Hearing Qian Shanyong's exclamation, Li Qiang finally paid attention to what High Person Tianzhen looked like.
He was a very fat person, short in stature, with small eyes, very light eyebrows, a large bulbous nose, a round face with a double chin, and sparse hair.
He blinked his small eyes, looked at Qian Shanyong, and said pitifully, "Who are you? I don't remember you. Strange, someone actually knows me. How touching!"
Qian Shanyong took a step back, and said somewhat flusteredly, "Perhaps I've mistaken you for someone else."
High Person Tianzhen chuckled and said, "No, you haven't mistaken me for someone else. I am Tianzhen." His small eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, looking very happy.
Dainan Fengyu asked curiously, "Brother Qian, who exactly is he?" Anyone who can make Qian Shanyong feel panicked must be extraordinary.
Qian Shanyong smiled wryly and shook his head.
The High Person Tianzhen, dressed in a brown robe riddled with holes, looked pitiful and said, "Someone kind enough... please give me some clothes to wear. Sigh, I don't know how long I've worn this, it's just too tiring to look at."
He stretched out his hand and turned around in front of everyone. Everyone was dumbfounded; this guy was too strange.
Li Qiang's mind was entirely focused on the Beiye Pill Cauldron Beiye Pill Cauldron. As he adjusted it, he said, " Tianzhen, clothes are a minor matter. We'll talk after I've finished cultivating the divine pill."
Upon hearing this, Qian Shanyong nearly fainted. He exclaimed, "Brother, what did you call him? Never mind, I don't know anything." He suddenly realized that now was not the time to investigate the identity of High Person Tianzhen.
Chiming circled High Person Tianzhen, grinning, and said, "Hey, you were trapped inside the Beiye Pill Cauldron? Hehe, impressive. To survive inside the Beiye Pill Cauldron without being refined, your strength is quite impressive..." He casually put his arm around High Person Tianzhen's shoulder, leaned closer, and whispered, "Brother, tell me, why is Luo Heaven High Immortal afraid of you? Who are you?"
The High Person Tianzhen squinted, his face full of smiles, and said, "He's afraid of me? Don't be ridiculous. Look at me, a wretched old man, so pitiful. Please, have mercy on me."
As he spoke, he subtly pushed Chiming.
The panic that Qian Shanyong showed when he saw High Person Tianzhen made everyone present dare not underestimate him. However, his strange attitude made it impossible for anyone to approach him. Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to Li Qiang Qiang's alchemy.
Chiming whispered, "Old fox! That's only my older brother; he's a pushover, he'll save anyone..."
The High Person Tianzhen asked curiously, "Oh? He's a pushover? Who exactly is he? How does he have the Beiye Pill Cauldron? And who are you, little brother?" He blinked his small eyes and looked at Chiming.
Chiming turned to look at Li Qiang, knowing he couldn't help now, so he pulled High Person Tianzhen, "Since we're just killing time, let's sit down and chat. Hey, don't call me 'little brother,' I'm not younger than you."
He cared most about rankings; if Li Qiang hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have called Li Qiang "Brother Li Qiang."
High Person Tianzhen glanced at Chiming, and the two sat down cross-legged. He rubbed his eyes and said casually, "Your cultivation of divinity is very strange; it seems you forced it... You haven't answered what I just said."
Chiming was startled and couldn't help but look at this unassuming High Person Tianzhen with newfound respect. To be able to see through his problem at a glance, this man was truly extraordinary. He said, "I don't know how Beiye Pill Cauldron. My elder brother is Li Qiang, and I am Chiming."
The High Person Tianzhen blinked. " Li Qiang? Never heard of him... Chiming? Who is Chiming? There is a Devil Venerable Chiming Lord in the Black Devil Realm, but I've never heard of anyone named Chiming in this realm..."
Chiming said smugly, "That's right, I used to be the Devil Venerable Chiming, but alas, I'm not anymore. It's all thanks to my elder brother!"
