Chapter 139 The Number One on the Continent (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the following days, lightning tribulations frequently struck Donglong Island, and the air was filled with the fragrance of elixir, intoxicating even the dragons.

Once an eighth-grade pill is formed, the color of the lightning that descends upon it indicates the grade of the pill.

Among them, the Nine-Colored Thunder Pill is the best, representing the pinnacle of eighth-grade pills.

Two colors, five colors, seven colors...

Until one day, when the Nine-Colored Thunder God descended, the ancient dragons of the Void, who had become numb, were still stirred by the thunder.

"Venerable Qin's alchemy skills are truly divine; refining eighth-grade pills is as simple as eating and drinking."

“I’ve been to the mainland, and I’ve heard that the best alchemist there can only refine grade eight nine-colored pills. Venerable Qin is no worse than him.”

This refers to Yao Chen, who was once known as the number one alchemist on the continent. However, due to the limitations of his soul realm and battle qi cultivation, he was unable to refine ninth-grade pills.

"Even among the Medicine Clan, alchemists of this caliber are rare, aren't they?"

The Ancient Dragon of the Void had long since gone into seclusion and was unaware of the situation of the Medicine Clan, but an eighth-grade, nine-colored alchemist was certainly not bad anywhere.

Some Battle Saints, unable to obtain Grade 9 pills, may occasionally have a need for the extremely rare Nine-Colored Pills.

Over this period of time, Qin Sheng earned the respect of all the ancient dragons of Donglong Island through his alchemy skills.

Upon learning that he needed a different kind of fire, all the ancient dragons expressed their willingness to serve Venerable Qin.

Although the Warcraft race is relatively savage and primitive, and values ​​strength above all else, most of them are still quite straightforward.

One is one, two is two.

If you can convince them, they will generally not be perfunctory about what they have promised and will do their best to fulfill their commitments.

When Qin Sheng refined the fourth Rank 8 Nine-Colored Pill, the Dou Sheng who was in seclusion on Donglong Island was also alarmed.

Every day, the Pill Tribulation descends; could it be that the Medicine Clan has taken over my Eastern Dragon Island?
Qingshan, Qingmu, and Qiyou are the three great Dou Sheng of Donglong Island. Among them, Qingshan is the strongest and ranks as a two-star Dou Sheng.

"On behalf of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, I thank Venerable Qin. The appearance of the Dragon Emperor bloodline saved our clan."

Qingshan was not arrogant like a Dou Sheng; he was very polite.

"Elder Zhuli has thanked me many times already, no need to be so polite," Qin Sheng waved his hand.

"I just want to give Ziyan a home."

"It's Ziyan's good fortune to have met you," Qingshan sighed, then added:
"Venerable Qin's alchemy skills are divine. I heard from Zhu Li that you are confident in refining ninth-grade pills. I happen to have some in my collection, and I hope they can help you in your attempt to become a ninth-grade alchemist."

This ancient dragon warrior has lived for an unimaginable amount of time, and the treasures he has seen and obtained in his lifetime are beyond comprehension.

Qingshan took out three sets of medicinal herbs and two prescriptions.

"These are the formulas for the Saint King Pill and the Ancient Dragon Pill. I once collected two sets of medicinal materials for the former, but I only have one set for the latter, and it is missing the main ingredient."

Qin Sheng curiously examined the two ninth-grade pill formulas; both were ninth-grade precious pills.

Saint King Pill is a pill that enhances the cultivation level of a Battle Saint.

The Ancient Dragon Pill is somewhat special. Its core ingredients are the magic core and essence blood of a Battle Saint Ancient Dragon. The effect of this pill is to give humans a body as powerful as an Ancient Dragon. It cannot be taken by anyone other than a Battle Saint.

What Qingshan lacks is the Dou Sheng Ancient Dragon Demon Core.

"This..." Qin Sheng's eyes looked a little strange.

"How could you possibly possess a pill formula that requires an ancient dragon's magic core?"

The appearance of each Ancient Dragon Core represents the death of a Void Ancient Dragon. This kind of pill formula is undoubtedly harmful to the Ancient Dragon race, and the ancient magical beast races take it very seriously.

Where there is buying and selling, there is killing.

"This is a pill formula created by a Battle Saint of my clan and a human alchemist. They were husband and wife."

Qin Sheng suddenly realized that there was a love story behind this.

"Then I thank Elder Qingshan very much." Qin Sheng didn't stand on ceremony.

"If Zi Yan needs any pills after her bloodline awakening, I can refine them for her."

Qin Sheng: "I also hope that she can become the true Dragon Emperor."

"Yes, the Dragon Emperor will definitely reappear!" Qingshan's eyes were filled with fervor.

