Chapter 1049
by Moonlit_Scholar_CZong Ao never intended to monopolize such a huge benefit by himself from beginning to end.
This is the place discovered by the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce. Rainfall Star is the cultivation star of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce. Relying on his identity and overwhelming others with force, it was already the limit for him to take 80% of the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water. If he took all of those Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water away, he couldn’t guarantee whether Hali Ka and the others would turn against him or not.
He didn’t have the confidence to deal with so many powerhouses whose strength and cultivation were higher than his.
So he took the initiative to take a step back sensibly and left ten drops of the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water！
Hali Ka and the others heard Zong Ao’s words and their expressions all shook. They became as excited as if they had been Youdaoplaceholder0 with chicken blood and clasped their fists one after another: “Thank you, Master. Although the multicolored meteorite is rare, we can still find some.
“Well, act quickly. God knows if these Mysterious Yin Sunflowers will suddenly fall and seep into the ground.” Zong Ao waved his hand and walked out with the container in his arms.
Halika didn’t dare to delay either. He only left the middle-aged woman to guard here and, together with Lin Mufeng, took the lead and quickly left. Obviously, they were going to search for the hidden Five-Colored Meteorite Essence in the branch’s warehouse.
Yang Kai silently followed behind Zong Ao and followed him out of this ancient ruin all the way.
The two of them controlled the star shuttle and returned to the valley palace.
In the side room, Xue Yue was still sleeping peacefully as when Yang Kai left before. Yang Kai came over to take a look at her, and seeing that there was no accident, he went to look for Zong Ao again.
It seemed that because he had obtained the precious Mysterious Yin Sunflowers, Zong Ao was very excited. When Yang Kai came over, he was frantically refining pills in the alchemy room to vent the excitement in his heart.
Those dozens of alchemy furnaces were infused with Saint Yuan by Zong Ao, and they all hummed. One by one, magical and mysterious spiritual arrays were constructed by Zong Ao and into the alchemy furnaces after another, medicinal materials flew out like snowflakes from the space ring in his hand. He quickly condensed the medicinal liquid and threw it into the alchemy furnace.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but be moved and stared wide-eyed at this incredible scene.
He had never imagined that there could be someone in this world who could refine pills so insanely. One person was busy in front of dozens of pill furnaces, simultaneously refining dozens of pills！
At this moment, he finally understood why Zong Ao was able to refine so many pills for the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce.
Judging from his techniques and proficiency, Zong Ao had not been doing this kind of thing for a day or two. It was very likely that he had always been refining pills in this astonishing way.
Yang Kai had the Divine Sense Fire, was proficient in all kinds of lost spirit arrays and also had an advantage in the way of pill refining, but he self-assessed that no matter what he could not reach the level of Zong Ao’s superb skills.
He could at most handle four or five pill furnaces, and that was his limit.
There are always people better than oneself, and there is always a sky beyond the sky！ Yang Kai had a realization in his heart and felt a deep sense of respect. Just standing at the door, he stared intently at the movements of Zong Ao’s hands, not missing any details.
Zong Ao also had no intention of driving him away. He was busy with his own affairs, and the excitement on his face had never subsided. Instead, it became even more flushed. Exquisite spirit arrays were continuously depicted by him with Saint Yuan and into different pill furnaces. Various different spirit arrays fit together perfectly, forming a complex and cumbersome composite spirit array that took effect inside the pill furnace, catalyzing the medicinal properties and helping him refine pills.
Everything was in an orderly manner, and everything was extremely proficient, without the slightest mistake.
After a full half a day, different medicinal scents wafted in the alchemy room. Those scents were mixed together, and when smelled, they made people feel refreshed and as if they had been enlightened, full of energy.
Yang Kai’s gaze became even more focused.
“Rise！” Zong Ao suddenly shouted in a low voice. Dozens of alchemy furnaces trembled simultaneously, and pills of different colors flew out of the alchemy furnaces as if in response to an order, raining down into the prepared jade bottles like raindrops.
Zong Ao casually threw a recovery pill into his mouth, allowing his own strength to slowly recover, and couldn’t wait to come to those jade bottles, picked them up, and then checked them one by one.
After a long while, he finished the inspection and said with dissatisfaction on his face： “Alas. There are only two. Pills are really damn difficult to refine！”
As he spoke like this, he put away the two pills with pill patterns, and casually threw the rest aside.
This scene seemed somewhat familiar. Yang Kai had seen it once before when he brought Xue Yue here to look for Zong Ao. His heart moved, and he asked: “Senior is refining pills like this to increase the probability of the appearance of pill patterns?”
Zong Ao turned around and sat on his chair, grinned, and nodded slightly, saying： “The kid has some eyesight. That’s right. The reason why the old man goes to so much trouble to refine pills is to increase the probability of the appearance of pill patterns！”
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Dan lines are something that can only be encountered by chance. Even the most top alchemists can’t guarantee that pills they refine will definitely have dan lines. It’s just that when an alchemist’s skills are proficient, the probability of dan lines appearing when refining low-level pills will be much higher. I have been committed to in researching dan lines for hundreds of years. It was not until a hundred years ago that I thought of this stupid method of winning by quantity. Otherwise, why do you think I would refine pills for the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce for free without charging any remuneration? Humph, what I want is for them to provide me with medicinal materials. Otherwise, how could I let them take such a great advantage?
