My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 686 Seeking Medicine
Yang Genshuo suddenly realized that the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is only 1000 years.

He glanced at Hua Xinyao's character card; she was already 707 years old this year.

In other words, she has less than 300 years left to live before she dies, and her nascent soul is forced to leave her body to start all over again.

If she were to possess another person at the last moment, she wouldn't die, but she would lose all her cultivation and start from zero.

She will only be able to refine the [Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pill] again once she reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

Yang Genshuo saw that she had excellent aptitude, but with her current cultivation level of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, it would be too difficult for her to break through to the Deity Transformation stage in the remaining 300 years.

Therefore, she really can't finish refining all the pills she owes in this lifetime.

Yang Fushuo asked unwillingly, "Isn't there a compromise? My ancestor said that nothing is absolute. Senior Hua, you must need something, right? Tell me, and I'll try to find it and exchange it with you."

Hua Xinyao found Yang Fushuo's anxious look rather cute and patted his head.

“Fu Shuo, you are also an alchemist, so you know that we are not short of spirit stones. If you had said this 200 years earlier, I would have asked you to find some things. But now, the treasures I want have already been found for me by others, which is the root of my thousand-year debt.”

"They don't even care that I only have three hundred years left to live in this life; they only ask that in my next life I can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage again and leave a pill for their family."

"Therefore, why don't we set aside the Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pill today and instead discuss the Dao of Alchemy?"

Hua Xinyao spoke the cruel truth in the gentlest tone.

Although she didn't use sarcasm, but simply stated the facts calmly, Yang Fushuo could hear four words in her words: You are not qualified.

Her wealth alone far exceeds what Qidanlou has earned combined.

The moment she speaks, countless powerful immortals will serve her faithfully.

He wouldn't even get a chance to be a dog.

Yang Fushuo felt a wave of powerlessness.

All his achievements in this life are not worth a single hair of the true alchemy master Hua Xinyao.

He has no right to negotiate any terms.

At this moment, the only reason he didn't hide his face and leave was because of his ancestor.

He looked up at the sky, his expression freezing into one sentence:

"Ancestor, please say something!"

Yang Genshuo: "."

He knew this alchemist would be hard to impress, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult.
Yang Genshuo even looked at her character card, trying to find any hidden ailments or anything like that, but her well-maintained body was almost perfect, without any flaws whatsoever.

Moreover, as a top-tier alchemist, not to mention her mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, the Medicine Master Valley provided her with meticulous protection.

There's nothing that can be done, whether it's soft or hard.

"Damn, what kind of indestructible golden body is this?"

Seeing that the ancestor hadn't come up with any good solutions yet, Yang Fushuo first mentioned the top treasures the Yang family currently possessed, but Hua Xinyao smiled and shook her head in refusal.

Yang Fushuo felt embarrassed and ended up discussing alchemy with Hua Xinyao for two hours. It was his original alchemy technique developed over the years that impressed Hua Xinyao.

"Fu Shuo, if you can reach the Nascent Soul stage, you will be able to refine a fifth-grade pill that is no less than the [Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pill]."

"But you need to reach the Nascent Soul stage first."

"I have a fifth-grade Nascent Soul Pill for you. If you take this pill when you break through, it will increase your chances of winning by 10%."

"Senior, this is impossible! This item is second only to the Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pill; it is far too precious."

"Your alchemy skills are worthwhile. I might even benefit from them in my next life when I start cultivating again. Please don't refuse, but I simply don't have any more Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pills."

"Thank you, senior!"

“Fu Shuo, if you have nothing else to do, stay in Medicine Master Valley for a few more days. After I finish refining the pills tomorrow, we can discuss the Dao of Pills.”

"Since Senior Hua values ​​this, then I will continue to linger for a few more days."

Yang Fushuo temporarily stayed in Yaoshi Valley.

That evening, Yang Genshuo and Yang Fushuo stared at each other across a world.

"What should we do?"

Even the wealth of an entire family cannot tempt someone.

"That's pretty damn hurtful."

Yang Genshuo laughed at himself, speechless.

I originally thought that by pooling the resources of the Yang family, I could win the favor of the alchemist, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't take a liking to me.

A single [Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pill] can grant a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage a chance to reincarnate and start anew, making it highly sought after.

Moreover, Hua Xinyao seems to be very principled, so there's no way she can take shortcuts.

The next day, Yang Fushuo and Hua Xinyao discussed the Dao for a long time and gained a lot. However, Yang Fushuo took the opportunity to bring up the matter of seeking the elixir again, but was rejected.