"At that time, the division of the Ancient Dragon Clan will end, and the Ancient Dragon Clan will return to its peak. Venerable Qin, you are the Ancient Dragon Clan's eternal friend, their most honored friend!"

Qin Sheng nodded and continued, "I've heard that many of the powerful members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan have disappeared?"

Qingshan sighed, "Yes, back then, the three major dragon islands declared themselves kings, which caused the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to fall apart and become chaotic. Many elders simply left, out of sight, out of mind."

The Ancient Dragon Clan was no less powerful than the Eight Great Imperial Clans, but they were weakened by internal strife. One internal conflict after another led to a large number of powerful individuals leaving the void and never returning.

Perhaps some ancient dragons have died in the void, but there are definitely others that are still alive, and all of them are powerful, including many Battle Saints.

"Now that Zi Yan has returned and the Dragon Emperor has reappeared, if Elder Qingshan has a way, perhaps he can recall those elders and restore the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan," Qin Sheng said.

The Dragon Emperor represents the rightful ruler and the greater good.

If the Ancient Dragon Clan's overall strength could return to its peak, it would also benefit Qin Sheng. At that time, even without his intervention, the Azure Sky Alliance could handle most of the problems on the Dou Qi Continent.

He really wanted to be a hands-off boss.

After a moment of contemplation, Qingshan nodded. "Venerable Qin's suggestion makes a lot of sense."

After Qingshan left, Qin Sheng began to study the Saint King Pill and attempted to refine this elixir.

At this point, Qin Sheng's cultivation level was no longer a three-star Dou Zun, but a nine-star.

During this time, he refined medicine for the Ancient Dragon of the Void, and naturally, he also consumed a lot of medicine, causing his cultivation level to rise rapidly.

If it weren't for the enormous amount of battle qi required for the later stages, Qin Sheng could have advanced even further.

Theoretically speaking, the transformation stage of a Dou Zun requires the same amount of Dou Qi as a Dou Zun breaking through from one star to nine stars.

This is quite troublesome.

However, it was inevitable that his battle qi would become unstable after advancing so many realms in such a short time, but Qin Sheng was not worried at all.

Later, he went to the Pill Tower to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Under the tempering of the strange fire, his battle qi naturally became stable, making his cultivation level more solid than that of others who cultivated through meditation.

In the continent of different flames, the Burning Technique reigns supreme!

half a month later.

An incredibly terrifying tribulation descended, causing a thousand-foot-long space to collapse and black lightning dragons to surge, as if it were about to destroy the world.

This is Black Demon Lightning, the exclusive lightning for Grade 9 precious pills!
Qingshan and the others stared at Hei Molei in utter shock, "A Dou Zun actually managed to refine a ninth-grade pill..."

Regardless of whether he can successfully overcome the tribulation, the fact that the pill has reached this stage proves that Qin Sheng's alchemy skills are undoubtedly at the ninth rank.

This is incredibly unbelievable, but Qin Sheng has always been one to defy convention.

The Black Demon Lightning was terrifying, but Qin Sheng did not eliminate it, because the Saint King Pill needed to undergo this tempering process to be complete.

One after another, bolts of lightning descended, and finally, a Saint King Pill was freshly produced.

As the black lightning was about to dissipate, Qin Sheng reached out with one hand.

"You think you can just leave now that you've come?"

He grabbed the black lightning bolt, swallowed it whole, and refined the lightning's primordial energy within to increase his battle qi.

The ancient dragons' eyes widened in astonishment at this sight.

Swallowing heavenly lightning whole, are you the Ancient Dragon of the Void or are we?

Master Qin is a bit too brutal.

Divine light surged forth, and the Saint King Pill soared into the sky, attempting to escape.

High-grade pills have already become sentient and can even take human form. The ancestor of the Pill Tower was originally a ninth-grade pill, but a Xuan Dan, which is even higher than a Bao Dan, and has the strength of a six-star Dou Sheng.

Above the Profound Core lies the Golden Core, which is effective against high-level Battle Saints.

In Qin Sheng's hands, a Grade Nine Precious Pill couldn't cause any trouble, and he easily seized the Saint King Pill.

"It contains enormous energy; if a normal Dou Zun dared to consume it, he would explode and die instantly."

Holding the Saint King Pill, Qin Sheng was filled with emotion.

"I failed once, but finally succeeded on the second try. This ninth-grade pill is indeed difficult to refine."

Qingshan and the others who came to congratulate him fell silent upon hearing this.

If you succeed after only one failure, how difficult is that to master?

You are a ninth-grade alchemist, everything you say is correct.

A single Saint King Pill significantly elevated Qin Sheng's status on Donglong Island.

