Danzun War God

Chapter Sixty-Two Misfortunes Never Come Alone

The highest-grade pills ever found in the world are only seventh-grade pills. Only Pill Masters have ever refined anything above seventh grade. Therefore, only grades one through seven exist in the world, and even the highest-ranking alchemist is only seventh grade. The highest-grade pill, the Reincarnation Pill, is something even Pill Masters have tried to refine thousands of times without success. Of course, the ninth-grade Reincarnation Pill is also a lifelong goal for Han Qi.

“I’m going to give it a try. Although I didn’t come here to really become an apprentice, I can’t just stand by and watch my master die like this. Besides, Tang Siyu saved my life, and a true man repays kindness,” Han Qi said firmly.

"Alright, since you've made your decision, I have nothing more to say. But there's one thing you need to be careful about: Tang Shuntian must not leave this place before you refine the Reversal Pill, otherwise he will surely die," the Fire Qilin said helplessly.

Han Qi didn't sleep a wink that night, nor did he continue his Formless Cultivation Technique. He repeatedly imagined the process of refining the Reversal Pill, meticulously handling each ingredient and controlling the fire to perfection, bringing the "Seven-Character Formula" of alchemy to its fullest potential. Even as a Pill Master in his previous life, he wasn't 100% successful at refining such high-level pills.

The next day, when Hua Wuxie came to take the two out, Han Qi only pretended to be frozen stiff, unlike Qin Wuyang who had completely fainted. Hua Wuxie was very surprised and shocked to see that Han Qi could still open his eyes.

After Han Qi and his companion emerged, they were immediately taken to the Alchemy Hall, where abundant geothermal resources provided warmth. Many disciples from the Divine Demon Hall flocked to see them, as their exploits had become widely known after a night of discussion within the hall. Even some elders of the Alchemy Cultivation Sect came to see if the two possessed superhuman abilities, capable of instantly subduing over a dozen individuals of considerable cultivation—something even the elders here might not be able to accomplish, yet these two newly recruited disciples had achieved it—truly a remarkable feat.

Han Qi lay by the fire, still pondering to himself that now that he was in the Alchemy Hall, he could take the opportunity to find the medicinal materials needed for the Reversal Pill.

Two hours later, Qin Wuyang finally reacted. Han Qi had already gotten up and was now chatting enthusiastically with the elders here. After all, Han Qi was now a favorite of the God and Demon Palace, so it was much easier for him to get things done.

Han Qi secretly approached the head elder of the Alchemy Hall and said he needed to find some herbs to refine some pills. The head elder immediately agreed and even sent the medicine storehouse manager to assist him. Soon, the required hundreds of herbs were almost collected.

Han Qi checked the prescription and found that three of the herbs were not recorded in the herb storehouse. He carefully put the herbs into his Qiankun Ring and prepared to go out to find the Crimson Blood Spirit Fruit, the Black Heart Demon Soul Flower, and the Ascension Grass.

Based on his memories of gathering herbs in his previous life, he roughly remembered where these herbs should be found.

After Han Qi finished his work, Qin Wuyang had already woken up. After taking Qin Wuyang back to his residence, Han Qi immediately returned to the Three Venerables Hall, where he saw Hua Wuxie pacing anxiously at the entrance of the hall. Tang Siyu was squatting beside him, still wiping away tears, her eyes already red and swollen from crying.

After bowing to Hua Wuxie, Han Qi said, "Third Uncle, I know about my master's situation. My master was probably poisoned by the Dissolving Meridian Poison, which mainly damages his meridians and causes his qi and blood to flow backward."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuxie immediately stopped, his eyes gleaming with hope as if he had discovered a new continent. Even Tang Siyu, who was squatting on the stone steps, looked at Han Qi with anticipation.

Seeing that Han Qi didn't continue, Hua Wuxie quickly asked, "Is there any way to cure this poison?"

Tang Siyu also grabbed Han Qi's hand, her little hand trembling, and said, "As long as you can get Master, I will agree to any condition you set, even if it's just to call you senior brother."

Han Qi frowned and said, "There is a method, but it's not easy to implement. Right now, only the Reversal Pill can save him."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuxie immediately stopped boasting and let out a deep sigh.

Tang Siyu excitedly exclaimed, "We have so many alchemists here, let them refine them!"

Hua Wuxie said in a hoarse voice, "This Reversal Pill is also known as the Lesser Immortal Pill. If I remember correctly, it should be an eighth-grade pill. The highest-ranking alchemist in our Divine Demon Palace is only a sixth-grade alchemist."

Upon hearing this, Tang Siyu immediately burst into tears again: "What should we do? My master can't die. If he dies, I won't live either."

Han Qi said solemnly, "It's not entirely hopeless. I do know an alchemist who has refined this Reversal Pill before. We can gather the medicinal materials and go to him to refine it."

Hua Wuxie's eyes lit up with hope again, and he quickly asked, "Who is it? I've never heard of such a powerful alchemist in the Demon Realm."

"I'll go with you. We'll do whatever it takes to bring my master back," Tang Siyu said, swinging her arm back and forth with her hand.

"This alchemist is a relative of mine. He never reveals his alchemy techniques to outsiders, so very few people know about them," Han Qi said with an air of seriousness.

Hua Wuxie was about to ask another question when Tang Siyu interrupted him: "Third Uncle, let's hurry up and find some medicinal herbs. At least we can give it a try."

Hua Wuxie nodded and said, "Alright, but do you want to release Han Qi?"

"I've almost found them all, except for three ingredients," Han Qi said calmly.

Hua Wuxie immediately perked up upon hearing this: "Which herbs are missing? If the Divine Demon Palace doesn't have them, we can go outside to gather them."

"Right now, we're only missing three ingredients: Crimson Blood Spirit Fruit, Black Heart Demon Soul Flower, and Ascension Grass. However, I heard from my relative that we can gather all three ingredients at Blood Shadow Peak and Demon Spirit Mountain," Han Qi said solemnly.

Hua Wuxie muttered to himself, "Mount Demon Spirit is alright, it has some connection with our Divine Demon Palace. As for Mount Yinxue, it's more troublesome, we've always had friction with it. But it's still worth trying our luck."

“My master cannot leave this thousand-year-old ice cave during this period. I see that his meridians have been severely damaged,” Han Qi said immediately.

"Yes, that's right. My brother is unconscious now. He's been inside since he went in yesterday," Hua Wuxie said slowly.

Tang Siyu smiled at this moment, and her father finally had a glimmer of hope.

"Ah..." Tang Siyu suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, rolling around on the ground, her face turning deathly pale and her expression becoming ferocious.

Han Qi immediately realized that Tang Siyu's Bone-Eating Poison had flared up, so he slapped her unconscious with a palm strike. He secretly groaned; his master was still asleep, and now his senior sister's poison had taken effect. Truly, misfortunes never come singly.

Hua Wuxie looked at Han Qi in astonishment and said, "What's wrong with Tang Tang? Could she have been poisoned too?"
