Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather-Chapter 1288 - 838: Yue Ming’s Request, Illusion God Pill
A few days later.
Illusion Moon Sect, on Moon Mountain.
Yang Zhenshan welcomed an expected guest, Elder Yueming.
Yang Minghao had already informed him about Elder Yueming’s visit, so he had been waiting these past few days for Elder Yueming to arrive.
In the small courtyard, under the lush willow tree, Yang Zhenshan personally brewed and served the tea.
"Elder Yueming, please!" Yang Zhenshan poured a cup of tea for Yueming, smiling.
"Hehe, then I won’t stand on ceremony!" Yueming picked up the cup and tasted it carefully.
"Hmm, this tea?"
As the tea went down his throat, he was slightly taken aback.
"This is Jingyu Chun, known for calming the mind and nourishing the divine soul!" Yang Zhenshan said with a gentle demeanor.
Jingyu Chun comes from the Spirit Source Land and is a wild tea tree from there. Nobody knows where the seeds of this tea tree came from.
Last year, a spirit farmer from the Spirit Plant Department inadvertently discovered this tea tree and felt it was special, so they attempted to process some and found it capable of calming the mind.
Subsequently, this tea tree caught the attention of the Spirit Plant Department, which assigned several experienced spirit farmers to care for it and planned to cultivate more.
At the beginning of this year, Yang Mingcheng specifically brought some of the newly processed tea for Yang Zhenshan to taste. After tasting it, Yang Zhenshan found that the tea not only calms the mind but also nourishes the divine soul and soothes the mood, like a gentle drizzle nurturing the heart, hence he named it Jingyu Chun.
Yang Zhenshan estimated that the grade of Jingyu Chun should have reached the level of a Second-Order Spiritual Tea, one level higher than Spiritual Dew Tea.
Currently, the yield of Jingyu Chun is still very low, and Yang Zhenshan only has one pound of it.
However, the Spirit Plant Department is already working hard to cultivate more Jingyu Chun tea trees, and it should take only a few years for the yield to increase.
"Excellent tea!"
Yueming felt his mood become much calmer, and he vaguely felt as if his divine soul had grown slightly. Although it was just a tiny bit, it was not a small improvement for him.
Martial Artists are not Immortal Cultivators, the growth of Immortal Cultivators’ divine souls is much faster, while Martial Artists’ divine souls improve extremely slowly. Moreover, because they lack spiritual apertures, they cannot cultivate techniques to enhance their divine souls.
"Elder Yueming, is there something you wish to discuss with me?" Yang Zhenshan did not say much about the tea primarily because he did not have much Jingyu Chun. If Yueming wanted some, it would put him in an awkward position.
If he gave him some, he wouldn’t have much left. If he didn’t, he might seem stingy.
Yueming straightened his expression and said, "I do have something to ask of Elder Yang!"
Yang Zhenshan made a gesture indicating he was listening attentively.
Yueming did not conceal anything, taking out a Jade Scroll and handing it to him, saying, "I’d like to ask Elder Yang to refine an elixir!"
"Elixir!"
Yang Zhenshan took the Jade Scroll, immersing his spiritual sense in it.
Since Yueming was seeking his expertise in alchemy, it was certainly not for a common elixir; if it were elixirs used by Martial Artists, there was no need to seek him out, as there were several Martial Artist Alchemists within Illusion Moon Sect.
Illusion God Pill, a Second-Order Pill, with its primary ingredient being a three-hundred-year-old Nine Nether Ghost Orchid, and auxiliary ingredients including Concentrating Fruit, Yin Moon Stone Powder, Centurial Soul Grass, Ice Attribute Mutant Beast Essence Blood, etc.
It has the effects of stabilizing the divine soul, healing divine soul injuries, enhancing the divine soul, and strengthening spiritual sense.
For Immortal Cultivators, this elixir is quite beneficial.
And for Martial Artists, it is an indispensable elixir.
It was previously mentioned that due to the lack of spiritual apertures, Martial Artists cannot cultivate techniques related to the divine soul, but the key to advancing from the Golden Body Realm to the Divine Soul Realm lies in the divine soul.
If Martial Artists cannot find a way to enhance their divine soul, they cannot advance to the Divine Soul Realm.
This Illusion God Pill may only be an embellishment for Immortal Cultivators, but it is a lifeline for Martial Artists.
The purpose of Yueming seeking the refinement of this elixir from him was obvious — hoping to aid in his attempt to reach the Divine Soul Realm, which is also known as the Martial Immortal Realm.
"Can Elder Yang refine the Illusion God Pill?"
Seeing Yang Zhenshan withdraw his spiritual sense from the Jade Scroll, Yueming couldn’t help but ask anxiously.
The Illusion God Pill is an elixir for Immortal Cultivators, and it is challenging for Martial Artist Alchemists to refine. If he wanted to find someone to refine the Illusion God Pill, he must find a Second-Order Immortal Cultivation Alchemist.
However, such Immortal Cultivation Alchemists are not easy to come by.
Master Jing Shui, although an Immortal Cultivator, is not an Alchemist, nor do the other Immortal Cultivators in Illusion Moon Sect specialize in alchemy.
As for outsiders, even if they were willing to help, he’d have to be concerned about whether they would tamper with the elixir.
Elixirs are not things one can consume casually. If someone tampered with the elixir, it could make life unbearable for him.
Yang Zhenshan deliberated for a moment and said, "I can refine Second-Order pills, but my alchemy skills only barely reach the Second-Order level!"
"The difficulty of refining the Illusion God Pill is high. To be honest, if I were to refine it, I might not succeed even one out of ten times!"
"Perhaps it would take refining dozens of furnaces before the success rate can be improved!"
He was actually being modest. With the assistance of the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace, he was confident of raising the success rate to 40% within ten furnaces.
The Illusion God Pill, difficult as it might be to refine, is not as challenging as the Foundation Establishment Pill.
He presented himself this way because he was to refine the pills for someone else.
When refining for himself, he could do it as he pleased, but when refining for others, he couldn’t allow them to have too high expectations; if something went awry, it would be hard to explain.
Moreover, the ingredients for the Illusion God Pill are not simple. Although the Nine Nether Ghost Orchid is only a Second-Order Spirit Grass, it is extremely rare due to its special environmental requirements.
