Chapter 211: Dao Discussion; Secret Realm Alliance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most of the alchemists were not fools. The problem was that they did not have much time left. They urgently needed these medicinal herbs for specialized cultivation.
He could only pinch his nose and admit it. Otherwise, the longer he waited, the less time he would have. When he was eliminated in the second round of the assessment, that would be a huge loss.
Even if these alchemists knew that they had suffered a loss, they could only swallow the bitter fruit.
Of course, there were also many people like He Qingge who were talented in alchemy. The herbs they bought at the beginning were enough for them to successfully refine the pills.
Of course, it did not mean that their success rate was 100%.
Instead, the success rate would increase by a large margin. It would be enough if it exceeded 60 to 70%.
When the time came for the assessment, as long as he was careful, he would have a high chance of passing.
“Fellow Daoist, the two of us can be considered the only two geniuses in this grand meeting who can break through to become a third-tier alchemist at the foundation establishment realm. Why don’t the two of us exchange ideas?”
He Qingge was drinking and having fun in the restaurant as usual when a young man walked up to him.
The young man’s eyes were clear, and his eyes were like warm pools of water, without a trace of fluctuation.
He Qingge recognized this person. He was the person who had attracted the attention of the examination.
Dusk turns into frost.
He had passed the first test much earlier than He Qingge. It was obvious that he was a genius who had a deep understanding of alchemy and was familiar with all kinds of medicinal theories.
Being able to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills at the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm at the age of just 20 could really be called a genius. It was rather remarkable.
He Qingge was now twice his age.
Without realizing it, he had been cultivating for 40 to 50 years, but He Qingge still had a long life.
According to his physical condition, He Qingge felt that he could live for about 800 years.
A normal foundation establishment realm definitely wouldn’t be able to live for this long.
The maximum lifespan of a Refinement Stage cultivator was three sixty years.
The limit of the Foundation Establishment realm was 400 years. Only those who reached the Golden Core realm could live for 800 years.
Immortal cultivators could sense their own lifespan.
He Qingge’s lifespan was extended after contracting the holy spirit egg.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of the immortal power of the holy spirit egg that it gradually extended.
Moreover, it was only a semi-finished product of the contract and had not been repaired yet. Otherwise, He Qingge would have received even greater benefits.
Even so, it was enough to satisfy He Qingge.
Forty to fifty years of lifespan was nothing compared to eight hundred years of lifespan.
He Qingge was still a young man.
“Fellow Daoist, if you want to discuss the Dao, please rise.” He Qingge immediately waved his hand and invited him to sit down.
He Qingge also wanted to have a chat with such a genius.
Slowly, they began to talk about their experiences in alchemy.
Speaking of which, He Qingge’s alchemy could only be considered an unorthodox method.
Most of them relied on self-study and observing others refine pills.
Many of He Qingge’s ideas were beyond Mu Chengling’s expectations.
Mu Chengling’s thoughts and insights were roughly the same as Qing Ge’s basic alchemy tutorial.
Then, the conversation went deeper and deeper, and the more they talked, the brighter their eyes became.
In the end, there was a discussion about the various medicinal pills for the second round of the assessment and their respective refining methods.
Both of us have gained a lot, and each of us has brought inspiration to the other.
He Qingge couldn’t help but sigh. This kind of opportunity to discuss the Dao was really too rare.
Previously, during the Grand Evolution Alchemy Sect’s assessment, he also had a simple Dao discussion with that group of people.
They had learned a lot from the veterans, but their experience was still too shallow.
Other than the beginning, He Qingge was basically the one teaching.
The Mu Chengling in front of him was indeed a genuine alchemy genius.
This time, He Qingge really benefited a lot. Although there was no immediate transformation, it would allow He Qingge to walk on the path of a Third Grade Alchemist more smoothly and faster.
“Fellow Daoist, you didn’t come here just to discuss the Dao with me, did you?” He Qingge smiled after the discussion ended.
