Primordial Era: Apprenticeship Under Laozi, I Forge Mythical Golden Pills

Primordial Era: Apprentice to Laozi, I Refine Mythical Golden Pills Author: Dao Dao Zhi Ming

Luo Xuan transmigrated one day and became an Innate Human Race member, yet he faced the Witch-Demon Calamity. Fortunately, he activated a system, apprenticed to Laozi, and became unrivaled in the Pill Dao from then on.

Laozi: "Disciple, why is the quality of your Nine Revolutions Golden Pill so high? Teach me!"

Yuanshi: "Nephew Luo Xuan, give Uncle some more Golden Pills, and Uncle will trade the Pangu Banner for them."

Tongtian: "A bunch of trash, when will you be half as excellent as Luo Xuan, and I will be content."

Two Sages of the West: "Luo Xuan, your pills... are poisonous!"

Nuwa: "Nephew's mastery of the Pill Dao is profound, why not come visit my Wa Imperial Palace?"

Chapter 1: Opening the Furnace to Refine Pills, Merit Descends from Heaven

Wisps of cooking smoke rose from houses built from wood and grass.

Occasionally, one or two children could be seen playing and roughhousing.

A youth dressed in animal hides walked slowly from a distance, his delicate face framed by eyes as bright as stars.

"Luo Xuan is back?"

Everyone who saw him offered a friendly smile.

Luo Xuan smiled and responded to each one.

He finally returned to his own house and sat down dejectedly.

"The Primordial Era is too terrifying, I want to go back to Earth!"

The youth's face crumpled, and his eyes showed a look of remembrance.

As a corporate slave, he had been quite excited when he first transmigrated.

But after he learned about this world, he suddenly felt that transmigration wasn't such a good thing.

Because he had transmigrated to the Primordial Era.

As someone who read many novels, he naturally knew how dangerous the Primordial Era was.

Although in the current Primordial Era, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West had not yet become Saints.

But now, he had unfortunately run into the Witch-Demon Calamity.

The Witch-Demon War, with flames of war raging everywhere.

In the beginning, Luo Xuan naturally tried every means possible, but he couldn't go back.

Don't let his young age fool you; he had actually been in the Primordial Era world for several years.

Because he was an Innate Human Race member, he hadn't changed much.

Of course, "Innate Human Race" sounded good, but it was merely early stage Heavenly Immortal. After several years, there was no sign of his cultivation progressing.

If he went out, he would be annihilated in minutes.

After several years, Luo Xuan had come to terms with it and decided to just go with the flow in the Primordial Era.

He thought that as a transmigrator, even without any golden fingers, he should at least have some fortuitous encounters.

Perhaps it was because he was unlucky, but he had gone out several times and hadn't seen a single hair.

Several times, he had almost lost his life.

"No, from now on, I'll just hang around near the tribe. I won't go out adventuring, no matter what."

Luo Xuan clenched his fists.

Just then, Luo Xuan suddenly heard a commotion outside.

He opened the door, feeling a bit confused, and saw many people running in one direction.

"What's happening?" Luo Xuan grabbed someone and asked.

The person replied in surprise, "You don't know? Someone who left the tribe just returned, saying they encountered a treasure."

His expression looked agitated, and he kept glancing towards the direction the crowd was running, as if afraid he would miss the treasure if he was any slower.

Luo Xuan's hands trembled.

Why don't I have such good luck?

Seeing the person's anxious look, Luo Xuan curiously asked, "Do you know what that thing is?"

"I heard it's an Alchemy Furnace."

Luo Xuan was stunned upon hearing this. While he was in a daze, the person broke free from Luo Xuan's arm and bolted out.

"An Alchemy Furnace."

Luo Xuan's eyes lit up, and he felt a pang of emotion. In his previous life, he had also studied the Pill Dao and knew alchemy methods.

He just didn't know if they would work in this Primordial Era.

Driven by curiosity, Luo Xuan soon saw the Alchemy Furnace.

The entire Alchemy Furnace stood on three legs, exuding an ancient aura.

Beside the alchemy furnace stood a burly man, proudly boasting about his experiences to everyone.

Clearly, he was the one who had discovered this alchemy furnace.

"I'm telling you all, when I saw that black tiger, I knew it wasn't ordinary. I followed it secretly, and then I found this alchemy furnace..."

The man spoke with great animation, but at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the alchemy furnace.

An older member of the human race looked at the furnace and exclaimed, "What a treasure, truly a great treasure!"

"How do you know it's a treasure? Can you even refine pills?"

"No..." The man suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

This drew a round of jeers from the crowd, and they began to whisper amongst themselves.

But the awkward part was, no one knew how to use the alchemy furnace.

Just then, an elder walked over. It was Suiren Shi.

Although Suiren Shi looked old, he walked with the powerful stride of a dragon.

Anyone who saw him would immediately make way.

Soon, Suiren Shi arrived in front of the alchemy furnace.

"This is a good item, at least a mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure."

Suiren Shi nodded as he looked at the furnace, and everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing his words. Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasures were not common in their tribe!

"Does anyone here know how to use an alchemy furnace? Feel free to take it," Suiren Shi scanned the crowd.

But no one stepped forward. Although they desired the furnace, they also knew their own limitations.

Suiren Shi looked helpless, contemplating what to do with the furnace when he suddenly heard a voice.

"I do."

Everyone was shocked and turned to look at the young man who had spoken.

"Luo Xuan? You really know how to refine pills?" Suiren Shi was also surprised.

When he asked that question, Suiren Shi held no real hope, as there were hardly any pill-refining methods passed down in their tribe.

Suiren Shi looked at the young man before him, somewhat disbelieving.

Luo Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I do."

Suiren Shi laughed heartily and said, "Good! Then I'll entrust this alchemy furnace to you. Relax, it's okay even if you don't refine any pills."

Luo Xuan hadn't been very confident initially, but after hearing Suiren Shi's words, he felt motivated to refine some pills to prove himself.

Looking at the hopeful eyes surrounding him, Luo Xuan became even more determined.

Soon, the alchemy furnace was moved to Luo Xuan's place, and the news that Luo Xuan could refine pills spread throughout the entire tribe.

All sorts of spiritual roots and immortal herbs were sent to Luo Xuan.

"This one looks a bit like ginseng? Let's add a little."

"This one smells good, could it be similar to honeysuckle? Let's add it too."

"This one... forget it, I don't care."

Having spent a few years in the Primordial Era, Luo Xuan had a decent understanding of some of its spiritual roots.

However, they were vastly different from his previous life.

It should be fine, right?

Under such day-to-day efforts, the alchemy furnace, constantly scorched day and night, finally reacted.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion echoed throughout the tribe.

"What happened? What happened?"

"Did the Witch and Demon tribes attack?"

Soon, people noticed the billowing black smoke above Luo Xuan's house.

Was this the kind of commotion that refining pills would cause?

Everyone looked at the black smoke strangely.

However, Suiren Shi was the first to arrive, staring intently at the black smoke with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Because within that black smoke, he saw a golden light.

And when the black smoke dissipated, golden clouds gathered in the sky.

Suiren Shi trembled all over, exclaiming with excitement, "Merit! That's Merit!"

This time, it wasn't just the entire tribe that erupted in excitement.
