Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 1151: Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill (2)

“Brother Chengxuan, just in time! We need to talk to you!”

Lan Yu and the others approached Jiang Chengxuan with delighted expressions. Seeing Jiang Chengxuan’s slightly puzzled look, Lan Yu pointed to Zhou Xuanyu beside him and explained:

“This is Zhou Xuanyu, Brother Zhou. He said he has an important matter to discuss with you. That’s why we brought him here.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded in understanding. In the Alchemy Guild, it wasn’t uncommon for people to seek him out after hearing his name. He was already used to it.

Moreover, Zhou Xuanyu had just helped Lan Yu and the others, likely out of respect for him. Given this connection, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t refuse.

“Brother Zhou, a pleasure to meet you. I am Jiang Chengxuan. How can I assist you?” Jiang Chengxuan turned to Zhou Xuanyu and straightforwardly asked.

Zhou Xuanyu beamed with joy and began praising Jiang Chengxuan. “I’ve long heard of Brother Chengxuan’s reputation. Meeting you today, you indeed live up to your name.”

Jiang Chengxuan, taken aback by the sudden enthusiasm, chuckled lightly and replied, “You’re too kind. I’m not worthy of such praise.”

Zhou Xuanyu shook his head and continued to praise Jiang Chengxuan, recounting the various feats he had heard about Jiang Chengxuan, trying to prove he wasn’t exaggerating.

This left Jiang Chengxuan feeling a bit awkward, so he shifted the conversation.

“May I ask, Brother Zhou, what exactly do you need from me?” Jiang Chengxuan inquired.

Zhou Xuanyu, realizing he had been digressing, laughed and said, “I’ve long admired you, Brother Jiang, and wanted to meet you. Besides that, I have a small favor to ask.”

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan nod, Zhou Xuanyu, overjoyed, continued, “I need your help to refine a pill. Would you be available?”

Jiang Chengxuan was curious. “Brother Zhou, aren’t you an alchemist yourself? Why would you need someone else to refine a pill?”

Zhou Xuanyu then explained, “I need to refine the Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill, a celestial pill. Have you heard of it?”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded in realization, understanding why Zhou Xuanyu, despite being an alchemist, sought his help. “The Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill? Could you tell us more about it?” Lan Yu and the others, unable to contain their curiosity, asked.

Zhou Xuanyu, seeing their interest, explained, “The Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill requires the fusion of nine types of celestial flames.

Only someone with exceptional fire control can succeed. I’m not skilled in controlling fire, so I sought Brother Jiang, knowing his expertise.”

Lan Yu and the others recalled Jiang Chengxuan’s impressive fire control skills during the Guild entrance test, nodding in approval of Zhou Xuanyu’s judgment.

After Zhou Xuanyu’s explanation, Jiang Chengxuan thought for a moment before responding, “I’ve never refined the Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill, but I believe I can meet its requirements.”

Zhou Xuanyu’s face lit up with joy, thanking Jiang Chengxuan profusely, “Thank you, Brother Jiang! I’ll never forget your kindness. I will repay you in the future!”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded, not planning to ask for any reward, viewing it as a favor instead. According to alchemist customs, Zhou Xuanyu would prepare three sets of materials. If successful, the leftover materials would be Jiang Chengxuan’s reward. Additionally, Zhou Xuanyu would owe Jiang Chengxuan a favor for future help.

“Let’s finalize the details and set a date for the pill refining,” Zhou Xuanyu said, satisfied.

“Until then, Brother Zhou,” Jiang Chengxuan replied.

With that, Zhou Xuanyu left with a contented expression, and Jiang Chengxuan and the others, having no reason to stay, also parted ways and returned to their abodes.

…

Away from the bustling crowd, Jiang Chengxuan silently reviewed his gains from the exchange conference.

Although there were no extraordinary treasures, he had successfully converted most of his pills into cultivation resources, fulfilling one of his primary objectives.

During his time with the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild and the Thousand Stars Immortal Domain Alchemy Guild, Jiang Chengxuan had accumulated many resources.

He planned to go into seclusion soon to improve his somewhat stagnant cultivation level. However, this would have to wait until after he fulfilled Zhou Xuanyu’s pill-refining request.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan, under the cool night breeze, took out a delicate jade bottle, opened it, and poured out a pill. It emanated a mystical life aura, surrounded by hazy images of celestial mountains and seas—an obvious sign of the Celestial Dew Pill.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan swallowed the pill and channeled his immortal power. Instantly, the pill’s energy began to spread, growing like an invisible tree within him. From this source, a boundless mystical force flowed through his body.

The Celestial Dew Pill’s energy was incredibly gentle, enhancing his immortal power significantly.

This improvement, though, was more about efficiency in absorbing immortal energy, a state that could last for centuries or even millennia. Such was the terrifying power of celestial pills!

“Ahh,” Jiang Chengxuan exhaled comfortably after fully absorbing the pill’s energy. This was his first time taking a celestial pill, and he was extremely satisfied with its effects.

Initially, he intended to trade the Celestial Dew Pill for other resources, but since that hadn’t worked out at the exchange conference, he decided to consume it now to prepare for his upcoming seclusion and cultivation breakthrough.
