Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 386: Chapter 357: Ye Yuanji’s Action

"It barely reached Tier Three, but it’s still a ways off from a true Tier Three Spirit Sword."

The rear courtyard of the Artifact Hall.

Chen Che caressed a White Bone Longsword. Its blade was long, slender, and crimson. It was clearly forged from the bones of that Fire Attribute Demon Flood Dragon from before. The blade was about eight feet long; the tip was fashioned from the creature’s tail and the hilt from its head, with a crimson Demon Pill embedded within.

After he injected his True Essence, the blade immediately hummed and trembled. Flames spread along its length, coalescing into the form of a Demon Python.

’It was forged from the core vertebrae of the Demon Flood Dragon. The fact that it could become a Tier Three Weapon is largely thanks to the high quality of the materials.’

With a casual flourish of the sword, Chen Che turned his attention to another one.

However, the Flying Sword forged from the core vertebrae of the other Golden Core Demon Python wasn’t so lucky. It was merely a Tier Two High Grade weapon, and that was even with a Demon Pill embedded in it. When True Essence was injected, the phantom image of the Demon Python was extremely faint.

"Please punish me, Valley Master."

Liang Yuan cupped his fist, feeling quite uneasy.

’With two Golden Core Realm Flood Dragon Pythons, a more skilled Artifact Refiner could have forged at least three or four Tier Three Weapons. Then, with the leftover scraps, it would have been no problem to forge several dozen Tier Two Weapons.’

’But I’ve wasted more than half of it...’

"It’s decent."

Chen Che nodded slightly.

’To forge a Tier Three Weapon with a cultivation base of only the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer is proof enough of his considerable talent, even if he had to rely on superior materials.’

’After all, he was the one Jia Chaoyuan had handpicked to inherit his legacy.’

"While forging this Spirit Sword, I think something just clicked. It felt like a stroke of inspiration. If I were to forge it again, I believe the success rate would be much higher."

Liang Yuan didn’t understand the true meaning behind the words "It’s decent," so he braced himself and replied.

"Once you have the experience of success, it becomes easier the next time. Mastery in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation is never achieved overnight. The true path is built upon gradual, steady accumulation."

Chen Che put away the Spirit Sword, then handed over a Jade Bottle and explained:

"This is your reward for forging a Tier Three Spirit Sword."

"Oh?"

Liang Yuan was a little puzzled. He uncorked the bottle and glanced inside, and his eyes widened in an instant. Inside the Jade Bottle was just a single, small drop of clear Pill Liquid. It looked like molten crystal, its dazzling Spiritual Light nearly overflowing from the mouth of the bottle.

He looked at Chen Che in astonishment:

"Valley Master, this is...?"

"It’s called Nameless Pill Liquid. Dilute it thirty times with water from a Spiritual Spring or other Spiritual Water. At your current cultivation level, you mustn’t drink more than five drops at a time."

Casually sweeping all the Flying Swords from the table into storage, Chen Che turned back and explained:

"What you lack now is simply cultivation and experience. Cultivation takes time, and experience must be accumulated. I’ve planted a Taibai Jade Bamboo Forest on the back mountain. When you have time, go cut down a couple of stalks and use them to practice. Don’t be afraid to fail."

After offering Liang Yuan a few more words of encouragement, he finally departed.

Liang Yuan sized up the medicine bottle again, then eagerly diluted the Pill Liquid. Following Chen Che’s instructions, he drank five drops on the spot. The moment the liquid entered his mouth and rolled into his stomach, he felt as if his Dantian was about to explode.

’Such pure, immense Spiritual Qi! Just these five drops are worth more than three months of my cultivation. This is no ordinary Pill Liquid.’

It took him the better part of half a day to fully absorb the Spiritual Qi. Liang Yuan couldn’t help but open his eyes in excitement. He glanced at the Jade Bottle again. ’This entire bottle of Spirit Liquid is enough to raise me to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer! No wonder Master was willing to let me stay in Jinyun Valley.’

He knew. An item like this was no ordinary thing. Besides his master, only Chen Che would be willing to give it to him.

This act greatly increased his goodwill toward Chen Che.

Back when they were forging the Red Dragon Lock Chain, Jia Chaoyuan had once told him:

"If I am the one who guides you onto the path of cultivation, then Valley Master Chen is your benefactor. With his guidance, you can avoid at least several decades of pointless struggle."

And now, reality had proven those words true.

And it wasn’t just decades—it was more like a century.

’The additions to the Sword Box still aren’t sufficient.’

After performing a brief Sacrificial Refinement on the Spirit Sword Liang Yuan had forged, Chen Che finally placed it inside the Sword Box.

Of course, he didn’t need to refine it to the same extent that Dan Xuanzi once had.

Because this Sword Box was merely one part of his disguise.

’Duobao, did you really think this debt would be erased just because you’re hiding in the Primordial Sect?’

Chen Che muttered in a low voice, stroking the Sword Box.

Tang Linli was naturally unaware that the bounty on Duobao in Faqian City had risen to two million. However, he had revealed a crucial piece of information: since returning from the Black Tortoise Calm Sea, Duobao had left the mountain once, but returned in less than three days.

It was suspected that he had been in a fight.

Clearly, the high bounty had prompted some Loose Cultivators to make a move.

’Forget it. I’ll see how long you can stay holed up.’

He let out a breath, put away the Sword Box, and then took out the Jade Bottle. With a flick of his finger, a drop of Pill Liquid flew out.

As a Golden Core Realm cultivator, he naturally didn’t need to dilute it and could consume the Pill Liquid directly.

’As expected of a Pill Liquid formed from the sedimentation of a Tier Four Elixir over several centuries, the Spiritual Qi is simply too abundant. It’s like gathering all the spiritual qi in one place and swallowing it in a single gulp.’

Every cell in Chen Che’s body seemed to cry out in joy, greedily absorbing the pure, surging Spiritual Qi from that single drop of Pill Liquid.

’It’s a pity this Pill Liquid can’t be reproduced... After settling for several hundred years, it might form a pure liquid, or it might just turn into a pile of ash. Was this really a pill meant to help one form a Nascent Soul?’

Wreathed in a misty vapor, Chen Che opened his eyes, in a great mood.

After getting the Pill Liquid, he had of course immediately gone to consult Li Tingyu. He had felt a slight sense of regret upon learning it couldn’t be replicated. But on second thought, this was the accidental byproduct of a failed pill refinement. Why would he want to replicate it?

’If I had that kind of ability, why not just refine the pill directly?’

For the next several days, Jinyun Valley was a hive of activity.

The Liu Clan Members spread out like stars across the sky, searching everywhere for suitable locations to plant the Taibai Jade Bamboo. As soon as a spot was found, they would immediately inform Jinyun Valley, and Chen Che would in turn dispatch disciples to stand guard over the bamboo grove.

At the same time, the valley’s intelligence network began operating for the first time, searching for any and all news related to Primordial Sect missions.

Meanwhile, Tang Linli paid another visit, this time specifically to deliver Alchemy Materials. Even as the acting Sect Leader, True Master Duobao couldn’t afford to be too harsh on Jinyun Valley in this regard.

However, he also brought some rather grim news.

"Ye Yuanji contacted several Golden Core Loose Cultivators and disappeared after leaving the Primordial Sect? Where did he go? Who were those people?" Chen Che pressed.

"I’m not sure."

Tang Linli shook his head.

Chen Che’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Doesn’t know, or... doesn’t dare to say?’
