Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Myriad Calamities Pill
All was restored to peace.
Ji Chen’s body slowly descended, returning to the sect’s mountain gate.
The young man in embroidered clothes appeared somewhat dumbfounded, frozen in place, eyes fixed on Ji Chen, in utter astonishment.
He didn’t understand what was going on.
From sensing the aura, Ji Chen’s cultivation was indeed only at the First Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm.
Yet, the other party actually frightened the demonic roc into retreat.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed such a thing.
"Thank you!"
Overcoming his surprise, he quickly responded, clasping his fists towards Ji Chen and others.
Today, if not for the assistance of the Lingyun Sect, he feared he would have fallen into the hands of that demonic roc.
"Your injury is not light; stay here to recuperate for a while." Ji Chen spoke, and then personally led him to a courtyard in the rear mountain, arranging for him to stay there.
During the conversation, he also learned about the other party’s background and identity.
The young man in embroidered clothes was named Yu Yuanshan, a direct lineage member of the ’Celestial Swift Star’ Yu family in the Outer Realm.
The Yu family’s strength is unusual, being an ancient Di race with a powerful foundation not to be underestimated.
"You are Ji Chen?"
Upon learning Ji Chen’s name, Yu Yuanshan was initially stunned, then surprise appeared on his face.
Apparently, during this time, he had heard many stories about Ji Chen.
A month ago, in the East Desolate Divine City, the other party underwent tribulation, repelling the phantom of a young ancient emperor manifested by the celestial tribulation, thus gaining fame in the Daoxuan Star Realm.
Yu Yuanshan did not expect that the one who saved him today was that Celestial Martial Hongmeng Body.
No wonder the other party possessed such terrifying strength, easily frightening away the demonic roc with cultivation only at the First Layer of the Celestial Essence Realm.
"I will never forget Brother Ji’s lifesaving grace. If Brother Ji has any requests, please feel free to ask; I will make every effort to satisfy them." He spoke earnestly.
Initially thought to be a common second-rate sect, he did not expect it to be the mountain gate of Ji Chen, the Hongmeng Body.
Upon learning this, Yu Yuanshan naturally dared not be careless. As a child of an ancient imperial race, he clearly understood that Ji Chen, possessing Nine Spirit Veins and a Hongmeng Body, had future achievements that could not be underestimated.
"It was just a small gesture..."
Ji Chen waved his hand, not intending to ask for any reward.
But seeing Yu Yuanshan insist, he finally spoke, "If you have any Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi, you can give me some, otherwise, forget about the other items."
"Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi?"
Yu Yuanshan was taken aback upon hearing this, and then said, "Although this item is precious, I can still provide some, rest assured Brother Ji, once I return to the Yu family, I will have someone send a portion over."
"How much is ’some’ that you’re talking about...?" Ji Chen couldn’t help but ask.
Yu Yuanshan was taken aback again, "Would a hundred catties be enough?"
"That would be enough!"
Ji Chen nodded, though inside, he was extremely surprised.
Goodness, a hundred catties of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi?
Are all these outer realm great clans so wealthy?
You must know, back in the Divine City, he returned six pieces of Ancestral King’s Weapons and only got sixty catties of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi in total.
And indeed, it was just as Ji Chen thought.
The Outer Realm is different from Celestial Martial and Daoxuan. The amount of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi in the various ancient stars is more abundant than in Celestial Martial, thus collecting it is not difficult. In the outer starry sky, with the scale of an imperial race, a hundred catties of Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi is indeed not a big deal.
Of course, it’s not something just anyone can offer.
After all, Yu Yuanshan’s status in the Yu family is unusual, being one of the direct descendants.
Ji Chen did not leave immediately but lingered briefly with Yu Yuanshan, conversing with him.
It was only then that he learned Yu Yuanshan came to Celestial Martial in search of medicine.
In the Yu family, an elder, having accumulated old injuries over many years, had a sudden outbreak recently, requiring spirit medicine to save his life; otherwise, there was a high chance he would never wake again.
Thus, during this time, the Yu family deployed a large number of people, searching for spirit medicine across various realms of Daoxuan.
Yu Yuanshan was just one of the dispatched people, responsible for searching within the Northern Nether Realm of Celestial Martial, while in the Eastern Desolation, Southern Region, and West Desert, several other Yu family members were also searching for spirit medicine.
"Is this elder in your family at the Saint Realm of cultivation?" Ji Chen asked.
Yu Yuanshan was taken aback, then nodded, "He is the Supreme Elder of our Yu family. In his youth, he made numerous enemies and often fought, thus accumulating many injuries within, which have now finally erupted, putting him in a grave situation."
In terms of seniority, this Supreme Elder is considered Yu Yuanshan’s great-grandfather, who personally guided him onto the path of cultivation when he was young.
"Why does Brother Ji have such a question?" Yu Yuanshan was puzzled.
Ji Chen smiled, then said, "I know of an elixir that may save this elder of yours, but I cannot guarantee it entirely, and due to some special reasons, this elixir is extremely potent, and only those above the Saint Realm can withstand it; otherwise, forcibly taking it would only aggravate the injury."
This elixir is called the ’Myriad Calamities Pill,’ a Ninth Grade elixir capable of treating myriad types of injuries.
With Ji Chen’s current spiritual power strength, he is naturally able to refine it.
This Myriad Calamities Pill is a kind of elixir he recently researched, among which one material is the Divine Spring Water he brought out from the Immortal Burial Forest.
Hence, the potency of this elixir is extremely strong, and only Saints can withstand it, but the benefit is that it can treat myriad afflictions; Ji Chen is confident that unless it is old age leading to death, taking this elixir will surely cure the illness.
However, the value of this elixir is considerably high.
Other medicinal materials might not be significant, but during refining, a drop of Divine Spring Water is also integrated, which is why it’s precious.
"Brother Ji, are your words true?"
Yu Yuanshan was taken aback at first, then joy appeared on his face.
Although Ji Chen’s age is not much different from his own, the other party is a renowned young king in Daoxuan, so why speak falsehoods to deceive him?
"If there truly is such an elixir, my Yu family would be willing to pay any price to acquire it." He spoke earnestly.
What a Saint means to the Yu family is self-evident. It concerns the family’s rise and fall, and to heal the injuries of the Supreme Elder, the Yu family certainly would not be stingy.
"I wonder where the Myriad Calamities Pill that Brother Ji mentioned can be sought? If you can provide the information, my Yu family is also willing to give you a significant reward." He inquired further.
Ji Chen smiled, "This elixir is unique to me."
This is no falsehood; the main ingredient of this elixir is the Divine Spring Water from the forbidden zone.
In today’s world, Ji Chen is the only one alive who walked out of the Immortal Burial Forest and brought out the Divine Spring Water.
In other words, aside from him, there is no second alchemist in the world able to refine such an elixir.
Even possessing the pill formula wouldn’t work, as they lack the most crucial material, the Divine Spring Water!
