Chapter 1296: Chapter 1294: Enhanced Resurrection Pill
Yes, seeing the effort the Supreme Elder Lord expended in crafting the elixir, Jiang Liu was filled with curiosity.
To invest so much thought and energy, even working himself into a sweat, what could the elixir created by the Supreme Elder Lord possibly achieve?
Of course, with Jiang Liu’s prowess in the Art of Elixirs, from the Supreme Elder Lord’s movements and the changes in the flame’s intensity, Jiang Liu could somewhat deduce a thing or two.
“You…” Hearing Jiang Liu honestly admit his interest in the Eight Trigrams Furnace’s elixir, and not leaving because of it, the Supreme Elder Lord opened his mouth, realizing there was no point in pretending anymore.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll let you take a look then!” After a brief pause, the Supreme Elder Lord shook his head somewhat helplessly.
This elixir wasn’t something that couldn’t be seen by others; letting him see it only meant he would know certain things ahead of time.
While speaking, the Supreme Elder Lord saw that the Eight Trigrams Furnace had cooled significantly, and with a raise of his hand, the lid flew open.
Soon, an elixir brimming with life energy flew out, slowly landing in the hand of the Supreme Elder Lord.
Extending his hand to catch the elixir, the Supreme Elder Lord’s eyes focused on it, filled with joy.
Softly murmuring, he said, “Crystal clear, lustrous as jade, and it contains an astonishing life energy, with a hint of laws power embedded within…”
While the Supreme Elder Lord examined the elixir in his hand, naturally, Jiang Liu’s gaze also fell upon it.
As Jiang Liu watched, the attribute information of the elixir appeared before him.
Enhanced Resurrection Pill (Consumable): Upon consumption, it allows a spirit of Immortals and Buddhas to merge back with the body, resulting in a successful resurrection, restoring 30% of maximum life value. It can be used only once in a lifetime. Note: Crafted by the Great Jade Emperor’s strenuous collection of materials and refined by the Supreme Elder Lord with the power of sun and moon, it is extremely precious!
“An Enhanced Resurrection Pill? Even Immortals and Buddhas can use it!?” Jiang Liu muttered in his heart as he observed the attribute information of the elixir.
Actually, during the refinement process, Jiang Liu had some rough guesses, but upon seeing the elixir’s attribute information, he was still astonished.
Who would have thought the Supreme Elder Lord could refine such a potent resurrection pill, capable of reviving even Immortals and Buddhas?
However, from the attribute information, it’s apparent that the elixir is very precious and cannot be mass-produced, so there’s no need to worry excessively.
Moreover, the key point is that the Supreme Elder Lord’s resurrection pill still adheres to the original requirements of the resurrection pill, which is needing both the body and spirit to merge.
Once Immortals and Buddhas die, their spirits fall into the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who stands on the same front as himself.
Therefore, as long as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva doesn’t release the spirits, even with countless enhanced resurrection pills, Immortals and Buddhas cannot be resurrected once dead.
“How is it, Xuanzang? Can you understand this elixir?” Holding the enhanced resurrection pill in hand and studying it for a moment, the Supreme Elder Lord then asked Jiang Liu.
Evidently, since Jiang Liu insisted on seeing it, the Supreme Elder Lord didn’t mind testing him thoroughly.
“Yes, the Supreme Elder’s alchemy is indeed unparalleled in the world. This enhanced resurrection pill can even revive Immortals and Buddhas; it is an earth-shattering marvel!” With Supreme Elder Lord’s inquiry, Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.
“Oh? Your understanding of the Art of Elixirs is also impressive, Xuanzang!” Upon hearing Jiang Liu immediately articulate the effects of the enhanced resurrection pill, surprise appeared on the Supreme Elder Lord’s face.
Jiang Liu discerned the effects of the enhanced resurrection pill at a glance, this keen eye for detail must be grounded in a sturdy foundation in the Art of Elixirs?
“Although I knew your skills in the Art of Elixirs were extraordinary, seeing it now, I underestimated you!” After seriously observing Jiang Liu for a moment, the Supreme Elder Lord commended.
“Where does the Supreme Elder say such things!” Hearing the Supreme Elder Lord’s praise, Jiang Liu modestly replied.
One knows oneself best; Jiang Liu felt that his skills in the Art of Elixirs fell short of the Supreme Elder Lord’s, thus he felt undeserving of such commendation.
“It’s a pity, although powerful, the elixir can only be used once per person!”
Even though his words were modest, after a brief silence, Jiang Liu followed with a shake of his head and sighed, putting on a show.
“Yes, indeed, that is the greatest limitation of the resurrection pill!” Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder Lord also sighed slightly and nodded.
