Chapter 963: Po Luo Alchemy Classic

Heishanyang looked at Chen Chuyang; this Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill it had seen before, it dared not eat, fearing it would poison itself.

Most of the pills Chen Chuyang researched are toxic, and their toxicity is not low.

They have various toxicities; even the weakest could make it faint and collapse. After trying a few times, Heishanyang became afraid; since Chen Chuyang had not experienced the pill's effects, it would not eat it, nor would it serve as a guinea pig.

The Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill's toxicity is strong, stronger than any other pill it had seen; Heishanyang wanted to see Lingtongdaoren take it, to observe the effect—if he did not die, perhaps it could try one itself.

Lingtongdaoren instantly saw through the reactions of the person and the sheep; his gaze finally fell on Chen Chuyang, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Little friend, this pill couldn't possibly be the one you refined, could it?"

Chen Chuyang nodded: "Not bad; this Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill is made by my hand, one of the pills I've researched, its effect is quite good—but for someone of your strength, the pill's effect might not satisfy you."

The stronger one's cultivation, the weaker the effect of the Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill.

Lingtongdaoren narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Chuyang to ensure he wasn't lying; after a while, he confirmed the truth of Chen Chuyang's words.

If this young man is not lying, then this pill, never seen before, comes from his hand; if so, this kid is not ordinary.

The pill fire is not simple; his body still reeks of flame, which is also why he produced the Azure Green Whale Heart Fire—to test Chen Chuyang's background and see if he is indeed a pill refiner.

He still clearly understands the importance of pill refiners; upon encountering a promising pill refiner, he naturally wants to befriend them.

Especially this kind of pill refiner with wild ideas who puts them into practice, possessing strong adaptability and not being confined by the framework of pill refining—such a kid is quite precious; if he obtains a proper alchemy classic, he can rise rapidly.

It is obvious that Chen Chuyang is such a person.

Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill, a fifth-grade pill—for Chen Chuyang to rely on himself and reach this point is not easy.

Fifth-grade pill refiners, even in Tianwai, are among the esteemed few.

Moreover, Chen Chuyang is young, with limitless future possibilities.

"Is it really you who refined it?"

"Yes."

"What about the formula?"

Chen Chuyang hesitated a moment, then replied, "I deduced it myself."

"The formula is fine; if the Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill's effect doesn't satisfy you, I can help you refine a stronger one—though you'll need to provide the materials yourself."

How much material is needed is not up to Chen Chuyang to decide.

This person before us is obviously a rich fool; we must swindle him.

Such a merchant, such a strong one, has plenty of treasures; bringing out the Azure Green Whale Heart Fire directly, even furrowing his brow a bit, shows he is truly wealthy.

"A fifth-grade pill is a bit lacking; let's talk again when you can refine eighth- to ninth-grade pills."

He looks down on fifth-grade pills, merely thinking the Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill is quite good and worth researching.

"Little friend, the formula for the Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill… would you sell it?"

"If you are willing to make a move, I, the poor Daoist, can offer you a satisfactory price."

Chen Chuyang furrowed his brows, his mind beginning to ponder.

To him, the formula is neither precious nor valuable.

He can continually deduce and improve the formula.

The formula in his hand is actually worthless; selling it to him for a decent price would also be a good thing.

"Little friend, the formula for the Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill is of little use to you; few people can use this pill, I'm sure you know that."

"Sell it to me, and I can guarantee one thing: I won't let your formula leak out."

Actually, even if it were leaked, there would be no problem.

No one would refine this kind of pill; a toxic pill has a high chance of killing oneself.

No pill refiner would refine this pill; there is no profit, and the refinement difficulty is not simple.

Even if refined, the effects of consumption are unknown; the toxicity is surely high, and if it poisoned someone, it would be troublesome.

No pill refiner wants to invite such trouble; reputation and credibility must still be maintained.

"Good." Chen Chuyang nodded and produced the formula for the Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill.

Lingtongdaoren is strong; if he were to directly seize it, he might be unable to resist.

Since he said all that, Chen Chuyang could not fail to be tactful.

Lingtongdaoren obtained the formula for the Desolate Dragon Five Poison Pill, overjoyed; he lowered his head to examine it thoroughly, ensuring its authenticity.

It's not fake; Chen Chuyang did not deceive himself.

"The formula is not bad."

Lingtongdaoren praised it in a sentence, then produced a book—accurately speaking, half a book—and tossed it to Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang hastily caught it; what entered his eyes were five characters.

Po Luo Alchemy Classic.

This is a classic, a classic on pill refining.

Heishanyang came over, took a glance, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow, it really is the Po Luo Alchemy Classic!"

"Kid, hurry and put it away—you've struck it rich; this is the treasure trove of pill refining from the Po Luo Alchemy Saint. Rumor has it this classic has been lost, yet I never expected to find it in your possession."

Lingtongdaoren laughed, saying, "This is something I, the poor Daoist, happened to obtain, and I've kept it hidden; if it weren't for this little friend whom I find pleasing to the eye, I would not bear to give it to him."

"Little friend, take note: the Po Luo Alchemy Classic only has the first half; the second half, I, the poor Daoist, also do not know."

"In the future, if you want the second half of the classic, you need to seek it yourself; with good luck, perhaps you will find it."

"However, don't harbor such hope; I, the poor Daoist, have searched for many years and still haven't found it."

"Just this half of the alchemy classic is enough to raise your pill-refining skill by at least two levels."

"Seventh- to eighth-grade pill refiners—within reach."

Only Chen Chuyang is worthy of him saying that; for others, he dare not guarantee they can advance to seventh- to eighth-grade pill refiners.

He knows the difficulty best; the advancement of a pill refiner is countless times harder than cultivation.

Especially the later levels, they are very hard to break through; some pill refiners spend their whole lives unable to break through.

It requires talent, comprehension, and luck—none can be lacking.

As for Chen Chuyang, there is this hope, and also this hope.

Lingtongdaoren thinks highly of him; this kid has a long future ahead, as long as he doesn't get stuck in a rut, he won't... stagnate.

"Little friend, this poor Daoist awaits the day you become an Eighth-Grade Alchemist."

Chen Chuyang's pupils contracted, and he immediately put away this scripture.

The Pill Scripture—it is the scripture of the Po Luo Alchemy Saint, which records everything about him.

Everything about Pill Refining.

This is a precious Pill Scripture, able to quickly enhance his Pill Refining.

Isn't what Chen Chuyang lacks precisely a Pill Scripture?

Pill Refining in this world is desperately lacking; there are few prescriptions, let alone scriptures—Chen Chuyang has searched for so long, yet couldn't find many.

All relying on one's own comprehension and deduction; this is too slow.

If he had prescription support, he could deduce quickly.

Currently, what he lacks is a lot of data—data on spiritual medicines, the foundations of prescriptions.