Cultivating divinity has always been a contradictory thing for him. In fact, he prefers the freedom he had when he was the Demon Venerable. The constraints that the cultivation Cultivation Method brought him after he became a god made him feel quite unhappy.
The High Person Tianzhen was quite surprised, never expecting that this Chiming was actually the Chi Ming Devil Venerable Chiming. He nodded and said, "Hmm, I'm starting to believe you. Your elder brother is indeed a kind-hearted person. I never thought he would even dare to save Demon Venerable. No wonder he came to save me from the divine array... What kind of divine pill is he cultivating now?"
Chiming said, "I'm not quite sure what the Seven Assemblies Pill is..." He suddenly realized something was wrong, "Hey, that's going too far! I've told you everything, but you won't tell me who you are... You're too slippery."
The High Person Tianzhen looked innocently into Chiming's eyes, stretched out his chubby hand, and gently patted Chiming, saying, "Didn't you already know? My name is Tianzhen. How can you wrongly accuse me of being slippery? Alas, I'm so pitiful."
Chiming held his head, admitting defeat. This guy always said, "I'm so pitiful," which was simply unbearable. He pushed away the fat hand of the High Person Tianzhen, got up, and ignored him.
After the Beiye Pill Cauldron was sealed, Li Qiang was able to control it with only a small amount of Divine Yi Power.
Mei Youbing walked over, sat cross-legged next to Li Qiang, and asked in a low voice, "Young man, why did it take so long?"
Li Qiang briefly explained how to apply the medicine, Qian Shanyong and the others also gathered around to listen.
Mei Youbing exclaimed in surprise, " Azure-White Heart is so powerful! This Beiye Pill Cauldron is truly amazing!"
Qian Shanyong transmitted his voice, "Brother, why did you release High Person Tianzhen? Do you even know who he is?"
Li Qiang calmly transmitted his voice, "Who is he?" In truth, he didn't care High Person Tianzhen; now that he had rescued him, he wouldn't regret it.
Qian Shanyong and transmitted his voice, "Although he's not the Primordial Hermit, his strength is almost there. Anyone who underestimates him... will be in big trouble. This guy has a long history in the Immortal Realm; he should be one of the earliest ancient immortals. He's been missing for a long time, and who knew he was trapped in the Beiye Pill Cauldron. You rescued him... sigh, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."
Li Qiang transmitted his voice, "Thank you."
He was truly grateful to Qian Shanyong; thanks to his reminder, he wasn't completely unprepared.
He didn't want to be distracted for the time being, so he sat Beiye Pill Cauldron and began to regulate the Gentle Pill Fire.
Throughout the entire alchemy process, Li Qiang needed to perform over six thousand hand seals without missing a single one. The benefits of such intense concentration for cultivation were self-evident.
Li Qiang sat there for more than sixty days. The immortals and cultivators present were all experts, and they could easily go without eating or sleeping for that long.
Many people gained their own insights from Li Qiang's ever-changing hand seals. During this time, no one left; everyone watched Li Qiang refine the pills with complete concentration.
High Person Tianzhen sat to the side the whole time, his small eyes gleaming with a faint silver light; no one knew what he was thinking.
The Beiye Pill Cauldron has a unique feature: while others may spend decades or even centuries cultivating a batch of spiritual pills, it can be completed in just a few dozen days, or even a few days.
The cultivation time for the Seven Assemblies Pill is not long, only requiring a hundred days of effort. The most crucial period is the first sixty days, which mainly involves adjusting the Gentle Pill Fire. After this period, the pill will begin to take shape.
The gestation period for the Seven Assemblies Pill is more than forty days, and it takes about seven days to produce the elixir. From the lowest to the highest grade of divine elixir, one batch of elixir is produced every day.
After completing the last hand seal, Li Qiang felt dizzy and lightheaded. Performing the hand seals continuously like this was extremely tiring, so he immediately entered a meditative state after stopping.
