Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 635 - 612: Elf Empress’s Abilities (1/3)

Dongguo Heng had truly never seen such a confident young man.

Not to mention just a Moonlight Emperor, even the Creation Kings in his family, upon seeing him, would behave like mice before a cat, filled with awe. When they spoke to him, they hardly dared to breathe heavily. Who among them could converse as freely as Zhou Heng did!

To become an expert, one must first have the heart of an expert!

Without an invincible heart, what qualification did one have to reach the summit of the Martial Path?

If this young man were not blindly arrogant, then his potential was truly boundless!

Dongguo Heng watched Zhou Heng enter a room, but he did not follow him, with his keen Divine Sense, how could he not detect whether Zhou Heng was tampering with anything? He "saw" Zhou Heng take out a Pill Furnace, then put all the ingredients into it, and started the fire to begin the alchemy process.

Wasn’t this just messing around?

Dongguo Heng was a Six Stars Pharmacist himself, how could he not know how Jade River Pills were made? Even an outsider knew that alchemy demanded strict adherence to each process, and any mistake could ruin all previous efforts.

Like Zhou Heng, who had thrown all ingredients into the Pill Furnace at once, he was purely causing trouble. If pills could be produced like this, it would really be unbelievable!

Dongguo Heng thought of stopping Zhou Heng immediately, as the materials for making Fifth Grade pills were quite precious, but he thought about it and did nothing, because he did not believe that Zhou Heng had the audacity to deceive him right in front of him.

Moreover, the Wild Horse City Pharmacists Association wouldn’t dare to deceive their superiors, by accrediting a Three Stars Pharmacist title to a fool, right?

Patience is a virtue. If Zhou Heng truly dared to deceive him, there would still be time to eliminate him later. For a Creation Emperor, the batch of materials given to Zhou Heng was somewhat precious, but not extremely so.

They were affordable to him!

Just five minutes later, he only "saw" Zhou Heng open the furnace lid and pour out seven pills.

"What!"

Dongguo Heng trembled involuntarily. He naturally knew what Jade River Pills looked like, and just by "seeing" their plump and lush colors, he could tell that these seven pills were indeed Jade River Pills, and they were all of Top Grade quality!

He had actually made them!

To say that Zhou Heng had placed Jade River Pills in the furnace beforehand, just to pretend to take them out to show him, Dongguo Heng would never believe it!

His eyes were not blind; these seven pills were clearly freshly made, and one could even smell a hint of flame!

Fresh beyond compare!

Definitely just made, anyone who dares say otherwise could argue with him!

A genius! Absolutely a genius!

Five minutes to produce a batch of Jade River Pills! Moreover, the pill success rate was as high as seventy percent!

—He didn’t know that this was because Zhou Heng had let the Fire Divine Furnace deliberately keep four pills. Otherwise, the old man would faint from excitement if he knew the success rate had exceeded one hundred percent!

Fifth Grade pills with a seventy percent success rate, that was already frightening enough!

Zhou Heng walked out of the room knowing Dongguo Heng had been watching him with Divine Intent all the while, but he acted as if he didn’t know it, saying, "Junior has not failed your expectations!" He presented the seven Jade River Pills.

"Top, Top Grade!" Dongguo Heng exclaimed, more than a Creation Emperor, he was also a genius in the Alchemy Dao. Had he not devoted much of his energy to the Martial Path, his achievements in the Alchemy Dao would certainly have been more than mere Six Stars Pharmacist!

He previously knew that these seven Jade River Pills were definitely of Upper Grade quality, but on taking a closer look, he realized he was wrong; all seven pills were Top Grade!

The higher the rank of the pills, the lower the rank one could achieve in making them. For Fifth Grade pills, reaching Middle Grade was already considered good; producing one Top Grade from a hundred batches was reason enough to celebrate.

But what about Zhou Heng? A batch of seven pills, all Top Grade! And, how much time did it take? It was simply an unbelievable miracle!

This youngster was absolutely a genius in the Alchemy Dao!

"Hahaha, lad, you really have surprised me!" Dongguo Heng laughed heartily, making no attempt to hide his admiration for Zhou Heng.

"Senior flatters me!" Zhou modestly smiled; he really didn’t do much, as it was all the work of the Fire Divine Furnace.

"Excessive humility is pride!" Dongguo Heng joked.

Although the old man was not very humorous, Zhou gave him a polite smile. After all, the other party was a Creation Emperor, representing one of the strongest beings in existence—at least close to the strongest.

Dongguo Heng soon got to the point; he didn’t need to beat around the bush with a mere Moonlight Emperor. He directly expressed his desire to take Zhou to Juexian City.

For anyone else, the olive branch thrown by a Creation Emperor would surely be joyfully accepted, but Zhou only thought for a moment before tactfully declining.

He didn’t plan to become a Pharmacist; that was just a side occupation. If he went to Juexian City, he guessed he would be busy alchemizing all day—although, in fact, it was the Fire Divine Furnace that would be busy, but he would still need to play the part, right?

Moreover, over time, surely someone would become suspicious. Besides, he was only a Moonlight Emperor and too weak for Juexian City.

Now was not the time to go to Juexian City.

Although Dongguo Heng was not very satisfied, he did not force the issue. After all, as Zhou Heng had said, he was only at the level of a Five Stars Pharmacist. Despite the bright prospects, he was not yet of great use to the Dongguo Family.

