Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 338: A Mere Treasure Pill
"Who said there was only one?"
The Eldest Prince and his companion were stunned once again and then they realized what was implied.
Smiling, the Eldest Prince said, "Even if there are three to five Treasure Pills, adding three to five saints to Tianyuan would still not bridge the gap with the other three major Ancient Kingdoms."
Treasure Pills are extremely rare and top-quality Treasure Pills are seen once in a millennium. It was already a surprise to the Eldest Prince that Qinchuan could produce one, and he guessed that Qinchuan had no more than three to five at most.
That was why he made such a remark.
The Jiuxiang Ancient Country has three hundred soldiers in Golden Armor. Among these soldiers, the weakest are saints, and the strongest have reached the Supreme Saint level.
And Tianyuan Nation, Great Yan Ancient Country, and Taiyuan Ancient Country all possess forces similar to the Golden Armor soldiers.
In Tianyuan Nation, these people are called ’The Blue-clothed,’ and even though Tianyuan Nation has recruited many experts from within its realm, the number of Blue-clothed is still just over a mere hundred.
Even if Jiuxiang Ancient Country lost a hundred men at Burning Heaven Sect, and Tianyuan Nation added three to five more people, it would still be difficult for them to confront them.
Let alone compare with the strongest Taiyuan Ancient Country to the west.
As the Eldest Prince was talking, suddenly Qinchuan flicked his finger, and the Treasure Pill in his hand instantly flew into his mouth, where he began to chew.
Seeing this, Chen Baidao and Li Zhi were both shocked to the point of staring at each other, dumbfounded, with their mouths wide open—broader than a clenched fist.
This Great Dao Pill is not an ordinary elixir; it does not contain Spiritual Power but is filled with a strong sense of the Great Dao. It is only extremely beneficial for those at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm who are striking towards the Holy’s Realm.

Cultivators below the Dragon Transformation Realm who take this elixir will see absolutely no effect; Qinchuan’s act was undoubtedly a wasteful destruction of heavenly creations.
Qinchuan chewed while shaking his head and said, "The taste is not bad, would you like to try one?"
Having said this, two more top-quality Great Dao Pills appeared in his hand with a flick of his finger. The two Pills turned into streaks of light and directly flew into the wide-open mouths of the two men.
The pair were still in shock, their minds blank. Seeing two extremely valuable Treasure Pills flying into their mouths, their instinct was to refuse. But before they could react, the two elixirs landed in their mouths, turned into a warm current, and flowed into their abdomens.
"This..."
"What a waste of heavenly treasures! Truly a waste of heavenly treasures!"
"If these three Treasure Pills were to be taken by cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm, Tianyuan Ancient Country would surely gain three more saints."
Even as a descendant of the Great Emperor, the Eldest Prince was shaking his head and sighing at this moment.
Three saints might not be enough to change the current status of Tianyuan Ancient Country, but as long as little is added to little, one day they will return to the peak.
"Merely Treasure Pills, not worth mentioning!"
"If this young master has said that I would unify the Divine Wilderness under Tianyuan Nation, how could I not bring out some real skills?"
As he spoke, Qinchuan took out a Soul Stone from his bosom and threw it to the Eldest Prince, then said.
"When you go back, prepare the following ingredients, the more the better! Once you are ready, bring them here."
The Eldest Prince was still sighing over the waste of three Treasure Pills and was secretly annoyed and regretful. Taking the Soul Stone, his Soul swept over it, and he saw that it was densely packed with several kinds of Spiritual Medicine.
Having some knowledge in the art of Alchemy, the Eldest Prince could tell at a glance that these ingredients were exactly the materials needed to refine Great Dao Pills.
Startled, his eyes burst with a fierce light, and his face showed excitement which made him incoherent with agitation.
"Could it be—"
"Could it be that Brother Qin knows a Pill Saint who can refine Great Dao Pills?"
The prescription for the Great Dao Pill is not rare, and the raw materials for refining the pill are not hard to find, but there is a huge hurdle in achieving Pill Concoction.
