Chapter 523 - 286: Elixir of Immortality Formula

Chapter 523: Chapter 286: Elixir of Immortality Formula

’Even though I think his viewpoint is flawed, I’m not here to debate philosophy with him.’

So, Lu Cang didn’t refute him.

He simply said, "Oh... A fine ideal."

’I’ve heard the Peace Church has an ultimate goal: to build an ideal world without conflict. This man’s thinking is quite similar to theirs.’

"Since you’re going to publish your research, can you let me see it first?"

"Of course. I won’t treat you unfairly in this exchange."

Lu Cang swiped his right hand through the air.

A thin green book appeared in his hand.

"This Potion Formula of mine records the method for synthesizing the Elixir of Immortality."

"I imagine trading this with you isn’t a bad deal, is it?"

’The Elixir of Immortality?’

The expression on the Golden Dragon behind Lu Cang shifted slightly.

’The formula for the Elixir of Immortality was said to have been left in the Valley of Eternal Life. No one else in the world should know it.’

’Why does this person have the formula for the Elixir of Immortality?’

Yukelyn looked at the formula Lu Cang handed over.

He was also slightly stunned.

’Trading for the Elixir of Immortality?’

’The Potion I developed is powerful, but when it comes to true value, it’s nowhere near as precious as the formula for the Elixir of Immortality.’

’After all, I plan on making my formula public anyway.’

"Is... Is this real?"

Yukelyn’s tone was doubtful, with a hint of disbelief.

"If you don’t believe me, you can open it and see for yourself."

Lu Cang casually tossed it.

The precious formula was thrown as if it were some worthless piece of scrap paper.

Yukelyn was shocked!

He immediately caught it with both hands, cradling the formula in his palms.

He looked at Lu Cang doubtfully.

He saw Lu Cang’s calm and nonchalant expression, then looked back at the thin book.

This Potion Formula book was very simple and unadorned, and there weren’t many Restrictions on it...

Yukelyn opened the book.

As a Level 7 Alchemist, authenticating a Potion Formula was an easy task.

Yukelyn carefully turned the pages. The procedures for synthesizing the potion, page after page, were imprinted in his mind.

’This book... it’s not a fake.’

The knowledge inside perfectly aligned with true principles of potion-making.

As an expert, he could tell at a glance that this formula was the real deal.

"Go ahead and read it. I don’t mind if you read the whole thing," Lu Cang said flatly.

He suddenly looked at Lu Cang again, feeling that he was completely unfathomable.

’He’s just giving away the formula for the legendary Elixir of Immortality? And he acts so completely unconcerned.’

’An ordinary person would have to venture into extremely dangerous ruins and face life-and-death situations just for a chance to obtain this formula.’

’Just who in the world is this person?’

’Could he be the disciple of some sacred land?’

’Or perhaps the direct disciple of a god?’

It was incomprehensible. Even the Golden Dragon behind him was filled with solemn doubt. ’Lu Cang is truly becoming more and more mysterious...’

"This trade, of course, is no problem."

"No, wait. What else might you require?" Yukelyn’s tone grew deferential.

"I didn’t bring many formulas with me this time."

"So I can’t make too many trades with you."

"However, I do have some other materials on hand, for example, the remains of some Tier Six Fourth Shedding or Fifth Shedding level Demons."

Lu Cang no longer used the rustic term from the Lorren Kingdom, "Submerged Land Level."

Instead, he used a more High Level term from the Celestial Realm.

"Fourth Shedding? Fifth Shedding?"

"What... are you referring to?"

However, Yukelyn was completely confused.

"Are you perhaps referring to Tier Six King Level and Emperor Level Demons?"

Hearing the other party bring out yet another new term, the corner of Lu Cang’s mouth twitched slightly.

’When will this world ever unify its system of measurements?’

This world was too big, after all.

A single continent was far larger than Earth, a single sea region contained so many continents, and methods of communication were extremely primitive.

This ultimately led to huge cultural differences.

Even with the existence of worldwide organizations like the Church and the White Tower, which compensated for this shortcoming to some extent.

But in the end, different places still had their own dialects and local terms.

"Hmm... See for yourself."

Lu Cang casually waved his hand again.

Several Spatial Bags appeared in front of Yukelyn.

The corpses of Submerged Land Level Demons were too large. Lu Cang couldn’t possibly take them out directly in this room, so he could only give them to him via the Spatial Bags for him to see for himself.

Yukelyn took the Spatial Bags.

He sent his Perception into them one by one to investigate.

Seeing the scene inside the Spatial Bags, he couldn’t help but gasp.

As a Level 7 Alchemist, he had indeed seen Tier Six Demons before.

But Tier Six Demons were by no means common... especially Emperor Level Tier Six Demons.

This was the first time Yukelyn had seen the corpses of so many Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demons.

"What... What else do you want to exchange?" Yukelyn’s voice trembled slightly.

A Level 7 Alchemist wasn’t really short on money.

