Chapter 2532 - Sub-divine Elixir



Chapter 2532: Sub-divine Elixir

Next, Ye Futian began to cultivate in retreat.

West Sea Celestial Mountain did not have divine treasure or any other artifacts, but it did have a trace of will left by the ancient emperor, which was discovered and awakened by Ye Futian. This trace of will had bestowed the inheritance to Ye Futian.

In Ye Futian’s view, this was more precious than divine treasure.

In the inheritance from the will of the ancient emperor, there were cultivation techniques, alchemical methods, extremely precious alchemical recipes, and the ancient emperor’s own alchemical experience. These were divine treasures in their truest sense. The inheritance from a Great Emperor of alchemy… In Ye Futian’s view, this inheritance was way more valuable than the inheritance from many other Great Emperors. It was no wonder that it had fallen into the hands of a top alchemy master.

The divine method that Ye Futian passed on to Daoist Monk Mu before was a set of divine flame cultivation methods, which could swallow and assimilate other Flames of the Way in order to continuously strengthen oneself. This technique was called the Divine Flames of Creation. In ancient times, it was the premier divine flame cultivation method.

It was understandable that Daoist Monk Mu became quite emotional after having received this divine method. Ye Futian was not worried about the recruitment; he knew Daoist Monk Mu would complete this mission beautifully.

Moreover, on this trip, Daoist Monk Mu may also go collect some other Flames of the Way to improve his strength.

However, Ye Futian himself did not intend to cultivate this divine method. His main energy needed to be spent on alchemy.

At the Starry Cultivation Court, Ye Futian began a period of retreat for the sake of cultivation.

For the time being, all affairs on the outside had come to an end. He had made a name for himself on his trip to the West Sea Domain. What happened at Yingzhou City served as a deterrent so no forces in the Divine Prefecture would dare move on them recklessly. Furthermore, Daoist Monk Mu and Renhuang Chen—two Tribulation Plane cultivators traveling together—should be successful in their mission as long as they did not encounter giant-level figures from those top principalities.

In addition, other cultivators in Ziwei Imperial Palace were working hard to improve their strength.

Time passed, day after day, and several months passed by in a blink of an eye. Soon, Renhaung Chen and Daoist Monk Mu returned.

Not only did they come back, but they also brought back a group of alchemy masters. Back in the day when Ye Futian inherited the alchemy from the Supreme Deity Donglai on Eastern Deity Island, he met many alchemy masters; they were now also arriving here with Goddess Donglai and the Alchemy Emperor.

Renhaung Chen did not disturb Ye Futian when he saw that Ye Futian was in retreat. He understood what Ye Futian wanted to do, so he set up an Alchemy Pavilion in Ziwei Imperial Palace and appointed Daoist Monk Mu as the pavilion master. As Ziwei Imperial Palace continued to grow in strength, he planned to propose some structural revisions to Ye Futian and appoint other major cultivators to take up different positions within the organization.

On this day, above the starry cultivation court, an extremely hot current manifested. Many people looked up in the sky and could see divine flames burning. A furnace of the Great Path seemed to be inside the divine flames, and Ye Futian could be seen practicing alchemy there.

Moreover, Ye Futian had been practicing alchemy for quite some time already, but no one knew how much progress he had made by this time.

Above the firmament, aside from the radiant divine flames, a potent and strong fragrance of an elixir now wafted through the air. It diffused and filled the entire starry sky.

At this moment, an extremely oppressing aura came from above, causing all the cultivators of the starry cultivation court to look up and pay attention.

“What is happening?” Everyone’s eyes sharpened as they focused on the sky above. A powerful aura came from outside the firmament, penetrating through the starry sky. Dark clouds overtaken the starry sky, make this space incredibly oppressive.

“This…” The hearts of many powerful cultivators were beating quickly, especially Renhaung Chen and Daoist Monk Mu. They stared at the sky. This was the aura of tribulation.

