Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1634 - 1632: Pill Gourd Creations

Time passed, and Lu Ye repeatedly immersed his mind in the blue-green hall, being slain by the human race's Wang Xiu again and again. Each time he was cut down, he would ponder for a while, then enter again to observe and summarize the lessons learned.

The ancestors who left their legacies in the barghest were never simple characters; each had their own unique skills, even the insect race's Praying Mantis had secret techniques like the Twin Saber Style.

This Wang Xiu from the human race unleashed his blade with such overwhelming force that even though Lu Ye had seen it many times, he couldn't defend against it the moment he entered the blue-green hall.

However, being slain countless times was not without its effects. Compared to the beginning, Lu Ye now at least had a moment to react. At first, he couldn't even see what happened before being cut down.

As long as there is time to react, it's not a major issue. Eventually, he can see through the reality and illusion of Wang Xiu's strike and will naturally be able to counter it. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Lu Ye originally planned to cultivate for half a month at the All Phenomena Ocean before heading to the Constellation Palace to bring Bai Lu and others out, but less than ten days had passed, and his doppelganger noticed something.

Hua Ci and Shui Yuan jointly found the doppelganger stationed at Three Worlds Island and gave him something to look at.

In the sleeping hall of Three Worlds Island, the doppelganger looked at the jade vials arrayed in front of him, each with an elixir pill displayed in front of it.

Hua Ci and Shui Yuan stood nearby watching him.

Although there were several jade vials, from the displayed elixir pills, the doppelganger could see at a glance they were actually of two types, just of different quality.

"Care to try?" Shui Yuan gestured to the doppelganger.

The doppelganger did not hesitate, taking the elixir pill from the jade vial on the far left and swallowing it directly. The moment it entered, it turned into a warm current that went straight into his mind, giving his soul sea a pleasing nourishment.

"An elixir pill targeting the psyche?" The doppelganger wasn't deeply versed in elixirs, but personally sampling it made him aware of the elixir's efficacy.

It was clearly an elixir pill targeting the psyche.

In this world, elixir pills come in many kinds: for cultivation, restoration, healing, foundation fortification, or other various effects.

But no matter where you are, only one kind of elixir is the most precious—the ones effective on the psyche.

It's not due to the difficulty of crafting them but rather the expense of raw materials, as they are relatively rare, thus keeping the prices persistently high.

"Want another taste?" Shui Yuan looked at him with a smile.

The doppelganger didn't need another taste to respond, "A supreme-grade elixir pill, right?"

He felt there were no impurities in this elixir; in other words, a cultivator taking such an elixir pill would encounter no risks.

Actually, it shouldn't just be called supreme-grade because even when crafted by an Alchemist, elixir pills deemed supreme-grade may still contain some slight impurities, though negligible.

But the one the doppelganger consumed genuinely had no impurities—it should be above supreme-grade!

Unfortunately, the world doesn't have a grade for this level.

Undoubtedly, the elixir pill came from the pill gourd! Otherwise, how could Shui Yuan and Hua Ci produce such results in such a short time?

Back when Lu Ye had snatched the pill gourd from the Taichu Realm, after painstakingly understanding its function and having no use for it, he entrusted it to Shui Yuan. In the years Lu Ye wasn't in the Nine Provinces, Shui Yuan used the pill gourd to craft numerous top-tier supreme-grade elixir pills, significantly boosting the cultivation speed of some Righteous Blood Sect cultivators.

Leaving the Nine Provinces and coming to All Phenomena Ocean, naturally, Shui Yuan brought the pill gourd along.

As long as there was a single finished elixir pill and suitable elixir pill formula, then by feeding the corresponding raw materials into the pill gourd, it could produce the corresponding elixir—that's something Lu Ye verified personally long ago.

The pill gourd and the sword gourd have the same origin; both are affiliated treasures made from the Creation Vine, but with different uses and each with its own wonders.

Such a supreme-grade elixir pill capable of nourishing the psyche is undoubtedly a good thing.

"Try this one," Shui Yuan pointed to another jade vial.

The doppelganger looked and saw that the elixir pill in front of that jade vial was similar to the one he had consumed, except for a difference in hue.

He was puzzled and ingested it directly, and upon savoring it, quickly noticed the difference.

It was indeed the same type of elixir, and it could still nourish the psyche, but obviously, there were more impurities. In terms of grade, it should be considered top-grade!

The doppelganger was surprised. "Did you guys refine this?"

Hua Ci lightly chuckled, "We don't have such skills; it all came from the pill gourd."

The doppelganger was even more puzzled. "That's impossible; the pill gourd always produces impurity-free supreme-grade elixir pills. How could it make this kind of elixir?"

Though top-grade is quite good, it shouldn't have been produced by the pill gourd.

Shui Yuan explained, "In the years you've been away from the Nine Provinces, I studied the pill gourd and found that it doesn't only produce supreme-grade elixir pills. With a little control, it can produce top, mid, or even low grade."

There's such a thing?

