Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 605 - 426: Can Body Tempering Pills Also Produce Pill Patterns? The Divine Pill Pavilion’s Response [Subscription Requested!]

Lin Chang’sheng followed Liu Siyue towards the Divine Pill Pavilion, feeling absolutely confident inside.

If my alchemy skills aren’t better than this little girl’s, then that’s just ridiculous.

But Liu Siyue was also full of confidence; her cultivation couldn’t match Lin Chang’sheng’s, but when it came to alchemy, she was certain she could easily surpass him.

She was determined to smack him in the face and vent her frustration when the time came.

Before long, the group arrived at the bottom of the Divine Pill Pavilion.

This Divine Pill Pavilion was situated in the center of Wangyue City, so it wasn’t far at all.

The surrounding onlookers followed along, wanting to see whether Lin Chang’sheng really did know alchemy.

If the number one on the Celestial Pride List could also refine elixirs, that would be beyond what anyone could call a genius.

"Lin Chang’sheng actually dares to compete in alchemy with the Little Immortal Doctor? Does he really have a shot at winning?"

"I wouldn’t be so sure. If Lin Chang’sheng didn’t know alchemy, he wouldn’t have come at all!"

"Even if he knows alchemy, he can’t possibly be better than the Little Immortal Doctor, right? That’d be just monstrous!"

"Yeah! In the past there have been prodigies with dual cultivation of elixir and martial arts; with elixirs as support, their cultivation soared!"

"Otherwise, how do you think Lin Chang’sheng’s cultivation improved so quickly? Maybe he’s had help from elixirs all along!"

...

The crowd whispered among themselves.

But Liu Siyue simply didn’t believe he could be that good.

"Don’t say I didn’t warn you—once you step in the Divine Pill Pavilion, if you lose, it won’t be easy to back out!"

Liu Siyue reminded him flatly.

She wanted Lin Chang’sheng to embarrass himself.

But Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t fazed at all. "As long as you accept your defeat gracefully, we’re good!"

"Hmph, when it comes to alchemy skill, my junior sister’s never lost to someone her age! Lin Chang’sheng, don’t get cocky!"

Zhan Shao snapped impatiently.

"That’s because she hasn’t gone up against me yet."

Lin Chang’sheng’s lips curled into a confident smirk.

Liu Siyue had wanted to humiliate Lin Chang’sheng, but seeing as he wasn’t even the least bit afraid, she could only take him into the Divine Pill Pavilion.

This Holy Pill Pavilion had five floors in total.

The first and second floors were for selling elixirs, the third and fourth for refining, and the fifth for alchemists to rest.

So Liu Siyue led Lin Chang’sheng straight to the third floor.

"These elixirs are so ordinary!"

Walking past the first and second floors, Lin Chang’sheng glanced at the elixirs on sale and found nothing remarkable about them.

The first floor was full of basic elixirs like the Qi-Enhancing Pill, Essence Replenishing Pill, and Strengthening Body Pill.

The second floor’s elixirs were more potent, but still hardly caught Lin Chang’sheng’s eye—they were all fifth or sixth grade pills.

Since Lin Chang’sheng could refine a Holy Pill, it made sense he wouldn’t care for these elixirs.

But cultivators kept coming to buy elixirs here—after all, not everyone had Lin Chang’sheng’s level of talent.

Most cultivators were still struggling at the lower levels.

Soon, Liu Siyue led Lin Chang’sheng up to the third floor.

The temperature noticeably rose, and the rooms were divided into several small chambers.

This was clearly where the alchemists did their refining; because of all the flames, the heat was intense.

"Master!"

They entered an alchemy room, where an elder was sorting medicinal ingredients. Liu Siyue and Zhan Shao greeted him respectfully right away.

The elder turned around upon hearing them and broke into a slight smile at the sight of the two.

"Finally, you’re back! Did you bring the ingredients? With just one more thing, the Fire Phoenix Pill can be refined!"

The elder was visibly excited.

It seemed Liu Siyue and Zhan Shao had just returned from outside, and so they’d planned to wash up at the Heaven-Reaching Tower before coming to the Divine Pill Pavilion.

Who would’ve thought they’d run into Lin Chang’sheng while washing up, which led to everything that happened next.

"We brought it back!"

Zhan Shao pulled a red jade bottle from his storage bag; inside, the liquid looked like blood.

The pill was called the Fire Phoenix Pill; most likely, this was Fire Phoenix Blood.

Who knew how they’d gotten it.

"Excellent! You two go now. Don’t bother me until I finish refining this pill!"

Having received the Fire Phoenix Blood, the elder was instantly engrossed in his refining, barely glancing at Lin Chang’sheng, the outsider.

Clearly, alchemists were obsessed with their craft; nothing else seemed to matter to them.

"Senior, that Fire Phoenix Blood is a Supreme Yang object, but you don’t have a Supreme Yin object among your ingredients to balance it. Refining this way—it’s easy to blow up the furnace!"

Lin Chang’sheng scanned the elder’s ingredients, saw there was no Supreme Yin object to balance, and so he offered a word of advice.

But at this, the elder grew deeply displeased and glared at Lin Chang’sheng.

"Who are you? What grade alchemist do you think you are, daring to instruct me in alchemy?"

The elder was annoyed. The Fire Phoenix Pill was anything but simple—even for him, it was a first attempt—yet this boy dared to point out his flaws, as if his own alchemy was superior.

"Master, this guy thinks he’s good at alchemy, so I dragged him here to compete. If he loses, just kill him on the spot—spares everyone from being fooled!"

Seeing the timing was right, Liu Siyue jumped in.

"Oh? An alchemy contest?"

The elder sounded surprised. "Go to the next room and let Junior Brother Zhang act as judge. If he dares challenge Divine Pill Pavilion’s alchemy skill, and he loses—kill him on the spot!"

To challenge the authority of the Divine Pill Pavilion was to seek death—if Lin Chang’sheng lost, there was no way he’d leave alive.

Challenging the Pavilion’s alchemists was tantamount to trampling their reputation.

If they let him walk after losing, soon enough there’d be a second or a third fool looking to do the same.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Liu Siyue was all smiles—in her mind, there was no way Lin Chang’sheng would walk out of Divine Pill Pavilion alive today.
