796: Chapter 796: Limit, Backlash_1 796: Chapter 796: Limit, Backlash_1 “Do you know the alchemy prescription for the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill?” Chen ngng asked.
Su Chengyu nodded and said: “However, let be upfront, the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill is not easy to refine, and I am not entirely confident about it.
There is a high chance of failure.
If I fail, all the dicinal herbs will be obliterated, and Brother Sha’s father will inevitably die.
Brother Sha, please think it through.”
“There’s no need for consideration, Brother Su, I trust you.
Moreover, we have no other options right now.”
Sha Tianyang is a decisive man and imdiately made his decision.
Although Sha Tianxiang didn’t wholly trust Su Chengyu like her brother did, as Sha Tianyang said, they were in a life-threatening situation with no alternatives.
They had to let Su Chengyu give it a try.
Chen ngng’s spiritual realm was high, but he never cultivated any alchemy skills or refined any pills before; a high spiritual realm alone was not sufficient.
“Arrange a quiet room for and bring all the dicinal herbs.
I will start refining the pills imdiately.”
Sha Tianyang arranged a quiet room for Su Chengyu and delivered all the herbs required to refine the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill.
In the quiet room, Su Chengyu only kept Yu Yanshu as his assistant.
Even Chen ngng had to wait outside.
Su Chengyu first consud two Heavenly Pills to restore himself to peak condition.
Then, he flicked his finger in mid-air, causing a fla to rise under the Pill Furnace.
With a wave of his right hand, the first herb soared into the Alchemy Furnace for purification.
Purifying the dicinal power of the spiritual essence in the first step is the easiest.
As long as the heat is controlled properly, each herb requires different amounts of heat to purify the spiritual essence.
This requires a strong ability to control the fire and constant monitoring of the changes in the herb with Divine Sense.
Alchemy is a kind of cultivation and is the most ntally and magically draining.
While teaching Yu Yanshu alchemy, Su Chengyu was simultaneously refining the pill and explaining the process to Yu Yanshu, thus splitting his attention three ways.
Yu Yanshu was exceptionally diligent in her learning and was completely focused.
“Yan’er, jade vial.”
The first herb quickly beca a pill residue, purifying a thumb-sized droplet of spiritual essence that was as clear as water.
Yu Yanshu imdiately brought a dicine vial and stored the droplet of spiritual essence inside.
“The second herb is Purple Dragon Begonia.
This herb needs to be heated alternately with three parts gentle fire and six parts fierce fire to purify the dicinal power.
The heat must be precise; if there is a mistake, the herb will be ruined.”
Su Chengyu waved his right hand, and the Purple Dragon Begonia flew into the Alchemy Furnace.
The flas in the furnace flickered and changed, not allowing any margin for error.
Yu Yanshu carefully took notes.
Su Chengyu worked quickly, continuously throwing herbs into the Alchemy Furnace for purification.
After all twelve kinds of herbs were completely purified, the next step is the truly challenging part of pill-refining, which also highlights the importance of the alchemy prescription.
Refining pills is a painstaking process.
The dicinal powers will conflict with each other, so you must strictly follow the order recorded in the alchemy prescription when adding the purified dicinal powers.
If the order is wrong, the dicinal powers might clash, leading to failure.
Therefore, even if you know the required herbs for pill-refining, without the alchemy prescription, you can’t refine the pill.
The most challenging part of refining the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill is that not all of the herbs are added to the mixture at once.
So of them must be added in two unequal portions.
The Blood Wind Vine and Mu Qing Dai need to be added three tis, in different sequences each ti.
The quantity must be precise; neither too much nor too little suffices.
Without ample experience in alchemy, this step is already very challenging and extrely prone to errors.
If your realm is not high enough, your mana and divine sense may falter, leading to mistakes.
After completing the second step of alchemy rging, there is the third step of pill coagulation.
This step involves perfectly rging all herbs and coagulating them into a pill.
