Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!

Who doesn’t know how to offer pleasantries?

Yet Li Cheng’s words left them unable to discern whether he was being flattering or genuine.

Dan Chi waved his hand dismissively, “We’ve heard that you produced one hundred thousand Divine Pills in a single session in the Xuankong Domain, and we are all very curious, so we came to learn!”

As he spoke, Dan Chi tossed over a storage ring, adding, “In accordance with the requests of the Mansion Venerable, we rounded up the numbers: one million for each grade from first to fourth-grade Healing Pills, and one hundred thousand for fifth-grade.”

The Pill Masters remained composed, but most of them harbored contempt internally, only holding back their comments because the Mansion Venerable was present.

Otherwise, they would have likely spewed insults by now.

Even the most skilled among them, Dan Chi and Dan Zui, could only refine at most one hundred first-grade Divine Pills at a time; any more and they would lose control over the compatibility between the Divine Medicines.

Therefore, they believed that the rumors were certainly false and that Li Cheng must have refined ten pills, but the rumor had exaggerated it to one hundred thousand.

All these Pill Masters were aware of how terrifying the number of one hundred thousand is, knowing it impossible for anyone to refine that many at once.

Li Cheng took the storage ring and with a wave of his hand, a million first-grade Healing Pills gushed out like a torrent, hovering above the small island.

Despite their inner thoughts, the crowd kept silent, so Li Cheng did not say more and prepared to begin directly.

Looking at the mountainous materials suspended above the island, Dan Chi couldn’t hold back, “You’re not planning to refine a million pills at the same time, are you? Why not take it… slowly?”

Although he was a Divine Venerable and a sixth-grade Divine Pill Master, he saw every Divine Medicine as exceedingly precious, how could he watch idly as Li Cheng wasted them so?

The materials for a million first-grade Healing Pills, how many fields and years would it take to cultivate them!

Li Cheng nodded slightly, “Do not worry, Elder!”

No sooner had his voice fallen, Li Cheng’s figure drifted upward, his hands waving as the mountain of medicinal ingredients circled around him.

Divine Sense surged out and in a blink, he had calculated the compatibility ratios of all the Divine Medicines, removing over ten thousand Blood Spirit Divine Grass plants, allowing them to fall onto the island.

The group of Pill Masters looked at each other in confusion, wondering what this meant.

Each material was proportioned just right, and now that over ten thousand Blood Spirit Divine Grass plants were missing, that surely spelled trouble!

But before they could speak further, a Law field suddenly emerged from within Li Cheng’s body, with thirty million rules of the Rule of Fire surging within it, and he began the refinement process.

“Domain alchemy, as if it’s something none of us could do,” someone muttered under their breath.

Li Cheng deliberately made his domain transparent to allow everyone to see the process, and as the Divine Fire surged, all the Divine Medicines were rapidly refined, leaving only their essences within mere breaths.

The next moment, like a torrential downpour, those essences swept through the domain, merging as they sped along, and within a dozen breaths, they had become a cascade-like rush.

Then, this rush turned into a tornado, flinging out strands of perfectly merged Divine Medicine essences, and in just another dozen breaths, the cascade had transformed into over ten million uniform strands of Divine Medicine essences.

Under Li Cheng’s control, these essences rapidly spun around, tumbling in an extremely orderly fashion within the domain.

In the midst of this tumbling, they solidified into plump Divine Pills!

Li Cheng retracted his domain and gracefully descended, saluting Blunt Empty Venerable with cupped hands, “Elder, I have not failed your expectations!”

Blunt Empty Venerable seemed somewhat dazed but soon regained his composure, exhaling a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, over ten million Divine Pills, like a dark cloud, drifted towards the Pill Masters.

Unbeknownst to them, the expressions of the more than two hundred Divine Pill Masters had frozen, their eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out of their heads.

As the dark cloud approached, Dan Chi and Dan Zui were the first to snap back to reality. The two exchanged a glance and then incredulously stared at the dark cloud.

“Twelve million first-grade Healing Pills, among them two million eight hundred thousand of King Grade, and the rest all of top quality!” Dan Chi scanned with his Divine Sense, tallying the quality of every Divine Pill.

“How is this possible?” The Pill Masters found their throats incredibly dry, breathing became difficult.

Dan Zui took a deep breath, swallowing hard, his eyes uneasy and uncertain as he turned towards Li Cheng. He wanted to speak but found he couldn’t even utter a sound. It was too astounding!

Li Cheng bowed to those around him and took out the materials for the second-grade Healing Pills, repeating the process and beginning to refine again.

In almost the same amount of time as before, another twelve million Divine Pills appeared.

