Chapter 19 - Heaven-Defying Alchemy! The One Who Is Close to the Water Gets the Moon First
15,000?
“System, redeem it for me…”
Although he felt a bit pained, Jiang Che didn’t hesitate much.
After all, every plan he had relied on mastering God-Tier alchemy as its foundation.
“Ding! Deducting 15,000 points. Initiating infusion…”
As the system’s voice faded, Jiang Che immediately felt a vast amount of alchemical knowledge flooding into his mind.
Not daring to slack off, he quickly calmed his thoughts to absorb the overwhelming influx of information…
…
The night passed quietly. When the sun rose, Jiang Che finally reopened his eyes.
“This God-Tier alchemy skill is truly otherworldly…”
As he processed the vast array of alchemical techniques and recipes in his mind, Jiang Che couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Innate Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill, Youth-Retaining Pill, Life-Extending Pill, Heavenly Unity Pill, Blood Qi Pill, Great Restoration Pill, and so on…
Taking an Innate Pill could allow an ordinary person to instantly break through to the Innate Realm without any side effects!
The Barrier-Breaking Pill could help someone advance two minor levels, effective for anyone below the Heavenly Realm.
The Youth-Retaining Pill, as the name suggested, could allow a person to maintain eternal youth.
Such a pill, once made public, would likely drive all the female martial artists in the world mad!
After all, there isn’t a woman who doesn’t cherish beauty—no one is exempt.
The Life-Extending Pill could prolong a person’s life by thirty years!
The Heavenly Unity Pill could help those at the Half-Step Heavenly Realm perceive the heavenly path, increasing their breakthrough chances by 50%.
The Blood Qi Pill could boost a martial artist’s true qi by three years’ worth, aiding breakthroughs.
Of course, its effect couldn’t compare to training diligently for three years, but it was still an excellent shortcut.
As for the Great Restoration Pill, it was even more astonishing: consuming it would grant thirty years’ worth of internal strength!
Thirty years!
Although this true qi couldn’t rival thirty years of personal cultivation, it would easily help him break into the Heavenly Realm!
Thinking this far, Jiang Che could no longer remain calm.
However, his excitement was short-lived as he quickly frowned again.
While the ingredients for most of these pills were somewhat accessible, the materials for crafting the Great Restoration Pill and the Heavenly Unity Pill were extraordinarily rare—some were even thought to be extinct!
No wonder the Shaolin Sect’s Great Restoration Pill had been absent from the martial world for over a century…
But soon enough, Jiang Che felt reassured.
What’s there to fear when I have the system?
No matter how rare the ingredients, the system’s marketplace would surely have them.
After all, even the blood essence of Pangu was available in the system store. How could these ingredients not be?
“System, I want to check in.”
“Ding! Check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the heavenly-grade martial art Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms…”
“This technique, huh…”
Without hesitation, Jiang Che immediately handed it over to the system for recycling.
In the past, he might have treasured such a martial art.
But now, with the Five Elements Spirit Art and the Shushan Legacy, these techniques simply didn’t catch his interest.
…
Casting aside the distracting thoughts, Jiang Che rose from bed with the help of his little maidservants, who assisted him in dressing.
“This damned feudal society!”
He couldn’t deny it, though—being served by young maidens every morning felt indulgently delightful.
Not to mention, his personal maidservants were quite playful, touching here and there while dressing him…
After getting dressed, Jiang Che freshened up and headed to the main hall.
Just as he was about to eat breakfast, Sikong Qianluo entered, carrying a food box.
“Brother Jiang!”
“Hehe, Brother Jiang, I’m here again!”
When Sikong Qianluo saw Jiang Che seated in the main seat, her eyes lit up. She quickly jogged over and presented the food box like a treasure.
“Brother Jiang, I’ve brought you a new dish I just learned. Try it!”
She eagerly opened the box, taking out a few small dishes and a bowl of porridge.
“Qianluo, you’re so thoughtful…”
Seeing her expectant gaze, Jiang Che couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
Smiling lightly, he leisurely sampled her cooking.
For the young lady of Snow Moon City, this effort was truly commendable.
After all, Sikong Qianluo was someone who had likely never lifted a finger in the kitchen before.
Even Sikong Changfeng probably hadn’t tasted her cooking.
“How is it, Brother Jiang? Does it taste good?”
Sikong Qianluo sat across from him, propping her chin on her hands, her bright eyes fixed on Jiang Che.
“It’s good. You should try some too.”
“No need! I already had breakfast before coming here.”
Sikong Qianluo waved her hand with a grin and simply continued to watch Jiang Che, her gaze dreamy.
According to the books, the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.
That’s why she persistently brought Jiang Che breakfast every day.
Once Brother Jiang got used to my cooking, confessing my feelings should have a higher chance of success, right?
After all, proximity breeds familiarity, and Sikong Qianluo was determined to make a good impression!
Thinking of this, the little girl couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile, as if already envisioning her blissful married life with Jiang Che…
