Chapter 1155: Deduction of the Pill Formula

"Sha Yi, you have done an excellent job! Sending you to Nine Phoenix Island was indeed a wise decision! This Master Ye, I am extremely satisfied!"

Having witnessed Ye Yuan's strength, Tong's tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed.

He had heard that over the past two days, the Great Priest had been hovering around Master Ye like a little follower, almost calling him master.

Sha Yi gave a simple smile upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty overpraises me! This... the Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill hasn't been refined yet, so I dare not take credit."

Tong was completely satisfied with Sha Yi.

Seeing Sha Yi so humble, he found him more and more agreeable.

"Hmm, if Xun'er can recover this time, I will reward you with entry into the ancestral land to comprehend the divine inscriptions!" Tong said with great delight.

Upon hearing this, Sha Yi's heart began to race wildly.

For a powerful race like the merfolk, their ancestors also had divine path experts, and their heritage was very well preserved.

But such heritage could not be consumed without restraint.

The number of slots for entering the ancestral land each time was extremely limited.

With Sha Yi's current strength, he was far from qualified to enter the ancestral land.

Yet because he had brought Ye Yuan and gained Tong's approval, he was now rewarded with entry into the ancestral land.

How could he not be overjoyed?

"Th-thank you, Your Majesty!" Sha Yi said excitedly.

The other tribesmen looked at Sha Yi with envy, thinking that he had really struck it lucky.

Tong waved his hand and said, "Has the pill formula been sent to Master Ye?"

Sha Yi said, "It has been sent. He said that starting tomorrow, he will deduce the pill formula and go into seclusion for ten days. During these ten days, no one is allowed to disturb him!"

Tong nodded and said, "Good! Take him to the Azure Serenity Pavilion tomorrow for his seclusion, and personally guard there. Within ten days, no one is to disturb him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sha Yi accepted the order and left.

...

For Ye Yuan, refining a pill he had never made before was also a challenge.

The Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill was not an ordinary Xuan-grade pill; its refinement difficulty was considerable.

He was well aware of this.

Li had barely touched the threshold of a peak Pill Emperor, but with his strength, he had less than half a percent chance of success.

If not for this, Tong would not have been so desperate.

A broken inner core is equivalent to a human martial artist's broken dantian, essentially rendering one a cripple.

But the Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill could not only repair the inner core but also restore fifty percent of a demon's strength!

The remaining fifty percent could still be cultivated back over a hundred years.

Of course, this was only the efficacy of a top-grade Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill.

As for premium or even supreme grade, the merfolk race dared not even hope for it.

After all, such an obscure and extremely difficult pill could hardly be refined by anyone in the world.

Top grade was already the ideal state.

"The alchemist who created the Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill is truly a genius! The spiritual herbs required for this pill are not extraordinary, yet they can produce such miraculous effects! This pill formula has greatly benefited me! To apply Xuan-grade pills to such a masterful degree must be the work of a divine path expert! It seems the path of alchemy is boundless!"

After studying the pill formula, Ye Yuan was full of admiration for the Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill.

The ingenuity of the pill formula was something even Ye Yuan could not match.

A pill formula that even he could not match was definitely the work of a divine path expert.

"Heh, if I hadn't comprehended the 'Medicine Soul Divine Canon,' refining this pill might not have been so easy. I can only say that Sha Xun is lucky." Ye Yuan chuckled to himself.

After a moment of reflection, Ye Yuan began the formal deduction of the pill formula!

The spiritual herbs required for a Xuan-grade pill were not as common as cabbages.

Even after plundering the entire Eternal Ancient Herb Garden, Ye Yuan only had a single set of ingredients.

According to the quantities in the pill formula, it was barely enough for two attempts.

However, even two attempts were a huge test for an alchemist.

Ye Yuan's soul power gradually spread out, and his sea of consciousness operated at high speed, calculating every detail of the pill refinement.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was enveloped in a golden light—the profound and mysterious power of divine path laws!

For a pill formula being refined for the first time, deduction was a crucial task.

The success rate of refinement was directly related to the success of the deduction.

However, this was no simple task!

During the refinement of a Xuan-grade pill, changes occurred in the blink of an eye.

To fully deduce the pill formula required calculations on an astronomical scale.

For ordinary alchemists, this massive amount of calculation alone was enough to drive them to collapse.

Some top-tier alchemists had even become idiots from forcibly deducing pill formulas!

Such examples were not unheard of!

The Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill was one of the most advanced Xuan-grade pills, and the amount of calculation required was immeasurable.

As the deduction deepened, Ye Yuan's brow gradually furrowed.

A pill formula created by a divine path expert was indeed not easy to deduce.

If Ye Yuan had not comprehended the 'Medicine Soul Divine Canon,' deducing this pill formula would not have been easy.

Time passed minute by minute, and Ye Yuan was completely immersed in the pill formula, undistracted.

Outside the door, Sha Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Whether Ye Yuan's refinement succeeded or not determined his chance to comprehend the divine inscriptions.

This opportunity was too important for him.

"I say, can you stop pacing! You're making my eyes dizzy!" Li said irritably.

Sha Yi looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "Great Priest, I... I'm just nervous! It's already the tenth day, and Master Ye... he still hasn't come out!"

Li glared at him and said, "Do you think deducing a pill formula is like practicing a cultivation technique? Let me tell you, if I were to fully deduce the Purple Void Qi Nourishing Pill, I would surely vomit blood and die!"

Sha Yi was startled; he really didn't know that deducing a pill formula could have such serious consequences.

"No... not really? Just deducing a pill formula, and the consequences are this severe? Great Priest, haven't you also deduced this pill formula?" Sha Yi said in shock.

Li gave a dry chuckle and said, "Deduction and deduction are different! My kind of deduction is just rough, not even one ten-thousandth of true deduction! But to succeed with just one set of ingredients, even if you don't do a hundred percent deduction, you need to deduce ninety percent! That level of calculation is enough to make a high-level Pill Emperor vomit blood and die! I only deduced one ten-thousandth, and I almost vomited blood!"

Sha Yi had never heard of such a thing before, and his face turned pale as paper.

He really didn't know that deducing a pill formula could be so dangerous!