“Elixir Tribulation!” Daoist Monk Mu murmured, and his eyes were filled with shock. He, who was already a cultivator of the Tribulation Plane, could not conceal the shock he felt inside.

Just like there were tribulations for cultivators, there were also Elixir Tribulations in alchemy.

But what astonished him was whether Ye Futian was able to refine elixir at this level?

The elixir that attracted the heavenly tribulation of the Great Path was known as the Sub-divine Elixir.

He had been practicing alchemy for many years. Not only had he never been able to achieve it himself, but he had never even seen anything like it before. But today, he was finally seeing it.

Just what kind of monstrous existence was Ye Futian?

“Master, what is that?” In another direction, Yang Wuqi asked his teacher, Emperor Xi, somewhat amazed in his heart. Next to him, the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng were both also present as well. They all looked up yonder as they experienced the aura of the tribulation.

“Elixir Tribulation. Ye Futian has refined Sub-divine elixir,” Emperor Xi said. Even as knowledgeable as he was, it was the first time he saw the Elixir Tribulation with his own eyes.

The things that Ye Futian was capable of were simply too stunning.

Wasn’t this going against the laws of nature?

As the world was undergoing drastic changes at the moment, such an enchanting figure as he would probably become a major player in this troubled world, one of the major players.

The changes of heaven and earth originating in the Original Realm were no vain predicament.

Nowadays, the Original Realm was already rewriting the history of the world.

Hua Jieyu, Zhuge Mingyue, Gu Dongliu, and the others all looked up at what was happening before them. Ye Futian’s return this time would mean another metamorphosis for the Ziwei Segmentum.

The coercion became greater and stronger as the aura of tribulation descended. A terrible rumbling sound was heard, and a light of tribulation came from outside the sky, directly blasting above Ye Futian. There, a bright and brilliant pill was welcoming the light of tribulation, and it exploded with an incredibly splendid divine brilliance.

Boom… The tribulation descended, baptizing and impacting the pill, but did not blast it into pieces.

“The tribulation of alchemy is a little different from the tribulation of the cultivators,” Emperor Xi murmured to himself. But this was to be expected. It was alchemy, after all.

Boom! Elixir Tribulation descended successively, blasting on that pill again and again. Everyone counted to themselves each time the blast came down, and their hearts throbbed with each descendant of the Elixir Tribulation.

Finally, the Elixir Tribulation gradually dissipated after ten consecutive light of tribulation. The divine light that illuminated from the pill was even more radiant and dazzling.

“Success.” Ye Futian raised his head to look at the pill. After working so hard for so many days, he had finally produced the first Sub-divine Elixir.

Wisps of aura shrouded the pill as Ye Futian swept it towards him. He reached out and grabbed it, a big smile on his face.

Shenyuan Pill, Grade Ten.

In the ancient emperor’s inheritance, Shenyuan Pill was a legendary elixir. Shenyuan Pill was said to have a total of 12 grades. Shenyuan Pill of Grade 12 was an elixir at the Imperial Level already. Grade Ten and Grade 11 were at the level of Sub-divine elixirs.

According to legend, there was even a Grade 13 Shenyuan Pill. But even the ancient emperor would not know whether this was true or not.

However, these concerns were still a little distant from Ye Futian at the moment, as he had no time to think that far ahead. It was a rare feat to be able to produce Shenyuan Pill of the Tenth Grade.

Only one—that’s not enough to share. And a Shenyuan Pill alone may not necessarily be enough, Ye Futian thought as he put away the pill. Fortunately, he had collected enough medicinal plants on the celestial island this time. Any one of those medicinal plants traded in the outside world would be a rare treasure, invaluable and priceless.

But to refine the elixir of the topmost quality, only the most precious medicinal plants could be used.

At a time like this, he couldn’t afford to be stingy.

Ye Futian continued to work on the pills and elixirs, so everyone went about doing their own things again. However, it was hard to calm themselves down for a long time afterward.

At the same time, some hopes and expectations sparked within them.

