225: Taixu Nirvana Pill!

Lu Hao, who was originally selecting the ninth Pill Formula, slowly put down the Pill Formula in his hand when he heard Qi Yuda's words, and stood up, saying:

"Heh heh, as expected, it couldn't be hidden from Qi Sect Leader's eyes. Since that's the case, there's nothing for me to conceal. I indeed came for a Nine-Rank Pill Formula!"

"I just don't know if Qi Sect Leader can grant my wish? Whatever you want in exchange, just say it."

Lu Hao originally thought that this time he would probably return empty-handed again, just like the previous two times, but Qi Yuda's reaction was beyond Lu Hao's expectation.

He didn't refuse Lu Hao outright, but calmly looked at Lu Hao and slowly said:

"Lu Daoyou, my Miao Dan Sect indeed doesn't have a Nine-Rank Pill Formula... but I have some things I want to tell Lu Daoyou."

When Lu Hao heard Qi Yuda's words, he instinctively didn't quite believe it. The Miao Dan Sect, the head of the Three Great Sects, didn't have a Nine-Rank Pill Formula?

Isn't this a huge joke?

Just as Lu Hao was about to ask, Qi Yuda continued:

"Lu Daoyou, are you interested in hearing this old man tell you a bit of history?"

"I'm all ears."

Qi Yuda paused, and his aged voice gradually filled the entire secret chamber.

"Actually, before the Eastern Domain split, the Alchemy path in my Eastern Domain was very prosperous. Although it couldn't compare to the other three great domains, there were still quite a few Nine-Rank Pills."

"However, even before the Eastern Domain split, Nine-Rank Pill Formulas were already very rare. Generally, a Nine-Rank Alchemist having one or two Pill Formulas was already a lot, but it wasn't as scarce as it is now."

"But ever since that earth-shattering great war occurred, a large number of Nine-Rank Pill Formulas mysteriously disappeared. Some Pill Formulas were guarded by entire families for generations, but in the end, they also vanished without a trace!"

"The Alchemists of the Eastern Domain once searched for the reason, but ultimately found nothing. Over time, this matter gradually faded into the river of time."

"Later, the Alchemy art of the entire Eastern Domain declined. Before the split, there were still Alchemists who could refine Nine-Rank Pills, but after the split, even Eight-Rank Pills were rarely successfully refined by anyone."

"Moreover, a very strange situation appeared! Lu Daoyou, I wonder if you have been to other provinces?"

Lu Hao slowly shook his head and said:

"I haven't been to other provinces."

Lu Hao didn't say that he was from Northern Barren State, to avoid further complications, but he also recalled that the entire Northern Barren State indeed seemed to have no Alchemy inheritance.

One of the seven Mansions of his Qingxuan Sect was called the Medicine Mansion, which was originally a Mansion for Alchemy, but from Lu Hao's current perspective, the Alchemy level of that Medicine Mansion could be said to be a complete mess!

It was as if there was no inheritance at all!

This matter was indeed strange. Logically, when the Eastern Domain split, even though Northern Barren State was in a remote location, there should still have been some Alchemists who stayed, right?

After all, it was such a large piece of land, how could the Alchemy inheritance just seem to have been cut off?

Lu Hao was puzzled internally, but he didn't ask more, quietly listening to Qi Yuda's words.

"So that's how it is, then it's not strange. If Lu Daoyou were to go out and see, you would find that, in fact, now in the entire Eastern Domain, it seems only Alchemists from Danling State can become Eight-Rank Alchemists!"

"In the entire Eastern Domain, even the most prosperous Thousand Stars State, it's very difficult for Eight-Rank Alchemists to emerge."

"This matter is incredibly bizarre. Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen, but it just did!"

Lu Hao also frowned deeply as he listened. Why was Qi Yuda telling him all this out of nowhere? He didn't care about these things; he just wanted to get the Pill Formula and complete the task...

However, he still asked:

"Qi Sect Leader, why is that?"

Qi Yuda slowly shook his head and said:

"This matter has always been a mystery; we have never known the reason..."

...

You don't know, so why are you telling me this nonsense?! Are you specifically trying to pique my interest? The key is that I have no interest in your affairs at all...

I just want to find a Nine-Rank Pill Formula and complete the task, why is it so difficult...

Lu Hao was speechless. Isn't this the kind of person who talks halfway and then shuts up?

Qi Yuda naturally saw through Lu Hao's thoughts and then gave a sheepish smile.

"Lu Daoyou, these words were entrusted to me by someone to tell you. That person didn't tell me the reason, only asked me to convey this information to you."

"Who? Why didn't he come to tell me himself?"

"That's inconvenient to tell Lu Daoyou. That person said that when the time comes, he will personally come to find you."

Another one speaking in riddles! Just as Lu Hao was about to say something, he saw Qi Yuda slowly take out a scroll from his storage bag.

This action immediately caught Lu Hao's attention!

He felt an extremely ancient aura from this scroll. Could this be?

Qi Yuda held the scroll in his right hand, his eyes filled with reluctance. He stared at the scroll for a long time, then gritted his teeth and directly threw it to Lu Hao.

"Lu Daoyou! This item is a Nine-Rank Pill Formula! It was entrusted to me by that person to give to you."

"What?!"

Lu Hao was somewhat shocked internally. Didn't he say there wasn't one? How did one suddenly appear, and even given to him?

"This... Is this a Nine-Rank Pill Formula? Qi Sect Leader, what do you mean by this? Once it's in my hands, I won't be taking it back!"

"Heh heh, Lu Daoyou, I told you, this isn't from my Miao Dan Sect. It was entrusted to me by an elder to give to you. He said that after you successfully refine the Nine-Rank Pill, he hopes you can agree to one request of his!"

"I don't know what's wrong with that elder. I've followed him for so many years, and he has never mentioned that I could refine Nine-Rank Pills, yet you, a newcomer, can make him give you the Pill Formula. It's truly incredible..."

Lu Hao, on the other hand, looked sideways at the person who gave him the Pill Formula.

This person indeed had capabilities, being able to foresee that he would definitely be able to refine Nine-Rank Pills in the future, and even seized the opportunity to ask him for a request.

So Lu Hao spoke, saying:

"Qi Sect Leader, what is the request? I have my principles for doing things; I won't agree to just any request."

Qi Yuda slowly said:

"That elder only said that it would never go against your true intentions. If it does, you can refuse."

"In that case, Lu accepts!"

Lu Hao excitedly held the Nine-Rank Pill Formula and immediately opened it to look.

However, unlike Eight-Rank Pill Formulas which were recorded, this Nine-Rank Pill Formula was actually imprinted in the form of divine sense!

The moment Lu Hao opened the scroll, an ancient divine sense instantly entered Lu Hao's mind!

"Tai Xu Nirvana Pill!"

A high-grade Nine-Rank Pill!
