“Wow, it’s actually the legendary Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls!”

When Qin Chen heard the notification, he could not help but be shocked.

This was because Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls was not an ordinary alchemy scroll. It was a secret scroll left behind by an ancient great emperor named the Great Alchemy Emperor.

During the primordial era, the Great Alchemy Emperor was known as the number one alchemist in the history of alchemy. The pills he refined were even rumored to be able to resurrect ancient great emperors.

However, after the Great Alchemy Emperor passed away, he left behind Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls, which were coveted by countless people. Later on, the alchemy holy land was almost wiped out and almost lost all its heritage. Although it was preserved, it was said that several scrolls of Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls had been seized. Therefore, it was incomplete.

There was no doubt that the system’s products were of the highest quality. The Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls that Qin Chen had obtained were definitely the complete version.

Even though he had obtained the corresponding alchemy technique before, his alchemy technique had only reached level nine at that time, which meant that he could only refine ninth-grade holy pills at most. He could not even refine tenth-grade holy pills.

Right now, the Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls were precious secret alchemy technique scrolls left behind by an ancient great emperor. As long as he could cultivate it successfully, it would be equivalent to having all the alchemy techniques of that ancient great emperor.

“As expected of the thirty-three ancient great emperors, it’s not simple at all. Although it’s not as powerful as the first time I obtained the heavenly-emperor-grade supernormal knowledge of Thirty-three Heavens from a venerable sovereign, it’s still not bad. After obtaining the alchemy technique of a great alchemy emperor, I’ll be able to refine more pills with less effort and have a much easier time.” Qin Chen had been in this world for many years and had also stayed in Great Qin Dynasty for half a year. As time passed, he gradually understood how important an alchemist was to this world. It was an extremely noble profession.

Even sixth-grade alchemists were already part of the immortal heritages, so people were really polite to them and respected them a lot.

A seventh-grade alchemist could be called a pill king. There were not many of them in the world, and all the immortal heritages wanted to fight for them.

Eighth-grade alchemists were known as pill venerables. They were even rarer than Bahuang Venerables, and their status was even higher than the Venerables.

As for ninth-grade alchemists, they were called pill saints. They were so rare that even during the prosperous primordial era, there were not many pill saints.

At the very least, in this era, Qin Chen had never heard of any other ninth-grade alchemists who were pill saints other than himself.

The Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls turned into a massive amount of information and entered Qin Chen’s mind. It took him four hours to gradually accept this massive amount of information with his current level of the sage realm and his consciousness computing speed that was comparable to the supercomputers of the earth civilization.

There was so much information contained within The Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. After all, they were the legacy of an ancient great emperor, and it was about all the knowledge of alchemy.

Of course, it was only acceptance, but it did not mean that Qin Chen had completely mastered Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. It was just like how he had mastered many emperor-grade techniques, even heavenly emperor-grade techniques, but he could not directly climb to the peak of the creation stage. He had to slowly digest it himself.

Even so, after spending half a month to understand the scrolls, Qin Chen had made great progress in alchemy.

Originally, with his own alchemy skills, he could only refine ninth-grade pills at most, and the success rate was less than 30%.

But now, he had slowly digested some of Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. It was enough for him to refine tenth-grade pills, and his success rate could reach an astonishing 50%.

Even in the primordial era, when the alchemy world was at its peak and there were a lot of alchemists, there were only a few of them who could refine a tenth-grade pill with a fifty percent success rate.

This was also thanks to Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls, which was left behind by the Great Alchemy Emperor’s lifetime of experience in alchemy. They could be said to be the number one secret scrolls in alchemy since ancient times. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Qin Chen to achieve such attainments.

Of course, he could only refine pills of a higher level. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Qin Chen was, he wouldn’t be able to refine an eleventh-level Supreme Sage pill.

“Since I’ve been at a bottleneck recently, I’ll make a few pills to improve my cultivation.” Qin Chen then got started. Over the years, he had obtained too many treasures, including some top-notch medicinal herbs. Under such circumstances, he took out a pitch-black medicinal cauldron that he had obtained from checking in. The side of the cauldron was inlaid with a statue of a dancing pitch-black Phoenix.

Medicinal cauldrons, as the name suggested, were special cauldrons for alchemists to refine medicinal pills. They could greatly enhance the effects of the pill refinement.

This cauldron was called Black Phoenix Cauldron and was rumored to be ranked 13th among the 36 cauldrons on the medicinal cauldron ranking. Its effects were much higher than ordinary cauldrons and during the primordial era, it was a treasure that countless alchemists crazily fought for.

He took out Black Phoenix Cauldron and spat out a wisp of divine fire that was flowing with chaotic light into the cauldron.

