Chapter 411: Chapter 253: The First Alchemy Master (Long Chapter) (Part 2)

"Zhan Qingyu might have it, or she might not..."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said as she tossed a De Fu Pill into her mouth, then looked at Li An and said calmly, "Help me deal with her, and I promise to assist you once. How about it?"

Li An pondered for a moment; dealing with Zhan Qingyu... indeed carried risks.

This person’s depth was unknown, and if she truly possessed the Xuanhuang Primordial Qi, it would mean her relationship with Zhan Qingxuan was definitely not simple, possibly even sisters. If Li An killed her, Zhan Qingxuan would surely go mad.

But Shangguan Xiaoxiao...

After a long while, Li An nodded, "I’ll do my best."

He decided to give it a try.

He would act according to the situation, striking when the risks were minimal. If it seemed too dangerous and could harm himself, then he would refrain from acting.

"Hm, thank you, Li Gou."

...

Li An looked at the Vermilion Transformation Furnace puppet, feeling somewhat helpless.

Agreeing with Shangguan Xiaoxiao meant he had to impersonate the Vermilion Transformation Furnace.

Only in this way could he get close to Luo Ai and make a move against Zhan Qingyu...

However, there were some benefits to this. By using the identity of the Vermilion Transformation Furnace, at least he wouldn’t have to bother finding a place to cultivate; he could openly stay here.

Moreover, from the current situation, Li Yunxiao hadn’t acquired the Evil Blood yet and couldn’t proceed with his ritual. After stirring things up, the Evil Cultivators would certainly avoid the Primordial Spirit Realm, meaning neither the Dao Sect nor the big bosses of the Evil Cultivators would stay here.

Although he was an Honored Guest Elder for the Jiang Clan, he didn’t have to worry about being targeted by the big figures on either side.

Besides, with the identity of the Vermilion Transformation Furnace, he could indirectly observe the movements of the Dao Sect and Evil Cultivators, which was a significant advantage.

Those who are far from the eye of the storm aren’t necessarily the safest; those aware of the storm can react the fastest.

Information is the foundation of everything!

...

Li An took stock of the Vermilion Transformation Furnace’s assets.

The richness of it was no less than Gao Tai’s!

A Fifth Grade Spirit Medicine — Divine Pearl Herbs, sixteen Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines, dozens of various pills, a Rank Four magical item called "Mountain Armor," a personal magical item which was a small cauldron, and over twenty thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones!

No wonder in all the arts of cultivation, alchemy ranks first; these alchemy cultivators truly are wealthy.

Now, it all belonged to Li An!

"Is there any way to make a Fourth Grade pill give off the appearance of a Fifth Grade pill?"

Li An asked.

After all, according to the agreement between the Vermilion Transformation Furnace and Luo Ai, Luo Ai also had a share of the Human Returning Pill!

When Luo Ai came asking, what would Li An say? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He definitely couldn’t just throw the Divine Pearl Herbs and Celestial Fire Reishi into the mix to make a single Human Returning Pill; that would be too much of a loss for Li An.

These ingredients were meant for refining the Celestial Life Pill in the future!

So, he planned to use some Fourth Grade ingredients with the Divinity Transformation Essence Blood to try to make the Human Returning Pill, but this would only yield a Fourth Grade pill at most...

If an anomaly unique to Fifth Grade pills could occur during the process, then Li An could tell the opponent it was a narrow miss, nothing could be done...

Luo Ai wouldn’t suspect anything!

"Simple."

Regarding this, the Demon Dao magnate Shangguan Xiaoxiao only said two words.

...

A year later.

Late at night, above Warm Rock Peak, many energies of the Great Dao suddenly converged, forming auspicious clouds as Dao charm condensed!

This directly shocked the cultivators within thousands of miles around.

"What is that? Is someone breaking through?"

"No, this isn’t a breakthrough phenomenon, this is an anomaly of pill formation, did someone create a Fifth Grade pill?!"

"What... a Fifth Grade pill, since when did our Primordial Spirit Realm have an alchemy master of this level?"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

At the same time, in the Jiang Clan main sect.

Jiang Shangfeng and Shee Anqi received the news immediately.

"Warm Rock Peak... the Honored Guest Elder Zhu?"

Both were quite surprised. This Honored Guest Elder had been highly regarded as an alchemist ever since joining the Jiang Clan, and now he even refined a Fifth Grade pill...

"Husband, we should go pay a visit and congratulate Honored Guest Elder Zhu."

Shee Anqi stood up immediately.

However, when she and Jiang Shangfeng hurried to Warm Rock Peak, just two thousand miles away, the auspicious clouds hovering above Warm Rock Peak suddenly dispersed, and the Dao charm disappeared...

"Failed?"

"So close, so close..."

"Just one step away, just one step away from having another world-shaking Fifth Grade alchemy master in the Primordial Spirit Realm, and now... alas!"

"Even though it failed, they are still worthy of being called the number one alchemist in the Primordial Spirit Realm..."

Many of the cultivators who came to congratulate were all sighing deeply!

And within Warm Rock Peak, an aged, sorrowful howl resounded, containing endless desolation and reluctance...

Shee Anqi and Jiang Shangfeng stood in silence for a long time.

...

Inside Warm Rock Peak.

Li An looked at the Fourth Grade Human Returning Pill in the furnace, his eyes full of a satisfied grin!

After this night, it was enough...

When Luo Ai came knocking, Li An would have something to explain to him.

"When he comes, he’ll surely also need the Bone Marrow Stealing Pill and the Desire-Promoting Pill. Hmm, this could be a way to deal with Zhan Qingyu..."

Li An began to refine these two pills.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was very concerned about this matter too, so she personally guided him. Under her guidance, Li An made some subtle adjustments to these pills...

The pills remained the same, even with their effects strengthened, but within them... lay a tiny bit of toxin.

All medicines have some poison; even an alchemist would not notice any issue. Plus, if the dosage isn’t high and time not long, it won’t have any effect.

Li An calculated the timeline as a hundred years from now!

Because if Zhan Qingyu’s body indeed contained the Xuanhuang Primordial Qi, then no matter how much Luo Ai toiled, it would be incredibly difficult to obtain it, requiring a significant amount of time...
