Chapter 244: 244. Chapter 244: The Idea of Cross-Grade Alchemy

244. Chapter 244: The Idea of Cross-Grade Alchemy.

Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

This person was actually willing to wait for ten years rather than leave.

This was enough to explain one thing: the difficulty of refining the pill he wanted was simply too high, so high that most alchemists in this world couldn't refine it.

Including fourth-grade alchemists, I'm afraid very few could refine it.

Only in such a situation would he be willing to waste ten years to wait.

Otherwise, he could completely find someone else. Why did he need to spend so much time here?

Long Xuan couldn't help but be curious at this moment. What kind of pill was he refining that the difficulty would be so great?

A mere third-grade pill that most fourth-grade alchemists couldn't refine—it was truly interesting.

He couldn't help but become interested, so he asked curiously: "What kind of pill do you want exactly? Is it convenient for me to take a look?"

The burly man didn't hesitate. He had already lowered his posture at this moment and quickly took out a pill formula from his storage ring and handed it to Long Xuan with both hands.

Long Xuan immediately took the pill formula, but just by glancing at the first look, he was so scared that his hand trembled, and he almost threw the pill formula to the ground.

Good heavens, half of the materials were ice-attribute materials, and half were fire-attribute materials, and the materials used were all rare things in the world.

Ice and fire are mutually exclusive. Putting these two materials into an alchemy furnace would definitely explode the furnace.

What's more, he wanted to throw so many high-level materials into it. The explosion power produced would be enough to blow a third-grade alchemist to death alive.

Not just a third-grade alchemist, even a fourth-grade alchemist facing this kind of explosion would probably lose half his life if he didn't die.

Who wanted to see King Yama? Daring to refine this kind of pill formula.

At this moment, he finally knew why this burly man wanted to wait for ten years and was unwilling to leave.

Because there was simply no alchemist who dared to refine this kind of pill for him. Whoever had the guts to touch this kind of life-threatening thing, an alchemist with a slightly normal brain probably wouldn't touch this kind of pill formula.

Not to mention a third-grade alchemist, even a fourth-grade alchemist wouldn't risk his life to refine this kind of pill for him, no matter how high the reward he gave was.

"Ice and fire compatibility is definitely going to explode the furnace. Are you trying to blow me to death!" Long Xuan exclaimed subconsciously.

He hurriedly looked at the progress of the pill formula and found that it was actually 【100%】. He was even more shocked in his heart.

Ice and fire compatibility could actually form a pill? He didn't see it wrong, did he? It was actually his own ignorance.

At this moment, the burly man showed a bitter smile. Every alchemist who saw this kind of pill formula had this expression, and then scolded him and drove him away.

This alchemist behind this child was his last hope. If this one also refused, he really didn't know who to find.

"I'm not making fun of you. This pill formula is absolutely true. As long as you form the pill, it won't explode the furnace. Instead, it will become a divine pill that attracts anomalies. It definitely has research value. You study this pill formula, and you definitely won't lose."

"Don't you have an Honesty Gu? Take out the Honesty Gu, and you will know that what I said is not false."

Long Xuan already knew through the progress that this pill formula was true, so naturally, there was no need to take out the Honesty Gu, so he said:

"I can still trust this brother's words. I don't know what the effect of this pill is exactly?"

The burly man explained: "This pill is called the Ice-Fire Polar Pill. The refining difficulty is extremely great and extremely dangerous. Its function is to detoxify Gu, and it can detoxify most Gu in this world."

"No matter what kind of Gu you have been infected with, you can try to use the Ice-Fire Polar Pill to detoxify it."

"To tell you the truth, I was infected with the Spirit-Sealing Gu by the Feng Clan. Those infected with this Gu will have a long worm crawling in their spirit sea, sucking the spiritual power in the spirit sea at all times until the person is sucked into a useless person."

"And those infected with this Gu will have most of their spiritual power suppressed by the Spirit-Sealing Gu, leading to a drop in cultivation realm."

"So I am now just an Essence-Refining Gu Master. There is no way to detoxify this Gu. Only the Ice-Fire Polar Pill has the possibility of killing this Gu."

