Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1125: Chapter 761: Le Ping Pill Solution

Experiencing this peculiar feeling, Yang Zhenshan withdrew his gaze and turned to leave the study.

”How is it? Can you cultivate?” Yu Qingyi had been waiting outside the study the whole time.

Actually, she was also curious about what cultivating immortality was like. Of course, she was also worried whether Yang Zhenshan would encounter any trouble in his cultivation.

”Haha, I can cultivate.” Yang Zhenshan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and laughed heartily.

Yu Qingyi’s eyes suddenly brightened, shining like stars, ”What changes occurred after cultivating?”

Yang Zhenshan led her to sit on the Rohan bed in the inner chamber and recounted the matters of the spiritual aperture and divine sense.

After listening, Yu Qingyi said with some disappointment, ”It seems like I really can’t cultivate!”

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment and said, ”Not necessarily. When Martial Artists reach the Martial God Realm, they also need to cultivate the Primordial Spirit. Maybe by then, you can switch to cultivating the Immortal Path!”

This was his speculation, but there was a high chance that this speculation was incorrect.

Because there were many strong practitioners at the Martial God Realm in the Sea of Spirit, but none of them cultivated the Immortal Path.

The three major sects have owned the Ancient Relic Array for over a thousand years, and they surely lack no Immortal Dao Skills, yet they’ve not cultivated the Immortal Path. This is enough to show that once cultivation reaches the Martial God Realm, it should be impossible to switch to cultivating the Immortal Path.

”Oh well, I’ll just cultivate Martial Arts!”

Yu Qingyi only felt disappointed for a brief moment before regaining her calm.

Actually, there was nothing to be disappointed about. Compared to the past, what they have achieved now far exceeds their former expectations.

They once merely hoped to gain the Golden Body Skill that could be cultivated to the Martial God Realm, and now they already possess twenty cultivation techniques that can be cultivated to the Martial Immortal Realm. Even without the Cultivation Method of the Immortal Path, it has still far surpassed their initial expectations.

With these cultivation techniques, in due time, the Spirit Source Land is bound to witness strong practitioners of Martial God Level, and even Martial Immortal Realm.

...

At the Alchemy Workshop, beside the Pill Furnace.

Wang Mingzhe looked at the ashes taken from the pill furnace, his face wrinkled like a piece of burlap.

”Failed again!”

”Why did it fail? It’s clearly the simplest of the Fasting Pills!”

He murmured to himself in frustration.

Yang Chengyu held a bamboo slip and scrutinized it, ”Martial Uncle, did we make a mistake somewhere?”

The bamboo slip in his hand was one of the many Yang Zhenshan obtained from the Ancient Relic Array. The bamboo slips Yang Zhenshan acquired about alchemy were over thirty volumes, even more numerous than the array techniques.

Among these alchemy bamboo slips not only were many Immortal Path alchemy techniques recorded, but also seven elixir recipes.

The most important was a bamboo slip named ”Le Ping Pill Solution”. This Pill Book did not record profound alchemy techniques but rather the insights and understandings of an ancient cultivator named Le Ping during his study of alchemy, which were quite foundational things.

Currently, Wang Mingzhe and Yang Chengyu were refining the lowest and most common elixir of the Immortal Path, the Fasting Pill, according to the records on the ”Le Ping Pill Solution.”

The elixir recipe for the Fasting Pill was very simple, requiring Spiritual Objects and Spiritual Medicine like Spirit Rice, ginseng, antler, Lingzhi, and a dozen other commonly found ingredients. Its requirements for materials were not high, with ginseng only needing to be over a hundred years old and antler needing merely ordinary antler, with Spirit Rice being the main ingredient.

These medicinal materials were not lacking in the Spirit Source Land, except that antler was relatively scarce, while other materials were abundant and could be acquired in whatever quantity needed.

Back then, Yang Zhenshan sowed seeds all over the mountains, scattering countless seeds of various Treasure Medicines. Over the years, these Treasure Medicines not only continued to grow but also propagated naturally.

One could easily find a mountain rich with matured Treasure Medicines.

Additionally, in these years, the Treasure Hall has also planted many medicinal materials and developed large areas of medicinal fields.

Hence, the current Spirit Source Land lacks nothing in terms of low-grade materials.

High-grade medicinal materials might be scarce, but low-grade ones were definitely in an abundance that couldn’t be tallied.

Wang Mingzhe took the ”Le Ping Pill Solution” from Yang Chengyu’s hand and studied it meticulously once more.

During this time, he had been constantly researching these Pill Books with Yang Chengyu. Through their research, their understanding of runes and the Alchemy Dao had grown increasingly profound, yet they were still unable to refine even the simplest of the elixirs, the Fasting Pill.

Logically speaking, this Fasting Pill should have been easy to refine. In the ”Le Ping Pill Solution,” it was merely an unranked pill, a type used by beginner apprentices for practice and learning.

And presently, Wang Mingzhe is, in every sense, a true Alchemist, already capable of refining four types of Low-grade Spirit Pills. With his ability, he should be able to refine the Fasting Pill.

Just as the two of them were puzzled over the recent failure, Yang Zhenshan strode into the Alchemy Room.

”Ahem!”

Yang Zhenshan lightly coughed, waking the two immersed in the Pill Books.

”Master!”

”Grandfather!”

Upon seeing Yang Zhenshan arrive, both immediately saluted with a bow.

”Hmm, how is your research on alchemy going lately?” Yang Zhenshan inquired.

Elixirs are an indispensable resource not only for Martial Cultivators but also for Immortal Cultivators.

In fact, Immortal Cultivators are even more dependent on elixirs than Martial Cultivators.

Yang Zhenshan had been cultivating the ”Qingmu Longevity Scripture” for more than half a month and increasingly felt that his progress was slow.

It wasn’t that his cultivation speed was slow; rather, compared to Martial Arts, his speed of cultivating the Immortal Path seemed incredibly slow.

The reason for this disparity was, firstly, that Mana operation needed to go through spiritual apertures, and cultivating one Grand Circulation took nearly as much time as when he used to cultivate two Grand Circulations.

Secondly, the Breathing and Energy Introduction Skill absorbed a more refined Spiritual Power, which was both good and bad. The more refined the Spiritual Power absorbed, the better, naturally. However, if the Spiritual Power was too pure, it would mean his absorption speed would become slow.