Three days later, Li Qiang opened his eyes and was overjoyed. He had finally entered the second realm of the Five-Pillar Heaven – the " Heart of Madness " realm, and he felt his power increase greatly.
High Person Tianzhen suddenly laughed and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."
Everyone thought that this High Person Tianzhen was crazy and didn't know what he was congratulating. Only Li Qiang was secretly surprised. He knew that High Person Tianzhen was congratulating him.
Li Qiang laughed, "Alchemy is also a form of training, hehe, this time the harvest is quite substantial."
He glanced at High Person Tianzhen, winked at him, and High Person Tianzhen smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Li Qiang stood up, and a large group of people, including Qian Shanyong, Tianshi, Dainan Fengyu, Chiming, Mei Youbing, Mei'er, and Ling Baihui, gathered around him, asking questions all at once. Li Qiang patiently explained to them one by one.
Their voices were loud enough for all the cultivators present to hear, as they were all highly skilled. They were all amazed by the exchange and found their questions answered.
You see, they saw Li Qiang perform a series of hand seals, and although they could understand some of it, nothing was as clear as Li Qiang explaining it to them personally.
The High Person Tianzhen shook his head repeatedly; Li Qiang's actions were truly astonishing. He, too, listened intently from the side; his cultivation was extremely profound, and he gained a great deal from the experience.
Li Qiang saw Qian Chi'ou standing outside the circle with a grin, so he waved to him and said, " Chi'ou, come here quickly."
Qian Chi'ou flew to Li Qiang's side, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Junior Uncle."
Li Qiang looked him over carefully and smiled, "Good, your tribulation will be much easier from now on."
Qian Chi'ou was beaming with joy. His power had increased dramatically after he entered meditation, and even more strangely, his personality had changed. He was no longer as rigid as before.
Li Qiang was in a great mood; apart from some difficulty in distributing the medicine, everything had gone smoothly so far.
The most detailed record in the Beiye Heavenly Scripture is the cultivation method of the Seven Assemblies Pill. Li Qiang only lacks experience. With the help of several Qian Shanyong, and the alchemy master Mei Youbing, almost all the problems have been solved. As long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be able to cultivate the Seven Assemblies Pill this time.
Li Qiang walked up to High Person Tianzhen, took out a set of clothes, and said with a smile, " Tianzhen, here, take these clothes and change into them. This is the first time I've seen a master like you say you don't have any clothes to change into."
Chiming laughed, "Brother, don't listen to his pitiful act. He doesn't have any clothes to change into... Nobody would believe that!"
With a pained expression, the High Person Tianzhen said earnestly, "I really have no clothes to change into. I'm so pitiful."
Everyone around took a step back, including Li Qiang.
This guy's cry of "I'm so pitiful" was unbearable. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, with a drawn-out tone, sounding even more pitiful than a beggar's cry. Combined with his expression, no one would believe that this guy was a Divine Ability- powerful expert.
"Oh, I see, my Tianzhen one! I'll give you a set of clothes..." Li Qiang had just entered the realm of Heart of Madness, and when others talked nonsense, he started to talk nonsense too.
The High Person Tianzhen rolled his small eyes, appearing extremely grateful, and said repeatedly, "Big brother is the best. Sigh, none of you are good. I'm so pitiful." He reached out and took the clothes.
Li Qiang was terrified when he was called "little brother," and couldn't help but shudder, ultimately giving in.
Chiming plopped down on the ground. "Damn it, if I had a brother like that, I'd strangle him first... I... I can't take it anymore!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The High Person Tianzhen muttered, "Sigh, no one listens to the truth! I'm already pitiful enough, trapped in the Beiye Pill Cauldron for so long, it's normal that I have no clothes to wear... Heartless fellows..." He actually calmly started changing his clothes in front of everyone.
Ling Baihui couldn't help but curse, "This old man is going too far! Hey, can't you wear it somewhere else?"
