Chapter 1746

The second reason for the bloodline was also solved by Zhao Fu. His solution was to first collect the blood of the soldiers, then fuse it with the attribute stones to form a special bloodline attribute stone, and then use it as the basic energy of the Philosopher's Stone.

At this point, during the condensation of the Philosopher's Stone, Zhao Fu once again had a soldier come to the center of the alchemy formation.

Zhao Fu still used the method of having the soldier condense the Philosopher's Stone on their own, as this would allow the Philosopher's Stone's power to be fully utilized, and the compatibility between the soldier and the Philosopher's Stone would also be higher.

The soldier sat cross-legged in the alchemy formation, and Zhao Fu activated the formation. A force spread out, and the attribute stones emitted a faint light, and energy emerged and flowed towards the soldier.

The soldier closed their eyes and absorbed the many energies. Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and half an hour passed, but there were no abnormalities.

After half a day, a powerful force burst out from the soldier's body, creating a strong wind that spread outwards. A black flame ignited on the soldier's body, and their strength skyrocketed.

After a while, the soldier opened their eyes and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty! I have already condensed the Philosopher's Stone."

Zhao Fu smiled and said, "Now, show me the power of the Philosopher's Stone."

The soldier used the power of the Philosopher's Stone, and the power of alchemy spread out. The soldier's body began to mechanize, with a deeper degree of mechanization than before. The alchemy power entered their arm, and the arm became heavily mechanized, but not completely. Some flesh and blood remained.

Although it was not fully mechanized, the soldier's strength and control had become stronger, which was not a disadvantage.

Zhao Fu was satisfied and smiled, then had the soldier put away the Philosopher's Stone, which was a black crystal cube the size of a lychee, emitting a faint light.

After seeing it, Zhao Fu had the soldier put it away and had them check if there were any negative reactions in their body.

After carefully checking their body, the soldier confirmed that there were no negative reactions.

Zhao Fu finally relaxed and smiled. Great Qin had successfully mastered the Philosopher's Stone, and it could be used by Great Qin.

Afterwards, Zhao Fu called two more soldiers, one at Stage 0-1 and one at Stage 0-3.

Zhao Fu had them enter the alchemy formation one by one, allowing them to condense their own Philosopher's Stone.

Half a day later, a powerful aura burst out from their bodies, and a black flame ignited within them, causing a strong wind to spread outwards.

After everything had settled down, two soldiers approached Zhao Fu, and he began to check their strength, feeling somewhat surprised.

The person who was originally at the start of the first step of cultivation had actually improved by five step, directly reaching stage 0-6. The person who was originally at the third step of cultivation, now had the strength of stage 0-7 an improvement of four stages.

This improvement in strength was quite astonishing. If they were to rely solely on their own cultivation, it would take a long to achieve such power if one had no resources. However, by condensing the Philosopher's Stone, they were able to reach such levels in no time. It was no wonder that the power level in the world of alchemy was so high.

Afterwards, Zhao Fu called forth people with different levels of cultivation, ranging from 0-3 to 0-7, and had them enter the alchemy formation to condense their own Philosopher's Stone.

Boom, boom, boom...

A powerful aura burst out, and black flames ignited from their bodies, causing strong winds to spread outwards.

Their cultivations had all increased, with the third step improving by more than two step, the fourth step improving by one stage, the fifth step improving slightly, and the sixth step improving slightly as well. The seventh step did not improve at all.

From this, it could be seen that the higher one's cultivation, the less improvement they would receive from the Philosopher's Stone. Once they reached the seventh step, there was no improvement at all.

Although reaching the seventh level did not result in any improvement, it did not mean that there was no effect. They still had control over the power of the Philosopher's Stone, and they needed to constantly fuse with it to increase its power, thereby increasing their own strength.

Suddenly, Zhao Fu thought of something and took out a Blood God Pill, giving it to the soldier who had just improved to the sixth step, who was the same soldier as before who had been at the first step of cultivation.

The soldier accepted the Blood God Pill and followed Zhao Fu's orders, directly sitting cross-legged on the ground to refine it. Countless blood-colored auras continuously emanated from his body.

Several hours later, a powerful aura spread out from the soldier's body, and his cultivation had now reached the first stage.

Zhao Fu couldn't help but smile in excitement. A Philosopher's Stone could improve one's cultivation by five steps, while a Blood God Pill could improve it by four stages. As long as it was given to someone at the first stage of cultivation, they could immediately reach the first stage of strength.

Moreover, it only took an average person a few days to reach the first stage of cultivation, so it was almost negligible. In other words, with just one Philosopher's Stone and Blood God Pill, Qin could immediately have a soldier at the first stage of cultivation, and this level of improvement was truly astonishing.

At this point, even if Great Qin were to lose a few more soldiers, they could quickly make up for it with their tremendous reserves. In fact, if Zhao Fu wanted to, he could raise the entire population of Great Qin to the first stage of cultivation.

Considering Great Qin's strength and resources, they were already much stronger than most other powers, even stronger than some of the inner domain kingdoms. Although their basic soldiers were already at the second stage of cultivation, not all of their citizens had reached the first stage. However, with this new ability, Great Qin could easily accomplish this, narrowing the gap with the inner domain kingdoms even further.

Their current advantage was their second-stage basic troops. If Great Qin could also achieve second-stage basic troops, they would no longer be weaker than the inner domain kingdoms and would have nothing to fear from them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel excited. In just ten years, Great Qin had become stronger than powers that had been around for hundreds of years.

The philosopher's stone was more effective than the blood god pill in enhancing weaker individuals, but the blood god pill was more precious because the philosopher's stone had no effect on those at the seventh step of cultivation, whereas the blood god pill was effective for anyone, even those at the highest level.

Now that they had successfully researched the philosopher's stone, if they wanted to raise the entire population of Great Qin, they would need to make philosopher's stones available to everyone.

However, there was a problem: while Great Qin could easily obtain materials with the attributes of yin, yang, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, and space, they had great difficulty obtaining materials with the attribute of time.

This was the biggest problem they faced. Without materials with the time attribute, they could not produce large quantities of philosopher's stones, and their overall strength would not be able to improve.

TN: the naming system in this novels cultivation is migraine inducing. 0-7, for example, would be stage one stage seven... I don't know if it was the previous translator or the author, but that is absolutely atrocious. So it will now be step seven, while 1-7 would be stage one step seven. this will not effect any relevant cultivation names such as Emperor Heaven still being Emperor Heaven or general mentions such as 'they have purely stage two troops', thus It will not have that much of an effect on the novel.
