Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 608 - 427: Fire Phoenix Pill, the Divine Pill Pavilion’s Olive Branch

...

Wangyue City, Divine Pill Pavilion.

With Lin Chang’sheng’s guidance, Wu Gang found refining the Fire Phoenix Pill to be a breeze.

In just three hours, all the medicinal ingredients were refined, their properties incredibly stable, without a trace of backlash.

If Wu Gang had done it alone, he probably wouldn’t have such an easy time even after eight or ten tries.

He’d end up burning through a lot more material.

"You can start condensing the pill now!"

Lin Chang’sheng instructed.

Wu Gang didn’t dare to hesitate and began condensing the elixir.

He’d expected the process to take at least half a day, maybe longer, but with Lin Chang’sheng’s direction, the pill could be condensed in just three hours.

As Wu Gang slowly condensed the elixir, waves of medicinal fragrance drifted out of the Alchemy Room.

"Is... is that the scent of medicine?"

Liu Siyue’s eyes widened, a look of disbelief in her gaze.

She was still waiting for Lin Chang’sheng’s furnace to explode, but never expected the medicinal aroma to arise so quickly.

So, the Fire Phoenix Pill was nearly complete?

"What kind of monster is this guy?"

Liu Siyue grumbled in annoyance—it’s one thing for his cultivation to be strong, but his alchemy skills were outright freakish.

As Wu Gang condensed the pill, the fragrance grew stronger, along with a faint feeling of heat in the air.

This was the difference brought by the Fire Phoenix Pill.

Because the Fire Phoenix Pill contained Fire Phoenix Blood, which was a Supreme Yang Object—though refined and merged into the pill, remained fiercely potent.

This pill has powerful effects of marrow-washing, body-strengthening, and vessel-cutting.

"Stop the flame! As for the core formation rate, that’s up to your own creation!"

Lin Chang’sheng sensed the elixir was formed, and spoke calmly.

Wu Gang promptly stopped the flame and stood up, opening the furnace.

Inside lay three fiery red pills, quietly resting.

Each pill was the size of a fingernail, brilliant scarlet like jade, radiating waves of heat that made the air warp; the scent of medicine pervaded in all directions.

There were distinctive pill patterns swirling on the surface—not fixed, but constantly moving.

One look made it clear these pills were extraordinary.

Unfortunately, Wu Gang’s Fire Phoenix Pills had a core formation rate of just thirty percent; if Lin Chang’sheng had refined them, it’d be well over sixty.

Still, this was only Wu Gang’s second time refining the Fire Phoenix Pill, so thirty percent wasn’t too shabby.

It showed that his alchemy talent was impressive as well.

"It actually worked?"

Wu Gang could hardly believe his eyes—his second try at the Fire Phoenix Pill yielded a 30% core formation rate.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior! These two pills are yours!"

Wu Gang was direct and generous, handing two pills to Lin Chang’sheng.

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t refuse, accepting them right away—a good pill is never too many, after all.

"Where’s the pill formula?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked bluntly.

Now that the Fire Phoenix Pill was complete, Lin Chang’sheng naturally wanted to get the formula and leave.

"Ah, my memory! Senior, please follow me."

Saying so, Wu Gang led Lin Chang’sheng out the door.

Outside the room, a crowd had already gathered.

Liu Siyue, Zhan Shao, and others were among them.

Liu Siyue saw Lin Chang’sheng come out and immediately lost all her arrogance.

Lin Chang’sheng’s alchemy had crushed her—they weren’t even in the same league.

Even her master had to address him as Senior Lin Chang’sheng.

Judging by the scent, Lin Chang’sheng had succeeded in helping Wu Gang refine the Fire Phoenix Pill.

That left Liu Siyue feeling entirely humiliated.

She’d thought Lin Chang’sheng would mock her on his way out, but he only glanced at her before leaving.

"What’s so smug about that? I’ll surpass your alchemy one day!"

Liu Siyue muttered to herself.

Even if it stung, she couldn’t say it out loud now.

"This Lin Chang’sheng is really something! His alchemy is insane—even Second Grade Elixirs are no problem?"

"For real! The Immortal Palace snagged a treasure—this kind of prodigy, who knows what heights he’ll reach!"

"Wonder who’ll be lucky enough to become his Dao companion someday—she’d have to be a real goddess!"

