Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 2395 - 2385: Obstacle Pill

This young Sword Saint, when shameless, is truly unparalleled. Long Yan sighed helplessly, from the moment he returned to the room, Jian Wuchen kept questioning Long Yan’s demeanor. If it weren’t for them both being men, Long Yan would’ve thought Jian Wuchen was checking their compatibility for marriage.

"Big Brother, I’ve already told you, I’m just a guest elder of the Yanmen Commerce Association, why do you keep asking."

Long Yan’s voice carried a trace of resentment. Whenever Long Yan wanted to ignore Jian Wuchen and sleep directly, he would shatter the wine bottle in his hand, then promptly take out a new bottle from his storage ring.

He could somewhat understand the mindset of those people who were roused early by Long Yan; at least at this moment, Long Yan was on the verge of craziness, yet Jian Wuchen still maintained that icy demeanor. The gentle moonlight seemed unable to melt the cold ice on his face; instead, it complemented this young Sword Saint’s spiritedness. Despite his ability as a cultivator, he now resembled more a wandering swordsman of the pugilistic world.

"Then can I at least cultivate?"

Long Yan rolled his eyes, sitting cross-legged on the bed, entering into a state of enlightenment. Secretly operating the Star Breaking Demon Decree, Long Yan still placed great importance on cultivating his martial arts. Initially, the Star Breaking Demon Decree had reached a minor success, but with Long Yan’s efforts, it had made considerable progress, achieving a remarkable advancement in cultivation.

Long Yan had also learned many techniques compatible with the Star Breaking Demon Decree; however, he hadn’t experimented with them, so he didn’t know their power.

Jian Wuchen observed intently. The True Qi surrounding Long Yan glimmered with starlight, seemingly merging with the universe. At this moment, behind Long Yan was no longer an earthen yellow wall but the flowing star river.

Even with Jian Wuchen’s disposition, he couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. Although Long Yan kept lying with his words, he conveyed to Jian Wuchen through cultivating martial arts that he was from the Eastern Ancient Clan, letting a weight fall from Jian Wuchen’s heart. Jian Wuchen gracefully landed on the ground from the window, feeling relieved upon knowing Long Yan was from the Eastern Ancient Clan.

"Brother Long!"

Jian Wuchen softly called out Long Yan’s name. The whole room then fell into complete silence, where even the drop of a needle could be heard. Only the light swaying sound of the wine bottle in Jian Wuchen’s hand remained in the air.

"Hmm?"

Long Yan had not truly entered a meditative state. His reason for cultivation was merely to give Jian Wuchen a satisfactory answer. Perhaps there’s some enemy outside, as Long Yan didn’t wish to get involved with the Eastern Ancient Clan, but he had to admit that the reputation of the Eastern Ancient Clan had indeed put Jian Wuchen at ease.

"There’s something I’d like to ask your help with."

Jian Wuchen sat down on a chair with vacant eyes. There was something peculiar about how Jian Wuchen felt towards Long Yan, although their cultivation levels and conduct were completely different. Jian Wuchen instinctively felt they were alike.

Both were troubled by something, or perhaps, they simply shared the same plight.

"What is it?"

Long Yan did not open his eyes but chose to ask directly. Perhaps their hearts shared a similar feeling, and thus Long Yan asked.

Jian Wuchen showed a hint of excitement on his face. Knowing Long Yan asked meant he wanted to help; otherwise, with Long Yan’s character, he wouldn’t ask. The less known, the safer it is.

"Let me keep it a mystery for now. Currently, with the strength you and I have, we aren’t sufficient for it, but I can advance the reward to Brother Long."

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Long Yan opened his eyes and frowned slightly. He wasn’t too concerned about the reward; he was really concerned that Jian Wuchen hadn’t directly stated his issue.

"Here."

As if oblivious to Long Yan’s expression, Jian Wuchen placed a small bottle of elixir from his storage ring gently on the table, along with the half-bottle of wine in his hand, making the intention clear.

"This thing is called the Obstacle Pill, one of the few things in my possession that can directly enhance one’s strength, albeit only for an hour."

Jian Wuchen took a gentle sip of the strong wine in his hand. This Obstacle Pill was a unique treasure, its crafting method was lost, yet even one pill would allow a Divine Emperor level cultivator to increase at least two levels. That is, if Long Yan is currently at Divine Emperor Second Order, consuming this Obstacle Pill would immediately enhance his strength to Divine Emperor Fourth Stage.

Listening to Jian Wuchen’s words, Long Yan took a sharp breath. He had never heard of a medicine that could enhance two levels.

Long Yan raised his head and met Jian Wuchen’s eyes. He knew the other party wasn’t deceiving him.

"And what is the cost?"

Long Yan asked softly, knowing that everything has a cost, and this Obstacle Pill was no exception. It was a life-saving tool. Why would Jian Wuchen hand it to him? Furthermore, this kind of medicine was already lost to time.

"The name itself suggests carrying the burden of karmic obstacles."

Jian Wuchen poured the wine from the bottle into a cup and placed it in front of Long Yan. Carrying karmic obstacles was no laughing matter. In the Sacred Domain, one was called a Land Immortal, whereas above the Sacred Domain there was the existence of the Immortal World, the highest point of the cultivation world.

However, ascending to immortality wasn’t as simple as one might think. Like how people are divided into good and bad, when ascending to immortality, true severing of mundane ties occurs, and deeds in the Human World are split into Merit and Karmic Obstacles. For those full of Merit, becoming immortal is easy, but for the burdened with Karmic Obstacles, immortality is but a dream.

No one could withstand the flames of Karmic Obstacles, at least historically; nobody could endure it. Therefore, calling this so-called Obstacle Pill the Elixir of Immortal Break was more fitting.

"I think we are the same kind of person, and perhaps we are facing the same kind of situation. Although you may not care about many treasures, perhaps only such things would catch your eye."

Jian Wuchen slowly said, thinking of Lingxi, Long Yan really had no reason to refuse.

"However, I must say, taking this elixir means truly severing the path to immortality, so each use requires thorough consideration."

Pausing slightly, Jian Wuhen said, "Just one pill, and all worldly merit will turn to dust."

Long Yan said nothing. His intuition told him that someday he might really have use for this thing, and he seemed to have no reason to refuse either. Thinking this, Long Yan raised the cup of wine Jian Wuchen had poured and downed it in one gulp.

A look of surprise appeared on Jian Wuchen’s face, which had been frozen for ten thousand years, as he had been prepared for Long Yan’s refusal. freewёbnoνel-com