It would not be too late to pull him into the Dongguo Family’s camp after Zhou Heng made greater progress in the Alchemy Dao. After all, Zhou had already owed him a favor, and the Dongguo Family’s strength in Juexian City was not weak!

Naturally, Dongguo Heng couldn’t stay long in the small Xihai City. He soon drifted away. Moreover, due to the unexpected incident with the Old Blood River Ancestor, Xihai City’s Starwind Trial was also prematurely ended, naturally producing no champion or top finisher, and the rewards were definitely gone.

For Zhou Heng, this Starwind Trial’s loot was plentiful enough.

After Dongguo Heng had left, Black Donkey sprang over, biting Zhou Heng’s foot and said, "Zhou, hurry up and hand over the Moonlight Lotus, your lordship wants to eat! Wants to eat! Wants to eat!"

"Stinky donkey, your drool is about to drown me!" Zhou Heng shouted.

All the women laughed, now was the time to count their gains.

"Why keep a section of the lotus root?" Zhou Heng asked Huo Tian, who had previously instructed him to do so but had not explained why.

Huo Tian took the section of Moonlight Lotus that was still connected to the lotus branch and leaves, and said, "This Moonlight Lotus can continue to grow!"

"But it takes thirty thousand years to mature once, where can we wait that long!" Zhou Heng shook his head. Although he would have almost forty thousand years of life once he advanced to Moonlight Emperor, would he still be the Moonlight Emperor after thirty thousand years?

Not to mention him, none of those around him could remain in the Moonlight Realm.

Huo Tian shook her head and said, "Mu Tongtong has the bloodline of the Elf Empress. With her daily care, this Moonlight Lotus can almost mature in a year!"

"What!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. How powerful was this bloodline of the Elf Empress?

"Ah, Tongtong has to take care of this ugly flower! Sister Huo Tian, Tongtong only likes to play, she can’t farm!" Mu Tongtong played with her fingers, and her big black round eyes swiveled about, looking like she wanted to flee.

Huo Tian glanced at her lightly, and the little girl immediately hung her head in defeat, resigned to her fate.

The words of this Peerless Heavenly Maiden could not be defied, as if they were decrees from heaven and earth!

"After a year, the lotus seeds will be ready, and then we can plant more Moonlight Lotuses!" Huo Tian added, causing everyone to grin broadly. Good heavens, did this not mean that Moonlight Lotuses could be mass-produced?

She beckoned Zhou Heng over and said, "Give me the Moonlight Pill!"

Zhou Heng was startled. Although everyone had seen him turn the Moonlight Lotus into the Moonlight Pill, he had never mentioned the name of the pill. Was Huo Tian just guessing from the name of the Moonlight Lotus, or could she "listen" to his exchanges with the Fire Divine Furnace?

"Boy, this wife of yours is simply not human. To me, she feels scarier than that bastard!" the Fire Divine Furnace quivered voice inside his Dantian.

Zhou Heng also felt that Huo Tian could sense his communication with the Fire Divine Furnace. He took out the Moonlight Pill, which was all packed into a Pill Bottle, and handed it over to Huo Tian.

Black Donkey watched unblinkingly as its saliva flowed freely, and its eyes nearly popped out.

Huo Tian took the Pill Bottle, distributed one pill to each woman present, and said, "The Moonlight Pill is best used at the Moonlight Emperor stage. You take one each at the Moonlight King and Moonlight Sovereign stages, and you can have at least an Eight-Wheel Moon. By the time you reach the Moonlight Emperor, about a year from now, there will be more Moonlight Pills for you to use!"

"Good girl, what about me?" Black Donkey weakly said, having no temper at all in front of this Peerless Heavenly Maiden.

Huo Tian blinked her beautiful eyes, but still tossed a Moonlight Pill to Black Donkey.

The crafty donkey quickly swallowed the Moonlight Pill, seeming afraid that Huo Tian might suddenly change her mind.

Huo Tian handed the Pill Bottle back to Zhou Heng, but after such distribution, there were only two Moonlight Pills left.

Zhou Heng, of course, was not distressed. Aside from Black Donkey and Mu Tongtong, the rest were his women—even if they were not now, they would be later.

"The Blood River Heavenly Scripture for you!" Huo Tian then passed over a blood-red whip, made of some material but truly looking like a flowing stream of blood!

Zhou Heng stroked the whip and said, "Aren’t you going to refer to it?"

"This Heavenly Scripture is too weak!" Huo Tian said lightly.

Zhou Heng broke into a sweat. How formidable was the Old Blood River Ancestor? Still able to suppress the Seven Great Creation Emperors even in his weakest state after just recovering from severe wounds, the power of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture was apparent!

Yet even so, it was still looked down upon by Huo Tian as too weak!

Could it be that the Blood River Heavenly Scripture came from the Mortal Realm? Or perhaps even the Heavenly Scriptures nurtured by the same world differed in levels?

Zhou Heng asked Huo Tian, but she said she did not know, her memory was still incomplete, and she could hardly recall too many things. However, she added that the true power of a Heavenly Scripture could be said to be invincible. If the Old Blood River Ancestor truly mastered the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, then he could transform into the Blood River, his body impervious to external forces, while the Blood River itself could obliterate everything!

Zhou Heng was deeply moved. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote and recommend, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)freewebnøvel.coɱ
