Chapter 376: Pill Sage Trial

Chapter 374 - Pill Sage Trial

Wang Wei frowned after hearing his master's words, faking a look of confusion. Of course, he knew what the Pill Sage Trial was, after all, he did extensive research on the Origin Dao Pill Sect.

However, he did not know how it could help him acquire the Origin Pill Flame Sutra. This should one of the secrets that only the sect master or a few people could know.

After seeing his disciple's confused face, Ye Lao explained:

"May different sects and Emperor Lineages have different ways of choosing a Heaven Chosen to cultivated in each generation. When it comes to our Origin Pill Dao Sect, the Pill Sage Trial is one of them."

"Master, I do not think that becoming the sect's Heaven Chosen will have any effect on our situation."

"Normally, you would be correct. However, our sect's trial is different. Above the Heaven Chosen, in this trial, there is a level referred to as Ancestor's Blessing.

"As long as you can acquire this grade in the trial, according to our ancestor's rules, all the resources of the sect will available to you without hesitation."

"So simple?"

"Simple? Boy, you do not know anything. Since the sect's inception, the number of people who got that grade can be counted on one hand."

"What about Fu Caiyun? Did he get an Ancestor Blessing?"

"Even he failed," replied Ye Lao with a sigh. With Fu Caiyun's talent, many people thought that he would succeed but he did not. At that time, Ye Lao was both relieved and disappointed at the same time.

"What exactly is this Ancestral Blessing you talk about?" asked Wang Wei in confusion. He had never heard of this, so, he wanted to gather as much information as possible.

"The so-called Ancestral Blessing has to do with our founder, the Danyuan Emperor, and the current predicament of professionals in this world."

Wang Wei remained silent as he listened intently.

"Alchemist is in a very hard predicament in this world. When it comes to proving the Dao and becoming Emperor, Alchemists are at a disadvantage as the Heaven Will requires strength to acquire.

"Most Alchemists focus their lives on cultivating their Pill Refining Level and are usually very weak in terms of combat. And every Alchemist that becomes Emperor must be excellent in both Pill Refinement and have high combat value.

"The majority of cultivators have to spend their entire lives increasing their combat power, how could they have time to raise their Alchemy Level to a truly profound level that can bear the Heaven Will?"

Wang Wei was silent as he already realized the unfairness of the situation to Alchemists. When it comes to other professions like Weapon Refining, Talisman Making, and Array Master, they usually have some combat power in the later stage of cultivation–especially Talisman Makers and Array Masters.

Nevertheless, it does not change the fact that they are at a disadvantage when it comes to the Battle of Heaven Will. As a result of the current situation, all the Great Emperors who proved the Dao through Alchemy are usually extremely talented geniuses or extremely lucky individuals.

"While traveling to other World Communities, the Danyuan Emperor once discovered a Heaven Will World called Myriad Pill World. In this world, only Pill Refiners can become Great Emperors."

Wang Wei's eyes lit up after hearing this. In the Endless Void, anything is possible. The Laws of Heaven and Earth of each Heaven Will World is different, leading to different cultivation system, different Dao, philosophies, ideas, and civilization.

One day, he will experience all of them to broaden his vision.

"Master, what about other professions? Can they also become Great Emperors too?"

"All the other professions are used to develop Alchemy. In this world, most Alchemists will dabble in other professions to find inspiration on how to develop their Alchemy. And no, other professions cannot become Emperor."

"Then, how do they compete for the Heaven Will?"

"During the Heaven Will Battle, alchemists will simply compete on their skills. The person who has a better pill refinement method will become Emperor.

"However, despite how simple things seem, the competition is not."

Ye Lao momentarily paused with a look of yearning on his face.

"According to description, in this world, Alchemy is developed beyond your imagination. Countless techniques, ideas, and methods of Alchemy are invented every day.

"The Alchemists in this world is all about innovation, surpassing the predecessors. So, each generation, new ideas or ways of thinking in the Dao of Alchemy is created."

