Chapter 929 The Weakest Nascent Soul CultivatorThe moment the cauldron’s lip was removed, an intense fragrance filled up the small room. If Chen Fan hadn’t cast a barrier outside the carriage, the fragrance would have attracted all Fey Beasts to him in a hundred kilometer range.
Everyone looked closer and saw a tiny infant was sitting inside the three inch tall cauldron.
The infant-like creature had pink and smooth skin. Despite its size, it was every bit as real as a human infant. Its body gave off a strong and inviting fragrance.
“What?”
The girls were shocked.
Even the small Qilin was taken aback by the sight. It gaped at the cauldron in shock.
Yun Yier pointed an incredulous finger at the infant and shouted, “Senior Chen, is this Longevity Pill?”
No one had expected the Longevity Pill to look like this. They have accepted the fact that the Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence had come out in the form of a Qilin, but never had they thought that a pill could be shaped like an infant.
“Indeed.” Chen Fan nodeed. “A Longevity Pill is an elite mid-grade Heavenly Pill and one of the hardest to make. It is also called the Pill of Nascent Soul, meaning that it could grant mortals a Nascent Soul level immortality.”
“I can become a Nascent Soul Cultivator just by eating it?”
Lin Wuhua’s interest was piqued.
To become a Heavenly Lord Essence Neonate meant becoming a dominating force in Tianhuang. The Heavenly Lord Astral Sea from the Wang Family was one of such forces. No one, be it Lord Beihan or the Xuanming Grotto-heaven, would ever dare to challenge his supremacy. Another example would be the Heavenly Lord from the Alchemy Guild whose reign over Tianhuang also lasted for ten thousand years.
Therefore, it sounded unbelievable that such mighty force could be created with one pill.
Yun Yier glued her eyes on the Longevity Pill while smacking her lips from time to time.
“Well, yes and no. To have immortality doesn’t make you a Nascent Soul Cultivator.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
If he could become a Nascent Soul Cultivator that easily, he wouldn’t have to work so hard on his cultivation.
“It’s called the Pill of Nascent Soul because the pill takes the form of an infant. In addition, the Longevity Pill can help you form an undying body and grant at least ten thousand years to one’s life span. It also comes with a few Divine Powers that are unique to Heavenly Lords,” Chen Fan said with a smile.
“In some way, it is like becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator, albeit being the weakest Nascent Soul Cultivator in the world. So weak that even Wang Xuanlong and Lichen could be a threat.”
Despite Chen Fan’s explanation, the girl’s didn’t stop gawking at the pill.
They wouldn’t complain about the ten thousand years of life and an undying body.
That was enough for most cultivators. Most Golden Core Cultivators could only live a thousand years, and not even powerful elders were able to live past three thousand. Their power was a far cry from the weakest Heavenly Lord Essence Neonate.
Yun Yier inched closer to Chen Fan and asked coquettishly, “Senior Chen, could you please make another one just for me?”
Chen Fan jabbed a finger on her forehead, pushing her back as he said with a smirk.”Have some faith in yourself. I think you can become a Nascent Soul Cultivator without using this pill.”
“Really?”
Yun Yier widened her eyes in surprise.
“I never lie to girls,” Chen Fan said.
Yun Yier was one of the first people Chen Fan had met and she had always treated him kindly. Teaching her a thing or two was nothing compared to their bond.
For the few days that followed, Chen Fan toured nice sceneries in the State of Ancient Medicine while helping the three girls with their cultivation.
Elder Hu was right when he thought that Chen Fan would be injured after forcefully using a power beyond his level. However, the State of Ancient Medicine was covered with ancient forests. Trees that were as old as time were all across the reigning forests, offering the best place for Chen Fan to recuperate.
“Huulala!”
The Wood Element Spirit Qi trickled into a stream and flowed toward Chen Fan. Looking from afar, the current of energy looked like a long green dragon. It surrounded Chen Fan and mended his wounds. Chen Fan’s body became transparent; his blood was visibly coursing in his veins, and his skin shined like a diamond as it toughened.
Just as Chen Fan’s level of attainment improved by the day, so too was his Azure Thearch Longevity Body reaching perfection.
Chen Fan didn’t cover up his tail.
Therefore, he has visitors from time to time. Some asked to become his disciples and some begged him for elixirs. The Wu Family had also invited Chen Fan to the Zhenhai State for a banquet. They clearly stated that the Wu Family Ancestral Patriarch wished to marry the Wu Sisters to Chen Fan and offered him a handsome dowry including billions of Spirit Stones and Heavenly Arts. He even promised the seat of power to him.
