The mystery was finally unveiled. The old man no longer had any airs of a senior expert. The moment he saw Ye Tiancheng's pill, his eyes lit up as he stared in their direction.
The old man had wandered the mysterious continent for many years, all to shatter the legend that alchemists could not create a 100% flawless alchemy. Years ago, someone claimed that the Baopuzi of Zhongzhou could be refined, so the old man went to find him and discovered it was merely a rumor; it was close to flawless, but not truly flawless.
So the old man took Baopuzi as his disciple.
For so many years, the old man had already given up hope. Who could have imagined that in the tranquility of the mountain of books, he would witness such a strange young man as Ye Tian, capable of such astonishing methods?
In this world where Qi and fire cannot be tolerated at all, Qi and fire are used to refine the Speed-Up Pill.
Perhaps, he really does have a chance to brew it.
The old man gazed expectantly at the cauldron. Not returning to Zhongzhou for so many years was already irresponsible; if even this mysterious young man couldn't refine a 100% flawless pill, then perhaps such a pill truly didn't exist. Legends were just legends.
The old man was somewhat uneasy, staring intently at the cauldron, his heart pounding with anxiety.
A batch of pills yields only a dozen or so.
These alone are enough to feed the laborers of the Ruthless Sect for a while. Ye Tian picked up a pill.
It is as clear and lustrous as jade, like the finest jade in the world. There are no flaws inside, and no dirt is visible when viewed from the inside.
The old man was stunned. He stared blankly, his mouth opening slightly before closing again. Then he tilted his head back and burst into wild laughter. His white hair suddenly turned blue and then stood on end.
The wrinkles on the old man's face began to decrease visibly, and the age spots disappeared completely. He, who originally looked like he was in his eighties, gradually began to age in reverse.
Sixty years old...forty years old.
The old man transformed back into a man in his prime, his face beaming with smiles, yet two streams of tears still clung to his cheeks. It was impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.
But Ye Tian could tell that he was at peace with it.
A sense of relief originating from the soul, a complete release from beginning to end. Ye Tian witnessed this scene and, for some reason, was somewhat moved.
There was no reason; it was just a touch that came from the soul.
Ye Tian was inexplicably moved by what he saw. This kind of instinctive reaction was uncontrollable.
One can only say that this old man's every word and action, every stillness and movement, has approached the Tao.
The old man, now middle-aged, laughed three times. Gazing ahead with a carefree air, he said to himself, "I, Li Chunfeng, have traveled the continent for nearly a century, seeking the answer to this question. Today, I have obtained the answer I sought. Even in a sealed world, there are a few tiny figures who can break through the barriers of heaven and earth. Perhaps this is the true meaning we are pursuing."
"You answered my questions, so we can be considered half-master and half-teacher. This cauldron has been with me for half my life, which can be considered as repaying your kindness. There are elixirs inside. If you ever come to Zhongzhou, with my cauldron, no one will dare to harm you."
*Snap*
Who is this person, speaking with such arrogance?
Just as Ye Tian was about to ask which sect leader in Zhongzhou was more powerful, or Li Chunfeng, he found that the place was now empty, and the sky had brightened again, no longer as dark as before, where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Could it be that what just happened was all an illusion, a mere dream of anger and delusion?
Ye Tian's gaze wandered, but the pills he had just refined in his hand could not be faked; they were definitely real... Moreover, there was also a cauldron on the ground. Wasn't this the small cauldron with Taotie patterns that the old man had just been holding?
The old man gave it to himself.
The old man was alright; he even gave me a gift before leaving. His character was undeniable, but there were pills inside—weren't those the pills that had just exploded in the furnace? What good were they?!
Ye Tian suddenly remembered something. Given the old man's cultivation level, if he had invited him to become his employee, wouldn't his cultivation level have skyrocketed like a rocket?
Perhaps we will be able to defeat King Wu soon.
After all, Ye Tian had seen cultivators at the twelfth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm before. Compared to the old man, his little tricks were like an infant seeing a cultivator at the Yellow Millet Realm—they were simply not in the same league.
Picking up the cauldron left by the old man, Ye Tian reached out to grab the pills inside. The cauldron itself was clearly a good item, but Ye Tian didn't think the pills inside were necessarily any better.
You know, this old man tried to learn alchemy from me and it even caused a furnace to explode. What good pills could he possibly make?
But as Ye Tian thought this, just as he retrieved the pill from the cauldron, he was completely stunned. He swore he had never seen such a crystal-clear pill before, almost as if it had merged with the world around it. It was perfectly integrated with the world.
There were only a trace of impurities, and most importantly, the medicinal power within this pill was surging to an unimaginable level. This flammable and explosive pill contained a terrifying concentration of spiritual energy.
Ye Tian realized that if he swallowed the pill directly, he would be overwhelmed by the surging spiritual energy within, and he was a Golden Immortal with a system cheat! Even a seventh-level Golden Immortal couldn't harm him.
But a single pill could actually kill him—that's terrifying.
Just how amazing its effects were, Ye Tian could figure it out even with his knees down; the old man had left him a fortune.
