Chapter 319 - 143: Three Refining Methods for the Nascent Soul Pill, Breakthrough to 32,000 Life Spans! (8k Combined Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Hua Tian Sect.
Perhaps no one would have imagined that Liang Sheng was currently lounging in a chair, basking leisurely in the sun, completely at ease.
This was the true cultivation lifestyle he should be enjoying. His previous life was either full of fear or fraught with troubles.
Liang Sheng didn’t expect that he didn’t enjoy such a carefree life in the Dan Ding Sect, but now he’s getting it in the Hua Tian Sect, he didn’t know what to say.
Actually, he understood that it was because his mindset was different. Now, with his invincible Golden Core, he’s more carefree than before.
Relaxing days always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed. Over these five years, Liang Sheng’s job at Hua Tian Sect was quite simple.
That was to train Hua Tian Sect disciples in refining pills, and his extraordinary alchemy skills had long won over everyone.
Although Liang Sheng only displayed 20% of his pill-refining capabilities, it was enough to amaze the Hua Tian Sect, which previously wasn’t particularly adept at refining pills.
The initially skeptical upper echelons of Hua Tian Sect changed their views after seeing the rapid progress in alchemy skills among the sect’s disciple alchemists. A thought inevitably crept into their minds.
Perhaps, even if there are no Nascent Soul Masters within the sect in the next hundred years, it would not be a loss. After all, the strength of a sect ultimately relies on its foundation.
As the alchemy skills of disciple alchemists in the sect became increasingly sophisticated, they believed that one day, their sect will continuously produce Golden Core Daoists and countless Foundation Establishment Disciples.
Because there are enough spiritual pills, given the large pool of candidates, there would always be someone who will successfully make a breakthrough.
It has to be said, the Dan Ding Sect is truly a neutral and friendly sect. The number of disciples who joined the sect over the years was the smallest among all sects.
But with their pill refining techniques, would they fear having many disciples? The reason for this is not difficult for anyone to figure out.
Liang Sheng’s dedication to his role naturally made the Hua Tian Sect’s impression of the Dan Ding Sect even better.
Just a few years ago, the Hua Tian Sect even specially gifted over a hundred Four-Pattern Magical Instrument Pill Refining Furnaces, personally delivered to the Dan Ding Sect by the Sect Master of Hua Tian Sect.
He spoke highly of Liang Sheng in front of all high-ranking members of the Dan Ding Sect, making the latter more content with Liang Sheng’s work over this period.
He is indeed a disciple worthy of a Sect Master, carrying the elegance of our Dan Ding Sect.
However, don’t assume that Liang Sheng had spent the last five years pouring out everything without any gains. In fact, he also received quite a lot.
For example, almost all of the pill formulas in the Hua Tian Sect were open to Liang Sheng, a gesture of reciprocation for his contributions to teaching.
Liang Sheng didn’t expect that he would inadvertently obtain the Nascent Soul Pill prescription that he had been persistently desiring, without any planning on his part.
There are actually three types of Nascent Soul Pill formulas circulating in the world, a situation that far exceeded Liang Sheng’s expectations.
But after reading the three formulas, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but sigh. It is indeed extremely difficult to become a Nascent Soul Master.
The first formula is the simplest for a sect to refine a Nascent Soul Pill because it only requires Top-grade Demon King Blood Essence, Mysterious Spirit Root, Heaven and Earth Lotus, and other Top-Grade Spiritual Grass to refine.
For a sect, Top-grade Demon King Blood Essence is hard to come by, but if they look for it on the scale of a hundred years, they can always find it.
However, the growth cycle of a top-graded spiritual grass like Heaven and Earth Lotus is slow, almost maturing once every thousand years, but for a long-established sect, this can be accepted.
Therefore, for the sect, this is indeed the simplest Alchemy recipe they can accept. But Liang Sheng directly ruled it out.
A spiritual grass that matures every thousand years is too slow. It would be difficult for him to get “familiar” with it. The sect would probably value this kind of spiritual grass extremely, so he moved on to the second option for refining pills.
The second option focuses on the Demon Saint Blood Essence and can be combined with spiritual grass that is a notch below the Mysterious Spirit Root and Heaven and Earth Lotus.
The methods to obtain these lesser Top-Grade spiritual grasses are much simpler than the first ones. At least they mature in three to four hundred years, and the sect also gets to see them from time to time.
However, obtaining the Demon Saint’s essence blood is exceedingly difficult. After all, in the Desolate Regions, a beast tide might only erupt every few thousand years when there might be a Demon Saint. However, it’s not guaranteed they’ll appear, and obtaining the Demon Saint’s essence blood is naturally challenging.
But Liang Sheng was overjoyed. Just a Demon Saint’s blood essence. He has a complete Demon Saint corpse stored in his storage ring.
However, Liang Sheng continued to read. The third way of refining pills was what attracted Liang Sheng’s attention, as he saw the two words “Immortal City” again.
Almost all of the alchemy ingredients mentioned are found within the Immortal City, which is nearly cut off from the Desolate Regions. Therefore, the third alchemy method is almost impossible to achieve in the Desolate Regions.
No wonder even the sect alliance has such few Nascent Soul Pills, because it is simply too rare.
Understanding this, it’s easier to comprehend why the sects wouldn’t be willing to reward a Golden Core Daoist with a Nascent Soul Pill unless he has a certain level of assurance or if it’s nearing the end of their lifespan.
Having searched through the inheritance of the seven Great Nascent Soul True Monarchs himself, Liang Sheng obtained only over twenty Nascent Soul Pills. It gives you an idea of how many Nascent Soul Pills the sects have left at present.
Cultivation is tough.
But having realized this, he could finally understand why the Hua Tian Sect would invite him over at such a high price.
The motivation perhaps wasn’t lacking the hope to nurture a top-notch Alchemist who might be able to refine Nascent Soul Pills in the future.
Because having one more Nascent Soul Pill is always a delightful surprise.
After discerning the intentions of the Hua Tian Sect, Liang Sheng felt even more at ease. In addition to his utter satisfaction with his current life, spending a hundred years this way wouldn’t be too bad..
