudly and landed above the square, but his eyes were immediately fixed on Chu Ning.
"Is this the newcomer competition held by your Dan Territory? Yes, everyone looks righteous, but I guess they are all prostitutes and thieves...Haha, I don't know many words, but in short, everyone is trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful."
Chu Ning and the others were silent. Are you sure this is a compliment? After the black-robed old man finished praising Chu Ning and the others, he turned his gaze to Huang Ruyuan and the other two and continued, "There are so many geniuses in the Dan Domain, and it is also inseparable from the high-rise buildings built by fellow Taoists."
If you can't speak, say less.
Huang Ruyuan felt helpless. If he didn't know that the Black Dragon Demon King really didn't understand the human vocabulary, he would really suspect that the other party did it on purpose.
That's called having a bird's-eye view!
"Hey, this pill smells familiar to me. Little brother, is this pill made for my demon clan?"
The Black Dragon King turned to Chu Ning again and asked with a smile.
"This elixir of mine is indeed useful to the demon race."
Seeing that the three grandmasters did not stop him, Chu Ning knew that Danyu should not be exclusive to the demon race. It was obvious that this powerful demon race came for the elixir in his hand. As for why he had to put on such a show, it was simply because the efficacy of the elixir had not been determined yet.
If he had stated his purpose directly, and the efficacy of the elixir was not as he claimed, this powerful demon would have been embarrassed, so he had staged such a scene to deceive himself.
"Since it is useful to my demon clan, that's perfect. But you need my demon clan to test the pills. I just happened to bring a few juniors here."
The Black Dragon King raised his hand, and out of his sleeves flew a pure white snow wolf, a black and white spotted leopard, and a fox.
"These three little guys are all in the late Jindan stage. They will be able to break through in a few days." After the Black Dragon King introduced them, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, I still don't know what the effect of your elixir is?"
Chu Ning: ...
Qi Shiyun: ...
Yun Anlan: ...
Huang Ruyuan, Li Youxia, Wan Jiren: …
Others: …
Please vote for me, please vote for me. Can you guys break through to 1,000? I will guarantee you a chance to win the lottery. Please! (End of this chapter)
