305: Chapter 305 The Shocked Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion

Upon seeing Xiao Yuchen's flames, the strategist's pupils constricted; he actually sensed an aura of danger from those flames.

"Little brother, your flames are truly extraordinary; they must be sacred fire. However, I am familiar with the sacred fire ranking, so why can I not identify which type of sacred fire yours is?" the strategist asked curiously.

"Correct, it is sacred fire, but this is a new sacred fire formed after the Fusion of five or six types of sacred fire, and it has no name."

Xiao Yuchen answered nonchalantly. He could no longer remember how many types of sacred fire he had absorbed. The one granted upon his Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage was the Taihuang Sacred Fire, ranked third on the sacred fire ranking. He felt the power of this new sacred fire should be comparable to the Chaos Sacred Fire, which ranked second.

"Five or six types of sacred fire? Sacred fire is something one can only encounter by luck but never seek out; to encounter even one is extremely fortunate. How could you possess so many?"

Seeing the strategist's shocked expression, Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "It seems Tianji Pavilion does not know everything. I thought I had no secrets before you. But since you address me as the Chosen One, my possession of a few types of sacred fire should be understandable, right?"

"That is true; your abilities certainly cannot be explained by conventional logic. My Tianji Pavilion cannot possibly know everything, and from the stars, one can only roughly discern a person's fortune; other things cannot be seen at all," the strategist replied.

"Very well, then have you ever calculated your own fortune? Who do you think will win between the Human Race and the Demon Race?" Xiao Yuchen asked again.

"I have not, because it cannot be calculated accurately. As an astrologer, personal emotions affect judgment. When looking at others' fortunes, one can predict objectively, but when it comes to themselves, many astrologers deliberately avoid it, especially regarding bad fortunes, which many are unwilling to accept.

To know one's own fortune, one can only indirectly infer it by judging the results of matters related to oneself, but those results will always have deviations, so it is better not to calculate it at all.

As for the great war between the Human Race and the Demon Race, I have also calculated it. Naturally, I hope the Human Race will win, but I cannot calculate the final result of who will win. However, I feel that whether victory can be achieved depends on you."

Hearing the strategist's words, Xiao Yuchen merely nodded without speaking and began to focus on Alchemy.

Because he was refining an ascension pill, Xiao Yuchen was extremely cautious. He placed the Spirit Medicine into the Pill Furnace one by one in order. When all the Spirit Medicine turned into liquid, Xiao Yuchen added a drop of tears of light.

Half an hour later, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, and nine Medicinal Pill appeared in the Pill Furnace: two were Top Grade, and seven were High Grade.

Xiao Yuchen was extremely satisfied with the Alchemy result this time. Although the Rank of the Medicinal Pill refined had increased, the quality of the Medicinal Pill had not decreased, which surprised him.

"Two Top Grade and seven High Grade; I will give you two Top Grade and three High Grade—is that acceptable?"

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, the strategist was stunned for a long time. He did not expect that Xiao Yuchen would succeed on the first attempt, and that nine Medicinal Pill were formed with such high quality.

"Acceptable, of course it is acceptable. I thought you could only refine Low Grade or Medium Grade, after all, the ascension pill is already a Rank 9 Medicinal Pill."

The strategist was clearly somewhat excited. Indeed, these Spirit Medicine could only exert their maximum effect in Xiao Yuchen's hands; Xiao Yuchen's Alchemy level had already far surpassed the Celestial Court's Pill Venerable, Yuan Hao.

"Very well, these five are for you."

Xiao Yuchen handed the two Top Grade and three High Grade to the strategist. The strategist took the Medicinal Pill with slightly trembling hands; this was his first time seeing such high-quality Rank 9 Medicinal Pill.

"Little brother, thank you. Since the Medicinal Pill is in hand, I will return first; Court Master is still waiting for my news."

After putting on his black robe, the strategist left the Chen Family. Watching the strategist's departing figure, Xiao Yuchen fell into deep thought.

After the strategist left, Xiao Yuchen entered the Taiji Space again. After another three days, Xiao Yuchen successfully finished refining all the Medicinal Pill.

There were fifteen batches of dragon-riding pill, totaling 135; seven batches of tribulation pill, totaling 63, of which two were given to Chen Tianhe, leaving 61; and three batches of ascension pill, totaling 27, of which five were given to the strategist, leaving 22.

Such a large number of high-Rank Medicinal Pill was absolutely a huge fortune. With these Medicinal Pill, he could build a massive force.

After the Alchemy was successful, Xiao Yuchen refined six more lightning locking towers, which, added to the one remaining from before, made a total of seven lightning locking towers—enough for Li Yiran and the other two to Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

Everything was ready. Xiao Yuchen walked out of the Taiji Space, found the people from the Four Great Families, took out 31 High Grade dragon-riding pill to give to everyone, and took out four High Grade ascension pill to give to Zhao Zicheng and the other three.

Although Xiao Yuchen had previously promised to pay them a reward, Zhao Zicheng and the others never expected Xiao Yuchen to be so generous, giving them each a Medicinal Pill; such a grand gesture was something even the Celestial Court could not do.

The most crucial thing was that Xiao Yuchen had given each of the four of them an ascension pill; they knew full well how high the value of this ascension pill was.

"Yuchen, we did not really help with anything; do you really want to give these Medicinal Pill to us?"

Although Zhao Zicheng was also eager to improve his cultivation, he had promised to follow Xiao Yuchen for two years, and whatever he did during these two years was his duty.

"Of course. Although this is helping you, it is actually also helping myself. If your strength improves, it will be more helpful to me."

Hearing this, the Patriarch of Liu Family took the initiative to step forward and said, "Young Master Xiao, you saved the lives of my Liu Family members. We should not have taken your Medicinal Pill, but we really do not have the courage to refuse this reward. I, the Patriarch of Liu Family, am willing to follow you and repay your kindness."

"My Feng Family has also received great kindness from Young Master Xiao. I, Feng Buyan, am also willing to follow Young Master Xiao."

Hearing the two speak this way, Xiao Yuchen was somewhat moved and took out four Top Grade tribulation pill to give to the four of them.

"I thank everyone for your kindness, but your families have no strong experts at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage to hold the fort, and you will likely be replaced by other families. Here are four Top Grade tribulation pill; you should each select one person at the Mahayana Stage Great Perfection, give them the Medicinal Pill, and let them return to the Family."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, Zhao Zicheng and the other three cupped their fists in thanks again. The reason Feng Buyan and the Patriarch of Liu Family had been hesitant before was because they were worried about the safety of their families; Xiao Yuchen doing this completely eliminated the worries in their hearts.

After appeasing everyone, Xiao Yuchen found his mother. Li Yiran and the others were also there. Xiao Yuchen took out a jade bottle, handed it to Chen Tingting, and then said, "Please give this Top Grade ascension pill to Chen Tianhe."

"Xiao Chen, where did you get an ascension pill? And a Top Grade one at that? Didn't you say you hadn't gathered enough Spirit Medicine to refine an ascension pill yet?" Chen Tingting asked in surprise.

"The black-robed person from before was from the Celestial Palace; he gave me a lot of Spirit Medicine, saying it was a reward for my previous saving of the Xuantian Continent."

Xiao Yuchen explained briefly, then looked at Li Yiran and the other three and said, "I have refined six more lightning locking towers, which is enough for you to use for your upgrades. Who will go first?"

The three still deferred to each other. Finally, Xiao Yuchen taught Dongfang Qingcheng and Wen Ruyu how to play rock-paper-scissors and let them decide by guessing fists; in the end, Dongfang Qingcheng won.
