Chapter 245: Chapter 244 You are not dead yet 1

Gu Sanqiu’s words left Li Cheng momentarily stunned. Not to repair the Formation?

Although the pill produced was only a King-grade Half-God Pill, its explosive power was extremely strong. A slight mishap could send the pill flying off to who knows where.

With two people present, it could be chased down and retrieved without any pressure, but if it were to escape, it would definitely alarm the entire Divine Palace Region.

However, if Gu Sanqiu was cautious enough, he indeed could suppress it.

With this in mind, Li Cheng didn’t insist and said, “Then Brother Gu, be careful. I’ll begin.”

Eleven batches of materials remained. Li Cheng didn’t dare to be negligent; he could only refine them one batch at a time.

Moreover, although the King-grade Half-God Pill he had just refined was of the finest quality, there was only one pill. Li Cheng wanted to refine them batch by batch to identify the reason for this outcome.

This time, the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod fully withstood the might of the flames within the Fire Mysterious Realm, making Li Cheng’s refining process even smoother.

Soon after, the pill was formed. There wasn’t much difference from the previous one; it was still a finest-quality King-grade Half-God Pill.

Gu Sanqiu firmly suppressed the Half-God Pill until it calmed down, then said, “Younger Brother, I find I have still underestimated you. Your first attempt and it’s a finest-quality one; is that your lower limit?”

Li Cheng looked at Gu Sanqiu with suspicion and asked, “Brother Gu, when I refine pills, I usually produce twelve pills from one batch of materials. But why is it that now, when I refine this Half-God Pill, there is only one? I’ve refined two batches and still haven’t found the reason.”

Gu Sanqiu, preoccupied with observing and getting excited, had not considered this question at all. After all, in his eyes, one pill per batch was quite normal.

“Younger Brother, what is the range of properties and compatibility for these adjuvant herbs? When you were refining, did you notice the changes in the liquid medicine after adding the Divine Blood?”

“What I mean is, could you add more Divine Blood?”

Gu Sanqiu’s words were a revelation for Li Cheng. He had worried that too much Divine Blood would be unrefinable, so he had only added a single drop.

But now that the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod could fully withstand such fierce flames, he could indeed consider adding several more drops.

The only concern was whether the additional Divine Blood would disrupt the compatibility of the liquid medicine.

After pondering for a moment, a bright light grew in Li Cheng’s eyes. The compatibility of any pill was not a fixed value but instead had a fixed range. As long as it fell within this range, the pill would be created.

Having refined twice, Li Cheng found that the compatibility range of these adjuvant herbs was relatively broad, meaning it was indeed possible to add more Divine Blood.

As for exactly how much more could be added, that would have to be determined through practice!

Li Cheng estimated adding around ten drops should pose no problem.

“Thankyou for the reminder, Brother Gu. Let’s do it again!”

For the third batch, Li Cheng directly added ten drops of Divine Blood. With the excess Divine Blood, the melting process was more difficult, but it was just a matter of time.

After spending twice the time, ten King-grade Half-God Pills were produced!

Gu Sanqiu had to exert almost all his strength to suppress these pills that scattered as soon as they were created, yet his expression was extremely excited, “Younger Brother, you really are a monster. We’ve struck it rich!”

Li Cheng pondered once more before saying, “That senior who created this pill recipe reserved a larger range of compatibility to enable the successful refinement of pills from various Divine Corpses. However, this approach results in the waste of most Immortal Elixirs.”

“Say, Younger Brother, in front of the Half-God Pills, do the Immortal Elixirs truly count as a waste?” Gu Sanqiu laughed and said.

Li Cheng was taken aback for a moment but then nodded and laughed, “Indeed, I’ve already figured it out. With this Divine Corpse for refining, the limit is twelve drops of Divine Blood!”

Each Divine Corpse contains different amounts of power, so how much Divine Blood or parts of the Divine Corpse the pill recipe can bear depends on the corpse itself.

