The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

A mysterious insight from the Jade Scroll flooded into his mind, forming two pitch-black words... the Godslaying Technique! In an instant, an aura of slaughter washed over him. Qin Ya’s Divine Thought trembled, a sharp pain shot through his head, and he was involuntarily forced out!

Linx Xiaoyun looked at Qin Ya, smiled faintly, and said, "This is a Mysterious Technique formed from Mo Chou’s comprehension of the Mysterious nature of slaughter. During that battle, he gave this Jade Scroll to me, hoping it could one day be passed on to the right person."

"Unfortunately, in the last ten years, no one in Kunyun Palace has been able to comprehend the Mysterious nature of slaughter, and that includes you. However, your temperament is somewhat similar to Mo Chou’s, and the Mysterious principles you have comprehended are also somewhat similar to slaughter. That’s why I am giving it to you."

"Keep up the good work. I hope you can reach the level of a Law Enforcement Envoy within three years. When that time comes, I’ll finally agree to those old geezers’ request and become a Law Enforcement Elder." After speaking, Linx Xiaoyun sat down beside the lonely grave and began to drink quietly.

Not wishing to disturb him, Qin Ya returned to his own residence.

"Godslaying Technique!"

Gazing at the Jade Scroll in his hand, Qin Ya sent his Divine Thought into it once more.

That mysterious insight appeared again. A vast aura of slaughter, like a tidal wave, surged forth relentlessly, wave after wave crashing against his mind.

Qin Ya gritted his teeth, circulating his Divine Thought at full power as he tried to comprehend the wonders contained within the Godslaying Technique. However, he could only last for less than an hour before being forced out.

He sat on his bed, his face pale and drenched in sweat. Waves of exhaustion radiated from his Divine Thought. He quickly took out a Nourishing Spirit Pill and consumed it, only then did his condition improve.

’Comprehending one’s own Mysterious Technique and comprehending another’s are truly two different concepts, especially a top-tier Mysterious Technique like slaughter.’

Qin Ya shook his head and sighed. ’Given my current state, if I want to truly comprehend the Godslaying Technique, I must first increase the strength of my Divine Thought. Fortunately, I used my Points to exchange for many precious medicinal ingredients at the Law Enforcement Hall. I can refine some Elixirs to enhance my Divine Thought. With the addition of the Quenching God Array, strengthening my Divine Thought won’t be difficult.’

In the following days, Qin Ya stopped trying to comprehend Mysterious principles and instead used the Quenching God Array to increase the strength of his Divine Thought. In his spare time, after much consideration, he ruled out a few Elixirs, gathered the necessary ingredients, and prepared to refine a furnace of Spirit Pills... the Refining God Pill!

One clear and beautiful day, Qin Ya arrived atop a mountain peak and took out the Primordial Heaven Qi Furnace.

The body of the Ting Xiao Sword trembled slightly, and a voice emerged from it: "Kid, when Refining a Spirit Pill, a Thunder Tribulation is sure to arrive. From what I know, this is a trial from the World Will. It cannot be stopped. Even Kunyun Palace’s Defensive Grand Array will be of no use. If that happens, your Alchemy skills will be exposed. Are you sure about this?"

"Heh, if they’re exposed, they’re exposed. It’s not like I was planning on hiding them forever anyway."

’When a Pill Venerable performs Alchemy, why would he need to hide?’

’Besides, after revealing my Alchemy Skill, I’m certain to be held in higher regard within Kunyun Palace. Things will be much more convenient for me in the future.’

’After all, being a Pill King is no small matter.’

"Yo, Young Friend Qin, what are you doing here?" At that moment, Linx Xiaoyun approached slowly, taking sips from a wine jug. He saw the Three-Legged Large Furnace in front of Qin Ya and froze for a second. Then, his expression turned a little strange.

’If I’m not mistaken, that should be an Alchemy Furnace, right?’

’Don’t tell me Young Friend Qin is about to perform Alchemy.’

Suddenly, his brow relaxed. ’Considering Qin Ya’s insights on medicinal wine not long ago, it’s perfectly normal for him to have a certain level of skill in the Alchemy Dao and know how to perform Alchemy. After all, I myself am a Fifth-Grade Alchemist. It’s just that I’ve been so focused on my Cultivation over the years that my Alchemy Skill has long since grown rusty.’

