The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 95: Ancient Pill Formulas!

The Yunling Hall was divided into two sections. On the left side were storerooms housing various medicinal herbs, while on the right side was the area designated for processing these herbs and refining medicinal pills.

After asking everyone to wait in the main hall for a moment, Elder Li soon emerged carrying an exquisite wooden box.

"This is a transcript of the True Art of Xuanyuan. Every year, our medicinal herb garden can obtain a copy from the scripture depository and award it to the most outstanding new disciple."

Elder Li couldn't help but sigh as Ling Feng had taken the only copy this year.

While tucking away the wooden box, Ling Feng suddenly caught whiffs of rich medicinal fragrance wafting through the hall, prompting a recollection of the Purple Spirit Crystal he had collected. Suddenly, an idea sparked within him.

"Elder Li, is there a dedicated alchemy room here?" he asked.

"Hmm?"

With Ling Feng's inquiry, all eyes turned towards him. Yuan Qiansheng, in particular, expressed surprise. "Kid, you even know how to refine pills?"

"I have some understanding." Ling Feng nodded slightly. "Although I've already collected the Purple Spirit Crystal earlier, it can only be stored for three days regardless of how well preserved it is. So, I'd like to use it to refine an ancient medicinal pill. I wonder if Elder Li and Master Yuan could accommodate this request?"

"Ancient medicinal pill?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone's eyelids twitched, and Elder Li even swallowed heavily. "Y-You have an ancient pill formula?"

Ling Feng nodded slightly. "I happen to know of one ancient medicinal pill that requires the use of Purple Spirit Crystals, so I don't want to let it go to waste."

This was the Cangqiong Sect's medicinal herb garden, where a wide variety of spiritual herbs were readily available. Trying to gather these medicinal herbs elsewhere would not only be extremely challenging but also hindered by the crucial issue of insufficient funds.

"An ancient pill formula that requires the Purple Spirit Crystal must be at least of the fourth or even fifth tier, correct?"

Elder Li couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly, completely disregarding the slight insult that Li Yunfan had received under Ling Feng's hands.

"It is indeed a fifth-tier ancient pill formula." Ling Feng nodded. "If Elder Li is willing to prepare the materials needed for alchemy on my behalf, I can present this ancient pill formula as a gift."

"By all means!" Elder Li hadn't spoken yet, but Yuan Qiansheng couldn't hold back, nodding vigorously. "Kid, I agree! One set of materials for one ancient pill formula, what a bargain!"

"Hey, do you even understand the concept of first come, first served? Did I say no? Besides, Ling Feng here is clearly addressing me, isn't he?"

Elder Li immediately pushed aside Yuan Qiansheng, looking disdainful. "Furthermore, you're just a third-grade alchemist. Can you even refine this kind of pill? It's clear that a fifth-grade alchemist like me should handle this."

"Hilarious! In such a vast medicinal herb garden, there's not just one fifth-grade alchemist like you. Kid, ignore him. Give me the formula! I'll find someone to refine it for you!"

Yuan Qiansheng immediately displayed his tough side. Despite his mediocre alchemical proficiency, he stood out as a formidable exception among alchemists, particularly adept at confronting guardian demonic beasts during the collection of rare herbs.

At that moment, Yuan Qiansheng's value became evident.

Therefore, the majority of alchemists within the medicinal herb garden maintained decent relations with him, and even those without such bonds were hesitant to offend this formidable figure.

"Yuan Qiansheng, y-you've gone too far!"

Elder Li was trembling with anger, yet he refrained from confronting Yuan Qiansheng directly, knowing full well that the combat prowess of an ordinary alchemist was quite lacking.

"Enough, enough! You're both elders of the medicinal garden; is it really necessary to argue like this?" Unable to bear the situation any longer, Wen Tingguang turned to Ling Feng and spoke with a solemn tone. "Ling Feng, tell me, who do you want to help you in refining?"

"Um..." Ling Feng hesitated, rubbing his nose. "Well... I, ahem, I think I can do it myself."

"What?"