Li Qiang smiled and advised, " Ling'er, don't mind him."
The High Person Tianzhen slowly changed his clothes, looking at himself carefully from left to right, and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Good, that's really good. Don't I look much more energetic?" He acted as if he hadn't heard Ling Baihui's words.
Ling Baihui whispered, "It's so ugly, really hideous!"
Li Qiang stopped her, saying, " Ling'er..."
Ling Baihui turned around and hugged Mei'er, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, Mei'er, let's go to the side."
A glint of silver flashed in the eyes of the High Person Tianzhen tone, "Young man, thank you for bringing me out. I have to go now. I've been trapped in the Beiye Pill Cauldron for too long. Alas, I should go back and take a look. Goodbye."
Li Qiang said with a grin, "See you again sometime."
The High Person Tianzhen felt very strange; this little fellow seemed to have completely forgotten the promise he made within the divine array.
Inside the divine formation, he had sworn that he would grant Li Qiang's every request, no matter what.
Qian Shanyong had been keeping an eye on High Person Tianzhen. Hearing that he was leaving, he became secretly anxious. He sent a telepathic message to Li Qiang: "Brother, try to keep High Person Tianzhen here. He'll be a great help to us when we go to Xinbo Cape."
Li Qiang's heart skipped a beat, realizing that was indeed the case. But after thinking for a moment, he slowly shook his head, because he couldn't figure out what kind of person the High Person Tianzhen was, and besides, he didn't want to expect anything in return for his kindness. He transmitted his voice, "Forget it, he just escaped from the divine array and probably has a lot to do. Let him go."
Qian Shanyong and said no more.
Li Qiang said, " Tianzhen, if you want to get out, I'll have them release the restrictions."
The High Person Tianzhen licked his lips and asked, "Young man, don't you need my help?"
Li Qiang was slightly startled. It seemed that he was truly Divine Ability, as he could even hear the Qian Shanyong.
After weighing his options, Li Qiang said, "No need, you can go back."
High Person Tianzhen nodded and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave. The restriction need not be removed."
He suddenly transformed into a streak of light and vanished without a trace. Sure enough, the restrictions set up by Qian Shanyong and the others had no effect on him.
Li Qiang felt a little regretful. This guy's strength was indeed extraordinary, and he would have been a good helper if he had gone to Xinbo Cape.
Qian Shanyong saw through Li Qiang's thoughts and laughed, "What, are you regretting it?"
Li Qiang sighed and said frankly, "There is a bit of that, but we have enough manpower, so there's no need to force him to stay."
Qian Shanyong nodded and said, "Good, upright and honest, remarkable." He admired Li Qiang's frankness and added, "It's better that High Person Tianzhen isn't going. He has many enemies, and we can't handle offending even one of them."
Time flies, and more than thirty days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Qiang's suggestion was extremely beneficial to the cultivators present. Since everyone was waiting for the pills to be produced from the Beiye Pill Cauldron and had nothing to do, he suggested that great masters such as Qian Shanyong, Tianshi, Dainan Fengyu, and Chiming answer the questions from the crowd.
Qian Shanyong was the first to agree. After all, he had created this place himself, and he had a deep affection for the cultivators here. In the past, he had been mindful of the rules of the Immortal Realm, but now he had completely let go of them because he knew that he could not return for the time being.
For the past thirty days or so, the alchemy site has become the first immortal cultivation conference on Sealed Fate Planet.
In the final days, more and more cultivators asked questions. Even Li Qiang, Ling Baihui, Mei'er, and some Grandmaster-level experts in the Body Integration Realm came out to answer questions. The atmosphere was so enthusiastic that it surprised everyone. Not only did ordinary cultivators gain a lot, but the experts who answered the questions also benefited greatly.
Through this alchemy competition, the Chongxuan Sect and the Ancient Sword Academy established their prestigious positions on Sealed Fate Planet.
The day finally arrived when the elixir would be produced.
