Chapter 295

There are many strange-looking buildings in the Imperial City. Some are done by powerhouses on a whim, some are because powerhouses lack artistry, and others exist as symbols.

A bronze tripod stands in a corner of the Imperial City, as tall as a small mountain, its surface as smooth as a mirror, filled with various details. Looking at it from afar, one can feel its simple and ancient beauty.

This is the most prosperous area of the Imperial City, where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold. To stand such a bronze tripod here, the spirit stones required are an astronomical price.

Except for a few major forces like the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce, no one can afford this money.

Many white-haired, white-robed old men exuding the fragrance of pills walked into the bronze tripod with their hands behind their backs, looking at no one.

Pedestrians passing by the bronze tripod saw these old men walking into the bronze tripod and showed expressions of worship and envy.

These are all famous masters in the alchemy world, and many of them are the pioneers of a certain alchemy method.

This is the Alchemy Alliance, representing the authority and peak of the alchemy world. Every year, countless pill formulas are announced to the outside world, declaring their significant achievements. It is the holy land in the hearts of all alchemists, except for the Alchemy Peak of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Inside the bronze tripod, silent alchemists sat around an exquisite stone table, their faces without the slightest expression.

A figure arrived late, announcing the start of this meeting.

He is Qing Yunzi, the chief alchemist of the Alchemy Alliance, whose skill is so superb that he is the undisputed strongest alchemist.

Those sitting here are all veterans of the alchemy world, possessing unique skills, but they all acknowledge Qing Yunzi's status.

Even the Seventh Elder, who has always been arrogant, acknowledges that Qing Yunzi is the alchemy master second only to him.

Qing Yunzi smiled faintly, looking unhurried: "This regular meeting is the same as usual, aiming to exchange alchemy insights. Everyone can speak freely."

"Can we really say whatever we want?" an alchemy master raised his hand and asked.

"Yes."

This alchemy master's face changed, and he slapped the table angrily: "Qing Yunzi, you're late, what are you pretending for? Everyone has been sitting here for a long time, just waiting for you!"

Obviously, acknowledging Qing Yunzi's alchemy status doesn't mean they can tolerate him being late.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just researching a pill formula, had a major breakthrough, and was so happy that I forgot the time."

"What pill are you researching, so fascinated?"

Qing Yunzi smiled mysteriously: "Ancient pill formula, Child-Sending Pill."

"You succeeded?!" Everyone was surprised. They all had the Child-Sending Pill formula in their hands, but no matter how they refined it, it could only make their Taoist companions look beautiful.

Recently, many beauty-enhancing pills have been circulating in the black market, all of which are waste pills they refined. Apart from making the pill takers look good, they are useless.

"That's not yet, but I already have a clue. According to my research, the owner of the Child-Sending Pill formula is called Qing He, and she is suspected to have a close connection with a certain immortal. Perhaps the Child-Sending Pill is also related to this immortal!"

"It's actually related to an immortal. Now that you say it, it makes sense." Everyone was surprised at first, then realized. They thought it must be that one of the medicinal ingredients in the pill was an immortal fruit, which is why they found it difficult to restore.

"Heh, I thought there was some major breakthrough, so it's just this?" After hearing this, the Seventh Elder sneered at Qing Yunzi's so-called research.

"I wonder who it is, so it's Wujizi from the Alchemy Peak. What high opinion do you have?" Seeing that it was the Seventh Elder, Qing Yunzi changed his calm expression, and his words were filled with gunpowder.

Qing Yunzi and the Seventh Elder looked at each other, tit for tat.

Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to say. Everyone knew about the two of them.

When these two were young, they fell in love with the same girl. After a fight, mainly the Seventh Elder pinning Qing Yunzi to the ground and beating him, the girl finally chose the talented Seventh Elder.

The grudge between the two was thus formed.

Because the Seventh Elder often refined strange pills, it was difficult for everyone to judge how good his alchemy technique really was.

But what is certain is that in terms of fighting, among the people present, counting one by one, none of them are the Seventh Elder's opponent.

The Seventh Elder said slowly: "According to my research, the point of the pill formula is not how the pill is, but the method of taking it."

"Have you noticed that the beginning of the pill formula writes the method of taking it: 'Take it with river water, and you can get pregnant'."

"Why specifically mention 'river water'? Isn't it better to just use 'water'?"

"With this question, I searched through ancient books and asked young scholars who have an understanding of the ancient era, and finally found the answer."

"The river water mentioned in the pill formula is not ordinary river water, but the river water of the Child-Mother River refined by an immortal in the ancient era!"

"Taking the river water of the Child-Mother River can make you pregnant!"

As soon as this was said, the four seats were shocked: "What?!"

"Child-Mother River?"

"There is such a magical river water?!"

Although the pills refined by the Seventh Elder are all strange, he has never joked about such things!

"Which immortal is it?" Qing Yunzi also couldn't care about his entanglement with the Seventh Elder and asked eagerly.

He searched through ancient books and even went to the Imperial Palace to borrow the treasured copies, but he couldn't find the name of that immortal, as if it had been intentionally hidden!

The Seventh Elder nodded steadily and told a secret: "It is the Ying Tian Immortal."

Qing Yunzi suddenly realized: "So it was him? Then everything makes sense."

"What do you mean?" Everyone didn't understand why Qing Yunzi said this. They hadn't heard that the Ying Tian Immortal had refined the Child-Mother River?

Qing Yunzi said mysteriously: "I found an ancient book from a ruin, called 'Cooking Encyclopedia.' Although it hasn't been fully deciphered, I can be sure of one thing: this book looks like it is teaching people how to cook, but it actually hides mysteries."

Everyone was puzzled. The book sounds like an ancient cookbook by its name, isn't it?

"At first, I was like everyone else, thinking it was an ancient cookbook, but I made a few dishes at random and found that anyone who ate these dishes would at least end up unconscious!"

"This is not a cookbook, but a poison classic!"

Everyone gasped. An ancient poison classic, this sounds very terrifying.

"And the author of this poison classic is exactly the Ying Tian Immortal!"

"Pills and poisons are not separate. Since the Ying Tian Immortal could write this poison classic, he must also be very proficient in the theory of pills!"

"I have heard a saying passed down from the ancient era: the strongest alchemist is not one who goes to find medicinal ingredients, but one who invents medicinal ingredients!"

"The Child-Mother River should be a medicinal ingredient refined by the Ying Tian Immortal!"

"No, perhaps the river water of the Child-Mother River is not a medicinal ingredient, but a poison!"

"Use the river water of the Child-Mother River to poison during battle, and the opponent gets pregnant, so they can't fight, right?" Qing Yunzi's eyes became brighter as he spoke, feeling that his analysis was interlocking, as if he had unraveled a layer of the mysterious veil of the ancient era!

"How many women have become pregnant because of the river water of the Child-Mother River refined by the Ying Tian Immortal?" Everyone marveled at the power of the Ying Tian Immortal.

As expected of an immortal, he could refine such a strange object.

After the servant finished pouring water for everyone, he left quietly. These are all alchemy masters, and they were talking about immortals, which made him terrified, so he didn't dare to stay.

As soon as he came outside, he was surrounded by his companions.

"How is it, how is it? What did they say inside?"

This is the top alchemy master meeting, representing the most cutting-edge knowledge in the alchemy world. Hearing a little bit is enough for them to go out and show off.

The servant was a bit embarrassed. He was too scared just now and didn't listen very carefully.

He tried hard to recall the conversation of the alchemy masters, a bit uncertain:

"It seems to be saying that the ancient immortal Ying Tian Immortal made countless women pregnant?"

The companions gasped.

This is an ancient secret.
