Chapter 888: Underworld Warhorse
Both Scribes and Tech Priests would’ve been considered rare and almost useless professions in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, but here, they were controlled and had structure.
Long Chen did know a little about Alchemists as Situ Yi was one. Alchemists could combine spiritual herbs, refine them with core fire, and then follow a recipe to make various pills. Some of the pills required only common ingredients but granted the user incredible power.
“Alchemists are almost as popular as Tech Priests. In Scarlet Water City alone, there are dozens of Alchemists and Scribes. The stronger ones are treated as guests by the mayor. He gives them a lot of Emperor Crystals every year for them to stay here. However, the Heavenly Fortune Pill is not something they could make here. Rumor has it that the Scarlet Water Association obtained it from someone who was unaware of its true value.”
Long Chen’s eyes were glimmering with curiosity because he wanted to know what the Heavenly Fortune Pill did when even Zhao Kongming was interested in it.
“Wan’er, what is a Heavenly Fortune Pill?”
“The Heavenly Fortune Pill is a medicine that’s extremely hard to manufacture. Only Alchemists at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage can make it, and even then, they can only produce lower-quality ones.
“The lower-quality ones contain a little bit of the Alchemist’s understanding of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Someone at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage can advance into the Heavenly Martial Realm with ease after consuming it, and someone at the First Heavenly Martial Stage can reach the Second Heavenly Martial Stage. Beyond that, those at the Third Heavenly Martial Stage would only find themselves understanding the Heavenly Martial Realm a bit more after eating it.
“I think Jun’er’s master intends to give it to someone else. It might be valuable, but it's useless for us at this point.”
Long Chen nodded. “Then how much is a single Heavenly Fortune Pill?”
