Chapter 136 - 136: Attempting Alchemy

The toxic blood from the arm flew out and fell back into the flask, then the mana was withdrawn.

Without the support of mana, the Sepsis Jug returned to the size of a wine flask and dropped from the sky, caught by Zhang Chen’s outstretched hand.

Now, as long as he refined the Sepsis Jug and branded it with his own spiritual imprint, he could activate it at will.

However, Zhang Chen didn’t rush to refine it, but took out the Blood Jade Cauldron from his storage bag.

The Blood Jade Cauldron was the size of a calf, crystal clear, like red glass, and the internal situation was clear at a glance. When refining pills, it could provide a good understanding of the changes in the materials and medicinal properties, thereby increasing the chances of success.

“Next, let’s see if the Blood God Son can refine pills for me.

With a thought from Zhang Chennian, a Blood God Son with intelligence flew out of his body and landed beside the Blood Jade Cauldron.

The Blood God Son looked at the Blood Jade Cauldron curiously as it examined it, as if it had found an interesting toy, but it didn’t dare to touch it because its parents were present.

Zhang Chen reached out and touched the Blood God’s forehead, transmitting the images of Gu Pingshan’s alchemy techniques.

As the Blood God Son saw the continuously appearing images in its mind, its eyes widened with novelty, but as more and more memories flooded in, its gaze became confused.

After a moment, Zhang Chen retracted his arm and took out a blood storage bag and several low-grade spiritual herbs. He said, “According to those memories, try refining blood pills.”

The Blood God Son didn’t move, but stood still in place, seemingly still lost in the memories it had just acquired.

Zhang Chen was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

After a while, the Blood God Son finally made a move, taking the blood storage bag and herbs, and coming to the Blood Jade Cauldron.

However, it remained motionless, staring blankly at the Blood Jade Cauldron, seemingly searching its memories for confirmation.

After a while, the Blood God Son finally began to refine pills.

Opening the furnace lid, it poured in the demonic blood and used the correct method to create the blood flame.

Once the blood inside the cauldron began to boil, it threw a certain amount of spiritual herbs into it.

As the herbs dissolved, the blood underwent subtle changes.

It seemed that some kind of power within the blood had been activated, and phantom images of demonic beasts kept appearing, flying up and down inside the furnace.

Under the burning of the blood flame, the blood became thicker and showed a tendency to coagulate into pills.

Unfortunately, the furnace fire was too strong, causing some of the blood to scorch, resulting in only a few defective pills being produced.

Zhang Chen was very satisfied with this.

The Blood God Son came close to success in its first attempt at alchemy, and with more practice, it would definitely become proficient.

This was also due to the Blood God Son’s pure spiritual intelligence, free from distractions, allowing it to focus on learning.

“For long-term alchemy, I need a large amount of demon blood and spiritual herbs. I have plenty of demon blood, but I lack the herbs for alchemy. It seems I have to continue cooperating with the Alchemy House.”

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen stood up and walked out. At the same time, he threw several blood storage bags to the Blood God Son. “In the future, you’ll be responsible for refining pills in the cave abode.”

The Blood God Son obediently caught the blood storage bag and silently started a fire to refine pills again.

After Zhang Chen left the cave abode, he turned into a blood light and flew towards the Alchemy House.

Not long after, the blood light landed outside the Alchemy House.

When the Pill Pavilion disciple saw Zhang Chen, he hurriedly bowed. “Senior

Brother Zhang, what brings you to the Alchemy House?”

“I wonder if Senior Brother Gu is here? I need to discuss something with him,” Zhang Chen pretended not to know.

“Senior Brother Gu left the sect a few days ago and hasn’t returned yet,” the disciple answered truthfully.

“He’s not here?” Zhang Chen frowned, “Who is currently in charge of the

Alchemy House?”

“It’s Yan Chengzi, Senior Brother Yan.”

“Then please inform Senior Brother Yan that I have something to discuss with him.” For Zhang Chen, it didn’t matter who it was, as long as they had the authority.

