Chapter 696: Chapter 444 Pill Lead_2

They were first curious, but then seemed to think of something.

During the Myriad Realms Epoch trials, a total of three Ark Controllers were selected.

The Artisan God was one of them.

Another was an inheritor who controlled through the way of tools.

Strangely, that person’s name was known by very few.

But one thing was certain, that person came from Vast Wilderness!

Hiss—

Thinking of this, the crowd gasped again.

The Laozi from Vast Wilderness was already skilled in the way of tools, and now he had such an accomplishment in Alchemy Dao.

And that person’s Alchemy Dao was also this strong?

Had the Alchemy Dao of Vast Wilderness become so powerful?

Soon, it was another ninety-nine days.

The cauldron that was previously surrounded by the yin and yang energies now saw these energies become particularly thin, and the Great Paths had also dimmed.

The difference was, the Great Path that had just started to appear behind Laozi had already enveloped the cauldron.

"The pill is complete!" Artisan God murmured.

In these days, he had been watching intently; during Laozi’s alchemy, he had actually gained quite a bit of insight.

Then, as if to confirm Artisan God’s words,

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The cauldron began to tremble violently, continuously shaking.

"Boom!"

Another explosive sound was heard, and the lid of the cauldron flipped open again.

A blinding halo of light illuminated the entire Earth Immortal Realm of Vast Wilderness.

Within the realm, golden lotuses were born, celestial music played, and numerous phenomenal signs appeared.

Then all these phenomena stalled, and all the light gathered again towards the center of the cauldron.

All eyes also converged there.

There, was a round and plump Pill Medicine!

Although this Pill Medicine was in a more commonly seen golden color,

it had several black patterns on it, intermittently emitting an aura of annihilation and destruction.

If one observed carefully, they would find that these auras were exactly the same as those that previously emanated from Hei Kui.

"Nine patterns... nine patterns... Nine Revolutions Golden Pill..."

At this moment, a cry of astonishment came from Artisan God’s mouth, as if he had seen something incredible.

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

In the chaos, there was also talk of a pill completion in nine revolutions.

An existence capable of making a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could be considered an Alchemy Master.

And the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill also had different grades.

This grading is determined by the patterns on the Golden Pill.

A Nine Patterned Nine Revolutions Golden Pill will have nine patterns,

Indeed, it is the best among Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.

Such a Golden Pill, even Artisan God was unable to craft.

The best alchemy record of Artisan God was crafting a Golden Pill with seven and a half patterns.

Seven pill patterns, plus one pattern that was faint, hence seven and a half.

It was this seven and a half Patterned Golden Pill that made Artisan God the most renowned Alchemy Master in the entirety of chaos.

Clearly, crafting an Eight Patterned Nine Revolutions Golden Pill would surpass the Artisan God, making one the premier Alchemy Master in chaos.

Initially, Artisan God had thought, he admitted Laozi was stronger than him, but he thought that at most Laozi could craft a Golden Pill with eight patterns.

That would have already been incredible.

But seeing the nine patterns on the Golden Pill, he was starting to fray.

Nothing else, a Nine Patterned Golden Pill could only be crafted by beings of the Supreme Realm.

But this Laozi, it was needless to think that he absolutely could not be a Supreme.

To be able to craft a Pill Medicine that only a Supreme could craft with a non-Supreme body was entirely breaking a limit.

That is why Artisan God was so astonished.

Not just Artisan God, even the surrounding Supremes were also caught in surprise and amazement.

Perhaps they were not very proficient in the Alchemy Dao, but they still possessed the necessary common sense.

"A nine-patterned, nine-revolution Golden Core, such a pill, I never thought I’d see someone successfully refine it in the Myriad Realms Epoch!" exclaimed the Supreme of the Spirit Realm.

"This Laozi, just what virtues and abilities does he possess!" Even the Supreme of the Blue Waves felt the same.

Alchemists were a revered profession throughout the chaos.

Even Supremes sometimes had to seek out alchemists.

A nine-patterned, nine-revolution alchemist could already meet the alchemic needs of a Supreme.

