Chapter 3072: The Sword Spirits’ Method
Xu Ran noticed the quality of the high grade Godking pill with a single glance. She could not help but sigh. “The quality of this pill has already reached God Tier. Jian Chen, that’s impressive of you to be able to refine a divine pill with your comprehension at Godking. Truly impressive.”
Comprehension at Godking with the Laws of Alchemy could only refine supreme grade saint pills. It was an indisputable truth in the Saints’ World, but it was not absolute.
For example, certain talented supreme Godkings possessed the ability to challenge those at higher cultivation realms than them through their special cultivation methods, the strength of the secret techniques they possessed, the unique legacies they had, and so on. They could contend against the Primordial realm as Godkings.
Alchemy was no different. If certain special materials were added during the refinement process, or if they possessed precious items with special functions, as well as cauldrons with various functions, it would also lead to a tremendous benefit and increase in quality of the pills they refined. It might increase the success rate, or it might strengthen the properties. It was even possible to directly elevate the quality of the pill, such that alchemists would even refine pills of quality that surpassed what they should have been capable of given the Way of Alchemy they possessed.
Jian Chen was clearly the latter this time.
With his Laws of Alchemy at peak Godking, normally he could only refine supreme grade saint pills. However, if he used extraordinary materials for refining, there was indeed a chance for him to refine God Tier pills.
The high grade Godking grass or the medium quality god artifact cauldron had clearly played a decisive role in determining the quality of the pill!
Refining a divine pill would have been a joyous matter to any other Godking alchemist, but right now, there was not the slightest hint of joy in sight on Jian Chen’s face. Instead, he furrowed his brows heavily. He was troubled.
The primary reason why he was in such a hurry to refine Godking pills was not to nurture his own force of Godkings, but to bring these Godkings pills into the Darkstar World so that he could produce a large number of Godkings for them. That way, he would replenish the power they required to open up the altar, and he could obtain ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood.
As long as he possessed ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood, he could venture into the miniature world that belonged to the Radiant Saint Hall and obtain the Primeval Divine Hall.
However, not only did the Darkstar World forbid entry to anyone over a thousand years old, but they were also forbidden to bring in any God Tier items.
And now, because Godking pills refined from high grade Godking grass were God Tier, it basically meant he could not bring them into the Darkstar World.
If he could not bring Godking pills into the Darkstar World, how was he supposed to uphold his deal with the Darkstar Emperor? How was he supposed to obtain ten droplets of a Grand Exalt’s essence blood from the Darkstar World?
“God Tier. Why is it at God Tier?” Gazing at the pill in his hand, Jian Chen’s heart sank slowly. Out of exasperation, he threw the Godking pill in his hand against the ground violently. After bouncing around a few times, it rolled into a corner of the room and stopped there.
Xu Ran was perplexed by Jian Chen’s action. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you satisfied with this God Tier pill?”
Jian Chen sighed. “I don’t want God Tier pills. I want saint pills that are below God Tier.”
“Senior Xu, let’s refine some more!” Jian Chen refused to believe this. He took out another set of materials and tossed them into the cauldron. With Xu Ran’s assistance, he began to refine another Godking pill.
Very soon, the second Godking pill was successfully refined, but Jian Chen’s face became slightly warped again, as the second Godking pill was still God Tier.
“Xi Yu, prepare a low quality god artifact cauldron for me as quickly as possible.” Jian Chen contacted Xi Yu. Given the Tian Yuan clan’s current wealth, they even had sufficient resources and money to buy high quality god artifacts.
Very soon, a low quality god artifact cauldron was delivered to him. This time, Jian Chen cast the medium quality god artifact aside and refined another Godking pill with the low quality god artifact cauldron.
Before long, the Godking pill was complete, but it was still at the God Tier.
“Don’t tell me all the Godking pills refined with high grade Godking grass are God Tier?” Jian Chen was close to going crazy. If that really was the case, he could not obtain the ten droplets of essence blood from the Darkstar race.
The Godking pills refined from low grade and mid grade Godking grass were all supreme grade saint pills, but the Darkstar race would never accept these pills that limited lifespans to a century, as they were only detrimental to their clansmen.
As a result, if he wanted to successfully complete the deal with the Darkstar race, he needed to provide high grade Godking pills.
Jian Chen refused to give up and attempted various experiments. He changed the cauldron again and again. In the end, he even used a supreme quality saint artifact cauldron. He played around with the quantity of supplementary materials as well and tried replacing them with weaker materials of the same element.
But without any exception, all of his experiments either ended with an explosion or a failure. He made over a thousand different attempts, but none of them ended in success.
Even if he successfully refined a Godking pill, they were all God Tier.
“Don’t tell me it’s truly impossible to lower the quality of Godking pills?” Jian Chen was rather defeated and dejected.
It was not that he had not considered bringing the materials into the Darkstar World and refining the pills in there, but he alone was not enough to refine Godking pills. He needed an expert like Xu Ran on the side to assist him.
However, there were no Chaotic Primes in the Darkstar World.
The Darkstar Emperor’s battle prowess was on par with Chaotic Primes, but that was only battle prowess. His cultivation was still at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime.
On top of that, even if the Darkstar Emperor did reach Chaotic Prime, he would only be an early Chaotic Prime. That might not have been necessarily enough to suppress the power within Godking grass.
Shortly afterwards, Jian Chen found the Immortal Devouring Orchid. After a series of questioning, the Immortal Devouring Orchid was powerless as well. As a daemon plant, a special daemon plant, it had its advantages and disadvantages. It lacked many abilities and capabilities.
“Master, perhaps we might know a method that can help you.” At this moment, the sword spirits’ voices rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
“What method?” Jian Chen immediately beamed with joy.
“Master, if you lace the pill with some Xuanhuang Qi as you refine it, it’ll be able to ignore the laws set down by Grand Exalts. You’ll be able to bring God Tier pills into the Darkstar World without any obstruction, as the level that Xuanhuang Qi is on is extremely high, surpassing the laws. The laws set down by Grand Exalts are very powerful, but they don’t apply to Xuanhuang Qi.”
“As a result, if you can lace God Tier pills with Xuanhuang Qi, they’ll be completely immune to these laws under the shielding of Xuanhuang Qi.” The sword spirits told Jian Chen.
“Lace the God Tier pill with Xuanhuang Qi?” Jian Chen frowned. He did not understand Xuanhuang Qi as well as the sword spirits. “Then how am I supposed to lace God Tier pills with Xuanhuang Qi?”
“There’s a spiritual fluid in Xuanhuang Microcosms. This spiritual fluid is laced with Xuanhuang Qi, so all you have to do is add it into the pill when you refine it. However, this spiritual fluid is extremely precious. It’s normally only used when experts refine high grade God Tier pills. Even when it’s used on mid grade God Tier pills, it’s regarded as a waste, let alone low grade God Tier pills.”
