In Name Disciple

With the experience of successfully refining the first pill, Su Chen's refining speed for the second pill

was much faster. It only took him a short eight minutes.

"Ding … consumed Life Continuing Pill, increased lifespan by ten years."

"Ding … because the host's body is weak, the kidney has collapsed, causing most of the medicinal

effect to dissipate. The host can only obtain a tenth of the pill's effect."

"Ding … because the host has consumed the Life Continuing Pill for the second time, the host has

developed a resistance to the pill. The effect has decreased by 10%."

Su Chen's mentality almost collapsed.

Not giving it to me for a year and even giving me a 10% discount. Can I still play!

Two and a half years plus eleven months, Su Chen's current lifespan was only three and a half

years. He was really too weak.

Moreover, every time he consumed the Life Continuing Pill, the resistance would continue to

increase.

Sure enough, after consuming the third Life Continuing Pill, the effect had already decreased by

20%.

A pill could only be consumed ten times, after which it would completely lose its effect.

"Continue to refine, even an extra month of lifespan would be good!"

Just as Su Chen was about to refine the fourth Life Continuing Pill, Chu Tianming suddenly had

people bring in boxes of medicinal ingredients.

"Master Su, these are all high quality medicinal ingredients from various countries. I hope that

Master Su will kindly accept them." Chu Tianming respectfully said.

Su Chen lightly nodded and unceremoniously accepted all the medicinal ingredients.

Of course he knew what Chu Tianming was planning.

The value of a Grand Master Alchemist, as long as one wasn't an idiot, one would understand. In

the past, Chu relied on Huang Zhan, a Heaven Tier Alchemist, to be able to sit at the peak of

martial strength in various countries. The cultivators under his command all had outstanding

strength and their cultivation speed was godly.

Now that a Heaven Tier Alchemist had appeared, if Chu Tianming didn't know how to grasp such a

good opportunity, he wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne for seventy years.

Chu Tianming wanted to curry favor with Su Chen, and Su Chen was naturally happy to sit back

and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.

However, Su Chen did not have a good habit of helping others. Long Province was his foundation.

Instead of helping others achieve great things, it was better to be a king himself.

What's more, Su Chen's birth mother in this life was still in the Cold Palace, her life and death

unknown. Su Chen inherited all the memories of the original owner of this body, and also inherited

his affection for his birth mother. He definitely couldn't leave his birth mother in the lurch.

Not long after, Su Chen had refined another nine Life Continuing Pills and had consumed almost all

of the medicinal ingredients.

Su Chen ate seven of them, and his lifespan barely increased to seven years. He gave the

remaining two to Huang Zhan and Chu Tianming respectively.

The two looked at the Life Continuing Pills in their hands with mixed feelings, especially Huang

Zhan.

In his life, his biggest failure was the Life-prolonging Pill. It didn't matter if he worked hard for

decades, but now that he saw Su Chen refining so many Life-prolonging Pills so casually, his heart

was filled with complicated feelings that were hard to describe.

"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"

Suddenly, Huang Zhan knelt down in front of Su Chen, performing a grand ceremony of

apprenticeship.

Su Chen frowned, "Senior, what are you doing?"

Huang Zhan said, "Disciple doesn't have much time left, and should have used my death as an

apology, but Master gave me a Life Continuing Pill to help me extend my lifespan. The grace of

rebirth is equivalent to that of a parent. Disciple can only serve Master with a sinful body to repay

Master."

Uh …

This old man was quite honest. Just a moment ago, he wanted to die, but now that he got the Life

Continuing Pill, he came to take Su Chen as his master. He didn't even ask if Su Chen agreed.

But Su Chen thought about it carefully. If he could control Huang Zhan in his hands, it would be a

good thing.

Aside from being a Master Alchemist, he was also a Heaven Realm expert. This kind of expert

could be considered a peak existence in any country. According to what he knew, including Chu

Long Province, there were only twenty to thirty Heaven Realm experts in the surrounding countries.

Although Su Chen had an endless amount of skill points, and any skill would be maxed out, his

strength still needed to be raised step by step. In the short term, he still lacked a sense of security.