"No kidding. Ordinary talents can’t measure up to him."

.....

As Lin Chang’sheng followed Wu Gang up to the fifth floor, whispered conversations trailed behind him.

Most were marveling at his talent.

The Immortal Realm wasn’t short on prodigies, but few were as dazzling as Lin Chang’sheng.

After arriving on the fifth floor with Wu Gang, Lin Chang’sheng found himself in the Pill Formula Room, filled with various pill recipes.

The highest tier available was the First Grade Pill Formula.

Though Lin Chang’sheng longed for the First Grade pill formulas, those comprised the Divine Pill Pavilion’s foundation—fat chance they’d hand one over.

So, after sifting through the Third Grade pill formulas, he picked one called Flood Dragon Pill.

This pill boosts potential and rapid cultivation growth, with minimal side effects—could come in handy when it counts.

"Senior, there’s something I’d like to ask—if that’s alright!"

Just as Lin Chang’sheng took the formula and prepared to leave, Wu Gang spoke up.

"Alchemist Wu, no need to stand on ceremony. Go ahead."

Lin Chang’sheng replied.

Wu Gang was true to his word, and Lin Chang’sheng’s impression of him was pretty good.

"With your alchemical skills, Senior, have you considered joining our Divine Pill Pavilion? We’re spread throughout the Nine Provinces, with no shortage of geniuses. Although our hearts are set on alchemy, I don’t need to explain how vital pills are for cultivators. Your martial arts talent wouldn’t go to waste! As long as you’d join the Divine Pill Pavilion, I promise you’d at least get the Pavilion Master post—maybe higher!"

Wu Gang said sincerely.

He genuinely wanted to recruit Lin Chang’sheng for Divine Pill Pavilion.

A prodigy like this—he couldn’t let slip through his fingers.

Pavilion Master was basically Wu Gang’s current role.

The manager of a city’s Divine Pill Pavilion.

Above Pavilion Master are the Elders.

Wu Gang’s cultivation was Mahayana Stage, so he could only be Pavilion Master—so the elders must be even stronger, and their alchemy even greater.

"Thank you for the offer, Alchemist Wu, but I’m used to my freedom. I don’t think joining Divine Pill Pavilion would suit me,"

Lin Chang’sheng gently declined.

Though he coveted the pill formulas, he wasn’t about to sign up lightly.

After all, he was already an Immortal Palace disciple—joining another faction would be betraying the Immortal Palace.

"If Senior’s worried the Immortal Palace won’t approve, you could serve as an Honored Guest Elder. You’d get a monthly stipend of three thousand Immortal Crystals, and only have to refine a single furnace of pills each month! Plus, you’d get access to all the Divine Pill Pavilion’s formulas! What do you think?"

Wu Gang made another offer.

From the look of things, he wasn’t giving up until he recruited Lin Chang’sheng.

Honestly, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but be tempted.

Forget the three thousand Immortal Crystals—just refining one furnace a month and unlimited access to pill formulas was enough to make him drool.

Lin Chang’sheng could fuse pill formulas—if he joined as an Honored Guest Elder,

he’d be able to study the pills freely and surely fuse some Divine Pill Level recipes!

"You’re sure? Just one furnace a month, and no strings attached to Divine Pill Pavilion?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked.

This offer was almost too good.

"Absolutely the truth! If I’m lying, let Heaven strike me down!"

Wu Gang saw Lin Chang’sheng was interested and immediately promised.

If Divine Pill Pavilion gained Lin Chang’sheng, another legendary alchemist would be born!

"Alright! In that case, I’ll accept the Honored Guest Elder position!"

Lin Chang’sheng agreed without hesitation.

Refining one furnace a month was child’s play for Lin Chang’sheng.

He figured the pills wouldn’t be too hard, and even if they were, he could always use his panel to simplify them.

It was basically like having pill formulas delivered to his door.

"Great! I’ll make the report now! In just a few days, your Guest Minister Token will arrive! Then you’ll be free to enter any Divine Pill Pavilion and peruse all their formulas!"

Wu Gang was absolutely thrilled.

With Lin Chang’sheng taking up as Honored Guest Elder today, there’d surely be a chance to get him to join the Pavilion as Elder in the future.

No need to rush—it’ll happen step by step.
