Chapter 1023: Chapter 719: 10 Million Avatars

Time flies, and three years quietly pass.

Shen Xuan resides on Jingsword Island, living a reclusive life.

In the eyes of the Zhang Family cultivators, this mysterious Pill Master Shen is like the lingering mist on the island, always shrouded in legend.

He has rooted here, focusing solely on alchemy and private cultivation, his footsteps never leaving Jingsword Island.

Those who can visit him on the island are few and far between.

Gu Xiaoyao, Zhang Shifan and his wife, Zhang Family’s pill masters Zhang Zehua and Zhang Zezhong, along with the clan leader Zhang Shixiu.

Besides them, there are no outsiders.

Of course, Shen Xuan does not remain confined to the island.

He often disguises himself and leaves the island quietly, without anyone noticing.

He doesn’t visit many places; apart from a hidden valley, his most frequent destination is Myriad Phenomena Immortal City.

Shen Xuan, taking on various disguises, frequents major Commerce Alliance shops, cautiously acquiring materials for Tier Three puppets.

The Class A Guest Token from the Zhang Commerce Alliance is placed high on a shelf, never used.

There’s no need to leave a traceable consumption record for a mere discount.

Shen Xuan suspects that his deeds aboard the Commerce Alliance spaceship spread through certain channels.

In his view, the cultivation realm is filled with profit-driven traitors.

Faced with substantial gains, many cultivators would sell even their close relatives, not to mention a stranger like him.

After three years, the Zhang Family on Phoenix Perch Mountain and surrounding cultivation forces are aware of a remarkable Tier Three Alchemist serving the Zhang Family.

Resident on Jingsword Island, pill masters Zhang Zehua and Zhang Zezhong’s reverence and worship towards Shen Xuan border on devout.

In their eyes, Shen Xuan’s is as revered as a deity.

In alchemy, talent and comprehension are crucial.

But without guidance from a master, progress varies significantly.

Pill techniques are complex, fire control is subtle, a small mistake can lead to disaster.

Sole reliance on the Inheritance Jade Scroll makes learning arduous.

During alchemy, Shen Xuan’s casual advice becomes invaluable, opening great insights.

Not to mention years of experience gained from medicine testing, observing fire, and furnace control, precious beyond closed-door cultivation for centuries.

"Rise!"

On this day, in Jingsword Island’s alchemy room, earth fire steams, heat is intense.

Shen Xuan stands before the luminous crimson-gold pill furnace, hands forming seals, chanting lowly.

"Buzz!"

The pill furnace’s spirit pattern suddenly shines brightly, emitting a deep hum.

With the lid opening response.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two dazzling golden light spheres, possessing spiritual nature, shoot out from the furnace.

Carrying dense pill fragrance, they attempt to break through the alchemy room’s restrictions and flee.

Pills have spirits, seeking escape.

Shen Xuan’s expression remains unchanged, prepared, robe sleeve rolls, grasping in mid-air.

"Come."

An invisible force envelops the alchemy room.

The two spheres of golden light struggle momentarily, like swallows returning to their nest, obediently landing in his open palm.

The golden light fades, revealing the essence.

Two dragon eye-sized, round and flawless Golden Transformation Pills, emanating gentle gold glow.

On the pill body, intricate natural pill patterns are clear, like clouds and seals.

One pill’s patterns are intricate and numerous, with twelve lines. ℯ

The other is sparse, with only eight lines.

"Not bad luck. One furnace yields two pills, one top-grade, one good quality."

Shen Xuan’s gaze sweeps over, feeling slight happiness.

Over the past three years, he used the True Sun Flame to substitute part of the earth fire for alchemy.

With accumulated alchemy sessions, his fire control and alchemy expertise have advanced significantly.

Shen Xuan stashes the Golden Transformation Pills.

"Zehua, Zezhong. You two, take this pill off the island, and personally give it to Clan Leader Zhang. Inform the client that the pill is refined, to take as agreed."

Shen Xuan hands the medicine bottle of good quality Golden Transformation Pill with eight pill patterns to Zhang Zehua standing nearby.

"Yes! As commanded!"

Zhang Zehua respectfully receives the medicine bottle, along with Zhang Zezhong, they bow in compliance.

Looking at Shen Xuan, their gaze carries a godly reverence.

They are nominally apprentices but, in alchemy, silently regard Shen Xuan as their benefactor teacher.

Their talent for alchemy is decent, originally Tier Two Alchemists.

But before Shen Xuan, it’s like mayflies aspiring to great birds, dust gazing at mountains.

"Indeed, alchemists, especially high-tier alchemists, are the most profitable artisans in the cultivation realm."

A top-grade Golden Transformation Pill falls to him as the client is unable to bear the consequences.

In these three years, he opened the furnace for alchemy over ten times, each session lasting seventy-seven days.

In truth, much of the time was spent by the two Zhang Family pill masters watching the furnace and fanning the fire.

Shen Xuan steps in at the crucial moments.

Even so, experiences gained from refining these over ten furnaces are quite noteworthy,

especially in Golden Transformation Pill refining, he can ensure consistent success, achieving two pills per furnace, with guaranteed top-grade.

Silently, he accumulates ten top-grade Golden Transformation Pills.

Now, the reputation of Pill Master Shen, serving the Zhang Family on Phoenix Perch Mountain, spreads within certain circles.

Commissioning alchemy yields one good quality Golden Transformation Pill.

The Zhang Family receives alchemy commissions queued for three years.

This is under Shen Xuan’s clear mandate not to accept new orders.

Otherwise, orders could stretch up to ten years.

In the cultivation realm, Golden Transformation Pills, a type of realm-breaking spirit pill, are eternally in demand.

On one hand, sects intentionally control circulation to maintain advantage.

On the other hand, stable refinement and ensured pill success rates from Tier Three Alchemists are exceptionally rare, failing to meet market demand.

Phoenix Perch Mountain’s Zhang Family doesn’t extract a single Spirit Stone.

Yet, handling so many Golden Transformation Pill commissions yields connections and favors, immeasurable by Spirit Stones.
