Chapter 2166: The Spirit God Is Dead

After introducing the Spirit-Concentrating Pill, Zhang Xuan continued, 'If any of you wish to purchase it, you can go to [Zhang Xuan Pharmaceuticals] in the imperial city three days from now. I have prepared a hundred pills for now. If anyone wants to try them, you can come up on stage and try them for free. However, your cultivation should not be too high; preferably Lower Deity...'

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed up, all around the Lower Deity level.

Zhang Xuan was not stingy. He had Qi Ling'er take out a dozen bottles of medicine and gave each person a pill.

After taking the Spirit-Concentrating Pill, these cultivators indeed felt their minds more focused and refreshed. More than a dozen of them even took the opportunity to break through, reaching the Middle Deity realm.

Everyone's gaze converged again, all filled with excitement.

The Spirit-Concentrating Pill could also help people break through...

This price was less than ten divine coins, affordable for anyone...

In an instant, the 500,000 people present remembered the name 'Zhang Xuan Pharmaceuticals' and the source of these medicines... Zhang Xuan!

Seeing the crowd's fervor, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly. Just as he was about to continue, his mind shook, and his eyes lit up.

The sale of the three elixirs had made more people remember him, increasing his willpower. He had originally expected to break through only at night, but now he was directly冲击ing to the Upper Heavenly God realm!

He casually swallowed a few Upper Grade Divine Origin Pills. After two breaths, the divine power within him faintly reached the same level.

Upper Heavenly God, achieved!

'From now on, whether you want to purchase Barrier-Breaking Pill, Beauty Pill, or Spirit-Concentrating Pill, you can buy them directly at Zhang Xuan Pharmaceuticals or place an order!'

With his breakthrough, in high spirits, Zhang Xuan said.

Having made his appearance, introduced what needed to be introduced, and increased his willpower, Zhang Xuan left the remaining matters to Qi Ling'er. He himself rode a flying divine beast back to his residence.

Although he had made a big splash, he was not one to show off. He was always low-key and reserved. With his goal achieved, there was no need to stay outside.

Back at his residence, as soon as he sat down, Sun Qiang came to him: 'Young master, someone named Fu Jiangchen is outside seeking an audience!'

'Quickly invite him in!'

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stood up.

From the crowd's discussions, he had learned of this person's identity, and moreover, the other had helped him before.

Without his support, the Barrier-Breaking Pill would not have gained recognition so quickly.

'Master Zhang...'

Entering the room, they took their seats as host and guest. Fu Jiangchen curiously observed the young man before him.

The other concealed himself well; others could not tell, but Fu Jiangchen could clearly discern that his strength had reached the Upper Heavenly God realm, and the power within him was terrifying, perhaps not inferior to his own!

His strength, alchemy skills, business methods... all demonstrated the excellence of the young man before him.

'Master Fu's visit truly flatters me!' Zhang Xuan said politely.

'As fellow alchemists, no need for such formalities. I came this time only to discuss alchemy techniques with Master Zhang...' Fu Jiangchen said.

'It is my honor...' Zhang Xuan nodded.

Alchemy techniques were profound and extensive. When he was in the Master Teacher Continent, he had reached the pinnacle. All methods were essentially the same. As they talked, he could easily explain any elixir, handling it with ease.

Before long, Fu Jiangchen was full of admiration, almost wanting to become his disciple on the spot.

Everyone in the Divine Realm said he was the number one alchemist, but he himself knew that his understanding of alchemy was far from the peak.

He had once met that Heavenly Sovereign Emperor and discussed alchemy skills, knowing that the other's achievements in alchemy were unparalleled through the ages, unmatched by anyone... Now, through in-depth exchange, he suddenly realized that this young man was in no way inferior to that person!

In his twenties, with alchemy skills comparable to the Heavenly Sovereign Emperor...

How did he learn?

'Does Master Zhang have any Barrier-Breaking Pills to sell me a few? I am willing to buy at the original price!'

After chatting a while longer, Fu Jiangchen said with slight embarrassment.

This was his main purpose for coming.

Only a hundred pills were sold outside. As the most famous alchemist in the Divine Realm, it would be inappropriate to compete with others, so he came here hoping to buy a few.

Not to break through, but to study them thoroughly.

'What's so difficult about that!' Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and Sun Qiang immediately came forward with a jade bottle.

Fu Jiangchen pulled out the stopper and saw ten pills inside.

His face flushed with excitement as he handed over a card: 'This is 150,000 divine coins...'

