Chapter 58: The Ultimate of Alchemy!

"Medicine Elder, do you have a good relationship with Medicine Bai Li senior?"

Yao Yan smiled and said, "He is also an elder of your mother's lineage, he also counts as one of my juniors, and back then I even gave Yao Bai Li some pointers on alchemy."

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.

Yao Yan said, "I suppose Medicine Bai Li has already recognized you. After the alchemy exchange conference ends, we can ask him about your mother's situation."

Ye Chen's voice trembled, "My mother..."

He could not imagine his mother's appearance; he could only know from Yao Yan's few words that his mother was of peerless beauty and unrivaled grace.

Yao Yan said indifferently, "Alright, first listen carefully to these alchemists' lectures."

The next three days.

Several Heavenly-tier alchemists took turns going up to expound their alchemy philosophies.

The last one was the Pill Saint Yunyang of the Supreme Profound Sect.

Nangong Bailue and the others were extremely excited.

The Yunyang Pill Saint wore a gray robe, a quasi-Emperor-tier alchemy furnace appeared in his hand, while expounding his alchemy theory he also refined pills.

Wafts of pill aroma floated about, the Yunyang Pill Saint lingered amid a mist, appearing transcendent and unworldly.

The Yunyang Pill Saint shared many of his insights and experiences in alchemy, eliciting sighs of admiration from the crowd.

After several hours.

The Yunyang Pill Saint gave a brief summary: "I believe that on the path of alchemy, besides talent, one also needs disposition, and even more so diligence; no one can improve their alchemy prowess by lying down."

Everyone expressed agreement.

Lu Xuan blinked, saying that this meant he wouldn't be sleepy anymore.

He is the one who improves alchemy prowess while lying down!

Finally, the Yunyang Pill Saint shared that he had recently read an alchemy classic, and slowly said, "Everyone, what do you think is the ultimate of alchemy?"

The crowd discussed heatedly.

"The ultimate of alchemy is nothing more than refining pills of higher grade!"

"Those Heavenly-tier supreme pills are all formed under the tempering of thunder and lightning; this is probably the ultimate of alchemy, right?"

"Heavenly-tier pills are not the limit; there must be even more profound pills above the Heavenly-tier!"

Listening to the discussion, the Yunyang Pill Saint smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, in that classic I read, there is a pill that transcends the Heavenly-tier; this pill has already given birth to spiritual intelligence, taken on human form, appearing as a gray-robed elder."

As he spoke, the Yunyang Pill Saint flicked his sleeve, condensing the image of that pill from the classic into spirit patterns.

Above the Void, a gray-robed elder appeared.

Human-shaped pill!

Everyone was somewhat shocked.

This exceeded their comprehension!

Does this world truly have a human-shaped pill that has given birth to spiritual intelligence?

If one were to swallow this human-shaped pill, wouldn't they be able to break through the Emperor realm and reach the legendary supreme realm?

Lu Xuan's mouth corner slightly rose.

To be honest, the appearance of that gray-robed elder reminded him of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

However, that pill is merely a prototype of an Emperor pill...

On the high platform, the Yunyang Pill Saint smiled and said, "So I think we alchemists need to open our minds; if our vision is limited, our alchemy prowess will also stagnate."

A tremendous wave surged in everyone's hearts.

The human-shaped pill caused many alchemists to erupt in excitement.

This alchemy exchange conference, they truly did not come in vain!

At that moment.

The Yunyang Pill Saint looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, do you have any higher opinions on the ultimate of alchemy?"

The venue fell silent, not even a sparrow's chirp.

The Yunyang Pill Saint had shared the matter of the human-shaped pill, and everyone had already been shocked.

A single word overwhelmed tens of thousands of alchemists!

Nothing is more exciting than a human-shaped pill!

Ye Chen looked at Lu Xuan, very hoping Lu Xuan would share that astonishing alchemy theory.

But Lu Xuan wore a listless expression, as if detached from the affair.

Ye Chen hesitated a moment, feeling his master's alchemy theory should not be buried!

He wanted to vindicate his master!

Thinking of this,

Lu Xuan directly stood up, "Senior Yunyang, I have something to say."

In an instant.

Everyone looked toward Ye Chen.

What?

Ye Chen actually also has an alchemy theory?

In the Supreme Profound Sect area, Nangong Bailue coldly smirked, stood up and rebuked, "Sit down! You can't even do alchemy, what could you possibly say? Just trying to show off? Don't embarrass yourself!"

Ye Chen snorted and directly ignored Nangong Bailue.

Brainless oaf!

The Yunyang Pill Saint gave a dry cough twice, waved his hand at Nangong Bailue, "Bailue, please sit down. Let Little Friend Ye Chen speak."

For a moment, Ye Chen became the center of the entire venue.

Yao Bai Li looked at Ye Chen with great interest, wanting to know what Ye Chen would say.

Ye Chen looked toward the void and slowly said, "Why must alchemy be confined to the alchemy furnace?"

"Moreover, heaven and earth are the furnace, creation the craftsman; yin and yang are the charcoal, all things the copper."

The sound fell!

The arena fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked at Ye Chen in utter shock.

What an alchemy theory!

Using heaven and earth as the furnace!

Creation as the craftsman!

Yin and yang as the charcoal!

All things as copper!

Even a Great Emperor would probably be unable to do it!

The power of heaven and earth is majestic, the hand of creation mysterious, the yin-yang qi mechanism obscure, all things follow their own principles.

Can these things also be incorporated into the heaven-and-earth furnace?

Everyone's hearts were stirred by towering waves!

Everyone carefully savored the terrifying idea Ye Chen had spoken.

Suddenly.

