Chapter 595: Great Alchemy Guide

"A Celestial Pill never before made?" Yan Buji's expression changed.

That statement is rather vague, because the effects of a pill are just that, and even if I could devise a formula, it might still coincide with someone else's.

So the problem is, Yan Buji also doesn't know any Celestial Pill formula; conjuring one out of thin air is not that simple.

"Besides, I've never refined a Celestial Pill; what should I do?"

Although there's no time limit, a Celestial Pill isn't something that can be made just by saying 'refine'.

Four-turn Pill reaching a superior grade will attract a Pill Refining Tribulation, and Six-turn Celestial Pill's formation is bound to have a Pill Refining Tribulation.

His Lightning-avoiding Pill might not even work on a Six-turn Celestial Pill.

"So I have to ponder it; never before... that means the effect must be something ordinary people can't conceive."

Yan Buji thought for a moment, and based on his existing knowledge, he took paper and brush and wrote down a pill formula.

"Can this be cultivated? No, it requires Celestial Material...."

"How to refine Celestial Material.... still needs auxiliary substances."

"Can it become a pill?"

Yan Buji, with a puzzled expression, stared at the formula he had written, scrutinized it for a long time, and only then made a decision.

"I need these Spiritual Materials and Celestial Materials....."

Yan Buji recited the ingredients of his formula, and many Spiritual Materials and Celestial Materials materialized out of thin air.

"Let's try. According to the formula I designed, it shouldn't be hard to refine."

Yan Buji's palm ignited, and he began refining the Spiritual Materials and Celestial Materials.

Half a month later.

Yan Buji finished refining all Celestial and Spiritual Materials, swallowed a few mana-restoring pills, and continued refining.

Another two months passed.

Yan Buji took a deep breath, watching the elixir in his palm gradually coalesce, forming a pill under the scorching of Heavenly Fire!

Boom!

Yan Buji released his Martial Avatar to aid the pill's formation.

As the Pill Refining Tribulation descended, its intensity this time was weaker than the Five-turn Superior Pill Yan Buji had previously refined, but after it passed, a golden pill appeared before Yan Buji, emitting an extremely rich medicinal fragrance that soothed the heart and filled the air.

"The pill has become Six-turn; truly a Celestial Pill!"

Yan Buji chuckled; although this Celestial Pill is of little use, its quality is indeed extraordinary.

"I've completed the pill! Now watch!"

Yan Buji picked up his own Celestial Pill, confident that no one else could have refined such a pill.

The surrounding atmosphere remained silent for a long while, and a phantom suddenly appeared in the great hall.

"I didn't expect anyone to use so many Celestial and Spiritual Materials to refine such a thing; what exactly were you thinking?"

Yan Buji looked at the phantom, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the Sect Leader of Yao Wang Sect, Le Sheng!"

The last sect head whose Yao Wang Sect was destroyed by Heaven's Punishment?

Nevertheless, as a senior, Yan Buji clasped his hands and said, "I am Yan Buji, I've seen you before."

"Why did you think that, wasting so many Spiritual and Celestial Materials to refine this thing?"

"Putting that aside, tell me whether this is a Celestial Pill?"

"Yes! Then what use does your Celestial Pill have? It's all flash and no function!" Le Sheng seemed very angry as he stared at Yan Buji.

Yan Buji smiled, "Why is it useless? This Celestial Pill specifically cures itching on the body."

"And then?"

"You eat it, and the itch disappears."

"Is it possible that if it itches you can just scratch it?"

"Then don't worry; once eaten, it won't itch."

Le Sheng was silent for a long while, "You can refine pills."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Did you really think I was praising you? How did someone like you become an Alchemist?" Le Sheng was speechless; in the past he had seen many alchemy geniuses here, and today he didn't expect to meet a talent.

Yan Buji, with a dissatisfied look, said, "So will you give it or not? If not, I'm leaving."

"Sigh," Le Sheng sighed, "Seeing your technique, you use External Refinement Technique without needing an Alchemical Furnace. Since that's the case, I will pass you my sect's secret Great Alchemy Guide, hoping you will make good use of it."

As he spoke, a jade tablet appeared before Yan Buji; he held it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank you, senior."

"You may go."

After a whirl of heaven and earth, Yan Buji found himself outside.

"All in all, it wasn't in vain," Yan Buji smiled. Although he didn't find the legendary Ascension Mechanism, this Great Alchemy Guide is quite powerful, mainly because it is a complete Alchemy Technique, more systematic and standardized than the methods Yan Buji devised himself.

The advantage is that Alchemists inevitably make mistakes when refining pills; if they follow a systematic procedure, errors are easily spotted and corrected.

"Hmm, now that I've obtained the Great Alchemy Guide, I'll find a place to contemplate for a while, then use the refined pills to build reputation, so that..."

"Ouch!!!"

Before Yan Buji could react, two figures suddenly appeared before him, shrieked, and tackled him down.

"Hey, who? Get off!" Yan Buji shouted hurriedly.

The surrounding cultivators looked over, eyes widening, "Isn't that Hu Xianzi and Jiu Yue Xianzi?!"

"Why were they also driven out?"

"Really envy that old man, he actually..."

Hu Meili and Jiu Yue Xianzi squinted, their faces in pain, and got up: "Hu Xianzi, are you okay?"

"You old thing, have no shame!"

Hu Meili felt the hand on her waist and slapped Yan Buji's face!

Hm?

Yan Buji's expression changed, and he reached out to seize her wrist: "This fairy, you both suddenly appeared and pounced into my arms—why are you still hitting people?"

"You old thing, I think you just deserve a beating!"

"You take face but give none?!"

Yan Buji kicked Jiu Yue Xianzi aside, rolled to his feet, and coldly stared at the two of them.

"Hey, you can fight her, but why kick me?!" Jiu Yue Xianzi, having been kicked for no reason, glared angrily at Yan Buji.

"I don't think either of you are good people picking on this old man; I'm already this old, and you still try to pull a scam on me, huh?"

Hu Meili, fuming, said: "How dare you speak to me like that—do you know who I am?"

"Just a flirty fox, what are you pretending? I've killed hundreds, even thousands, of monsters—how could I be scared of you, flirty fox?!"

"You dare insult me?!" Hu Meili, angry, rushed forward, ready to strike.

Yan Buji, unwilling to let her gain the initiative, lunged forward and kicked her in the stomach!

"Ow!" Hu Meili cried out miserably, clutching her stomach and squatting down in pain.

"I'll give you a lesson today, and later I'll make it so you can't bear children anymore!" Yan Buji shouted, then immediately glanced at Jiu Yue Xianzi.

Jiu Yue Xianzi flinched; she had never seen an elder so hot‑tempered, yet she raised her head and forced a calm tone: "Fellow cultivator, we only have a slight misunderstanding—why resort to violence? This is Hu Meili, Hu Xianzi of the Qing Fox Clan."

Qing Fox Clan?

I told you there shouldn't be fox people here.

Seeing things go wrong, Yan Buji snorted: "I'm not one of those bragging brutes. If you two come looking for trouble, don't blame me later for being ruthless!"

Having said that, Yan Buji turned and fled.

These two are far from ordinary; who knows if anyone will truly come after him later?

Better run away quickly.
