The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 142 Blood Infant Fruit

Lu Xuan merely glanced at the pill and then shook his head.

"It's barely watchable."

"Still garbage."

"you!"

Li Yao suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

"Talk is cheap! If you're so capable, show us what you can do!"

Lu Xuan ignored him and simply waved his hand.

"Buzz!"

A small, jet-black cauldron with an ancient and simple design appeared before him.

This is an antique that Lu Xuan casually took from the treasury of the Great Chu Imperial Palace.

It can barely be considered a mystical artifact.

The grade wasn't high, but given Lu Xuan's alchemy skills, it was more than enough.

"If we're going to compete, let's go big."

Lu Xuan took out a few spiritual herbs from his storage bag and casually tossed them into the cauldron.

"That's... a thousand-year-old blood ginseng? A purple lingzhi? And... a fire lotus from the earth's core?"

Li Yao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the medicinal herbs Lu Xuan had taken out.

"Are you crazy? These are all key ingredients for fourth-grade elixirs!"

"You, a mere Soul Platform Realm cultivator, dare to attempt to refine fourth-grade pills?!"

"That's utterly delusional!"

The surrounding disciples were also in an uproar.

The art of alchemy is a higher realm, with each grade representing a different level.

The spiritual power and soul strength of a Soul Platform Realm cultivator are already at their limit in refining Grade 3 pills.

To refine a fourth-grade pill, one must have at least the cultivation level of the Heavenly Origin Realm or even the Returning Origin Realm!

He's courting death!

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Lu Xuan formed a hand seal and sent a burst of chaotic fire into the cauldron.

"boom!"

Black flames rose up and enveloped the entire small cauldron.

"Melt it for me!"

Lu Xuan let out a low shout, and a massive amount of divine soul power surged into the cauldron, forcibly controlling the few violent spiritual herbs to fuse together.

The reason why fourth-grade pills are difficult to refine is that the medicinal properties of the ingredients are too strong, and the furnace will explode if you are not careful.

Although Lu Xuan had experience from his previous life, he was still limited by his current cultivation level, making the refining process quite difficult.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

A piercing sound came from inside the cauldron.

It was as if something was in violent conflict.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Lu Xuan's forehead, and his face turned somewhat pale.

His spiritual energy was being depleted like flowing water, while the Primordial Pearl was operating wildly, constantly replenishing his energy reserves.

"Haha! I knew it... he was just playing tricks!"

Upon seeing this, Li Yao burst into gloating laughter.

"Judging by his appearance, he's about to collapse!"

"Get ready for it to explode!"

The surrounding disciples also shook their heads.

"That's too presumptuous."

"Fourth-grade pills aren't so easy to refine!"

"Not only are we going to lose this time, we might also get ourselves involved."

Even Ye Gucheng, perched on a distant cliff, had a furrowed brow at this moment.

"A fourth-grade pill... is indeed too much of a stretch."

"What is he thinking?"

……

Time passed by, second by second.

Lu Xuan's condition seems to be getting worse.

His body trembled slightly, and the small black cauldron also shook violently.

It kept emitting a buzzing sound, as if it might explode at any moment.

"That's about it."

Just when everyone thought Lu Xuan would fail.

A glint of light suddenly flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"Freeze!"

"Buzz!"

The small cauldron trembled violently, followed by a burst of black light.

The originally violent effects of the medicine miraculously subsided.

Immediately afterwards, a medicinal fragrance a hundred times stronger than the pill Li Yao had taken earlier burst forth.

"This...this is..."

The smile on Li Yao's face froze.

"Fragrance turning into mist?!"

The fragrance of the medicine was so strong that it condensed into auspicious purple clouds in the air!

This is an unusual phenomenon that occurs when a fourth-grade elixir is formed!

"Get up!"

Lu Xuan roared and suddenly raised both hands upwards.

"boom!"

The lid of the cauldron soared into the sky.

A pill the size of a longan, golden in color and covered with red patterns, flew out.

It hovered directly in mid-air, radiating a dazzling light.

"A fourth-grade elixir, the Six-Turn Golden Soul Pill!"

Lu Xuan reached out and caught the pill, letting out a long breath.

Even with his alchemy skills, refining a fourth-grade pill at the Soul Platform Realm was extremely difficult for him.

The Six-Turn Golden Soul Pill is a pill specifically used to temper the soul, and it has excellent effects on cultivators below the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The entire venue immediately fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the golden pill in Lu Xuan's hand.

Did it really work out?

With only the fifth level of the Soul Platform Realm, he actually managed to refine a fourth-grade pill?

This is simply a miracle!

"No...that's simply impossible..."

Li Yao collapsed to the ground, looking utterly dejected.

"It's fake...it must just be a smokescreen..."

He couldn't accept this fact.

His prized talent was a joke in front of this person.

Lu Xuan walked up to him and waved the Six-Turn Golden Soul Pill in front of him.

"Did you see it clearly?"

"This is the true elixir."

"What you have is just a candy at best."

Looking at the flawless pill and feeling the terrifying medicinal power it contained, Li Yao's last shred of hope completely collapsed.

Lost.

We lost completely.

"I...I lost..."

Li Yao lowered his head, his voice hoarse.

"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."

"Here, take my hand."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, trembling, his eyes filled with despair.

For an alchemist, losing a hand is basically equivalent to being crippled.

Lu Xuan looked at him and shook his head.

What would I do with your hands?

"Even feeding it to a dog would be too dirty."

"Get lost."

"Don't let me see you using that kind of garbage to harm people again."

Li Yao suddenly raised her head, looking at Lu Xuan with disbelief.

"You...you're not going to cripple me?"

"I said, get out."

Lu Xuan waved his hand impatiently.

Li Yao took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Lu Xuan.

"Thank you... Senior Brother Lu for sparing my life!"

After saying that, he led his men and slunk away.

Lu Xuan put away the alchemy furnace and pills, then turned to look at Pang Dahai.

At this point, Pang Dahai was already completely in awe.

"Senior brother...you...you're practically my god!"

"If you can even refine fourth-grade pills, is there anything you can't do?"

Lu Xuan smiled but didn't say anything.

He raised his head and looked towards the distant cliffs.

There, Ye Gucheng's figure had disappeared.

"It looks like the best is yet to come."

Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze and led Pang Dahai deeper into the ocean.

……

The core area of ​​the secret realm.

This is a huge, blood-red lake. The water is so viscous that it looks like blood, and it also has a nauseating, fishy smell.

In the center of the lake, there is a solitary island.

On the island grows a small tree that is entirely blood red and emits an eerie glow.

Three fist-sized fruits, shaped like babies, hung on the tree, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Blood Infant Fruit!"