Mu Chengling smiled.” You’re indeed my fellow daoist. I’m here for a very important matter. I think you should be interested in it too.”
So, the previous test was considered a test?” He Qingge’s lips curled up slightly.” So, I’ve passed the test now?”
” You’re such a smart person,” Mu Chengling laughed.” You’ve seen through the essence of the matter.’
“This time, I actually want to work together with Dao brother to explore an ancient inheritance that has only just been opened in the Pill Saint’s mystic realm.”
He Qingge’s eyes narrowed. This Mu Chengling in front of him was not simple!
This kind of information was definitely controlled by the various large sects. The person in front of him must be a direct descendant of a large sect.
As for the non-affiliated students, it was impossible for them to know such a thing.
After all, the Pill Saint only had one disciple who left behind the Pill Tower. There were no other disciples or successors who left behind other inheritances. Naturally, it was impossible to record the inheritances that had not yet been opened in the Pill Tower.
Only the few top-notch sects in the Pill Tower could obtain this news.
Which force did this person in front of him come from?
“Then tell me in detail.”
“If you were an Alchemy Saint and wanted to select a successor, what kind of successor would you choose?”
“That’s naturally because he has great talent and potential.”
“Then what do you think the advantages of us two Foundation Building cultivators and other Golden Core cultivators entering the Secret Realm are?” asked Mu Chengling.
He Qingge narrowed his eyes.” You’re trying to say that our current strength is lower, but our alchemy skills are not bad. It represents our potential. At the very least, the potential of the alchemists is stronger than theirs.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You should know that in this world, a genius is a genius. Unless you obtain a heaven-defying opportunity, it’s simply wishful thinking for ordinary people to want to be comparable to a genius.”
“Hard work can’t compare to talent. If it could, then there wouldn’t be so few immortals in this world.”
“In fact, sometimes the outcome is already decided from the moment you are born.”
” Therefore, regardless of whether it’s the sect or the mighty figures who choose their disciples, talent is definitely the most important.”
” To be able to select disciples who don’t value talent, that’s probably already the limit of the entire world. However, Pill Saint isn’t that kind of legendary figure.”
” That’s why we have an advantage here. If we form an alliance to participate in this assessment, we might be able to obtain the Pill Saint’s inheritance.”
He Qingge raised an eyebrow.” Isn’t it better for you to be alone? Why do you have to tell me this news? You’ll have fewer competitors then.”
Mu Chengling: ” I’m not sure if I can get this inheritance either. That’s why I wanted to find you and make an agreement. When the time comes, no matter who passes the test, we will share the contents with each other.”
He Qingge fell silent. Why did he feel like he had taken advantage of her? After all, He Qingge didn’t know about this news.
Mu Chengling had given him an important piece of information for free.
“Your talent should be a little better than mine. Your probability is higher. Moreover, I’m not sure about this news. You even told me what to think. I keep feeling that you’re at a disadvantage!”
What He Qingge meant was that he didn’t believe that a free lunch would fall from the sky.
After all, this was a cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak. It was not the beautiful world with moral order in his previous life.
“So you don’t believe that I’m going to refuse?” asked Mu Chengling.
He Qingge: ” It’s not a rejection. I don’t believe in love without reason, nor do I believe in hatred without reason.”
“No matter how you look at it, it feels like I’ve taken advantage of you. I can’t believe it.”
“I just want to increase my chances of getting the inheritance,” said Mu Chengling helplessly.
“If we go at the same time, there will be many competitors. Wouldn’t your chances be even lower?
“But the two of us have a higher chance of getting the inheritance,” said Mu Chengling.
He Qingge fell silent, feeling that things were not that simple.
Until now, Mu Chengling had not shown any malice.
He Qingge couldn’t figure it out.
Moreover, Mu Chengling was obviously a disciple of a large sect. When they went in together, there would definitely be his senior brothers and sisters from his sect.
Wouldn’t they be more trustworthy if they cooperated with people from their own sects?
It was safer than finding a stranger like him to form an alliance..
