Bab 24: Chapter Twenty-Four ~ Tournament of Pride(9)
" Well! What are you two waiting for, begin already!
" Ancestor, if I may ask, what is this desolating pill?
" The audacity, you took away my granddaughter. Yet you know nothing of our family's greatest achievement.
Wei Jian could do nothing but stare back at Song Shoushan. Because in the end, it is true that he still knew nothing of this world. Although this one and his original world shared many of the same aspects. There was never a Song family, instead, it was the Sui family that ruled above all alchemist families.
Song Shoushan was boiling, how could this talentless boy from a family that only knows battle arts compete for his granddaughter. In his eyes, this was nothing more than a way for the Wei family to attain future grandmaster in their family, by getting Wei Jian to marry Song Meihu.
Mo Xin too was taken aback, from the rumors he heard, he was sure Wei Jian was at least competent enough to compete with him. But for him to not even know the pill that the Song family is most well known for. But when he looked towards Song Meihu, and saw how worried she was. He knew that even if he won, he would not win her heart.
So before Song Shoushan could let out his anger. Mo Xin would step in.
" Ancestor Shoushan, if I may, I too would like to ask you to change how you test us. I wish for a test of refining our most powerful pill, with the knowledge at hand.
" That will do for now, but the requirement will be the same. The pill must be at or above exalted pill grade. Count yourself lucky Wei Jian that Mo Xin would be so humble. Now begin before I change my mind.
Mo Xin would immediately take out his cauldron and begin to refine, while Wei Jian contemplated on which pill to refine out of the millions of recipes he had received from Long Wei. And after a few minutes of standing still, he finally started to move.
He founded the best recipe for his current level. Taking out from his spatial ring were the items reishi, kudzu, rainbow peony's root, and the essence of one chimera. Sitting down lotus style, he would begin to heat up his cauldron. Slowly increasing the intensity of his alchemy flame so the temperature would be just right.
Right at that moment, pill hall elder Aiguo arrived, watching quietly so as to not disturb the two young men. Analyzing their skills and actions to see who is better and what they lacked in.
By the time Wei Jian started, Mo Xin was already half done with his pill. Now Mo Xin only needed to wait for it to cool down, so he could form it into pills. Turning to Wei Jian he was shocked to see Wei Jian bleeding from his eyes and mouth.
A few seconds ago, when the cauldron was finally at the correct temperature. Wei Jian threw in the ingredients and began to break them down. In the middle of the process, the essence of the chimera would fight back. Attacking Wei Jian and easily damaging him, due to being defenseless while refining pills.
Song Meihu and Elder Aiguo were worried. If Wei Jian does not overwhelm the chimera's essence then he would completely ruin all his ingredients and become crippled. Since the essence of beasts and monsters were essentially their spiritual qi. So if it gets into an alchemist's dantian or meridians during a refining process.
Then it would tear and scramble the alchemist's insides. Fortunately, Wei Jian would regain his control over the essence and continue refining. After another five hours passed, the two were finally done. The first to show his pill was, of course, Mo Xin.
" Magnificent, a pill just a bit above the exalted pill grade, a feat in itself. Furthermore a Flesh pill at that. Now show me yous, Wei Jian. Mhmmm…your pill is nowhere near the exalted grade. And what kind of pill is this?
Examining the pill, Song Shoushan was perturbed. A pill he has never seen before?
" What is this?
" It's a Limb restoration pill, Ancestor Shoushan.
" How and where exactly did you obtain this recipe for this so-called Limb Restoration pill?
In a pickle, Wei Jian remembered that before he had taken over this body, the original person between the time he got disowned and join the sect was three years. The only person who knew what truly happened through the years was Zhao Lijiang. And since he wouldn't be back for some time, no one would question his next statement.
" Before I joined the sect; I met a person along my journeys. She truly was a mysterious fellow. Upon seeing my decrepit state, she would treat my wounds, and disappear. I distinctly remember her borrowing the recipe to mind.
The room was deathly silent, as Song Shoushan was judging whether this story of Wei Jian was true or false. Thinking about it it wouldn't be strange had this person been an immortal, because, from his personal experience, he had only ever seen an immortal doing such a thing.
Seeing the expression of Song Shoushan, Wei Jian came to the conclusion that he needed to showcase the usage of the pill. Unsheathing his blade, he would swing it towards his right hand's index finger. Greatly alarming everyone in the room, but before anyone could, Wei Jian had already lopped off his finger.
Holding out his left arm, beckoned for the Limb Restoration pill. Popping in the pill, after a few seconds. Everyone including the great, Divine Pill Sovereign Shoushan, was aghast. Nerves, flesh, skin, and bones started to regrow. By taking in the surrounding natural qi and consuming a small portion of the person's qi. It started to recreate what the finger used to look like.