However, upon saying this, the Supreme Elder Lord relaxed a bit, saying, “Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws of the Heavenly Dao. This elixir can manipulate the marvel of heaven and earth; it is already rare. If it lacked such restrictions, the Heavenly Dao would likely not permit it to exist.”
After a brief exchange about elixir knowledge, Jiang Liu and the Supreme Elder Lord didn’t linger longer. Jiang Liu turned and left Doushuai Palace.
Of course, upon leaving, Jiang Liu reminded the Supreme Elder Lord about the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“So, is the Empress about to be resurrected?” After leaving the Heavenly Court, Jiang Liu descended toward Chang’an City, musing to himself.
For whom the enhanced resurrection pill was crafted, Jiang Liu could guess merely with a toe.
After all, the attribute information of the elixir also stated that the materials for the elixir were painstakingly gathered by the Jade Emperor himself.
After returning to Chang’an City, the matter of the web café’s grand opening was already very well publicized.
Especially since Jiang Liu managed to persuade Randeng Buddha and Supreme Elder Lord to cut the ribbon, this point was prominently highlighted in the promotion.
The Human King, Randeng Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, Supreme Elder Lord of the Heavenly Court.
It can be said that these three existences sufficiently represent their respective factions, showing all the demons and Immortals and Buddhas in the world the energy that the Ming Sect now possesses.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and under the anticipation of everyone, the matter of the web café’s opening officially began.
The entire opening ceremony was very lively, with many from the Immortals and Buddhas, even demons, coming to show support.
Randeng Buddha and Supreme Elder Lord stood on either side of Li Shimin, and a long colorful ribbon was lifted up.
“Is that the Randeng Buddha of the Buddhist Sect? To see the legendary Buddha with my own eyes, I have no regrets in this life!”
Among the crowd, many monks looked at the presence of Randeng Buddha, crying tears of excitement, while silently marveling in their hearts.
If not for the strength of the Ming Sect, they would never have been able to see such figures like Randeng Buddha in their lifetime, right?
“Infinite prosperity, has the Supreme Elder Lord also descended personally?”
At the same time, the Taoists in the crowd turned their gaze towards the Supreme Elder Lord, their eyes full of reverence.
After all, in the Taoist Sect, the status and position of the Supreme Elder Lord are self-evident.
“How amazing, the Human Clan truly deserves to be the protagonist of heaven and earth!”
As for many demons? Seeing the three standing in position, watching Li Shimin standing right in the center, while Supreme Elder Lord and Randeng Buddha could only stand beside him, countless demons were secretly astounded.
The Human King Li Shimin standing in the C position with the other two?
“The current leader of the Ming Sect is Princess Gaoyang, and Princess Gaoyang is the princess of the Human King, so isn’t it because of Princess Gaoyang that he stands in the center for this ribbon-cutting ceremony?”
“This web café, or rather the entire Flame Cloud Entertainment City, is next to Chang’an City, as the saying goes, ‘the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager,’ so despite Randeng Buddha and Supreme Elder Lord being detached, in this matter, they can only accompany the Human King?”
“Randeng Buddha is the Past Buddha, transcendent in the Buddhist Sect yet not having much influence, while Supreme Elder Lord in the Heavenly Court is also detached but engrossed in Artifact Refining and Elixirs; surely, they have long ceased caring about so-called fame?”
…
Many were surprised that Li Shimin stood in the center while Randeng Buddha and Supreme Elder Lord could only stand beside him, but soon, everyone murmured to themselves, finding one reason after another to explain it all.
After all, unless figures like the Tathagata and the Great Jade Emperor appeared in person, no one could compel them to stand aside, right?
But regardless of what reasons people thought of to explain it, the fact remained.
Now, with the three standing together, yet the Human King Li Shimin standing in the principal position, such a scene once again moved people to marvel at the strength of the Human Clan, truly deserving to be the protagonist of heaven and earth.
Invisibly, the destiny of the Human Clan also slightly increased.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony quickly concluded, and following its completion, Gaoyang personally took the stage, brought out a lucky draw box, and picked a few lucky spectators who could enjoy the latest game released by the Ming Sect for free in the web café today.
Of course, while it was said to be a random draw, there was a bit of backstage manipulation involved.
For example, Li Shimin, Randeng Buddha, and Supreme Elder Lord naturally had their own machines in the web café.
The lucky spectators who were drawn naturally entered with glee, and those who were not also squeezed in one by one.
If they couldn’t play, at least they could watch a little inside, right?
The space of the web café was very large, though only dozens of machines were set up, it could accommodate thousands of people without issue.
Yet even so, the inside of the web café quickly became crowded.
All eyes were on the computers, and many had already turned on the machines, entered the game, and started the newbie guide.
This also gave many viewers a general understanding of the game…
