The pills which were produced based on the first pill recipe were called Glazed Diamond Pills. They could increase the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator by ten times, their side-effect was quite simple; a big appetite.
The pills which were produced based on the second pill recipe were called Fire Phoenix True Blood Pills. They could heal wounds and nourish the Blood and Qi, their side-effect was amnesia.
After Lu Changsheng took notes, he then pulled out a third pill recipe.
“Senior Brother, are you still thinking about making pills?” Liu Qingfeng still felt nervous. After all, it was his first time doing something bad like what just happened.
“Calm down, this isn’t a big deal. Do you know how horrible the outside world is?” Lu Changsheng calmly responded.
After thinking for a while, Lu Changsheng finally calmed down. Amnesia was a much better thing than death after all.
If someone found out what happened, he would just get scolded at most. He also had Liu Qingfeng to take the fall for it.
Honestly speaking, Lu Changsheng felt slightly annoyed. He felt that the longer he stayed with these people, the lower his IQ became.
“How horrible?” Liu Qingfeng asked like he was a curious baby.
“The world of cultivation believes in the law of the jungle. Because you were born in the Zenith Land. You have no idea how horrible the outside world is.
“For a piece of spirit stone, people beat up each other.
“For a spirit herb that might be nothing in your eyes, people would kill each other for it.
“For an Enchanted Armament, people would blatantly kill and rob. The outside world is a cruel world of cultivation.
“Qingfeng, there are people working very hard so that you can enjoy your peaceful life.”
In fact, Lu Changsheng had no idea what the outside world was like. What he said just came from the many novels he read in his past life.
“They kill and rob just because of an Enchanted Armament?” The look on Qingfeng’s face suddenly changed. Although he left the sect in the past, but it was as a disciple from the Zenith Land, he didn’t see the cruel side of the world.
“That’s correct.” Lu Changsheng nodded.
However, Liu Qingfeng didn’t understand at all. In his eyes, a person’s life was much more valuable than an object.
Lu Changsheng stood up. He was ready to make some pills himself.
Since it wasn’t as dangerous as he expected, he decided to give it a shot.
Also, a part of Lu Changsheng believed that Liu Qingfeng did something wrong when making the pills, this resulted in the amnesia side-effect. It seemed to be better if he did this work himself.
After casting a spell, the lid of the furnace rose into the air. The fire under the furnace flared into life.
Following the recipe, Lu Changsheng put the ingredients into the furnace.
This pill recipe was supposed to make pills that restored consciousness. However, Lu Changsheng made some modifications to it.
It was now a recipe for making Enlightenment Pills. These pills were supposed to help cultivators enter a state of concentration and make them learn faster.
The ingredients were quite standard. Hence, the entire process should theoretically be stable. Otherwise, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t take the risk.
After putting all the ingredients in.
Lu Changsheng was very calm.
These pills should be fine.
As the fire kept burning, the aroma of herbs filled the room.
Because making pills required a lot of patience, Lu Changsheng was very calm.
In fact, had a pill master been here, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t have been allowed to be like this.
Putting in ingredients required proper timing.
Although Lu Changsheng followed the necessary order, but he threw them in all together.
It was already a miracle that the furnace didn’t explode right now.
After a while, Lu Changsheng started to think about whether he should learn some spells to protect himself before leaving for the trip.
When suddenly, Liu Qingfeng’s voice pulled his thoughts back.
“Senior Brother, the furnace!” Liu Qingfeng excitedly shouted at him.
Lu Changsheng turned to look at the furnace.
Colorful light filled the furnace and permeated the room. The aroma even became stronger.
The entire Zenith Land could smell the scent.
‘Buzz.’
‘Buzz.’
Soon, the furnace started buzzing.
Then, even more formidable things happened. Vague figures of mythological creatures appeared in the air.
The Qilin, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Qiang Liang, and even Bai Ze.
‘Growling!’
‘Shrieking!’
‘Growling’!
‘Bellowing!’
The sounds made by these creatures were deafening. The entire Zenith Land could hear them clearly.
In the sky above the main peak.
The red clouds of merits and virtues were gathering. As they covered the entire main peak, the vague figures of the mythological creatures could be seen in the air.
All kinds of glowing patterns and symbols flew out of the furnace. The entire main peak was dyed in the color of red, it looked resplendent.
On the main peak, the disciples who were working hard were all shocked. They had no idea what was happening.
In the Zenith Palace, Perfected Qing Yun and the leaders from the other sects were in the middle of an important meeting. This meeting was suddenly disrupted by the aroma of herbs and loud sounds outside.
“What’s happening?” Perfected Qing Yun asked.
“There’s big news! Chief Leader! There’s an unusual phenomenon again above the main peak,” a guard reported on the other side of the gate.
“I’ll go and take a look.” Perfected Qing Yun stood up and walked out of the Zenith Palace, stepping on the covered bridge. He directly headed towards the main peak.
In the Zenith Land, countless people were staring at the main peak, they had no idea what was happening.
At this moment, on the main peak, a vague figure of a fire phoenix appeared, as if it was heating up the air. Fortunately, the hot air didn’t hurt anyone.
However, the entire Zenith Land was dyed red. It was truly incredible.
In the Pill Hall.
The head of the hall suddenly opened his eyes. After catching the scent in the air, he exclaimed, “These are Peerless Pills!”
His voice was so loud that the entire Zenith Land could hear it.
People were stunned.
“Peerless Pills?”
“Who’s making the pills?”
“Since it’s on the main peak, then it should be Eldest Senior Brother!”
“Unbelievable! Despite Eldest Senior Brother being an amazing cultivator, he’s also a pill master!”
“Eldest Senior Brother is really good at everything!”
“It never occurred to me that Eldest Senior Brother isn’t only a genius cultivator but also a master in pill making! Him making some pills could even trigger this unusual phenomenon. Daoism will indeed thrive for another hundred thousand years.”
All sorts of discussions went on among the disciples.
In the Hall of Pill Refining.
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel very excited.
Indeed!
He was truly a genius pill master.
Indeed!
He was right.
Indeed!
A good-looking guy couldn’t just be a loser.
While staring at the furnace, Lu Changsheng was extremely thrilled.
The unusual phenomenon didn’t go away yet.
In front of the gate, there gathered Perfected Qing Yun and the rest of the senior leaders in the Zenith Land.
They were also astonished at the scene. They didn’t know what to say.
“Shall we go in?” One of them made a proposal.
It was immediately denied by the others.
“He can’t be disturbed. In order to make Peerless Pills, every step is crucial. I believe that Changsheng is going all-out on it right now. We’d better leave him alone. If anything happens, we’ll lose the pills and also Changsheng,” a pill master said among them.
“That’s right. We shall wait.” Perfected Qing Yun nodded, feeling quite nervous. He didn’t really care about the Peerless Pills, he was happy as long as his student stayed safe and sound.
In the Hall of Pill Refining.
Lu Changsheng stared at the furnace without saying a word.
Liu Qingfeng was more than exhilarated as he observed the splendor that was happening around him.
After two hours.
The power of all the unusual phenomena around infused into the furnace.
The Qi that the pills gave off felt formidable.
And then, the furnace gave off golden light. It was so bright that it almost blinded Liu Qingfeng’s eyes.
Finally, all the unusual phenomena disappeared.
The fire below the furnace died out as everything quieted down.
“Up!” Lu Changsheng cast a spell.
The lid rose into the air.
Lu Changsheng really couldn’t wait any longer.
The excitement in his eyes couldn’t be disguised.
But when he saw what was in the furnace—
He was totally shocked.
