C140 Pill garden
The outer court disciples, especially the new students, were extremely few in number to have reached Spiritual Martial Stage, so naturally, the ones who signed up were very few. Who didn't know that one had to reach the Spiritual Martial Stage to be able to grasp soul force?
The minimum requirement was success. Naturally, very few people signed up for these two supplementary trainings. No one was a fool.
Once a few years have passed, nothing can be achieved, time cannot make up for it.
To a martial practitioner, time was incomparably precious. If you couldn't break through within a certain period of time, then your lifespan would also decrease accordingly.
As one's lifespan decreases, one's physical body's ability would be at its lowest point. Breaking through would also be extremely difficult, let alone peaking at the peak.
All warriors would diligently train when their condition was good, because the heavens didn't give them that many opportunities.
On the path of martial arts, I will cheat and kill myself, with every step I take, I will fight against all the heroes, be at the same level as heaven and earth. Chu Chen was extremely strict in his actions, and it was also because of this that his life was not as important as hers.
Fang Qu and Pang Shan bid their farewell and rushed to the cultivation support they had planned, while Chu Chen headed straight for the pill refining area.
His actions immediately attracted the attention of others. Now, in the outer court, when the name Chu Chen was mentioned, everyone knew of it.
First day of the Training Tower, he fought with the older students, seized the rights to cultivate on the third floor, and even defeated Han Feng in battle. In addition, he also had to duel with not long after.
At this moment, the crowd wanted to see what kind of support he was going to offer, but instead, they were astonished. The direction he was heading in was the direction he was heading towards, to concoct pills.
"He, according to what I know, had not broken through his Spiritual Martial Stage when he defeated Han Feng. If he chose to refine pills, where would he get his soul force?" The crowd looked at him in astonishment. This Chu Chen was truly a weirdo, every single thing he did was different from the others.
"You want to learn pill forging?" The person in charge of registering was a young man. However, his attire was extremely shabby and he had a slovenly appearance. However, no one looked down on the older students of the outer courtyard.
This guy's name is You Fang, nicknamed the little pill refiner, he's a complete alchemist maniac, and even forgot about his own cultivation. Otherwise, he would have entered the inner court long ago, which makes him a wonder, but let me warn you guys first, don't provoke this guy in the future. The other people in charge of the training area all warned the newcomers. They seemed to be a bit afraid of this wandering land.
"Yes, I want to learn alchemy." Chu Chen nodded.
"I've heard that your cultivation is very high, but we need soul force to refine pills. You haven't reached the Spiritual Martial Stage yet, so you can't join us." There was no flattery in his tone, nor was there any contempt. In his eyes, it was as if he had no interest in anything. Only when it came to alchemy, would there be a trace of excitement in his eyes.
To only be able to join after requiring Spiritual Martial Stage, this condition was indeed high, no wonder it was so unpopular. However, Chu Chen had long been prepared for this, he released his aura slightly, and purposely mixed it with his soul force.
"I should be able to join now, right?" After which, he looked at the other party with a smile.
You Fang felt it and could not help but be shocked. "Spiritual Martial Stage?" He looked at Chu Chen with astonishment. It seemed that defeating Han Feng yesterday was only the ninth level of Bloody Martial Stage, which meant that this guy only used one night to break through to the Spiritual Martial Stage? What a freak.
However, he didn't say anything. Soon, the perplexity returned to his eyes. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that this fellow was pretending to be depressed.
"Fill in the information and you can join our Pill Garden. In the future, all you need to do is come every day at regular times to learn about refining pills." You Fang said this calmly, like a numb puppet, without any emotion at all.
"Yes." Chu Chen nodded, thinking that this guy was even weirder than him, this kind of person, was also not interested in chatting with him.
Just like this, Chu Chen chose to support his cultivation in the pellet under the shock of the outer court disciples.
Fang Qu and Pang Shan had also successfully joined the array and were refining.
On the second day, Chu Chen arrived at the Pill Garden according to the appointed time. This was a stand-alone place located in the outer courtyard.
As for the other refining, formations, techniques, and the like, they all had their own areas.
The Meteorite Academy took up a huge amount of space and was located in the valley. This valley was several thousand acres large and was a sacred ground for martial arts cultivation that was cut off from the rest of the world.
In the entire Pill Garden, there were only a few tens of disciples who were learning how to refine pills. Compared to the few hundred people in the Artifact Garden, there were only a pitiful few of them, and even in the Artifact Garden, there were more than a hundred of them who were sitting quietly in the classroom. Chu Chen's arrival attracted the attention of the crowd and defeated Han Feng, causing them to recognize him.
"Am I that scary?" Chu Chen rubbed his nose, then sat down helplessly. He took a look at the inside of the classroom, where men and women were mixed, both new and older. As for the older students, they no longer needed to learn basic knowledge, they could try to concoct pills by themselves in the pill cultivating room.
Chu Chen speculated that his talent was probably the highest as well. Otherwise, how could he have been entrusted with such a heavy task by an elder?
Very soon, a silver-haired old man appeared on the podium. He wore very simple clothing, and if not for his body's rippling aura, it would not have been noticeable at all.
This is the Meteorite Academy Elder, the expert in charge of teaching alchemy.
"A thousand years ago, at Holy Domain, there were two people whose cultivation had reached the peak of the martial way. In a battle of life and death, the battle was extremely intense, and only caused the mountains to crack, lasting for three days and five nights, the victor was not decided. In the end, one of them used a peerless pill, causing his cultivation to increase for a short period of time, and relying on this weak advantage, he killed his opponent in the end."
The silver-haired old man did not directly introduce himself. Instead, he suddenly said these words and swept his gaze across everyone's faces.
"All these are just to show that the pill is powerful. Since they chose to join, they are naturally clear about it. These words are obviously too long-winded." Many disciples sneered in their hearts.
The silver-haired old man did not care about the looks on everyone's face, and continued: "500 years ago, in an empire battlefield in South Spirit Domain, a warrior suddenly appeared and used a soul force technique. In a blink of an eye, 8000 soldiers died, and their blood dyed the ground into a river."
"Seventy years ago, there was a peak-level warrior in the Eastern Spirit Region who was unable to take a step forward. In the end, he refined a pill and broke through his shackles, soaring to the skies." After finishing his piece, the silver-haired old man looked at the crowd and slowly said, "Do you know what I mean?"
A disciple replied: "What Elder said is to show us the importance of pill. He warned us to study hard and strive to achieve success one day." After the disciple finished speaking, he confidently smiled. He thought that he had understood everything he had said.
The rest of the disciples also nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, the silver-haired old man shook his head. He did not say anything bad, but he did not say anything good either. However, shaking his head showed that he was not too satisfied with his disciple's explanation.
Right at this moment, his eyes looked towards a certain direction. There, he saw that it was Chu Chen and his face revealed a pondering expression.
"Disciple, please explain." The silver-haired old man suddenly shouted. He was actually quite interested. This disciple had a contemplative look on his face. Would he be able to understand the meaning behind his words?
This explanation was given to the new disciples once a year, but none of them had truly understood it. In recent years, the only person who had ever done so was Yu Fang. When it came down to You Fang, the silver-haired old man sighed.
This child was suitable for pill concocting, but his inner demons were too heavy and his nature was too deep.
The other disciples all looked at Chu Chen, as if they did not expect him to answer by name, and wanted to see what kind of answer he would give them.
