Chapter 1136: Insights of Immortal-Level Alchemy and Becoming a Guest Elder

Editor: Henyee Translations

At a certain moment, under Jiang Chengxuan’s full concentration, the various medicinal liquids finally completed their fusion within the Three Saints Furnace.

A perfectly round pill embryo, faintly visible amidst the tri-colored immortal flames of the furnace, began to emit an extraordinary aura of Dao rules.

Strange waves of energy burst forth inside the furnace, repeatedly passing through the tri-colored flames and striking the furnace walls, creating resonating vibrations in the air.

This sudden change made Jiang Chengxuan’s expression tighten. He immediately unleashed all his immortal power, channeling it into the Three Saints Furnace.

In an instant, the three massive pill furnaces emitted a mysterious immortal glow, illuminating the alchemy chamber as if it were broad daylight.

The power of the quasi-immortal treasures manifested, suppressing the intense waves emitted by the ninth-level pill.

A ninth-level pill already possesses a semblance of spirit. It instinctively resists the burning of the pill flames and the confinement of the furnace, disrupting the alchemist’s control.

Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan was well aware of this and had prepared accordingly, so no unexpected issues arose.

After all, this was his first time refining a ninth-level pill on his own. This underscores the importance of having a master and a proper lineage in alchemy.

Without Elder Honglie’s prior experience, Jiang Chengxuan’s first attempt at refining a ninth-level pill, even if successful, wouldn’t have been so smooth.

“Phew, now it’s just a matter of letting the pill slowly take shape…” Having overcome the most challenging step, Jiang Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing a mix of joy and fatigue.

He rested briefly to recover some energy before continuing to steadily infuse immortal power into the Three Saints Furnace, refining the pill further.

Under the seemingly endless burning of the tri-colored flames, Jiang Chengxuan finally sensed a strange energy surging within the furnace.

His face lit up with excitement, and without hesitation, he channeled his Dao rules, making the flames within the Three Saints Furnace blaze intensely, forcefully lifting the furnace lid.

A fragrant aroma, soothing to the heart and mind, wafted out. Soon after, a perfectly round pill, glowing with immortal light, rose into the air.

It traced a path like a colorful comet, landing in Jiang Chengxuan’s palm. Amidst the hazy immortal glow and the rich medicinal fragrance, the awaited system notification finally sounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host, for achieving the feat of independently refining a ninth-level pill]

[Reward: Immortal-Level Alchemy Insights]

Immortal-Level Alchemy Insights!

These words echoed in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind like thunder, causing him to laugh heartily and silently exclaim three times, “Excellent!” After spending several centuries completing this task, the system’s powerful reward did not disappoint him in the slightest. It seemed that the system intended to support Jiang Chengxuan on the path of becoming an immortal alchemist.

For Jiang Chengxuan, nothing could be more valuable than these Immortal-Level Alchemy Insights at this moment.

Over the centuries, he had absorbed Elder Honglie’s techniques and experiences, integrating them into his own understanding. Now, these Immortal-Level Alchemy Insights would fill the remaining gaps.

“Congratulations, congratulations, Chengxuan, on becoming a ninth-level alchemist!” Elder Honglie’s voice suddenly came from behind, clearly having returned just in time to witness Jiang Chengxuan holding the ninth-level pill.

“Thank you, thank you. I owe it all to your generous teachings over these centuries.” Jiang Chengxuan smiled lightly, expressing his gratitude.

His rapid progress to becoming a ninth-level alchemist owed much to Elder Honglie’s guidance. Over the centuries, they had developed a deep bond, almost like friends despite the age difference.

Elder Honglie couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. Jiang Chengxuan’s talent was truly exceptional, making even him feel inadequate.

In just a few centuries, Jiang Chengxuan’s daily progress had been astonishing. Now, in such a short period, Jiang Chengxuan’s alchemical skills had reached his level. This was truly a case of the student surpassing the master.

In reality, Elder Honglie hadn’t directly taught Jiang Chengxuan much. He simply hadn’t hidden anything during their alchemical endeavors.

He knew that with Jiang Chengxuan’s talent, such a day would come eventually. It was better to push him along and build goodwill. However, he hadn’t expected Jiang Chengxuan’s alchemical talent to exceed his expectations.

“Chengxuan, your alchemical talent is something I’ve rarely seen in my life. Would you be willing to join our Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild, even as a guest elder?” Elder Honglie finally asked after a moment of contemplation, offering an olive branch.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Chengxuan remained calm, having anticipated this moment.

Hearing the proposal of becoming a guest elder, he made his decision and replied, “It would be my honor to serve as a guest elder at the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild.”

“Excellent! Excellent!” Elder Honglie was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. This plan had been thoroughly considered by Jiang Chengxuan.

If he joined as a full elder, other elders might feel threatened, given his relatively short time at the guild despite his high talent and capability.

Joining as a guest elder, however, would avoid such conflicts, allowing him to integrate smoothly without causing undue concern.

“As a guest elder, you only need to refine pills for the guild periodically. I will announce this great news to the other elders and disciples shortly!” Elder Honglie arranged everything quickly, leaving Jiang Chengxuan with a smile and a sense of ease.

Soon after, Elder Honglie gathered the other elders and all the disciples in a grand hall, announcing Jiang Chengxuan’s new status as a guest elder.

The news shocked the guild’s disciples, but when they learned of Jiang Chengxuan’s ability to refine ninth-level pills, their hearts were filled with respect and awe.