As the Beiye Pill Cauldron gradually grew larger and taller, Li Qiang was already prepared. When the Beiye Pill Cauldron turned a translucent vermilion color, he cast the hand seal to collect the first batch of pills.
In an instant, the Beiye Pill Cauldron emitted a dazzling red light, and a deep rumble resounded, causing the entire Pill Platform to tremble.
Qian Shanyong, Tianshi, and Dainan Fengyu simultaneously cast reinforced restrictions.
The roaring sound varied in intensity, and from a distance, the Pill Cauldron seemed to shift and change, turning from crimson to golden yellow, and then to purple.
Li Qiang was completely focused on circulating his Divine Yi Power; if he made a mistake now, it would be too late for regrets. They had already discussed it, and each person on the Pill Platform had their own task.
The first pill is called Xiuxian Pill, which is the worst of the Seven Assemblies Pill. Cultivators can also take it. It can quickly replenish Spiritual Qi and is a precious spirit medicine for practicing cultivation and healing injuries.
Xiuxian Pill is considered a good elixir in the Immortal Realm, but it is very rare to find in the Cultivation Realm.
Once the Seven Assemblies Pill is cultivated, the most abundant one is the Xiuxian Pill, with at least seven hundred, or even more.
Mei'er and Ling Baihui were in charge of collecting the pills. They prepared countless cold crystal bottles. Except for the last three pills which were collected by Li Qiang, the rest were collected by the two sisters.
Li Qiang had already flown above the Pill Cauldron. He was still sitting cross-legged, his hand seals constantly changing. Streams of Divine Yi Power shot into the Pill Cauldron, and with each stream of Divine Yi Power, the Beiye Pill Cauldron responded with a thunderous roar. The faster Li Qiang's hand seals were, the more frequent the thunderous roars became.
After completing the final hand seal, Li Qiang shouted, "Everyone, pay attention, the pill is about to be extracted!"
After a loud bang, the entire alchemy field fell silent.
The deafening roar suddenly subsided, and a strange feeling welled up in everyone's hearts, as if the world had suddenly stopped turning, a stillness that made people uneasy.
Ling Baihui and Mei'er flew into the air and hovered to the left and right. Ling Baihui flicked her hand and threw out the Cold Crystal Bottle. As Yao Immortal, she could control more than 500 Cold Crystal Bottles at once. Mei'er was not weak either, and could control more than 300 at the same time. In an instant, the two of them were surrounded by glittering crystal bottles.
A beautiful melody softly began to play, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the Beiye Pill Cauldron. A seven-colored radiance surrounded a green beaded lid, which flew out of the cauldron's mouth. Then, green light mixed with countless glittering green specks shot into the sky.
As everyone knows, those green highlights are Xiuxian Pill.
A rich, refreshing fragrance wafted out.
Li Qiang used his Divine Yi Power to support the beaded lid and suddenly shouted, " Old Qian, hurry up and help! We've produced too many pills! Mei'er, Ling'er, put two pills in each of the cold crystal bottles!"
The people on the Pill Platform immediately sprang into action, all flying up to collect the pills.
Li Qiang estimated that this batch of pills produced three to four thousand pills, which he couldn't believe was so many.
Qian Shanyong helped put away the Xiuxian Pill and said, "This is an excellent omen. I've heard that if a large quantity of pills is produced in one batch, it's possible to get a real pill from six or seven batches."
Li Qiang didn't expect this batch of pills to produce Seven Assemblies Pill. He would be satisfied if it produced Five Assemblies Pill. Generally speaking, it's rare to produce Six Assemblies Pill or Seven Assemblies Pill; most are empty pills. However, the pill-producing process is essential; otherwise, the cauldron cannot be closed smoothly.
Mei'er exclaimed happily, "I've put it away!"
The other people who had collected the pills also said, "I'm done too."
Li Qiang withdrew his Divine Yi Power, and the green bead slowly sank into the Pill Cauldron.
