The oracle bone script was an ancient tool used by the ancestors of the Huaxia people on Earth to record something into tortoise plastrons and dragon bones. They took on the form of different objects and were said to have the ability to communicate with the heavens, having profound secrets. However, it was lost in history and its powers also disappeared.

Even though human archaeologists had unearthed the oracle bone script once again, they had already lost the means of using it and thus it ended up remaining only as a mysterious ancient script.

This ancient medicine recipe was clearly inscribed onto a large slab of human-sized upper thigh bone via the oracle bone script. What kind of creature was it when it was still alive?

The pill recipe was ancient and far surpa.s.sed the historical records.

The ident.i.ty microchip had already translated the oracle bone script, displaying the ancient medicine recipe that was named the ‘Dustfall Immortal Pill’.

Based on the doc.u.mentation, the human body was initially a xiantian body without any impurities and only formed from the purest blood and qi. However, once they landed on the ground, they were tainted by posterior auras in the mortal world, tainted by the endless dust and dirt.

The effect of this Dustfall Immortal Pill was to cleanse all impurities in the human body, returning it to the initial state of pure blood and qi.

Could one’s xiantian body be like that of a baby’s?

The path to great dao was extremely profound and mysterious.

This was where the Dustfall Immortal Pill’s profoundness lay.

What was an immortal pill?

According to the legacy Feng Lin had obtained from the Furnace Immortal Sect, there were generally three types of alchemy pills, namely the spiritual pill, immortal pill, and the divine pill…

The spiritual pills were the lowest-tiered alchemy pills that possessed spiritual qualities from the moment they were refined from the furnace. Depending on how much impurities they possessed and their medicinal effects, they were further distinguished into top-grade, mid-grade, low-grade, as well as the flawless and perfect supreme-grade and transcendent-grade.

The divine pill was far too distant to be reached and there wasn’t a need to speak too much about it.

And immortal pills weren’t pills that could allow one to become immortals the moment they took them. After taking them, it would point the people onto the path of immortality with the hopes of becoming immortals.

Once the Dustfall Immortal Pill was to be consumed, it could allow one to regain their innate bodies, undergoing a complete transformation and achieving the dao body, immortal bones. Their cultivation speed would become extremely fast and extremely efficient. The immortal pill was true to its name.

Even if Feng Lin wasn’t able to complete the mission, he wouldn’t lose out since he had obtained the Dustfall Immortal Pill’s recipe.

Feng Lin then noticed a strange scene. The huge bone in which the ancient pill recipe was inscribed on seemed to be sunken deep into the ground and only a very small part of it was exposed.

The surrounding environment was extremely dark, and it was an ancient primitive scene before the universe was formed.

It seemed that this Zhao Yue`e had really found the relic of a certain myth or legend!

This scene ascertained his earlier a.s.sessment.

“How is it? Feng Lin, are you able to replicate the ancient medicine recipe?” Zhao Yue`e asked.

“The method of concocting this ancient medicine is very similar to my Crystallized Medicine Creation. I can give it a try!” Feng Lin didn’t give an absolute reply.

In fact, his Crystallized Medicine Creation was a simplified form of alchemy. It wasn’t wrong for him to say this.

Zhao Yue`e and the others didn’t think too much about his reply.

If it was so easy to replicate such deep and profound ancient alchemy, it would be too fake!

If Feng Lin dared to a.s.sure them that he’d be able to replicate the pill, they would probably suspect him.

The way he said things made him even more trustworthy.

“No matter how things turn out, I’ll be troubling you on this!” Zhao Yue`e said to Feng Lin with a slightly pleading tone.

Feng Lin smiled and nodded. “This Dustfall Immortal Pill requires a lot of rare ingredients. I don’t have them with me and will need you guys to provide me with them!”

“That’s a matter of course!” Zhao Yue`e nodded toward Iron Pillar.

The muscular black-haired young man quickly brought out a safe deposit box and opened it up. A pile of rare materials that had been processed using various means was placed within it. There were the Shooting Star Gra.s.s, Unwithered Epiphyllum, Horned Serpent Sinew, etc…

“There are ten sets of materials here. According to Senior Zhao’s wishes, we’ll be giving you ten sets of them instead of the three that we agreed on previously. There won’t be any more of them after they are used up. So please use them carefully and please also guarantee the secret of the ancient pill recipe! This is also written in the contract. Otherwise, if you were to freely reveal the ancient pill recipe, we have the right to charge you in the school’s court and ask for compensation that’s three times or more!” Iron Pillar instructed seriously with an implied warning.

