Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

The rare and precious materials of the Three Realms are generally divided into divine materials, immortal materials, and spiritual materials. The so-called divine materials are actually spiritual fruits nurtured by acquired spiritual roots, or acquired spiritual roots can also be considered divine materials. Above divine materials are innate divine objects!

Innate spiritual fruits nurtured by innate spiritual roots, or innate objects that are not generally considered to be innate spiritual roots, are all considered innate divine objects.

Peaches of immortality are actually divine objects born from nature!

However, the value of a primordial divine object may not necessarily exceed that of a divine material!

Peaches that are three or six thousand years old cannot compare in value to fruits nurtured by top-quality acquired spiritual roots.

However, the ginseng fruit, or the top-tier innate divine object nurtured by the mother peach tree, is something that exists only once in the Three Realms and is not something that can be heard of in ordinary times.

With only 150,000 merit points left, Zhou Yi couldn't buy any divine materials, so he could only buy some immortal materials to try refining pills!

Fortunately, the Dao Fruit is profound and the Chaos Elixir Fire is wondrous!

After Zhou Yi fully mastered a secret alchemy technique comparable to supreme divine power, and after several failed attempts, he successfully refined a batch of sixth-grade immortal pills. Finally, Zhou Yi attempted to refine seventh-grade divine pills!

Inside the Alchemy Pavilion of the Azure Lotus Dao Palace, as arranged by Zhou Yi.

Looking at the stove.

The Purple Gold Dragon and Tiger Alchemy Furnace is a gift from Wang Lingguan and is a top-grade immortal treasure.

Because he still had a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure-level alchemy furnace, he gave this unused furnace to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi remembered the kindness shown to him.

After all, even if the other party doesn't need it, they still have disciples and followers!

Top-grade immortal treasures aren't cheap at the Heavenly Craft Academy!

Especially for top-grade auxiliary immortal treasures, this alchemy furnace would cost at least 100,000 merits to buy at the Heavenly Craft Academy.

Golden light shimmered on the purple-gold dragon and tiger patterns, constantly swirling around the alchemy furnace, its mysterious power enveloping the three-meter-tall furnace.

Zhou Yi dared not be distracted. With a thought, he channeled a stream of primordial energy into the furnace!

That's right, it's the Primordial Qi!

After several attempts, Zhou Yi was surprised to find that his Primordial Dao Qi could actually increase the success rate of alchemy and the effectiveness of the pills.

"We mustn't fail! Otherwise, we'll waste a peach!"

Yes, this time Zhouyi's refining process uses a nine-thousand-year-old peach as the main ingredient.

If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off!

Although the seventh-order divine pill is precious, it is still only a pill for Golden Immortals to cultivate. One seventh-order divine pill is worth about 100,000 merits, while a nine-thousand-year-old peach is a Taiyi-level divine object, worth at least 200,000 merits!

Now, Zhou Yi is using a Taiyi-level divine object to refine a Golden Immortal-level elixir!

Isn't this like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon?

There's nothing Zhou Yi can do about this!

The pills he is currently refining are the One Yuan Golden Pill, one of the three seven-tiered divine pills recorded in the alchemy classic "Primordial Qi Furnace"!

The One Yuan Golden Elixir is a golden elixir of immeasurable great magical power!

One coin can increase the power of a Golden Immortal by one unit, which is equivalent to the magical power cultivated by a Golden Immortal for 129,600 years.

This is precisely the elixir that Zhou Yi needs most to increase the magical power within the Golden Core Primordial Space. Otherwise, relying solely on breathing exercises, when would he ever be able to fully cultivate his magical power?

The profound mysteries of the Primordial Qi will inevitably become a consumable resource exclusive to the I Ching.

The main ingredient of the One Yuan Golden Elixir is the peach of immortality, but it doesn't need to be a nine-thousand-year-old peach; a six-thousand-year-old peach, or even a three-thousand-year-old peach, is sufficient. However...

