Chapter 53: Simplifying the Complex
shengzong, just destroyed wasn't Jiuyi Sect's mountain gate!""It's impossible!"As soon as Jiang Yun spoke, Ren Dinghan and Hua Hongniang both blurted out their opposition at the same time. Even the on...If someone else saw this pill prescription, they would be absolutely shocked, because this is a medicinal pill exclusive to cultivators of the Blessed Land realm. To be precise, it's a medicinal pill specifically for cultivators of the ninth level of the Blessed Land realm.
The only function of the Heaven-Piercing Pill is to open up a celestial cave, which is to increase the possibility of success for cultivators when they break through from the Blessed Land Realm to the Celestial Cave Realm.
To know, the path of cultivation, as one's realm grows higher and higher, wanting to ascend further, even a small realm becomes increasingly difficult. Not to mention a great realm, it is truly harder than ascending to heaven.
This can be seen from the composition of members within the Question Dao Sect.
Throughout the entire sect, there are tens of thousands of disciples at the Pulse Meridian Realm. However, there are only dozens at the Blessed Land Realm, and only five peak masters from the Five Peaks are at the Cave Heaven Realm.
Therefore, when a cultivator breaks through to a higher realm, even if it only increases their chances of success by a few points, it is already an incredibly rare and difficult feat.
Besides, the Tongtian Pill is a third-rank elixir, and only alchemists of rank three or above can refine it.
Alchemists are also naturally classified by levels, and the standard for classification is very simple: the level of the alchemist is determined by the rank of the pills they can refine.
However, raising a pharmacist's level is definitely much harder than improving one's cultivation realm.
Even in a large sect like the Wenda Sect, there was only one alchemist, and that alchemist was only of the second rank. Yet, even with this, the alchemist's status within the entire Wenda Sect was extremely high, even on par with the peak masters of the five peaks.
As for a Tier 3 Alchemist, even the Headmaster of the Questioning Dao Sect would have to treat them with utmost respect. They might not even bother to acknowledge you.
Needless to say, the value of this Heavenly Pill is enormous. It's extremely rare on the market. Once it appears, it will inevitably cause a scramble among countless cultivators at the Fortune Land Realm.
Seeing Ginger Cloud put down the jade slip, his face still calm, Lao Hei hurriedly spoke, "Ginger brother, are you confident in refining this Heavenly Ascension Pill"
Ginger pondered for a moment, "The formula lists the ingredients and proportions in great detail. Logically, it should be possible to refine it. However, I've never tried it before, so I'll definitely need to experiment several times."
Actually, despite Lao Hei begging Jiang Yun to help him refine pills, he didn't hold out much hope. After all, Jiang Yun was too young and his cultivation level was too low.
Besides, even a genuine third-rank Alchemist wouldn't have complete confidence in successfully refining the Heavenly Ascending Pill.
Now that he could hear the confidence in Gingercloud's words, he couldn't help but start to doubt again. Was this kid just talking big
"Ginger, little brother, though I don't understand alchemy, I heard that the higher the grade of a pill, the more complex the refining process. And I've seen the recipe for this Heavenly Ascension Pill. There are over thirty steps alone, and if even one step fails, it's all for nothing!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yun could not help but understand Lao Hei's suspicion towards him. He didn't get angry, and smiled: "Lao Hei Big Brother, you are right. But in fact, no matter the rank of the elixir or how complex the refining steps are, at its core, they all lead to the same goal."
Lao Hei's heart moved slightly, because this sentence made him seem to understand something, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment. His face couldn't help but show a hint of confusion.
Looking at Lao He's expression, Jiang Yun knew he still didn't believe his words. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly pulled out two twigs from the pile of materials in front of him.
On one branch there was only a single leaf, while on another branch there were dozens.
"Big Brother Lao Hei, look at these two branches. One has only one leaf, just like a first-grade elixir. The other branch is like a third-grade elixir. It looks lush and complex, but in reality, there's no difference between the two."
All leaves grow on branches, and all branches grow on trunks, and all trunks grow from roots.
"Alchemy is the same. No matter how complex the process, it's built up step by step from the most basic steps. As long as you master the basics, it's not a problem."
In a nutshell, it boils down to eight characters: "tracing origins, simplifying complexity!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yun's wrist gave a slight shake, causing all the leaves on the two branches to flutter down, leaving only two bare twigs in his hand.

Looking at this scene, Lao He's eyes suddenly lit up. Then, he actually stood up and bowed to Jiang Yun with his fists clasped, performing a deep bow and saying, "Little brother, your words today have benefited me greatly. Thank you!"
If one day, Lao Di's cultivation level increases, and he has another top-grade alchemy furnace engraved with formations, then in this world, I'm afraid there is no elixir he cannot refine!
Every movement and every step that Jiang Yun made was like flowing water, without any hesitation. It even gave people a visual enjoyment.
Evidently, for such alchemy, Gingercloud had already gone through it countless times. He probably could complete the entire process effortlessly even with his eyes closed.
At this moment, Lao Hei truly wishes he could have those former overbearing alchemist masters who he had encountered come and witness this scene with their own eyes.
A child of sixteen or seventeen, with only the cultivation level of a pulse-opener, could refine pills that cultivators craved using a simple stone cauldron!
If this were to spread, I wonder how many alchemists would be ashamed.Letan's explanation made Jiang Yun even more confused, but immediately after, a flash of light suddenly crossed his mind, and he blurted out: "The Dead Realm""Not bad!" Xiao Lutian couldn't help but b...
