Chapter 1288: Jadeblood Pill Heart

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Huh?”

Mei Yazhi was astonished. What the hell was this? Sun Mo’s blood splattered on the alchemy cauldron and immediately vaporized, drawn into the cauldron.

Could it be that a blood sacrifice was really useful?

“Wow, has a divine pill appeared?”

Sun Mo was stunned and then immediately became excited.

Even all the people in Han City would be able to see this seven-colored light as long as they looked in its direction, let alone the people from Jixia Academy.

“The ancient books have it that when seven-colored lights materialize, a divine pill appears. Teacher Mei, this means that the divine pill has reached the major-completion stage!”

Mei Yazhi was the only one refining pills in the alchemy area now, so this ray of light was definitely created by her.

The entire Jixia Academy was in an uproar.

Such a grand scene was something that might not occur even once in a hundred years. Therefore, even the students who were still in class rushed out of the classroom and ran to the alchemy area, wanting to watch the show.

Stopped by great teachers?

Please, the great teachers ran faster than the students!

Immortality was everyone’s wish. Therefore, all the emperors from the past to present yearned to obtain immortality pills. Even if they couldn’t get one of those, getting some alchemical pills that could strengthen their bodies and allowing them to go for seven rounds in a night would work too.

Relying on such primitive desires, alchemy became the most popular subject in the Nine Provinces.

If a student had talent in alchemy, they’d definitely pick this subject.

Many teachers and students could already smell an indescribable fragrance before they got close to the alchemy area. It touched their hearts, leaving a lingering fragrance in their mouths. It felt as if even their souls were overflowing with fragrance.

Spiritually, it was like the feeling of licking a cooling oil. There’d be a sudden jolt, clearing off all chaos and confusion amidst the exhilaration.

In the past, everyone used their minds to perceive the world. It was as if they were separated by a fence then. But now, this fragrance was like a giant’s hand crushing the fence into sawdust.

A few talented teachers and students immediately received a hint of enlightenment. They didn’t care where they were and immediately sat down, quickly entering a state of meditation to experience the enlightenment that was like a crafty and slippery fish in a deep sea.

Achance to receive enlightenment was very precious and they mustn’t lose it.

“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!”

‘Wei Ziyou strolled through the school. Every time he saw a student or teacher sitting on the ground to meditate, he would mutter ‘excellent’ in his heart.

These were all talented and outstanding students. He needed to remember them and put more effort into nurturing them.

However, there were too few of them.

‘Wei Ziyou raised his head and looked at the seven-colored light. He was not anxious because he knew that the divine pill was a success. It wasn’t going to run away.

“Is this a phenomenon that occurs when a peerless-grade saint-tier alchemical pill is refined?”

Many people had gathered outside the alchemy area, all of them staring.

“When a peerless-grade saint-tier alchemical pill is refined, there’ll be an overwhelming and auspicious aura. On the other hand, an alchemical pill that brings about rainbow light is usually obtained by chance. Other than the intended effects of the alchemical pill, there’d be other additional effects. Even

the alchemist themselves wouldn’t be able to replicate the pill.”

A grandmaster-level alchemist was so agitated that he couldn’t speak clearly anymore when he was explaining things.

This was a moment of history.

“The headmaster is here!”

Someone shouted and everyone immediately looked over and pleaded.

“Principal, can you please remove the lockdown order? Everyone wants to admire the divine pill from up close!”

‘Wei Ziyou felt a headache from the commotion. Before he could reply, the head of teaching pulled his right arm.

“Youre finally here. Hurry up, I’m still waiting to see the divine pill come out!”

The head of teaching had always been particular about seniority and etiquette, but at this moment, he was like a boorish man without the disposition of a great teacher at all.

If it wasn’t because he knew that he couldn’t win against Wei Ziyou in a fight, he’d have picked up the headmaster and ran to the alchemy room.

Swoosh!

The great teachers immediately followed behind him.

“Teacher Miao, pay attention to your etiquette!”

After saying that, Wei Ziyou turned around and instructed, “All students, stay here. Don’t come any closer!”

Buzz!

These were the words of a saint. Even though Wei Ziyou hadn’t performed Profound Words, the students still couldn’t help but stop in their tracks.

Mei Yazhi’s personal alchemy room was huge, but it couldn’t fit so many great teachers. Therefore, at such times, the star-level became the only criteria.

Those with low star-levels stopped automatically, while the high star-levels could continue to follow.

This was also an unspoken rule in the great teacher world.

If any low star-level great teachers were to enter the alchemy room without a care, they would end up having their lives made difficult for them later on!

Everyone remained silent as they watched the glow from the alchemy cauldron disappear. Then, they all congratulated Mei Yazhi.

“Congratulations, Teacher Mei, on successfully refining a divine pill and advancing to the ancestor level!”

This divine pill was enough to let Mei Yazhi enter the top ten in the alchemy world. It was the kind of recognition that couldn’t be changed regardless of whether the Saint Gate acknowledged her as a great ancestor or not.

“Thank you!”

Mei Yazhi returned the bow. “However, this success is all thanks to Teacher Sun’s help!”

Swoosh!

All the great teachers looked toward Sun Mo.

Over the past few days, they had learned some information through various channels. They knew that Sun Mo had given Mei Yazhi a unique spirit rune. Could it be that Great Ancestor Mei’s success was related to this spirit rune?

“If it wasn’t for Sun Mo’s spirit rune and God Hands, I’d have died, let alone being able to refine a divine pill.”