Yang Fushuo was somewhat helpless.

"Ancestor, it seems we have nothing left to persuade her."

"Should we just give up like this?"

Yang Genshuo was somewhat unwilling.

"I don't believe there's anyone without flaws! We just haven't discovered them yet. Fu Shuo, don't mention the matter of seeking pills tomorrow. Continue to chat with her about the Dao of Pills and probe into the depths of her heart."

"Alright, I'll see how deep she is tomorrow."

On the third day, after Yang Fushuo and Hua Xinyao stopped talking about seeking the elixir, Hua Xinyao was noticeably happier and became more engrossed in the conversation.

When he got excited, Yang Fushuo even talked about his 'AI assistant' alchemy method.

This greatly surprised Hua Xinyao.

"Such a wondrous object exists? How interesting! May I have a look?"

"This"

Yang Fushuo hesitated for a moment, then immediately heard the old ancestor's voice.

"Let her see."

"Sure, if Senior Hua has time, you can come to my Qidan Tower."

“Alright, we’ll set off tomorrow.”

Hua Xinyao was extremely interested in the emergence of the new alchemy, to the point that she was a little embarrassed.

Before setting off the next day, he explained, "Fu Shuo, you're willing to share your alchemy secrets with me, but... to be honest, I really don't have any more of my [Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pills]. I've given away all the ones I had myself. If you're not willing..."

"Senior, you are overthinking it. I have already gained a lot from exchanging ideas about alchemy with you. How could I keep anything to myself? I have always had a dream!"

"Oh?"

"I hope that all alchemists can unite, exchange their alchemy techniques, share their alchemy formulas, research new pills together, and gather the strength of the top alchemists on the Lingmiao Continent to create even more powerful pills, paving a broad road for future alchemists!"

"Fu Shuo, I underestimated you. You have such ambition. If you achieve the Nascent Soul stage in the future, you will definitely set off a new trend in the alchemy world."

Hua Xinyao already admired Yang Fushuo's alchemy, and now she held him in even higher regard for his spirit.

The person who can say something like "sharing the formula for alchemy" is clearly not an ordinary alchemist.

Honestly, she was unwilling to share her original prescriptions.

The two immediately set off for Qidan Tower.

With Hua Xinyao's cultivation boosting their speed, they moved so fast they were almost blurry, returning in less than three days. During this time, Yang Genshuo suddenly had a new idea.
Yang Fushuo led Hua Xinyao on a tour of his 'AI assistant,' which was a new one that Yang Genshuo had replaced for him this year.

The previous one had completely failed over time, but fortunately, Yang Fushuo had the foresight to preserve the server hard drive containing the precious AI alchemy training data intact.

Yang Genshuo switched to a new machine, imported the data directly, and could continue using it.

Although Hua Xinyao didn't understand what the thing in front of her was, it didn't stop her from thinking that it was powerful.

"Fu Shuo, if we could refine a batch of this and have some powerful alchemists use it, wouldn't that create countless new pill formulas for the cultivation world today?"

"Even if most of them are useless pills, as long as you work, you can always produce a good pill that can seize the creation of heaven and earth and contains the great Dao of heaven and earth!"

"Even my fifth-grade alchemy has a lot of room for improvement."

"Where is the spirit of this object? Could you come out and have a chat?"

Hearing Hua Xinyao's words, Yang Fushuo's lips curled into a smile.

"This object has no spirit."

"If there's no spirit within the artifact, then who's making the deductions?"

"This object is a mechanical contraption; a single chip within it can be used to perform calculations equivalent to those of tens of thousands of cultivators."

"Hiss~ It's so amazing! Where is the predecessor who created this? I wonder what price one would have to pay to get one of these?"

"This"

Yang Fushuo looked embarrassed, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Yang Genshuo also smiled.

[A miracle]

"Give it to her."

Yang Fushuo nodded secretly and replied to the ancestor in his divine sense: "If we propose exchanging pills for a computer now, we should be able to succeed. Ancestor, you are very shrewd!"

"No, no, no, don't make any requests, just send it directly."

Yang Fushuo didn't quite understand, but he was sure that listening to his ancestor was the right thing to do, so he laughed heartily.

"Although this item is quite complicated to make, if Senior Hua wants it, I will definitely be able to get it no matter how difficult it is. Senior Hua, please wait a while, and I will personally deliver it to you after I get it."

"This will trouble Fu Shuo. Although I no longer have the [Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pill], I still have quite a few other common Grade 5 pills. If you need any of them, just let me know."

