Chapter 1071: Wen Tiansheng's Thoughts

"That's right."

After Wang Jianqiang's words fell, Wen Tiansheng nodded.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Brother, you also know the attitude these powers in the Eight Continents have toward my Immortal Abandoned Land. If I do this, wouldn't I be helping the enemy?"

After a moment of silence, Wen Tiansheng sighed, "There is no other way. If those powerful figures from those factions are slaughtered, Youzhou and even the other continents will be occupied by the Sea Clan. By then, once the Sea Clan discovers the Immortal Abandoned Land's ability to extend the lifespan of living beings, the Immortal Abandoned Land will only be in greater danger."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "What you say is correct, Brother. In that case, I will help refine them."

Wang Jianqiang agreed too readily.

So readily that Wen Tiansheng felt a wave of surprise; the bellyful of persuasive words he had already prepared were stifled right back.

He looked at Wang Jianqiang, his face full of astonishment, "You agreed?"

Wang Jianqiang shrugged, "You are right, Brother. The Sea Clan is more powerful than the Eight Continents. If the Sea Clan discovers the unique aspects of the Immortal Abandoned Land, the Immortal Abandoned Land will not have the slightest chance."

"Since that is the case, I no longer have a reason to refuse."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tiansheng still felt some suspicion in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Wang Jianqiang, this kid shouldn't be this easy to talk to.

"Is that really what you think, kid? You had better not mess with the pills!"

"This is a critical period. Every Great Vehicle Stage cultivator is extremely important to Youzhou; we need to stand united against the common enemy."

"If you cause trouble at a time like this, you will surely become the target of everyone's wrath."

"If that happens, I won't be able to protect you."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Brother. You know my character; how could I possibly do such underhanded things?"

"I am not that kind of person."

Wen Tiansheng was silent for a moment upon hearing this.

It was precisely because he knew this kid too well that he felt worried.

This kid was bold enough to defy the heavens, and he was the most shameless person he had ever met in his life.

Others might not be able to or dare to do such a thing.

But with this kid, it was truly hard to say.

However, he had already told Wang Jianqiang the pros and cons; with Wang Jianqiang's intelligence, he surely knew how to act.

He nodded and did not continue to urge him.

After pondering for a moment, he continued, "Just a short while ago, reports came from the front lines in Youzhou: one Great Vehicle Stage cultivator on the Youzhou side was killed in battle, ten were lightly injured, and five were severely injured."

"The Eighth-Tier Healing Pill must be refined as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Sea Clan's Great Vehicle Stage powerhouses launch another full-scale assault on the defensive line, those five severely injured people will likely perish."

"The Eighth-Rank Alchemist from Youzhou is already at the front lines and has begun secluded meditation to refine pills. However, while maintaining a certain success rate, he can refine at most two pills at a time."

"Based on his past alchemy speed, it will take nearly a month to refine them."

Having said this, he stared at Wang Jianqiang, "If you were given a month, how many Eighth-Tier Pills could you refine?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment and held up one finger.

Wen Tiansheng was startled, "You can only refine one in a month? That speed is slower than that local Eighth-Rank Alchemist from Youzhou, but it is still acceptable."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "I meant one per year."

Wen Tiansheng's expression froze, "So slow?"

Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "Not to mention that the success rate for refining Eighth-Tier Pills is already low, refining them also consumes a massive amount of an Alchemist's Spiritual Power. I am only at the Spirit Transformation Stage; I need to recover my Spiritual Power many times during the alchemy process just to hold on."

"The time spent just recovering Spiritual Power accounts for at least the majority of the process; this speed is already considered quite fast."

"Too slow."

Wen Tiansheng shook his head, "Is there any way to speed up the alchemy?"

Wang Jianqiang thought for a moment and slowly nodded, "Yes."

"What method?" Wen Tiansheng asked with delight.

"My alchemy speed is limited by my low cultivation and insufficient Spiritual Power. If you want to speed up my alchemy, we naturally have to make changes at the source."

"Currently, there are two solutions."

"First, raise my strength to the Void Refinement Stage. If that happens, I could refine at least four Eighth-Tier Pills within a month."

"Second, accelerate my Spiritual Power recovery speed."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tiansheng spoke up immediately, "Tell me how to implement the second method specifically."

Raising one's cultivation could not be done overnight.

Not to mention raising it to the Void Refinement Stage?

With the talent Wang Jianqiang had displayed, reaching the Void Refinement Stage was naturally no problem, but there was absolutely no time for that.

Wang Jianqiang smiled upon hearing this and continued, "As for pills that quickly recover cultivation, I do have a few Pill Formulas on me."

"Brother just needs to provide me with the Medicinal Herbs for refining the pills."

Wen Tiansheng nodded, "Give me the Pill Formula, and I will send people to arrange it right away."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, took out a blank Jade Slip, and pressed it against his forehead.

After imprinting all the Medicinal Herbs he needed into the Jade Slip, he handed it to Wen Tiansheng.

Wen Tiansheng took the Jade Slip and subconsciously submerged his Spirit Sense into it.

The next moment.

He "looked" at the thousands of Medicinal Herb names inside the Jade Slip and was left stunned.

It took quite a while for him to come back to his senses.

With a twitching face, he looked at Wang Jianqiang, "You little bastard, what kind of pill are you refining that requires so many herbs?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression did not change in the slightest, and he faced Wen Tiansheng's sharp gaze with a calm demeanor, "Brother, you may not know this, but my Pill Formula is somewhat unique, so it requires slightly more raw materials."

The hell does he mean by "slightly more"?

Wen Tiansheng's expression stiffened for a moment.

As the master of a top-tier power, he naturally did not lack vision.

He had seen many Pill Formulas with complex raw materials.

Even among the more difficult-to-refine Eighth-Rank Alchemy Prescriptions, they only required a hundred or so types of raw materials.

This kid was only at the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Even if his Pill was peculiar, it was only a Level 5 Pill.

Could it really require over a thousand types of Medicinal Herb?

He seriously suspected that this kid was scamming him, and this kid had quite a few prior records of similar things.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Wang Jianqiang, it's not that I don't believe you, the key is that your Pill consumes too much."

"How about this, our Beast Taming Sect still has quite a few Pill Formula stocks, among which there are ones for quickly restoring Spiritual Power; how about you go and pick one from our inventory to refine?"

Wang Jianqiang frowned upon hearing this.

He then sighed and nodded, "That works too. Although this Pill Formula has good efficacy and less Pill Poison, the requirements for refining it are indeed a bit too high."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang nod in agreement, Wen Tiansheng felt a weight lift from his heart.

However, before he could be happy for too long, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again, "But Alchemy is an extremely rigorous process; using my own Pill Formula, I can guarantee that during the Spiritual Power recovery period, I will keep my Spiritual Power fluctuations to a minimum and will not affect the Alchemy."

"But if I choose a prescription from the Beast Taming Sect's inventory to use, I cannot guarantee that."

"If too many Medicinal Herb are wasted while refining an Eighth-Tier Pill, or if the timing is missed, I will not take responsibility."
