What kind of horrible recipe is this?

In the courtyard!

Zhong Qing saw how confident the two were.

He said no more.

He released the two from their restraints.

Then, he returned and handed the Dan Yuan Dao Scripture from the room to the two.

“You two first look at this Pill Formula for the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill. After you’re done, come find me!”

After speaking, he leisurely returned to his room and brewed himself a cup of tea.

The tea leaves were sent by Morning Glow Valley.

Truth be told, the taste was indeed exceptional.

The aftertaste lingered, leaving a fragrance in the mouth.

A cup every day was refreshing and invigorating.

On the other side, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian were initially indifferent.

After all, in their eyes, Zhong Qing’s Alchemy technique was too crude.

Any Disciple under them, when it came to Alchemy, would be a thousand times stronger than him.

Undeniably, Zhong Qing’s strength was great.

But in the Dao of Alchemy, they were the big brothers, and he was the little brother.

They were not on the same level at all.

To call him a rookie in the Alchemy world, the two felt it was an insult to rookies.

How valuable could a Pill Formula produced by such a person, and so casually at that, be?

However, with just one glance.

Both parties were stunned by the content on the Pill Formula!

“Using the Five Elements as fire, drawing the power of the sun, moon, and stars as fuel, gathering the mountains and rivers from all directions as a furnace, and seizing the Heavenly Spirit Earth Fluid with the Secret Art of Supplementing Heaven and Earth, one can form the Pill of Perfect Foundation Establishment!”

… …

“This, what kind of Heaven-Defying Pill Formula is this?”

Just the opening general outline.

Made the two’s hearts greatly shaken.

Such a Pill Formula was unheard of, unseen before.

The novelty of its Ideas, the grandness of its scope, were simply incomparable to the Pill Formulas circulating in the world.

It was as if a current flashed through their hearts.

That was excitement.

With the two’s attainments in the Dao of Alchemy.

They could tell that this Pill Formula was extremely Heaven-Defying.

It was as if it opened a door to a new world for them.

The further down they read, the more uncontrollably excited the two became.

The marvel of this Pill Formula was not only in its unprecedented terrifying medicinal properties.

It also lay in its unique Alchemy method, the Dao of Pill Formation.

Many Alchemists prefer to use Earth Fire to extract the medicinal properties of Spirit Medicine.

This was also the most common and widespread Alchemy technique.

The control of fire temperature was an extremely important part of Pill formation.

And besides the Fire Alchemy method, only profound Alchemists knew that there was also an Alchemy method called Water Alchemy.

And the two, as Elders of a Holy Land, considered themselves the strongest small group of Alchemists in the Eastern Region.

Besides mastering the Fire Alchemy method and the Water Alchemy method, they could also fuse the Water and Fire Alchemy methods into one.

This was the source of their arrogance and their ability to look down on all others.

And now, the Alchemy method on this Pill Formula, in addition to Water and Fire Alchemy, also described Gold, Wood, and Earth Alchemy, collectively known as Five Elements Alchemy.

Each Alchemy method was immeasurable in value.

They were all resources that could help Alchemists go higher and further.

They were the basis for their standing.

They were treasures worthy of being passed down through generations!

Regarding Five Elements Alchemy, the two had only heard of it in ancient texts.

It was rumored that this Alchemy method had long been lost in the river of history.

They never expected that they would now be able to witness its true appearance.

It could be said that this Five Elements Alchemy method alone, if it were to spread, would undoubtedly drive countless Alchemists to madness.

And this was not the most precious thing in the Pill Formula.

The Secret Art of Supplementing Heaven and Earth and the Dao of Pill Formation recorded in the Pill Formula.

These were the most valuable things in this Pill Formula.

It could be said that as long as they thoroughly understood and assimilated what was recorded on this Pill Formula, their achievements in the Dao of Alchemy would definitely leap up more than one level.

Originally, they thought that being imprisoned by Zhong Qing and enduring daily torture was the darkest period of their lives.

But now they knew.

What it meant for Heaven to entrust a great mission to a person, it must first embitter their will, exhaust their bones and muscles, starve their body, empty their person, frustrate their actions, so as to stimulate their mind and strengthen their character, and increase what they are incapable of.

After the storm, there is always a rainbow.

This was clearly a Heaven-Defying Opportunity!

