446: Dan Cheng, Zhong Xu

“Thank you, my lord!”

Everyone thanked you, and then began to study the process of making Chaos Pills.

The first step was very simple.

In just a few months, some people successfully compressed Chaos Qi.

This delighted you greatly, and you continuously promised various benefits to the Alchemists.

However, when everyone proceeded to the second step, a huge problem arose.

In Daoist Dan Gui's second step of Alchemy, it was necessary to continuously use the 'Wangliang Ghost Fire' for refining.

But none of them were ghost Cultivators, so no one could control this flame at all.

“Is there no flame that can replace the 'Wangliang Ghost Fire'?”

“Reporting to my lord, if we follow Daoist Dan Gui's Alchemy method, there should be no flame that can replace it.”

“However, we can create an improved method.”

“It's just that this might cause a slight delay.”

You nodded upon hearing this.

Then you had everyone research other methods, stating that if they could refine Chaos Pills, time was not an issue.

Thus, you began to wait.

And the many Alchemists only took five years to find an alternative method.

However, what you didn't expect was that the final step of refining the Chaos Pill once again stumped the Alchemists.

Although these Alchemists had all reached the eighteenth Realm, their true strength was pitifully weak.

Even with all their means, they could not complete the final step of Core Formation.

This immediately caused a shadow to cross your face.

You originally wanted several people to work together to refine it, but the condensation process of the Chaos Pill was extremely fragile.

As long as two people injected power, the Chaos Pill's condensation would fail, leading to an explosion.

In desperation, you had no choice but to personally take action and begin refining Chaos Pills.

Relying on your memory and the guidance of the many Alchemists, you quickly completed the first and second steps.

But the final step still trapped you.

You began to try again and again.

During this period, you even wasted several jin yue stones.

But fortunately, you finally succeeded.

Although the quality of the Chaos Pills you refined was slightly inferior to Daoist Dan Gui's, they would still be of great help to you.

And as you refined them again and again, the quality of the Chaos Pills gradually improved.

“Bang...”

With a dull explosion, the last batch of Chaos Pills was successfully refined by you.

However, just as you reached out to retrieve it, it instantly disappeared.

At the same time, you felt a warning from your Crisis Awareness.

This immediately made you feel that something was amiss.

But what you did first was not to retrieve that Chaos Pill, but to swallow all the Chaos Pills you had refined earlier and tell the many Alchemists to leave the area.

“Hmph, quite clever!”

A cold laugh came from the distant sky, and when you looked up, you saw a black figure appear there.

He seemed like a Mortal.

But you knew that he was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

Because the source of your Crisis Awareness was him.

And even after you had completely refined all the Chaos Pills, the warning from your Crisis Awareness still persisted.

You cast a seemingly benevolent smile at him.

And upon seeing you so sensible, he immediately spoke: “This Medicinal Pill is good, the energy contained within it is even abundant.”

“In the future, refine this Medicinal Pill for this Venerable One, and this Venerable One will promise you to be the foremost person beneath this Venerable One!”

“Oh?”

You smiled and shook your head.

Although the strength of the person in front of you seemed good, through the intensity of the Crisis Awareness's warning, you realized that he was far from having the ability to kill you.

However, upon seeing this person, you immediately realized his identity.

This person was most likely the one behind Bei Ming Wu Liang and the others.

So you didn't want to immediately turn hostile with him, but rather intended to glean some useful information from him.

“Who are you?”

“What kind of existence is the foremost person beneath you?”

“Hahahahaha, this Venerable One is Zhong Xu, the most powerful existence in the world.”

“The foremost person beneath this Venerable One is naturally the second most powerful person in the entire world!”

“People like Bei Ming Wu Liang and others will all be your subordinates in the future!”

You nodded slightly upon hearing this.

However, just as Zhong Xu thought you would agree to him, you changed the subject and said: “What about the Inner Universe?”

“If I become your subordinate, can I also command the Cultivators of the Inner Universe?”

“The Inner Universe? How did you get involved with them?”

Zhong Xu's words were somewhat surprised.

And from his tone, you heard that he harbored apprehension towards the Heavenly Dao of the Inner Universe.

Even if the two of them were existences of the same level, Zhong Xu could at most fight the Heavenly Dao of the Inner Universe to a draw, unable to truly defeat the other party.

This aroused a strong sense of doubt in your heart.

However, before you could ask, Zhong Xu spoke again.

He told you that the true strength of the Heavenly Dao of the Inner Universe was not as great as his, but it had many methods and grand ambitions.

So generally speaking, he also didn't want to provoke the other party.

But if you were willing to become his subordinate, then you wouldn't need to fear the Heavenly Dao of the Inner Universe.

Because the Heavenly Dao of the Inner Universe knew its place and dared not provoke him and his subordinate Cultivators.

“So that's how it is.”

You nodded slightly, a hint of joy flashing in your eyes.

Zhong Xu feared the Heavenly Dao of the Inner Universe, but you were different.

Now that you had understood the true strength of the Heavenly Dao of the Inner Universe, it was time for you to exact your revenge.

“How about it? Have you decided whether to join this Venerable One's command?”

“As long as you relax your Divine Soul and allow me to plant a mark, you will not only become the foremost person beneath this Venerable One, but also...”

As soon as his voice fell, a barrage of Fatal Strikes was thrown at Zhong Xu by you.

Although he was somewhat caught off guard, he quickly reacted.

“Hmph, since you're seeking death yourself, then don't blame this Venerable One!”

Zhong Xu sneered and immediately launched an attack on you.

All sorts of attacks were unleashed from his hands, instantly making you feel immense pressure.

“Such powerful strength.”

You muttered to yourself, but you did not choose to flee the area.

Because you clearly knew that Zhong Xu's attacks were not enough to kill you.

Against him, you could not only trigger the God of One-on-One Battles, but also trigger Overcoming to Subdue!

Although Zhong Xu seemed powerful, he was still only at the eighteenth Realm!