Nangong Bai Xue stood up, her bare hand pointing at Ye Chen as she mocked, "Hehe. Do you even know what you're saying? Heaven and earth as the furnace, creation as the craftsman... You're just too extravagant! To attract attention, you're spouting nonsense here!"

The sound fell!

Everyone looked at Nangong Bai Xue in utter fury.

Damn Nangong Bai Xue, she suddenly spoke, interrupting their train of thought!

Cang Li even more so rose directly, let out a cold snort, and a wave of Saint King's domineering power shot toward Nangong Bai Xue.

Boom!

Nangong Bai Xue was directly blasted flying hundreds of zhang, heavily crashing to the ground!

"Pfft!"

Nangong Bai Xue spat out a mouthful of essence blood, incredulously looking at Cang Li.

She did not understand.

Why did Elder Cang Li suddenly lash out at her?

Elder Cang Li's black robe billowed as he coldly gazed at Yunyang the Alchemy Saint, "Yunyang, discipline your own disciple! Don't let her embarrass herself here!"

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

I never expected that Elder Cang Li would step in to discipline Nangong Bai Xue!

On the Void High Platform, Yunyang the Alchemy Saint wore a look of anger, "Cang Li! My disciple is not for you to discipline!"

Saying that, Yunyang the Alchemy Saint flicked his sleeve, and a gentle force flowed into Nangong Bai Xue's body.

Nangong Bai Xue climbed up from the ground, her face flushed, "Thank you, Master!"

Yunyang the Alchemy Saint looked at Nangong Bai Xue, "Alright, go back, don't speak anymore."

Nangong Bai Xue bit her lip, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

She looked at Ye Chen with utter resentment!

At this moment her heart was filled with killing intent toward Ye Chen!

It's all because of Ye Chen that she was embarrassed in public!

But she still didn't understand why Ye Chen was spouting nonsense, yet everyone was so shocked.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the arena, a tremendous aura surged, the might of a Saint King and the might of a Saint like an abyss and sea, suddenly rising in this place.

Dan Xiangzi, Yao Bai Li, Gu Yuefang and the other Heavenly Tier Alchemists rose to their feet.

They looked thoughtfully at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, continue."

Ye Chen froze for a moment.

I never expected the reaction of the many Heavenly Tier Alchemists to be so intense!

He glanced at Lu Xuan, who wore an expression of calm indifference, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Ye Chen sighed, his master's realm is simply too high!

He continued, "The ultimate of alchemy can take the starry sky as the furnace, the Great Dao as the spiritual herb, the river of time as the spiritual flame, refining the heavens..."

Upon saying that, everyone was stunned again.

Using the starry sky as the furnace!

Using the Great Dao as the spiritual herb!

Using the river of time as the spiritual flame!

Refining the heavens!

What a grand undertaking!

At least a Great Emperor Realm cultivator couldn't do it!

But this alchemy concept deeply shocked their hearts.

They felt as if they had touched a hint of something extraordinary!

Ye Chen watched the expressions of the many Heavenly Tier Alchemists, his heart also stirred with excitement.

This is my master's alchemy theory!

Amazing, like a heavenly being!

Yao Yan's voice rang out, his voice trembling slightly, 'Peak Master Lu's words, no matter when you hear them, are always shocking!'

The crowd was spellbound, though they were still a hundred and eight thousand miles from the realm Ye Chen described, they nonetheless glimpsed the future 'Dao'.

Nangong Baxue frowned slightly, not understanding why everyone was so shocked.

Even his master showed a shocked expression.

Isn't Ye Chen just talking nonsense?

Nangong Baxue muttered softly, 'Isn't that just nonsense? I could also say refining the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone into pills, refining the people of the Qingcheng Ye family into pills... who can't do that?'

A moment later.

Elder Cangli slowly opened his eyes, rose directly into the air, and descended before Ye Chen.

His complexion was withered, wrinkles like gullies, his eyes like deep abyss shadows; Elder Cangli looked at Ye Chen with intense excitement, his voice trembling, 'Is this... the ultimate of alchemy?'

Ye Chen felt a chill run through him.

Seeing Elder Cangli up close, he was truly terrifying, like an old ghost.

Ye Chen shook his head. 'No.'

Elder Cangli gazed at Ye Chen, 'What then is the ultimate of alchemy? In this world there always exists a supreme alchemist; perhaps he could achieve what you say!'

Ye Chen said lightly.

'Ultimate? The path of cultivation, the way of alchemy—where is there an ultimate?'

'So-called supreme is merely the end of the road.'

Elder Cangli stood frozen in place.

He murmured under his breath, 'So-called supreme is merely the end of the road...'

This sentence is too profound!

Ye Chen excitedly looked toward Lu Xuan; he never expected his master's alchemy theory to provoke such a reaction!

Master is simply amazing!

He would call him a god!

Seeing Ye Chen's excited state, Lu Xuan wore a speechless expression.

No.

When did Ye Chen memorize his master's words verbatim!

It's not that serious!

Suddenly.

Elder Cangli grabbed Ye Chen's hand, causing him some pain, 'Speak quickly! Who told you these words? I want to meet him!'

Lu Xuan said calmly, 'Hey, you hurt my disciple.'

Elder Cangli gave Lu Xuan a sideways glance.

What presence are you seeking here as a mere Qi Refining cultivator?

Can't be bothered with you!

Elder Cangli completely ignored Lu Xuan, but also released Ye Chen.

Boom boom boom!

Dozens of figures descended directly before Ye Chen, surrounding him and Lu Xuan.

They are all Heavenly Tier Alchemists!

Danxiangzi, Yaobaili, Gu Fangyue, and others!

They looked down on Ye Chen with excited expressions.

Ye Chen staggered for a moment, 'Seniors, what is this?'

Danxiangzi smiled and said, 'Ye Chen, who spoke these words? Could you introduce us?'
