Primordial Era: Becoming Laozi's Disciple, I Forge Mythical Golden Elixirs

Kunlun Mountain, three figures ascended into the sky.

On Mount Sumeru in the West, two Daoists' eyes were filled with shock.

Phoenix Perch Mountain, the siblings Fuxi and Nuwa also looked towards the direction of the human tribe.

"Sister, isn't that the Innate Human Race you created?"

Fuxi turned his head and saw Nuwa staring blankly in that direction as well.

Her eyes were filled with confusion; she clearly didn't know what had happened.

Luo Xuan looked up, his eyes also showing some astonishment.

"I just wanted to casually make a few pills, how could this happen?"

It should... be fine, right?

Chapter 2: First-turn Elixir, System Rewards

After his surprise, Luo Xuan smelled a pill fragrance.

"You can even refine pills here? It seems the Pill Dao is useful in the Primordial Era too."

Filled with joy, Luo Xuan reached for the lid of the alchemy furnace.

As soon as he opened it, the refreshing pill fragrance intensified.

Luo Xuan gazed intently and saw nine perfectly round pills lying quietly in the furnace.

On each pill, there was a cloud-shaped golden pattern, as if containing the power of the Great Dao.

"Is this what pills in the Primordial Era are like?"

As Luo Xuan was examining them, Merit descended from the sky.

Luo Xuan immediately felt a warm current flow through his body.

To his delight, he discovered that his cultivation was rapidly increasing under the influence of the Merit.

From early Heavenly Immortal, he directly broke through to mid Heavenly Immortal, late Heavenly Immortal, Heavenly Immortal completion...

Even the bottleneck of the True Immortal Realm did not hinder him at all.

It wasn't until late True Immortal that Luo Xuan's cultivation finally stopped.

The comfortable feeling almost made Luo Xuan groan aloud.

Another portion of the Merit flowed into the nine pills.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

[Beep, detected host refining the first batch of First-turn Elixirs in the Primordial Era, Chaos Alchemy System activated.]

The first batch of First-turn Elixirs?

Luo Xuan was stunned.

In the Primordial Era, pills were graded from one to nine turns, with one turn being the lowest.

However, even a First-turn Elixir had its unique qualities. The legendary Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could even bring the dead back to life and mend bones.

Wasn't the Heavenly Dao a bit too generous? To bestow Merit for just a First-turn Elixir?

When he noticed the words "first batch" earlier, Luo Xuan vaguely understood.

The current Primordial Era was teeming with myriad races, and many beings were overly possessive, even hiding their cultivation techniques.

The Pill Dao was even more underdeveloped.

While powerful figures like Laozi and Zhen Yuanzi knew the Pill Dao, their pills were all seventh or eighth turn, or even Ninth Revolutions Golden Pills. They simply didn't refine low-grade pills.

Simply put, they looked down on them.

He just didn't expect Luo Xuan to reap the benefits now.

Of course, what truly made Luo Xuan happy wasn't the Merit, but the system.

As expected, a system was essential for every transmigrator.

[Beep, Chaos Alchemy System activated successfully, rewarding one Novice Gift Pack. Please check, host.]

Luo Xuan unhesitatingly clicked open the Novice Gift Pack.

[Beep, Novice Gift Pack opened.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Primordial Pill Canon.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Post-celestial Supreme Treasure Five Directions Cauldron.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Innate Spiritual Fire Skyfall True Flame.]

Luo Xuan felt like he was about to fly from sheer exhilaration.

Each of these three items sounded extraordinary.

Primordial Pill Canon, Luo Xuan hadn't read it yet, but the name alone...

The term "Primordial" isn't used lightly.

Above Grand Unity, one is Primordial.

A Primordial Grand Unity Immortal is comparable to a Quasi-Saint. A Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal is comparable to a Saint!

There's also a Post-celestial Supreme Treasure, the Five Directions Cauldron.

Post-celestial Supreme Treasures are things that even some great powers in the Primordial Era would covet.

Let alone Innate Spiritual Fire.

Just ask, who else!

While Luo Xuan was checking his system rewards, he didn't realize he had already caught the attention of several great powers.

On Kunlun Mountain, Laozi, with white hair and beard, nodded and said, "This child's talent is quite good."

Laozi had always been obsessed with the Pill Dao. Seeing someone instinctively refine elixirs, Luo Xuan even drew down Merit. It was then that Laozi felt a sense of cherishing talent.

Beside him, Yuanshi, who looked middle-aged, said noncommittally, "His pill refining skills are indeed good. It's a pity he's just an Innate Human. If his origins were better, he wouldn't have only reached the True Immortal realm after drawing down Merit just now."

"When it comes to talent, who can compare to us Innate beings?" Laozi shook his head, expressing a different opinion.

Yuanshi was surprised and asked, "Eldest Brother, you've praised that human repeatedly. Do you intend to take him as a disciple?"

He turned to look and saw Laozi neither nod nor shake his head. "It's not impossible to take him in. However, before that, we need to test this child's character."

Tongtian nodded. He had also had some thoughts, but seeing his eldest brother's demeanor, he didn't bring it up.

Yuanshi turned his head indifferently and said nothing more.

However, in his heart, he still looked down on the Innate Human Race.

"This child has a destined connection with my West!"

Jieyin and Zhunti looked excited.

Zhunti exclaimed, "Senior Brother, I'll go and bring him to the West right now!"

The brothers had always made the prosperity of the West their mission. Now, seeing such talent, they were even more unwilling to let him go.

After all, in the Primordial Era, there were only a handful of people who could refine elixirs, and they might not necessarily give them to the West.

Even if they did, they were usually high-level elixirs.

Not only did those elixirs take time, effort, and materials, but their potent medicinal power could cause one to explode if not careful.

However, Luo Xuan's elixirs were different. Low-level elixirs were perfect for beings with weak cultivation, and there was no risk of exploding from the medicinal power.

If the West had Luo Xuan, their overall strength would improve by leaps and bounds!

Jieyin looked distressed and said, "Junior Brother, don't be hasty. Our foundation is in the West, and we still don't know the attitude of the Three Pure Ones."

Upon thinking of Laozi, who was obsessed with alchemy, Zhunti also calmed down and sighed.

On Phoenix Perch Mountain, Nuwa turned around without looking back. "Eldest Brother, let's go."

It was indeed unexpected that the Human Race could create elixirs and draw down Heavenly Dao Merit, but Nuwa wasn't very interested.

In the tribe, Luo Xuan quickly glanced at the system rewards before opening his eyes.

By then, he was already surrounded by people, completely unfazed by the mess around him.

Suiren Shi was even more excited, "Luo Xuan, you really refined elixirs?"

Luo Xuan smiled and said, "I did not fail in my mission."

At Luo Xuan's signal, Suiren Shi cautiously approached the alchemy furnace.

When he saw the nine elixirs, Suiren Shi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Good, good! Our Human Race can also refine elixirs!"

The surrounding crowd cheered upon hearing Suiren Shi's words.

They looked at Luo Xuan with eyes full of reverence.

Suiren Shi also looked at him with relief.

After all, the Human Race had only drawn down Merit a few times.

He himself had invented fire, which had drawn down Merit.

Now, he was one of the Three Ancestors of the Human Race.

And this time, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

In his eyes, it was as if another ancestor of the Human Race had been born!

However, seeing Suiren Shi's fixed gaze, Luo Xuan felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Ancestor, you flatter me."
