NOVEL NEXT Chapter 568 A tense situation
Creating a ninth-grade elixir recipe is something that most alchemists throughout history would never dare to even think about.
Even creating one's own pill recipe is quite difficult for many people.
Although there is an unwritten rule in the alchemy world that every alchemist must have his own prescription when communicating with each other, otherwise the communication will be a bit awkward.
But most of them are not even pills, but rather low-grade medicinal powders.
Just like the first prescription Xiao Yan prepared himself—a powdered aphrodisiac that wasn’t even a finished pill.
If everyone could create their own pill recipe, based on the number of alchemists throughout history, the number of pill recipes created would probably be no less than tens of millions.
But in fact, including those elixir recipes that have not been passed down, the total number of elixir recipes from ancient times to the present is probably unlikely to exceed 100,000.
It can be seen that it is extremely difficult for an alchemist to create his own pill formula.
Most people inherit the wisdom of their predecessors and make medicine step by step according to the recipes passed down from generation to generation.
A small number of people are able to make improvements or changes to the original recipe and create derivative works.
Only a very small number of people can create their own elixir recipes. It takes several years for Yao Lao to develop the foundation-building elixir.
To create a new type of elixir, one not only needs extensive knowledge of alchemy skills, but also a large amount of medicinal resources.
What is more important is to have the perseverance to refine it over and over again.
This does not even include the frequent incidents of cauldron explosion and pill destruction during the research and development process, which may even cause backlash.
High-level elixirs are scarce precisely because the cost of trial and error is extremely high.
Often, the creation of a high-level pill recipe requires several generations of alchemists to perfect it and finally create it.
And above the eighth-grade elixir, there is an even greater threshold.
Even in the heyday of alchemists in ancient times, alchemists who reached the spiritual realm were not everywhere and were relatively rare.
The scarcity of alchemists and the extremely difficult conditions for creating them have resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of high-level elixir recipes starting from the eighth-grade elixir.
Xiao Ze is currently planning to try to create a ninth-grade elixir with the help of his "ancient wisdom" talent.
The "ancient wisdom" had very little effect on improving Xiao Ze's own fighting spirit realm, or even no effect at all.
However, Xiao Ze's improvement in comprehension, aptitude, etc. is unparalleled.
In other words, this talent is focused on improving these aspects.
Xiao Ze sorted out the Nine Hunyuan Pills again, a little light appeared in his eyes, and a lot of inspiration flashed in his mind.
His vast accumulation of alchemy skills in the past laid a solid foundation for him to create the ninth-grade elixir.
With the flash of "ancient wisdom", he continued to contribute to the creation of the ninth-grade elixir.
As time goes by, it is not impossible to build this magnificent building called Jiupin Baodan.
After half a day, Xiao Ze took a deep breath, and the light that kept flickering in his eyes slowly faded.
"What a powerful talent. If the ancient Bodhi tree's intelligence had not been incomplete, I'm afraid that with this talent, it would have made it the most almighty being throughout history."
"Based on my previous progress in creating the ninth-grade precious pill, it would conservatively take several decades."
"Later, I used the recipe of the Holy Heart Glazed Pill from the Hundred-fold Feedback as a reference, and the speed increased a little. It will be created within about ten years."
"But now with the blessing of ancient wisdom... one year! I can definitely create it within one year."
Xiao Ze said to himself in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
The blessing of ancient wisdom is truly terrifying!
After personally experiencing the power of ancient wisdom, Xiao Ze felt that this trip to the ancient wilderness was absolutely the right choice!
Otherwise, you will miss this extremely rare dark gold talent.
When the warship reached the edge of the central region of Zhongzhou, Xun'er came to the bow and said goodbye to Xiao Ze with reluctance on her face.
"Brother Xiao Ze, I learned from my clan that the situation on the continent is becoming more and more turbulent. Even if we form the Alchemy Alliance, we must be extremely careful."
"Xun'er, I'm sorry, the promise I made to you..."
Before Xiao Ze could finish his words, Xun'er's slender fingers gently pressed against his lips.
"Brother Xiao Ze, Xun'er doesn't care about these. As long as Brother Xiao Ze has me in his heart, it's fine. When the situation eases a little, we can choose an auspicious day... Xun'er will wait for Brother Xiao Ze."
At the end of the conversation, Xun'er's cheeks turned slightly red. Xiao Ze reached out and held Xun'er in his arms, and did not separate for a long time.
Watching Xun'er lead the ancient clan members back to the Eastern Region.
Only when Xun'er's figure disappeared did Xiao Ze wave his hand, and the warship cut through the void and headed towards Danta.
After entering the Central Region of Zhongzhou, Xiao Ze's brows furrowed slightly. In his perception, the aura of the Soul Palace became much more active.
He even sensed that some people from the Soul Palace were hunting Danta's alchemists, and Xiao Ze suppressed them without hesitation.
However, such blatant actions still made Xiao Ze feel a little more suspicious.
It was not until Xiao Ze returned to Danta that he learned about the sudden change in the situation through Xuan Kongzi's introduction.
"During the time you were in the Savage Ancient Territory, the situation on the continent was changing rapidly."
"The most important turning point should be when the Northwest Continent once again endures the attack from the Soul Palace, and this time it is the Dan League that stops it."
"Although many people from the Soul Palace were killed, some of them eventually escaped."
"The intervention of the Alchemy Alliance should have also made the Soul Palace realize that the last time the Soul Palace's operation in the Northwest Continent was frustrated was related to the Alchemy Alliance."
"So the Soul Palace began to target the Dan League more and more, and also formed an alliance with several top forces in Zhongzhou, calling themselves the Soul Alliance."
"We started to confront the Dan League head-on, and conflicts became more frequent. They were even common in the Central Region of Zhongzhou."
After listening to Xuan Kongzi's introduction, Xiao Ze rubbed his eyebrows in distress, and then spoke to Xuan Kongzi and other alliance leaders with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry, if it weren't for the Xiao family, we might be able to delay the development of the Dan League for a while."
"Haha, there's no need to say such things. Sooner or later, we will have to confront the Soul Palace. The reason we didn't challenge the Soul Palace before was simply because we were afraid of its power."
Patriarch Huoyun laughed, waved his hand and said indifferently.
After all, he is not a short-sighted person. According to the style of the Soul Palace, if he kills one person today and extracts his soul, he will kill ten people tomorrow!
If they give in step by step, by the time they finally want to resist, they may not be able to fight against the Soul Palace.
"If we unite now, we may not be much worse than the Soul Palace!"
The leaders of the many forces present nodded slightly. Being able to reach their level, many principles can be understood at a glance.
The Xiao family incident was just a fuse, not the root cause.
Even if the Xiao family incident had not happened, facing the Soul Palace's increasingly rampant soul hunting activities, the Dan League would have to fight back!
