Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Great Water Elemental Pill!

The pill recorded in the alchemical texts, whose main ingredient is the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit, has this name.

This pill is a miraculous elixir!

In the past, Qin Xiao didn't know much about elixirs, but after reading the Qingxu Elixir Book...

Then I realized that among all the pills, the most precious ones were actually the elixir of immortality.

The elixir is not an ordinary pill.

The pills Qin Xiao had used in the past, even those like the Blood Strengthening Pill, were extremely valuable, but they were only pills used by ordinary martial artists.

But elixirs are different. Their effects are incredible compared to ordinary pills; they are truly miraculous medicines.

Some elixirs, if taken, can keep one young forever and prolong life.

Some elixirs can even cleanse one's marrow and essence, granting ordinary martial artists talents comparable to those of those with special physiques, transforming them into martial arts geniuses overnight.

As for breaking through cultivation levels and raising realms, these are only the most basic functions of the elixir, but its effects are more than ten thousand times better than ordinary pills.

For example, there is a elixir recorded in the alchemical book that, once taken, can turn an ordinary person into a master of marrow refining within a few days.

When Qin Xiao saw this kind of elixir, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets; he was utterly shocked.

You should know that Marrow Refinement experts are the top combat force in Black Mountain City. Any one of them can establish a first-class family and dominate a region, with no one daring to provoke them.

Such combat power, achieved with just one pill, is simply outrageous.

Qin Xiao knew, of course, that it wasn't because marrow refinement experts were too cheap, but because the elixirs were too miraculous.

Black Mountain City's sphere of influence has a population of nearly one million.

The number of Marrow Refinement Masters can be counted on one hand, so how could they be cheap?

So there's only one reason: the elixir is simply too precious and too miraculous.

Any single elixir can be considered truly priceless; the author of the alchemical text recorded an event.

He once participated in a top-tier auction, which was attended by countless royalty and powerful figures.

When the elixir appeared at the auction, everyone present went almost crazy, scrambling to buy it. Some even offered to exchange a city ten times the size of Black Mountain for the elixir.

It is easy to imagine how precious the elixir was.

"No wonder the Su family can no longer produce alchemists like their ancestors."

Qin Xiao's expression was complicated, understanding why Su Qingleng said that the Su family had declined in the field of alchemy.

This is because the Pure Void Elixir Book is not an ordinary elixir book at all, but an elixir book that records the method of refining spiritual pills.

In terms of its rarity, it far exceeded Su Qingleng's imagination.

Elixirs are so expensive, how could an ordinary alchemist possibly learn how to make them?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Su family, or rather, the alchemists in Black Mountain City, are not qualified to be called alchemists at all.

In the eyes of true alchemy masters, only those who can refine elixirs are qualified to be called alchemists.

But such alchemists are not so easy to cultivate.

Putting aside everything else, refining elixirs requires a large number of rare and precious herbs, such as the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit, just for the medicinal materials.

Given the Su family's current situation, even a single Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit would be enough to bankrupt them. How could they possibly cultivate an alchemist capable of refining spirit pills?

"However, I may not be so sure."

Qin Xiao's eyes gleamed with confidence. Although he had never personally refined pills before, he had the help of the Goddess Diagram.

He had thoroughly mastered the contents of the Qingxu Dan Shu (a classic alchemy manual), and was confident that he could become a true alchemist in the shortest possible time and refine a spiritual elixir.

Thinking of the description in the alchemy book of the Water Essence Pill made from Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit, Qin Xiao's eyes lit up with anticipation.

He only realized how precious the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit was after reading the alchemical text. Fortunately, he hadn't consumed it directly, otherwise it would have been a terrible waste.

Why do I say that?

This can be confirmed from the Water Element Pill.

The Water Element Pill not only allowed Qin Xiao to break through his cultivation realm with ease.

It can also cause Qin Xiao's physique to undergo a transformation, allowing him to obtain a superior mortal physique called the Myriad Waters Physique!

Yes, a superior mortal body!

Elixir is such an incredible thing.

Even a superior mortal physique, a rare talent, can be achieved with a single elixir.

The constitution acquired through elixirs is called an acquired constitution, while the constitution one is born with is called an innate constitution.

Although there is a distinction between acquired and innate factors, this does not mean that acquired factors are inferior to innate factors.

This can be understood from the effects of the acquired mortal body, the Body of Ten Thousand Waters.

The "body of ten thousand waters" is, as the name suggests, a constitution related to water.

This type of physique makes one virtually invincible in specific environments.

For example, the Body of Ten Thousand Waters allows a martial artist to gain an almost comprehensive boost in all aspects of their abilities, as long as they are in an aquatic environment.

Not to mention that his cultivation speed, comprehension, and reaction ability all doubled.

Their combat power can be elevated to a higher level.

Furthermore, martial artists with the "Ten Thousand Waters Body" can even possess the ability to avoid water.

Not only can it move freely underwater like a fish, but it can also breathe underwater and stay submerged for a whole day without suffocating.

These abilities are all top-notch.

But that's not the most precious thing about the Myriad Waters Body. The most precious thing about this physique is that it can greatly reduce the difficulty for martial artists to advance to the Refining Spirit Realm!

Yes, the Refining Spirit Realm!

Qin Xiao now knows that in the realm of martial arts, the Refining Spirit realm is the true watershed.

Below the Refining Spirit Realm, no matter how strong one is, one is still just an ordinary person and cannot escape the lifespan of a mortal.

But once a martial artist reaches the Refining Spirit Realm, they can have a lifespan of two hundred years and be rejuvenated!

Qin Xiao's biggest problem right now is not the Su family, nor the Hong family or the Wang family, nor even Chen Qi of the Mountain and River Sect.

It's lifespan.

It's because he's too old.

Even with the Goddess Painting, how many more years could Qin Xiao enjoy himself if he didn't have enough lifespan?

Therefore, for Qin Xiao, the most important thing was to improve his lifespan and reverse aging in the Refining Spirit Realm, even more important than anything else.

Only when his cultivation breaks through to the Refining Spirit Realm and his lifespan is extended can Qin Xiao say that he has no worries about the future.

If Qin Xiao cannot advance to that realm as soon as possible, no matter how extraordinary his opportunities are, they will all be in vain.

Therefore, upon learning that the Body of Ten Thousand Waters could reduce the difficulty of achieving the Refining Spirit Realm.

Qin Xiao made up his mind instantly.

We must spare no expense to refine the Water Element Pill.

However, the Water Essence Elixir requires a large amount of auxiliary medicinal materials.

Although those medicinal herbs were not rare treasures like the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit, they were all top-grade and precious medicinal herbs.

It wasn't so easy for Qin Xiao to buy it right away.

"He still has to rely on being a kept man."

Instantly, Qin Xiao thought of Su Qingleng.

Qin Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit sorry for living off this woman.

As soon as Su Qingleng returned.

Qin Xiao immediately asked Su Qingleng to buy him some medicinal herbs.

Unexpectedly, bad news came from Su Qingleng—

"What did you say? You're grounded!"

Qin Xiao looked at Su Qingleng in surprise.

I never expected something like this to happen.
