Chapter 227: Grand Sorcerer
"I will take responsibility!" Upon hearing this, Yang Chen stepped forward.
"Greetings, Celestial Emperor." Yao Tian, Elder Four, Pharmaceutical Emperor, Wind Carefree, and others quickly said.
"Celestial Emperor..." Wind Carefree was about to say something but was interrupted by Yang Chen, who said, "I know."
"Celestial Emperor, do not blame this old minister. I truly do not want to waste a furnace of Nourishing Essence Pill on a single experiment. Even if it succeeds, is it worth using Life Essence Elixir? Is the cost-effectiveness reasonable?" Yao Tian objected, saying, "Since the Ancient Cultivator did not use Life Essence Elixir with Nourishing Essence Pill, it indicates that this method is not feasible! Therefore, I oppose it."
"Medicine Pavilion Master, without a spirit of practice, how can we innovate? Practice is the ladder of progress for people. If I had not asked you to restore the Nourishing Essence Pill, would you have refined it? Similarly, if Life Essence Elixir is added to Nourishing Essence Pill, would it enhance the effects of Nourishing Essence Pill?" Yang Chen countered.
"But why didn't the Ancient Cultivator add Life Essence Elixir to Nourishing Essence Pill?" Yao Tian said with hesitation.
"There are two reasons. First: the Ancient Cultivator believed that adding Life Essence Elixir to Nourishing Essence Pill was not cost-effective. Second: Life Essence Elixir is rare," Yang Chen analyzed.
"Because of this, I do not support it," Yao Tian said.
Yang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "First, in the eyes of the Ancient Cultivator, Nourishing Essence Pill is an ordinary elixir and not worth adding Life Essence Elixir. However, what they see as an ordinary Nourishing Essence Pill is a treasure in our eyes! Am I wrong in saying this, Medicine Pavilion Master?"
"I admit this point. Compared to the current Seventh-Rank and Eighth-Rank Elixirs, only the Nourishing Essence Pill has the highest cost-effectiveness," Yao Tian nodded in agreement.
"Therefore, I believe that to innovate, we must make adjustments to the Nourishing Essence Pill," Yang Chen stated solemnly.
"But that thing called Life Essence Elixir..." Yao Tian said anxiously.
Yang Chen waved his hand to interrupt Yao Tian and said, "In my eyes, Life Essence Elixir is actually an extremely ordinary thing."
"Trust me, Life Essence Elixir—whatever amount I want, I can have. I'm just afraid you won't be able to use it!"
"This." Yao Tian hesitated.
"Master of Shen Nong, since the Celestial Emperor has said so, how can we, as subjects, oppose?" the Pharmaceutical Emperor agreed.
Yao Tian looked at the Pharmaceutical Emperor, then glanced at his Three Younger Brothers, and then firmly said, "You, as the Celestial Emperor, are not afraid of waste; what am I saving for you? Really." After saying that, he smiled broadly at Yang Chen.
"I trust you all, which is why I said this. Let's get to work. If the Life Essence Elixir is not enough, just tell me," he said, waving his hand to throw out dozens of bottles of Life Essence Elixir. Ever since refining the Life Fire, Yang Chen had as much Life Essence Elixir as he needed.
"Yes!" Yao Tian's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately called his Three Younger Brothers and the Pharmaceutical Emperor to start working.
Yao Tian hesitated for a moment, took a bottle of Life Essence Elixir, added one-tenth of it into the Heavenly Medicine Cauldron where the Elixir was being refined, and then said, "I hope this won't be wasted."
Seeing this, Yang Chen smiled and shook his head.
Half an hour later.
"High Elder, it's ready," the Pharmaceutical Emperor said.
"Yes, I know," Yao Tian said nervously, his eyes fixed on the Medicine King Cauldron.
Suddenly, with a loud bang! The lid of the Medicine King Cauldron was blown off, and a green mist mixed with white vapor wafted out.