“Of course I know that. Don’t worry, since I’ve accepted the mission, I’ll maintain my integrity in this!” They were putting things straight; thus, Feng Lin didn’t feel that he was offended. He received the materials and said, “The medicine refinement process that’ll be taking place involves my secret skill. Thus, it’s not suitable for outsiders to watch! Three days later, regardless of the success, I’ll give you guys a reply!”

After saying this, he nodded toward Zhao Yue`e and the others and turned to leave.

Zhao Yue`e felt that this was only right.

The medicine refinement technique was the Medicinal Refinement Masters’ absolute secrets. They couldn’t display such skills in public.

Seeing Feng Lin leaving, Iron Pillar asked in a deep voice, “Senior, is this fine? The Dustfall Immortal Pill’s ingredients are extremely rare. Isn’t the price too big to be giving out ten sets of it at once? We’ve only gathered so much of it. We shouldn’t be placing all of our eggs in one basket!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve my own ideas on this! I’ve seen the initial form of alchemy in his Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique. This Feng Lin probably has already found an inspiration to replicate ancient alchemy from the refinement process of gene potions! If he can’t do it, other people probably can’t either! Since that’s the case, then we can only place all of our bets on him and choose to believe him!”

Hearing this, Iron Pillar scoffed helplessly, “Senior, you place your trust in others too easily!”

His gaze turned to Feng Lin’s departing figure and he thought, “Feng Lin, you better not let down the trust that Senior Zhao has placed on you!”

…

In fact, no matter whether other people trusted him or not, Feng Lin was prepared to place all his efforts into refining this Dustfall Immortal Pill. He wasn’t intending on making any shabby efforts into this.

A person should try their best to do what others had entrusted to him.

On a deeper level, Feng Lin hoped to take this opportunity to link up with Zhao Yue`e and the others so that he could explore the mythological secret realm.

The Great Wall University had deep backgrounds and numerous experts.

Right now, his battle prowess as an elite cultivator was far from sufficient.

If a cultivator wished to improve tremendously within a short period, the easiest way out was to seek for fortunate encounters.

Exploring the mythological secret realms was the greatest fortunate encounter. Those ancient alchemy pills and treasures… Even getting just one of them would be extremely beneficial.

Feng Lin returned to his residence, sat cross-legged on the floor, and started to recover the depleted energy from earlier.

Only after he had fully recovered did he start to move rapidly. He first memorized the Dustfall Immortal Pill’s recipe and then kept on visualizing the steps repeatedly. It was until he made no mistakes at all did he start to get to it for real.

Boom!

The furnace became bigger in his palm and then landed on the ground. Feng Lin started the flames and the temperature rose rapidly.

Shooting Star Gra.s.s, Unwithered Epiphyllum, Horned Serpent Sinew…

Mysterious medicinal gra.s.s that glistened in starlight, flowers that were resplendent as gold, translucent sinew that was as st.u.r.dy as metal…

The first three medicinal ingredients were added in one go, and the burning flames instantly roasted them into a gel-like consistency.

Feng Lin brought out a set of medicinal ingredients and started the refining process, devoting all of his attention to it. He carefully sensed every bit of the finest changes and controlled them with great care, wanting to bring out the medicinal prowess to the greatest level.

Spirit Jade Powder, One-element Frigid Water, Ten-thousand Year Root…

Seeing that it was about ready, he continued the tempering process and added more ingredients.

The flames in the furnace kept on burning, and three pools of medicinal liquid condensed and floated in the air, gradually combining into one.

However, for some reason, whenever they got close, there would always be a ma.s.sive repelling force, making it hard for the three to combine.

Even if an external force was applied to press them together, they would still appear incongruous, showing no signs of letting the medicinal effects combine together.

Feng Lin kept on increasing the flames but it was still useless. In the end, the medicinal liquid evaporated completely in the flames, turning into smoke and dissipating.

He was baffled and it was only after so much thought did he manage to gain some comprehension.

This was because…

Alchemy pills couldn’t be refined by ordinary flames!
