Chapter 1995 (Raw 2092): Dealing with the Pill Spirit

Seeing Xiao Chen’s confusion, the Third Palace Master explained, “Right now, it is no longer a conventional Divine Pill . It is now considered a lifeform with sentience, what is customarily known as a Pill Spirit . The process of refining a Divine Pill can produce one, but the chances are slim; it creates Pill Demons most of the time .

“However, once a Pill Spirit is born, it is even more valuable than a Divine Pill to an Alchemist . ”

Since Xiao Chen could refine some Medicinal Pills, he immediately understood the Third Palace Master’s explanation .

This was equivalent to the Alchemist gaining an assistant . Furthermore, this assistant lived in the cauldron amid the blazing fire . It could check the situation of the ingredients and the completion of the refinement .

Even the best Alchemist could not understand a Medicinal Pill’s condition in a medicine cauldron as well as a Pill Spirit could .

“You understand now?”

The Third Palace Master continued, “However, this Pill Spirit is somewhat hard to deal with . Normally, a Pill Spirit would feel some intimacy for their creator . However, its creator already died long ago; its situation is special . I tried to communicate with it several times but could not establish a connection at all . ”

Xiao Chen pondered, then said, “I’ll give it a try . ”

Even so, the Third Palace Master did not hold much hope . “It’s fine if you fail . There’s no need to force it . ”

Xiao Chen nodded to indicate his understanding . Then, he soared into the sky and landed on the medicine cauldron before jumping into the blazing fire .

There was a world of fire inside the medicine cauldron . Xiao Chen knew that it would be impossible to find the Pill Spirit if it wanted to hide .

He could only think of an unusual method .

This so-called unusual method was the carrot-and-stick method .

Just as Xiao Chen was about to speak, a path opened in the sea of flames in front . A small male child with exquisite facial features wearing a chest undergarment appeared before Xiao Chen .

The little boy glared at Xiao Chen and snarled in rage, “It’s you again! The last time, you already took ten percent of my Medicinal Energy . Now, you sent an old man to come and destroy me . If not for me being resilient, I would have died in that old man’s hands long ago . If you try to threaten me again this time, you can forget about leaving this medicine cauldron . We will die together . ”

“Rumble…!”

The little boy’s exquisite face looked exceptionally cute when irate .

However, he was not joking .

Xiao Chen felt somewhat embarrassed . He had been prepared to use the same trick as the previous time to deal with the Pill Spirit . Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to issue an ultimatum .

When Xiao Chen looked around, he saw the fire in the entire medicine cauldron gathering around them, forming a blazing fireball .

The medicine cauldron with divine characters suddenly flared with bright light, releasing overwhelming heat waves .

This startled the Third Palace Master, who was outside . “What’s going on in there? Why does it feel like this Pill Spirit has a deep grudge against Xiao Chen?”

“Whoosh!”

The Third Palace Master leaped up and landed on top of the medicine cauldron . When he looked down, the sight that greeted him greatly startled him .

He saw the fire that had filled every corner of the medicine cauldron had now coalesced into a dazzling fireball, which hovered in the medicine cauldron without scattering .

The Third Palace Master quickly sent out a strand of Soul Energy . After piercing through the fireball, he found that Xiao Chen was fine .

However, the Third Palace Master did not know what happened, so he still felt anxious .

Xiao Chen, how’s the situation?

It’s fine . I’ll speak with him .

Inside the fire barrier, Xiao Chen felt startled when he looked around .

However, he soon calmed down .

This was a Pill Spirit, after all . The more ferocious he appeared, the more cowardly he was .

Xiao Chen tried to pacify the Pill Spirit . “Don’t be rash . I’m not here to take your Medicinal Energy or refine you this time . If you were not sentient, I probably would think of a way to refine you . Since you are sentient, I really can’t bear to do it .

“This time, I am here to give you an opportunity . Look at your situation . If you remain in the fire for a long time without any Spiritual Energy to replenish yourself, your sentience will disappear eventually, right?”

The Pill Spirit’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not want to admit defeat . He retorted angrily, “So what? In any case, you want to take my Medicinal Energy, consuming me and refining me . I’m going to go down with you . ”

On reaching this point, Xiao Chen already had complete confidence . He countered calmly, “By doing that, aren’t you just going to benefit me? When you die, this rudimentary Divine Pill will lose sentience . I would not have any problems refining it . ”

“You…I will self-detonate at that time!” the Pill Spirit said sullenly when Xiao Chen pointed out the eventual result .

