Chapter 2197 Sky ofLinglong

It was a peaceful journey to the Great Displacement Teleportation Formation, so there was no G.o.d King to deliver dinner to Little Chick and provide him with free weapons and pills.

To be honest, Zhang Xuan was a little disappointed by that.

Roughly an hour later, he finally arrived at Linglong Royal City.

Sky of Linglong, whose name was derived from the phrase ‘Linglong Heart of Seven Apertures[l]’, stood at the southwest of the Firmament, and its land was shaped like a seven-sided polygon. Its monarch, Fairy Linglong, was a female G.o.d Monarch.

Fairy Linglong was reputed to have a ravis.h.i.+ng appearance that was unrivaled. Her cultivation had also reached a terrifying level, not paling in comparison with the powerful Cloud Dragon Monarch or Deathless Monarch at all.

The two Conferred G.o.d Kings serving under her, Shangguan Yunwan and Baiye Qinghong, were known to be gorgeous beauties as well. Rumor had it that there were many Conferred G.o.d Kings and G.o.d Kings who had expressed their fancy toward those two, only to be rejected.

Unexpectedly, the mature-looking Fu Jiangchen was a loyal fan of those two as well, and they were the true reason he had chosen to settle down in the Sky of Linglong. After all, with his top-notch skills as an apothecary, he would fare well no matter where he went.

A fallen flower parts from the tree of its own volition, only to be swept away by the heartless river.

Just like their G.o.d Monarch, these two Conferred G.o.d Kings viewed the courts.h.i.+p of any men with nonchalance. As such, they had never gotten a companion over the years, and there was absolutely no history of them even getting close to any men.

Zhang Xuan knew that he only had half a day and no time to waste, so he quickly entered Linglong Royal City and sent a message to Fu Jiangchen. It did not take him long to receive a response.

He waited on the spot for a while, and soon, he saw the number one apothecary of the Firmament flying right in his direction.

“My friend, Zhang Xuan! I didn’t expect you to visit me so soon!” Fu Jiangchen stroked his beard with a smile.

Before they parted at Drifting Specter Royal City, they had exchanged their contact information, and Zhang Xuan had promised to drop by when he had some time on hand. It was just that Fu Jiangchen did not expect to reunite with the young man so quickly.

Fu Jiangchen had been looking into the Breakthrough Pill over the last few days, and the more he examined the Breakthrough Pill, the more impressed he was by its effects.

His pill forging skills was definitely top in the Firmament, but even so, he was unable to figure out the pill formula of the Breakthrough Pill. No matter how he looked at it, it appeared to be completely identical to a middle-tier G.o.d Essence Pill.

In fact, there was even a period of time when he wondered if Zhang Xuan had given him the wrong pill.

Yet, when he tried out the effectiveness of the pill, it was indeed able to repair a cultivator’s internal traumas and help them overcome the bottleneck of their cultivation.

In the end, he could only conclude that the young man’s mastery of pill forging was far beyond his.

It was also due to this that he felt particularly excited to see the young man once more.

“To be frank with you, I came here because I have a request of you.” Zhang Xuan clasped his fist as he spoke.

“Oh?” Fu Jiangchen was slightly surprised. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. I would be glad to help you with any trouble you are facing!”

“Allow me to thank you in advance, Brother Fu!”

Since the other party addressed him as a friend, he would appear to be too formal if he continued addressing the other party as ‘Apothecary Fu*.

Switching over to zhenqi telepathy, he said, “To be honest, I need you to help me forge a pill.”

“Forge a pill?” Fu Jiangchen was a little surprised to see Zhang Xuan acting so cautiously.

A moment later, a thought struck him, and he nodded comprehendingly as he replied via telepathy as well. “Your pill forging skills are far beyond mine. If you need my help… are you intending to forge a G.o.d King realm pill?”

As someone who was able to forge something as incredible as the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill, it went without saying that the other party’s comprehension of pill forging far exceeded his.

Yet, the other party had travelled so far to ask him for such a favor. That likely meant that the pill he needed to forge was beyond his current capability.

“Yes, that’s indeed the case,” Zhang Xuan replied frankly.

In strict terms, the G.o.d King Breakthrough Pill forged from the Gra.s.s of G.o.d King was unlikely to reach the level of a real G.o.d King realm pill. Nevertheless, its value would not pale in comparison to any G.o.d King realm pill.

