329: Chapter 151 Pill Fusion_5 329: Chapter 151 Pill Fusion_5 The round pill quickly entered her body through Yu Tuoyu’s mouth.
Suddenly, in the next moment, a force transmitted from Yu Tuoyu’s mouth, and the pill he had just placed surged out aggressively.
Fang Tuojie pointed in the void, and the ejected pill stood still in mid-air, while his expression abruptly changed as he looked at his junior sister and coldly said, “Cao Zhen, what do you think you’re doing!”
Now, his junior sister was in a coma.
The only power that could push out the pill was that of Cao Zhen’s exotic pill.
Through his Golden Core, Cao Zhen transmitted his voice, “Do you want to harm your junior sister?
The pill you gave her could indeed save her life, but the consequence of your actions is that she will never be able to practice cultivation again, she’ll just be an ordinary mortal!”
“How could I be unaware of that?
By doing this, my junior sister will only be a mortal,” Fang Tuojie sighed lightly, “However, being a mortal is still better than being dead.
By doing this, she can still continue to live.”
“No, there’s still a chance.
As long as she takes another kind of pill, she can continue her cultivation.”
“Another kind of pill?
What pill!” Fang Tuojie was stunned for a moment before speaking somewhat discontentedly in a lecturing tone, “I know, your exotic pill is special, and I can see you have some methods, but do you have any idea how profound the path of alchemy is?
Do you know what true alchemy is?
And do you know who crafted the pill you’re about to give her?
What do you know!”
Cao Zhen, feeling dissatisfied with Fang Tuojie’s haughty attitude, retorted, “I don’t know who crafted this pill, and I’m aware that your cultivation base is indeed high.
However, if we’re speaking about the path of alchemy, to put it bluntly, I could even be your father with ease.”
“Nonsense!” Fang Tuojie’s body surged with boundless rage, making the air on this level of the tower shake wildly.
“Enough, don’t speak anymore,” Cao Zhen interrupted before the other could respond, activating his Heretical Golden Core to transmit his voice, “I know, besides administering that pill to your junior sister, you also intend to give her the Three-turns Soul Condensing Pill.”
Fang Tuojie’s expression remained unchanged as anyone with a bit of knowledge would know that reviving someone after self-detonating their Golden Core definitely required the Three-turns Soul Condensing Pill.
Cao Zhen continued, “In addition to this, you also have the Nine Cauldron Prolonging Pill, the Qianyuan Vein Moving Pill, and the Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pill.”
Fang Tuojie’s face suddenly changed.
He indeed possessed these pills, and they were all stored within jade bottles.
How did this man know?
No one knew which pills he had.
Could it be that he was simply able to discern what pills they were based on the faint medicinal fragrance wafting from the openings of the jade bottles?
What level of understanding of alchemy was required to achieve this?
After a brief pause, Cao Zhen continued, “You need to combine these pills together and refine them anew.
Remember to use Green Glass Red Fire for the process…
Refine them for three days, then neutralize with the cold Lian Xuan Yin Ice.
Finally, you’ll be able to craft a new pill, the Steal-Yang Replacement Soul Pill.
After she takes this pill, there’s a great chance she can recover and continue her cultivation.”
When he said there was a great chance, the odds were indeed vast.
Just like many doctors who, despite being confident of success with 99.99% certainty, would never declare a full guarantee.
It wasn’t as if there was no chance of failure; for instance, if Yu Tuoyu had a unique constitution or practiced an unusual cultivation technique, there could still be a minute chance of failure that would necessitate the crafting of another pill.
But the likelihood of such failure was perhaps less than one in ten thousand.
Fang Tuojie, listening to Cao Zhen’s words, was utterly dumbfounded.
Cao Zhen went on, “Do you know what the highest realm of alchemy is?
The greatest heights of alchemy do not lie in merely placing a pile of herbs together and crafting a pill.
The highest realm is taking some already refined pills and crafting them into a new pill.
That is the true essence.”
Fang Tuojie, an Alchemy Master himself, recalled Cao Zhen’s method and could distinctly feel that it was an extremely sophisticated technique, with all the theories making perfect sense.
Moreover, since Cao Zhen could accurately name all the pills he had, he believed that this Cao Zhen might also be an Alchemy Master.
However…
A look of embarrassment appeared on Fang Tuojie’s face as he admitted, “I…
I can’t produce such a pill.” The other side had already told him how to craft that kind of pill, having described all methods and steps, yet he realized that he was incapable of producing the so-called Steal-Yang Replacement Soul Pill.
“You can’t do it…
Fine, let me handle it,” Cao Zhen sighed deeply.
The wooden door of the tower, which had been closed ever since Fang Tuojie entered, suddenly opened.
Clearly, Fang Tuojie agreed to let him do the refining.
As soon as Cao Zhen entered the tower, before he even had a chance to look around, Fang Tuojie’s voice already reached him.
“Sixth floor.”
Hearing this, Cao Zhen stepped towards the sixth floor, contemplating along the way.
He had spoken the pill crafting method without thinking and had directly said he would do the refining.
But now, upon reviewing the theoretical knowledge for crafting the Steal-Yang Replacement Soul Pill, he felt embarrassed to find that with his current level of mastery in the Alchemy Dao, he couldn’t actually produce the pill.
This wouldn’t do…
It seemed he needed to increase his alchemy experience.
Anyway, he had so many disciples, and he could gain some extra experience from a few of them.
He decided to start with Yi Sheng’s.
He quickly looked into Yi Sheng’s file.

Yi Sheng had actually reached Level 40 in alchemy!
This girl, she truly excels in alchemy!
To be Level 40 in such a short time, then after a while, wouldn’t she surpass me!
I really picked up a treasure.
And to have so many additional experience points!
Indeed, unlike her senior brothers and sisters, she can cultivate on her own, so she especially has a lot of extra experience.
This is the sum of her alchemy experience and her cultivation experience, reaching twenty-seven thousand.
With so much experience,
Cao Zhen directly piled all of Yi Sheng’s experience on top of his own alchemy experience.
In an instant, his Alchemy Dao experience shot up to Level 61.
China Cloud Level 7 Administrator: Cao Zhen

Almost the next moment, the voice of China Cloud came through.
‘Alchemy level breakthrough, administrator level increased by one, random user access granted to one person, designated user access granted to one person.’
Hearing the voice coming through from China Cloud, Cao Zhen didn’t think twice and immediately responded, “Designate access to my disciple, Bei Yan!”
Of all his disciples, only Little Bei Yan had not gained access.
He could not show favoritism, giving access to others and not to Little Bei Yan.
Once the access was complete, he quickly made his way to the sixth floor.
Within the sixth floor, besides formations and pills, there were also many medicinal herbs and cultivators’ Pill Furnaces; clearly, Fang Tuojie was also a person capable of alchemy.
Cao Zhen did not stand on ceremony with Fang Tuojie, walking straight up to the furnace, he began to refine pills.
This alchemy session lasted three days, during which he was completely immersed in the process of alchemy.
Now, the difficulty of the pills he wanted to refine was greater than that of any pill he had ever made before.
He couldn’t afford to be distracted; he didn’t even pay attention to who the randomly accessed user was.
After three days, he finally succeeded in refining the Steal-Yang Replacement Soul Pill.
As Yu Tuoyu took the pill, the originally chaotic aura inside her body instantly stabilized, and her completely severed veins and arteries slowly began to heal.
Just after Cao Zhen retracted the Heretical Golden Core, the voice of Fang Tuojie was already coming through.
“Now, let’s talk about the matter of you seeing my junior sister’s true face,” he said.
