I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"How many spirit roots?"

This question completely baffled Qi Xiu.

Is this something he could decide on his own? If it were possible, of course the more the better!

"See for yourself!" Zhang Menglong took out a scroll with a pill recipe and tossed it to him.

With trembling hands, Qi Xiu received it. It was a white sheet of paper printed with a laser printer.

Name: Mystic Spirit Pill

Grade: Heavenly Grade Spirit Pill

Effect: Helps martial artists with destroyed foundations to repair their bodies and greatly increases the chances of enhancing a martial artist's gifted roots and bones. The specific effects depend on the alchemist's level of alchemy.

Ingredients: Soul Consolidating Heart Fruit, Millennium Black Wood, Willow Leaf Heart, Nebula Grass...

Looking at this scroll with the pill recipe, Qi Xiu's expression turned increasingly crazed.

"Brother Zhang, if you can concoct this elixir, I'm willing to exchange all my wealth for it!"

"There's no need for that," Zhang Menglong said, "When I reach your Imperial City, just show me around, provide food, lodging, and some fun, and that'll be enough."

After saying that, he didn't waste any more words, and a strange fire immediately began refining the herbs.

"This flame..." Qi Xiu looked at the purple flame in Zhang Menglong's hand, "This is definitely not an ordinary mystic qi flame!"

Typical pill alchemists have spirit roots with attributes; only those with both fire and wood attributes have a chance to become an alchemist.

So the prerequisite to becoming an alchemist is to have at least two spirit roots.

Just this requirement can eliminate 99.99% of people, and having both fire and wood spirit roots is even rarer.

Back then, Qi Xiu's two spirit roots were wood attribute and metal attribute, so his mystic qi recovery rate surpassed ordinary people, and his attacks were extremely fierce.

Possessing a fire attribute spirit root allows one to convert mystic qi into a mystic qi flame, which is a basic ability of an alchemist.

However, some alchemists are not content with using this ordinary mystic qi flame; they collect some naturally occurring flames to strengthen their mystic qi flames. The stronger the flame, the rarer and more difficult it is to acquire.

Clearly, Zhang Menglong's flame is definitely not an ordinary mystic qi flame.

The herbs were quickly refined into high-purity medicinal liquid, and Zhang Menglong began forming the pill embryo at a speed almost unheard of by Qi Xiu.

Elixirs are divided into nine grades; above the ninth grade is the heavenly grade. In the Haotian Continent, there has been no record of a heavenly grade pill recipe appearing for countless years. Even the appearance of eighth or ninth-grade elixirs is extremely rare and can cause quite a stir.

This heavenly grade elixir actually took just dozens of minutes to form! And it resulted in three pills at once.

The rich aroma began to permeate, and even Qi Xiu's withered spirit roots began showing signs of revitalization under the nourishment of this scent.

"This is incredible!"

Qi Xiu struggled to suppress the urge to immediately swallow the pill embryo, trying to maintain a perfect alchemy environment for Zhang Menglong.

An hour passed, and suddenly, the sky was filled with dense clouds.

"This elixir can actually summon tribulation thunder!"

Qi Xiu stared wide-eyed at the sky. For martial artists, when breaking through the Heaven-breaking Realm, they must endure tribulation thunder whenever they ascend a major realm, which is often a life-and-death ordeal. Unexpectedly, this elixir is so defiant of nature!

"Be careful, Brother Zhang!"

"No worries, it doesn't dare to strike me!" Zhang Menglong continued to control the elixir condensation while a silver hammer appeared in his other hand.

Under Qi Xiu's astonished gaze, Zhang Menglong waved the hammer and shouted at the sky.

"Come on! If you've got the guts, strike me! Try hitting me!"

"Brother Zhang, you can't!" Immediately, Qi Xiu tried to stop Zhang Menglong.

Although the thundercloud isn't alive, it has intelligence, formed from the will of the world. It has its own will, can think, and can get angry. Zhang Menglong's actions were sheer provocation.

If the thundercloud gets enraged by his actions, it might directly send a tribulation thunder that martial artists only face when breaking through the God-breaking Realm, turning tens of thousands of miles around into scorched earth.

Yet the next moment almost made Qi Xiu's eyes pop out.

Upon hearing Zhang Menglong's warning, the clouds in the sky started thinning at a visible speed and eventually returned to their original clarity.

"Good that you know your place," Zhang Menglong put away the Hammer of Thor, "otherwise you'd get a taste of what the Hammer of Thor is!"

"Brother Zhang's hammer isn't simple!" Qi Xiu noticed that lightning flickered on Zhang Menglong's hammer, and the power of the lightning seemed not a bit weaker than the tribulation thunder in the sky.

It was as if this hammer directly scared off the tribulation thunder!

Dispersing tribulation thunder with just a shout, people probably wouldn't believe it even if told, and some might even call him a fool.

As the thunderclouds dispersed, the elixir finally completed! And not just one, but three!

If this elixir, as described in the pill recipe, becomes known to others, it might incite a bloody battle, perhaps even involving several surrounding kingdoms.

"Catch!" Zhang Menglong casually tossed a pill over, and he started to daze at the remaining two pills. After all, he didn't need such things to enhance his gifted roots; his '???' gift was far superior to any roots.

"Brother Zhang, are you really giving this to me?" Qi Xiu held the Mystic Spirit Pill with trembling hands; although he hadn't swallowed it yet, he could almost envision the breathtaking effects of this elixir.

"Why? Afraid it's poisonous? I did mix in some honey; it even has a sweet taste!"

"It's not that, it's just... this thing is too precious; I really..."

"If you're feeling embarrassed, just treat me to some good food when the time comes."

"Hahaha, once we reach the Imperial City, regardless of what delicacy Brother Zhang desires, I'll get it for you!" Qi Xiu hesitated no longer and directly put the elixir into his mouth.

Suddenly, the surrounding mystic qi formed visible vortices, pouring into Qi Xiu's dantian, lifting his body with an invisible force into mid-air.

His skin exuded a blood-like red color, as if a powerful force was washing through his limbs and bones.

A sharp pain erupted in his abdomen, yet Qi Xiu felt his two broken spirit roots robustly reviving under this force!

Minutes later, his spirit roots were restored, even stronger and more flourishing than before!

But it was only the beginning; a third spirit root appeared in his dantian!

"A fire attribute spirit root!"

Qi Xiu couldn't contain his excitement. Three spirit roots would enhance his cultivation speed, and his attacks would become more potent.

"The fourth! A wood attribute spirit root!"

Qi Xiu trembled all over. Four spirit roots were already extraordinary; he even might become an alchemist!

"The fifth! A water attribute spirit root!"

"The sixth! Earth attribute!"

Apart from one non-attribute spirit root, he had already gathered the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

"Six spirit roots! Brother Zhang, is this an Immortal Pill?"

"Are you satisfied with this?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "This is just the beginning!"

And as he was contented, yet another spirit root appeared...
