Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

Under Zhang Zixin's careful guidance, Zhang Lingshan's refining of the pseudo-immortal elixir went very smoothly.

But it's not a full set of pills, but ten. Six are handed over, and the extra four are kept by the individual.

Zhang Lingshan tasted one.

Disappointing, extremely disappointing!
Just as I guessed, this pseudo-immortal pill was actually a first-class immortal pill from the third floor of the weapon refining pavilion.

If you look closely, the quality is better than that of the Refining Pavilion.

But that's because Zhang Lingshan refined it well, and the pills were freshly made, so of course they were more potent than those distributed by the Refining Pavilion.

Ultimately, a pseudo-immortal elixir is just a pseudo-immortal elixir; one can only increase the energy points of the Myriad Laws True Scripture by 20, which is a hundred times worse than the mid-grade immortal elixir that Huo Ran gave him.

If you rely on this to accumulate experience to break through to the True Immortal Realm, how long would it take?
"Pseudo-immortal pills are not true immortal pills, and they are not categorized as superior, medium, or inferior. As long as they are successfully refined, it's considered a success. The effects are largely the same, so pursuing quantity is the right path."

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

A full batch of pills is fifteen. Any pills exceeding six are considered yours. In other words, as long as every subsequent batch is a full batch, you can enjoy nine pills from each batch, which translates to 180 merit points.

Ten furnaces equal 1800 merit points.

It's comparable to a mid-grade immortal pill.

When you calculate it that way, it's not bad at all.

Zhang Lingshan immediately perked up again.

Without further ado, I began frantically refining pseudo-immortal pills!
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

[The True Scripture of All Laws: First Level, 2 Rang/10 Rang. Special Effect: Absorbs the power of all martial arts techniques in the world and can deduce its own power.]

"One harvest every three months; at this rate, to break through, it would take another twenty-four months, or two years."

Zhang Lingshan secretly did some calculations.

Two years.

It's not a long time, but it's not short either.

Should I continue refining pseudo-immortal pills on the third floor to improve, or should I advance to become a silver-level alchemist?
Zhang Lingshan chose the latter.

My biggest advantage right now is Zhang Zixin.

Therefore, alchemy is not a problem for me. Instead of wasting time here refining pseudo-immortal pills, I would rather advance to the fourth level with a silver medal and refine higher-level immortal pills.

If even a good-for-nothing like Huo Ran can refine a mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pill, why can't Zhang Lingshan?
Now, after three months of mastering the alchemy technique, he only needs to refine all the other pills in the third level into batches of ten or more to advance smoothly.

This requirement was far too easy for Zhang Lingshan; he could easily produce fifteen pills.

The only difficulty is that all the other pills are being refined for the first time, so it is necessary to familiarize oneself with the properties of each medicinal material before one can gradually move towards success.

This is a slow and meticulous process that tests fundamental skills; there's no room for shortcuts.

and so.

It took Zhang Lingshan more than half a year to finally master the refining of all the pills and successfully advance to the rank of silver-level alchemist.

"good."

Wei Chongqian was very pleased to learn of Zhang Lingshan's breakthrough and said, "Your talent in alchemy is indeed outstanding. It seems that in a few years, you will be able to stand on your own and refine the Pure Lotus Pill."

"Thank you for your kind words, Steward Wei. I will work hard and strive to be able to refine it myself as soon as possible, so as to contribute to the Alchemy Pavilion."

Zhang Lingshan said.

Wei Chongqian laughed and said, "Haha, good. The demand for Pure Lotus Pills is huge. You won't have to share the merit points you earn with Huo Ran. If you can refine a mid-grade Pure Lotus Pill on your own, you can break the rules and directly advance to a Jade Token Alchemist. From now on, I will have to respectfully call you Alchemist Master whenever I see you."

"If that day ever comes, I will never forget Steward Wei's guidance, and I will definitely leave a portion of the Pure Lotus Pill for Steward Wei."

Zhang Lingshan said solemnly.

Wei Chongqian laughed and said, "It's good that you have this intention, but the refining of the Pure Lotus Pill is different from others. It cannot be kept for oneself and must be handed over entirely to be converted into merit points. So even if you wanted to keep some for me, you couldn't."

"No wonder Huo Ran always puts all the Pure Lotus Pills into the teleportation slot; there was another reason behind it."

Zhang Lingshan suddenly realized and asked, "But I don't see any Pure Lotus Pills for exchange in the exchange hall on the fifth floor. How can we buy Pure Lotus Pills to take?"

"hehe."

Wei Chongqian smiled faintly and said, "Our cultivation level is too low, we don't need that thing. Only when we absorb a large amount of immortal spiritual energy, causing too much turbid toxin to accumulate in our bodies, do we need the Purifying Lotus Pill. We are not at that level yet, so we don't need it, and therefore we don't need to buy it."

"Manager Wei is a True Immortal expert, surely he hasn't met the requirements to use the Pure Lotus Pill?"

