Speaking of the rewards for the Pill King List of rising stars, even Shang Yun’s eyes ignited with fervor.
Seeing Shang Yun’s unusual expression, Jing Yan was slightly moved.
Honestly, ordinary treasures held no attraction for Jing Yan. The resources he had accumulated were astronomically high; not just Peak Dao Spirit Realm martial artists, but even Daoist Masters wouldn’t dare compare their resources with Jing Yan’s.
"Jing Yan, I won’t say much, but I will talk about the best two things one can get by reaching the top of the Pill King List of newcomers."
"The first reward, the Creation Pill!" Shang Yun’s voice slightly hardened.
"What?" Hearing these three words, Jing Yan could no longer remain calm.
The Creation Pill, a Seventh-level Elixir. Its effect could help a Peak Dao Spirit Realm martial artist advance to the Daoist Master Realm.
It could be said that for Peak Dao Spirit Realm martial artists, a Creation Pill was as crucial as a second life.
Take Jing Yan for example, who was currently at the peak limit of the Dao Spirit Realm, could himself try to break through the Realm Shackles. However, Jing Yan always felt something was missing, his foundation unstable. If he could have a Creation Pill, then perhaps it would completely stabilize his foundation, allowing a direct breakthrough into the Daoist Master Realm.
Ordinary elixirs and treasures were indeed unattractive to Jing Yan. But the Creation Pill was something that even caused emotional stir within Jing Yan.
Seeing the dramatic change on Jing Yan’s face, Shang Yun slightly smiled.
"On the Alchemy Conference, the very best pill masters will receive a Creation Pill as a reward."
"However, the Creation Pill is not the best reward. The second reward I am talking about is Source Power!" Shang Yun said, suddenly emphasizing his words.
Hearing the two words ’Source Power’, Jing Yan immediately stood up.
"How is that possible?" Jing Yan involuntarily exclaimed.
Certainly, the term ’Source Power’ had greatly shocked Jing Yan. Being a Sixth-level Alchemist himself, Jing Yan was aware of its significance.
Additionally, Jing Yan was immensely eager to obtain Source Power, yet he knew how difficult it was to acquire. Across the entire Heavenly Origin Continent, hardly any Source Power could be found.
Source Power was a natural force formed by the convergence of Heaven and Earth Laws, nurtured over ten thousand years, containing the purest Power of Laws.
For alchemists, the allure of Source Power was even greater because they could use it in alchemy, and elixirs refined with Source Power had a high chance of being elevated by one grade.
Currently, Jing Yan could occasionally refine Perfect Quality elixirs. If these perfect-quality elixirs could be elevated by one more grade, what level would they reach? Legendary Spirit Pills?
Jing Yan had discussed this with Tianshui; according to Tianshui, Spirit Pills had reached an extraordinary and transcendent level. The birth of a Spirit Pill meant the awakening of spirituality within the elixir, a treasure beyond the mundane, a rare sight even for the former number one powerhouse Tianshui of the continent.
Speaking of Source Power, it was equally extremely rare and deemed an invaluable treasure.
Jing Yan could hardly imagine how an Alchemy Conference, held every century, could include Source Power in its rewards.
"Actually, previous Alchemy Conferences did not have Source Power as a reward. But in this edition of the Alchemy Conference, Source Power will be offered as a reward. The information I received is reliable. Jing Yan, your mastery over the Alchemy Dao is already very powerful, if you could obtain Source Power..." Shang Yun paused, his gaze locked on Jing Yan.
"You needn’t say more, Your Highness. I will participate in the Pill Spirit Conference," Jing Yan declared with a determined look in his eyes.
Not to mention Source Power, just for the Creation Pill alone, Jing Yan would have to make the trip. The Creation Pill simply couldn’t be bought, even within Pill Country.
"Good! Since you have decided, then we will set off in three days. The journey from here to Pill Country is exceedingly long, crossing over a dozen commanderies. We better start early to avoid any unforeseen events that might delay us," Shang Yun nodded.
Three days later, Shang Yun and Jing Yan left Lanqu County City, heading towards Pill Country.
Both of them were flying directly to their destination.
Dao Spirit Realm martial artists could fly for short periods, and the deeper their cultivation, the longer they could stay airborne. Shang Yun was in the Late Daoist Realm, whereas Jing Yan, although only being in the Dao Spirit Realm, had a depth of Primordial Energy comparable to that of Shang Yun, an experienced practitioner in the Late Daoist Realm.
Flying posed no pressure on Jing Yan.
Pill Country, Golden Sparrow Commerce!
In Pill Country, there were numerous powers, and just among the large and small commercial bodies, there were as many as five.
The Golden Sparrow Commerce, though not ranked first among these four, was still third.
One day, Li Xingjiu, a look of excitement on his face, hurriedly entered the top floor of the commerce building.
"Chairman Li Xingjiu, is something the matter?" A red-robed Alchemist looked at Li Xingjiu and asked.
Li Xingjiu was a Sixth-level Alchemist, and back when he was in Lanqu County City, he was the most powerful Alchemist in the commandery region in terms of alchemy. But upon arriving in Pill Country, Li Xingjiu was considered a rather average Alchemist.
After moving to Pill Country, Li Xingjiu joined the Golden Sparrow Commerce, where he had a certain status, especially since he was a Sixth-level Alchemist.
Although Golden Sparrow Commerce also had High-level Alchemists, their numbers were too few, so they particularly relied on some Intermediate Alchemists, especially Sixth-level Alchemists.
"I need to see the Chairman," Li Xingjiu stated, bowing slightly to the red-robed alchemist.
"Oh, the Chairman is currently refining elixirs, you might have to wait a while," the red-robed Alchemist said with a stern look.
"That’s fine, I can wait," Li Xingjiu nodded.
Having said that, he stood outside the room to wait. This waiting lasted for one whole day. Finally, the door to the room opened.
"Alchemist Li Xingjiu, you needed to see me?" a voice came from the room.
"Yes!" Li Xingjiu responded from outside.
"Come in and talk," the voice invited.
Upon obtaining permission, Li Xingjiu stepped inside, his expression respectful. The person he was meeting was not only the chairman of Golden Sparrow Commerce but also a High-level Alchemist. In terms of the Alchemy Dao, Li Xingjiu had a great gap compared to this person.
Inside the room, there was an elder in a dark gold robe, his features somewhat gaunt but his eyes were bright and piercing.
"Alchemist Li Xingjiu, if you have something to say, please speak!" the elder was rather polite to Li Xingjiu.
"Chairman! The Pill Country’s Alchemy Conference is about to commence. Should our Golden Sparrow Commerce also deploy some alchemists to represent the commerce at the Alchemy Conference? If this character could achieve a ranking at the Alchemy Conference, it should greatly benefit our Golden Sparrow Commerce," Li Xingjiu spoke carefully.
"That is a given," the elder nodded.
"The Chairman should know, I came from Lanqu County City. I know of an alchemy genius there who could possibly represent our Golden Sparrow Commerce at the Alchemy Conference. If this person can gain a position in the Alchemy Conference, it should be greatly advantageous for our Golden Sparrow Commerce," Li Xingjiu concluded.