The process of pill coagulation also requires careful control of temperature, alternating between gentle and fierce fire.
When Su Chengyu ntioned that he was not very confident, he was being truthful; the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill is indeed challenging to refine.
Dusk had fallen over the Sha Family Villa.
Sha Tianyang and his sister kept vigil by Sha Zhaohong’s bed, restless and anxious.
Sha Tianyang arranged for the treatnt of the corpses of Lu Chong and his group.
There were no disturbances from the pill refining room, and Sha Tianxiang waited anxiously, her heart filled with anticipation.
She wished Su Chengyu would appear before her right away and announce that the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill has been successfully refined.
Sha Zhaohong’s condition was deteriorating.
The dicinal power of Chen ngng’s Little Revival Pill was gradually losing effect.
He coughed up blood again, and his face was sallow and haggard like soone at death’s door.
“Dad…” Sha Tianxiang was so worried that tears stread down her face; she did not know what to do.
“Brother, what should we do?
Has the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill been refined yet?
Dad can’t hold on anymore.”
Sha Tianyang was also worried, but he knew that panicking was useless now.
Suppressing his own anxiety, he said, “Don’t rush.
I trust Brother Su.”
“Master Chen, do you have any more pills?
Can you give my dad another one to consu?” Sha Tianxiang pleaded pitifully.
“I only have one Little Revival Pill left.
Don’t worry.
As long as I’m here, your father won’t die.
I can keep him going until the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill is refined.”
Chen ngng ca forward, perford a few hand seals on Sha Zhaohong and infused a strand of mana.
However, the effect was minimal.
It could only delay the deterioration of his injury temporarily.
The injury from the Martial Way Secret Treasure could not be healed by mana.
At the very last mont, Chen ngng still had one final special skill.
His words held the power of spells which could keep Sha Zhaohong alive for a while longer.
So may ask, considering the power of “words hold the power of spells”, couldn’t Chen ngng heal Sha Zhaohong by simply uttering a sentence?
Wouldn’t that make the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill unnecessary?
“Words hold the power of spells” indeed holds imnse power.
It is a divine spell that forcefully alters the rules.
The Heavenly Dao rules everything and is perfectly balanced.
There is a balance between loses and gains, causes and effects.
Although “Words hold the power of spells” can change the rules, the caster will in return be hit with backlash.
The greater the altered rules, the stronger the backlash.
Furthermore, the rule of life and death is one of the most significant rules in the universe.
Even immortals cannot reverse the law of life and death.
“Words hold the power of spells” also cannot change this.
If Chen ngng tried to use “words hold the power of spells” to reverse life and death, he would imdiately die from the backlash of the rules.
“Words hold the power of spells” is not a freely usable spell for Chen ngng.
If it is used on soone of a much higher realm than him, he will die from the imdiate backlash.
The amount of rule changes that he can make first depends on his realm.
It is secondly dependent on the size of the rule being altered.
For instance, the rules of life and death, fate, and ti are not rules that “words hold the power of spells” can easily change.
Everyti the divine spell “words hold the power of spells” is used, regardless of the size of the rule being changed, there is a backlash.
Chen ngng has a pure heart and practices morally upright Dao, cultivating the Dao of Harmony.
He gathers a righteous energy in his chest.
Hence, Chen ngng does not kill or lie casually.
This is part of his Dao.
If he were to misuse “words hold the power of spells” to commit a treacherous act, his righteous energy would dissipate and backlash would occur.
Although Lu Chong’s realm is much higher than his, he was able to use “words hold the power of spells” to dissolve Lu Chong’s sword energy.
He should have suffered a significant backlash, but he accumulated a lot of righteous energy over the years which nullified the backlash.
However, if he were to use “words hold the power of spells” to extend Sha Zhaohong’s life, he did not know if the Tianxiang righteous energy in his chest could withstand the backlash.
Regardless, he had to try his hardest.