Li Qiang asked, "How many Xiuxian Pill did you collect?"
The calculations were quickly completed, and a total of over 3,600 Xiuxian Pill were collected.
Mei Youbing could hardly believe his eyes. He sighed, "What kind of alchemy method is this? It's unbelievable! I've been refining pills for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen pills emerge like a fountain. Ah, I've learned something new."
Mei'er handed Li Qiang a crystal bottle and said with a sweet smile, "Brother, look, this is the Xiuxian Pill."
The cold crystal bottle was only the size of a thumb, containing two Xiuxian Pill, each about the size of a soybean, which floated up and down inside. Their emerald green color was interspersed with specks of silver, making them appear quite magical.
Recalling the Reverse-Going Pill he cultivated on Heavenly Court Star, Li Qiang couldn't help but exclaim, " The Beiye Pill Cauldron truly possesses the power to seize the heavens and earth, the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous!"
The final pill of the Seven Assemblies Pill is quite unique; it's basically conceived once a day, producing one pill each day. When it reaches the Five Assemblies Pill, everyone gets nervous.
The Five Assemblies Pill produced thirty-six pills.
When the Six Assemblies Pill was conceived, Qian Shanyong and several other immortals couldn't help but feel nervous, as they had never seen the Wuyun Divine Pill before.
Unexpectedly, the Six Assemblies Pill were successfully extracted, and a total of twelve pills were collected.
Finally, the Seven Assemblies Pill are about to be conceived.
For an entire day, everyone stood and waited, no one knowing whether the Seven Assemblies Pill could be conceived, but it seemed quite promising.
Li Qiang opened the Beiye Pill Cauldron six times in a row, and the great consumption of his energy made him feel somewhat tired. He knew that whether he could conceive the Seven Assemblies Pill depended on his efforts. If he was even slightly careless, the Seven Assemblies Pill would be lost. But he no longer cared.
Li Qiang was most nervous when collecting the Five Assemblies Pill, because it concerned Xuan Long's life and death. Without Xuan Long, it meant he would never be able to find his master and elder brother again. Therefore, he was most anxious when collecting the Five Assemblies Pill.
As for whether the Six Assemblies Pill and the Seven Assemblies Pill could be produced, he didn't care. Without the worry of gain or loss, he was able to collect the pills more freely.
The cauldron of the Seven Assemblies Pill Beiye Pill Cauldron shrank to about the height of a person, its color resembling flowing liquid gold. As the time drew near, Li Qiang carefully performed the elixir-gathering hand seals, reminding everyone, "Everyone, pay attention, this is the final elixir gathering. Protect me." With that, he cast the hand seals.
As darkness fell, it was followed by a sudden burst of light, turning the entire sky a fiery red.
Mei Youbing stared blankly at the sky, then sighed again, "Alas, the weather is changing... even the heavens know the pill is about to be released..."
Suddenly, a large patch of crimson clouds appeared in the sky, forming a huge vortex. At the center of the vortex was a dark, gaping hole, pointing directly at the mouth of the Beiye Pill Cauldron.
Qian Shanyong's expression changed. He looked at Tianshi and Dainan Fengyu, his tone somewhat uncertain. "There are Heavenly Tribulation in alchemy?"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the Pill Platform looked up at the sky.
Tianshi's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "It's like Great Heavenly Tribulation, damn it! The Seven Assemblies Pill actually summoned Heavenly Tribulation... I..."
The red clouds began to spin rapidly, with dark blue ripples moving through the cloud layer.
Dainan Fengyu also noticed this. She frowned slightly and said worriedly, " The Seven Assemblies Pill must be extraordinary. If we don't protect it, even if the pill is successfully formed, the Treasure Flame Assembling and Pillaring Divine Pill will be destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation, and the person who refined the pill will also be severely injured."
Everyone knows that the process of obtaining the elixir must be completed in one go, and at this moment, Li Qiang simply cannot stop.
