Chapter 369 - Saint Alchemist (III)

After closing his eyes, w.a.n.g Wei connected his Divine Sense with the pill. Using the engraved runes, he began to feel the power of law and guide them.

According to years of studying, cultivators have concluded that divine runes are a physical manifestation of the rules of Heaven and Earth, of the law. Normally, Law is invisible, unnoticeable, unreal, and indescribable.

However, through divine runes, the Law can become a physical and observable concept.

If w.a.n.g Wei was in the Void Shattered Realm, he could control his Law to resonate with the Law of Heaven and Earth, then guide such law to fuse with the divine runes in the pill to facilitate its final transformation.

Now, he has to use his senses, intuition, and skills to do so. Even if he was in the Primordial Spirit, this process would be a lot easier as he could actually see the law.

But now, he had to rely on his "senses." Luckily, he had practiced in the past 200 years.

So, with his Divine Sense, he felt which runes resonated with which law, then based on the intensity of the resonance, he would guide them to fuse. The process took a few days, and by the end, he not only became pale, but very thin.

This was a sign of not only an overdraft of spiritual power but also his origin essence.

Nevertheless, he still succeeded after swallowing pills like they were grains of rice. The moment he finished, a mysterious light emanated from the pill showing its extraordinary nature.

All the judges waited with bated breath as they waited for the final stage of this test: PIll Tribulation. All of them showed antic.i.p.ation on their facesof course, Fu Caiyun was the exception.

His face looked extremely calm and even indifferent. The only thing that showed his true emotion is his clenched hands under his robe.

In his generation, he was the only one who became a Saint Alchemist while in the Divine Body Stage. At that time, he was also in a bad state like the current Lou Chengalbeit not bad.

This was because he had a more powerful soul than the latter and had more spiritual power to use. Unfortunately, this fact did not make him happy. With this mediocre soul, Lou Cheng was able to achieve the same accomplishment as him, this can only show that his talent might be even better.

When it comes to the deficiency of the soul, as an Emperor Lineage, the Origin PIll Dao Sect has many ways to make it up for Lou Cheng. Thinking of this, a deep killing intent flashed deep inside Fu Caiyun's mind.

'This Lou Cheng has to go,' he tough to himself, however, his face still remain cold and indifferent; even his killing intent did not show.

Talent Alchemists in this world have a high status for a very specific reason: Immortal Pill.

The limit of all Alchemists is Tier 6 Quasi-Alchemist. Emperor Pills involved the power of Grand Dao Source, and unfortunately, only Great Emperors and Dao Venerables can have access to such power.

Because Great Emperors can directly control Grand Dao Source while Dao Venerables can only borrow the power, the pills that they make are divided into Emperor Pills and Dao Pills.

The problem with these two pills is the fact that not all Great Emperors or Dao Venerables can refine them. If they are not alchemists or do not have Alchemy Talent, the pill they refined can be best described as Pseudo-Emperor Pill.

Over the years, cultivators have come up with a way to deal with such situations. As long as an Alchemist can refine a perfect quality Quasi-Emperor PIll, then as long as a Great Emperor or Venerable baptized the pill with the Grand Dao Source, the pill can evolve into an Emperor or Dao Pill.

This discovery should have been a great thing, however, it only showed that the world is cruel and unfair. Alchemists all over the world realized that in their entire life, their accomplishment has been determined.

Without becoming an Emperor or relying on one, they could never refine a Tier 7 Pill. This was a sad and devastating truth that destroyed the Dao Heart of many people.

At one time, the majority of Professions like Talisman Makers and the others lost their direction in life. However, one rumor brought hope to these professions.

A talented person from another World Community managed to refine an Immortal Pill while being only a Quasi-Emperor Alchemist. And that person used that pill to become an Immortal Venerable without the help of a Great Emperor.

The cultivator world was shocked by this news and thought that it was a lie. However, the Emperor Lineages with the ability to travel to other World Communities went and verified that this news was true.

So, all the professions went crazy; this was their only chance at controlling their destiny and escaping the control of "Great Emperors". Since then, this has been the goal of all professions: creating Immortal Tier works.

Over the years, the pursuit of these professions had diminished slightly after so many years of trying and not succeeding. Many people even believed that the Emperor Lineages might have lied to motivate the Professionals in the world and repaired their Dao Heart.

Then, in the Middle Emperor Era, a loose cultivator Alchemist in the Myriad Emperor World also succeeded: to be precise, she half-succeeded. She create a pill that managed to draw Immortal Qi from the universe.

Unfortunately, the pill failed the Tribulation and was considered a half-finished product. Nevertheless, after swallowing it, her body developed Immortal Aura, and her lifespan drastically increased.

Not long after, she disappeared from the world. Many people believed that she was a.s.sa.s.sinated by some people who did not want Great Emperors to lose their control of the world by granting people immortality.

Many people also believed that she went to wherever all those Great Emperors disappeared to. It was unfortunate that she did not leave her recipe or any legacy in the world.

However, her success showed the people that their path was possible; they had a way forward. As a result of this, talented professionals like Fu Caiyun have a very high status in the world and are tolerated no matter their terrible flaws.

This is one of the reasons that so many a.s.sociation of Different Professions were created: to develop talent and exchange ideas to cultivate a Tier 7 Immortal Professional.

After w.a.n.g Wei's pill underwent the Law Baptis.e.m.e.nt, it flew straight into the sky. Clouds started gathering on top of the a.s.sociation's Main Branch. The process lasted for more than an hour.

Finally, thunder fell on the pill.

When it comes to Pill Tribulation, cultivators can usually help their pill to survive the process. However, according to the rules of the test, this was not allowed.

This is because tribulation is a test of Heaven and Earth to the pill. The tribulationusually in the form of thunderwill target the flaws of the pill in an attempt to decide its worthiness or capability.

If the pill survived the process, the thunder inside will turn into the power of good fortune and nourish the pill instead; even elevating the quality and effect of the pill.

While everyone was looking at the pill in the sky with antic.i.p.ation, w.a.n.g Wei took this time to heal his current situation. Anyway, there was nothing he could do to helpeven if he wanted to.

According to the rules of the a.s.sociation, the Saint Alchemist Test had 20 attempts at refining their pills. As long as they succeed once, and the quality of the pill is ordinary, then they will pa.s.s the test.

So, a success rate of 5% is needed to become a Saint Alchemist.

A few hours later, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated and a small colorful auspicious cloud appeared around the pill.

"Success," said one of the judges.

Then, 8 of the judges appeared in the sky to look at the pill.

"It's peak Average Quality, can even be called half-step Superior Quality."

This fact surprised the other judges. According to the rules, even if w.a.n.g Wei refined an inferior quality pill, he would still pa.s.s the test because of his lower cultivation realm.

More importantly, these Alchemists could tell that the reason that this pill was not higher in quality was not because of w.a.n.g Wei's refining process, but more to do with the fact that he had to constantly stop during the Rune Engraving Process to replenish his spiritual energy.

While observing this Domain Extension Pillwhich allowed Saints to temporarily extend the range of their domains and increase their fighting abilitiesthey could not help glancing at the rapidly departing Fu Caiyun.

From what they know, Fu Caiyun only refined a Peak Inferior Quality Pill during his generation.

Nevertheless, they did not say anything. Instead, they began to congratulate Sect Master Ye Lao for cultivating such a promising and talented disciple.

As for w.a.n.g Wei, he slightly opened his eyes to check everything before returning to his recuperation.

'The first step is complete.. Let's begin the next soon.'