"This sounds like the Paradise and the Hell for Alchemists," replied Wang Wei.

"Indeed."

In this kind of world, only the truly talented Alchemist can thrive while the others will become foils to others, forever bound by the shackles called "mediocrity".

In the Myriad Emperor Word, all Alchemists have some level of status–no matter how low they are. That is mainly because the ratio of Alchemists and cultivators is so low that they are unique.

However, in a world where almost everybody is an Alchemists, only the truly elite can shine, only they can have respected status, wealth, and power.

"Master, what does this have to do with the Pill Sage Trial?"

"After traveling to that world, our founder established the Pill Sage Trial and the Ancestral Blessing Level."

"You mean…"

"Yes. To acquire the Ancestral Blessing Grade, you have to innovate. Whether it is a brand new Alchemy concept, techniques, refining process, or even philosophy. As long as it is something new and original, the Will of the Ancestors in the trial will judge this innovation and decide whether you can get their blessing.

"If you succeed, you will be the default Sect Master of the sect, gaining access to all the resources–including the Origin Pill Flame Scripture."

Wang Wei frowned while in deep thought. This is harder than it sounds. He could guess the reason that the Danyuan Emperor created this level of this trial. However, unlike the people of the Myriad Pill World that are used to innovation, the majority of people in this world are very conservative.

They take the words of the ancestors, of the sages of the past, as doctrines that must be followed. And when people actually try to innovate, they are criticized for being unorthodox and even killed.

A perfect example of that is how the Formation Ancestor killed his junior brother for creating a new path for the Dao of Formation.

Of course, Wang Wei does not have such problems. Not to mention that his mind is not shackled by the achievements and ideologies of the people who came before him, he is still a transmigrator who has access to a completely different civilization.

In his mind, there are many ideas on how to innovate Alchemy. However, there is still the issue of turning these ideas into reality; he needs time and more information.

"Master, do you have any information on the people who received the Ancestral Blessing?"

Ye Lao nodded his head before entering one of the rooms in his cave. A few minutes later, he returned with two jade talismans. In one of them, there was information about the previous people who received the blessing.

Meanwhile, in the other, there was a recording.

With intrigue, he looked at the recording. He saw a woman refining a pill. Based on the materials and runes that were engraved, Wang Wei knew that it was a Saint Grade Enlightening Pill.

The process was standard, and the technique she used was sublime. However, there was nothing new or innovative. Or so he thought.

After she was done, 14 pills were floating inside her cauldron, all perfect quality. Then, she arranged 13 of the pills in different locations with the last one at the center.

A small formation was created by the 13 pills. The Pill formation allowed the other pills to transfer their medicinal materials and strength to the one in the middle, elevating it to a Quasi-Supreme Pill.

"Ingenious," suddenly muttered Wang Wei,

"Indeed. At that time, she had just invented this technique so it was not perfect. Later that year, she further refined this method and was able to create a real Supreme Tier Pill.

"At that time, she was also in the Divine Body Realm like you."

"Master, who is she? Such a genius should not be unknown, right?"

"She's the Illusory Pill Emperor."

"That makes sense."

Based on the description of the [Illusory Pill Canon], it is obvious that she took inspiration from Array Masters and Talisman Makers. In the later stages, talented people in these professions can set up instant formations or instant talismans.

Most like, the Illusory Pill Emperor had the idea of instant pills so she studies these other professions intensively for inspiration. And even succeeded.

"So, little Cheng, what do you think? Can you pass the trial and receive the Ancestor Blessing?"

Wang Wei pondered for a moment. He was not worried that he could not pass the trial. What he was worried about was whether the Will of any of the sect's Great Emperor would manifest itself if he succeeded.

After his encounter with the Flame Emperor, he knew that his method was ineffective. So, after pondering for a while, he decided to take the risk.

"Master, give me some time to prepare and there should be no problem."