Hearing that this person was now just an Essence-Refining Gu Master, Long Xuan didn't take him seriously at all at this moment.

A mere Essence-Refining Gu Master, he could beat him to death without even using the Life and Death Gate.

"I am really at the end of my rope, so I have to entrust it to your master. I hope you can make it convenient."

"I will pack all the materials on your wall, as long as you can ask your master to take action once!"

The burly man looked at Long Xuan nervously and said.

Hearing this, Long Xuan's heart moved. The materials he hung on the wall were not easy to collect. Those were all extremely difficult materials to collect for refining the Three-Legged Golden Toad.

However, worried that someone would recognize that these were materials for refining the Three-Legged Golden Toad, he only dared to put up a small half, and also mixed in many materials unrelated to the Three-Legged Golden Toad.

This person could actually pack all the materials on the wall in one breath?

Being so generous, it seemed that this person was also not a simple character.

That's right, someone who could be infected with Gu by the Feng Clan, how could they be a simple character?

Long Xuan's eyes rolled. He was really a bit tempted at this moment. There was no way, this person gave too much.

He was about to set sail, and had no time to collect the materials on the wall again. If someone could pack those materials in one breath, then he couldn't ask for more.

Long Xuan showed a thoughtful look. He was considering whether this business should be accepted, and once accepted, how he would refine that kind of third-grade pill.

Can a second-grade alchemist theoretically refine a third-grade spirit pill? Long Xuan suddenly had such a bold idea in his heart at this moment.

It seems that in theory, most things can be successful. Cross-grade alchemy might really be realized in this world.

A third-grade alchemist has nothing more than alchemy technique, powerful soul power, and spiritual power than a second-grade alchemist.

If a second-grade alchemist can satisfy these three points at the same time, then what's wrong with refining a third-grade spirit pill across grades?

Long Xuan's heart beat. The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He really felt that the possibility of him refining a third-grade spirit pill across grades was very high at this moment.

The first point, alchemy technique, naturally goes without saying. He was confident that the alchemy technique of Old Long, a third-grade alchemist, was not as good as his own, so he should be able to satisfy the third-grade alchemy technique.

In terms of soul power, he had lived for two lives and practiced the heaven-defying "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Divine Art".

In terms of spiritual power, he was a Ten Extremes Body. His innate spiritual power was already much higher than those of the same rank, not to mention that the quality of his mutated spiritual power was extremely pure and more durable.

Of course, relying only on this degree might still be a bit far-fetched to refine a third-grade spirit pill across grades.

But what if there were five clones to assist? With the soul power of five clones to assist, and the spiritual power of five clones to assist, whether it was soul power or spiritual power, it would definitely be able to reach the standard of a third-grade alchemist.

He was different from others. Even if a hundred second-grade alchemists refined a furnace of third-grade spirit pills together, they would fail 100% because the tacit understanding was insufficient and the spiritual power was different.

Medicine boys assisting alchemists in refining pills only played a role of icing on the cake and could never enable an alchemist to refine pills across grades.

But Long Xuan's clones could achieve 100% tacit understanding with the main body, and the nature of spiritual power was the same.

It could be completely said that the clone was him, and he was the clone. They were the same person in the strict sense.

So in this situation, the clone could really play a role in assisting him in cross-grade alchemy.

Cross-grade alchemy for alchemists could definitely be realized in theory.

Long Xuan immediately made a decision in his heart. He accepted this business.

He would spend some time next to work hard on this new type of alchemy technique, named "Mass Alchemy Technique", which was limited to those with multiple births and external clones to learn.

After Long Xuan made the decision, he put on a casual look and said: "The materials I hung on the wall are not low in value. Seeing that you are so sincere, I will take care of this matter."

"However, it is true that my master is in seclusion. It will take a long time for him to come out to refine pills for you."

"You must need to wait for a long time. You must be mentally prepared."

Long Xuan said this sentence naturally to make time for himself to study the "Mass Alchemy Technique".

Cross-grade alchemy belongs to going against heaven. This kind of technique is definitely not so easy to research, so he needs to leave himself enough time.

