"Ahem, Jiang Che, what did you just say? Refining the void into a pill? Can I, this old man, understand it as... getting something for nothing?"
"That's right, you can understand it that way. However, refining a Peerless Longevity Pill has very high requirements for spirit stones. To refine an excellent Peerless Longevity Pill, you need at least Saint-grade spirit stones with the attributes of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang," Jiang Che said calmly.
He glanced at these old men of the Jiang family, who all looked as if they had never seen the world.
"Do any of you have Saint-grade spirit stones? Give me some!" Jiang Che continued to act like a freeloader.
His Saint-grade spirit stones were now calculated by the ton, hundreds of tons of them...
"I do, I do!"
Soon, Jiang Che received hundreds of Saint-grade spirit stones, almost all of which had attributes like the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Life.
These old men had secretly stashed quite a lot of good stuff!
Jiang Che directly and openly pocketed these hundreds of Saint-grade spirit stones, then picked out ten of the lower-quality ones and tossed them onto the energy supply platform of the blast furnace for pill refining.
[Beep! The host has scammed the ancestors of the Jiang family... Awarding 1.5 billion points]
Damn it, couldn't you at least put on an act? They are still watching from the side!!!
Embezzling their spirit stones so blatantly, they probably had the mind to curse his mother.
"Buzz..."
A sound rang out, and the blast furnace emitted a buzzing noise!
Immediately after, the blast furnace acted like a terrifying black hole, generating a massive suction force!
The ten Saint-grade spirit stones on the energy supply platform instantly shattered into ashes. Countless amounts of spiritual energy gushed out. The spiritual energy contained in a single Saint-grade spirit stone was extremely terrifying; even Great Emperors used Saint-grade spirit stones to rapidly replenish the spiritual power in their bodies.
The spiritual energy of the ten Saint-grade spirit stones was completely sucked into the energy supply platform, transforming into countless streaks of seven-colored light. The Dao laws and rules of Life, the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and more slowly manifested!
The immortals present all widened their eyes!
This was truly using heaven and earth as the furnace and the spiritual energy of all creation as the catalyst to refine an immortal pill!
Even the immortal power within their bodies was being sucked out of thin air!!!
"This... what is this?" The immortals were all shaken. This kind of thing was simply bizarre! They were immortals, after all. The immortal power in their bodies was absolutely their own; not even the Heavenly Dao could take it away!!!
But now, their immortal power was actually being sucked away?
Although it was just a drop in the bucket, it was enough to make them feel fearful.
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes.
This was his first time using Saint-grade spirit stones to refine a Peerless Longevity Pill.
Previously, he had always used low-grade or mid-grade spirit stones to refine Peerless Longevity Pills.
In the beginning, he bought the Peerless Longevity Pills from the system, but later Jiang Che couldn't be bothered to buy them anymore. After all, the price went up as the quantity increased. It was better to get them for free by refining them himself.
A Peerless Longevity Pill refined from inferior spirit stones could only increase one's lifespan by a few months. Moreover, Jiang Che had deliberately added a slight side effect, making the pill taste absolutely terrible.
But now, for his first time refining an immortal pill, shouldn't he show off a bit to these old men?
However, looking at it now, it seemed he had showed off a bit too much.
"Buzz..."
Countless anomalies appeared out of thin air around the blast furnace. Innumerable Dao laws and rules were sucked into it, crushed, broken down, and blended together, ultimately condensing into longevity substance!
"This... so that's how it is! So that's how it is! So this is the source of the longevity substance! The three thousand Great Dao laws are annihilated and then mixed and blended together, eventually giving birth to the longevity substance!"
The Fifth Ancestor of the Jiang Family said excitedly. He was an existence who had achieved immortality through the Dao of Alchemy. He had also entertained the thought of refining a Peerless Longevity Pill, and had even discussed its refinement with that Pill God from the Destiny Association. But later, it was said that the Pill God really did refine a Peerless Longevity Pill, but he croaked because of it.
....
