Chapter 89: The Heaven-Reaching Tower! Hundreds of Billions of Eco Points!!!
Xiao Xuan did not hesitate any longer and immediately began refining pills at high speed!
He started with first-tier pills.
With the memories of an eleventh-tier alchemist, refining a first-tier pill posed no difficulty for him at all.
He finished it in a few seconds, and then immediately moved on to fifth-tier pills!
Once again, he succeeded in refining a fifth-tier pill containing a blue trait in a single attempt.
Xiao Xuan also discovered that things like pills were subject to trait limitations as well.
For example, first-tier pills generally only contained white traits. Even for Mu Xiying, at most she could refine a first-tier pill with a blue trait.
That was because the pill’s fundamental nature was too low.
For an ordinary alchemy master, being able to refine a first-tier pill with a green trait was already something worth showing off!
As for all pills, even twelfth-tier pills, as long as they contained a white trait, they were considered qualified pills.
The higher the trait grade, the higher the price and medicinal effect naturally became.
Weapons were the same.
The higher the trait quality, the harder it became to refine.
Even with twelfth-tier pills, the highest Mu Xiying had ever refined was one with a silver trait.
And that had already been done using the best medicinal ingredients the human race could find.
Although the alchemy granted by the Supreme Will was not the absolute best, it was still quite good!
After spending nearly a hundred years in that space and completely mastering Low Eleventh-Tier Alchemy, he was finally able to refine low eleventh-tier pills with purple traits.
However, he did not actually care what quality the pills were. With his Scavenger trait, he could simply upgrade their quality to silver or even gold.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Will’s requirement was that he had to refine a low eleventh-tier pill of purple quality before he could leave.
And the moment his consciousness returned, he glanced at the time and saw that only an instant had passed in the outside world.
In fact, that instant was barely longer than the time it took him to check his watch.
“It is about time to head back. As for this Godfall Poison, it seems there is no need to refine it anymore!”
At that thought, Xiao Xuan did not waste any more words. He tapped the ground with his foot and vanished instantly.
When he appeared again, he was already inside Mu Xiying’s room.
Mu Xiying was currently sitting cross-legged in midair, with golden flames surging wildly around her. As they surged, her strength was rising rapidly.
“You are back? How did it go?”
Mu Xiying opened her eyes, descended from the air, and asked Xiao Xuan.
“Mm, I got both the poison-immunity trait and the Alchemist trait.”
Xiao Xuan said with a smile.
“You even got the Alchemist trait? There should not yet be anyone on Earth with a gold Alchemist trait, should there?”
Mu Xiying froze for a moment when she heard Xiao Xuan.
“I got a silver one for now. It will do.”
Xiao Xuan smiled.
Hearing that, Mu Xiying immediately understood.
“We will need a lot of money for medicinal ingredients, and we will also need Imperial Capital University points! If we want to gather enough ingredients this time, it looks like we will have to make a bigger stir.”
“For example, we will have to clear the Heaven-Reaching Tower ahead of schedule.”
Mu Xiying spoke at that moment.
The Heaven-Reaching Tower was a trial ground created by Imperial Capital University for training its students.
It had a total of eighteen floors, and every floor one cleared awarded a large amount of points.
If both of them could clear it completely, then the points they gained should roughly be enough to buy the medicinal ingredients.
“We might be able to save those points.”
“On my side, I can get a poison powerful enough to kill Ouyang Xun, and it will be more cost-effective.”
However, Xiao Xuan suddenly smiled.
“Oh? What poison is that?”
Mu Xiying was immediately taken aback.
“Li Xie’s talent is not just ordinary poison immunity!”
“It can absorb the toxins of heaven and earth and condense them into a kind of Life-Bound Poison. The poison he used to kill trillions in the future was actually caused by the fact that he himself was too weak, which led to the leakage of the Life-Bound Poison inside his body!”
“And now that I have plundered his talent, I can naturally condense powerful life-bound toxins as well!”
“And since my talent is strong enough, there is naturally no way I would let that poison leak out.”
Xiao Xuan said with a smile.