“Yes, Senior Brother Zhang, please wait a moment,” the disciple bowed and turned to enter the pavilion.

Inside the second-floor attic of the Alchemy House, Yan Chengzhi looked down at the numerous furnaces below, carefully avoiding any mistakes.

Each furnace could produce up to ten pills, of which five had to be handed over to the sect. Any extras belonged to the Pill Pavilion, and all the disciples of the Alchemy House could benefit from them.

But if there were less than five pills, the Alchemy House had to pay for the shortfall out of its own pocket.

Therefore, in order to protect their own interests, they had to avoid any mistakes as much as possible.

“Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Zhang Chen from the Beast Garden is looking for you. He says he wants to discuss something.”

Upon hearing the disciple’s words, Yan Chengzhi was somewhat surprised. “Zhang Chen is looking for me?

“Senior Brother Zhang originally wanted to find Senior Brother Gu, but since Senior Brother Gu is not here, he changed his request to see you, Senior Brother Yan, ” the disciple explained.

Could it be that Zhang Chen had a change of heart and was ready to continue purchasing demon blood?

“Go and invite Junior Brother Zhang… no, I’ll go myself,” Yan Chengzhi hurriedly walked downstairs.

“Indeed, may I ask what brings Junior Brother Zhang here?” Yan Chengzhi asked.

Zhang Chen smiled. “I want to make a deal with Senior Brother Yan.”

“Oh! What kind of deal does Junior Brother Zhang want to make?” Yan Chengzhi was curious and expectant.

“I am planning to engage in alchemy and want to purchase spiritual herbs from the Alchemy Pavilion using refined blood as a long-term arrangement,” Zhang Chen stated his purpose.

“Are you sure it’s long-term?” Yan Chengzhi confirmed.

Zhang Chen nodded, “I will need a minimum of 10 furnaces of spiritual herbs every day.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Chengzhi’s heart skipped a beat, “Very well, if that’s the case, I will promise on behalf of the Alchemy House.”

“Then let’s discuss the supply of spiritual herbs and the price. If possible, I would like to purchase a batch of herbs right now.”

“Junior Brother Zhang, let’s discuss inside.”

Half an hour later, with Yan Chengzhi bidding him farewell, Zhang Chen left the Alchemy House, carrying a large quantity of spiritual herbs.

As he watched Zhang Chen’s departing figure, Yan Chengzhi felt relieved, “We have regained a source of blood essence, and Senior Brother Gu will be delighted when he returns.”

Just at that moment, a disciple who had reported Zhang Chen’s departure to Gu Pingshan approached Yan Chengzhi with a grave expression and spoke softly.

“Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Gu went out previously to obtain the source of refined blood from Zhang Chen. But now Zhang Chen has returned, and Senior Brother Gu has not.”

Yan Chengzhi’s expression changed as he confirmed, “Senior Brother Gu went out to obtain the source of refined blood from Zhang Chen? Zhang Chen left the sect a few days ago?”

The disciple nodded. “After Zhang Chen terminated our trade, Senior Brother Gu instructed me to keep an eye on Zhang Chen. A few days ago, when Zhang

Chen went out, Senior Brother Gu followed him, intending to use Soul

Searching Technique on Zhang Chen.”

Yan Chengzhi’s expression fluctuated, and it took him a while before he spoke, “Senior Brother Gu has reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and has been powerful for nearly a hundred years. Unless he encounters a Golden Core cultivator, no one can kill him.

“It’s possible that Senior Brother Gu couldn’t find Zhang Chen, or Zhang Chen managed to elude him. Zhang Chen came to us to purchase spiritual herbs in order to avoid pursuit and restore the blood essence trade.”‘

“You’re right, Senior Brother Yan.” The disciple also inclined towards Yan Chengzhi’s speculation. After all, the strength of Gu Pingshan was evident, while Zhang Chen had only recently become a direct disciple for a few years.

Although Yan Chengzhi said that, he hoped that something bad had happened to Gu Pingshan.

If Gu Pingshan really died and he controlled the source of blood essence, wouldn’t he be able to logically control the Alchemy House?