Refining pills like Zong Ao consumes an extremely large amount of spiritual herbs and medicines. Without the support of a powerful force with strong capital behind it, it is simply impossible to carry out for a long time.
And the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce, which is rich in the star field, is naturally the best choice. Zong Ao’s choice to cooperate with the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce is of great benefit to both parties.
“How is senior’s research going？” Yang Kai asked with great interest.
“Difficult, so difficult!” The longer I have been immersed in this line of work, the more I feel that pills are difficult to refine. Don’t be afraid of you laughing. I can only maintain a probability of two out of a hundred, or even less, to refine pills with dan lines. Well, I’m referring to pills above the Saint King level.”
Two out of a hundred means that for every hundred pills he refines, only two pills with dan lines can be produced.
This probability seems very small, but looking at the entire alchemy world, it is already an alarming number.
Many alchemists, spending their entire lives’ energy, only when they are extremely lucky will they refine one or two pills with pill patterns.
And Zong Ao, almost every time he refines pills, there is always one, and it is a very rare thing that there is none when his luck is bad.
“I have also refined several Saint King-level pills with pill clouds. Do you want to take a look, kid？” Zong Ao had a show-off expression on his face and was extremely proud.
Pill patterns are difficult to form, and pill clouds are even more difficult！
So far, Zong Ao has collected thousands of pills with pill patterns, but there are only a few with pill clouds, which he regards as treasures. He often takes them out and examines them when he is in a low mood. Whenever this happens, his mood will immediately improve.
He has lived here alone for nearly a hundred years, which is boring. If it weren’t for the obsession in his heart to study advanced alchemy skills, no matter how high his strength is, he would go crazy.
Now that there is finally a Yang Kai here to accompany him, and he looks good at him of course he has the intention to show off.
“Senior’s precious collection, this junior doesn’t dare to covet it!” Yang Kai didn’t give him a chance to show off, which made Zong Ao a little disappointed. He pouted dissatisfiedly and said, “Ignorant brat, you don’t seize such a great opportunity. It seems that your achievements in alchemy are doomed to be limited!
A pill with Dan lines! It’s a rare sight in the world. In the alchemy world, no matter what grade such a thing is, even if it’s a prefectural or alchemy pill it’s still a treasure. An outstanding alchemist who observes it may gain some insights from it.”
Not to mention the few pills with Dan clouds that Zong Ao has. They are of the Saint King grade！ They are the greatest achievements of his hard work in the past hundred years and the crystallization of his century-old efforts. He won’t show them easily.
Today, he took the initiative to mention it, but was rejected by Yang Kai. Zong Ao suddenly felt that his hot face was stuck to someone else’s cold butt, and his good mood was immediately ruined. Naturally, he wouldn’t give Yang Kai a good face.
How could he know that as early as on the Tongxuan Continent, Yang Kai had already refined pills with Dan clouds. Moreover, whether it was Yang Kai himself or Xia Ning Shang , when refining pills, the probability of producing Dan lines was countless times greater than his.
Senior, this junior has already taken you to find the Xuan Yin Kui Shui and senior has also reaped a great deal. Isn’t it time to tell this junior the method to save my master? Yang Kai ignored Zong Ao’s ugly expression and took the initiative to mention the previous deal.
“Hmph！ A lecherous person！” Zong Ao muttered in dissatisfaction again. He clearly thought that Yang Kai was deeply in love with Xue Yue and thus couldn’t wait to inquire about the news.
Although he suddenly didn’t like Yang Kai very much, the deal was a deal. Zong Ao still kept his promise. After pondering for a while, he said, “To save her, you just need to refine a Purple Heart Soul Returning Pill！”
After speaking, he looked at Yang Kai with a gloating expression, as if he wanted to see his joke.
“Purple Heart Soul Returning Pill？” Yang Kai’s brows furrowed, and he quickly thought about it.
Previously, when Zong Ao went to find someone to forge a container to collect the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water, he flipped through the classics in this palace and wrote down the configurations of many pill formulas. The Purple Heart Soul Returning Pill was one of them.
He was thinking, recalling the grade of the Purple Heart Soul Returning Pill and the medicinal materials needed.
“Void King-level pill？” Yang Kai’s complexion changed drastically, and he exclaimed.
“Naturally it’s a Void King-level pill！” Zong Ao sneered strangely. “The Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water is a supreme treasure for cultivation. Do you think the damage it causes is so easy to resolve？ Only the Void King-level Purple Heart Soul Returning Pill can relieve the girl’s danger. You should know better than anyone that not only her vitality has been frozen, but also her soul spirit body is in disarray and nowhere to be found. It’s not so easy to treat.”
Yang Kai’s complexion darkened.
Zong Ao added, “Lad, I advise you to give up. First of all, how many people in the entire star field can refine a Void King Grade Pill? Secondly, you can’t even gather the materials. Just take the Soul Returning and Soul Gathering Flower with a ten-thousand-year medicinal age. Where are you going to find it? Such a thing doesn’t exist in the entire star field.”
The Soul Returning and Soul Gathering Flower is not too precious a medicinal material. It grows on every cultivation star, but the one needed to refine the Purple Heart Soul Returning Pill must have a medicinal age of over ten thousand years.
