Lin Zuo couldn’t hold back his smile, he really couldn¹1.

Over twelve thousand people attended the conference, and more than half of the Pill Masters were so busy watching Li Cheng’s alchemy that they forgot to concoct pills themselves.

Now look what happened, the time had come, and they were so shocked that they didn’t even begin their own concoctions—ha, their scores are in the negatives now!

Negative scores naturally meant elimination.

“Vice Alliance Leader Lin, don’t hold it in. If you feel like laughing, just laugh. I, a distinguished Level 6 Alchemy Dao Immortal Master, might have been eliminated, but watching Alliance Leader Li concoct pills has made it worth it!” an elder spoke up.

“Exactly, what does elimination matter? Having the opportunity to watch Alliance Leader Li concoct pills—that’s the real jackpot!”

“That’s right, those who were only focused on concocting pills to advance missed the chance to observe. It will be a loss they’ll regret for the rest of their lives!”

The eliminated contestants chimed in one after another.

This scene actually made those who had advanced begin to doubt their choice. They had focused on alchemy and missed out on something crucial.

Soon, many contestants started exchanging messages secretly.

Gu Sanqiu was not going to wait for them to finish their exchanges. He spoke up, “Since the results are out, let’s begin the second round!”

Lin Zuo nodded and flew towards the Secret Land, “Those in the second round, follow me into the Secret Land.”

But when he reached the entrance to the Secret Land, he saw that no one was following him, so he turned around in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

“Vice Alliance Leader Lin, is there really a need to continue the competition? We’ve all decided to withdraw from this round. We have only one request: to give all the materials for this round to Master Li for concocting, and let us observe. Is that okay?” another elder asked, cupping his fists.

All the contestants were nodding in agreement, signaling that they shared the same sentiment.

This was the result of their secret message negotiation.

Lin Zuo frowned, looking at Gu Sanqiu and Li Cheng.

Gu Sanqiu also looked at Li Cheng and smiled, “The will of the people is clear, go ahead and start. I want to see your alchemy skills again too!”

“Are you sure you’re not treating me as a laborer or a money-making tool?” Li Cheng asked.

Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes, “If you put it that way, then I admit it—I am indeed!”

“Haha, just kidding. How about this… for the Immortal Pills you concoct, you take half. How does that sound?” Gu Sanqiu added.

Li Cheng pondered, the materials were all provided by the Pill League, it would only take a bit of his time, and getting half was not a bad deal.

However, Li Cheng knew that a Pill Master normally required double the materials for pill concoction services. If the first batch was successful, they would take half the pills produced and not return the second batch of materials.

In other words, if they had a 100% success rate, a Pill Master could earn three- quarters of the profits.

After mulling it over for a few seconds, Li Cheng said, “Then let’s do it this way. I’ll concoct the seventh, eighth, and ninth level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills. Whatever amount of materials we have, I’ll concoct them all, and after they are finished, I’ll take seventy percent of the Emperor Grade Pills. I don’t want anything else.”

Gu Sanqiu was taken aback, “You’re currently in the Immortal Monarch Realm, are you trying to use these Immortal Pills to jump to the Immortal Emperor Realm? That’s possible!”

He knew that Li Cheng had obtained the Purple Token, and that he wouldn’t encounter any bottlenecks until he reached the Perfect Immortal Emperor Realm. With seventh, eighth, and ninth level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills, he’d just need to refine them to step into Complete Immortal Emperor Realm!

“Cough, Alliance Leader, Young Master Li, we don’t have many of the seventh, eighth, and ninth level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills. We have only about a hundred batches of the seventh level, and even fewer of the eighth and ninth!” Lin Zuo said with a bitter smile.

Li Cheng was speechless, there were so few, and it was hard to even produce Emperor Grade Pills!

But that was normal; the higher the level of the Immortal Elixir, the harder it was to find. For the Pill League to possess over a hundred batches of Seventh Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills was already astonishingly wealthy.

However, the most useful thing for him at present was these three types of Immortal Pills that could guarantee his promotion to a Perfect Immortal Emperor.

“It seems I need to lower my standards. It’s no longer realistic to expect to consume Emperor Grade of such high-level Immortal Pills. I’ll make do with the ultimate or King Grade,” Li Cheng thought to himself.

