Chapter 659: The Great Luo Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir
The Great Luo Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir can transform an ordinary person into an immortal in an instant—legendary supreme elixir.
Su Che remembered clearly a myth he had heard during his childhood in Cai Shi Town: a woman swallowed a Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir and ascended directly to become a celestial fairy, but at the cost of eternal loneliness in the Moon Palace…
Lao He then said with a smile, “Master, if you swallow this elixir, you might also ascend to the Moon Palace in the heavens and be with that fairy forever.”
“The heavens?”
Su Che also smiled inwardly. “The heavens mentioned in that myth were nothing but the immortal realm in reality. Later, as an adult working as a patrol officer, I never imagined I would embark on the legendary path of cultivation.”
Holding the purple medicine bottle in his hand, Su Che said thoughtfully, “Just one pill like this can make one an immortal instantly. If I take it, doesn’t that mean all my previous cultivation efforts were in vain?”
A cultivator undergoing tribulation can become an immortal immediately by taking it; an ordinary person who has never cultivated can also become an immortal instantly… In that case, aren’t cultivators undergoing tribulation at a disadvantage?
“A bit, indeed.”
Lao He scratched his forehead in the Immortal Prison and asked carefully, “So, master, do you mean you don’t plan to take it?”
“Take it!”
Su Che laughed heartily. “Why not? Such a wonderful thing—why give it away for free? Whether it’s a Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir or not, as long as swallowing it saves me a lot of cultivation time and has no side effects, I must take it!”
“Right!”
Lao He chuckled.
Swish!
The medicine bottle was sent into the Immortal Prison, and Lao He caught it in his palm. After a quick assessment, he said, “There’s only one in the bottle.”
“Only one?”
Su Che was slightly stunned at first, then nodded and replied, “Such an elixir surely can’t be abundant.”
Only one meant its rarity. Su Che guessed that only an immortal emperor-level being could refine an elixir of this quality; ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals couldn’t.
Speaking of the term “Great Luo Golden Immortal,” Su Che had heard a saying: the first three revolutions referred to ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals; the sixth revolution referred to immortal emperor-level beings; the ninth revolution represented the ultimate stage, namely peak beings at the level of Immortal Sovereigns.
“The Great Luo Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir likely means it was personally refined by some Immortal Sovereign…”
Su Che speculated silently.
“As long as it tastes good, who made it doesn’t matter,” Lao He said with a sly grin.
“The cheapness of these guys isn’t something easy to take advantage of,” Su Che said. “After eating this pill, you’ll sooner or later have to deal with that chef. Just wait and see!”
Of course, these were just casual thoughts. No matter what happened in the future, Su Che was determined to eat this elixir.
“Eat it now?”
Lao He asked, “Or wait until we’ve collected all the elixirs first?”
“Eat it now!”
Su Che gazed at the floating crystals in the distance and thought to himself, “Regardless of the effects of those other elixirs, I feel there must be a reason why this Da Luo Jiu Zuan Golden Elixir is placed here.”
If the entrance to the elixir treasury was the place Su Che had just entered, then the location of this Da Luo Jiu Zuan Golden Elixir must be quite close to the entrance.
Out of intuition, Su Che had a guess: Could it be that without being an immortal, one simply doesn’t qualify to fully control the elixir treasury? Or might even face some danger?
Or perhaps, without being an immortal, one also doesn’t deserve to obtain the opportunities that follow?
Su Che kept thinking about the words of the Guardian Heavenly General: “You’re just an ordinary person… You came too early… The opportunities that should have belonged to you might be taken away by someone else…”
“Then let me get rid of my ordinary status right away!”
Although the Da Luo Jiu Zuan Golden Elixir was extremely precious, Su Che believed it paled in comparison to his true opportunities. Even if he made a mistake and wasted it to some extent, he wouldn’t regret it.
“If I eat it now, I need to check it carefully!”
Lao He muttered, “If it’s an expired and useless poison pill, that’s…”
Then he cursed, “Damn it, I can’t even open this broken bottle!”
Su Che smiled inwardly: It seems this medicine bottle is of high quality. Even Lao He, who was only at the Tribulation stage, didn’t have enough strength to open a storage vessel of immortal-grade.
However, this also reassured Su Che greatly. The fact that it was difficult to open meant its preservation effect was excellent—over seven million years, the elixirs inside were likely to remain unspoiled.
“Xian Yu, open it for me!”
Although Lao He couldn’t do anything himself, he could leave this task to the Xian Yu Pagoda.
Both Su Che and Lao He had full confidence in the Xian Yu Pagoda—it would surely be able to handle an immortal-grade medicine bottle!
Whoosh!
Lao He threw the purple medicine bottle into the air, and it was immediately taken away by the Xian Yu Pagoda to an unknown place.