From this perspective, the creator of this pill recipe was truly a brilliant talent.

The fourth furnace, Li Cheng used twelve drops of Divine Blood, and indeed, twelve King-grade Half-God Pills were produced, among which there was one King-grade Half-God Pill!

For the next eight furnaces, it was the same!

Not a single furnace failed, apart from the first three which were considered tests and only produced twelve pills, the nine furnaces that followed all yielded eleven top-quality and one King-grade pill each.

“These Half-God Pills can enhance cultivation and longevity, but it’s uncertain by how much. Young brother, why don’t you give it a try?” Gu Sanqiu said expectantly.

His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Perfect Immortal Emperor Realm, so taking more pills would be a waste since his Immortal Infant could no longer accommodate more Immortal Yuan unless he could break through to a higher realm.

So he could only let Li Cheng try.

Li Cheng was speechless, he was asked to refine pills, and now to test them as well?

However, with his current early-stage Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, taking a King-grade pill would definitely elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, while taking a top-quality one would probably only raise it to the late-phase or peak.

As for the added longevity, that would have to be determined after ingestion.

“Refining this Half-God Pill will take at least several decades or nearly a hundred years; by the time I’m done, our Ancestor Master will probably be long gone…” Li Cheng said somberly.

Gu Sanqiu raised an eyebrow, “Right, hurry up, let’s head to the Southern Domain immediately!”

Without further discussion, Gu Sanqiu dragged Li Cheng out of the Pill Immortal Tower, not forgetting to bring Bai Xian and Billion with them.

Soon, the four of them crossed most of the Central Continent using the Cross­domain Teleportation Array and arrived in front of a space wormhole.

Li Cheng did not care much, as his next plan was to comprehend the Rule of Fire. After all, with the Fire Mysterious Realm within him, it was easier for Li Cheng to understand the Rule of Fire than other Laws.

Moreover, it was more time-efficient within the Seven Mystery Tower.

This time, without the assistance of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, it took the four of them a full day to reach the Southern Domain on a Space-Breaking Shuttle before they returned to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect was as bustling as ever, especially after the crisis had been resolved and the news had spread, even more, strong figures sought to join the sect.

The Immortal Infants who had retained consciousness were all suppressed within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, while those without consciousness naturally became nourishment for Immortal Elixirs.

These days, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had been refining Soul Pills, but the recovery of the soul was a long-term process, and he was still far from regaining his peak condition.

“Tianji Zi is at the mountain summit, dear brother, come quickly!”

After a slight sensing, Gu Sanqiu shifted his gaze towards the summit of Eighteenth Peak.

There, Tianji Zi stood firm and slightly stooped, gazing at the starry sky.

Leaving Bai Xian and Billion behind, Gu Sanqiu pulled Li Cheng to Tianji Zi’s side.

“Ancestor Master!” Li Cheng greeted respectfully.

Tianji Zi slowly turned around, his eyes filled with kindness and gentleness, “I can see that the future of Heavenly Mechanism Sect is very bright, which is indeed gratifying.”

“Are you out of your mind? Again you spy into the secrets of destiny, do you think the mere hundred years of life you have left is too long?” Gu Sanqiu rebuked irritably.

Tianji Zi smiled, “One’s death is inevitable, even for immortals. Now that I have no more concerns or worries, what difference does it make if it’s a few years earlier or later?”

Gu Sanqiu’s mouth twitched as he pulled out a jade bottle and tossed it to Tianji Zi, “Then you’re going to be disappointed, you can’t die yet. If a spiritual leader of a sect were to die, do you think what you foresaw with your Heaven Secret Technique would still happen?”

Upon opening the jade bottle, Tianji Zi’s eyebrows lifted as he looked at Gu Sanqiu in astonishment.

Gu Sanqiu scoffed disdainfully, teasing, “What’s the matter? Didn’t foresee this when you were spying on the heavens?”
