Chapter 784: Fall of a Martial Saint, Human Array

‘The difficulty of refining the Third Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill, is much higher than I expected!’

‘Even with the memory feedback, my ability to create Top Quality Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, and my mastery of an Alchemy Secret Technique, I still couldn’t succeed in refining it!’

Yang Chan sighed.

‘As expected, the difficulty of advancing to the Top Level is even greater than I anticipated.’

After over a month of effort, he had made no progress in refining the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill. The difficulty was far greater than when he was refining the second-level Qingli Nourishing Marrow Pill. Back then, he could at least identify various problems and improve quickly.

But now, while trying to refine the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill, he was completely stuck.

It was no wonder. Being able to refine the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill was the mark of a Top Level Pharmacist, and the difficulty had clearly multiplied. This was the case even with his many abilities assisting him.

An ordinary Pharmacist would likely be stuck at this step for their entire life, unable to advance.

‘Fortunately, during this time, I managed to refine the Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, the Green Crystal Spirit Marrow Pill and the Snow Soul Gathering Marrow Pill. They provided me with 2.5 and 1.5 Daily Potential Point Collection, respectively!’

‘My Daily Potential Point Collection has increased from 44.8 to 48.8. I’m not far from reaching 50.0!’

Even though Yang Chan failed to refine the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill, he didn’t just stubbornly focus on it. He also took the time to refine Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills.

Thanks to his improved ability in refining Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills and the memory feedback from his Pharmacist profession’s advancement, his progress with these elixirs was much smoother, and he encountered few difficulties.

He had also tried refining other Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, but they provided almost no Potential Points. After several attempts with different elixirs, he discovered that his current combination yielded the highest Daily Potential Point Collection.

Over the past month, besides attempting to refine the Third Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill, Yang Chan had continued to accumulate other elixirs. However, due to the increased demand for Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, even with his stock of Top Quality Nourishing Vein and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, the rate of consumption was becoming unsustainable.

Yang Chan had already decided to reveal his ability to refine first-level Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs.

He could already refine Perfect Level Nourishing Vein and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills before. It would be considered normal for his Alchemy Ability to have improved again after this period.

‘After all, as a Genius Pharmacist, he was expected to advance by leaps and bounds!’

“Pharmacist Yang, what do you need me to do?”

Han Bingyu asked, having arrived at Yang Chan’s residence.

This time, Yang Chan had sent someone to summon Han Bingyu back from the Spirit Medicine Tower, so she knew he must have instructions for her.

“These are Nourishing Vein and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, elixirs that assist with the first Bone Marrow Cleansing. Take them to the Spirit Medicine Tower and exchange them for the Spirit Medicines on this list.”

Yang Chan said, pointing to the elixirs and the paper on the table.

He had estimated that if things went smoothly, he should be able to properly reveal his true Alchemy Ability before he succeeded in refining a Third Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Yang Chan didn’t want to reveal everything at once. He intended to show a gradual progression, allowing outsiders to witness the speed of his advancing Alchemy Ability while simultaneously alleviating the strain on his Spirit Medicine supply.

Exchanging the elixirs for Spiritual Materials at the Spirit Medicine Tower was an excellent choice. Entrusting the task to Han Bingyu was also deliberate; she was his person, and through her, others would naturally learn of the Alchemy Ability he was intentionally revealing.

“Alright, I’ll go make the exchange right now!”

Han Bingyu replied quickly upon hearing his words.

She glanced at Yang Chan one more time, and seeing no further instructions, she took the items and left directly.

As the Earth Demons in the Demon Cave were steadily pushed back deeper into its depths, Yang Chan felt a growing sense of urgency. This was because the Merak Sacred Land had suffered considerable losses and heavy casualties during this advance.

Even Chiyu Peak had lost many people, and this was despite them having deliberately sent fewer people due to their prior experience in suppressing the Earth Demons.

The casualties from the other peaks were even more severe.

Of course, the Earth Demons were in a far worse state. Even their leader, the Lord of Earth Demons, was being relentlessly pursued deeper into the Demon Cave by the Supreme Elders of the Merak Sacred Land.

The other Earth Demon Alien Races had suffered even greater losses.

This was actually related to the discovery of another broken Bloodline Sacrifice Array deep within the Demon Cave. The Earth Demon Alien Races had been trying to repair this Grand Array, but they had not succeeded.

Only later did they turn their attention to the uppermost level of the Demon Cave, to the broken Bloodline Sacrifice Array that the Merak Saint Son had discovered.

Because of this, the Merak Sacred Land dispatched even more Supreme Elders. It was said that even the previous Saint Master and other powerful figures had taken action.

Even though the Lord of Earth Demons had a powerful Martial Arts Cultivation, reportedly approaching the Blood Exchange Peak, he was still forced to flee.

This also made Yang Chan realize that the Merak Sacred Land’s hidden strength was even greater than he had imagined.

It was impossible to identify masters at the Blood Exchange Level when they weren’t in action. Only in times of crisis could one truly witness the Sect’s profound foundation.

Although Yang Chan hadn’t personally witnessed the clash between masters of this level in the Demon Cave, the reports described a battle of cataclysmic proportions. Several Demon Caves had collapsed, burying numerous Earth Demon Alien Races within them.

The intelligence reports were spectacular, and while likely exaggerated, some details could be confirmed.

For instance, those incredibly sturdy Demon Caves had been completely obliterated in the clash between masters of this level.

The Demon Caves within the Demon Cave were formed under immense terrestrial pressure, making them as sturdy as a Famous Artifact Level weapon. Yet, before a Blood Exchange Martial Saint, they were still fragile and easily destroyed.
