Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-309

Wang Wei closed his eyes to witness his Innate Talent brewing. Countless runes that he could not understand appeared inside his Divine Sea. An hour later, they stopped and formed a complete picture. Then, information about the talent was sent inside his mind.

"Whew, luckily, this talent is a Growth one. With my ability, I should be able to slowly cultivate it to a high level."

Immediately after healing his injuries, he decided to test out his talent. So, he went to his alchemy room to concoct a pill. However, as soon as he got there, he received an invitation from a Communication Talisman.

After activating it, he bowed slightly: "Disciple has seen the master."

"Little Fifth, how is your injury?"

"Thanks to the pill granted by the Master, my injuries are completely healed."

"That's good. I've seen your tribulation. Having accomplished an 11 color Flame is not bad."

"Disciple is ashamed. If not for the recent fortunate encounter, I probably would not have such a result."

'Is this guy already starting to doubt me? This should not be.' thought Wang Wei to himself as he made his face look like he was sorry for disappointing his master.

"There is no need to be ashamed. After all, you are not a Heaven Chosen that will compete for the Heaven Will. With an 11 color Flame, you can still break through the Supreme Realm and enjoy a million years of lifespan."

"Disciple will do his best not to disappoint the master."

Ye Lao nodded, said a few comforting words before disconnecting the communication. After that, he pondered for a few moments, then his eyes suddenly turned golden red.

He looked in the direction that Wang Wei's cave was, and he was slightly surprised by what he saw.

He saw an orange dragon with a quarter of its body already turned yellow. Additionally, upon further focusing, he could see that a small part of the dragon's tail was turning golden.

Another thing that he noticed was that the dragon who was usually curled up was now fully displaying its body as it circled the cave.

'It seems that little fifth's Qi Luck has started to awaken.'

Ye Lao was not surprised by this discovery as it was quite a common phenomenon. Some people are not born as geniuses or Heaven Chosens with powerful Qi Luck.

Instead, they have to wait after a certain time or even in their life before their Qi Luck awakens and they can slowly increase their fortune. Of course, unlike innate Heaven Chosens, these people have to fight and suffer more for their destiny and fortune.

After noticing the change in Lou Cheng's Qi Luck, Ye Lao waved his hand and an invisible white light rushed from his cave and hit Wang Wei's Qi Luck. Immediately after that, it turned into its original orange color.

After doing that, he continued to refine his pill.

Meanwhile, back in his cave, he discovered that someone was spying on his luck, but he pretended not to know anything. After the white light hit his Qi Luck Dragon, he was momentarily surprised, then smiled:

'This Ye Lao is not a bad master. He even hid his disciple's Qi Luck to protect him from others.'

He then went back to his business as he was prepared to refine pills. The previous owner of this body was a low-level Tier 2 Alchemist, meaning that the highest level of pills he could refine were Low-Grade Earth Pills which are used by Supernatural Realm cultivators.

And from his memories, Wang Wei knew that the success rate of the refinement was quite low–especially since Lou Cheng did not have Divine Sense to help during the process.

Honestly, this guy was very lucky to pass the assessment to become a Tier 2 Alchemist. He was lucky to succeed in his 4th attempt out of five.

Wang Wei had to shake his head when he saw that memory; he wondered how could the Alchemy Association be so lax to just give this guy such a rank after refining one pill.

Of course, he also guessed that the Alchemy Association was not lax, but took into account Lou Cheng's master and bent the rules and gave him the rank.

After taking out his cauldron and the herbs needed for the refinement, Wang Wei began. He did not immediately refine an Earth Grade Pill but started with the lowest Profound Grade Pill.

Before infiltrating this sect, he also minored in Pill Dao and had some attainment on Alchemy. Unfortunately, even since Yan Liling joined the team, he has been a little negligent in his Alchemy training.

As such, he decided to start over and review the things he previously learned.

"A 500 years Ginseng, Root of a Blood Lotus, Red dates, and fresh blood drained from a Tiger Demon Heart."

As Wang Wei looked at these ingredients, he prepared to place them inside the cauldron to begin the process of refinement. Immediately, his talent activated.

He cut off a few centimeters of the Blood Lotus Root; the cut was extremely precise. Then, he also shaved off a few pieces from the red dates. As for the demonic blood, he measured the quantity down to the milliliters.

"So, that's why this ability is called Precision. With it, I can use the perfect quantity and ratio when using any herbs."

One thing that Wang Wei has always complained about Alchemy in this world was the issue of ratio. There was no standard for the entire world, so most pill formulas were solely based on the Alchemist who created them.

Some Alchemists created their own system of measurements, while others used vague descriptions like "a pinch" or " a handful" on their formula. Some of them even straight out asked people to feel the ratio that they felt was appropriate.

As a result of this, Alchemy relies greatly on talent, trial and error, and resources. So, when he was young, he created a system of measurement for all the Alchemists in the sect to use.

His goal in doing so was to lower the talent entry for Alchemy, thus cultivating more lower-level Alchemists for the sect. Unfortunately, back then, many of the Alchemists in the Alchemy Hall disagreed with his approach.

These pedantic old men who had their nose up their arse did not care for his status as they believed he was committing blasphemy against such a sacred profession. Fortunately, his father saw the advantage of this system and quickly implemented it.

A few hundred years later, this pedantic old man saw the benefit of this system and did not dare say anything anymore. Well, at least in public they won't.

After placing the herbs inside the cauldron, a red flame appeared in his hand and he began to melt the herbs. His control of flame has to be exact otherwise the herbs will be destroyed.

With his Divine Sense, he could see everything happening inside the cauldron, and it became easier to control the flame. Once the herbs were melted, he began the process of removing impurities.

Heaven and Earth were both fair and balanced. As such, nothing was truly perfect. Everything and everyone has impurities inside their bodies, and that also goes for medicinal herbs. Even the ones that have been baptized by Spiritual Qi for millions of years.

Wang Wei controlled the Flame to burn the impurities inside all these herbs. With how powerful his soul is, he quickly reached the limit of the number of impurities that he could burn off, then he proceeded to the next step.

The herbs were then mixed up together. What Wang Wei was refining was the Blood Qi Pill that could increase the blood qi of cultivators in the Body Refining Realm and increase their cultivation.

Of all the herbs he used, all of them served as a way to increase qi and blood–except for the Red Dates. This herb was used to blend all the other medicinal energy into one.

Once the process ended, 9 red pills appeared inside the cauldron. Then, Wang Wei proceeded to the final step: divine runes. Using his spiritual strength, he inscribed three runes on the first pill.

One rune was used to excite the blood energy in the pill, making it more active and increasing its potential. One rune was used to contain the energy and slowly release it instead of doing so altogether at once.

As for the final rune, it was used to help with the absorption process. Each person's body is different so they can only absorb a certain amount of medicinal energy. However, the final runes would increase the absorption rate by at least 30% for ordinary people with an ordinary talent.

After refining the first pill, he continued for the others. However, he did not use the same set of runes. On the second pill, he used two of the runes that excite the blood energy and one that contains it. That way, the amount of energy in that pill drastically increases. At the same time, it became even more difficult to absorb.

On the third pill, he did not use runes to contain the energy or help with absorption; for the 3 runes, he only used the one that increased energy and potential. By doing so, Wang Wei changed the pill from being a Blood Qi Pill to a Berserk Pill.

After swallowing it, a person will not increase their cultivation, instead, their strength will increase drastically for a short time. Of course, at the cost of damage to their bodies.