"It worked! Please examine it, Celestial Emperor," everyone stepped forward excitedly but then stopped respectfully in front of Yang Chen.
"Ha ha, my lords, come forward together," he said and took a step forward first, followed by everyone surrounding the Medicine King Cauldron.
Inside the Medicine King Cauldron were about twenty Nourishing Essence Pills; most of them were green and white in color.
Yang Chen pinched one out, gently sniffed it, and said, "It seems better than before."
"Eighth-Rank Elixir!!" Yao Tian said excitedly.
He quickly pinched out a Nourishing Essence Pill from the Medicine King Cauldron and studied it carefully. The others also took one and quietly examined it.
"Bang ga." A crisp sound came from Wind Carefree's mouth: "It's hard."
"Uh. Leisurely, how does it feel?" Yang Chen asked.
"Not bad, but it doesn't have the previous effect of melting in the mouth. If someone is seriously injured and can't bite through this Nourishing Essence Pill, won't they just watch themselves die?" Wind Carefree said.
Immediately, everyone threw the Nourishing Essence Pill into their mouths, and the sound of crunching filled the air.
Yang Chen held a half-bitten Nourishing Essence Pill and said, "Medicine Pavilion Master, could it be that the Life Essence Elixir didn't penetrate into the Nourishing Essence Pill, which caused this result?" He looked at his hand, where only a little bit of Life Essence Elixir was stuck to the pill's skin, raising a question.
"That might be the case," Yao Tian nodded and replied.
"Alright, I'm waiting for your good news. If the Life Essence Elixir runs low, let me know at any time. By the way, this Life Essence Elixir hasn't fully integrated into the Nourishing Essence Pill yet; even if it's an Eighth-Rank Elixir, once you completely research it successfully, it will definitely be a peak Eighth-Rank Elixir!" Yang Chen encouraged. Elixirs are also graded: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and peak.
"Yes, My Lords will continue to work hard to develop the perfect Nourishing Essence Pill for the Celestial Kingdom!" Yao Tian and the others respectfully said.
"I'm looking forward to your great achievements!" Yang Chen nodded and then turned to leave.
After Yang Chen left, Wind Carefree followed closely behind, while Yao Tian and the others got busy again.
"Celestial Emperor," Wind Carefree called out.
"What is it?" Yang Chen asked.
"I just got carried away by the good news and forgot there was still something else," Wind Carefree said.
"Speak."
"About ten days ago, Tower of Babel descended again with hundreds of millions of powerful beings, but..." Wind Carefree hesitated to say.
"But what?" Yang Chen asked.
"They do not belong to the Order Celestial Kingdom. Oh, about a month ago, the Order Empire was promoted to Celestial Kingdom. At the same time, those outsiders' attacking methods are different from ours; they use something called magic," Wind Carefree said.
"Western Continent ascenders, people from Chaos Temple?" Yang Chen said in surprise.
"According to Jade Emperor, it should be," Wind Carefree said.
"There are no magical elements in the Eastern Continent. Are they seeking death?" Yang Chen murmured.
"No, Celestial Emperor, you don't know. Their magic can summon huge meteors from the sky and can create water out of thin air, as well as provide water. They also have ice formations and fierce flames. Before Brothers even got close to them, Brothers were already dead," Wind Carefree said with a sense of fear.
"Chaos Temple? Hmph! Leisurely, how many people descended this time? Also, what are they doing?" Yang Chen asked.
"About Three billion. Right now, they are attacking Huangzhou, but strangely, the Order Celestial Kingdom has not intervened and is allowing them to develop," Wind Carefree said.
"Oh? Jade Emperor is not taking action?" Yang Chen also felt slightly puzzled: "Perhaps Jade Emperor has his own difficulties. Gather statistics on their strength and our military strength."
"According to Jade Emperor, among those Three billion people, all have reached the level of Grand Sorcerer, equivalent to our Dueling Saint Realm."
