Three figures rose into the air above Kunlun Mountain.
At Mount Sumeru in the West, the eyes of two Daoists were filled with shock.
At Phoenix Perch Mountain, the brother and sister Fuxi and Nuwa also looked toward the human tribe.
"Little Sister, that seems to be the Innate Human Race you created, doesn't it?"
Fuxi turned his head and saw that Nuwa was also staring blankly in that direction.
Confusion filled her eyes. Clearly, she had no idea what had happened.
Luo Xuan raised his head, a trace of astonishment in his eyes as well.
"I just wanted to casually refine a few pills. How did this happen?"
It should... be fine, right?
Chapter 2: First-turn Elixir, System Reward
After his astonishment, Luo Xuan smelled a wave of pill fragrance.
"This can actually refine elixirs? It seems Pill Dao is useful in the Primordial World too."
Amid his delight, Luo Xuan reached toward the lid of the Alchemy Furnace.
The moment he opened it, the intoxicating pill fragrance grew even stronger.
Luo Xuan focused his eyes and saw nine round, plump elixirs lying quietly inside the Alchemy Furnace.
Each elixir also bore a cloud-shaped golden mark, as though it contained the power of the Great Dao.
"Are these the elixirs of the Primordial World?"
While Luo Xuan was examining them, heavenly merit descended from the sky.
Luo Xuan immediately felt as if a warm current were flowing through his body.
To his delight, he discovered that his cultivation was rapidly increasing under the power of merit.
From the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he directly broke through to the middle stage, then the late stage, and finally the perfected stage...
Even the bottleneck of the True Immortal Realm offered no resistance at all.
Only after reaching the late stage of the True Immortal Realm did Luo Xuan's cultivation finally come to a stop.
The sensation was so comfortable that Luo Xuan nearly groaned aloud.
The other portion of the merit sank into the nine elixirs.
At that moment, a voice appeared.
[Beep. The host has refined the Primordial World's first batch of First-turn Elixirs. Chaos Alchemy System activating.] [First batch of First-turn Elixirs?]
Luo Xuan was stunned.
In the Primordial World, elixirs were ranked from one revolution to nine revolutions, with one revolution being the lowest grade.
Even First-turn Elixirs had their own unique properties. The legendary Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could even bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bones.
But wasn't the Heavenly Dao being a little too generous? It had bestowed merit just for First-turn Elixirs?
When he noticed the three words "first batch," Luo Xuan gradually understood.
The Primordial World was now populated by countless races, and many living beings kept their treasures selfishly hidden. They wished they could even conceal their cultivation methods.
Pill Dao was even less developed.
As for Laozi, Zhen Yuanzi, and the other great powers, they knew Pill Dao.
However, the elixirs they refined were all seven or eight revolutions, or even Nine-Revolutions Elixirs. They simply would not refine low-grade elixirs.
In other words, they looked down on them.
Luo Xuan had never expected to benefit from this now.
Of course, what truly delighted Luo Xuan wasn't the merit, but the system.
As expected, the system was an essential feature for every transmigrator.
[Beep. Chaos Alchemy System activated successfully. Reward: one Novice Gift Pack. Please claim it, host.]
Without hesitation, Luo Xuan opened the Novice Gift Pack.
[Beep. Novice Gift Pack opened.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Primordial Pill Canon.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained one Houtian Supreme Treasure, the Five Directions Cauldron.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Innate Spiritual Fire, Skyfall True Flame.]
Luo Xuan felt as if he were about to soar with delight.
Every one of these three items sounded extraordinary.
He had yet to examine the Primordial Pill Canon, but just hearing its name was enough.
The words "Primordial" and "Hunyuan" were not used casually.
Above Grand Unity was Hunyuan.
A Hunyuan Golden Immortal was comparable to a Quasi-Saint. A Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal was comparable to a Saint!
There was also the Houtian Supreme Treasure, the Five Directions Cauldron.
In the Primordial World, even some great powers coveted Houtian Supreme Treasures.
As for Innate Spiritual Fire, there was even less need to explain it.
Just ask—who else could compare?
While Luo Xuan was inspecting the system's rewards, he had no idea that several great powers were also watching him.
On Kunlun Mountain, Laozi, whose beard and hair were completely white, nodded and said, "This child has excellent talent."
Laozi had always been obsessed with Pill Dao. When he saw someone refine elixirs without a teacher, he was intrigued.
Luo Xuan had even drawn down heavenly merit, and only then did Laozi develop an appreciation for his talent.
Yuanshi, who looked middle-aged, neither agreed nor disagreed. "His pill techniques are indeed quite good. Unfortunately, he is an Innate Human. If his origins were better, he would not have reached only the True Immortal Realm after the merit descended."
"If we're talking about talent, who could compare to us Innate Beings?" Laozi shook his head and expressed a different opinion.
Yuanshi was surprised. "Eldest Brother, you keep praising that human. Could it be that you want to accept him as a disciple?"
He turned his head and saw that Laozi neither nodded nor shook his head. "It wouldn't be impossible to take him into our sect. However, before that, we still need to test this child's character."
Tongtian nodded. He had originally developed some thoughts of his own, but seeing his Eldest Brother's attitude, he decided not to bring it up.
Yuanshi turned away indifferently and said no more.
However, he still looked down on the Innate Human Race somewhat.
"This child is fated to be connected with our West!"
Jieyin and Zhunti wore excited expressions.
Zhunti called out, "Senior Brother, I'll bring him to the West right now!"
The two brothers had always regarded the prosperity of the West as their duty. Now that they had seen such a talent, they naturally did not want to let him go.
One had to know that in the Primordial World, only a handful of people could refine elixirs, and they might not be willing to give them to the West.
Even if they did, they would only give them high-grade elixirs.
Those elixirs consumed time, effort, and materials. Their medicinal power was also vast, and the slightest carelessness could cause one's body to explode.
Luo Xuan's elixirs were different. Low-grade elixirs were perfect for living beings with weak cultivation, and there was no need to worry about the risk of being overwhelmed by their medicinal power.
If the West had Luo Xuan, its overall strength would improve at lightning speed!
Jieyin wore a sorrowful expression. "Junior Brother, don't be anxious. Our foundation lies in the West. We still don't know what attitude the Three Pure Ones will take."
Thinking of Laozi's obsession with alchemy, Zhunti also calmed down and let out a sigh.
On Phoenix Perch Mountain, Nuwa turned around without looking back. "Eldest Brother, let's go."
It was indeed beyond expectation that the human race could create elixirs and draw down heavenly merit, but Nuwa wasn't particularly interested.
In the tribe, Luo Xuan quickly glanced over the system's rewards before opening his eyes.
By then, he was already surrounded by people, who paid no attention to the wreckage covering the ground.
Suiren Shi was especially excited. "Luo Xuan, you really refined elixirs?"
Luo Xuan smiled. "I have fulfilled my duty."
At Luo Xuan's gesture, Suiren Shi cautiously approached the Alchemy Furnace.
When he saw the nine elixirs, tears of excitement filled Suiren Shi's eyes.
"Good, good! Our human race can refine elixirs too!"
Hearing Suiren Shi's words, the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers.
They looked at Luo Xuan with reverence.
Suiren Shi also gazed at him with relief.
The human race had drawn down merit only a handful of times.
Back then, he had invented fire, which was what allowed him to draw 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 human ancestor had been born!
However, under Suiren Shi's fixed stare, Luo Xuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Ancestor, you flatter me."