Coming to a decision, Li Cheng nodded, “Just those three types, I’ll concoct whatever amounts we have. I’ll take sixty percent, okay?”

Gu Sanqiu nodded, “No problem, you can even take ninety percent. Leaving a little for the Pill League to let everyone observe and study is enough. I’d like to see you step into the Perfect Immortal Emperor Realm soon, so I can retire.”

“I’m not that heartless, sixty percent is sufficient.”

Even if it’s the ultimate grade Rising Yuan Immortal Pills, an ordinary cultivator would need only six or seven to move through an entire realm. Li Cheng needed more for his cultivation of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, but even so, he wouldn’t need more than sixty percent.

Not to mention the birth of many King Grade pills.

With the remaining pills, Li Cheng planned to give them to his disciples.

“I’ll go fetch all the materials for these three types of Immortal Pills right away!” Lin Zuo hurried off.

“Be quick about it. By the time you said that, you could have been at the treasury. So, talk less and work more!” Gu Sanqiu urged with impatience.

Lin Zuo’s mouth twitched as he flew off into the distance, thinking to himself, just you be in a hurry!

Soon, Lin Zuo arrived with three storage rings and respectfully handed them over to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng inspected them and found that in addition to the materials, there were also pill recipes.

After committing the pill recipes to memory, Li Cheng poured all the ingredients for the Seventh Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills.

Seventh Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills, suitable for Immortal Kings to consume, a couple of top-quality ones were enough to raise an Immortal King by one minor realm.

Middle stage, late stage, peak, complete. Considering these several realms, six or seven top-quality ones could essentially guarantee an Immortal King’s complete realm.

Top-quality Seventh Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills were also quite scarce for the Pill League, not to mention for other cultivators.

Therefore, it was simply impossible to obtain six or seven top-quality Rising Yuan Immortal Pills to enhance one’s cultivation.

But Li Cheng was different, his least offering was always top-quality.

A total of one hundred and ninety batches of Seventh Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pill materials, Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction—this could yield an Emperor Grade or two!

With his own strength, he could completely consume Immortal Pills across realms.

Amid everyone’s anticipation, Li Cheng began alchemy, his technique as astonishing as ever.

The crowd had become numb with shock; soon after, they gazed in a daze as the Pill Tribulation descended.

The Pill Tribulation did not last long, and when it dissipated, there were over a thousand top-quality, fifty-five King Grade, and two Emperor Grade pills left.

Li Cheng took one Emperor Grade and sixty percent of the top-quality and King Grade ones, and continued to refine the Eighth Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pills.

There were only ninety batches of Eighth Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pill materials, which only produced one Emperor Grade, successfully upgrading it during the Pill Tribulation.

In the end, there were more than five hundred top-quality, twenty-six King Grade, and one Emperor Grade pills.

Li Cheng took the Emperor Grade and fifteen King Grade, along with three hundred top-quality pills.

Ignoring the envious looks of the crowd, Li Cheng took out the last storage ring, which contained only ten batches of Ninth Level Rising Yuan Immortal Pill materials.

With so little material, it was undoubtedly impossible to produce Emperor Grade that would attract a Pill Tribulation; that is to say, only top-quality and King Grade could be refined.

Indeed, after a short while, thirty King Grade and ninety top-quality pills were born!

Li Cheng took sixty percent of them. With only these Immortal Pills, he simply needed to refine them, and he could ensure his advancement to the Perfect Immortal Emperor Realm.

The resource issue was resolved!

After putting away the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, he saw the Pill League’s vicinity crowded like a sea of people, silent as the grave.

Li Cheng then cupped his fists around the crowd and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, the alchemy session has come to an end!”

The sound of Li Cheng’s voice brought everyone back to their senses, and before anyone knew who started it, thunderous applause broke out, resounding through the heavens.

“Incredible, to refine multiple batches of materials at once, and all the products turned out to be above top-quality!”

“Indeed, Master Li’s mastery of the Alchemy Dao must be the first in the world!”

“The Pill League, Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Wordless Sect, what fortune they have!”

On the side of the Wordless Sect, the Sect Master of the Wordless Sect was already crying tears of joy, “Guest Li is truly the benefactor of our Wordless Sect, from this moment on, our sect will rise!”

Bai Xian nodded, “It’s time for me to fulfill the promise, the Wordless Heavenly Scripture…”