This time, all eyes converged on Ling Feng. Even Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao, who were entirely unfamiliar with alchemy were astonished.

Even if it's just a fourth-tier ancient pill formula, how old is Ling Feng to have already acquired the alchemy skills of a fourth-grade alchemist?

It's worth noting that while Yuan Qiansheng's martial arts prowess far surpassed his alchemical abilities, it didn't imply a lack of talent in alchemy.

On the contrary, his aptitude in alchemy was quite commendable; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of Master Yuan.

In the realm of alchemy, attaining the status of a third-grade alchemist commands considerable respect. However, within the Cangqiong Sect, such attainment may seem less extraordinary.

"Kid, you're not joking, are you?"

"Ling Feng, alchemy is no child's play; otherwise, it would be a waste of medicinal herbs!"

For once, Yuan Qiansheng and Elder Li were in rare agreement.

Even if one had money to burn, it's not feasible to experiment with materials used for refining fourth or fifth-tier medicinal pills.

"Rest assured, I am quite confident in my ability to refine them, " Ling Feng said with a faint smile. "As for the pill formula, I will offer it to the medicinal herb garden as a gift, so there's no need for both seniors to argue over it."

"You're quite smart, Kid." Wen Tingguang chuckled, narrowing his eyes. "But, young man, have you really considered whether you can refine ancient medicinal pills?"

"How will I know if I don't try?" Ling Feng's lips curved into a slight arc. While his alchemy skills may not rival his medical expertise, he had full confidence in his ability to handle medicinal herbs. Refining fifth-tier ancient medicinal pills was well within his capabilities.

"The pill formula is already etched in my mind. If you both agree, I can transcribe it right now."

"I'm fine with it." Yuan Qiansheng nodded.

"I'm good too." Elder Li chimed in. He was far more enthusiastic about alchemy than Yuan Qiansheng, visibly excited as he rubbed his hands together.

"In that case, I am grateful to both of you for your help."

Ling Feng nodded in gratitude. Elder Li promptly escorted him to the study, where everything he needed for transcribing the pill formula was prepared.

"This kid!"

Wen Tingguang couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, wondering what kind of little monster he had brought back. Not only did Ling Feng possess medical skills that surpassed those of the heirs from prestigious medical families, but his combat abilities were also remarkably formidable.

And now, he seemed to be showcasing a mastery level in alchemy as well?

"So, he truly possesses alchemical skills." Yue Yunlan observed Ling Feng's focused transcription of the pill formula with astonishment. Just moments ago at the Medicinal Herb Garden, she had casually remarked to Qiao Qiao, "How can you be sure he lacks alchemical abilities?" Little did she know, Ling Feng was indeed adept at alchemy.

As Yue Yunlan contemplated this, she couldn't resist exchanging a glance with Qiao Qiao. With a playful tongue poke, Qiao Qiao whispered softly, "Miss, even if he manages to refine an immortality pill this time, I'd believe it!"

After curing the sect leader's mysterious illness and effortlessly defeating Li Yunfan, Ling Feng had already accomplished so much that Qiao Qiao once deemed impossible. Now, regardless of whatever astounding feat Ling Feng might achieve next, she wouldn't find it strange anymore.

Not long after, Ling Feng picked up two pieces of silk paper filled with writing from the desk and handed them to Yuan Qiansheng and Elder Li respectively.

"Seniors, these are two different pill formulas. I hope you both can prepare the necessary materials accordingly."

"Divine Essence Pill," Elder Li remarked while perusing the silk paper, nodding in approval. "Truly an ancient pill formula. Hmm, so it requires such auxiliary herbs to neutralize its properties. Impressive, impressive. This certainly broadens my horizons!"

"Malevolent Elemental Pill?" Yuan Qiansheng scrutinized the formula in his hand, feeling perplexed. The name alone didn't sound beneficial, and it didn't seem to require Purple Spirit Crystals either.

The more he examined the listed ingredients, all consisting of extremely poisonous herbs and insects, the more a chill ran down his spine.

Is this also considered a medicinal pill? It seems more like a lethal poison!