'No need for coins. Does Master Fu have any Supreme Grade Divine Origin Pills? Could you sell me some?' Zhang Xuan smiled.

Upper Grade Divine Origin Pills were no longer very effective for him. To break through to the Divine King realm, Supreme Grade Divine Origin Pills were the best items.

However, such pills were extremely precious, effective even for Sealed Divine Kings. To buy them, the price was high and they were hard to obtain.

Since the man before him was known as the number one alchemist in the Divine Realm, he must be able to refine these hard-to-get Supreme Grade Divine Origin Pills.

Buying more from him would save a lot of trouble in future cultivation, perhaps allowing a smooth breakthrough to Divine King and truly standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm.

'Supreme Grade Divine Origin Pills? Sure...' Fu Jiangchen was startled, then nodded.

Pills of this level could be refined by no more than ten people in the Divine Realm, but he was among them, and ranked high.

He turned his wrist and produced a jade bottle: 'This kind of pill is of a very high grade and requires extremely rare ingredients. Even for me, refining one takes great effort and time. I only have three pills on hand...'

'That's enough...'

Hearing there were so few, Zhang Xuan was a bit disappointed, but he still smiled and casually took it, then called Sun Qiang over.

'This is 2.9 million divine coins. Please accept!' Sun Qiang came forward, handing over a card.

The prices of Divine Origin Pills differed by a hundredfold: Lower Grade, one divine coin per pill; Middle Grade, a hundred; Upper Grade, ten thousand; and Supreme Grade, one million divine coins per pill, and even then, it was hard to find!

Thus, although the Barrier-Breaking Pill sold for 15,000 divine coins, which seemed expensive, the price was actually not too high.

Fu Jiangchen had Zhou Feng behind him take the card, said no more, and stood up to leave.

'Master Fu, please wait...'

Zhang Xuan also stood up.

'Does Master Zhang have any other instructions?' Fu Jiangchen looked over with confusion.

'Instructions are too strong a word...' Zhang Xuan nodded. 'Master Fu, as a Divine King and a famous alchemist in the Divine Realm, you must have traveled to many places and know many things. I happen to have a question to ask...'

Regarding Luo Ruoxi, others might not know, but this man might have some information.

An alchemist, especially one capable of refining Supreme Grade Divine Origin Pills, would be respected and treated as a VIP wherever he went.

When it came to gathering information, he would certainly know more than others.

'Master Zhang, just ask. If I know, I will tell you truthfully...' Fu Jiangchen smiled.

Over thousands of years, traveling far and wide, he knew quite a few secrets of the Divine Realm.

'I want to ask about a person. If I guess correctly, her strength should be no less than Divine King. Her name is... Luo Ruoxi!' Zhang Xuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

'Luo Ruoxi?' Fu Jiangchen frowned. 'I have heard of all the Divine Kings of the Nine Heavens, but never this name...'

There were only about a hundred Divine Kings in the Nine Heavens, and he had heard of almost all of them. This name was not among them.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Had he guessed wrong... Was Luo Ruoxi's strength not Divine King?

Was she just an Upper Heavenly God like himself?

As for Sealed Divine King or Emperor... he dared not even think about it.

'Yes!' Fu Jiangchen looked at him. 'If I had heard of her, I would certainly know!'

'She once told me she was the Spirit God,' Zhang Xuan continued.

The name Luo Ruoxi, he had once suspected to be false, but now it seemed it was real.

'Spirit God?'

His pupils contracted, and Fu Jiangchen was full of disbelief: 'Did she tell you personally, or did you hear it from hearsay?'

'Naturally, I heard it from her own mouth,' Zhang Xuan said.

He had specifically asked about Luo Ruoxi's identity as the 'Spirit God,' and she had acknowledged it, so it counted as her telling him personally.

'When?' As if hearing something unbelievable, Fu Jiangchen's breathing quickened.

'About... a month ago!' Calculating the time in the Divine Realm, Zhang Xuan said.

After parting with Luo Ruoxi, he had experienced the Upper Firmament and arrived in the Divine Realm. Converted to Divine Realm time, it was less than a day, so the total time was only about a month.

'A month ago? This, this... how is this possible?'

Fu Jiangchen trembled incessantly, his voice becoming hoarse.

'Why is it impossible?' Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan was slightly puzzled.

'Because... the Spirit God, over forty years ago...'

His body stiff, Fu Jiangchen's voice quivered, with none of the composure of a Divine King: '...already died!'