Soon, the anomalies around the blast furnace slowly disappeared.
[Beep! Congratulations, you have successfully refined a Saint-level Peerless Longevity Pill!]
The blast furnace gave a warm prompt.
Saint-level Peerless Longevity Pill???
Jiang Che's pupils shrank slightly. This name sounded incredibly badass!
The Peerless Longevity Pills he had previously given the Jiang family ancestors to eat were all refined from garbage spirit stones.
Jiang Che walked forward, and the group of Jiang family ancestors followed closely behind. At a moment like this, even immortals wanted to come over and take a look.
"A Peerless Longevity Pill. I wonder if its appearance can shake up the rankings on the Nine Heavens Immortal Pill Leaderboard?" The Fifth Ancestor of the Jiang Family chuckled.
"Immortal Pill Leaderboard?" Jiang Che frowned upon hearing this. "Why are there so many weird and bizarre leaderboards in the Nine Heavens?"
"Hehe..." The Fifth Ancestor of the Jiang Family scratched his head and laughed.
Jiang Che arrived in front of the blast furnace and pressed the button.
Immediately after, the large doors of the blast furnace slowly opened!
However, there was no scene of immortal energy gushing out as imagined, nor was there a sight of surging longevity substance.
After the pill furnace was completely opened, everyone, including Jiang Che, was stunned.
Inside the pill furnace, there was only a single pure white pill quietly suspended in the air. The pill had a full twelve pill veins on it. All the longevity substance was concealed within it, making it look no different from an ordinary pill.
But everyone present could feel that this pill contained an almost endless amount of longevity substance!
This single pill had completely drained the Five Elements and Yin-Yang Dao laws from tens of thousands of state domains near the Eastern Azure Heaven.
Jiang Che used the system to inspect it.
[Saint-tier Peerless Longevity Pill: A longevity pill refined using Saint-grade Five Elements and Yin-Yang spirit stones. Its effects do not diminish and can be stacked infinitely]
[Effect: Increases lifespan by 'One Epoch Year']
!!!
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes.
One Epoch Year... was 129,600 years!
This single pill could increase one's lifespan by over a hundred thousand years, and with no diminishing returns. That meant eating ten in a row would grant a million years of lifespan. One could outlive an Immortal Emperor. It was truly an immortal pill of eternal life.
The most important thing was that refining this pill only cost Jiang Che ten Saint-grade spirit stones. If ten Saint-grade spirit stones could achieve this... what if it were a hundred? A thousand?
What if Jiang Che even took out Immortal-grade spirit stones to refine longevity pills... would that grant eternal life directly?
"This... this... this pill... how much lifespan does it add?" An immortal's beard trembled.
"One Epoch Year! This Saint-tier Peerless Longevity Pill... a single one can increase lifespan by 129,600 years!" Jiang Che spoke calmly as he walked straight toward the pill and took it down.
Silence!
Dead silence!
A lifespan increase of a hundred thousand years!!!
One must know that the lifespan of a single true life for the vast majority of immortals was only seventy to eighty thousand years. Immortals merely possessed longevity, not eternal life.
But suddenly, the Seventh Ancestor of the Jiang Family seemed to have thought of something. "Oh no! The heavenly secrets... we didn't shield the heavenly secrets!!!"
And right at this moment!
A wisp of the longevity pill's aura was captured by the Heavenly Dao, and then the Nine Heavens Immortal Pill Leaderboard trembled!!!
[Ding—]
With a loud crash, the Nine Heavens Immortal Pill Leaderboard refreshed instantly!
The pill that originally ranked first on the Immortal Pill Leaderboard: The Chaos Tribulation-Crossing Twelve-Cycle Golden Pill!
Now, it had been knocked down directly!
One must know that the population of the Nine Heavens was simply too massive, and almost a third of the cultivators practiced alchemy on the side.
The number one spot on the Immortal Elixir Rankings had been usurped, instantly sending shockwaves through the Nine Heavens Alchemy Realm.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