"Hehe~ Senior Hua misunderstood me. As I said before, my dream is to promote the development of the entire alchemy industry. I will do my best to contribute and will not exchange it for any benefit."

Hua Xinyao didn't praise her anymore; instead, her eyes were filled with a complex emotion.

It was a look that combined admiration, understanding, and disbelief.

Then a bright smile appeared on her lips.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Fu Shuo."

Hua Xinyao stayed for two days, giving Yang Fushuo some pointers on alchemy, which greatly benefited Yang Fushuo and the entire Qidan Tower.

The most important aspect is how Yang Fushuo became a Nascent Soul Alchemist.

Hua Xinyao gave Yang Fushuo her own exclusive recipe.

"I have a [Formless Pill] that I can teach you. This pill is colorless, odorless, formless, and invisible. After it is refined, it will enter your dantian and accumulate. When enough [Formless Pills] have been accumulated, it will lead you to break through to the next stage."

"Such a miraculous pill exists?"

"Hehe~ This is also my original pill formula. I didn't intend to teach it to anyone, but after hearing about your ideals and ambitions, I realized how stingy you are. I will publish this pill formula in the future, so that all of us alchemists can improve our skills."

"Senior is righteous!"

Yang Fushuo obtained the recipe for the [Invisible Pill], and Hua Xinyao also left the Qidan Tower.

Yang Genshuo was now filled with utmost respect for his ancestor.

"How do you know, Ancestor, that she would give it to me even if I didn't want it?"

“I didn’t expect this. This is just an extra benefit. My real intention is yet to come. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to obtain the [Heavenly Spirit Rejuvenation Pill].

"Hmm? Really? Senior Hua Xinyao seemed very sincere, so she probably doesn't have any left, right?"

"It's alright, just have her give us the next pill."

"She would not give this to us in principle."

“I will create a new principle for her.”

Hearing the ancestor's mysterious words, Yang Fushuo felt both puzzled and impressed.

Even after serving as the master of Qidan Tower for so many years, he still felt that his wisdom was far inferior to that of the ancestor.

Although he still didn't know how the ancestor could extract a pill from Hua Xinyao, Yang Fushuo had now found a new direction.

【Invisible Elixir】

A fourth-grade pill is quite complex to refine.

Fortunately, Qidanlou had a rich reserve of medicinal herbs, so Yang Fushuo immediately began refining pills.

The process of making this elixir is extremely complicated and requires a very high level of skill from the alchemist.

Even a seasoned fourth-grade alchemist like Yang Fushuo failed the first three times.

It took a full month of refining on the fourth attempt before they finally succeeded.

After opening the alchemy furnace, it was completely empty; all the medicinal herbs had vanished, as if the past month had been an illusion. However, Yang Fushuo felt that his dantian had grown larger.

The feeling of his obvious improvement in strength surprised and delighted him!

"With this pill formula, I might really be able to break through my talent limitations, reach the Nascent Soul stage, and become a fifth-grade alchemist!"

Yang Fushuo was always limited by his talent, and his progress was very slow after reaching the middle stage of the Golden Core. He thought he would never be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage in this life, but unexpectedly, after being enlightened by Hua Xinyao, he found a way out.

Yang Fushuo is so obsessed with refining the "Invisible Pill" that he cannot extricate himself.

Yang Genshuo didn't bother him.

During the time Yang Fushuo was refining, he had already started fast-forwarding.

As he walked out of the villa, he called Guo Xiaozhi over.

He came up with some interesting ways to play.

"Xiao Zhi, what's the most advanced local AI deployment method right now?"

"Brother Shuo, if we're willing to spend the money, we can get people from those big companies to customize a dedicated AI for our group."

"Personalized AI? What does that mean?"

"I've been researching this recently, and just a couple of days ago a local university team working on AI algorithms came to me asking for sponsorship. So-called dedicated AI is AI with specific functions built according to the scenario you are using, which is exactly the difference from the general-purpose AI that ordinary people use now. Whether in terms of professionalism or adaptability, dedicated AI is superior. For example, the intelligent driving AI system in China can't do anything else, but it can drive."

"I understand. Then I do need a dedicated AI."

"OK, which aspect specifically? There are many mature commercial application cases now, I'll find the company that does the best."

"Alchemy."

"?"

After staring at each other for a minute, Guo Xiaozhi and Yang Genshuo realized that their boss wasn't talking nonsense, and then fell silent.

“I’ve brought over the top six companies.”