“Come, let’s head to my manor first before discussing the details!”

Knowing that such a pill would surely draw unwanted attention to them, Fu Jiangchen embraced Zhang Xuan with his zhenqi, and the two of them swiftly flew toward his manor.

Fu Jiangchen, known as the top apothecary of the Firmament, had an exceptionally high standing in the Sky of Linglong. Despite only being a G.o.d King, the manor that he lived in was on a scale comparable to that of the Qi Clan.

With the ma.s.sive number of disciples in his lineage, he was practically a sect leader at this point.

Fu Jiangchen led Zhang Xuan into his private room in the manor before activating the isolation barriers. Once it was all done, he turned to Zhang Xuan and said, “Brother Zhang, to be frank with you, due to the limits of my cultivation talent, I am only able to forge eight types of G.o.d King realm pills at the moment. If the pill you wish to forge isn’t within these eight types, I fear that there isn’t much I can do to help you.”

Due to the nature of G.o.d King realm pills, the success rate of forging a G.o.d King realm pill was highly dependent on the apothecary’s ability to manipulate the power of nature and his comprehension of the G.o.d King cultivation realm itself played a huge part.

There was no doubt that Fu Jiangchen was a talented apothecary, but his talent as a cultivator was not particularly exceptional among G.o.d Kings. As a result of that, the types of G.o.d King realm pills that he could forge were limited to only eight types.

“Eight types?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

He did not know how many types of G.o.d King realm pills there were in the Firmament, but if one thing was for sure, there were definitely way more than eight of them. However, it was already too late to search for other apothecaries, so Zhang Xuan got straight to the matter at hand.

“The pill I would like to forge is a G.o.d King Breakthrough Pill. May I know if you have heard of such a pill, Brother Fu?”

“G.o.d King Breakthrough Pill?” Fu Jiangchen was taken aback. “Is there such a pill in the world?”

Even with his vast knowledge of pill forging, he had never heard of any pill that could help one make a breakthrough to the G.o.d King realm.

“I came up with the pill formula not too long ago, and I haven’t gotten a chance to test it yet,” Zhang Xuan replied.

With his current mastery of pill forging, he was already capable of changing a pill formula flexibly so as to suit his needs.

Along the way, he had studied the attributes and potency of the Gra.s.s of G.o.d King, and through that, he had devised a formula that best brought out its medicinal properties. However, all of it was still in a theoretical stage; he had not tried it out in practice.

That being said, he had already verified the plausibility of it through the Library of Heaven’s Path, and there were no mistakes. As long as the pill formula was strictly followed from the start to the end, the pill forged should be able to help a high-tier Celestial G.o.d become a G.o.d King.

“You came up with the pill formula?”

Fu Jiangchen looked at Zhang Xuan with his mouth agape for a long while.

He had thought that it was already amazing enough that the young man was able to come up with the Breakthrough Pill that allowed a cultivator to overcome the bottlenecks they faced in the earlier stages of their cultivation. He did not think that the young man would be able to go so far as to even deduce a G.o.d King Breakthrough Pill…

That was sure a terrifying talent that the young man had!

“Indeed!” Zhang Xuan nodded. “However, my cultivation is still severely lacking at the moment, so I’m unable to forge the pill. Thus, I came here hoping to ask for your help. As long as you are able to help me forge the pill, I’m willing to compensate you accordingly!”

“You are too courteous! It would also be the utmost honor for an apothecary like me to witness the birth of such an amazing pill!” Fu Jiangchen replied excitedly. “Is it fine for you to show me the pill formula first? I have never forged anything like this before, so I’ll need to take a look at the pill formula to know whether it is within my means.”

“Here you go!”

Since Zhang Xuan was there to ask Fu Jiangchen for help, there was no reason for him to be stingy. He took out a jade token and infused the pill formula that he had come up with into it before pa.s.sing it over.

Fu Jiangchen accepted the jade token and quickly took a look at the contents. His eyes widened upon seeing the details of the pill formula, and he quickly turned to Zhang Xuan to ask with an incredulous tone, “Are you certain that this pill formula is feasible?”

[1] Linglong Heart of Seven Apertures refers to a mystical heart that has seven apertures, and it’s said that someone who has such a heart must have an innocent nature, and they can hear the voice of nature and communicate with it.