Zhang Lingshan exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Chongqian said, "It's not just True Immortals; even Profound Immortals mostly don't need it, or rather, even if they did, they couldn't afford it. Only Golden Immortals can use the Pure Lotus Pill. Now you know how precious your alchemy talent is, right? As long as you refine pills well, your future is limitless."

"Understood, thank you for your guidance, Steward Wei."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting.

Wei Chongqian said, "There's no need for such formalities between us. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Qian."

"Yes, Brother Qian, the luckiest thing about coming to the Alchemy Pavilion this time is meeting you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly."

Zhang Lingshan said with a grateful expression.

Wei Chongqian laughed and said, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite. It's mainly because you're capable and have extraordinary skills. Otherwise, even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't have been able to. Alright, hurry up and go refine the pills. Now that your strength has improved, you can ask Huo Ran for a larger share of the merit points. If he refuses, come find me."

"Yes. With Brother Qian backing me up, Huo Ran wouldn't dare not give it to me."

Zhang Lingshan responded emphatically, and then quickly went to Huo Ran's alchemy room.

Huo Ran's face was gloomy, but when he saw him coming, he forced a smile and said, "Master Zhang, I heard that you have been promoted to silver level and reached the fourth level. Congratulations!"

Zhang Lingshan said, "It's all thanks to Master Huo Dan."

"If Master Huo hadn't borrowed me here, I wouldn't have become an alchemist, and I wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly."

"As we all know, it is extremely difficult for us mortals to become alchemists in the immortal realm."

"I didn't dare to apply directly to the Alchemy Pavilion back then because I lacked confidence in myself."

"But it was thanks to Master Huo's temporary transfer that I mustered up the courage to start refining pills."

"Master Huo, you are my benefactor, inspiring me to move forward."

Zhang Lingshan said with a serious expression.

Huo Ran's lips twitched slightly, his expression extremely complicated.

He never imagined that he would shoot himself in the foot.

I thought that even if this kid could threaten my position, it would take more than a hundred years for him to rise slowly.

Unexpectedly, this kid was a freak. In just two years, he advanced from the first level to the fourth level as a silver-level alchemist, only one level away from him.

With this kid's talent for refining the Pure Lotus Pill, I'm afraid that in just a few years, he will be able to threaten Huo Ran's position.

Having one person in the Alchemy Pavilion who refines the Pure Lotus Pill and having two Pure Lotus Pill Masters are two completely different things.

From now on, I'm afraid I can no longer rely on my privileged status. My position will be greatly reduced, and my life will never be as carefree and leisurely as before.

'Damn it!'

Huo Ran cursed inwardly, but forced a smile onto his face.

This kid in front of me has already become a force to be reckoned with. No matter how angry I am, I can't do anything to him. Not to mention others, Wei Chongqian alone is keeping an eye on my side.

If he dared to cause even the slightest trouble, Wei Chongqian would immediately jump out to protect Zhang Lingshan, this promising candidate for refining the Pure Lotus Pill.

and so.

Even though Huo Ran was very unhappy, he had to suppress his emotions and put on a smiling face, trying to get along with Zhang Lingshan.

Although the initial temporary transfer caused a bad relationship, relationships can be changed over time. In any case, Zhang Lingshan did not suffer any losses; on the contrary, he thrived in the Alchemy Pavilion.

Just as Zhang Lingshan said, he should thank himself, because it was he who opened up this opportunity for him.

Whether I meant well or badly, the outcome was good, wasn't it?

"Master Huo, Brother Qian said that I'm already a silver-level alchemist. Shouldn't my merit points be increased accordingly?"

"After one furnace is finished, Zhang Lingshan said."

"Brother Qian?"

Huo Ran was taken aback and said, "Is that what Manager Wei said? That makes sense. Even without Manager Wei saying it, I would still give you more merit points. After all, as your strength improves, our pill refining will become smoother and faster. In the same three days, we can refine one more batch."

As he spoke, he pointed out a million credits.

Previously, each furnace cost 500,000, but now it has doubled, which shows Huo Ran's sincerity.

"Master Zhang, there are only the two of us in this alchemy pavilion who can refine the Pure Lotus Pill. As the best partners, we need to help each other. From now on, each batch will be worth one million merit points. Are you satisfied?"

Huo Ran's face was full of smiles.

Zhang Lingshan smiled and said, "Satisfied, very satisfied. Master Huo is unusually generous, it seems he also recognizes my alchemy skills. I must work even harder to live up to Master Huo's appreciation."

"You're too kind. With Master Zhang's talent in alchemy, it's estimated that he will be promoted to Gold Medal in a few years. At that time, he will be able to refine the Pure Lotus Pill himself, and his future will be bright. I hope that Master Zhang will not forget his brother when he does. We can refine the Pure Lotus Pill together. With us as the best partners, we might be able to refine a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill."

As Huo Ran spoke, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

Zhang Lingshan said, "Of course, of course. If we can really refine a high-grade Pure Lotus Pill together, we'll make a fortune. You and I, brothers, will naturally become one and continue to refine pills together."