Firstly, because this pill does not just push through realms but also invokes the Great Dao, the Alchemist must have a profound understanding of the Great Dao to begin with.
As a result, the realm and strength of the Alchemist must at least reach the level of a Great Saint. In Tianyuan Nation, Great Saints are already as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns, not to mention a Pill Saint with the strength of a Great Saint, which are virtually impossible to come by. In the entire Dongju Continent, the Eldest Prince only knew of one each in the Jiuxiang and Taiyuan Imperial Families.
Secondly, the refining of the Great Dao Pill is extremely draining on the mind and spirit. Even a Pill Saint as powerful as a Great Saint can only produce one batch of Great Dao Pills per year, and within that batch, there typically are only two or three successful pills.
When it comes to a Supreme Saint, they can refine two to three batches of elixirs per year.
"You could understand it that way!"
Qinchuan nodded, not giving away that he was the one who had refined the elixir, and replied accordingly.
The Eldest Prince was overjoyed to hear Qinchuan’s acknowledgment. Having one Great Dao Pill and having a Pill Saint capable of refining Great Dao Pills were vastly different matters; even his frustration from squandering three Great Dao Pills was swept away in an instant.
"How many pills can that senior produce in a year?"
The Eldest Prince couldn’t be sure who could refine the Great Dao Pill, but he had guessed that it was some mighty figure from the Burning Heaven Sect, thus he referred to them respectfully as "senior."
"This can’t be determined!" Qinchuan answered indifferently.
"Can’t be determined?"
Curiosity surfaced on the face of the Eldest Prince, not understanding what Qinchuan meant.
Qinchuan glanced at him and said flatly.
"That depends on how many materials you, the Eldest Prince, can prepare. The amount of materials available will determine the number of pills that can be made."
"..."
"..."
For a moment,
The vast hall fell silent; Yu Qilin observed Qinchuan discreetly, as by now he was well aware that Qinchuan was the alchemist in question, and he harbored no doubts about it.
However, the Eldest Prince and Chen Baidao exchanged looks, at a loss for words.
It was the Eldest Prince who first regained his composure, "How could this be possible!"
"The refining of the Great Dao Pill greatly exhausts the soul, even for a Supreme Saint Expert, the number of elixirs refined in a year..."
He paused midway, a sudden realization dawning on him, he cried out in surprise.
"Ah, could it be..."
He did not continue his words, but thought to himself, "Could it be, could it be the Pill Emperor!"
"Is it the ancestor from the Burning Heaven Sect who has just ascended to emperor status? But I have never heard that Burning Heaven Sect’s ancestor was an Alchemist before!"
Qinchuan understood what the Eldest Prince was thinking, but he did not correct him.
At this time, he spoke, "After you return, you can start preparing the necessary materials. Once they are ready, within seven days, the Great Dao Pill will be delivered into the hands of the Eldest Prince."
Seeing Qinchuan’s confident words and the lack of jest in his manner, the Eldest Prince became more certain of his guess, and his spirit surged with excitement.
A small flame of hope in his heart began to expand, and he started to look forward to the proposition that Qinchuan had mentioned earlier about unifying the Divine Wilderness.
His mind grew hazy with the thought; he nodded and respectfully gave his assent, "Yes!"
The challenge for a Cultivator to transition from the Dragon Transformation Realm to Holy’s Realm is like a chasm in the sky, obstructing the path of many a cultivator’s journey, with perhaps only one in ten thousand capable of surmounting this divide and achieving the status of a Holy.
And if the Tianyuan Nation held an inexhaustible supply of Great Dao Pills in their hands,
Li Zhi believed that within a hundred years, there would be no less than ten thousand Holies.
By then, an army formation composed of ten thousand Holies could go wherever they pleased without meeting any resistance.

For the Tianyuan Nation, the unification of Dongju Continent was just a matter of time.
Setting sights on the Divine Wilderness Continent wasn’t impossible either!
