Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Where you came from is none of your concern. Just tell me, are you confident in completing its refinement?”

Chen Tian's tone revealed an irresistible authority. Others might feel unaccustomed to it, but Qin Yi felt that this was the Chen Tian she knew.

Qin Yi had lived with Chen Tian for some time and had long been accustomed to his style. Although Chen Tian seemed indifferent, he often guided her.

Qin Yi believed that if she hadn't met Chen Tian, she might not even exist in this world now.

Therefore, seeing this familiar Chen Tian again, Qin Yi's eyes instantly became misty, and tears seemed about to burst forth.

Seeing Chen Tian take out such a piece of paper, Qin Yi was also a little surprised and hurriedly reached out to take it.

However, after only one glance, the woman exclaimed, “That's it! I didn't expect such a detailed pill formula. It's truly an eye-opener.”

Compared to when she saw the pill earlier, Qin Yi seemed even more excited after seeing this pill formula.

After all, no matter how good or precious the pill was, it was still made by someone else, and Qin Yi could not enjoy any of the glory.

However, having this pill formula was very different, because Qin Yi could study it thoroughly and then refine her own 'quasi-immortal pill' level elixir.

Being able to refine an immortal-level pill was the lifelong pursuit of all alchemists in the world.

How many renowned alchemists would willingly sacrifice their lives for this opportunity?

Although Qin Yi did not get a true immortal pill formula at this time, having the opportunity to refine a 'quasi-immortal level' pseudo-immortal pill was also a very rare experience for her.

Qin Yi could accumulate experience slowly, preparing for refining a true immortal pill in the future.

Therefore, Qin Yi found the pill formula even more precious than the 'pseudo-immortal pill' after seeing it.

Chen Tian did not practice alchemy, so he naturally could not understand Qin Yi's excitement at this time. He was just very confused by the woman's crying and laughing, and he couldn't help but ask again, “So, with this pill formula, can you complete the final step?”

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Qin Yi finally recovered from her excitement. She composed herself, revealing a firm expression, and nodded, “Give me a month.”

“A month?” Chen Tian was slightly startled upon hearing this. After calculating in his mind, he frowned and said, “A month is too long. I can't wait. Is there any way to speed it up?”

Seeing Chen Tian's anxious appearance, Qin Yi was a little embarrassed. She furrowed her delicate brows and asked Chen Tian, “Do you know why this elixir stopped at the last step of refinement?”

Chen Tian was stunned after hearing this. He didn't understand what Qin Yi meant by asking this question, but seeing the serious expression on Qin Yi's face, Chen Tian knew that there must be a reason, so he honestly shook his head and said, “I really don't know. Can you tell me?”

Qin Yi nodded and then explained to Chen Tian.

It turned out that the Wei family's 'pseudo-immortal pill' was originally imitated based on a lost ancient immortal pill formula.

However, because several materials in the ancient pill formula are now extinct, the Wei family finally selected several other substitutes after thousands of attempts.

Although this made the elixir's medicinal power infinitely close to a true immortal pill, it also hid a major flaw.

That is, the shelf life of the 'pseudo-immortal pill' after it is refined is greatly reduced.

The original true immortal pill, if stored properly, could be passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. However, the 'pseudo-immortal pill' refined by the Wei family can only last for half an hour at most.

After half an hour, the huge spiritual power contained in the elixir will leak out, thus becoming a waste pill.

In order to solve this problem, the Wei family suddenly stopped at the last step of refining, wanting to wait until Wei Zehao attacked the Transformation Spring Realm and let him complete it himself. This way, they could ensure that the medicinal power would not dissipate.

So, although this pseudo-immortal pill is not as powerful as a true immortal pill, completing the final step still requires a lot of effort.

In addition, Qin Yi was refining such a high-level elixir for the first time. Although she had a detailed pill formula, there were still many unclear points that required Qin Yi to think and comprehend slowly.

Each of these links takes time.

A month was what Qin Yi specifically reduced after seeing Chen Tian's anxious appearance.

If possible, Qin Yi would even be willing to spend a year or even ten years to slowly comprehend the mysteries in this elixir.

“That's it. Although I said a month, I don't know if I can complete it on time. All I can do is try my best,” Qin Yi sighed helplessly, saying euphemistically.

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Chen Tian knew that this woman had already done her best for him. It would be really unreasonable to force her any further.

Thinking this way, Chen Tian had no choice but to nod and say, “Okay, then you refine it first, and we'll think of a way later. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Take care.”

Chen Tian knew that what he lacked most now was time, so after saying goodbye to Qin Yi, he turned and walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the door, Chen Tian seemed to suddenly think of something, stopped, and said to Qin Yi, “By the way, this pill formula is useless to me. I'll give it to you as a thank you for helping me.”

After saying that, Chen Tian disappeared into the room without looking back.

However, after hearing Chen Tian's words, Qin Yi's face suddenly showed a look of sorrow, and she muttered in a low voice, “What an idiot. Do you think I'm helping you just to ask you for benefits? When will you be able to read my heart? Alas…”

Chen Tian naturally could not hear Qin Yi's complaints. At this time, he was about to make some basic preparations for the final moment!