Even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) craves a Grade 9 elixir, yet some Dou Sheng have never even smelled the fragrance of a Grade 9 elixir in their entire lives.

“Master Qin, why don’t I go to the Pill Tower on your behalf and retrieve the Three Thousand Burning Flames?” Qingshan said.

Qin Sheng shook his head, "I have a compelling reason to go to the Pill Tower, and Elder Qingshan can accompany me."

"Okay," Qingshan readily agreed. He had originally planned to retreat into seclusion, but now...

Seclusion? What kind of seclusion?

The cultivation level gained from a thousand years of seclusion is not as good as serving a ninth-grade treasure pill master well!
True to their word, Qin Sheng and Qingshan left Donglong Island immediately, while Zi Yan was awakening her bloodline and had no time to come out.

Zhu Li, who had previously agreed to go to the Pill Tower with Qin Sheng, was now filled with resentment.

It was obviously me who came first!
"If I may ask, what brings Master Qin to the Pill Tower?"

"I've had a dream since I was a child: to elevate alchemy to a level that even the Pill Tower would respect."

Qin Sheng: "Elder Qingshan, do you think my current alchemy skills have reached this level?"

Can a ninth-grade alchemist earn the respect of the Pill Tower?

"...I have been in seclusion for a long time and am not very familiar with the outside world."

Qingshan asked doubtfully, "Is the Pill Tower now more powerful than the Medicine Clan?"

As they were talking, they arrived at Danta.

On the surface, the Pill Tower is led by three giants at the peak of the Ninth Rank Dou Zun. In an era when Dou Sheng were living in seclusion, this level of cultivation was the pinnacle of the continent.

Even within the Soul Palace, the highest level of power they can display is basically this level; those with stronger abilities will not easily show themselves.

However, inside the Pill Tower, there exists a smaller Pill Tower, where a Battle Saint resides.

After Danta Dou Sheng sensed Qingshan's aura, someone immediately appeared and intercepted them in the void.

Old Monster Lin, the Grand Elder of the Little Pill Tower, a two-star Dou Sheng.

"Which friend is it?" Old Man Lin asked.

"The Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu, Green Mountain."

"Qin Sheng of Yunlan Sect."

Old Man Lin was first surprised, then bewildered.

The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void is so powerful that almost everyone knows they are at the Dou Sheng level. They are the strongest magical beast race, and Qingshan is also a two-star Dou Sheng. Old Monster Lin dares not underestimate them.

But what exactly is the Yunlan Sect?
A first-stage Dou Zun, and he looks like he just broke through... Is he from some ancient, hidden sect?
"May I ask what brings you two to my Dan Tower?"

Qingshan said, "The Three Thousand Burning Flames were left behind by my ancestors of the Ancient Dragon Clan, and I want to take them away."

Old Man Lin frowned, feeling that things were getting a bit tricky.

This is a sign of bad intentions.

"As for me..." Qin Sheng thought for a moment and said:
"I'm here to take the alchemist exam."

Old Monster Lin was dumbfounded. You're bringing a two-star Dou Sheng along to the alchemist assessment?
You must be joking.

"What rank of alchemist is Venerable Qin?"

Qin Sheng: "Currently, I only have the badge of a sixth-grade alchemist. I want to take the exam to become a ninth-grade alchemist."

The alchemy world has its own system, and each alchemist of a certain rank has a corresponding badge and robe to signify their status. In the Gama Empire, one can only take the exam up to the sixth rank.

Without a badge, if you go to others and say you are a seventh-grade alchemist, they won't believe you unless you demonstrate your alchemy skills in person.

Strictly speaking, Qin Sheng is currently an unlicensed ninth-grade alchemist. Fortunately, there are no relevant laws in the alchemy world, otherwise he would be practicing medicine without a license, which would be illegal.

Old Monster Lin: "..."

They really came to cause trouble.

"The Pill Tower isn't qualified to assess ninth-grade alchemists. As long as Venerable Qin can refine a ninth-grade precious pill, that's enough," said Old Monster Lin.
"At that time, you will be a recognized ninth-grade alchemist on the continent."

But he didn't believe it in his heart. A Dou Zun refining a ninth-grade pill? What a joke!
Whoever can do it, I'll devour the Dan Tower!
"This is a Grade Nine Precious Pill that I just refined. You can take a look." Qin Sheng tossed out the Saint King Pill.

Old Man Lin took a look and was greatly surprised.

"It is indeed a freshly made Grade 9 precious pill, which can be described as perfect."

Qingshan: "This is the Saint King Pill. I personally witnessed Master Qin refine it."

