Alchemy with Immortal-Grade Herbs, Jiang Taichu Makes Up His Mind

Three days later.

Jiang Taichu stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for three days. Only after receiving a token from Ning Fengzhi did he leave.

After this visit, Jiang Taichu was even more confident.

Only now did he truly have someone backing him.

When Ning Rongrong had suddenly gone to Heaven Dou City to find him, Jiang Taichu had guessed that it might have been part of Ning Fengzhi's plan.

Although Ning Fengzhi was Ning Rongrong's father, he was also a businessman who knew how to weigh gains and losses, and the leader of a major power.

After learning about Jiang Taichu's situation, Ning Fengzhi had not gone to Heaven Dou City to force him into joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He had chosen a more prudent approach.

That was to establish a bond between Jiang Taichu and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Now, after the matter of the Whale Rubber, Ning Fengzhi had fully committed to investing in him.

Jiang Taichu was happy with that too.

For now, with a power like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protecting him in Heaven Dou City, he could basically strut around as he pleased.

"Come on, Rongrong, let's go back to Sister Lingling's home."

"Mm, let's go find Sister Lingling."

After half a day in a carriage, the two finally returned to Heaven Dou City.

After another half hour or so, Jiang Taichu and Ye Lingling arrived at the residence of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Family.

"Please inform the Ye Family head I'm here."

The guards at the entrance all recognized Jiang Taichu.

Soon, one of the guards went to inform Ye Qingxian, while the other led Jiang Taichu to the Ye Family's main hall.

Before long, Ye Qingxian and Ye Lingling appeared in the hall.

"Little Taichu! It's only been a while, and you've grown so tall."

Ye Qingxian was quite astonished when she saw Jiang Taichu.

He had grown far too quickly, shooting up twenty or thirty centimeters in less than a year.

"Greetings, Aunt Ye."

Jiang Taichu greeted Ye Qingxian.

"Sister Lingling, Rongrong missed you."

When Ning Rongrong saw Ye Lingling, she trotted eagerly over to her.

"Rongrong, go play with Sister Lingling first. I have something to discuss with Aunt Ye."

Ning Rongrong nodded obediently.

Soon, only Ye Qingxian and Jiang Taichu remained in the Ye Family's main hall.

"Um, Aunt Ye, I came because there's something I need to ask of you. Sorry for the trouble."

"It's about alchemy, isn't it?"

Ye Qingxian smiled and looked at Jiang Taichu with interest.

Seeing that she had guessed his intentions, Jiang Taichu scratched his head.

"Aunt Ye, your foresight is almost divine."

"A few days ago, I visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and its sect master gave me a treasure called Heavenheart Cardamom."

"This treasure can strengthen spiritual power. After what happened last time, I was wondering whether it could be refined into a pill, so it would have a better effect on spiritual power when taken."

As he spoke, Jiang Taichu took out the snow-white Heavenheart Cardamom.

"Heavenheart Cardamom? You even managed to get your hands on something like this."

"I do have a pill formula that can turn this Heavenheart Cardamom into a pill."

"But it requires a medicinal ingredient: a branch and leaves that bore Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew."

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew is an immortal-grade treasure of this world. How could it be so easy to find? If you can't find Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, you can't find the branch and leaves that bore it."

"So, little Taichu, I'm afraid I can't help you. Besides, taking Heavenheart Cardamom as it is can greatly improve spiritual power too."

Ye Qingxian spoke regretfully.

Hearing "Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew," Jiang Taichu was startled.

He knew about Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

But getting it now would still be a little difficult.

Jiang Taichu considered whether he should go find Dugu Bo now, then use the Immortal Herb exchange code to exchange for the legendary Immortal-Grade Herbs.

After all, his relationship with Dugu Yan was no ordinary one now.

Most importantly, he also had a trump card to save his life.

That was Bloodline Nourishment.

As Jiang Taichu saw it, once he fused with another one or two bloodlines, he would be confident of causing Dugu Yan's Martial Soul to evolve.

Once Dugu Yan's Martial Soul evolved, the poison in her body would naturally be dispelled.

He had already begun entertaining the idea when he first learned what Bloodline Nourishment could do.

Now, a Heavenheart Cardamom and the branch and leaves of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew were needed to refine a pill that improved spiritual power.

That had already set Jiang Taichu itching to act.

"Little Taichu, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Jiang Taichu lost in thought, Ye Qingxian asked him gently.

Jiang Taichu came back to his senses and looked at Ye Qingxian.

"Aunt Ye, you just mentioned Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. Do you know about the legendary Immortal-Grade Herbs?"

Ye Qingxian raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

She looked at Jiang Taichu in astonishment.

"Little Taichu, you actually know about Immortal-Grade Herbs?"

She then answered Jiang Taichu's question.

"Immortal-Grade Herbs? Naturally, I know of them."

"As an alchemist, Immortal-Grade Herbs are the medicinal ingredients we dream of obtaining."

"But every Immortal-Grade Herb is hard to find in this world. Obtaining one depends entirely on fate."

"In all my years, I've never obtained a single Immortal-Grade Herb."

Jiang Taichu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Qingxian curiously.

"Then, Aunt Ye, if you were asked to refine an Immortal-Grade Herb into a pill, would you be confident of succeeding?"

That was what concerned Jiang Taichu.

Only during this time had he come to understand how formidable Ye Qingxian was at alchemy.

She was fully worthy of the title of Continent's Number One Alchemist.

It was just a pity.

Ye Qingxian's alchemy had run into a fool of a daughter in Ye Lingling, leaving her no chance to pass it down.

If Ye Qingxian was confident she could refine Immortal-Grade Herbs into pills,

then Jiang Taichu really had to take a chance.

Ye Qingxian pondered for a moment, considering her chances of successfully forming a pill.

"I'm not certain either."

"If I refined the pill normally using an Immortal-Grade Herb, the chances would be less than fifty percent."

Jiang Taichu interjected:

"What if you didn't do it normally?"

Ye Qingxian glanced at Jiang Taichu.

"If I didn't do it normally, and found a treasured place filled with the energy of heaven and earth to refine the pill, I'd have about a seventy percent chance of successfully forming a pill using an Immortal-Grade Herb."

"If my Soul Power Level also broke through to Soul Douluo, giving me greater control over my Soul Power, the chances could rise by another ten or twenty percent."

Ye Qingxian explained all the possible chances.

"I see."

After murmuring that, Jiang Taichu continued:

"Aunt Ye, what is your current Soul Power Level?"

Although Ye Qingxian didn't understand why he was asking, she answered honestly:

"My Soul Power Level is currently seventy-eight. I need two more levels to break through to Soul Douluo."

After hearing her answer, Jiang Taichu's eyes were more resolute than ever.

"I've decided. I'll take the chance."

He knew where to find Immortal-Grade Herbs, and there were a whole lot of them.

As for the treasured place Ye Qingxian needed to improve her success rate, wasn't the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the Immortal-Grade Herbs grew, just such a place?

As for helping Ye Qingxian break through to Soul Douluo, gaining two Soul Power Levels shouldn't be too difficult if she took an Immortal-Grade Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
