Chapter 36 - Alchemy Saint?

In actual fact, Jiu Shen had countless ways to help her resolve her issue. But he only stated that he had two ways in order to make him seem more believable.

"Lord Jiu Shen, my name is Lu Sulan. If you can indeed help me resolve my illness, then taking ten years worth of Frozen Cloud Glacier is not an issue." Lu Sulan said expectantly. She was getting very restless and afraid of her present condition. If she was not the sect leader of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect, she didn’t have problems with dying, but she was the strongest person in their sect. And if she died, the sect would lose a backbone and they would then face countless hungry eyes who had been eyeing their secret technique for many years.

"It’s good that Sect Leader Lu is a very straightforward person. Since that’s the case, I will tell you the two things that will help you resolve your issue."

Hearing his words, Lu Sulan’s eyes brightened in excitement. She perked up her ears and listened attentively to what he was about to say.

"The first one is a bit hard since it needs you to consume a 9th-grade pill, the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill. And no one in the Silver Wing Empire is capable of concocting such a pill. Even if someone is capable of making such a pill, the materials needed are very rare." Jiu Shen stated while tapping his fingers on the table.

"The second option is for me to apply acupuncture on your body. With your current realm, we need to do acupuncture once a week for three months. And each treatment will last for one to two hours. Sect Leader Lu, which one would you choose?" Jiu Shen asked calmly.

When Lu Sulan heard the first option, she frowned and she appeared to be in deep thought. She didn’t know anything about alchemy, but the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill that Jiu She mentioned should be real. But the difficulty of concocting such a pill was very high, and even the old masters from the Alchemy Hall would not be able to concoct it.

And when she heard the second option proposed by Jiu Shen, she involuntarily blushed. She then concealed her crimson-red face by making her heart calm down. "Lord Jiu Shen, the first option is doable but we have to find someone who is capable of concocting that pill. As for the second option... Ah-we can do it if we don’t have any other choice."

Jiu Shen turned a blind eye to her ever-changing expressions. His heart was as calm as a mirror. ’Why are the mortals so indecisive regarding these kinds of matters?’

"You don’t have to find someone else. I can concoct this pill for you. But we have to gather all the ingredients first because I don’t have the necessary ingredients on hand." Jiu Shen said.

"Yeah, I know it’s hard to find someone who can... What?! What did you say?! Did you just say that you can concoct a 9th-grade pill?!" Lu Sulan could no longer maintain her calm.

Someone who could refine a 9th-grade pill was at least a 9th-rank Alchemy Saint!

Meaning to say, their soul force had reached the 9th-rank which is equivalent to a 9th-rank Saint realm cultivator in terms of power. Of course, an Alchemy Saint’s physical body was way weaker than a 9th-rank Saint realm cultivator in terms of martial power. But an Alchemy Saint can attack using their soul force!

So when Jiu Shen said that he can refine a 9th-grade pill, she was scared senseless. As for the authenticity of his words, she didn’t doubt it in the slightest. How else did he know her conditions in one glance if he was not a 9th-rank Alchemy Saint?

Alchemists are also classified into nine realms: Alchemy Disciple, Alchemy Adept, Alchemy Master, Alchemy Grandmaster, Alchemy Ancestor, Alchemy King, Alchemy Emperor, Alchemy Sovereign, and Alchemy Saint.

For one to train in becoming an alchemist, they have to connect their spiritual nodes. But the process of doing so requires high willpower and pain tolerance since connecting spiritual nodes was very painful.

As for Jiu Shen being a 9th-rank Alchemy Saint, it was indeed true. In fact, he was not just an Alchemy Saint, but he didn’t boast his alchemy skills too much. His attainments in alchemy can only be considered as superficial in the Primordial God Realm er... trash to be exact. But in Nuar, he was more than qualified to call himself an Alchemy Saint.

"I can concoct this pill, but I don’t have the ingredients. Perhaps the Alchemy Hall had some of the ingredients in their storage..." Jiu Shen muttered after recalling the map that the system integrated into his brain. There was a branch of the Alchemy Hall in the Silver Wing Empire, and as a holy land for alchemists, they should have some of the ingredients needed for refining the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill.

Lu Sulan’s doubtful look was then replaced by a much more gentle gaze. This Jiu Shen might really be able to help her get rid of her illness. "Lord Jiu Shen, let’s dally no longer. Let’s go to the Alchemy Hall to check if they have the ingredients that you’ll need for refining the pill. As for your request about the Frozen Cloud Glacier, give me one moment. Excuse me, Lord Jiu Shen."

Like an excited little girl, Lu Sulan left the room in a hurry. When she came back, she was already holding a space ring. She then took out a huge block of an icy blue glacier which froze the air around them making the room’s temperature drop by several degrees. "Lord Jiu Shen, this is more than ten years worth of Frozen Cloud Glacier."

Jiu Shen calmly grabbed the block of Frozen Cloud Glacier before putting it inside his space earring. "Good. Do you mind if I stay here in your sect for the night? We can leave by tomorrow."

For the first time today, Lu Sulan smiled at Jiu Shen. "Of course, it’s not a problem, Lord Jiu Shen. I will arrange everything for you, please follow me."

Jiu Shen nodded his head expressionlessly.
