Hearing the surrounding self-cultivators praising Qingfeng Li, Wuhen Di’s expression grew dark. He felt very uncomfortable.
The healing elixir made by Qingfeng Li was better than his own, this was no doubt a slap in his face.
Wuhen Di shook his head. “Perhaps you only know how to make this one type of elixir,” he said. “This means nothing. As for the other types, vital essence recovery elixirs and spirit energy recovery elixirs, can you make those too?
“Looks like you won’t give up easily,” replied Qingfeng Li. “Then prepare these for me: a stalk of sky essence grass, a fiery sun fruit, black crystal seeds, a mana vine, a seven-colored flower, and an illusory leaf. I’ll show you how I make elixirs for recovering vital essence and mana and make you acknowledge my skill once and for all.”
Wuhen Di reached into his interspatial ring and took out massive amounts of valuable spirit herbs. These were all monarch level spirit herbs, gifted to him by other masters when they asked him to make elixirs for them.
If anyone were to ask who the wealthiest people on the Crimson Fire Continent were, the answer would no doubt be the alchemists.
Qingfeng Li smiled. Taking the spirit herbs from Wuhen Di, he divided them into two piles; one pile was for making the vital essence elixir, and another was for making the spirit elixir.
Qingfeng Li began by putting the ingredients for the vital essence elixir into the alchemy furnace. Then, he formed various Mudra seals with his hands. Golden Flames formed under the furnace, heating the materials inside.
Five minutes later, Qingfeng Li had already finished making the elixir. This was a silvery-white elixir that contained a massive amount of vital essence.
Qingfeng Li instructed Wuhen Di to consume it. When he did, he felt his entire body fill up with strength. The massive waves of vital essence were like an ocean that contained a terrifying amount of power as it crashed into his lower abdomen and spirit nucleus. It almost caused a change in his spirit nucleus.
When Wuhen Di had fully absorbed the elixir made by Qingfeng Li, he felt that his power almost broke through to the spirit monarch realm second class. This was a massive change, because the elixirs that Wuhen Di had made before had never had such an effect.
Qingfeng Li smiled. “Now,” he said, “I’ll make the spirit elixir for you.”
With that, Qingfeng Li tossed all the spirit herbs used for the spirit elixir into the alchemy furnace and began to make Mudra seals again.
This time, the Mudra seals Qingfeng Li made were mana Mudra seals, completely different from the vital essence Mudra seals he made earlier with different hand positions. Mantra chants spilled from his lips and formed black talisman scripts, which entered the alchemy furnace.
Inside the alchemy furnace, the ingredients quickly melted into drops of liquid, which then came together and formed a black elixir.
After another five minutes, the black elixir was successfully made. Qingfeng Li opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and took the elixir out.
This elixir was also only the size of a thumb, with black talisman scripts glowing on the surface. The self-cultivators gathered around as they took one look at it and felt like their spirits were about to be drawn into the elixir.
These self-cultivators backed away, startled, their faces draining of color. They didn’t dare look at this elixir any longer; it was like a soul-sucking monster.
Qingfeng Li handed the black elixir to Wuhen Di. “This is called the Soul Gathering Elixir,” he said. “Try it. It’ll definitely improve your spirit energy by a full level.”
Seeing the Soul Gathering Elixir, Wuhen Di’s hands began to shake. “This is the spirit monarch realm First Class elixir, Soul Gathering Elixir,” he said. “Even I can’t make such a thing. I can’t believe you succeeded. This is amazing, let me try it out.”
Wuhen Di hurriedly stuffed the elixir into his mouth. The moment it touched his tongue, it turned into a wave of spirit energy talisman scripts. These were the purest seal elixirs in the world.
When Qingfeng Li was making this spirit energy elixir, he had added a bit of the chaotic energy from the Chaos Millstone, thereby giving the elixir some of the power of Chaos.
The Power of Chaos was the most amazing power in the world. It was created as the Universe itself was created, when all matter was formed.
Humans were made up of two parts, the body and the spirit.
The Chaos Millstone was a Great Treasure of the spirit. It was also a Higher Heaven numinous treasure. He added a hint of spirit qi, which could remove all the impurities in a person’s spirit energy. It was then a simple matter of making the spirit energy even purer and breaking through to a higher level.
After Wuhen Di consumed Qingfeng Li’s Soul Gathering Elixir, a torrential mana storm formed inside his mind-space. It was like a raging tornado inside his mind, spinning incessantly and tearing his spirit energy apart, only for it to gather again.
Before this, Wuhen Di’s spirit energy was only at the Half-Step spirit monarch realm. Now that he had taken Qingfeng Li’s Soul Gathering Elixir, his spirit energy broke through and directly reached the spirit monarch realm First Class.
It had to be said that, breaking through on the level of spirit energy was far more difficult than the development of physical vital energy.
To an alchemist, spirit energy was of the utmost importance and was their most valuable possession. Once their spirit energy improves, the elixirs they produced would become even more powerful and their effectiveness would likewise increase.
Wuhen Di opened his eyes, a flash of black light shooting from his pupils. After his spirit energy increased, his own strength was likewise increased somewhat.
Wuhen Di’s gaze toward Qingfeng Li held a mix of emotion, among which was a hint of admiration.
He walked up to Qingfeng Li and, bowing, he gave his apology. “I was wrong,” he said. “The elixirs made by you are indeed more powerful than my own. And they even helped me improve my spirit energy.”
Around them, the self-cultivators saw this scene and were overcome with shock. They all stood there, jaws agape enough to fit an egg.
“What did I just see? Is Master Wuhen Di actually bowing to Qingfeng Li in apology? I think I’m going to go blind.”
“Right, you weren’t hallucinating. Qingfeng Li’s alchemy arts are better than even Wuhen Di’s. Of course, he has to apologize.”
“From this day forth, Qingfeng Li is my idol. He’s only twenty-something, that’s so young… But the elixirs he makes are better than those of Wuhen Di.”
All around, the self-cultivators stared at Qingfeng Li with stars in their eyes. Some of the female self-cultivators looked ready to dash over and throw themselves at him.
In the eyes of these female self-cultivators, not only was Qingfeng Li handsome and strong, his alchemy arts were also superb. Men like this would naturally receive the adoration of women wherever he went.
Qingfeng Li smiled. “Wuhen Di,” he said, “now, can you fulfill your promise and give those healing elixirs to me?”
Wuhen Di nodded without hesitation. He went and took a hundred healing elixirs, along with vital essence recovery and mana recover elixirs and even some spirit herbs and put them all before Qingfeng Li.
The massive amounts of elixirs piled up like a mountain, making bystanders stare with jealous admiration.
Qingfeng Li gave him an odd look. “Our bet only included ten healing elixirs,” he said. “You didn’t need to give me this many. There’s ten times that amount here.”
Wuhen Di shook his head. “They are yours,” he said. “Today, you’ve shown me how ignorant I was. I’ve been a frog inside a well. Besides, the spirit elixir you made improved my spirit energy by a full level. These gifts are rightfully yours.”