In just a few moments, the bottle returned to Lao Hei’s hands, now divided into two parts: the bottle body and the cap. It had indeed opened! Lao Hei weighed the medicine bottle in his hand and said, “Master, how about modifying this bottle into a magical artifact specifically for capturing people alive?” “Okay!” Su Che replied in his mind, “Leave it to you.” “Alright!” Lao Hei responded before carefully pouring out a peculiar pill about the size of a walnut, radiating a dazzling purple-golden glow. Truly worthy of its reputation as a great divine pill—just by looking at it, it seemed extremely extraordinary, like a finely crafted artifact, with intricate characters and patterns engraved on its surface. “Whoa, it’s making my head spin!” Lao Hei exclaimed exaggeratedly. “At first glance, it reveals the ultimate truths of the universe, filling my mind with countless thoughts and bringing me great benefits…” “Stop talking nonsense!” Su Che knew this guy was just making things up; it wasn’t that mysterious at all. Just as Su Che was about to urge him to test the pill immediately, he saw the golden pill suddenly detach itself from Lao Hei’s palm with a buzz, cutting through space before vanishing in an instant. “Hey, it even gained sentience!” Lao Hei shouted, “Where are you running to?” Using the power of the Immortal Prison, he forced it back under control, bringing it back to his palm from nothingness. No matter what kind of spirit it was, once it entered the Immortal Prison, it could never escape. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t leave the world of the Immortal Prison. “Treasures have spirits that choose their masters,” Su Che thought. “Obviously, it can tell that if it were swallowed by you, that weirdo, it would be a complete waste.” Buzz… The purple-golden pill trembled violently and emitted a humming sound in Lao Hei’s hand, clearly struggling hard. “Look at its vigor—it’s clearly not expired yet,” Lao Hei said with a wide grin, still using the power of the Immortal Prison’s laws of nature to carefully examine the pill’s properties. At the very least, he had to prove that the pill wouldn’t harm his master—this was no trivial matter. A full fifteen minutes passed before the inspection was complete, showing just how serious Lao Hei was about such things. Of course, Su Che wouldn’t rush him and waited patiently until Lao Hei reported, “It seems fine. At most, it might cause symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, delirium, and itching in the groin…” “You’re just full of nonsense,” Su Che thought. “One day, I’ll definitely create some dumb pills for you to test.”
Lao He grinned, showing his fangs, and said with a hehe laugh, “You’re taking the mute pill every day; otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to endure it.” While talking nonsense, he wasn’t idle either. With a series of clicks, he used the power of the Immortal Prison to impose several invisible shackles on the pill in his hand, completely suppressing it. This was to prevent it from escaping through Su Che’s mouth once it left the Immortal Prison—though the possibility was slim. “It’s foolproof!” Holding the pill, now devoid of its purple-gold glow, in his palm, he moved as if to place it right in Su Che’s mouth. With a mere thought, Su Che sent the pill directly into his mouth from within the Immortal Prison, preventing it from being exposed to air at all. With a gulp, the Great Luo Nine-Turn Golden Pill disappeared into his stomach. “How to become an immortal?” Su Che silently muttered a few words before sitting cross-legged on the floating crystal stone in front of him—the one where the purple medicine bottle lay. In just a few breaths, the pill’s effects spread throughout his body. Su Che immediately felt an invisible force lifting him upward. “Ascend during the day and become an immortal instantly!” “But now isn’t the time to ascend to the immortal realm.” Su Che quickly activated his cultivation techniques to counteract this lifting force. If an ordinary person who had never practiced cultivation suddenly encountered such a situation, they would surely be at a loss and could only let the force lift them high into the sky until they were transported to the immortal realm. After all, Su Che was also a cultivator at the Tribulation stage, so dealing with this force wasn’t a problem. Whoosh whoosh whoosh… The powerful and miraculous effects of the pill caused drastic changes within his body. At that moment, Su Che secretly worried: Won’t such forced enhancement erase all my existing cultivation techniques and powers? His flesh, blood, bones, internal organs, meridians, and even every hair—his entire body was undergoing tremendous changes at an astonishing speed. This wasn’t enhancement or strengthening; it was a complete transformation. It was as if forcing a rough stone to become a beautiful jade, turning decay into something miraculous, shedding his mortal body to forge an immortal one. His Yuan Ying inside his body was also undergoing changes. However, the degree and speed of change for the Yuan Ying were significantly less, gentle and slow, without any discomfort.
Su Che was still fully conscious and undisturbed. He could guess, “It might be because my true essence contains chaotic attributes, and chaotic energy is said to be the ultimate force that surpasses immortal essence energy. My original yuanling is already extraordinary; I just need to transform my true essence into immortal essence…” Not only the physical body, true essence, and yuanling need to be transformed, but the state of the spiritual core must also match and be altered as well. Su Che was quite bold—even at such a moment, he dared to add his own ideas. “Soul power, life force, creative energy! Since I’m going to make changes, I might as well go all the way!”
