A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Creation Supreme Pill

Seeing Wu Li agree, Chen Ping’an felt a surge of joy in his heart but still spoke up, “Now that you’ve chosen to participate, you must work hard and bring back a first-place victory for Free and Unfettered Peak!”

“I understand, Master. By the way, what rank does the Creation Flower Seed reward go to?” Wu Li nodded but suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.

Chen Ping’an was momentarily taken aback but answered truthfully, “Third place, why do you ask?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to know!” Wu Li nodded, contemplating how to ensure his rank would be third.

Chen Ping’an quickly connected the dots and said with a serious expression, “You aren’t aiming for the Creation Flower Seed, are you? While it’s true that cultivating an Emperor-grade Creation Flower from the Creation Flower Seed can indeed alter one’s fate and enhance their Spiritual Root, it also requires a bit of luck.”

“Moreover, the Xuantian Realm currently cannot cultivate Emperor-grade Creation Flowers at all.”

Only Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that have existed for over a hundred thousand years can evolve to the Emperor grade. However, due to the sealing of the Emperor’s Dao Law in the Xuantian Realm, these materials naturally can’t advance to that level. Any resources from a hundred thousand years ago would also have withered away for various reasons. Over time, everyone has come to know that the Xuantian Realm will not produce any more Emperor-grade materials.

As for the Creation Flower Seed, which can grow into a flower with the power to alter fate, it is something countless people desire but is extremely rare, even within the Xuantian Realm. Additionally, only Emperor-grade and above Creation Flowers produce effects that can change fate, so over time, the value of the Creation Flower Seed has diminished as well.

Upon hearing this, Wu Li gently shook his head. “To be honest, Master, I have obtained a pill formula that doesn’t require an Emperor-grade Creation Flower. It only needs a Supreme-grade Creation Flower as an ingredient to craft a pill that will help me advance to an excellent Spiritual Root!”

After saying this, Wu Li took out the pill formula. Through their time together, Wu Li naturally knew that his master was trustworthy, and since his master was also an alchemist, he would understand what Wu Li wanted to do just by seeing it.

Upon receiving the formula, Chen Ping’an’s expression changed from serious to shocked. As a Supreme Alchemist, he could tell just how precious this formula was. He looked at Wu Li with an extremely serious and solemn expression and said, “I assure you that the contents of this formula are feasible, but you absolutely must not leak it, not even to Senior Brother or Second Senior Sister. If it gets out, I’m afraid everyone in the Xuantian Realm will be stirred and even go mad over it.”

“At that point, even I wouldn’t be able to protect you.”

Hearing the concern in his master’s tone, Wu Li felt a surge of emotion. If his master knew he originated from the Wu Family, he probably wouldn’t be this worried. However, before leaving the Wu Family, his Great Grandfather had told him not to reveal his background, so Wu Li kept this in mind and replied, “I understand, Master.”

“How much of the required materials have you gathered? If you need anything, just let me know,” Chen Ping’an asked, recalling something.

Wu Li replied, “I only have the Creation Flower left; I’ve already gathered the other materials.”

“Alright. This time, you must secure third place in the disciple competition and obtain the Creation Flower Seed. If that’s not possible, aim for first place and exchange the Supreme Artifact for the Creation Flower Seed with the third-place holder; they won’t likely be able to tell which is more important—the Creation Flower Seed or the Supreme Artifact,” Chen Ping’an said, nodding lightly.

Wu Li had his own determination in mind; he wanted to secure the Creation Flower Seed for peace of mind. What if the other party wasn’t willing to make the trade? He couldn’t just force the issue; after all, his moral principles were at stake unless he used his other identity.

Before joining the Zhantian Sect, Wu Li had made a mortal friend named Li Feiyu. This friend’s goal was to make a name for himself throughout the Xuantian Realm. If it weren’t for the fact that he lacked a Spiritual Root, Wu Li had planned to take him along to cultivate as well.

So after the other party expressed their dream, Wu Li vowed to help fulfill it. After all, reputation is subjective; whether good or bad, as long as it spreads throughout the Xuantian Realm, it shouldn’t matter. The other party would surely be pleased if they could know from beyond.

“By the way, where did you get this pill formula?”

“Master, this disciple happened to obtain it by chance,” Wu Li said, cupping his hands, his tone clearly indicating that he did not intend to reveal more to Chen Ping’an.

Chen Ping’an did not press the issue, as long as it wasn’t the result of someone plotting against him. After returning the formula to Wu Li, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, there are still half a month left before the disciple competition starts. You should prepare during this time; I’ve already registered you.”

Hearing Chen Ping’an’s words, Wu Li couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly. It seemed that his master had already signed him up, and now he was just informing him about it. However, Wu Li chose not to dwell on it. After leaving the main peak, he returned to his dojo to begin his preparations. The Creation Flower Seed was of great importance, and he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.

“Creation Supreme Pill, what is your true origin?”

Back in the dojo, Wu Li took out the pill formula again, his expression extremely serious. In fact, he wasn’t withholding from Chen Ping’an out of a lack of intention to tell; it was just that once he revealed that he had found the Creation Supreme Pill at the location of the Saint Master Bottle, it might expose the existence of the Saint Master Bottle itself.

The Creation Supreme Pill could only elevate a Superior Spiritual Root to a Supreme Spiritual Root, and the materials required for it were exceedingly rare. Since Chen Ping’an himself was a Supreme Spiritual Root, he wouldn’t covet the Creation Supreme Pill.

But the same could not be said for the Saint Master Bottle. Once its existence was exposed, Wu Li was absolutely confident that not only Chen Ping’an but even the Four Great Holy Lords might be unable to resist making a move to seize it. Moreover, even now, Wu Li had not yet clarified the tier of the Saint Master Bottle.

“Ah, it seems I need to be stronger to uncover the truth. Additionally, I can’t shake the feeling that there’s some unseen force pushing everything behind the scenes.”

Wu Li shook his head and stopped overthinking. The immediate priority was to ensure that he could place third. The Zhantian Sect’s disciple competition was open to disciples below the Saint Realm, and clearly, Wu Li met the criteria—his only concern was that he was a bit older than the others.
