Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 539 - 300: Quasi-Great True Monarch, Have Some Shame!

"Here... I have a Tier Four Middle Grade Pill Formula. The difficulty of refining it is quite high, and I only have enough materials for one attempt. I wonder, Qi Chuan True Monarch, how confident are you in succeeding?"

True Monarch You Bing asked with a bit of nervousness in his heart.

Qi Chuan seemed to have an insight and said, "What True Monarch You Bing is referring to, could it be the Pill Formula using a Tier Four Middle Grade Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard Demon Pill?"

True Monarch You Bing nodded.

He wasn’t surprised that Qi Chuan knew about the pill making with the Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard Demon Pill.

After all, before coming to the Ice Valley, Qi Chuan must have inquired at the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain. With Qi Chuan’s abilities, it’s normal to find out these things.

He slowly explained, "I once ventured deep into the magma of the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain and slew a Tier Four Middle Grade Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard, obtaining a demon pill."

"However, it’s just the one pill."

"Before this, I searched for many Tier Four Middle Grade Alchemists at the Chaotic Demon Sea. My requirement was that they must succeed in making at least two pills, as the only main material cannot be wasted."

"However, not a single Tier Four Middle Grade Alchemist could promise this."

"Facing a new Tier Four Middle Grade Pill Formula, especially one with such a high refinement difficulty, none of these people dared to boast. The most skilled among them only promised a forty percent success rate, with a sixty percent chance of failure."

"This pill is extremely important to me."

"I don’t dare to take the risk, so I decided against having them refine pills for me. I was even preparing to hire a Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemist at a high cost, but such exorbitant prices made me feel pained and hesitant..."

"This time... as long as Qi Chuan True Monarch agrees to successfully refine this pill for me, I won’t take any other elixir or talisman. You can use the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain for cultivation for as long as you want without needing additional compensation."

"I wonder, Qi Chuan True Monarch, do you dare to agree?"

"A new Tier Four Middle Grade Pill Formula? With a rather high refinement difficulty?" Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan merely smiled faintly, a trace of confidence showing in his expression.

If it were other Tier Four Middle Grade Alchemists, unless they were truly versatile masters, they would naturally hesitate in such a situation.

Even with a familiar pill formula, there is always a certain rate of failure, let alone a new formula.

Only Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemists, with their high-level alchemical mastery, can ensure a relatively high probability of success in refining lower-tier pills.

However, I’m different.

I’ve been a Tier Four Middle Grade Alchemist for many years now, and refining pills of such tier has long become second nature to me.

Moreover,

Thanks to the solid foundational skills provided by the Hundredfold Critical Strike,

In alchemy and even talisman making, I’m like a hexagonal warrior.

Without any shortcomings.

Thus, for familiar pill formulas, I can guarantee a 100% success rate in refining with a high Pill Formation Rate and very few wasted pills.

As for unfamiliar pill formulas with high refinement difficulty, although the Pill Formation Rate is not guaranteed and there might be quite a few wasted pills, I can still ensure a 100% success rate in refining.

This perfectly meets True Monarch You Bing’s requirements.

So, Qi Chuan directly nodded and agreed.

"Alright, I agree."

"To be honest with True Monarch You Bing, I do have a small bit of confidence in alchemy. As long as your formula falls within the Tier Four Middle Grade range, I can guarantee forming at least two pills."

"If I fail, I will not only forego the use of the Ice Valley’s Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain but also compensate True Monarch You Bing with five Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pills. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, instead, True Monarch You Bing was taken aback.

He didn’t expect Qi Chuan to have such confidence and assurance in alchemy.

Nevertheless, it’s a rather difficult new formula.

He had originally planned to agree if Qi Chuan had a success rate over sixty to seventy percent.

If that couldn’t be reached, he wouldn’t let Qi Chuan refine the pill, but would still allow him to use the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain and have him compensate in other ways for its use.

Unexpectedly, Qi Chuan directly agreed to a 100% success rate.

Moreover, he promised to compensate with five Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pills if he failed.

Even though the Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard’s demon pill is extremely important and special to me.

If traded for five same realm demon pills, I wouldn’t be at a loss at all.

In fact, I might even profit.

Thus, he directly agreed, "Alright! Since the Quasi-Great True Monarch has made such a promise, I, You Bing, am willing to trust you this once. Here is the Tier Four Middle Grade Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard Demon Pill and the corresponding pill formula. I wonder when Qi Chuan True Monarch would have time to refine it?"

Saying this, True Monarch You Bing directly took out the Tier Four Middle Grade Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard Demon Pill and a Tier Four Middle Grade Pill Formula and handed them to Qi Chuan.

Claiming to believe, there really wasn’t any other choice.

Qi Chuan’s abilities were evident.

Based on the other’s previous conduct, he could have forced him into agreeing to the deal at a much lower price.

Yet, even after showcasing considerable power, he was still willing to negotiate gently with me and made a commitment highly favorable to me.

Whether for practical reasons or because of Qi Chuan’s displayed demeanor,

True Monarch You Bing really wanted to trust this once.

Qi Chuan took the demon pill and the formula, glanced over them, and had an idea in his heart, saying, "We don’t need to waste any time. I can start refining immediately."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch You Bing couldn’t help but rejoice.

Qi Chuan’s willingness to immediately start alchemy in the Ice Valley showed he hadn’t deceived him previously at all.

"Come, prepare the top-tier alchemy room in the Ice Valley for Qi Chuan True Monarch immediately!"

True Monarch You Bing shouted.

"Yes, Supreme Elder!"

With those words, a Core Formation Elder immediately flew out from one side, respectfully cupping his hands toward True Monarch You Bing, and then turned and hurried off to prepare the top-tier alchemy room.

"Qi Chuan True Monarch, please move to the alchemy room!" True Monarch You Bing smiled at Qi Chuan, gesturing with his hand.

"Alright!" Qi Chuan nodded.

Then, the two flew in the direction of the alchemy room.

Silence pervaded all around.

The other Core Formation Elders of the Ice Valley retracted their gazes from the void, their expressions strangely calm.

Their hearts were quite complex.

Today’s events happened too suddenly, and the changes were rather rapid.

First, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Monarch came to visit, claiming to have urgent matters to discuss with their Supreme Elder.

But the negotiation failed, leading to a fierce magical combat above the main hall.

Their Supreme Elder’s opponent was fierce, showcasing terrifying strength typical of a Quasi-Great True Monarch.

Having defeated their Supreme Elder at one point.

Yet after that, things took a sharp turn. This Quasi-Great True Monarch became quite courteous and negotiated with their Supreme Elder with a gentle demeanor.

After discussing matters, their Supreme Elder agreed easily, and both willingly went to the alchemy room to have the Supreme Elder’s pills refined.

What kind of situation is this!

The Ice Valley’s Core Formation Elders found it hard to hold back their emotions.

...

Soon, atop a Spirit Peak rich in Fire Spiritual Qi.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of something breaking through the air could be heard.

Two figures descended.

It was Qi Chuan and True Monarch You Bing.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, the most top-tier alchemy room in the valley is ready!"

The previous Core Formation Elder came out, cupped his hands toward True Monarch You Bing, and said respectfully.

"Good."

True Monarch You Bing nodded.

Then turned and looked at Qi Chuan beside him, smiling, "Please, Qi Chuan True Monarch, go into the alchemy room and see. If there’s anything dissatisfactory, no matter the request, I will do my best to accommodate."

As long as Qi Chuan can successfully refine the elixir, even with the minimum formation of two pills, he is willing to cooperate to the maximum extent!
