Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor
Chapter 2071 - 2070: One Thousand Pills!
Outside world.
"Hiss!!!"
Upon seeing the many medicinal ingredients in front of Su Han, quite a few disciples from the Divine Dao Religion gasped.
Although they didn’t know the rules inside the Altar of the Divine Dao, from the Seventy-First Layer to the Seventy-Second Layer, judging by Su Han’s pill refining techniques, they could deduce some things.
"So many medicinal materials, allocated by oneself?"
"The key is that the ingredients for each pill are just right. If allocated wrongly, there will surely be a failure in pill refinement!"
"Indeed, the final pill refining is the most difficult!"
"The pill refining at this level is a comprehensive test, observing Young Master Su’s understanding of each pill and his thoroughness with those medicinal materials!"
"Aside from that, it’s also about the Pill Master’s pill refining techniques and success rates; it’s simply too difficult..."
"And this is only the Seventy-Third Layer. According to the tenfold increase, in the Seventy-Fourth Layer, one will need to refine a thousand pills, and in the Seventy-Fifth Layer, it will be ten thousand pills!"
"Luckily, at this moment, these are only First Grade Pills. When it comes to Second Grade, Third-Grade, and even Fourth Grade Pills, we’ll see where Young Master Su’s extremity truly lies."
"Alas, compared to Young Master Su, Senior Sister Xue and the others are really far behind!"
"Even if Senior Brother Han enters, he would be left twenty-eight streets behind by Young Master Su."
As everyone was talking, the Sunflower Emperor, Blood-Robed Venerable, Venerable Yuj Lin, and others were also staring intently at Su Han.
In the screen, Su Han’s hand waved, and clusters of medicinal material were grabbed by him and quickly refined into pills.
There was no pause, no dragging of feet, as if with one glance, he could see through all the medicinal materials needed for each pill.
"Indeed a genius..."
At a certain moment, the Sunflower Emperor spoke: "This young man’s understanding of medicinal materials and pills has reached a superb level, with a pill refinement success rate of one hundred percent. Not only does it save a lot of time, it indirectly teaches many things to our Divine Dao Religion disciples."
"Indeed..."
The Blood-Robed Venerable also smiled wryly: "I rather want to meet his parents."
"Why meet his parents?" Venerable Yuj Lin asked quizzically.
"I want to see what kind of parents can produce such a freak."
Venerable Yuj Lin: "..."
...
As for Xue Yushuang, she passed the Twentieth Layer, also passed the Twenty-First Layer, but ultimately stopped at the Twenty-Third Layer.
Here is where ten thousand Fourth Grade Medicinal Ingredients reside.
She made a mistake once at the Twenty-Second Layer, failing to achieve one hundred percent success.
And at the Twenty-Third Layer, she felt overwhelmed.
Perhaps, by wasting a lot of time and continuing to research, she could still figure out these medicinal materials.
But Xue Yushuang did not want to do this. She directly spoke out, choosing not to continue researching medicinal materials, and asked the Altar of the Divine Dao to send her to the pill-related layer.
Starting from scratch, researching pills!
She wasn’t the first to do so.
Before her, three disciples from the Divine Dao Religion had already been transported to the pill-related layer.
They really couldn’t hold on anymore. Stubbornness would only waste time; it was better to get some rewards from the pill layer, making their trip worthwhile.
Many were like Xue Yushuang, guessing about Su Han’s progress.
Yet no one could guess that Su Han had already passed all layers related to medicinal materials and pills with full scores, and had entered the Seventy-Third Layer, refining one hundred pills!
One hundred pills: seventy First Grade Lower-Class Pills, twenty First Grade Mid-Class Pills, ten First Grade Upper-Class Pills.
This was not difficult for Su Han, but refining them one by one required a lot of time.
When he finished refining the ten First Grade Upper-Class Pills, he suddenly said, "Is there an extra Pill Furnace?"
The Altar of the Divine Dao was silent for a moment, then replied, "There is, but can you multitask?"
"I need eight more!" Su Han directly said.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The Altar of the Divine Dao did not reply, but eight identical Pill Furnaces appeared right in front of Su Han.
Looking at these Pill Furnaces, a glitter shone in Su Han’s eyes. Behind him, Nine Great True Selves suddenly separated, except for one; the remaining eight transformed into identical figures.
It was the Eight Great True Selves!
The Eight Great True Selves shared Su Han’s memory and pill refining methods, and they each had a Primordial Spirit, an individual soul.
At this moment of separation, they could naturally multitask. At least refining these First Grade Pills was extremely easy.
Swish, swish, swish—
Hands waving, clusters of medicinal materials were grabbed by Su Han and the eight Great True Selves, then thrown into the Pill Furnace.
The flame rose, much more intensely than before, almost engulfing all of Su Han’s Nine Great True Selves.
From the outside, where Su Han stood was completely a sea of fire!
And this sea of fire roasted the Pill Furnaces, rapidly melting, solidifying, and forming the cores of the medicinal liquid inside!
At this moment, Su Han’s pill refining speed increased by eightfold.
Yet, the time needed was still more than the previous layer.
Because the previous layer required refining ten pills, whereas this time, a hundred were needed, equivalent to a tenfold increase!
...
About two hours later.
Su Han exhaled a breath of turbid air, all Eight Great True Selves merged, and he slowly stood up from the ground.
At the same time, the voice of the Altar of the Divine Dao reached his ears.
"Pill refining successful, a total of one hundred pills, one hundred percent passed, you may enter the Seventy-Fourth Layer!"
Without hesitation, Su Han stepped directly into the Seventy-Fourth Layer.
Ten drops of golden blood floated in front of Su Han, five more than the previous layer.
This meant that just these three layers together have given Su Han a total of sixteen drops of golden blood, increasing his enlightenment... eightfold again!
Moreover, that extremity of the First Grade Divine Sea Realm cultivation base was constantly impacting, eager to break through.
Yet, even after swallowing these six drops, it still failed to break through!
At this moment, Su Han once again felt the terrifying demands he had for resources.
And this was only at the First Grade Divine Sea Realm!
What about when reaching Fusion, Dao Sovereign, and even Heavenly Emperor Realm, how many resources would be required?
Just the thought of it gave Su Han a headache.
"Luckily, there’s this Altar of the Divine Dao, otherwise attaining the Divine Sea Realm alone would take unknown years..." Su Han shook his head with a bitter smile.
Thinking of such things was useless, so Su Han decided not to dwell on it.
When he lifted his head, gazing at the tens of thousands of medicinal materials in front of him, the Eight Great True Selves separated once more.
This layer requires pill refinement... one thousand pills!