“So that is how it was. I suspected before that he should not have been capable of producing such terrifying poison on his own. Besides, I had met Li Xie before. He was not the type of person who hated humanity.”
“And besides, poisoning that many people would not have brought him any benefit at all.”
“So it was caused by his constitution.”
Mu Xiying nodded slightly after hearing that.
“In other words, as long as you are given enough poison, you can condense a toxin even stronger than Godfall Poison?”
Mu Xiying looked toward Xiao Xuan as she spoke.
“In theory, yes. But that is somewhat troublesome, because in the short term, my strength can rise at most to the Martial Venerable Realm!”
“A Martial Venerable cannot withstand such a powerful toxin!”
“Unless my realm can rise above the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Venerable Realm!”
Xiao Xuan calculated for a moment before answering.
After all, Ouyang Xun was one of the ten strongest experts of the human race, a peak Martial Saint.
Between him and Xiao Xuan’s current Martial Emperor Realm still lay the two major realms of Martial Venerable and Martial Thearch.
If Xiao Xuan wanted to poison him to death, then the toxin he created would have to be at least high ninth-tier, and that was under the condition that it possessed a gold trait.
Godfall Poison would naturally be best, but refining Godfall Poison cost far too much. If all their resources were spent on that...
Thus, the target the two of them were actually discussing was how the Mu Xiying and Xiao Xuan of the past would deal with Ouyang Xun during the next time they returned to the future.
“The Fifth Heaven of the Martial Venerable Realm?”
“That will probably take a very long time. You seem to have only just advanced to the Martial Emperor Realm, have you not?”
Mu Xiying frowned immediately when she heard that.
Based on Xiao Xuan’s rate of growth in her memories, it should take at least a year.
“Yes, it will indeed take quite a bit of time! At minimum... around three days, I suppose?”
Xiao Xuan calculated seriously and gave his answer.
“Three days?”
Mu Xiying was instantly dumbfounded when she heard Xiao Xuan.
That was a realm and a half! And he could reach it in three days?
“Is it because of Li Xie’s talent? Is his talent really that powerful, enough to let you reach the Martial Venerable Realm that quickly?”
“But then why has he not reached the Martial Venerable Realm even after graduating for decades?”
Mu Xiying was a little puzzled, but she knew everyone had their own secrets, so she did not press the matter further.
“Oh right, I heard that the so-called Heaven-Reaching Tower contains countless Ferocious Beasts. Is that true?”
Xiao Xuan suddenly remembered that matter.
“That is correct. The Heaven-Reaching Tower is the strongest trial ground jointly built by Long Jue and all of the Martial Saint-level experts of the human race. Of course, it is aimed at Martial Artists below the Martial Thearch Realm!”
“Inside it, powerful formations were used to connect it to several hundred powerful eighth-tier Subterranean Caverns.”
“Of course, saying they are endless is a bit exaggerated!”
“But there are at least over a million seventh-tier Ferocious Beasts, and tens of thousands of eighth-tier ones.”
After hearing Xiao Xuan’s question, Mu Xiying explained.
The moment Xiao Xuan heard that, his eyes lit up.
The minimum trait grade contained in a seventh-tier Ferocious Beast was purple.
And there was more than one. Although the grade was not that high, as long as the quantity was large enough, his strength could still rise rapidly.
Even the lowest purple trait was worth ten thousand.
A million traits would be ten billion!
And naturally, they would not all be the lowest grade, and each Ferocious Beast carried several traits!
If he cleared them all out, he might even gain several hundred billion Eco Points.
A hundred billion would be enough to raise his realm to Martial Venerable, or upgrade more than ten traits to gold.
PS: Greetings to all the dear readers who have made it this far. If you have the time, please leave a five-star review, and it would be even better if you could also write a couple of comments. I would be deeply grateful! The lower the rating, the less exposure Tomato gives the book, so thank you, thank you!
Also, I have started a new book, but it is a xianxia novel with a more traditional style. If you like that kind of genre, feel free to take a look. If not, that is perfectly fine as well. I hope for your continued support, dear readers. Many thanks!!