Hearing this, the burly man was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Then thank you, little friend. Rest assured, I have half of the things you want on me, and I have absolute certainty that I can collect the other half."

"I will give you the deposit first, and also, these are the materials for refining the Ice-Fire Polar Pill, I will give them to you together."

The burly man was afraid that Long Xuan would suddenly go back on his word, so he hurriedly poured out a pile of materials from his storage ring.

Apparently, his storage ring was similar to the third young master's storage ring, not only with huge space but also capable of holding both living and dead things at the same time.

Long Xuan nodded, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, calmly swept away the mountain of materials on the ground, and then walked toward the outside without looking back.

After this incident, Long Xuan knew that he must leave here as soon as possible.

Because his master's fame was simply too great. If he continued to stay here, he didn't know how many high-realm people would come to the door to seek medicine.

If a Gu King really came, did he still have to refine a fourth-grade pill across grades? That was absolutely impossible.

So while the Gu King hadn't come to the door, slip away as soon as possible. This time it was really pretending too much.

He hurried to the port, found a place with the most people, and shouted loudly: "Recruiting crew members! Recruiting crew members!"

"Urgent need for a navigator who understands celestial phenomena, a first mate with rich sailing experience, and a hunter with experience in hunting sea beasts."

"A chef with amazing cooking skills, a gunner with precise shooting, and many sailors with long-distance sailing experience."

"Ship doctor, shipwright, helmsman, all kinds of crew members with special abilities are needed."

"This ship is about to set sail for the Sky Island. Anyone who wants to go to the Sky Island to look for treasures together can become a crew member of this ship, just take an oath in front of the Honesty Gu to absolutely obey the orders of this captain and be absolutely loyal to this captain."

"Now anyone interested can come to sign up! Don't miss it!"

As soon as Long Xuan said this, everyone nearby showed excitement and ran over one after another.

It should be known that at this time, the Sky Island ruins were about to open. I don't know how many people wanted to go to the Sky Island ruins to look for treasures.

But to go to the Sky Island ruins, you must have a large ship. Most Gu Masters didn't have the strength to build a large ship alone, right?

So they could only choose to hitch a ride, choose to take someone else's ship to the Sky Island.

But would other people's ships be taken for free? Many people made a fortune from this, charging high boarding fees. Those who boarded the ship had to bleed once before finding treasures.

And there were very few people who knew the technology of building large ships, and the number of large ships was naturally very small. At this time, it was obviously that there were few ships and many people, and the supply was in short supply.

Most people were destined not to be able to board the ship and could only give up this opportunity with regret.

At this time, there were already a large number of Gu Masters waiting for ships here, from various regions inland, looking for large ships that could be boarded.

So anyone who recruited crew members who wanted to go to the Sky Island here would be full instantly, everyone scrambling to apply, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Especially since this ship didn't seem to charge a boarding fee, the attraction to everyone was even greater.

"Choose me!"

"Choose me!"

The crowd was chaotic, running toward Long Xuan like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by applicants, all looking at him with burning eyes.

Long Xuan was startled. He didn't expect so many people to come.

There were actually so many people rushing to the Sky Island to die. He really didn't understand. Is it not good to be alive? The Sky Island ruins are so dangerous, what is there to go to? Are they all so not afraid of death?

Since there were so many competitors and it was so involutionary, Long Xuan could only raise the threshold. He shouted to the crowd around him: "This ship only recruits geniuses who are invincible in the Essence-Refining stage, and does not charge any boarding fees. Those whose combat power is not enough can step down."

As soon as his voice fell, no one stepped down.

Long Xuan had black lines all over his head. Are their faces all so thick? Don't they have any self-awareness about what their strength is?

No way, he could only shout again: "This ship only recruits Essence-Refining peak Gu Masters, and does not recruit those with crooked minds. Those with crooked minds, please step down consciously. Don't forget that I have an Honesty Gu, which can judge who has a crooked mind."

"Those who cannot satisfy these three points, please step down immediately!"

As soon as this sentence came out, those Gu Masters below the Essence-Refining late stage could only shake their heads in disappointment and step down helplessly.

