Chapter 712: Chapter 667: Perfect Transcendent God (End of Month, Asking for Monthly Tickets)_4
"Taiyin Jade Crystal... Is this the third piece?"
Fang Xi directly took out a jade box and carefully stored the Taiyin Jade Crystal. Stroking his chin, he mused, "By the time Moon Invitation Immortal City opens the Taiyin Secret Realm again, they’ll probably be sorely disappointed... But never mind that, it’s becoming dangerous for you. You should return to the Lower Realm and then prepare for your formal ascension!"
Each time the Moon Invitation Immortal City manages to obtain a few pieces of Taiyin Jade Crystal, but they also need to be exchanged for Sun Gold Spirit and combined with auxiliary medicinal ingredients, with an Alchemy Master requested to start the pill concoction process.
In reality, it might take a century to produce even one ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’!
Even with the consumption of this pill, a cultivator’s breakthrough is not a hundred percent assured—in fact, it’s about fifty-fifty.
Therefore, according to Fang Xi’s estimate, the number of Returning to Emptiness cultivators within the Moon Invitation Immortal City should be between ten and several dozen.
After all, there are those cultivators who wander, and even fall...
Generally speaking, even if there’s the addition of one Returning to Emptiness every five hundred years, and the lifespan of such cultivators is around ten thousand years... then the number of Returning to Emptiness cultivators in the Moon Invitation Immortal City would be around twenty at best, and that’s in the most optimistic scenario.
’And Moon Invitation Immortal City is already renowned throughout the Star Domain as a city of cultivators...’
’In other words, as soon as one ascends to Returning to Emptiness, one immediately becomes part of the upper echelons of Moon Invitation Immortal City. No matter where in the human race’s territory one goes, one would receive respectful treatment...’
’I possess the ’Eternal Green Body’, which naturally increases my chances of a successful breakthrough when returning to emptiness. Coupled with the ’Merging of Three Energies’ technique for the breakthrough, and the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ as an extra precaution, the odds are overwhelmingly in my favor, and the probability of success should exceed ninety percent!’
A glint of bright promise sparkled in Fang Xi’s eyes.
Through the heterodox incarnation, three pieces of Taiyin Jade Crystal had been mined; he also just managed to scrape together three pieces of Sun Gold Spirit on hand, enough to attempt the concoction of the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ three times!
This pill possessed a high grade of six!
More critically, the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ is an ancient Metal and Stone Pill. The difficulty of concocting it wasn’t too great. Although Fang Xi’s own Alchemy Skill was around the fifth tier, if he went to The Nine States and commanded many Alchemy Masters to cooperate, he could still reluctantly attempt it.
After all, minerals were somewhat less demanding on flames than pills made from plants, meaning a slight miscalculation in the fire control wouldn’t ruin a whole furnace of pills.
Therefore, the standards of ancient Alchemy Skill were somewhat lower than they are now.
Fang Xi wondered if his own Alchemy Skill grade might improve if he were to take an examination in the Metal and Stone Pill Path?
"Alchemy Skill is still continuously advancing... Using plants to create pills demands precision in every operation and maximizes the medicinal effects... The ancient Metal and Stone Pill Path seems somewhat crude in comparison..."
"Coincidentally, The Nine States also has extensive research on particle collisions and material transformations..."
...
Mortal Realm.
Evergreen Hall.
Demon Lord Chi Lian looked at Fang Xi’s heterodox incarnation with a grievously pitiful expression, "Master... Are you truly so ruthless, to have cast your concubine into the laboratory to endure unspeakably cruel torture...?"
"Cough cough..."
The heterodox incarnation coughed.
Although it was the original body’s fault, he had to take the blame.
For now, he just kept his face cool and waited silently.
Moments later, accompanied by a clear ringing sound, a massive Green Fire Luan flew in, transforming into a young girl in a green jacket-skirt in midair.
Liu Xu arrived shortly thereafter, her dignified expression tinged with a hint of allure—quite different from before.
Finally, Fairy Yunxi, with the melody of the Yao Qin, descended gracefully.
"Ladies... I have decided to ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm. Have you all made your decisions?" asked the heterodox incarnation gravely.
"To pursue the Immortal Path, I would not regret even a hundred deaths." Fairy Yunxi answered with solemnity.
"Wherever Master goes, Xiao Qing will follow," Xiao Qing replied with equal conviction.
Once everyone had responded, Fang Xi’s lips curved slightly, "Well then, we will ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm together, but there’s a major issue—the Ancestor of Green Emperor Mountain! This matter is of great importance. As we crack the Spirit Realm and share the spoils together... It’s time we signed another Immortal Spirit Contract, to ensure we advance or retreat as one."
This was also one of his goals. The earlier division of spoils was to pull all the Transcendent Gods into the fray—otherwise, why let them scour the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm for resources in the first place?
Now, like grasshoppers tied to a string, and once bound by the ’Immortal Spiritual Document’ oath, they could be somewhat trusted.
’In reality, the most secretive way would be to annihilate all the Mortal Realm’s Transcendent Gods, but I’m not that kind of person...’
’Besides, it’s just this heterodox incarnation ascending. If it dies, it doesn’t matter... Consider it a trial run...’
