Chapter 1965 - 1968: The Divine Seed First Manifests—Refining a Hundred Pills (Fifth Update)

"The sealed Shennong Cauldron!" At this moment, seeing Shen Qiang's Furnace Tripod which was sealed by Immortal Technique, already glowing with the azure Samadhi True Fire, all the Alchemists present widened their eyes.

It's well known in the Cultivation World, especially in the last century, it has been handled by countless Alchemists, but since no one can use it, not only was its price cheap, it often got auctioned off.

Thus, many present had used this Furnace Tripod before.

"How is this possible!" The first to stand up was the leader of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, Pan Zheng, who exclaimed with a shocked expression, "There's no reason for this, this Furnace was with me for three years, and I tried countless methods, but could never use it!"

Qin Yongquan, Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, also had eyes full of shock, "This cauldron was in Medicine King Valley for ten years, all the past Elders and I have tried, and it's completely unusable."

Upon hearing this, another reviewer from the Pill Alliance couldn't help but sigh and said, "I too have played with this cauldron before; it's unusable. It seems that all things are predetermined by heaven, and you all needn't dwell on it."

All the big figures sighed in unison upon hearing this.

However, compared to them, the other cultivators didn't care about the Furnace Tripod at all, as outsiders just enjoy the spectacle.

"It's starting. My goodness, is Shen Qiang insane? He's adding all those herbs at once; how can you distinguish them?"

"Over a thousand herbs, how can this possibly succeed!"

"My goodness, is this alchemy? Why does it look like chaotic stew!"

Everyone's eyes focused on Shen Qiang, who continuously added various herbs into the Furnace Tripod.

Compared to their shock and lack of understanding.

At this moment, Shen Qiang remained in control, maneuvering with ease.

Because, for the Medical Saint Inheritance he received from the Immortal Realm, simultaneously refining a hundred elixir pills is merely considered a minor achievement. To truly achieve mastery, one must refine over three hundred simultaneously and form all into pills, with none failing.

To reach the Grandmaster Level, one must be able to simultaneously refine five hundred elixir pills.

The Medical Saint's highest record was refining 761 elixir pills simultaneously, all perfectly formed.

Thus, what appeared utterly unimaginable to the many cultivators of the Cultivation World, was actually just an ordinary alchemical process to Shen Qiang.

"In the Immortal Realm, to reach the level of simultaneously refining a hundred Spirit Pills, one must at least have cultivation above the True Immortal Realm. Unexpectedly, the master, with his extraordinary talent, has trained for just over a year, yet already in the Mixed Element Realm, can achieve such a degree, truly an unparalleled genius!"

Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, Qingxuan watched Shen Qiang's alchemy in shock.

Meanwhile, Taiyin Youying, sitting on a branch of the Plague Source swaying her slender snow-white legs, watched Shen Qiang's madly circulating Divine Sense with intrigue and commented.

"Oh, little one, some progress has been made; the Divine Seed is vaguely awakening, the Divine Status budding, but still too weak. With such strength, defeating those ancient Divine Mansions is out of the question; there's not even the qualification to contend with them, so... grow quickly, Shen Qiang, don't let me down!"

Yet at this moment, Shen Qiang, engaged in elixir pill refinement, was entirely unaware of how astonishingly strong his Divine Sense was. Instead, due to the first time using such a massive amount of Divine Sense, he felt a sense of unparalleled exhilaration.

"Hmm, the distinctions among the materials for 131 elixir pills are very clear; different melting points, different timings, require more subtle control with Divine Sense!"

"Divine Sense is abundant, hmm, although controlling the refinement of thousands of herbs at once, there's some operational delay.

"Hmm, a tiniest error can cause a thousand-mile deviation. Simultaneously refining 131 elixir pills indeed results in a millisecond delay in precise control, which can affect the pills' quality."

"There's no choice at such a critical moment, can't fail, activate precision!"

Shen Qiang's eyes suddenly brightened.

Then, everyone present clearly felt that Shen Qiang, not only showed immense concentration, but that faintly discernible Dragon Breath was quietly unleashed, causing everyone present to feel an inexplicable pressure.

"Has the True Body manifested? Shen Qiang truly is a demon! Such astonishing aura, there's no way it belongs to a cultivator of the Mixed Element Realm!" Baili Qingyu, acting Sect Leader of Kunlun Sword Sect, gazed coldly.

The Golden Dome Resident of Emei Sword Sect also coolly watched Shen Qiang; "Impartial and harmonious, unrivaled majesty. An innate sense of nobility emanates from Shen Qiang, making me inexplicably think of dragons. It seems the rumors are true; the reason Shen Qiang's talent defies the heavens is because he used the Dragon's Essence Foundation Establishment!"

"Amitabha!" In the corner of the gym, the host of the Seventy-two Ancient Temples, Master Jingwu, who had been sitting with closed eyes, suddenly opened them, not only shining brightly, looking nothing like an old man, but showing complete lack of a high master's demeanor in his eyes.

"Dragon, that is the soul of Huaxia, the legendary being with supreme power and fortune, thus all emperors claimed to be Dragon species, but that's merely self-deception. Shen Qiang's aura is incredibly similar to the Divine Mansion's relic Dragon Scale!"

"This is no longer just using the Essence Soul Foundation Establishment; it's clearly Shen Qiang already merged with the Divine Dragon's bloodline, hence the invincible kingly majesty!"

Master Jingwu's eyes were full of shock.

Meanwhile, watching Shen Qiang refining the elixir pills, his aura perfectly steady, the leaping Samadhi True Fire danced nimbly like piano keys; everyone present couldn't hold back their exclamations.

"Such exquisite Fire Control Technique, although I'm not an Alchemist, techniques are interconnected, and just this Fire Control alone surpasses me greatly."

"Such powerful Divine Sense, thousands of Samadhi True Fire blossoms, complex yet orderly under willful control; in this aspect alone, it's feared that even Harmonization Stage Lord Chi Yan cannot match him!"

"How is this possible? To control fire intricately requires Divine Sense; how strong must one's Divine Sense be to accomplish this?"

Everyone's eyes were full of shock, staring endlessly at Shen Qiang's alchemy, completely unaware of the passage of time.

Gradually, the fire dwindled. From several thousand burning flames, it turned into hundreds, and quickly decreased.

Everyone suddenly awakened.

"Has the elixir refinement ended? Has he succeeded?"

Someone glanced at their watch; "Just half an hour, in such a short time, it's impossible to refine pills successfully; Shen Qiang failed, it must be such!"

Hearing those words, many challengers were instantly ecstatic.

"We've won, Shen Qiang lost; my elixir pills need at least five hours for completion, half an hour, there's no possibility of success!"

"Won, a billion assets in hand!"

"Hmph, karma! Shen Qiang, so impressive, taking so many beautiful fairies away; now your time to apologize has arrived!"

In the midst of the crowd's thrilled beast-like cries, the fire in Shen Qiang's Pill Furnace rapidly extinguished.

A bit perplexed by the challenger's enthusiastic cheers, the pert young girl Abbi nervously said, "Impossible, how can alchemy be this quick, did he really lose?"

But at that moment, as the flames dissipated, an exotic fragrance spread from the Furnace Tripod in front of Shen Qiang.
