The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 147 - Return to Refining Pills
With a wave of Qing Shan's sleeves, a gust of wind brought Niu Wei back to his feet.
Qing Shan could only sigh emotionally. Comparing the previous Niu Wei to the current one, he still preferred Niu Wei during their first meeting.
"Brother Niu..”.
"Call me Niu Wei, Young Master!"
“Alright. Niu Wei, your cultivation has almost reached the peak of the Vein Gate realm, just a little more breaking through to the Harmonious Spirit Realm. This is the Snow Pill. Take these pills and go into seclusion. I believe you can break through to the Harmonious Spirit Realm.! Said Qing Shan while taking something from the s.p.a.ce bag on his waist and taking out one pill bottle for Niu Wei.
Snow Pills were middle-class pills. The ingredients were extremely valuable, and had a heaven-defying effect. It could help cultivators of the Vein Gate tahal any peak to break through to the Harmonious Spirit Realm, though, but there were very few Pill Masters who could concoct these pills because these pill concoctions required special refining techniques.
No one in the entire Xin Country knew about this particular technique, including Elder Xue. Even in the entire Tropical World, few knew of this technique.
Looking at the pill bottle made Elder Xue interested, as if he wanted to take it to study the pill.
But after thinking about it for a while, he threw away the thought of doing so. Since this was the pill that Qing Shan had given Niu Wei, he would never want to rob her.
While Niu Wei would not have expected that such a precious pill was so easily given by Qing Shan. Such generous actions increased his respect and gratitude towards Qing Shan.
"Thank you very much for giving me this pill, Young Master!"
“Mmm.” Qing Shan slightly nodded and added after recalling something he said. “True, I will spend half a month concocting pills in this Pill Palace. If I thought, you would be able to break through to the Harmonious Spirit Realm half a month later. After that, come to this Pill Palace and meet me. I have some things that need your help. ”
The help that Qing Shan wanted Niu Wei to do was to send the pills he had made back to Demon God City..
After learning that the Skull Ghost King had been watching him, he would not return to his God City without knowing the whereabouts of the Skull Ghost King. He did not want his enemy to shift his target on his people in the City of Gods.
Niu Wei agreed to Qing Shan's request instinctively. With Qing Shan's presence in the hall of the Pill Palace, Elder Xue's cold face became lost and he smiled stiffly at Niu Wei for the first time.
"Little friend Niu did indeed have a good relationship with Elder Qing."
“Please, just call me Niu Wei, Senior! Junior is not worth calling like that!” Niu Wei replied almost at a loss for her words seeing the change of the old man in front of her.
"It's okay! I guess little friend Niu came to my Pill Palace to make pills? Come on in, this old man will open a first-rate distillery room for you!”
Elder Xue's attitude suddenly changed, but this treatment only happened to Niu Wei. The other inner sect disciples still did not allow him to use any of the rooms within the hall.
They all looked at Niu Wei with envy, even a fool could see that Elder Xue was doing this because of Qing Shan.
"This Niu Wei is really lucky to have a relationship with Elder Qing."
...
After being granted access to a third-rate refining room that had a high-level earth flame, Qing Shan was satisfied coming here.
This time, he intended to spend half a month in the pill refining room to make all the pills he needed and prepare for his people in the City of Gods.
"No, I never revealed my pill technique to anyone. He'll never know about it. But if he finds out that I am a Four Star Pill Master, will it affect him...?"
It took Qing Shan a long time to dispel the worries in his mind.
Qing Shan then checked his space storage bag and took out the Black Dragon Cauldron. With a flick of his fingertips, all sorts of thousand-year-old spiritual plants appeared before him.
Every spiritual plant was thrown into the cauldron. After a while, a medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Third-rate earth flames had to be dealt with with great care because even a Gold Realm expert could be killed by these flames if careless. But with the Devil Flame that Qing Shan possessed, the earth flame was subdued completely.
Qing Shan's seclusion in making pills would last for half a month, Elder Xue was still faithfully guarding the outdoors that Qing Shan used like a statue.
From time to time, he would stretch out his nose to sniff and each time he would have a different surprise and expression.
"This is the Dragon Pill..!"
"Uhhh.. This was the peak of the Golden Pill...!"
"Eh...? What is this smell? This is another high grade Pill ... It smelled like a pill specially made to protect the meridians of cultivators....!"
"Wait-wait...! This is the Regeneration Pill.!"
"This pill can also cure women. Hehe, this Qing Elder is truly very moral. I wonder where he will use this pill...!"
"M-impossible! I have no doubt about this smell! This is the Yin Lightning Pill! The old man only saw this in the ancient relic book!"
"This item ... this!"
................................!
Anyone would admit that Elder Xue indeed had a strong and sensitive sense of smell. He was able to deduce the pill refining process that Qing Shan had made just by smelling the scent of the pill.
In his heart, he had concluded that Qing Shan was a Four Star Alchemist Master and this time, he was ninety percent sure about it.
This was because none of the Three Star Alchemist Masters possessed the speed and pill refining special techniques that Qing Shan possessed. Even the Four Star Alchemist Master he had met before lacked the speed and success rate of the celerti refining Qing Shan had done. And because of this, his mind could not calm down and think of Qing Shan's identity.
Fortunately, Elder Xue was not interested in Qing Shan's identity. What attracted him was the pill refining technique and where Qing Shan learned it from.
As Elder Xue was still waiting outside the room, formation lights flickered. After half a month of waiting, the door of the room opened in a loud voice. Qing Shan walked out of the third grade pill refining room, his body was filled with a medicinal scent.
Half a month of refining pills without restorations had made him tired, but his strength had slightly increased during that process while his Qi-still was as stable as before.
After exiting the room, Qing Shan cupped his fists to Elder Xue to thank him then turned around and left, but Elder Xue caught him by the sleeves.
