The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Return to Alchemy Tower (Asking for Subscription)_1

It had only been two months since Shen Mo’s last breakthrough in the Qi Gathering Realm.

This cultivation speed among the inner disciples was considered quite fast.

However, it still can’t compare to the real geniuses...

Shen Mo was not complacent about this.

Because his goal had never been those low-level cultivators, but to compete with those like Lu Ming and Xiao Ling’er of the Profound Moon Sect, who possessed Spiritual Bodies.

Their cultivation speed would not be slower than Shen Mo’s.

In fact, within two days of Lu Ming’s return from the Mountain River Realm, he had broken through to Layer II of the Qi Gathering Realm.

Through the Sound Transmission Talisman, Shen Mo learned that Lu Ming had recently gained quite a lot from going on missions with his senior brothers from his peak.

It would probably not be long before he could enter Layer III of the Qi Gathering Realm.

Shen Mo could not be satisfied with this speed of cultivation if he wanted to catch up with such geniuses. After all, he could hardly be called a teenager anymore!

There are five months until the Tianshan Grand Ceremony. If there is a chance, I would also like to try for it.

Although previously, when Shen Mo learned from the Peak Master that he and Lu Ming had both been arranged to participate in this Tianshan Grand Ceremony—a battle between the newly promoted disciples of the Five Great Sects—he did not have much ambition.

However, if there was a chance to shine and become famous, why would Shen Mo not want to seize it?

At this moment, although his expectations were low, he still vaguely had some aspirations.

Even if I can’t overpower all the geniuses from the Five Great Sects in the Tianshan Grand Ceremony, at the very least, I mustn’t end up at the bottom, serving as a mere foil for them.

Otherwise, I would not only fail to live up to the title of transmigrator but also the Adventure granted by the Destiny Panel.

After consolidating his cultivation in the cave mansion, Shen Mo descended the mountain at night.

The direction he flew on his sword was towards the Alchemy Zone.

The Qi Coalescing Pill and Soul Nurturing Pill have both been cultivated to the Elite level of mastery; it is time to go and break the records!

At night, the Alchemy Zone was still bustling with people and brightly lit.

In the central square, many alchemists were exchanging alchemy experiences, and some were setting up roadside stalls to sell alchemy materials.

The area around the Alchemy Tower, however, was relatively deserted.

After reaching the Alchemy Tower, he didn’t join the crowd in the central square. Noticing no one was paying attention, he directly pushed open the Taichi stone gate of the Alchemy Tower.

The first floor.

The second floor.

The third floor.

The fourth floor!

Both the Qi Coalescing Pill and the Soul Nurturing Pill were Grade II Elixirs, so they were not listed on the light screens of the lower floors.

He made his way to the fourth floor, where he finally found the light screen records for these two Elixirs.

Let’s get started!

Taking a deep breath, he set up the cauldron on the fourth floor, then lit the charcoal fire and began to heat the cauldron for alchemy.

With his previous experience, he was already quite adept at the alchemy assessment.

[Qi Coalescing Pill: Grade II]

[Record holder: Zhao Lingyin]

[Description: Alchemy consumed three Shichen; the Elixir was of supreme quality.]

[Soul Nurturing Pill: Grade II]

[Record holder: Zhao Lingyin]

[Description: Alchemy consumed three Shichen; the Elixir was of supreme quality.]

The records for the two types of Elixirs Shen Mo wished to break were both held by Zhao Lingyin, who was hailed as the number one genius of the Alchemy Zone.

She has so many records anyway; I doubt she’d even notice if I broke a few more.

However, Shen Mo didn’t know that after he had broken her four basic Elixir records last time, Zhao Lingyin had lost sleep for a long time.

She was obsessed with finding Shen Mo and demanding to know how he managed to refine supreme-quality Elixirs at such a fast speed.

Thousand-year Polygonum Multiflorum.

Frozen Blood Lotus.

Nine Leaves Crystal Root.

...

Lava Earth Fruit...