Li Cheng ignored the Pill Masters and continued on to refine the third-grade Divine Pills.

The third-grade Divine Pills took a little more time than the first and second-grade, but it still took less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Next came the fourth-grade Divine Pills, which took a full cup of tea’s time to complete.

At this moment, forty-eight million Divine Pills floated above the crowd of Pill Masters, and even though the weakest among them were Divine Kings, they all felt short of breath.

But it wasn’t that the pressure of those divine pills was too overwhelming; rather, it was because they had been practicing alchemy all their lives, and when had they ever seen so many divine pills manifest in such a short period of an incense stick?

This pressure was brought by Li Cheng!

And Li Cheng had already taken out the materials for a fifth-level Healing Pill and was carefully examining them.

Seeing this, the group of Pill Masters finally breathed a sigh of relief!

“What a monster! Finally, something normal—he should now be refining them one batch at a time!” Dan Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, Li Cheng’s divine fire surged within his palm, turning that batch of materials into twelve fifth-level Healing Pills within a few breaths.

After completing the refinement, Li Cheng pondered.

“Those are fifth-level divine pills; even seniors Chi and Zui couldn’t refine two batches at once. He’s finally acting normal!”

“Yes, it was too frightening. Otherwise, he alone could steal the jobs of all the divine pill masters in Land Puppet Mansion.”

…

While everyone was whispering among themselves, Li Cheng took out all the remaining materials for the fifth-level divine pills and once again unfolded his domain.

The pill masters looked at each other in bemusement. What was happening?

They had thought he could only refine one batch at a time, but in the blink of an eye, he had started mass refining again?

Those were fifth-level divine pills, and he was only at the early stage of the Divine Monarch Realm. If he could refine them, that would be… inconceivable!

But sure enough, that astonishing reality materialized just after the time it took an incense stick to burn—Li Cheng had finished refining!

The quality was consistent as ever, with the lowest being top-notch!

Including both Dan Chi and Dan Zui, all divine pill masters dropped their jaws—refining fifth-level divine pills with a cultivation of the Divine Monarch Realm was remarkable enough, let alone doing it with such ease?

Crazy!

At this moment, all the divine pill masters felt like it wasn’t the world that had gone mad, but themselves!

“Alright, stop looking like you’ve never seen the world before. Take these Healing Pills and distribute them!”

The voice of Blunt Empty Venerable resonated.

The facial muscles of the pill masters twitched, as if Blunt Empty Venerable had seen such an impressive mastery of alchemy himself—it was unheard of, beyond imagination!

Blunt Empty Venerable was overjoyed. How many years had it been since he had taken over the position of Mansion Venerable and seen these self-important divine pill masters show such expressions.

Hmm, even though he was quite the same, at least he hadn’t shown it too much.

This time, would they still be arrogant?

Dan Chi took a deep breath, straightened his robes solemnly, and then bowed to Li Cheng, “Master Li truly deserves to be the Supreme Alchemy Dao; this old man admires you!”

Only then did the rest of the pill masters come to their senses, all of them solemnly straightening their clothes, fearing that a single wrinkle might desecrate the sight of the young man before them.

Once suitably attired, they all bowed in unison.

This scene…it felt familiar!

Li Cheng couldn’t help but recall the situation back then at Heavenly Mechanism Sect; the Pill Sect had shown a similar reaction.

Li Cheng clasped his fists in salute to everyone and smiled, “The seniors flatter me. I merely made use of the convenience granted by the domain; I dare not claim the title of Supreme Alchemy Dao!”

Deep emotion welled up in Dan Chi’s heart. Such terrifying mastery in alchemy, yet so humble—such humility was truly shaming!

“Venerable Mansion Head, I have a request!” Dan Chi composed himself and respectfully bowed to Blunt Empty Venerable.

Blunt Empty Venerable stood with his hands clasped behind his back, “You want to bring Li Cheng into Pill Hall?”

“Responding to the Venerable Mansion Head, yes, indeed. This old man wishes to relinquish the position of Hall Master and pass it to Supreme Li,” Dan Chi said respectfully.

Blunt Empty Venerable felt great pleasure in his heart!

But he refused without hesitation, “I cannot accept this request, as Li Cheng’s skills in artifact refining and array mastery are no less than his alchemy mastery. If I agreed to you, wouldn’t Artifact Hall and Array Hall demand the same?”

In reality, Blunt Empty Venerable was quite willing, but he knew that what Li Cheng currently wanted most was to improve his cultivation—how could he afford to waste time on this bunch of shameless pill masters?

Now, having thoroughly reprimanded this shameless lot using Li Cheng, he had achieved his objective and couldn’t delay Li Cheng further.