"Haha, with Brother Zhang's words, I, Old Huo, am relieved."

He suddenly burst into laughter.

Seemingly feeling that easing tensions with Zhang Lingshan had been effective, Huo Ran chatted casually with Zhang Lingshan while they were refining pills. He answered all of Zhang Lingshan's questions to the best of his ability.

As for how much of the answer was embellished or whether there was anything hidden, Zhang Lingshan had no idea.

But at least, Huo Ran's attitude was much better; he was practically a different person than before.

Zhang Lingshan learned a lot about the Immortal Realm from him, and gained a deeper understanding of the entire Anning City.

I learned from Wei Chongqian that most Xuanxian were not qualified to enjoy the Pure Lotus Pill, and only Jinxian were qualified to enjoy it.

In the immortal realm, cultivation levels are ranked from lowest to highest as follows: Void Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal Lord...

Wei Chongqian did not mention any Immortal Lord level experts, only Golden Immortals. Moreover, Huo Ran also said that the mid-grade Immortal Spirit Pill he refined was useful for True Immortals, but its usefulness for Profound Immortals was relatively much less.

Only by advancing to the level of Jade Token Alchemist can one refine high-grade Immortal Spirit Pills, which can help Xuanxian (mystical immortals) improve their strength more quickly.

In other words.

The most skilled alchemist in the Alchemy Pavilion can only refine pills for Xuanxian (mysterious immortals), which shows that the overall level of Anning City is not high. Golden Immortals are the top level, and there are no Immortal Lords.

Even if there are any, they probably wouldn't exceed the number in a palm.

Even so, Zhang Lingshan still felt that there were too many powerful beings in the Immortal Realm, and he had not even broken through to the True Immortal realm yet. How could he fight against these people?
To escape the great cage of Anning City, one must at least break through to the Xuanxian realm.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.

Feeling the pressure also gives you more motivation.

Therefore, after leaving the fifth floor, Zhang Lingshan returned to the fourth floor and quickly devoted himself to refining low-grade immortal pills.

The third layer contains pseudo-immortal elixirs, which can increase the experience value of the Myriad Laws True Scripture by 20.

A low-grade immortal pill at the fourth level can increase one's spirit by 200.

Once a full batch of pills is refined, it will provide 1800 units, comparable to the mid-grade immortal spirit pill that Huo Ran gave me back then.

'However, refining this low-grade immortal spirit pill is much more difficult than refining a pseudo-immortal spirit pill.'

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

Half a year has passed since he first refined a low-grade immortal spirit pill, but once he reached the speed of one batch per day, he could not improve it any further.

This seems to be the maximum speed for refining low-grade immortal pills.

Just like no matter how capable or strong a person is, there is a limit to how fast they can write; it is impossible to improve indefinitely.

This is not his limit, but the limit of his writing speed. Unless he can change his writing method, he can only maintain this limit speed and will never be able to improve it.

But how can we change the approach?

stove.

Zhang Zixin explained, "We need a better furnace, such as the Heaven and Earth Furnace, which can shrink to the size of a palm, concentrate the flames, and allow the medicinal liquid to condense within it without escaping, thereby increasing the speed of alchemy."

The explanation was excellent, leaving Zhang Lingshan in despair. He realized that no matter how hard he tried in the Alchemy Pavilion, he could no longer increase the speed at which he could refine low-grade immortal pills.

Because the stove confined him.

Fortunately, one batch a day yields a significant increase of 1800 experience points.

[The True Scripture of Ten Thousand Laws: First Level, 9 Rang 9000 Zi/10 Rang. Special Effect: Absorbs the power of all martial arts techniques in the world and can deduce its own variations.]

"In half a year, I refined low-grade immortal spirit pills, starting with four pills per batch, then six, then ten, and finally a full batch. It took so much time, but I've finally reached the edge of a breakthrough."

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Then, he took out a freshly made low-grade immortal pill and put it in his mouth.

Begin refining!
Hu Hu Hu.

The immortal spiritual power within his body began to surge wildly.

No need to add any points, because the cultivation of the Myriad Laws True Scripture is a natural process, achieved step by step by consuming Immortal Elixir.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, the breakthrough happened in an instant.

However, Zhang Lingshan did not break through directly, but quickly transformed his cultivation technique, and layers of mist immediately appeared on his body.

This is a true immortal technique: the Mysterious Sea Condensing Waves Technique.

This was obtained by spending 50 million merit points on the fourth floor.

Without this technique, Zhang Lingshan would not be able to explain how he was able to break through to the True Immortal realm.

Therefore, even if they were unwilling to spend it, they had no choice but to spend it.

Fortunately, this technique was of good quality, and after being absorbed by the Myriad Laws True Scripture, it also helped the cultivation of the Myriad Laws True Scripture; otherwise, it would have been a huge loss.

At this moment, Zhang Lingshan broke through to the True Immortal realm, relying on this very technique. (End of Chapter)