“There’s no need for both sides to go down . It would not be good for anyone . As long as you agree to help, not only will I not refine you, but I will even provide you with resources to help you cultivate . There were Pill Spirits in history that managed to attain the Dao . After you attain the Dao, you will detach from the Divine Pill, and I can naturally refine the Divine Pill then . ”

The Pill Spirit’s determination wavered but quickly hardened once more . He said, “You humans are not worth trusting . I will not cooperate . ”

Things already reached this point . Unexpectedly, the Pill Spirit was still so stubborn .

Xiao Chen frowned slightly . “I am half a master to you, after all . If not for me suppressing the Pill Demon, you would not be born . Are you really unwilling to work with me?”

The Pill Spirit’s determination wavered again . However, he resolutely shook his head in the end . “No . Since you obtained the medicine cauldron, you will be refining Medicinal Pills sooner or later . I will not take advantage of you . I’ll just take some of the Spiritual Energy generated by the refinement process . ”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “You don’t even know what I want your help with, and you already rejected me . It looks like your first impression of me is too bad . All I want is for you to help me shape the pills when I refine Medicinal Pills, just nourish the Medicinal Pills slightly . If so, not only would there be the Spiritual Energy from the process, but I will also give you extra natural treasures to help you cultivate . ”

The Pill Spirit asked with some disbelief, “Really?”

“Of course . I said before, helping you is akin to helping myself . By giving you resources, I would be further refining the Divine Pill . Once you become accomplished in your cultivation, the Divine Pill would be nearly complete . At that time, you can live independently from the Divine Pill, and I can consume the Divine Pill without any qualms . Isn’t that great?”

The Pill Spirit lowered his head and pondered . Evidently, Xiao Chen managed to tempt him .

Xiao Chen continued, “You can give it a try first . After all, you won’t lose anything . ”

“Alright . I’ll give it a try . ”

The Pill Spirit finally agreed . He waved his hand and scattered the fire . Then, Xiao Chen revealed a smile and soared up, flying out of the medicine cauldron .

“How was it?” the Third Palace Master asked anxiously .

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “He agreed to give it a try as long as we give him natural treasures . ”

When the Third Palace Master heard what Xiao Chen said, he felt pleasantly surprised . “That’s not a problem . Compared to what I will receive, the resources provided would not even be worth mentioning . This is great . Not only will my alchemy skills improve, but the Heavenly Dragon Palace might also experience a qualitative improvement because of this .

“Oh, by the way, how did you do it?”

The Pill Spirit was not even willing to meet with the Third Palace Master . Every time he tried to enter previously, he would end up covered in ashes . There were even a few times when he nearly escaped through the hole for medicinal dregs again .

The Third Palace Master had not held out much hope . Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen managed to solve this problem .

Xiao Chen smiled faintly . “The main reason was the Pill Spirit’s willingness to meet me . Although he almost killed me when we met, I managed to convince him in the end . ”

The Third Palace Master shot Xiao Chen a suspicious look as he said, “What exactly did you do to him, to create such a deep grudge? That startled me . I thought the medicine cauldron would explode . ”

Xiao Chen thought for a while . At that time, he had been in a rush to save a life, so he took ten percent of the Pill Spirit’s Medicinal Energy . It was indeed somewhat cruel .

It was like wresting away ten percent of a living person’s soul .

Xiao Chen did not answer the Third Palace Master’s question . Instead, his gaze fell on the medicine cauldron with divine characters . “Third Palace Master, I can let you use this medicine cauldron for one year for free . After one year, I need to take it back . Third Palace Master should not have any problems refining high-ranked Medicinal Pills using it . ”

Xiao Chen had his ideas . If he managed to rebuild the Azure Dragon Palace in the future, this medicine cauldron would be of great use .

He had taken the risk to convince the Pill Spirit partly because of his plans for his Azure Dragon bloodline .

The Third Palace Master found this unfortunate . However, this medicine cauldron belonged to Xiao Chen in the first place .

Just using this medicine cauldron for one year was already an excellent opportunity . The Third Palace Master said, “Alright, as long as I can provide it, you can get any resources you lack from me for this one year . ”

“Many thanks . ”

The Third Palace Master smiled and said, “What are you being so polite with me for? Quickly go back and prepare . The trip to the Silver Dragon Palace is an opportunity to expand your horizons . Grasp it properly . ”

“Yes . ”