But when it came to medicinal ingredients, they were always in short supply.

There wasn’t a single production Profession that didn’t lack raw materials. Basically, after changing to a production Profession, one spent half their time on crafting and the other half on searching for materials.

In fact... the time spent searching for materials might even be far greater than the time spent crafting.

"What I want to trade for is very simple."

"I want your insights as a Pharmacist, as well as the formulas you possess."

"I intend to acquire any formula you’re willing to trade."

"Of course, the price is negotiable."

"If you want Gold Coins, I have Gold Coins. If you want materials, I can also provide some. If you feel that’s still not enough, you can state your demands, and I can make you a promise."

’Besides... promises don’t necessarily have to be kept.’

’I can just leave when the time comes.’

Lu Cang’s demeanor was magnanimous, and at the same time, he exuded an indescribable air of mystery.

It made it impossible for anyone to see through Lu Cang.

In fact, it was truly impossible to see through him. After all, with the existence of the Unsolvable Mystery, Lu Cang’s aura of mystery never left him.

"Formulas..."

"You just said you’re also a Pharmacist."

Lu Cang nodded. "Yes."

"I just changed my Profession to Pharmacist not long ago, and I plan to advance further down this path."

"As it happens, I ran into you."

"I was also hoping to ask for your guidance."

Yukelyn’s expression turned serious. Finally, he nodded. "I see."

"If it’s just that, then I have no objection."

"My formulas are basically all public. Many have already been collected in the White Tower... If you search for the name Yukelyn in the White Tower, you should be able to find them, at least in the Muddy Sea Region."

’The Muddy Sea Region, huh...’

The White Tower is indeed a worldwide organization, but the White Tower in each region can’t possibly contain all the knowledge in the world.

The volume is just too immense. If every White Tower had to house all the knowledge of all the world’s scholars, even using an entire continent’s worth of land to build the White Tower wouldn’t be enough.

I’ve heard that only the White Tower’s headquarters, the Tower of Supreme Knowledge, contains all the knowledge from around the world that has ever been recorded by the White Tower.

"But if you want them, I can give them to you directly."

"These materials are certainly enough."

"But if possible, I’d also like a few specific medicinal ingredients. I wonder if you have them."

"Of course, if you don’t, that’s fine too."

Yukelyn carefully listed several medicinal ingredients. After listening, Lu Cang rummaged through his Storage Space and actually managed to find a few of them.

But after all, he wasn’t a professional Pharmacist before, so his collection of ingredients wasn’t that comprehensive.

So he wasn’t able to get Yukelyn all the materials he needed.

After the deal was struck,

Lu Cang also received all the Potion Formulas Yukelyn gave him, which included everything from Tier One Potions to Tier Seven Potions.

’I finally have the formulas.’

Especially...

Lu Cang looked at the long scroll in his hand. Recorded on this scroll was the complete formula for the "Demon Spirit Activation Potion."

This was a Tier Five Potion Formula. As long as one was a Level 5 Alchemist, they could concoct it.

A formula developed by a Level 7 Alchemist isn’t necessarily a Tier Seven Potion.

It’s just like how Lu Cang, as a Level 5 Mage, could also create his own Tier One Magic.

The creation process wasn’t complicated.

The technical process wasn’t difficult.

The main difficulty was in the research process.

’This is the Potion that should have been lost to history. I’ve finally obtained it.’

Yukelyn also survived.

’Does this mean this part is over?’

Just as this thought formed in Lu Cang’s mind,

A voice that was somehow both young and ancient, both deep and enchanting, echoed faintly between heaven and earth.

And at the same time, the entire world seemed to freeze in that instant.

"You have become this world’s hero, changing a past regret~"

It was Aigemisa’s voice.

"However, the others besides you are still fervently trying to save their own worlds of regret."

"Only after everyone has either become a hero or failed in their rescue attempt will you all be released from this world."

"Of course, this time is not infinite."

"It won’t be long before there is an outcome..."

OMM—

The voice gradually faded away.

Snapping back to his senses, he found that time in the world had begun to flow again.

’Aigemisa...’

’Being in a world someone else created... it feels so passive. I don’t like it.’

There was no point in overthinking it.

If he couldn’t leave for a while, he might as well use this time to get a better grasp on being a Pharmacist.

He had basically never interacted with Pharmacists before, only had passing encounters.

He didn’t have much insight into how to practice the principles of a Pharmacist.

He had never even tried refining a potion with his own hands.

Now was the perfect opportunity to study the Pharmacist Profession.

"Alright, I’ve received the formulas."

"Yukelyn, could you guide me in refining some potions?"

Yukelyn was a little confused. "Guide you?"

Lu Cang: "Yes. To be honest, I just recently became a Level 1 Alchemist. I don’t have much experience."

Huh?

’Level 1?’

’You pull out the formula for the Elixir of Immortality right away, and I thought you were a Level 7 Alchemist like me?’

’And now you’re telling me you’re only Level 1?’
