A Great Undertaking That Will Be Remembered for Eternity

And so, the Golden Light Earth Dragon officially became Wu Chu's experimental subject.

Centuries later, when Wu Chu finally refined the first batch of pills that could increase cultivation, which he named the Origin Spirit Pill, Heavenly Dao finally bestowed a Merit upon him.

This Merit was divided into three parts: one fell to Qingqiu, one fell to the Houtu Tribe, and one fell to the top of the Purple Jade Mountain Divine Tree.

It is estimated that only 15% of the Merit Golden Light that fell towards Qingqiu and Houtu Tribe reached the Summit of the Sacred Tree.

At this moment, the alchemy room Summit of the Sacred Tree was completely enveloped in Merit Golden Light.

This Merit Golden Light was divided into four parts. The largest part was taken by Yibao; the second largest part went to Wu Chu; the third largest part was absorbed by the alchemy furnace in front of them; and the last part went to the Golden Light Earth Dragon.

Yibao received 40%, Wu Chu, the Alchemy Furnace 20%, and the Golden Light Earth Dragon 10%.

The Golden Light Earth Dragon never expected that he, who was 'forced' to become a 'test dragon,' would actually receive a share of Merit, as if it were free.

After receiving this reward of Merit, the Golden Light Earth Dragon, who originally felt that he was "forced" to become a "testing dragon," finally began to take this "testing dragon" profession seriously.

Seeing Wu Chu's calm yet confident expression, the Golden Light Earth Dragon couldn't help but ask, "Master, did you already know there would be a reward for Merit?"

Wu Chu smiled and said, "This is nothing. You should know that what we are doing now is opening up an unprecedented Dao of Alchemy. This is a matter of perfecting the rules of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth will bestow Merit as a reward for all matters that perfect the rules of heaven and earth."

The Golden Light Earth Dragon nodded, its expression unchanged.

Wu Chu shook his head and said, "It seems you haven't realized just how great what we're doing is. You also don't understand the immense significance of Dao of Alchemy to this world. Do you think you're just an Earth Dragon used for testing medicines and pills? No, this is a great undertaking that can be written into the history of cultivation in the Primordial World, a cause that will make you famous for eternity!"

For some reason, the Golden Light Earth Dragon's expression became somewhat solemn.

Wu Chu continued, "Ten thousand generations later, if the people you once loved or hated were to die by accident, few would remember them. But you are different. Even if you die one day, your name and your achievements will still be passed down through generations..."

The Golden Light Earth Dragon's eyes, which were so small they were almost invisible, gradually widened. An indescribable emotion welled up in its heart, giving it a sudden urge to dedicate everything to this cause.

Wu Chu then changed the subject, saying, "However, on the other hand, testing medicines and elixirs is indeed a dangerous matter. If you are unwilling, I..."

"I'm willing! I'm willing!" the Golden Light Earth Dragon cried out. "I... I never imagined that what we did before would be so meaningful. Master, I'm so sorry! At first, I even thought that you were lying to me because of my special physical condition... I deserve to die! I actually made such malicious assumptions about your intentions."

"..."

This time, Wu Chu was a bit bewildered. Was the power of the Merit Golden Light really that great? It had completely intoxicated this originally somewhat shrewd guy! He had even started to repent!

"It is my honor that my master is willing to create such a great path with me. Master, please allow me to continue testing medicines and elixirs for you! Even if I die by accident, I want to die for this momentous event that is of extraordinary significance to the Primordial Land."

The Golden Light Earth Dragon suddenly became somewhat sentimental. "From birth until now, my dragon life has been a muddle, without any pursuit, until I met that white wolf... until my master woke me up and made me realize that it was wrong. But my dragon life still can't find any purpose. I can only sleep every day, waiting to be summoned by my master and then go to fight."

They've even started self-analysis! Good heavens! Wu Chu discovered for the first time that this Earth Dragon's inner world was actually so rich.

No wonder it crossed species and fell in love with a white wolf.

The Golden Light Earth Dragon finally raised its head, its entire body radiating vitality, and said, "But now, I feel that my life is not entirely meaningless. So, master, please don't replace me; let me continue to contribute my meager strength to the Dao of Alchemy!"

Wu Chu clicked his tongue silently, wondering to himself: Was it fooled by me? Or was it corrupted by that Merit Golden Light? The contrast is too great!

Regardless, this guy's enthusiasm during the subsequent drug and elixir trials was incomparable to what it had been before.

And so it went, Wu Chu refined elixirs, it tested the elixirs, and Yibao kept records.

Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, one Epoch, two Epoch, three Epoch...

Wu Chu was completely immersed in the joy of alchemy.

To better preserve the medicinal power of the pills, he also comprehended some array restrictions on the pills from the array restrictions of the Spirit Treasure, which he called -- Pill Restriction.

As he continued to refine the Pill Restriction, he was even able to use Pill Restriction to rationally allocate the medicinal power of various spiritual herbs, allowing them to fuse more precisely.

Of course, he did go out to relax, have some fun, or enjoy the Little Fox's singing and dancing, or the delicious food from Little Moon Spirit.

When Qingqiu Li or Houtu come over, he will go out and practice his body with them.

However, he focused his main energy on Dao of Alchemy.

Occasionally, some poison pills would be accidentally refined, which would cause the Golden Light Earth Dragon quite a bit of trouble, but because of the Golden Light Earth Dragon's special ability to transform its body into Spirit Treasure, its life was not in danger.

Even so, the Golden Light Earth Dragon never complained, and would even show a gratified smile afterward, as if it had done something incredibly glorious and great.

During this process of testing the pills and medicines, the Golden Light Earth Dragon's cultivation level was also constantly improving due to the effects of the medicines. After all, those pills were all made from spiritual herbs.

When the medicinal herbs from Purple Jade Mountain ran out, they went to Qingqiu to find more and had the Little Flower Fairies plant them.

Today, there are several medicinal mountains in Purple Jade Mountain, more than in Flower Mountain.

However, the Little Flower Fairies also benefited. Wu Chu basically gave them all the pills he refined, since they were the weakest in cultivation and could use them.

After all, once one's cultivation reaches the Heavenly Immortal Realm, elixirs become less effective, unless they are special elixirs that contain the power of laws.

This is also the direction Wu Chu is currently researching in alchemy.

On this day, Wu Chu was refining the power of the fire element law from the Five Elements Dao into a fire-attribute pill when he sensed a voice coming from outside the Mountain Protection Array.

Upon hearing this voice, Wu Chu was taken aback. Had so much time passed already?

Because the owner of that voice was none other than Tongtian Xiaodao, the youngest of the Three Kunlun Brothers.