The Book of Changes doesn't contain peaches that are three or six thousand years old.

Moreover, the quality of the other auxiliary ingredients was also substandard. They were all low-grade immortal materials that could only barely make do. If it weren't for the mysterious properties of the Primordial Dao Qi, Zhou Yi really wouldn't have had the courage to refine this batch of One Yuan Golden Pills!

Buzzing...

The alchemy furnace emitted a muffled thud, signaling, "Forty-nine days have passed; it's time to collect the elixir!"

With a thought, the furnace door opened, and a stream of light flew out from the Dragon Tiger Pill Furnace. Zhou Yi was prepared, his hands forming a pill-making incantation, and the top-grade immortal treasure, the Purple Gold Gourd, was already ready in his hand!

Whoosh...

With the incantation activated, a beam of divine light flew into the purple-gold gourd under Zhou Yi's control!

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

One batch can actually refine thirty-six One Yuan Golden Pills. Based on the value of one seventh-grade divine pill being 100,000 merits, these thirty-six pills are worth 3.6 million merits!

Hiss hiss hiss...

No wonder even a powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortal like Brother Wang wants to learn alchemy; it's incredibly lucrative!

This is much better than working hard to earn money by taking on missions!

At this moment, Zhou Yi was overjoyed!

The tasks of the Celestial Enforcement Department are actually not many. After all, those low-level immortals have finally ascended to the Heavenly Court and are now serving there. They have achieved enlightenment and are unlikely to commit any crimes.

Those who truly dare to commit crimes are only high-level immortals, and Zhou Yi cannot interfere with them.

At most, they can only take on some tasks such as patrolling the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Four Heavenly Gates!

If he hadn't achieved the rank of True Lord, Zhou Yi would really have had to clock in and take turns patrolling the Heavenly Court!

But now he has achieved the position of True Lord!

No one forced him to inspect the thirty-three heavens anymore. After all, given his status, it would be a disgrace to the Heavenly Court to have a True Lord serving as a minor celestial official.

His divine sense probed into the purple-gold gourd, where thirty-six golden pills, each the size of a longan, shimmered with a faint glow. Each of the ten golden pills had seven profound Dao patterns on it.

Seven lines!

This also represents the grade of a seventh-tier divine pill!

The nine Dao patterns represent the nine levels of alchemy, but not every pill can possess Dao patterns.

Zhou Yi's seventh-grade One Yuan Golden Pill also has different grades. The low-grade One Yuan Golden Pill has impurities and poison, while the top-grade One Yuan Golden Pill is basically free of impurities. As for the King-grade One Yuan Golden Pill, it is the One Yuan Golden Pill that Zhou Yi is currently refining.

Not only does it possess a radiant glow, but it also has seven Dao patterns!

This represents the highest quality of the elixir at this level.

The instant the Zhouyi One Yuan Golden Elixir was produced, a wisp of purple smoke shot into the sky. Although the fluctuations were not very large, they could still be felt within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Especially Wang Lingguan, who was on duty at the Sitian Divine Palace, a hundred miles away!

With his cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he immediately sensed the rich medicinal energy and suddenly looked up in the direction of the Azure Lotus Dao Palace!

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

That's unlikely, is it? They actually succeeded?

That's unreasonable...

Only those who have studied alchemy know the difficulty of refining divine pills, but at this moment he clearly felt that Zhou Yi, a celestial immortal, had refined a divine pill in just a few months!

That elixir energy is absolutely from a divine elixir.

"Could this also be a legacy of Pangu? Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for someone to become a grandmaster of alchemy in such a short time."

Grandmaster of Alchemy!

It refers to alchemists who can refine divine pills. There are not many grandmasters of alchemy in the entire Three Realms, and even fewer who can refine eighth- or ninth-grade pills.

"It must be like the Sage Taiqing who received the inheritance of the Great God Pangu regarding alchemy; otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible..."
