Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 879 - 853: The Sixth Valley Master
Chapter 879: Chapter 853: The Sixth Valley Master
Tangyu had been in the Pill Hall for a month already, completely oblivious to the outside world.
Inside the secret chamber, another round of alchemy concluded. This time, Tangyu and the other three were so exhausted that they sat on the ground, panting heavily.
The month-long frenzied alchemical practices took an enormous toll on their bodies, pushing them to the very limits of their endurance.
Of course, for all the sweat they had shed, the rewards were immensely gratifying. The thirty-two Immortal Spirit Fruits were perfectly utilized, with not a single one wasted.
Initially, they could only refine twelve Immortal Spirit Pills from each Immortal Spirit Fruit, but gradually, the yield increased. By the last batch, Tangyu managed to refine eighteen pills from a single fruit, an astonishing result.
It’s worth noting that according to legend, even the Pill King of ancient times could only refine ten pills from one Immortal Spirit Fruit.
Such extraordinary results were attributed by the three Alchemy Elders to their combined efforts or perhaps the ancient Pill King’s pursuit of perfection.
Only Tangyu knew the real reason lay in the superior Pill Refining Path detailed in his "Guide to Refining Immortal Pills," which surpassed the ancient Pill King’s methods.
In the end, they refined a total of 467 Immortal Spirit Pills from the thirty-two fruits—twice the number predicted by the Alchemy Elder, truly a phenomenal outcome. Four hundred and sixty-seven pills; that’s equivalent to producing 467 individuals at the Earthly Realm.
Such a number of Earthly Realm experts would be more than half of the Sacred Valley’s current strength. If their strength were to increase so drastically, the Sacred Valley’s power would be significantly elevated.
The enormous success brought immense joy to the four individuals, filling them with the pleasure of their achievement.
Additionally, their mastery of the Pill Refining Path had greatly improved, even breaking through a significant level. The Alchemy Skills of the three Alchemy Elders were now unmatched within the Ancient Martial Realm.
Tangyu’s alchemical skills had also advanced to the third layer of the "Guide to Refining Immortal Pills," although he still had some practice left. Given time, reaching the state of perfection of the third layer was within his grasp, just a matter of time.
After a short rest, the four of them almost fully recovered.
The Alchemy Elder collected the Immortal Spirit Pills, and with the alchemy finally complete, they could relax a bit.
The Alchemy Elder looked at Tangyu with gratitude and said, "Tangyu, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to witness such profound alchemical techniques. Without you, our alchemy skills would have been stuck at the same level for the rest of our lives. And without you, these Immortal Spirit Pills wouldn’t have been refined. This time, you are the greatest benefactor of the Sacred Valley, with merits too numerous to count."
"That’s right, Tangyu. Thank you so much. We were stuck at one level for far too long. Who would have thought that we could break through this time and fulfill our lifelong dreams and wishes."
"In these turbulent times, I have a feeling, Tangyu, that you might rise up and become a significant figure who stirs the heavens and earth."
The other two Elders echoed the sentiment, each giving high praise to Tangyu.
Tangyu smiled slightly and said, "You flatter me, Elders. All I seek is to protect myself and my family. Whether I become a significant figure or a hero, I don’t really care. What I care about is pursuing the Dao, the path to immortality. That is my ultimate goal."
The Alchemy Elder sighed with emotion, "Pursuing immortality, seeking the path to becoming an immortal, has been a quest since the times of Pangu and Nuwa, but nobody has ever found it. Does this path truly exist?"
"Whether it exists or not can only be known by seeking it. There’s a saying, ’There was originally no path in this world, but as more people walked it, it became a path.’" Tangyu said.
The Alchemy Elder nodded approvingly, "Indeed, Tangyu, your unwavering belief is commendable. We are old; it’s enough if we can enjoy our remaining years in peace. The future belongs to you young people."
The Alchemy Elder’s expression suddenly changed, and he walked over to open the chamber door. A figure entered.
The newcomer appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, dressed in a bronzed long robe, resembling an ancient hero, with sword-like brows reaching his temples. Despite this, he emanated friendliness rather than severity, with a kind and approachable smile.
However, the powerful aura he exuded felt as if a Heavenly God’s presence, compelling everyone to kneel in awe.
This feeling was akin to seeing Mount Tai for the first time.
Seeing the newcomer, Tangyu was slightly taken aback and immediately understood that this must be one of the Sacred Valley’s masters. Only someone at the Imaginary Realm could possess such a fearsome oppressive presence.
"Greetings, Sixth Valley Master." The three Alchemy Elders immediately greeted respectfully.
Tangyu also paid his respects, "Greetings, Sixth Valley Master."
The Sacred Valley had a total of seventeen Valley Masters and one Great Valley Master. These eighteen individuals represented the pinnacle of the Sacred Valley’s power.