However, Chen Fan wanted none of that.
“I will leave the Beihuang Region once I finish the second transmutation of Deity Wheel. There is nothing this place can offer me anymore. I should venture into the Sacred Land,” Chen Fan thought.
The Beihuang Region was a Heavenly Region, but it was located in the middle of nowhere and was far less important than the Incorruptible Sacred Land and the Ten Major Heavenly Regions.
Among all the families in the Heavenly Regions, only those who still have a living Heavenly Lord could be called Heavenly Lord Families. The Heavenly Lords from the Wu Family and the Hu family had passed away a while back; therefore, those families were called Quasi-Heavenly Lord Families.
Another reason for Chen Fan’s departure was his pursuit for more Heavenly Medicine. Chen Fan had stumbled upon a map that marked the locations of many Heavenly Medicines. Although the map was dated, it provided a road map for Chen Fan’s search.
Once his search was completed, he would finally finish the Nine Transformation Deity Wheel.
One day, as Chen Fan cultivated by himself in a valley, someone paid him an unexpected visit.
The visitors were a couple. The man has a soft face and was wearing a flowy white outfit, while the woman was in a violet dress. They drifted toward Chen Fan like two immortals.
“Violet Moon Fairy, long time no see.”
Chen Fan looked up.
He gave the man in white outfit a glance and was surprised by what he saw.
The man was only seventeen years old and had a handsome and refined appearance. However, Chen Fan noticed an energy inside of him that was much more powerful than Wang Xuanlong and Li Chen combined. Even Wu Wendin’s power would pale under comparison.
“Level nine Golden Core? Superior Heavenly Art? Two Quasi-Heavenly Treasures? The energy flowing in him has an eternal quality to it. Was he blessed by a Heavenly Lord or is he a reincarnation of a former Nascent Soul Cultivator?” Chen Fan’s mind raced.
The young man’s level of attainment was on par with the Ancient Demon Prince. The coursing energy was every bit as vigorous as his. Worse, there was something lurking inside of the young man’s body that even made Chen Fan feel threatened.
However, Chen Fan realized that it was not a big threat.
Chen Fan could ward off a Heavenly Lord, much less a young man.
“I am Luo Changshen, nice to meet you. I have heard so many things about you and finally had a chance to see you and your incredible Wood Element Divine Powers in person. I admire your power, Senior Chen.” the young man in white outfit said respectfully.
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you Luo Changshen? The one ranked twenty-one on the Longevity Roll?”
“My low ranking is pathetic compared to you. You can easily make it into the top ten, if not the top three of the Longevity Roll.”
Luo Changshen seemed embarrased.
“Brother Changshen, you’re too humble,” Chen Fan replied.
He was convinced that Luo Changshen had been holding back his strength in order to lower his ranking. His ranking was similar to Shenxi before she reformed her Golden Core. Chen Fan knew for sure that Luo Changshen was much more powerful than Shenxi.
During a fight, Luo Changshen could hold out against a power that was ten times greater than Shenxi’s. Chen Fan even doubted that he could bring him to heel without using the Xuan Wu True Form.
He was definitely the most powerful person Chen Fan had ever met in Tianhuang.
After the greetings were over, Luo Changshen suddenly pulled a taut face and asked, “Senior Chen, did you know that you’re in deep trouble?”
“You mean the Hu family?”
Chen Fan tilted his head slightly and grinned.
“The Heavenly Lords from the Hu family and the Feng Family have passed away, so only small backward places such as the Beihuang Region considered them a dominant force. They are of no threat to you,” Luo Changshen shook his head and said, “The real threat came from your Elixir Monarch title.”
“Lichen and his friends meant you no good, but one thing they said was true.”
“The title of Elixir Monarch is granted after the consensus of many forces in the Heavenly Regions, particularly the recognition of.. THEM…”
Li Changsheng’s face became serious.
“Them?” Chen Fan was perplexed.
“Indeed. They are the final arbiters in high ranking titles such as Heavenly Alchemist or Elixir Monarch.” Luo Changshen nodded.
His words shocked the girls. Even Violet Moon Fairy widened her eyes in disbelief.
A Heavenly Alchemist was such a powerful being that even a Heavenly Lord needed to be respectful. Who would dictate their titles?
It had to be a terrifying power to wield such authority.
