The Eternal battle - Chapter 301
Shi Tu felt very helpless after hearing this.
How long would he have to spend inside this illusion realm to be able to deal with all Stray Souls? If he could split his consciousness in half, otherwise he would have to waste a lot of time.
‘ Hmm? It seems that their memories are not useless.”
Shi Tu’s eyes narrowed and he looked extremely excited as he discovered something very big and unexpected.
In Shi Tu’s heart, continue to curse those judges who love mystery and don’t tell him everything, even if they don’t tell him the details, they should at least tell him this to base his plans on it.
Shi Tu did not intend to talk to the judges about it and his opinion of them dropped dramatically.
Although after this discovery he has formed a theory about what is happening, but it is not certain.
‘No wonder many of Rai’s memories are vague, I initially thought it was because of my low strength which prevented me from completely refining his blood but maybe he did something to not get all the information from his blood directly.’
Shi Tu wanted to check Blades of Chaos to see what he got, but he backed away and opened his eyes because he had found his first customer.
Two young men entered Shi Tu’s shop. One was a handsome young man in his early twenties, carrying a heavy sword on his back, and the other was a good-looking young woman wearing a battle dress with armor covering her chest and stomach, but her face looked a bit pale.
Shi Tu didn’t need more than one look to know what they wanted so he said with a bright smile.
“Hello, you have come to the right place, I definitely have the solution to your problems.”
The young man laughed and said, “All the great alchemists we visited in this village said roughly the same thing, but they all retreated after knowing what we want.”
The young woman by his side didn’t seem to have any say in the young man’s statement because she was already tired of all the arrogant alchemists here who are exaggerating themselves but in the end, they don’t even dare to try.
Shi Tu looked at the young woman and said, ” beautiful young lady, you really have a pathetic fate, but you are so lucky to meet me that I can help you.”
They both showed extreme contempt for Shi Tu, anyone who could guess that the young woman needed treatment and that her condition was really bad, just had to look at her face and would know that she had a serious problem.
Seeing the scenario they had gone through so many times over and over again, the last flame of hope was extinguished within them, they both didn’t think that Shi Tu had already known what the young woman was suffering from or that he wouldn’t be so relaxed.
At first, they felt some hope upon seeing the sign, no one dared to make false promises in this village but these thoughts had disappeared as soon as they saw Shi Tu, how could such a young man help them? Their request is impossible even for senior alchemy masters, let alone a young man of their age who had never heard of him before.
Shi Tu’s lips curved into a relaxed smile and said, “For others, dealing with your condition is impossible, but for me, Soul-Corrosive Poison is not a big deal.”
“Do you know Soul-Corrosive Poison?”
“Is there a respected alchemist in the world who does not know the Soul-Corrosive Poison?”
The young man was embarrassed because he asked a stupid question and then pointed to the young woman next to him and nodded his head.
Since Shi Tu had recognized the Soul-Corrosive Poison in a single glance and was still so relaxed, he must have some means to hold back the Soul-Corrosive Poison until they could leave the Yin-Yang World.
Shi Tu shook his head and said, “No need, I can tell that the purity of the Soul-Corrosive Poison within her body exceeds ninety percent and that sixty percent of her soul has already been corroded, she will live another month at most if she has good luck.”
Hearing Shi Tu’s diagnosis hit the nail on the head without touching it, hope flared up within the two young men again.
“Honored alchemist, do you have any means to restrict the Soul-Corrosive Poison? We are willing to offer any price.”
“Restrict the Soul-Corrosive Poison? Aren’t you here to treat it?”
“Cure? Can you cure it?”
The young man asked in amazement.
Shi Tu didn’t seem to understand what was going on, he said, “Isn’t that what you came for? You look like people with good talent, restraining the Soul-Corrosive Poison is very easy but it will cause irreversible damage to her soul which will limit her future achievements so I don’t recommend this.”
While the young man looked very excited, the young man showed some doubt and said, ” Respected Alchemist, I am also an Alchemist and have some achievements.”