Seventeen Valley Masters are ranked based on the time they became Valley Masters; the earlier one becomes a Valley Master, the higher they rank. The Sixth Valley Master, judging by the rankings, clearly became a Valley Master very early, so it’s evident that he is an incredibly powerful Valley Master.
The Sixth Valley Master smiled and nodded to the four people, saying, "No need to be so polite; the four of you have worked hard. We will remember your contributions. This calamity, I hope your contributions will minimize the losses for Myriad Saints Valley. Elder Danmo, I heard you have successfully refined the Immortal Spirit Pills. Tell me the details."
Elder Danmo immediately replied, "Replying to the Sixth Valley Master, all the Immortal Spirit Pills have been completed. A total of 467 Immortal Spirit Pills have been refined."
"What—" Hearing this number, the Sixth Valley Master was also quite surprised: "467 pills, that’s so many?"
Elder Danmo nodded, "Yes, Sixth Valley Master, there are indeed that many. The main credit goes to Tangyu. It was his contribution of the pill refining method that allowed us to succeed in refining these Immortal Spirit Pills. Moreover, with the combined efforts of the four of us, we performed exceptionally, resulting in such a large number of Immortal Spirit Pills. Sixth Valley Master, here are all the Immortal Spirit Pills, please take a look."
As he spoke, Elder Danmo handed over a Jade Vase. Although the vase was not large, it had the effect of a Qiankun Bag, containing a miniature universe inside, capable of holding many things. This was a treasure from ancient times.
The Sixth Valley Master took the Jade Vase and inspected it briefly, confirming its contents.
"Haha, good, good, good, this is excellent." The Sixth Valley Master praised repeatedly, laughing heartily: "Well done, indeed. Your contributions this time are truly significant. Especially Tangyu, a young man who has made such a great contribution to Myriad Saints Valley, truly commendable. Tangyu, rest assured, your merits will be remembered, and Myriad Saints Valley will not treat you unfairly. In the future, if you have any requests, feel free to ask, and we will try to meet them."
Tangyu replied, "Thank you, Sixth Valley Master. This is what I should do. As a disciple of Myriad Saints Valley, it is natural to help alleviate its burdens."
"Hmm, excellent, you have a commendable disposition and boundless potential. You truly are a rare genius." The Sixth Valley Master nodded with utmost approval.
With his discerning eye, he could easily see that Tangyu’s cultivation level was at the Seventh Level of the Earthly Realm.
To have reached such heights in such a short time, if not unprecedented, is still incredibly remarkable.
Not only that, but in the path of alchemy, Tangyu had also reached such a terrifying level, which might truly be said to be unprecedented. Even the Pill King of ancient times was not so extraordinary in his youth, was he?
For Myriad Saints Valley to have such an extraordinary disciple truly is a great fortune.
The Sixth Valley Master said, "I have always rewarded merit accordingly. I will soon come up with a plan to distribute these Immortal Spirit Pills. Originally, you were to receive substantial rewards, but due to the current critical times, significant rewards will be postponed. However, small rewards will still be given. Each of you will receive ten Immortal Spirit Pills to distribute as you wish."
The Sixth Valley Master waved his hand, and ten Immortal Spirit Pills flew into the hands of each person.
Of course, Tangyu and the others did not refuse, considering it a small token for their hard work. Besides, Tangyu did indeed need Immortal Spirit Pills; ten pills were just a small amount for him, not enough to go around.
Fortunately, Tangyu still had a few Immortal Spirit Fruits in his possession. If needed, he could ask Elder Danmo for some materials to refine them. But for now, there was no rush. When the time comes, it will be addressed then.
"Alright, I shall take my leave." The Sixth Valley Master said.
"Respectfully sending off the Sixth Valley Master!"
After seeing off the Sixth Valley Master, Tangyu also took his leave: "Elders, I will take my leave first. If there is anything, please call for me."
Elder Danmo nodded, "Alright, I’ll see you out."
Upon leaving the Pill Hall, Tangyu went straight back to his palace.
In the palace, Liang Youshan and the three others, along with Fang Yishui and three others, totaling seven people, spent their days either cultivating or chatting in the living room. Such a life seemed rather dull and tedious.
Without computers, cell phones, or anything electronic, they couldn’t go out or even wander around. There were no shops, and they couldn’t buy anything they wanted, making it feel like they were isolated from the world.
Li Feng adapted well, being a disciple of the Ancient Martial Arts Family, he was used to such a lifestyle. However, Fang Yishui, Yang Xiaoyu, and Feng Tian found it hard to adapt. Having lived in Donglin City, they were accustomed to a certain way of life, and adjusting to this new environment was challenging.
So, they could only dedicate themselves to cultivating tirelessly every day.
Their gains over the past month had been immense.
With special privileges from Myriad Saints Valley, they received many resources. Using these resources and under Liang Youshan’s guidance, the three of them successfully advanced to the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm. Even Li Feng reached the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm as well.
Such rapid progress in just a month brought them immense joy.