Old Man Lin remained silent. As the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, his level of expertise was beyond doubt. He could see that the aura of the Saint King Pill was closely related to Qin Sheng's aura.

"how did you do that?"

Old Monster Lin found it hard to believe. Even Yao Chen, who came from the Yao Clan, was not able to refine a ninth-grade treasure pill with the body of a Dou Zun.

"Well... I can only say that those who know how will naturally know, and those who don't won't understand even if I explain," Qin Sheng said.
"How about this, I'll first refine a pill openly and honestly inside the Pill Tower."

“Master Qin, it’s not that I don’t believe you,” Old Monster Lin explained.

"I know that with your alchemy skills, you can definitely tell whether it's true or false."

Qin Sheng nodded, "But refining medicine in the Pill Tower and letting everyone see my alchemy skills has been my dream since I was a child."

"I don't have a second set of grade nine medicinal herbs on me right now, so I'll refine a grade eight, nine-colored pill first."

Qin Sheng wasn't trying to prove anything; he just wanted to tell everyone openly and honestly that he was the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent!
Old Man Lin pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you can have the Three Thousand Burning Flames later as well."

This strange fire is a burden to the Pill Tower. In the original story, the Pill Tower even used it as a reward for the Alchemy Conference, hoping that someone would refine the strange fire.

Of course, the people from the Soul Hall are not suitable.

Now that Qin Sheng, a ninth-grade Grandmaster of Precious Pills, has arrived with a two-star Dou Sheng, there's no need to think too much about what to do.

Qin Sheng descended upon the Pill Tower, and Old Monster Lin summoned the three giants: Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi.

The one in black is Yao Chen's old lover.

"This is Grandmaster Qin Sheng of the Yunlan Sect. He is a ninth-grade treasure pill grandmaster," said Old Monster Lin.
"Next, Master Qin will refine an eighth-grade nine-colored pill. You should all study hard."

The three giants are confused. A ninth-rank Grandmaster of the Yunlan Sect?
Never heard of it.

Qin Sheng smiled at the three giants and, without hesitation, started refining medicine in mid-air.

With Old Monster Lin around, no one bothered Qin Sheng. Instead, powerful auras rose into the sky as people began to watch him refine medicine.

Even the cultivators on the ground looked up at this moment.

"Who is refining pills?"

"Those were the three giants of the Pill Tower; they didn't stop the alchemist."

"This person looks very unfamiliar."

One by one, the medicinal herbs were thrown into the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, instantly turning into medicinal liquid and continuously merging together.

It was so smooth and fluid that even the renowned eighth-grade alchemists were astonished.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

The atmosphere of alchemy in the Pill Tower was incredibly strong; even the dogs on the street knew a bit about alchemy. Soon, someone could tell what kind of pill Qin Sheng was refining.

"That's the Supreme Nirvana Pill, an eighth-grade, nine-colored elixir that can help someone break through to the Half-Saint realm!"

"My God, this is one of the most difficult eighth-grade pills to refine. How come this person did it so easily?"

"An eighth-grade alchemist I've never seen before. He must have come to the Pill Tower to take the assessment, and now he's proving himself."

"Even the Medicine Venerable was only at this level back then. If this person succeeds, wouldn't he become the number one alchemist on the new continent?!"

Qin Sheng's strength and alchemy skills were both strong enough that the Supreme Nirvana Pill was refined faster than expected.

After the nine-colored lightning descended and was easily passed through, everyone was in an uproar.

Is this really just an eighth-grade alchemist?
"Too fast, too easy. Even when Yao Chen was alive, he was far inferior to him, and his battle qi cultivation was even lower than Yao Chen's."

"This doesn't seem to be his limit. Could he really refine a ninth-grade precious pill?"

"I don't quite understand his spiritual realm."

The three giants of the Pill Tower were shaken. Their alchemy skills were second only to the ninth rank, and they could feel Qin Sheng's terror the most.

Inhuman!

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Qin Sheng carefully put away the Supreme Nirvana Pill and then refined three more Grade 8, Nine-Colored Pills, all of which were extremely difficult to refine at this level. Each pill was successfully made and of perfect quality, showcasing his alchemy skills to the fullest.

Without a doubt, he was showing off his skills and trying to impress everyone.

After refining the last pill, Qin Sheng gazed at the heavens and earth and made a declaration, his voice echoing throughout the Pill Tower and the surrounding region.

"My name is Qin Sheng, and I come from the Yunlan Sect in the Northwest Continent."

At this moment, Qin Sheng was the center of attention, revered by countless alchemists, and everyone realized one thing.

The continent's number one alchemist, succeeding Yao Chen, has been born!
Medicine, can you see it?

 We're just a little bit away from the top ten, please vote with monthly tickets!
