Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Ghost Face Flower 1
With a strange glance at Blaze Regret, Master Magi explained, "Even within the same type of pill, there are varying degrees of quality. The lowest grade pills, which are commonly found in markets and auctions, lack Pill Patterns. Pills with Pill Patterns, however, are much more effective than ordinary ones and are far more valuable, potentially even doubling in value."
"This is the Pill Pattern?" Blaze Regret, gazing at the Earth Flame Pill in Master Magi's hand, finally noticed a flame colored pattern on one side of the pill.
The flame colored pattern was quite peculiar, resembling actual flames.
"That's right," Master Magi nodded. "A regular Earth Flame Pill can ensure that a fire attribute spirit beast below the eighth rank ascends by one rank. However, even an eighth rank spirit beast refining this pill would achieve the same effect."
Hearing this, Blaze Regret took a deep breath, and excitement filled his eyes. The higher the rank of a spirit beast, the harder it is to advance. This meant that he had struck gold this time!
"In that case, I won't use it now. I'll wait until Red reaches the eighth rank." Blaze Regret happily stored the Earth Flame Pill in his void realms stone.
"Suit yourself."
Master Magi yawned lazily and then looked at Blaze Regret. "I had planned to teach you alchemist slowly, but your comprehension is much better than I expected. It's time to give you something."
Blinking in confusion, Blaze Regret didn't ask further and directly walked beneath Master Magi, extending his hand.
"What are you doing?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret with a strange expression.
"Receiving the gift."
"If that gift were tangible, it would overflow even if your have void realms stone." Shaking his head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, Master Magi extended his index finger and lightly pressed it against Blaze Regret's forehead. "Don't move; it might hurt a little."
Before Master Magi's words had even faded, Blaze Regret's pupils contracted as a sharp pain suddenly assaulted his mind, like being pierced by thousands of needles.
Soon, Blaze Regret's body was drenched in sweat, and his trembling hands showing the pain he endured.
"Woof!"
Seeing this, Red's body tensed up slightly, and it gazed at Master Magi with hostility.
"If you don't want him to be crippled, don't move." Master Magi glanced indifferently at Red and then fell silent. After a cold snort, Red's eyes were filled with worry.
"Huff!"
After a while, as Master Magi retracted his finger, Blaze Regret exhaled a deep breath of relief. A large amount of information surged through his mind, eventually transforming into an emerald green seed that lay in his mental world.
"What is this?" Blaze Regret asked, his voice filled with astonishment as he sensed the foreign object within him.
"The Medical Emperor's Scriptures," Master Magi said softly, with his hands clasped behind his back. "After the fall of the Medical Emperor, he left behind all his life's experiences, which are now yours."
"The Medical Emperor's Scriptures?" Blaze Regret murmured, his voice hoarse with shock.
According to legend, the Medical Emperor's Scriptures was the ultimate treasure coveted by all alchemists on the continent. Who would have thought it was just a seed that appeared so ordinary?
"Indeed, it is that very thing," Master Magi said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, did you just say that the Medical Emperor has fallen?" Blaze Regret's voice trembled with disbelief as he grasped the significance of Master Magi's words.
"Yes," Master Magi nodded slowly.
Receiving this confirmation, Blaze Regret's throat grew even drier. The Medical Emperor was a Spirit Emperor level being, standing at the pinnacle of the hierarchy, looking down on others like ants. It was unimaginable what kind of powerful existence could have caused his fall, and how the Medical Emperor's Scripture ended up in Master Magi's possession!
The history of the Spirit Beast Continent is long and filled with various strange and mysterious legends, such as Spirit Emperors with spiritual power as vast as the ocean, or the Nine Heavens Phoenix that could shatter the sky with a flap of its wings.
Powerful spirit masters and mysterious spirit beasts with untraceable tracks are often topics of conversation among many cultivators during their leisure time.
Seeing Blaze Regret's questioning gaze, Master Magi could only shrug helplessly, "I've already told you, I've forgotten most things. The only thing I know is that this Medical Emperor's Scripture can enhance an alchemist's understanding of elixirs and their alchemist skills. If you were to refine the Earth Flame Pill again, perhaps it would only take a quarter of an hour to complete."
Shaking his head to suppress his doubts, Blaze Regret exhaled lightly. No matter what, the Medical Emperor's Scripture was nothing but beneficial to him, serving as his trump card for rapid growth!
This was an unimaginable treasure!
"This seed will be called the Medical Emperor's Seed from now on," Blaze Regret said with a smile.
"Woof!"
At that moment, Red, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. A serious expression filled its eyes as it stared intently at the dense forest to the south.
"What's wrong?" Blaze Regret was immediately startled.
"I have some good news and some bad news for you," Master Magi said leisurely. "A wood attribute spirit beast is lurking nearby. The good news is that it has swallowed a fire attribute spirit beast, and within that beast is a spirit crystal. You should know that spirit crystals cannot be digested."
Blaze Regret's heart surged with joy, and he looked at Master Magi with fiery eyes. "And the bad news?"
"The bad news is that the spirit beast is of mid tier warrior level, around the fifth rank," Master Magi said with a cheerful smile.
Blaze Regret's excitement was instantly doused as if cold water had been poured over his head. Just as he was about to ask Master Magi for help, the latter transformed into a white light and quickly disappeared into the void realms Stone, leaving only a teasing laugh echoing through the forest.