He had already prepared the spiritual medicines needed to refine the Soul Nurturing Pill.

Once the cauldron glowed red and the temperature was appropriate, he put all these spiritual medicines into it.

One Shichen later, when all the spiritual medicines had turned into medicinal liquid, Shen Mo used a special alchemy technique to remove all the black impurities from the liquid.

He kept only the essence and carefully placed it in a medicine box.

Afterward, he began to place the medicinal liquids one by one into the cauldron to smelt, condense, shape, and perform spirit enlightenment.

DING!

The hand seals he formed were constantly changing, and vibrant green wood attribute light glowed around him.

Eventually, following the seals, he injected it into the cauldron to help solidify the Spiritual Qi of the Soul Nurturing Pill that was about to be completed.

This was the Ascending Alchemy Method, the reward he had received from the Tower Spirit last time.

After a period of practice, Shen Mo had fully mastered it.

This method not only sped up pill formation but also ensured that the finished Elixir retained its Spiritual Qi and had a better quality.

PHEW!

When Shen Mo executed the final hand seal, he let out a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, the cauldron trembled slightly.

A dark azure Elixir, rich in fragrance and brimming with vitality, slowly rose from the bottom of the cauldron.

The Soul Nurturing Pill is complete, and its quality is excellent!

Holding the successfully refined Soul Nurturing Pill, Shen Mo quickly looked towards the Alchemy Tower’s light screen that recorded the Elixir assessment trials.

WHOOSH!

Indeed, after Shen Mo finished refining the Soul Nurturing Pill, the original Soul Nurturing Pill assessment record was instantly erased.

In its place, brand-new information appeared.

[Soul Nurturing Pill: Grade II]

[Record holder: Mo Shen]

[Description: Alchemy consumed two Shichen; the Elixir is of supreme quality.]

The quality was the same, but Shen Mo’s alchemy speed was a full Shichen faster than hers.

BUZZ!

When the record update was complete, the Tower Spirit quickly sent out a streak of light.

Shen Mo reached out and caught it. As the divine light receded, the reward was revealed: a jade slip.

[Demon Suppressing Pill: Grade II]

Recorded in this jade slip was a Grade II Elixir recipe.

Its effect was to suppress Heart Demons and karmic obstacles, allowing Qi Gathering Realm cultivators, when practicing magic or martial arts and facing a breakthrough, to not fear the invasion of Heart Demons.

This Elixir, greatly sought after by cultivators in the Qi Gathering Realm, was considered one of the staple Elixirs.

An indispensable Elixir for breakthrough stages in practicing magic and cultivation methods.

However, for Shen Mo, its use was not that great.

My magic, martial arts, and cultivation methods only need their experience bars to be full to level up.

Usually, the first four levels don’t require profound comprehension, so there’s no need for this kind of Elixir that subdues Heart Demons to assist.

Novice Practice, Senior, Junior, and Senior. In the Destiny Panel, these four levels for cultivation methods and magic corresponded respectively to the cultivation world’s conventionally accepted stages: Entry Level, Senior, Senior, and Perfection.

Unless one was a genius with an exceptional Spiritual Body.

Otherwise, ordinary cultivators needed to spend a long time in meticulous practice for each threshold, seizing any opportunity that might arise, to possibly advance their magic to the next stage.

But Shen Mo didn’t have this worry. The scenarios where he would need to slowly comprehend breakthroughs were for reaching the three major stages of Elite, Master, and Epic.

And these three major stages were cultivation method Realms that ordinary cultivators could almost never touch.

They belonged to a high-class state that was rare and highly coveted.

This was one area where Shen Mo had an advantage over normal cultivators in practicing cultivation methods and magic.

In the future, when I refine this kind of Elixir, it will mainly be for selling. The price should be considerably higher.

However, if my cultivation methods and magic reach the Senior stage and I still need to improve, I can keep a few in the Universe Bag as a reserve.

Putting away the jade slip, Shen Mo quickly began again, attempting to refine the Qi Coalescing Pill and break its record.