The Chaotic Divine Fire was an original Divine Fire that Qin Chen had refined after he reached Jiutian Sage. It contained the myriad characteristics of the sacred body of chaos and could assimilate all the daos in the world.

The moment the Chaotic Divine Fire fell, Black Phoenix Cauldron was no longer as black as ink. It gradually turned red, and the black Phoenix on the cauldron wall gradually became colorful. It was like a real undying Phoenix that was about to spread its wings and fly.

Qin Chen smoothly threw all the top-notch herbs that could be exchanged for tens of thousands of catties of spirit stones into the Black Phoenix Cauldron.

At this time, with the help of the Chaotic Divine Fire, Qin Chen refined the precious herbs into liquid. Then, he began to slowly refine a level 10 Sage King pill named Sage breakthrough pill according to Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls.

The process was cumbersome, but to Qin Chen, it was very easy, as if he was born with it.

After a day and night of refining, finally, under Qin Chen’s superb alchemy skills, the pill began to slowly take shape. Finally, with a loud bang, a blazing light beam shot up into the sky from Black Phoenix Cauldron and hit the clouds above.

Boom!

As the pill took shape, its fragrance filled the air, and a vast, pitch-black tribulation cloud appeared in the sky.

It was the tribulation cloud.

This was because this pill was the legendary tenth-grade Sage King pill. The moment the pill took form, heaven and earth would send down a pill tribulation.

Only after passing the pill tribulation could the pill be completely formed.

If it couldn’t overcome the pill tribulation, this Sage King pill would also be destroyed.

The appearance of the pill tribulation naturally shocked everyone in Taiyi Holy Land. They looked in that direction in shock, but everyone there knew that it must be Elder King.

Furthermore, the fragrance of the pill came. Elder King must be refining pills.

BOOM!

At this moment, Qin Chen soared into the sky and appeared above the pill tribulation. Around the brewing pill tribulation, terrifying tribulation lightning appeared one after another. There were tens of thousands of them, no less than an ordinary great tribulation of Holy path.

However, after ten years of cultivation, Qin Chen’s cultivation was no longer the same as before. Now that he saw the pill tribulation appearing in the sky, he snorted coldly and waved Heavenly Desolation Emperor Fist, directly bombarding the majestic tribulation clouds. With a loud boom, a huge hole was punched through the Tribulation clouds, showing his unparalleled cultivation.

“Oh my God, Elder King actually pierced a huge hole in the Tribulation cloud!”

“In this world, other than Elder King, how many people would dare to punch the Tribulation cloud!”

“Elder King is indeed unfathomable. He only reached Jiutian Sage ten years ago. Ten years later, he seems to have become even stronger!”

“As expected of a Jiutian Sage. Elder Wang is really strong. I wonder when we’ll be able to catch him. ”

“Don’t think too much about it. Our goal shouldn’t be too high. Let’s reach Qiyao first. The realm of Elder King is too far for us!”

Many elders and disciples were shocked to see Elder King punch through the Tribulation clouds. They could not help but be fascinated. However, when they thought of Elder King’s realm, they could only look up to it.

Jiutian was really powerful. Many talented people in the world had been trapped before Bahuang. Even the masters of the immortal heritages, the emperors of the immortal divine dynasty, the Holy Lords of ancient holy lands, and the family heads of ancient families had been trapped before Bahuang. They had been unable to break through and had been unable to move forward.

It was Jiutian, which was above Bahuang. It was a heavenly barrier that could not be crossed.

It was for this reason that all the elders and disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land worshipped Elder King. It was amazing that Elder King could reach Jiutian Sage in this ending age of the extinct Holy path.

It was impossible for Qin Chen to know what these elders and disciples were thinking. He was focused on resisting the terrifying pill tribulations. Naturally, the Sage King pill was completely protected by him. Even if the pill tribulations were comparable to ordinary Holy path heavenly tribulations, which could not be broken through. After all, Qin Chen was not an ordinary Sage.

He shattered the thick pill tribulations one after another before sending the essence of the Tribulation into the Sage King pill, causing the Sage King pill to gradually show a different kind of spirit.

This was also a necessary process in refining pills above the ninth grade. It required the baptism of the pill tribulation to add a bit of spirituality to the pills above the ninth grade. Only then would they have better medicinal effects.

Now, Qin Chen was doing that. However, he had skipped the process of refining the pill and dispersed the pill tribulation. The essence of the pill tribulation had directly refined the Sage King pill.

This continued for half a day before the pill tribulation gradually disappeared.

Qin Chen saw the Sage King pill, which had devoured enough of the pill tribulation’s essence, flash with spiritual light. It was as if it had a mind of its own and was about to soar into the sky at an astonishing speed, like a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, it had crossed dozens of miles and escaped into the sky.