Shi Tu sneered and said contemptuously, “It’s clear from your smell, but I have to say that you’d better give up your alchemy path unless you find a Grandmaster to teach you, most of the smells on your body are burned second-grade pill, how many cauldrons have you exploded recently?”
The young woman’s eyes shone with a dazzling light before she blushed in shame.
The young woman quickly adjusted her mood and asked, “According to my information, there are only two ways to cure a high purity Soul-Corrosive Poison, the first is a Ninth Grad Pill called a Soul Ascension Pill which is the common method but it is impossible for a higher than Sixth Grade Pill to appear in the Yin-Yang World, the second method is a Fourth Grade pill called Soul Cleansing Pill, this is a very common and easily obtainable pill but what we need is the Nine-Colored Soul Cleansing Pill.”
The young woman looked at Shi Tu in bewilderment and said, ” Except for these two methods, I have not heard of any other method.”
As it is known, billions of years ago, the Alchemy God, Yao Yan, revolutionized the world of alchemy and changed many common ideas and foundations of the current system of alchemy.
Of course, Shi Tu is the creator of the Pill Grade Ranking System which is almost similar to the Talent Measurement System of the Tower of Truth.
The Pill is divided into nine grades and within each grade, there are twelve levels of quality.
The Grad of the pill can be known by the number of lines on it, while the quality of the pill can be known from its color, as nine colors are the same as the nine colors of talent in the same order in addition to the three colors, the six colors, the nine colors.
Then there are divine pills and sovereign pills which have a different evaluation method but most alchemists don’t know because they won’t be able to come into contact with a pill of this level for their entire lives.
“Although your alchemy skills are poor, it seems that your knowledge is not bad.”
Shi Tu nodded his head and said, “You are right, there are no other pills that can help you below the Ninth Grade, there are other ways but it requires a specific timing or place, and a person with cultivation in the third step is obviously not possible.”
” So ….. ”
Shi Tu answered simply, “I will refine a Nine-Colored Soul Cleansing Pill.”
” Bullshit!! ”
The young woman cried without thinking.
“Do you understand what you’re saying? It’s a Title Pill!! very few in the Thirty-Three Heavens can refine a Title Pill and they are all famous alchemists for a long time and….”
“that’s enough”
Shi Tu waved his hand and seemed to have lost all his previous enthusiasm.
“I don’t have time to waste arguing with you. If you want to do business, take out the ingredients, because they are not rare, and let’s discuss the price or else getaway.”
Shi Tu’s interest in the two guys disappeared and he no longer wanted to play with them, these two guys couldn’t pay and there was no point in making them owe him or trying to hire them, so Shi Tu didn’t care anymore.
Most likely they are busy searching for a cure for the Soul-Corrosive Poison and they don’t have much information that Shi Tu wants.
” You…. ”
The young woman was surprised by Shi Tu’s behavior change and the indifferent tone he used.
She stomped her foot on the ground in anger because she couldn’t attack Shi Tu and turned to leave but the young man grabbed her and said, “Sister Yao, don’t be angry, what he said is true, ingredients are not important, why don’t we let him try? If he fails, he will die anyway, and if he succeeds, we can save you.”
Sister Yao shook her head and said, “Brother Xuan, you don’t understand, a first-class title pill is equivalent in value to a divine weapon, what do you think the value of a Fourth Grad Title Pill is? We won’t be able to pay right now no matter what we do.”
The young man tried his best to convince her because her life is in danger.
” This …. ”
Seeing this, Shi Tu took pity on both of them, a Title Pill might seem like a big thing to them, but to him, he could refine it quite easily.
‘Hey, if I helped them and refine the Title Pill for them, I will cause a phenomenon that will attract the eyes of everyone from the God Hand Medicinal Village and this will cause me a lot of problems, I won’t benefit from anything but trouble, but isn’t this my chance? ‘
Shi Tu smiled happily when thinking about this.
‘This is my chance to do a good deed that I gain nothing from, no matter how I look at it there is no benefit to being helped by them’