"Law Enforcement Envoy Linx, you’ve arrived. I was just preparing to perform Alchemy."

"So I see. I wonder what Elixir Young Friend Qin is planning to refine? A Sixth Grade one? Or Seventh Grade? If you need an Elixir, couldn’t you just complete a few missions and exchange for one at the Law Enforcement Hall? Why go to all the trouble of performing Alchemy yourself?"

Qin Ya smiled and said, "It’s purely a hobby."

’Besides, how could a Spirit Pill be something so easily exchanged for?’

’In the Law Enforcement Hall, even the lowest-level Spirit Pill costs several thousand Points.’

"A hobby, heh. The Alchemy Dao is vast and profound. It’s fine if it’s just a casual interest, but if you want to master it, it’s no easier than Martial Arts."

"Yes, Law Enforcement Envoy Linx is correct."

Qin Ya understood this deeply. In his previous life, although he had reached unprecedented heights on the path of the Alchemy Dao, even he wouldn’t have dared to claim he had reached its end.

Putting aside his thoughts, Qin Ya paid no mind to Linx Xiaoyun’s presence and directly took out a variety of medicinal ingredients. As the ingredients appeared one by one, the eyes of Linx Xiaoyun, who was drinking off to the side, grew wider and wider. He was so stunned that he only snapped back to his senses when wine spilled onto his lapels.

Gazing at the ground covered in ingredients that shimmered with a faint, magnificent light, Linx Xiaoyun swallowed hard. He was also an Alchemist, and he recognized many of the ingredients.

Seven-Colored Ganoderma, Nine Bends Dragon Emperor Grass, Jade Ghost Dew...

Every single one of them was at least Seventh Grade, and there were even some wondrous Eighth Grade herbs! If these were exchanged for Primordial Stones, they would be worth several million jin at the very least!

"Um, Young Friend Qin, I wonder... what Elixir are you planning to refine?"

"The Refining God Pill!"

Qin Ya replied without even turning his head. Once he entered his Alchemy state, his mind was completely captivated by the ingredients before him, his focus absolute. But when Linx Xiaoyun heard the name "Refining God Pill," his jaw dropped, and his face filled with astonishment.

’The Refining God Pill?’

’If I remember correctly, that’s a Spirit Pill, isn’t it?’

’And what’s more, it’s a Spirit Pill whose Pill Formula was lost long ago!’

He then shook his head and chuckled softly. ’Leaving aside how Qin Ya could possibly know about such a long-lost Elixir, even if he did, how could he have the ability to refine it? That’s a Spirit Pill! In all of Kunyun Palace, only one or two people are capable of Refining one. Qin Ya? Please, he’s just a teenager.’

’It must be some other Elixir with the same name.’

’But then, what’s with all these precious ingredients?’

Linx Xiaoyun felt a deep sense of confusion. Just as he was about to step forward and ask, Qin Ya finished taking out all the ingredients, arranged them in specific positions, and began to melt them down. Linx Xiaoyun couldn’t help but sigh and retract the foot he had put forward.

He was once an Alchemist.

He knew from experience that disturbing an Alchemist during Alchemy was a great taboo.

’Whatever. I’ll just wait and see what tricks he’s up to.’

Qin Ya activated his True Essence, and Flames soared into the air. They transformed into several Fire Dragons that coiled around the Furnace Cauldron, spitting streams of fire to melt the medicinal ingredients.

The extreme heat made the area for hundreds of yards around feel as if it were being scorched by a blazing sun.

This made Linx Xiaoyun, who was watching from the side, click his tongue in wonder. This method of controlling Flames to melt ingredients displayed an extraordinary level of control that was truly admirable.

’Heh, just based on this Flame control technique alone, I am already his inferior.’

’It seems Young Friend Qin’s skill in the Alchemy Dao cannot be underestimated. He’s at least stronger than I am. Sixth Grade? Seventh Grade? Not only has he made extraordinary achievements in Martial Arts, but his Talent for the Alchemy Dao is also a cut above the rest. He’s a true monster.’
