Chapter 43: Ten Thousand Years

Before he could recover, the spirit plant inside the Pill Furnace had already melted into liquid, not at all becoming the charred mess he had imagined.

"How is this possible?" Elder Qing felt that the shock he received today was more than what he had received in a year.

"There is nothing impossible about it. If you turn your Medicine Cauldron into a part of your own body, you will be able to do it too."

Qin Ming did not speak much, but who knew how much suffering he had endured in his past life to reach this Realm today?

It could be said that in his past life, he ate and slept in the Alchemy room, accompanying his Pill Furnace to sleep all day long.

He was incomparably familiar with every structure of the Pill Furnace; he had spent a full ten thousand years practicing Alchemy.

Ten thousand years—the Pill Furnace became a part of him, and the spirit plant became the only thing in his life.

In the end, he broke through his Bottleneck, advanced triumphantly, and became a Pill Emperor who stunned the world.

His Talent was not very good, and he even deliberately did not undergo Awakening for his Innate Divine Ability, waiting until he, the Pill Furnace, and the spirit plant merged into one.

Any Talent became nothing but dog shit in front of them.

I am the Medicinal Pill, and the Medicinal Pill is me.

"Condense!" The Pill Furnace flames extinguished rapidly, and Medicinal Pills condensed one by one.

"Open the furnace!" Qin Ming said with a calm expression.

This was the same as every time he had practiced Alchemy over the past ten thousand years; there was nothing worth watching.

"Okay… okay." Azure Flame, who was still stunned, heard this and reacted instantly, hurriedly opening the lid of the Pill Furnace.

"One, two, three… nine."

"One, two, three… nineteen, twenty."

"Heavens! A full twenty Medicinal Pills, and all of them are at the perfect stage!"

Elder Qing looked at Qin Ming in shock and asked:

"Qin… Young Master Qin, how… how did you do it? Isn't it said that one set of spirit plant can only refine ten Medicinal Pills?"

"This is a recognized fact. How did you break this common rule?"

For this kind of Medicinal Pill that increases Martial Arts Strength, refining at most ten Medicinal Pills from one set of spirit plant was common knowledge.

"Because it is fast!" Qin Ming said with absolute certainty.

"Fast?"

"Yes, fast." Qin Ming nodded and said:

"Do you know that whether it is dissolving the spirit plant or removing Impurities, all these steps are wasting the medicinal property inside the spirit plant."

"Only by being fast enough can you ensure that the medicinal property inside the spirit plant is not lost, and only then can you refine the maximum quantity."

"Fast?" Elder Qing was thoughtful. "Then, how can I reach your Realm?"

"Reach my Realm?" Hearing this, Qin Ming laughed. "It is not difficult. As long as you practice Alchemy like this for ten thousand years, you can also reach my Realm."

"Unfortunately, there is only one God-level Innate Divine Ability for the Dao of Alchemy. Even if you ascend to the Pill God Realm, it is impossible to obtain the Pill God Physique."

"Ten thousand years, Pill God Physique?" Elder Qing did not know what Qin Ming was talking about.

Shaking his head, Qin Ming returned from his thoughts:

"Alright, let us talk about how you are going to reach the Pill Emperor."

Hearing this, Elder Qing immediately sat upright. He was now incomparably convinced by Qin Ming. A being who could practice Alchemy like this, even if he were not a Divine Alchemist, was at least at the Pill Emperor Realm.

Being able to receive instruction from a being of this level was truly a blessing he had cultivated in his past life.

"The reason why you cannot advance to Pill Emperor is because your foundation is not solid enough. Since that is the case, what you should do most right now is to train your foundation."

"When you can refine all Medicinal Pills below the sixth grade into the perfect stage, then you can advance to the Pill Emperor Realm without any obstacles."

"By the way, there is one more very important thing. When you usually practice Alchemy, you must never use your Innate Divine Ability."

Qin Ming said indifferently.

"Yes!" Azure Flame nodded. "If I cannot reach the Pill Emperor after receiving your instruction, I might as well just die."
