Tianxue Changming uttered a harsh threat before leaving the place with his grandson.
Ultimately, he did not choose to kill Ling Xiao, because he was afraid of ruining his plan.
Ling Xiao watched him leave, secretly noting that this man not only took the Chaos-Disrupting Ancient Halberd but also harbored murderous intent towards him. Once he recovered from his injuries, he would definitely settle accounts with him.
"Let's go, Elder Yao Chen!"
He gave a shout, and the group headed towards the alchemy area. Tianxue Yaoyue, mindful of her status, wanted to go back, but she was Ling Xiao wanted to refine, so she followed silently.
On the summit of Snow God Mountain, a peerless figure watched everything unfold from beginning to end, a strange light gleaming in his eyes.
"Ling Xiao, once you've recovered from your injuries, sneak away, or the head steward won't let you off easily."
As they walked, Tianxue Ji whispered a reminder.
That's all she can do; she can only offer verbal reminders and can't exert any more influence.
Ling Xiao was, after all, an outsider. Even the clan leader's mother wouldn't turn against the head steward for the sake of an outsider.
"We'll see when the time comes," Ling Xiao replied casually, his mind preoccupied with matters of alchemy.
The Primordial Divine Cauldron Grand Alchemy Dao records a wide variety of elixirs, from the most basic mortal elixirs to the Primordial Sacred Elixir, encompassing all types of elixirs.
There are many kinds of pills, including those that enhance cultivation, improve physical fitness, provide a temporary burst of power, and heal injuries.
Based on his injuries, Ling Xiao summarized several kinds of pills that were particularly useful to him.
The most powerful of them is called the Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill, a supreme primordial elixir that can replenish one's foundation and physical body, bringing everything to a state of perfection.
After consuming it, one can achieve the "Primordial Sacred Body," where everything in the body reaches its peak state, giving one the potential to ascend to the Great Dao.
Therefore, this elixir can not only repair all wounds and defects in the body, but also enhance physical constitution.
This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
However, this pill belongs to the level of the Primordial Saint Pill, which is the supreme realm among pills, and its difficulty is naturally imaginable.
While Ling Xiao was pondering, the group arrived at the alchemy holy land of the Snow Heaven Clan.
Everything you need for alchemy is here.
For many years, this place has belonged only to Tianxue Yaochen, who has devoted himself to the study of alchemy here.
"How about it? This is something I've meticulously arranged. All the ingredients for alchemy are here. If you don't know it, you can find it here!"
Tianxue Yaochen smiled and introduced his territory to Ling Xiao in the manner of a host.
Ling Xiao looked around and found that the place was surrounded by mountains, with lush green willows and vibrant flowers, and countless kinds of spiritual roots and immortal herbs.
Many spiritual roots are even more precious and powerful than the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots Primordial World.
Besides top-grade spiritual roots, there were also hidden Chaos- level divine artifacts among them.
This demonstrates the terrifying depth of the Origin True Realm; such a seemingly insignificant place actually hides so many treasures.
Looking at the boundless garden of divine herbs, Ling Xiao was filled with awe.
They were on a high platform, with the Great Dao patterns carved on the ground. In the center was a pill furnace, nine zhang tall, with green smoke billowing from its spout and emitting an intoxicating fragrance.
If a mortal smells this fragrance, he can immediately become Golden Immortal.
A single whiff of the elixir could increase a person's cultivation by millions of years, indicating that an elixir was being refined in the furnace and was almost ready to be produced.
"Excellent, what a sacred place for alchemy!"
Ling Xiao was generous with his praise, and this compliment made Yao Chen feel as if he had drunk sweet dew. He was secretly delighted and couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh heartily.
"So-so, barely ranking third in the Mysterious Heaven Realm."
He made things up without any verification, spouting fabricated data.
"You've come at the perfect time. My newly researched elixir is about to be completed, and I would like to ask you all to help me evaluate it."
Elder Yao Chen seized the opportunity to steer the conversation toward elixirs, which was one of his specialties.
As he spoke, he walked to the alchemy furnace, then made a hand seal. With just that one gesture, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind and clouds changed dramatically.
A sudden, crackling thunderclap appeared, and strange phenomena materialized, enveloping the alchemy furnace.
At this moment, the fragrance of medicine became even stronger, and the white mist spewing from the furnace mouth filled the surrounding space, creating a peaceful and ethereal atmosphere, accompanied by endless celestial music.
With a thud, Yao Chen opened the furnace, raised his hand and grabbed a few pills, which he skillfully sealed with his magic power.
Firstly, to prevent the medicinal properties from leaking out; secondly, to prevent the elixir from being contaminated with spiritual energy, developing sentience, and escaping.
High-level elixirs are like this; ordinary people can achieve immortality by consuming them, not to mention the elixirs themselves.
"Please, everyone, one piece each. Don't eat more than that."
After doing all this, Elder Yao Chen raised his hand and flipped it over, presenting the pills to the group, and didn't forget to give them a reminder.
"This is the Yin-Yang Five Elements Origin-Breaking Pill. After consuming it, one can condense the power of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. If a cultivator at the Hunyuan Great Luo Primordial Origin consumes it, they have a chance to advance one level; conversely, they may even descend one level."
"It's useless to you, you're just trying it out for the first time."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately lost their composure.
"Elder, I can understand having the opportunity to advance one level, but what's with this 'demotion'?" Tianxue Ji exclaimed. Wasn't this just messing with people's mentality?
Imagine if, after consuming it, your painstakingly cultivated level suddenly dropped by a whole level—how could you possibly bear that? Wouldn't your mental state shatter?
"Then keep eating until your cultivation is perfected," Tianxue Yaochen said with a smile, though there was a hint of embarrassment in it. After all, this pill was his own creation, and it had its flaws.
Tianxue Ji and Tianxue Yaoyue fell silent, feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of Ling Xiao, an outsider.
Ling Xiao picked up a pill with a curious expression and examined it closely. "This is a Saint Pill, almost reaching the level of Chaos Saint Pill."
He saw through the essence of the pill at a glance. The reason it wasn't considered Chaos Saint Pill was because it might lower one's cultivation level.
If it were changed to a stable increase of one level, then it could be considered Chaos Saint Pill.
"This is called a half-step Chaos Saint Pill, or a Chaos Saint Pill," Tianxue Yaochen corrected.
"Young friend Ling Xiao, it seems you do have some common sense when it comes to alchemy."
He said with some admiration, "It's not something an ordinary person can do, that Ling Xiao can tell the grade of a pill at a glance."
You should know that there are countless elixirs in the world, and without a certain level of skill, one really wouldn't know them.
Most importantly, this elixir was created by him.
"Unfortunately, it has significant flaws; otherwise, it would be a true Chaos Saint Pill."
Ling Xiao opened his mouth and threw the pill into his mouth. He was at the Primordial Taiji level, so he was naturally not afraid of his cultivation level declining.
"Hey! You're wrong about that. There's no such thing as perfection in this world. It's normal to have some flaws," Tianxue Yaochen retorted, dissatisfied.
Without saying a word, Ling Xiao walked up to the alchemy furnace, then pointed at it, and the furnace lid flew up, hovering and spinning in the air.
Then, he raised his hand and waved it, sending out medicinal herbs that flew into the alchemy furnace.
