Chapter 743 – A Talented Person (2/2)

The greater the alchemist, the more valuable the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill meant to him. Jiang Chen had generously taken out a Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill and the Nine Solar Saint Water. This gift was just too great and too big. Dan King was a Fifth Grade Minor Saint. If he could obtain the benefits of the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill, it wouldn’t take long for him to advance to the Sixth Grade Minor Saint.

“Chen Er, this gift is too expensive.”

Dan King sounded slightly afraid to accept the gift.

“We are a family from now on. Don’t be too polite towards me. By the way, I have something that needs father’s help.”

Without giving the Dan King a chance to explain, he straightaway brought the pill and water to Dan King’s hands.

Dan King didn’t try to argue any further and kept the treasures.

“In that case father will keep it. What condition do you want me to fulfil? Speak out, father will definitely promise you.”

Dan King said in a solemn tone.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile. What he needed was this sentence from the Dan King, or else he didn’t know how to get the Mulberry Divine Tree.

“Young master is able to concoct the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill and it was enough to prove your skill in alchemy. I have recently encountered some problems in concocting pills. Does young master mind to enlighten me?”

An elder said. Everyone understood this elder’s action. Besides his sincerity to get an answer to the problem, he also wanted to test him. In their point of view, Jiang Chen’s ability to concoct the Nine Solar Lightning-Dragon pill was wholly dependent on the heavenly tribulation and that wouldn’t tell his true skill in alchemy.

“Please say elder.”

Jiang Chen smiled and said. He didn’t know what this old man want, but he understood that this old man had spent half of his lifetime trying to solve some problems because this was something very common. If their doubts would be resolved, it would greatly benefit them in their cultivation or in pill concoction, they could achieve many things once they saw the light.

Jiang Chen could use this chance to help the elder and repay his kindness to Dan King in advance.The most important thing for him now was for them to realize his ability and talent. Alchemists would naturally respect another alchemist. Soon, even Dan King would need to respect him. At that time, his plan to acquire the Mulberry Divine Tree would be smooth sailing.

“I have been doing some research about the Golden Soul Pill. This pill is extremely hard to concoct because the herbs were needed to be combined together with the Tai Yi essence of gold. Tai Yi essence of gold is used for refining items which is the total opposite of concocting. Plus, the Tai Yi essence of gold is so hard to melt and is very difficult to mix with the herbs of the pill. It made me doubt the recipe of the Golden Soul Pill, maybe it was fake, but this pill had already appeared before.”

The elder said. This problem had been troubling him for a very long time.

“If my guess is not wrong, elder must be blending the fifty eight different herbs first before mixing it with the Tai Yi essence of gold right?”

Jiang Chen smiled.

After hearing this comment, everyone fixed their gaze on him, including the Dan King, their facial expression changed once again. Golden Soul Pill was a rarely seen pill, but Jiang Chen could determine that it needed fifty eight different herbs to concoct it. Hence, this was enough to prove that Jiang Chen really had the knowledge and skill in alchemy.

“That’s right.”

The elder nodded.

“You have made some mistakes. The herbs and the Tai Yi essence of gold can never be combined together. There is a herb named Golden Silk Cassia. This herb isn’t a very popular one. It isn’t the most expensive herb among the fifty eight herbs and would always be neglected. However, the Golden Silk Cassia is a must to have in order to combine the Tai Yi essence of gold.”

Jiang Chen paused for a moment and continued, “Thus, the first step to concoct the Golden Soul Pill was to extract the essence of the Golden Silk Cassia and mix it with the Tai Yi essence of gold. At this point, the Tai Yi essence of gold will pose no problems in mixing with the other herbs. And the other fifty seven herbs would be perfectly blended with it, without any resistance. Finally, the Golden Soul Pill would be created.”

“Wah!”

As Jiang Chen’s words faded, a commotion resounded throughout the hall, especially the elder who asked the question. His eyes were sparkling with a brilliant light. That was an answer that could awaken a sleeping person. These few simple sentences of Jiang Chen made him feel like he had seen the light in the darkness.
