Chapter 245: The Perfect Medicinal Dan
Translator: Tatienne Editor: Rundi
To judge the quality of a medicinal Dan, there are three major criteria people seek for .
One is the rank . The higher the rank, the stronger the medicinal composition .
Two is the effects . Some spiritual Dans can have the lowest realm but have the most extreme effects .
The Luxury Dan for example, delivers insane results . Even though it belonged to the sixth-realm, its effects were comparable to Dans of higher realms .
Three is the rank of the Dan . The rank indicates just how much the Dan composes of medicine, which is particularly important .
As everyone already knows, medicinal Dans have miraculous effects, such as fastening cultivator’s training and healing internal wounds . However, very rarely do geniuses decide to consume medicinal Dans .
This was because every time medicinal Dans takes its effect on people, a small trace of poison is also released . If this poison is not expelled, it will stay within the body and slowly build up . As a result, the cultivator’s natural talent will be harmed, and their future becomes dim .
For this reason, no cultivator with extraordinary talent would lavishly consume medicinal Dans . After all, nobody would choose a temporary moment of success over a bright future with endless possibilities .
Of course, only one type of Dan is harmless for all, and that is the perfect tenth ranked Dan . However, to the Taoism community right now, this Dan has become a myth .
In the past few thousand years, nobody has been able to brew a perfect Dan!
Even the grandmasters who belonged to the first realm have not been able to achieve such feat . It did not mean that their alchemy skills were lacking, it was that they could not manipulate and infuse the spiritual medicines to perfection . Therefore, they have been unable to make a tenth ranked Dan .
From this, one can see how difficult it is to brew a perfect medicinal Dan .
Now, Ling Xian was about to attempt a perfect Foundational Dan . If successful, he would not only make the Immortal of Alchemy proud, his name would also rattle the world and leave an imprint in history .
It was exactly noon . The Sun was at the highest point .
White fog hugged the mountain peak, making everything appear hazy .
Ling Xian sat, unmovingly, in a lotus position on the ground, allowing the wind to blow on him .
Before him was a purple cauldron that was half a human tall . On it, were delicate art carvings of flowers, birds, fishes, insects, the Sun, the Moon, and other small patterns .
Placed beside the cauldron were 12 types of dazzling spiritual medicine . They were the ingredients needed to brew a Foundational Dan .
In reality, in those three years behind closed doors, Ling Xian has brewed the Foundational Dan several times . However, the best he’s done was an eighth ranked Dan . From this, it is obvious that the perfect Foundational Dan, to him, was a very difficult test .
However, he had confidence that he could make the perfect Foundational Dan .
Because he had the Essence of Herbalism and knew every ingredient by heart .
According to rumors, the first owner of the Essence of Herbalism was the legendary Shen Nong Shi .
This person spent his lifetime caring for the common people . Risking his own life, he collected and tasted hundreds of spiritual medicines and eventually became knowledgeable of all herbs in the Taoism community . From there, the Essence of Herbalism was born – the first of its kind in the mortal world .
This Dan Essence is incomparably magical . Every time the owner sees a spiritual medicine, all the information about it will appear in their brain . Acting as the encyclopedia of herbs, it was a treasure all alchemists desire .
The reason why Ling Xian was able to brew a seventh rank Dan the first time he ever tried was because of this Essence’s help .
Without the Dan Essence, there was no way his alchemy skills would grow so quickly . Within a short few years, he has achieved more glories than most alchemists ever could in their lifetime .
It was because of this Dan Essence that he has the guts to try brewing this now .
Why has nobody been able to brew the perfect spiritual Dan?
It was largely because nobody could manipulate and infuse the spiritual medicines to perfection . Even the grandmasters from the first realm could not achieve so .
However, the owner of the Essence of Herbalism, Ling Xian, can!
Not only does he know all the information regarding the spiritual medicines, but he could also maximize the effect of them and form the perfect combination .
From there, brewing the perfect Foundational Dan was not impossible .
Of course, this also did not mean that he will definitely make Dans of this caliber . Achieving that also required the perfect manipulation of soul, meticulous control of the flames as well as an extensive amount of alchemy experience .
Only when the combination of these four things reach an optimal point, could this feat be achieved!
Without a doubt, Ling Xian already possesses the most important aspect . As for the other three, only fate can decide .
"Phew…"
Ling Xian exhaled a breath of murky air . Staring at the purple cauldron before him, he muttered to himself, "If I can brew the perfect Foundational Dan, Master would be really proud . "
"Master, are you really going to attempt the perfect medicinal Dan? This isn’t a joking matter, you shouldn’t try," Yun Meng was worried that Ling Xian would not be able to deal with the failure .
"I understand your worry . Do not think too much . What kind of person am I? Even if I fail, I will not blink twice," Ling Xian gently laughed, assuring Yun Meng .
Then, he slowly closed his eyes and attempted to adjust his body to the best condition it could possibly be at .
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes wide . His mentality has been prepared, and it has now reached a peak it has never been before .
"Bring it on . Let me, Ling Xian, challenge this legend and break this unchanging scenery that’s been here for thousands of years!"
The corner of Ling Xian’s lips lifted . His eyes were sparkling, brimming with confidence .
