Dragon Martial Emperor Chapter 190 – Heavenly Dragon Dan

Chapter – 190 Heavenly Dragon Dan

To compound a mysterious level immortality pill, a continuous flow of Xuan qi was important, but what was even more important than the flow of Xuan qi was the presence of ‘natural talent’ in the alchemist’s heart.

Only a person who possessed the natural talent for alchemy could concoct immortality pills from various materials.

The reason behind Old White choosing Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin as his disciples was that both the girls had that talent, which couldn’t be found in any other martial artist.

Only one in a thousand people had such an extraordinary talent for alchemy. However, finding a martial artist with a strong talent for alchemy, and equally strong cultivation level was even rarer.

The skills of an alchemist depended wholly upon his natural talent and his cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the more complex immortality pills could an alchemist concoct. For example, an alchemist with a cultivation level of Wudao ninth layer could at most concoct spiritual level immortality pills. It would be impossible for such a person to be able to concoct mysterious level immortality pills.

The bigger the difference was between the alchemist’s cultivation level and the complexity level of the pill, the lesser was the rate of success.

Old White had a cultivation level of Zhenling fourth layer. No doubt, it was going to be very difficult for him to concoct mysterious level immortality pills with only 10% rate of success. However, with the help of Long Yu, Liu Yuan, Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin, the success rate could be increased to 30%.

The use of a high-quality alchemy furnace could promote success rate of concocting an immortality pill, but the alchemist’s skills could enhance the rate of success by leaps and bounds.

Old White had a vast experience and was very skilled.

Moreover, in spite of being a mysterious level medicinal herb, the Heavenly Dragon Gra.s.s had a moderate temperament, which made it comparatively easier to concoct pills out of it.

Considering all these factors, Old White had almost 50% chance to succeed at concocting the mysterious level immortality pill for Long Yu.

Everyone had a different ch.o.r.e to do, so they all went way separately and used the nucleus given by Long Yu to buy several ingredients required to compound the pill.

Although the existing alchemy furnace wasn’t a high quality one, it wasn’t bad either. However, they bought a new, high-quality alchemy furnace. After all, 10,000 crystal coins wasn’t a small amount; it was more than enough to buy all the stuff that was required.

In addition to the furnace, they had bought several auxiliary medicinal herbs which were to be used to neutralize the remainders of the dragon gra.s.s.

All in all, a sum of 7,000 crystal coins was spent to buy all the necessary materials, leaving Long Yu with 3,000 crystal coins.

Although for Long Yu, the sum of 3,000 crystal coins was meager, it was a huge amount of money for any other martial artist. One could easily buy a spiritual level battle weapon with this money; even a low-grade ultra spiritual level battle weapon could be bought with 3,000 crystal coins.

As soon as all the preparations were over, Old White finally began with the procedure of concocting the pill.

“It is only through the natural talent that an alchemist can judge the attributes of medicinal herbs and perform the processes of decomposition, neutralization etc.”

Old White had not touched the dragon gra.s.s yet and was explaining to Liu Yuan, “This process will need a great amount of Xuan qi. While concocting the pill, Xiao Liao and Xiao Feng will need you and I will need Long Yu to release Xuan qi.”

“Old White, we will surely help you, Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin.”

Long Yu said as Liu Yuan nodded.

Although concocting an immortality pill was out of Liu Yuan’s league, she was glad to have a skilled alchemist as an acquaintance, let alone helping Old White to concoct the pill.

Liao Lele, who had been hostile to Long Yu and Liu Yuan since they arrived at the inn, had set her resentment apart and was ready to help.

Now that the time was right, all five of them began with the process.

Old White channeled a flame out of his hands using some martial principle and lighted the furnace. This martial principle was specially designed for alchemists and was called the ‘Flame Law’.

A common flame couldn’t have sufficed, for this process needed the flame generated by using a fire-type world principle.

Long Yu observed the bottom of the furnace and found that the temperature of this flame was almost a hundred times higher than that of an ordinary flame.

“Now start separating the attributes.”

Old White chuckled and said, “Unfortunately, only a bunch of people with special talents can see the attributes. So, Long Yu and Liu Yuan, this part of the process will be invisible for you.”

Both Long Yu and Liu Yuan nodded.

Liu Yuan looked at Old White holding the dragon gra.s.s, but she couldn’t see what exactly he was doing.

However, Long Yu felt his nine hidden dragon mark heating up, and soon he saw a thin layer of hazy mist surrounding the dragon gra.s.s.

Old White was controlling this hazy mist and soon he fragmented the mist into several hundred parts. This was the process of separating the attributes!

“Are these parts of the mist the attributes of this dragon gra.s.s?”

Long Yu thought to himself as he observed the fragmentation of the mist.

According to Old White, he didn’t possess the natural talent to be able to see the process. However, his nine hidden dragon mark had enabled him to do so!

This matter must be kept a secret. The nine hidden dragon mark was mystical. If anyone came to know about it, catastrophe would follow!

As Old White worked on, the mist continued to defragment and finally flowed into the alchemy furnace.

After all the attributes had been extracted from the dragon gra.s.s, it withered and Old White placed it on one side.

The withered dragon gra.s.s was devoid of any medicinal attribute. So basically, it was useless now.