With a Heaven Realm expert as a free bodyguard, why not?

"Fine, since you're such a sincere clone, I'll take you in as an in-name disciple first. If you perform

well, there's no harm in teaching you some alchemy skills." Su Chen was now very arrogant, and

he spoke with the tone of a big shot.

Huang Zhan was overjoyed. He quickly kowtowed three times and said, "Thank you, Master. This

disciple will definitely follow Master's teachings."

Chu Tianming also didn't think that Master Huang would suddenly take him as his master. He also

quickly followed and said, "Master Su, my Chu Chu still has a vacancy for the position of State

Teacher. In the entire Chu Chu, I'm afraid that only you, Master Su, have the qualifications to take

on such a heavy responsibility."

"State Teacher? That's fine. Then I'll reluctantly take on the role."

Su Chen stood up and said with a smile, "But I also have a condition. I don't usually refine

medicine. If Your Majesty wants me to refine medicine, in addition to the ingredients, you'll need to

prepare 100,000 yuan each time as a service fee."

The yuan was the common currency of the Xuanyuan Continent. It could be circulated between

countries. The purchasing power of 100,000 yuan was almost equivalent to 1,000,000 yuan on

Earth.

100,000 yuan for one session of medicine refining was not a small sum.

"Master Su, don't worry. I won't mistreat a talent."

The corner of Chu Tianming's mouth twitched. This was the first time someone dared to make a

condition with him. Moreover, Su Chen's appetite was so big that he had no room to refuse.

The identity of a Grandmaster Alchemist was too tempting. As long as he could firmly grasp Su

Chen, he would serve him well even if it meant using the power of the entire country.

…

The next day.

The Danqing Palace had been renovated inside and out. It looked brand new. The light was much

brighter, and it was no longer as gloomy as before.

"Master, the cultivation methods and secret manuals you wanted are all here."

Huang Zhan ordered someone to bring in a box made of purple gold sandalwood.

He had taken the Life-prolonging Pill and extended his life by ten years. His old ghost-like

appearance had recovered, and the wrinkles on his face had lessened. Perhaps it was because he

had regained his essence, Qi, and spirit, but he also had the demeanor of an immortal.

Su Chen's face lit up with joy. He hurriedly asked him to open the box and take out all the cultivation methods and secret manuals inside.

"Master, these are all Origin and Mystic level cultivation methods. The Earth and Heaven level

cultivation methods are all in the Scripture Pavilion. They are protected by the Divine Glyph Array

and cannot be taken out."

"It's fine. I'll go back to the Scripture Pavilion later. You can leave now."

After chasing away Huang Zhan, Su Chen immediately began to read the various cultivation

methods and secret manuals.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading "Ape King Fist Art" to level ten (max)."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading "Waning Meteor Blade" to level ten (max)."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading "Mountain Splitting Palm" to level ten (max)."

"Ding …"

Su Chen didn't care about biting off more than he could chew. He praised every skill that came to

him. After a day, he had learned all the skills in the box, and all of them were at the max level.

"Twenty-seven types of Origin Level max level skills. They basically cover all kinds of martial arts. It

should be enough."

Other than the Origin Level skills, Su Chen also learned three sets of Mystic World skills.

Raging Flame Thunderbolt Hand, Shifting Force, and Frost Palm.

Most of the Origin Level skills were martial arts. They relied on the body's strength to release battle

power.

But different Mystic Levels were different. Mystic level cultivation methods and skills all required the

use of the body's Origin Energy to release stronger battle power. Different cultivation methods also

had different attributes. Not all cultivation methods could be learned casually.

For example, the Raging Flame Thunderbolt Hand turned Origin Energy into flames to increase the

killing power of the palm technique. It was a fire type skill.

And Frost Palm was an ice type skill that completely countered each other.

If a cultivator cultivated both fire and ice type skills, it would naturally be easy for them to clash.

They would either cultivate to the point of Qi Deviation, or they wouldn't be able to do anything at

all.

But Su Chen didn't have this restriction. No matter what attribute the cultivation method was, as

long as there were skill points, he could praise it to the max level.

Their attributes clashed?

It didn't exist
