72: Chapter 72 Your pill formula is so bad even a dog wouldn't use it!

Changge Peak, inside the small courtyard.

Su Changge was lying on a rocking chair, looking completely at ease.

He hadn't asked Chen Xuan to come up because there was anything important to ask; he was simply bored and wanted to find someone to amuse himself with.

After all, this was "emotion points" delivered right to his doorstep.

Soon, Ji Wushuang brought the sullen-faced Chen Xuan into the courtyard.

As soon as Chen Xuan entered the courtyard, he frowned.

Apart from the slightly denser Spiritual Qi, this place looked no different from an ordinary farmhouse courtyard. In the corner, there was even a chicken coop, with a few native chickens clucking and scratching the ground.

The legendary Su Changge was lying lazily on a rocking chair, looking like a wealthy old man who couldn't even truss a chicken.

"Is this the peerless Master who performed One Sword Opens the Heaven?"

Chen Xuan's heart was filled with doubt.

He felt that he had likely been deceived. This so-called Supreme Ancestor was probably just a Puppet pushed out by the joint efforts of the Taixuan Sect and the Yaoguang Holy Land; the true powerhouse was someone else.

Thinking of this, the awe in his heart dissipated a little more, replaced by a trace of anger at being toyed with.

"You are Su Changge?" Chen Xuan's tone carried a hint of scrutiny, and he even omitted the word "Senior".

Su Changge lifted his eyelids to glance at him, amused.

"Yo, quite a temper you have there. Not bad, not bad. The more temper you have, the higher the emotion points will be when you are shocked later."

He nodded, acknowledging him.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Chen Xuan felt even more displeased. He decided to bring out his true skills to test the depth of this guy, and incidentally, regain some face.

"This King has heard that Your Excellency's Daoist techniques are profound and that you are hailed as the Dao Ancestor of the Eastern Wasteland," Chen Xuan said with a forced smile. "This King is untalented, but has some insights into the path of alchemy. Today, I would like to invite Your Excellency to appraise a Pill Formula I have recently developed, which can also be considered a discussion of the Dao with Your Excellency."

After speaking, a confident smile appeared on his face.

Alchemy was the Domain he was most proud of. He did not believe that this seemingly young Su Changge could surpass him in alchemy.

From his Storage Ring, he carefully took out a Jade Slip made of ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow and held it in his hand.

"This Pill Formula is called the 'Nine-Turn Life-Reversing Pill'. It is something I have spent three hundred years of painstaking effort to deduce, combining ancient alchemy scriptures. Once the Medicinal Pill is formed, it can allow a Nascent Soul Cultivator at the brink of death to reverse their vitality and live another life! It is a truly Heaven-Defying Divine Pill!"

Chen Xuan's tone was filled with pride.

This Pill Formula was the masterpiece of his life and the greatest source of confidence for him to call himself the "Alchemy King".

Standing to the side, Ji Wushuang was also shocked to hear the effects of this Medicinal Pill.

Being able to allow a Nascent Soul Cultivator to defy the heavens and change their fate, this Pill Formula could indeed be called a divine object.

However, after listening, Su Changge showed no reaction at all.

He didn't even reach out to take the Jade Slip, but just said lazily: "Read it out and let me hear."

Chen Xuan frowned, but still patiently read the contents of the Pill Formula word for word.

"Main ingredients: Nine-Leaf Soul-Returning Grass, Dragon Blood Ganoderma, water from the Undying Spring..."

"Auxiliary ingredients: Heavenly Heart Lotus, Earth Soul Essence, three-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum..."

"Refining method: Must use Samadhi True Fire to calcine for forty-nine days, then temper with rootless water, nine turns to form the pill..."

He read with cadence, full of the arrogance of an alchemy Grandmaster.

While listening, Su Changge said to the System in his mind: "System, analyze this Pill Formula."

【Ding! Analyzing Pill Formula [Nine-Turn Life-Reversing Pill]...】

【Analysis complete! Comprehensive evaluation: Full of loopholes, low efficiency.】

【Analysis report: 1. Pharmacological conflict: Nine-Leaf Soul-Returning Grass is Yang, water from the Undying Spring is Yin; forced Fusion will cause a significant reduction in medicinal properties, and there is a 30% chance of the furnace exploding. 2. Material waste: The effects of Heavenly Heart Lotus and Earth Soul Essence overlap; only one is needed, using both is a pure waste. 3. Crude refining method: The temperature of the Samadhi True Fire is too high, which will destroy part of the spirituality of the Dragon Blood Ganoderma; it is recommended to switch to slow stewing with gentle fire...】

The System instantly listed a whole bunch of shortcomings and improvement suggestions, leaving Su Changge dazzled.

"Damn, is it really this trash?"

Su Changge was shocked in his heart; how could this thing have the nerve to be called a "Divine Pill"?

After Chen Xuan finished reading, he looked at him with expectation, waiting for his shock and praise.

Su Changge yawned and spoke in an extremely disdainful tone.

"Just this?"

These two words made the smile on Chen Xuan's face freeze instantly.

Su Changge sat up from the rocking chair, picked up a plate of melon seeds from the table beside him, cracked one, and said slowly: "This Pill Formula of yours has too many problems."

"Pharmacological conflict, material waste, incorrect heat, crude method... it is simply useless."

For every shortcoming he mentioned, Chen Xuan's face turned a shade paler.

By the time Su Changge finished speaking, Chen Xuan's face had completely turned the color of liver.

His masterpiece, which he had spent three hundred years of painstaking effort on and was most proud of, was actually belittled as worthless in this guy's mouth?

"You... you are talking nonsense!" Chen Xuan was trembling with anger, pointing at Su Changge and shouting, "You are a layman, what do you know about alchemy? How dare you spout such nonsense here and slander my Pill Formula!"

Watching his exasperated appearance, Su Changge felt secretly pleased.

"Yes, yes, yes, this is the reaction. The emotion points are starting to rise."

He spat out the melon seed shell, looked at Chen Xuan, and shook his head with a pitying look.

"To be honest, the Medicinal Pill refined from this Pill Formula of yours..."

"Even dogs wouldn't use it."
