Chapter 26: Collecting Immortal Ascension Pill Materials

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Fengming City, Fulai Inn.

Zhang Xuan, who had disguised himself as a refined middle-aged man, walked into the guest room and took out a lot of things from his bag.

“The mountain bandits are really rich!”

Looking at the gains in the bag, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

This money was enough for him to eat and drink for a few years. He did not need to worry about food and drink anymore.

As the largest mountain bandit near Lin’an City, the Black Wind Stockade had been raiding houses all these years. Coupled with the looting of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, it could be said that almost no one in the entire Lin’an City could compare to the Black Wind Stockade.

However, Zhang Xuan only brought a portion of the loot with him. It was mainly because there were too many of them. It was inconvenient to bring them all with him, so he placed them in a hidden place.

His gains in the Black Wind Stockade were enough to build a faction.

Apart from gold, silver, and treasures, there were also a few secret manuals, including the bandit chief’s heretic martial art.

Zhang Xuan realized that this heretic technique did not require aptitude. It was suitable for him to cultivate.

On the way from Lin’an City to Fengming City, Zhang Xuan had already learned that heretic technique. However, he had yet to absorb anyone’s power.

This martial arts technique was said to be heretical but, after Zhang Xuan cultivated it, he realized that this technique had many interesting uses.

Absorbing internal energy to increase one’s strength was not the essence of martial arts.

In Zhang Xuan’s opinion, it should be because the bandit chief of the Black Wind Stockade had not truly understood the wonders of such martial arts.

To others, this heretic technique was not tolerated by the public. However, in Zhang Xuan’s opinion, martial arts did not have any distinction between evil and good. It mainly depended on the person cultivating it.

As long as it was a martial art that was useful to him, Zhang Xuan would try to cultivate it instead of looking at the good and evil of the martial arts.

Just like the bandit chief’s heretic technique. The bandit chief used it as a shortcut to raise his cultivation level. This was putting the cart before the horse.

With this martial art in Zhang Xuan’s hands, he could completely use it as a trump card. When he encountered a strong enemy, it could have an unexpected effect.

Although Zhang Xuan was currently at the Connate Realm, he still had to be careful when roaming the pugilistic world.

After all, the hearts of the people in the pugilistic world were sinister. If one was not careful, they would easily fall for it.

The Dragon Gate Escort Agency was the best example. As a top faction in Lin’an City, who would have thought that it would be destroyed overnight?

If it wasn’t for Zhang Xuan, He Yushan and the others would have ended up in a terrible state.

All of this was because of Li Feng’s scheme, which led to the destruction of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency.

Zhang Xuan was very confident in his strength, but he would not be arrogant, nor would he expose his true identity to avoid further trouble.

This was also the reason why he disguised himself as a middle-aged man and came to Fengming City. With this identity as a cover, it was more convenient for him to do many things next.

After all, this was a world where martial arts reigned supreme. There were many sects in the pugilistic world. These people would do anything for benefits.

After all, Zhang Xuan was alone. He had to be careful to ensure his own safety.

With another trump card, he would have a chance to counterattack when he encountered danger.

As for the other martial arts he obtained from the Black Wind Stockade, they were not as good as the Connate Technique. Zhang Xuan only looked at them briefly as a reference and did not cultivate them seriously.

After all, at the Connate Realm, ordinary martial arts were no longer of much use to him.

However, all the martial arts in the world had been figured out and used as a reference. It was more or less helpful to Zhang Xuan’s improvement.

After taking stock of his gains in the Black Wind Stockade, Zhang Xuan sat on the bed and began to prepare for the next operation.

The reason why he traveled thousands of kilometers to Fengming City was for the herbs mentioned in the Immortal Ascension Pill formula.

The ingredients needed to refine the Immortal Ascension Pill were very rare. Among them, there were five main ingredients and countless supplementary ingredients.

Putting aside whether Zhang Xuan could refine the Immortal Ascension Pill now, just finding the ingredients in the pill formula would take a long time.

In particular, the main ingredient was a supreme-grade medicinal herb that could only be chanced upon by luck.

When he was still in the escort agency, every time he went on an escort mission, he would ask around to find the medicinal herbs needed for the Immortal Ascension Pill formula.

After traveling for nearly a year, Zhang Xuan had only managed to gather a few supplementary herbs.

The main material was too rare. He had never heard of it and there were very few records.

However, not only did Zhang Xuan not give up, he was even more convinced that the Immortal Ascension Pill was extraordinary.

After all, just those rare medicinal herbs alone could greatly improve a martial arts practitioner.

Putting all these rare medicinal herbs together to refine a pill, the effect was simply unimaginable!

When he was learning medicine from the doctor, Elder Hong, in the escort agency, he was not familiar with all the medicinal herbs. However, as long as it was recorded in the medical books or Elder Hong knew, he would teach him everything.

With Zhang Xuan’s photographic memory, he could basically name all kinds of medicinal herbs.

However, Elder Hong had never heard of many of the ingredients on the Immortal Ascension Pill’s recipe.

How much would the Immortal Ascension Pill refined with such rare medicinal herbs increase one’s strength?

Zhang Xuan didn’t dare to imagine and was looking forward to it!

As long as he gathered all the ingredients needed for the pill formula, he would be able to refine the Immortal Ascension Pill.

Over the past few days, while Zhang Xuan was searching for medicinal herbs, he would refine pills whenever he had the time to improve his alchemy skills.

This was also the reason why he took a month to come to Fengming City from Lin’an City.

He was not in a hurry to travel. Instead, he asked around as he traveled. In his free time, he refined pills to increase his proficiency.

Refining ordinary pills was no longer difficult for Zhang Xuan.

However, Zhang Xuan did not have much confidence in refining the Immortal Ascension Pill. Moreover, the medicinal ingredients used to refine the Immortal Ascension Pill were too rare, so he did not have the chance to try refining it.

Before gathering all the herbs, what Zhang Xuan needed to do the most was to increase his alchemy skills as much as possible so that he would not make any mistakes when refining the Immortal Ascension Pill.

After asking around, he found out that there was a rare main material near Fengming City.

Although he could not be sure if this news was true, he could not miss it even if there was a one in a million chance.

After all, he had spent nearly a year searching and asking around before finally obtaining this information. Regardless of whether he could find it or not, he had to give it a try.

Moreover, he didn’t have to worry about food and drink now, nor did he have to go on an escort mission. He had plenty of time.

“Let’s rest for today and look for it tomorrow.”

Zhang Xuan kept his money and did not immediately look for the herbs.

He had waited for such a long time. One more day wouldn’t make a difference.

He had been traveling for the past month. Even though he was a Connate Realm expert, he was a little tired.

It would not be too late to slowly search for medicinal herbs after he had rested.