Lu Ye hadn't noticed before, but since he didn't spend much time studying the pill gourd, it was normal not to discover its nuances. Unlike Shui Yuan, who had owned the pill gourd for many years and knew all its wonderful uses.

"These two are psyche refinement pills, crafted primarily using the psyche refinement herb you provided."

"And what about these two?" The doppelganger looked at the two jade vials beside them. The spirit pills in front of the vials didn't seem that different, although, like the psyche refinement pills, there was a slight difference in hue, indicating a clear disparity in quality.

"Try them, and you'll find out." Shui Yuan handed him one of the better-quality ones.

The doppelganger tried them one after another and discovered that the effects of these two spirit pills were not aimed at the psyche but at the body.

"Treasure Body Pill, both supreme-grade and top-grade, and the main ingredient is those spirit fish you provided."

"Not bad, not bad!" The doppelganger nodded repeatedly, achieving results so quickly. Although the pill gourd played a significant role, Hua Ci and Shui Yuan clearly weren't idle either.

Moreover, these Treasure Body Pills are quite beneficial to him. The medicinal effects are evidently remarkable. Who wouldn't want a good physique, especially the magic cultivators who focus on practicing magic and spells? Their physical constitution is relatively weaker than other factions. If there's something that can enhance their physique, they wouldn't miss it.

"How much spirit jade can these things sell for if taken out to sell?" Shui Yuan asked.

They controlled the power of the pill gourd to produce top-grade pills just to sell them. Otherwise, making all supreme-grade spirit pills would be too extravagant.

"I don't know, I need to ask." The doppelganger contemplated for a moment and said, "I'll take these four bottles of spirit pills to the All Phenomena Merchants Guild and find out how much spirit jade they can fetch."

Shui Yuan reminded him, "Be careful."

"I understand." The doppelganger nodded, packed up the four bottles of spirit pills, and prepared to leave. However, a thought occurred to him, and he asked, "What are the raw materials for crafting these spirit pills, how much is used each time, and how many pills are produced?"

Shui Yuan informed him truthfully.

The doppelganger had an idea and quickly left Three Worlds Island.

At this time, the original body set off from under All Phenomena Ocean. With the doppelganger receiving him, he left the sea without worries, collected the doppelganger, and headed straight for All Phenomena Island.

Halfway there, Lu Ye activated the Thousand Faces Spirit Runes to change his appearance, even using Pseudo-Might to disguise himself as a Moon Jade.

Both Thousand Faces and Pseudo-Might had been deduced by the Talent Tree, so their current effects were stronger than before. This strength wasn't in battle but in concealing flaws.

If previously the Thousand Faces and Pseudo-Might could possibly be seen through by certain special cultivators, now it is highly unlikely unless they practiced some special pupil skill to see through Lu Ye's disguise.

He sped along swiftly and leisurely entered the All Phenomena Merchants Guild, appearing aged in his disguise this time. After all, having the cultivation of a Moon Jade and looking too young would be inappropriate.

He was immediately guided into a private room and served tea, soon meeting with a cultivator who appeared to be in charge.

Lu Ye took a look and found it was quite a coincidence; it was actually Cao Xiang!

Among the heads responsible for transactions with clients at the All Phenomena Merchants Guild, there were quite a few, but Lu Ye only knew Cao Xiang, having dealt with him several times before and exchanged their audio talisman markings.

He hadn't expected it to be him making the deal this time.

"Cao Xiang greets the esteemed guest. May I know what you seek?" Cao Xiang's demeanor was very courteous.

Lu Ye handed over the four bottles of spirit pills he brought and said indifferently, "See how much these are worth?"

To sell spirit pills! Cao Xiang immediately realized. It's a common thing; many alchemists bring their crafted spirit pills to sell to the All Phenomena Merchants Guild. Although the guild itself fosters many alchemists and produces large amounts of spirit pills daily, due to high demand, they also purchase those sent their way not for a profit margin but to satisfy their inventory needs.

Of course, the All Phenomena Merchants Guild has quality requirements for the spirit pills they acquire. They don't purchase those of too low quality.

Thus, it suggests this guest in front of him is likely an alchemist! Cao Xiang thought silently while speaking, "The price of spirit pills depends on their quality. If you don't mind, may I examine them?"

Lu Ye gestured with his hand, "Feel free!"

Cao Xiang then picked up one of the jade vials, opened the lid, and first lightly sniffed from a foot away. Then, he fanned the scent towards his face, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Having managed the guild for so many years and dealing with many alchemists, though not an alchemist himself, his understanding of spirit pills was not beneath any alchemist's!

He could gauge the quality of spirit pills by their fragrance.

Judging from the fragrance of this bottle of spirit pills, the quality was quite good, likely top-grade spirit pills with a faint effect of enhancing the physique!

He then circulated his spirit force, forming a layer of isolation on his palm, and cautiously poured out a Treasure Body Pill from the jade vial to scrutinize, nodding slightly.

Indeed, there was no doubt it was a top-grade spirit pill. It appeared the alchemist before him had quite remarkable alchemical skills.
