Chapter 223: Using the Soul for Alchemy
"As you all know, the effect of strength-enhancing pills significantly decreases when consumed a second time. This is true for pills like the Dou Ling Dan and the Huang Ji Dan," began Xiao Ze.
"These pills, when taken repeatedly, have less and less effect until they become completely ineffective. However, today I want to share with you a series of pills called Hunyuan Pills, which do not have this problem."
"That's impossible!" interrupted Ling Yun. "Many alchemists on the Dou Qi continent have tried to solve this problem, but all have failed. How can this so-called Hunyuan Pill, discovered in ancient ruins, achieve it?"
Ling Yun openly expressed his doubts. Although other elders were curious, they also had their reservations about Xiao Ze's claims.
"Why not wait until I finish my explanation before judging," suggested Xiao Ze. "I assure you this won't take much time."
"Hmph, you better not be spouting nonsense, or I won't hesitate to get up and leave," replied Ling Yun bluntly.
The other elders weren't as direct, as that would be disrespectful to Xiao Ze.
"The creator of the Hunyuan Pill was extremely bold. Being from a magical beast family, he greatly valued his physical constitution and wanted to develop a series of pills that continuously improved his body. His madness reached the point of using his own blood as the main ingredient."
The elders gasped in surprise. Xiao Ze knew that mentioning one's own blood could be the key to eliminating resistance to pills. Even Ling Yun frowned, considering the feasibility of using one's own blood in alchemy.
In an upstairs room, the three presidents exchanged looks of astonishment.
"This technique is incredibly bold..." murmured Xuan Kongzi. "But it could work. In the vast Dou Qi continent, who knows if any alchemist hasn't found a new path."
Xuan Yi, another president, commented softly, "But it also seems to have disadvantages..."
"Yes, it's not a technique that everyone can use," added Tian Leizi, the third president.
On stage, Xiao Ze noticed the change in the elders' expressions and continued.
"I see some of you have already grasped the idea. Using one's own blood can reduce or even eliminate resistance to pills. And I call them a series of pills because they work together, increasing their effectiveness as their level increases. The level eight pills created by this alchemist increased body strength by an impressive fifty percent."
This information left the elders astonished. Even Ling Yun had to admit the uniqueness of these pills.
"But, Xiao Ze, those pills were created by a magical beast alchemist. They are not applicable to us humans. Moreover, using our own blood in such quantities is impossible," pointed out Ling Yun Lao Guai.
Xiao Ze smiled. "Of course, I know. That's why I wouldn't limit myself to sharing something we can't use. We human alchemists also have our strengths."
The elders began to understand what Xiao Ze meant and looked at him with surprise.
"Following the same principle, if we use our soul's strength as an ingredient, we can achieve similar effects," explained Xiao Ze.
The elders and disciples in the audience looked at Xiao Ze with a mix of astonishment and respect. The idea of using the soul in alchemy was extremely bold, as the soul is fragile, and damaging it could be irreparable.
"Naturally, Xiao Ze is only presenting a possibility. Besides the soul, there are other ways to develop these pills in series. But I must warn about the strong specificity of these pills: generally, they can only be used by the person who provides the main ingredient."
"For example, the last pill left by that alchemist can never be consumed by another person."
The elders showed expressions of regret. The limitation of these pills was significant, as generally only the alchemist or someone close to them could use them. However, this idea opened a new path for alchemy, allowing for future innovations.
In the upper hall, the presidents frowned at the idea of using the soul in alchemy.
"Xiao Ze is a genius in alchemy, but he is also prone to straying into dangerous paths," Xuan Kongzi commented with concern.
"Perhaps he has been influenced by the ancient alchemist who created the Hun Yuan Pill," Xuan Yi suggested.
Although Xuan Kongzi mentioned that Xiao Ze's scroll lacked crucial information about it, they understood that creating such a pill surely involved touching aspects of the soul.