Just one step away, they could breakthrough and refine the legendary Supreme Pill of Tenth Grade.

The Supreme Pill of Tenth Grade was utterly legendary.

"This pill is nine-patterned; this is the first time I’ve seen a nine-patterned Golden Core in all my life," someone lamented as they watched the pill continuously spinning in Laozi’s furnace.

"If we say that Laozi is the foremost figure in the Alchemy Dao of chaos, I doubt anyone would disagree! It’s just that I don’t know what effects this pill actually has."

He wasn’t the only one; nearly everyone was curious.

What effects could this pill have?

After all, a nine-revolution, nine-patterned pill was no small gimmick.

At that moment, the pill above the furnace gathered all the rosy light around it, and once the light had completely gathered, the color of the nine-revolution, nine-patterned Golden Core faded, but its nine lines became even deeper.

"My Alchemy Dao is accomplished. Today, taking the Saint Emperor as a guide and refining this pill, achieving a nine-revolution, nine-patterned form does not disgrace the name of the Vast Wilderness," Laozi declared, standing in the void with a faint smile on his face.

"May I ask my fellow Daoist, what effects does this nine-patterned pill have?"

Beneath the arena, someone finally couldn’t hold back any longer and asked the question on everyone’s mind.

Laozi chuckled lightly.

"This pill is the result of my enlightened understanding of the Laws of Ancestral Martial as a Cultivation Pill. Using a creature as a guide, it gathers all the strength, laws, and even the Great Path insights of a powerful being from their life into this tiny pill."

He then employed a special method to harvest the air of nine heavens to thoroughly seal those elements within the pill."

As he spoke, Laozi paused slightly.

"This pill has only one effect: the user will fully inherit all of the strength and even the Great Path insights of the pill’s guide... "

Gasps!!!

As Laozi’s voice faded, nearly everyone was on the verge of madness.

They even began to doubt their own ears.

The effects of this pill, were they really so miraculous?

It could truly inherit all the strength of the pill’s guide?

The pill’s guide was the peak-Saint Emperor Hei Kui; by consuming it, could one become as strong as Hei Kui?

This was truly enough to drive almost everyone completely mad.

It was the very definition of skyrocketing to the heavens in one step.

"May I ask my fellow Daoist, if a King were to consume this pill, could he also fully inherit the power of Hei Kui?" someone else inquired eagerly.

Their gaze towards the pill turned increasingly fervent.

"In theory, yes, but the pill contains such great power that if an ordinary Saint King were to consume it, they would likely explode, and their True Spirit would vanish. However, if a Saint Emperor consumes it, there would be no problems at all.

But, there’s one drawback; although it inherits the strength and laws of the guide, there’s a great possibility that one might not be able to progress any further."

Laozi’s words brought some rationality back to those powerhouses.

Even so, it remained incredibly enticing.

In the Myriad Realms, although many possess exceptional talents, how many could reach the level of Hei Kui?

Even among Saint Emperors, there are different levels of power.

Hei Kui was undoubtedly a top-tier Saint Emperor.

Countless creatures would not reach such heights in their entire lives.

Thus, their gaze upon this pill remained numerous and intense...

Laozi’s expression remained calm; the sole reason he pursued such a path in alchemy was to aid the Vast Wilderness.

In terms of top-tier combatants, the Vast Wilderness actually lacked none.

Those top-tier Innate Gods and Demons, who didn’t possess immense potential and could achieve limitless feats in the future.

For example, Houtu, Nu Wa, the two Golden Crows, and even his own two brothers...

Therefore, Laozi felt that strengthening his own power wouldn’t help the Vast Wilderness much.

So, he studied the method of Spirit Guiding Instruments and explored the Path of Pill Medicine using creatures as guides.

A single Golden Pill that encapsulated the essence of a creature within could elevate the weak to realms unimaginable in a single step.

This could massively produce strong warriors, create a backbone of force, and use enemies’ resources to strengthen oneself.

Most importantly, he could not only offer this pill medicine to the creatures of the Vast Wilderness but also trade it for resources.

And within the pill, he also left a measure of control, ensuring that those who consumed the pill would ultimately be controlled by him.