“Old Bai, this book is so thick, the content behind, it couldn’t be, all Pill Formulas, could it?”

Shi Xiaotian’s hands trembled, perhaps from too much excitement, even his beard quivered along with them.

Wu Yue, hearing this, also trembled all over.

This book was almost a foot thick. If the back was all Pill Formulas, how much would the entire book be worth?

A sense of curiosity, like a kitten scratching, clawed at his heart.

He observed for a moment, seeing Zhong Qing leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard, not paying attention to them.

Then he whispered, “How about we flip to the back and take a look?”

“Just a tiny peek?”

This suggestion naturally resonated with Shi Xiaotian.

Then, the two eagerly began to flip through the later chapters.

“Pill of Rejuvenation!”

“Elixir of Creation!”

“Ascension Pill!”

The two only flipped through three chapters, and their eyes immediately turned red.

“Hoo…”

Their chests heaved, and their blood began to boil.

Three chapters, recording three types of Pill Formulas.

Each one was an ancient Pill Formula that had been lost for a long time, each with different miraculous effects.

In terms of immense value, they were in no way inferior to the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill, and perhaps even surpassed it.

The two dared not flip any further.

Each of these Pill Formulas was an invaluable existence.

Moreover, flipping through two or three chapters was already a taboo.

If they looked at all of them, they might be silenced.

The two reluctantly averted their gaze from the Dan Yuan Dao Scripture.

They exchanged glances, making some kind of resolution in their hearts, and walked together towards the small courtyard.

Before long, they arrived before Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing took a light sip of the fragrant tea and asked.

“How is it? Can you refine it or not?”

Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian took a deep breath.

At this moment, when they looked at Zhong Qing again, they were already in awe.

Not only was his strength so powerful that they could only look up to him.

The Pill Formulas he possessed were even more exquisite, earning their admiration.

Such a Pill Formula, let alone in the Eastern Region, even across the world, would make countless top Alchemists envious and compel them to act.

Originally, the two had wanted to show off a little in front of Zhong Qing.

To let him know what the demeanor of a top Alchemist in the Eastern Region was like.

But only now did they realize that the clown had always been themselves.

“Senior, this Pill Formula is profound and extensive; for us, it is no small challenge!”

“But please, Senior, allow us to try!”

Wu Yue requested in a low voice.

For Alchemists, seeing such an excellent Pill Formula, not being able to try refining it was truly an extremely painful thing.

And in his words, the previous confidence was long gone.

His attitude was even more respectful, directly addressing him as Senior, bowing low and acting humbly.

Zhong Qing naturally saw this reversal.

“You two honestly tell me, within ten days, can you refine this Pill, and what percentage of certainty do you have?”

“Ten days?”

This time limit put immense pressure on Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian.

But they still gritted their teeth and gave an answer.

“Seventy percent!”

This was the result Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian arrived at after repeated calculations.

“Seventy percent?”

Zhong Qing frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

What he wanted was one hundred percent!

However, he also knew that for Alchemy, the more precious the Medicinal Pill, the more it depended on the right time, place, and people.

And he didn’t know many Alchemists.

Immortal River Sect did have a few, but he had to admit that the skill gap between Alchemists from a second-rate Sect and those from a Holy Land was still very obvious.

Time was short, the task was heavy, and besides these two, it would indeed be difficult for him to find suitable candidates.

“Seventy percent it is then!”

“If it really fails, at worst, I’ll find other ways to improve Lin Feng’s Aptitude later.”

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing said to the two, “Then the matter of refining the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill, I will entrust it to you two.”

“Whatever you need, just ask.”

Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian did not stand on ceremony with Zhong Qing and directly requested a massive amount of resources.

Although the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill Formula did not mention any precious Spirit Materials, most of the raw Materials came from between heaven and earth.

Sun, moon, heaven, earth, mountains, stars!

But wanting to extract these powers was not something that could be done by ordinary means.

It required a lot of preparation.

Of course, although the resources consumed were many, they were all common items, and with Immortal River Sect’s scale, they could fully supply them.

Zhong Qing dispatched his Xiao Tu Di to Sect Master Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong’s place for a trip.

He requested a batch of supplies.

The latter naturally agreed without hesitation.

With a wave of his hand, he directly approved it.

And after the Materials were fully prepared, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian began their fervent Alchemy journey.