Next, the thousands of attributes that were extracted from the Heavenly Dragon Gra.s.s were heated in the alchemy furnace.

“Now we must extract the attributes of these auxiliary medicinal herbs.”

Old White handed about a dozen of auxiliary medicinal herbs to Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin, who immediately began working on them. First they extracted the attributes out of the herbs just like Old White had earlier did, and then, according to a certain order, they sent these attributes inside the alchemy furnace.

As Long Yu could see, these attributes contained different colors. Some of them were blue, the others red and green. Each color denoted a specific nature, and based on these colors, Liao Lele and Liu Yuan were arranging them in order.

Obviously, Old White knew how important these attributes were. The right distribution of attributes would refine the best immortality pills.

Under the guidance of Old White, Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin had practiced a lot to extract these attributes from herbs, purify them and concoct immortality pills out of them in the alchemy furnace.

While Old White, Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin were at work, Long Yu and Liu Yuan couldn’t stand idly.

Since the three of them were rapidly consuming Xuan qi while working, Long Yu and Liu Yuan had to release more Xuan qi so as to replenish the alchemists’ Xuan qi level.

Long Yu continuously released his Xuan qi, which seeped inside Old White’s body, replenis.h.i.+ng his Xuan qi level and allowing him to keep working unceasingly.

On the other hand, Liu Yuan was releasing her Xuan qi to a.s.sist both Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin.

“Dantian, throb!”

Long Yu felt that his own Xuan qi level was depleting, so he immediately stimulated his Dantian to throb, restoring his Xuan qi level.

After extracting the attributes out of various herbs, Old White and the two girls had to depend solely upon their natural talent to control the neutralization of the attributes that were already inside the alchemy furnace.

This was the most important part of the entire process. Even the slightest of mistake would make all the previous efforts go in vain. Any negligence in efforts would change the desired immortality pill into an undesired waste product.

Although Long Yu could see what exactly was happening, he was amazed since he didn’t know how they could work on, if there was no principle to guide them!

“In future, if I ever get a chance, I will try to learn the art of alchemy.”

Long Yu thought to himself, but now was not the time for these thoughts.

The art of alchemy was very complicated. Its knowledge and expertise grew with time and couldn’t be learned in a short span of time.

Before the seven sects’ compet.i.tion, there was no chance of getting so much time.

Time pa.s.sed rapidly as all five of them continued working.

As they approached midnight, a strong fragrance of dragon gra.s.s mixed with other herbs spread all around the room in which they had been concocting the pill. Soon afterward, the fragrance precipitated to finally form an immortality pill.

Although Long Yu was curious about this immortality pill, he dared not to ask Old White about it for he feared it might disturb Old White’s concentration.

“Furnace, open up!”

As Old White shouted, the alchemy furnace opened up and a white-colored immortality pill flew out of it.

“Grab it!”

Old White immediately jumped to catch the immortality pill. However, the pill dodged his grasp and flew away!

“Can immortality pills also fly?”

Long Yu gawked and immediately activated his lunar wings to chase after the immortality pill at a tremendous speed.

However, the speed of the pill was faster than that of Long Yu, and it dodged his clasp several times.

“This mysterious level immortality pill is really outstanding!”

Old White showed an expression of contentment and satisfaction. From the speed itself, it was clear that this pill indeed was a mysterious level immortality pill!

Although it was a low-grade mysterious level immortality pill, it was still much more powerful than the spiritual level immortality pills!

Old White had never tried concocting a mysterious level immortality pill; he had never imagined that with the help of these two girls, he might actually be able to concoct such a pill.

They immediately sealed the entire room so that the pill wouldn’t fly out of the room.

With all five of them running to catch it, the pill finally fell into the hands of Long Yu.

It was almost impossible for ordinary people to catch a mysterious level immortality pill.

“Heavenly Dragon Dan!”

Long Yu said as he held the white-colored pill in his hand.

It really was a mysterious level immortality pill!

Feeling its pure efficacy, Long Yu was now surer than ever that absorbing this pill would definitely help him enter the Zhenling fourth layer, enabling him to congeal Zhenling ent.i.ty!

“Very well.”

Old White smiled as he looked towards Long Yu and said, “I had every reason to believe that I might fail in concocting this pill since my Xuan qi would exhaust soon. However, Long Yu, your Xuan qi was not only sufficient but so powerful that it only took us half the night to concoct the pill.”

“It is the result of my body concocting techniques.”

Long Yu smiled back and said, “Thank you, Old White. Thank you, Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin and Liu Yuan. Thank you all for the great help.”

“There’s no need for such formalities here. The seven sects’ compet.i.tion starts tomorrow. Everyone else has already slept. You still have half the night. Take rest.”

Old White waved his hand, indicating everyone to leave.

Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin returned to their room, but not before having a doubtful look at Long Yu and Liu Yuan.

Would these two go to their room and really take rest?

“Let’s go.”

Long Yu nodded to Liu Yuan as they walked towards their room.

They really went together!

Although unknowingly, Liao Lele and Feng Yuxin had guessed right – Long Yu and Liu Yuan had no plans to rest that night. They both wanted to comprehend some new skills!

Liu Yuan wanted to comprehend the lunar tablet.

Long Yu wanted to absorb the Heavenly Dragon Dan and congeal his own Zhenling ent.i.ty…..
