Chapter 209: The Contrasting Nether Spring
Jiang Chen stood before the withered tree, his mind racing as he calculated its worth.
He was no stranger to high-level concepts. He possessed a Fire Spirit Root, his artifact forging skills had reached the Mastery stage, and he even shared a bed with a High-level Alchemist. He had tasted Earth-grade pills before.
But the Rebirth Pill was different. Its reputation was Grandmaster, its effects defying the very laws of nature.
While it couldn’t grant a second life in the literal sense, its power was absolute for anyone below the Nascent Soul stage. Unless one had been beheaded or had their soul utterly obliterated, this pill could extend a dying cultivator’s life by seven days.
It induced a state similar to ‘terminal lucidity’—a final, explosive rally of vitality where injuries, spirit, and consciousness were restored to their peak.
In the current market, a single Rebirth Pill—even one of inferior quality—could fetch ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones.
Not Low-grade. Not Mid-grade. High-grade.
And now, one of the primary ingredients for this Grandmaster pill—the Death Tree, a plant that poisoned upon touch and killed upon ingestion—was growing quietly right in front of him.
It was a testament to the owner’s capabilities. Nether Spring was clearly no ordinary alchemist.