Trying to be mutually helpful, Mei Yazhi took the opportunity to advertise for Sun Mo. “His spirit rune can greatly improve the efficiency of us alchemists.”

“Teacher Sun, you must give me one!”

The head of teaching immediately said, wanting to be the first to get it.

The others quickly followed.

“It’s a spirit rume that has not been tested yet. There might be side effects in the future!”

Sun Mo reminded them.

“Is it a forbidden technique?” The head of teaching laughed. “It’s alright, I’m willing to be your experimental subject!”

“Count me in!”

“Tm willing to contribute my body to help Teacher Sun complete the spirit rune forbidden art!”

“I believe in Ancestor Sun’s capabilities!”

The great teachers didn’t panic and thought to themselves. (Mei Yazhi is your mother-in-law. Surely you wouldn’t dare to inscribe a dangerous spirit rune onto her, right? Aren’t you afraid that Mei Ziyu would make you kneel on the washing board tonight?)

“We’ll talk about this later. Let’s open the cauldron and see the pill!”

Sun Mo changed the topic. He was also very happy that great teachers were fighting to be his experimental subjects.

The great teachers automatically retreated three meters. This was both to avoid arousing suspicion and also to show respect. After all, at this moment, Mei Yazhi was the main character on the stage.

Sun Mo was no exception. He planned on standing beside Wei Ziyou and pretending to be an obedient child, but Mei Yazhi held him back.

“Open the cauldron with me!”

Mei Yazhi did not give Sun Mo a chance to refuse.

Having changed into a new great teacher robe, she looked impressive once again. With a wave of her wide sleeve, the alchemy cauldron was opened, and a pleasant fragrance immediately diffused into the surroundings, filling everyone’s nostrils and penetrating their souls.

Many great teachers shuddered immediately, feeling as if their souls, which had been shrouded with a layer of ash, were cleansed by a pail of refreshing spring water.

In the blink of an eye, over ten great teachers sat down cross-legged and entered a state of enlightenment.

The alchemical pill was the size of an egg, presenting a purple color and shrouded by a purple pill qi with a hint of gold. There was also a light band that was similar to Saturn’s rings that circled around it.

It was so beautiful that people didn’t know how they should praise it. They could only look at it with an infatuated gaze.

“As expected of a divine pill!”

Wei Ziyou sighed.

He was someone who had refined a divine pill before, but that was only after he was more than 200 years old. As for Mei Yazhi, she was only in her fifties.

To a great teacher in the Longevity Realm, she was considered to be in the prime of youth.

For a moment, Wei Ziyou wanted to ask Sun Mo to give him a set of the forbidden art spirit runes.

“Is this the Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill that can reconstruct the soul? It’s really miraculous!”

Everyone had heard from Mei Yazhi’s two assistants about this alchemical pill. They had also heard where the alchemy prescription had come from.

To speak the truth, the prescription was very precious and was already lost in the Nine Provinces. It was the one and only copy. Since Sun Mo had taken it out as a gift to his mother-in-law, these people could only accept it.

No matter how they looked at it, Mei Ziyu was worth this alchemy prescription.

Mei Yazhi was agitated and tears welled up in her eyes.

(actually refined such a beautiful alchemical pill?)

All sorts of memories from the past surged into Mei Yazhi’s mind.

‘When other children were playing and having fun, a particular six-year-old girl would stay in the library every day and read ancient books bigger than her head. She could memorize over 1,000 alchemy prescriptions.

‘When her close friends were discussing which place carried better rouge or powder, a 16-year-old young lady sat in front of a hot alchemy cauldron and endured for tens of hours, not daring to sleep, waiting for the alchemical pills to be done. If she were to doze off, her father would beat her up fiercely

with a cane.

While others were enjoying relationships, as a young lady in her twenties, she was still sitting alone in the alchemy room, pursuing the endless way of alchemy.

There were many nights in which she wondered if it was worth it to be putting in so much hard work.

Mei Yazhi did not have an answer, but she did not have to think about it anymore in the future.

It was because the answer was already in front of her.

“Everyone has their own path to take. I don’t have to be envious of them. I’l just be myself and take my own path. Then, I’ll be able to see scenery that belongs only to me!”

Mei Yazhi mumbled, reached out her hand, and touched that Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill.

The purple pill gi with a hint of gold seemed to have touched the hand of its lover that it hadn’t met for very long. Hence, it wrapped itself around Mei Yazhi’s finger, immersing in her grasp.

Swoosh!

A stream of bright red glow lit up on Mei Yazhi’s body. It wasn’t piercing to the eyes but was warm like hot blood.

“This…”

Saint Wei, who was unperturbed even after seeing the appearance of a divine pill, was stunned upon seeing this. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Those who majored in other subjects thought that Mei Yazhi had gained a new great teacher halo, but the great teachers who majored in alchemy were extremely shocked.

A great teacher subconsciously called out, but he covered his mouth with his hand immediately, afraid that he would disturb Mei Yazhi.

“Mother!”

Mei Ziyu rushed over. When she pushed through the crowd and rushed into the alchemy room, she froze on the spot when she saw the bloody red glow coming from Mei Ziyu.

“Huh? This is Jade… Jadeblood Pill Heart?”

Coming from a great lineage of alchemy, Mei Ziyu naturally knew what this state was. However, she didn’t dare to believe it. It was because she had only seen it once when she was very young, on her great-grandfather.

That great-grandfather was the most talented alchemist in the Mei Clan who had once obtained the reputation of being the Alchemy Sage. Wei Ziyou was one of his personal disciples.