There was also a considerable number of Essence-Refining Gu Masters whose faces changed, their eyes changing back and forth. Thinking that they couldn't withstand the interrogation of the Honesty Gu, they also consciously stepped down.

An Honesty Gu was enough to filter out the crew members with bad character in the crowd.

Crew members with too bad character must absolutely not be recruited, no matter how strong their strength was, they must absolutely not be recruited.

Otherwise, who knew if this kind of person would stab you in the back? Once it was time to share treasures, this group of people would easily cause trouble. He didn't want to waste energy guarding against thieves day and night.

Long Xuan had always been curious about a question, that was how many people in this world had never done bad things.

At this moment, he already knew the answer to this question. Just now, there was a sea of people around him. After he asked this sentence, the sea of people retreated like a tide.

The surroundings were instantly quiet, and a breeze blew, leaving it empty here.

The people were actually cleared instantly, and only a few people were still standing here. At this time, the number of people left was less than two digits.

Long Xuan's heart trembled. It was really a world where evil people prevailed.

At this moment, only nine people were left in front of him, six male Gu Masters and three female Gu Masters. The three female Gu Masters all had good appearances.

Ladies first, Long Xuan prepared to interview these three beautiful Gu Masters first.

He looked at the cute-looking beautiful Gu Master closest to him and asked: "Have you ever done bad things?"

At the same time, he took out the Honesty Gu and placed it on his shoulder.

Miao Peipei looked at the Honesty Gu on his shoulder with interest, showed an interested look, and smiled: "No! I have never done bad things!"

As soon as her voice fell, the eyes of the Honesty Gu emitted strong light, but fortunately, it didn't pounce on her angrily.

Miao Peipei showed an extremely embarrassed expression, her eyes began to dodge, and she said with a guilty conscience: "Alright! I secretly drove my father's Azure Wood Ship out and accidentally sank it, and I haven't dared to go home yet!"

"I swear! I have only done this one bad thing so far!"

"So I want to find some treasures on the Sky Island to compensate for my father's loss!"

She lowered her head and stuck out her tongue. Seeing that the eyes of the Honesty Gu didn't emit light, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Xuan looked at her with a strange face. The cost of a large ship was so expensive, and she actually accidentally sank it.

Which unlucky guy gave birth to such a wasteful daughter? It was simply eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Her father must have been angry to the point of fainting at that time. He couldn't help but sympathize with her poor father.

However, although this woman was hateful, she was still within an acceptable range.

He knew that he couldn't kill everyone with one stick. How could there be so many people in this world who had never done bad things? If he really killed everyone with one stick, there would really be no one left.

So Long Xuan said again: "What special skills do you have?"

To board his ship, it was not enough to have good character; one must also have ability and be able to help him.

He didn't want to raise a group of people who only ate dry rice. If this woman couldn't take out a special skill that satisfied him, then she could only be eliminated. Being cute was useless.

Miao Peipei immediately answered: "I have the Azure Wood Body and can ripen spirit herbs."

"You must never think that this kind of ability is useless at sea."

"It is very difficult to eat fresh fruits and vegetables at sea, and if people can't eat fruits and vegetables for a long time at sea, they will get sick."

"At sea, there is no village in front and no shop in the back. Once you get sick, it is a very dangerous thing."

"And although my ability to ripen spirit herbs is not so fast, the speed of ripening fruits and vegetables in the mortal world is simply too fast."

"I only need seven days to successfully ripen fruits and vegetables in the mortal world. Of course, if you want to eat spirit fruits, then there is no such speed at all."

Hearing this, Long Xuan's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good special skill.

The ingredients at sea were monotonous, which would reduce the quality of life. With such a girl who could ripen fruits and vegetables, he could eat all kinds of vegetarian dishes every day.

So she must be counted as one. He had decided on this crew member. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 245 =====

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan's eyes lit up; this was indeed a rather impressive special skill.

Ingredients at sea were monotonous, which would lower the quality of life; with such a young girl who could ripen fruits and vegetables, he would be able to eat all kinds of fresh vegetables every day.

Therefore, she had to be included; he was determined to have this crew member. (End of chapter)