However, this shock seemed to have just begun. In the next few months, as they cultivated under constant tribulation, they frequently encountered Elixir Tribulations. Gradually, they got accustomed to seeing them.

They knew that Ye Futian was massively producing a large amount of Sub-divine elixirs.

Because of the preciousness of these medicinal plants, Ye Futian couldn’t afford to waste any of them. He didn’t dare to risk producing the elixirs in batches, so he was forced to refine one pill at a time. However, regarding anything below the grade of the Sub-divine Elixir, Ye Futian was able to produce en masse.

He treated the times he spent producing these elixirs as times for rest. At the same time, he also did it to help his family and friends who were still in the Renhuang realm.

In the future, the pills they take would be handed over to Daoist Monk Mu to produce.

Of course, besides using them on the cultivators belonging to Ziwei Imperial Palace, Ye Futian also needed to prepare some other elixirs for another use.

Finally, on this day, Ye Futian stopped alchemy.

Afterward, he summoned Renhaung Chen, Daoist Monk Mu, Emperor Xi, and other cultivators.

“Elder, I will give some prescriptions to you because I will need to trouble you to makes some of these elixirs in the future.” Ye Futian smiled at Daoist Monk Mu.

“No problem. No need for Palace Lord to be so formal. Old Mu will do it in the future,” Daoist Monk Mu said.

“Palace Lord, I had a suggestion in mind before, but I did not want to bother you during your cultivation. Ziwei Imperial Palace will only become stronger in the future, and some things should get started now. Daoist Monk Mu is a Tribulation Plane cultivator, and I had taken the liberty to set up the Alchemy Pavilion, naming him the pavilion master. In addition, I propose Daoist Monk Mu be named the deputy palace master, and Emperor Xi as well,” Renhuang Chen said.

At present, there were four Tribulation Plane cultivators inside Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Hua Jieyu needed no mentioning for the time being. She was the wife of the palace lord and did not need to be appointed to any other positions.

In addition, Renhuang Chen, Daoist Monk Mu, and Emperor Xi were all Tribulation Plane cultivators. Emperor Xi had been cultivating here for many years, and Daoist Monk Mu had been recently recruited by Ye Futian. They would both serve as deputy palace masters, uniting everyone—old and new.

“Mmm,” Ye Futian nodded. “It is true, but before that, first use the elixir to improve your cultivation to see if there is a chance for a breakthrough.”

With that said, he took out two pills and handed them over to Renhuang Chen. “Both of these pills are Sub-divine elixirs and are to be taken at the same time. I will summon the divine glory of the Imperial Star again to see if there is an opportunity to be had.”

“Very well,” Renhuang Chen nodded with a grave expression. He appeared particularly serious.

Ye Futian handed the same two pills to Daoist Monk Mu and Emperor Xi as well, saying, “You can take it now, or you can take it when your realm is deeper, and the chances might be greater.”

“I need to cultivate for a few more years and see. After all, my realm still has a lot to be desired,” Daoist Monk Mu said.

Emperor Xi solemnly put them away, and he didn’t need anyone to tell him just how precious these two Sub-divine Elixirs were. His decision to stay in the Ziwei Segmentum seemed to be the right one. In the future, perhaps he would have the opportunity to move upward in realm.

“I won’t say anything so mundane as ‘thank you,” Emperor Xi told Ye Futian. This was something that he could only be repaid down the road later.

“Emperor Xi had taken risks on my account, staying behind in the Ziwei Segementum to maneuver between life and death. This kind of favor cannot be simply repaid by two little pills. Right now, my ability is limited, but in the future, I will be able to produce stronger elixir to help everyone’s cultivation,” said Ye Futian. He was not humble. He had offended Donhuang Imperial Palace, which qualified him as a public enemy of all of the Divine Prefecture. Emperor Xi’s staying behind had put him at a huge risk.

No matter where he was, a character like him could enjoy a high position and cultivate at will if he wanted to, just like he did before on Turtle Deity Island. Carefree and without a care in the world!
