Chapter 209: Origin and Supreme

After leaving the weapon refining hall, Cao Xuan's eyes had never left Mu Zi.

"Junior Sister, your talent is truly amazing!"

This somewhat silent woman, at this moment, expressed her praise for Mu Zi without reservation.

Mu Zi had just arrived at Qianhai Sect, and just by casually showing off his skills, he demonstrated his weapon refining level that surpassed all the other disciples.

Not only that, but the scarlet bird she summoned was also incredibly powerful!
And this is probably just the tip of the iceberg of Mu Zi's strength. Cao Xuan looked at the "petite" woman beside him and suddenly felt that she was somewhat unfathomable.

While being amazed, Cao Xuan also felt a bitter emotion in his heart.

This junior sister is not only very powerful, but also has a very high level of skill in refining spiritual treasures. I really don't know how she cultivated.
In order to improve his strength, Cao Xuan has put all his energy into cultivation and has no time to study "unconventional methods" such as refining weapons and elixirs.

But despite this, her strength was far inferior to Mu Zi's, which made her feel frustrated.

In the face of Mu Zi's amazing talent, Cao Xuan felt such a strong sense of frustration for the first time.

She claimed to be the best in Qianhai Sect, but at this moment she had to admit that the gap between herself and Mu Zi was like an insurmountable chasm.

"Junior sister Cao."

At this moment, Mu Zi's gentle and clear voice sounded in her ears, like a spring breeze, gently blowing away the haze in her heart.

Cao Xuan lowered her head and met Mu Zi's bright eyes. She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions.

"Feel sorry."

Cao Xuan lowered her head and looked at the petite and delicate Mu Zi, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

Although this junior sister is powerful and of high seniority, she is younger than me, so I really shouldn't let her come to comfort me.

Mu Zi shook her head, gently stood on tiptoe, stretched out a soft hand and patted her shoulder.

The moment of touching, a strange touch came from Cao Xuan's body. Her body felt very cold, like a piece of black ice that had never melted.

Mu Zi's jade hand trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Cao Xuan smiled faintly and took the initiative to explain: "Little Senior Sister, don't worry, my body is fine."

"The reason I'm like this now is because I practiced a physical training technique, the Ice Demon Body."

"This is one of the representative martial arts of Qianhai Sect. It needs to be practiced in conjunction with the 'Ice Demon Power'."

"After practicing the Ice Demon Body, my body will be like black ice, and my strength and defense will be greatly enhanced."

"When the Ice Demon Body is fully developed, it will be able to be controlled and released freely, just like an ordinary person. My current state is that I haven't cultivated enough."

After listening to Cao Xuan's explanation, Mu Zi nodded suddenly.

At the moment their bodies touched just now, she felt a powerful sense of strength from Cao Xuan. That power was like an undercurrent hidden beneath the black ice, surging and surging.

Mu Zi had also come into contact with a lot of body-building martial arts. According to her estimation, the "Ice Demon Body" that Cao Xuan practiced should have reached the quasi-celestial level.

Relying on her powerful body refining ability, although Cao Xuan had just survived the eighth Nirvana calamity, she was able to hold her own against the strong men at the peak of the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm.

This kind of strength is already very good. Although it is not as good as Ling Qingzhu and others, looking at the younger generation in the entire Dongxuan Territory, there are only a few people whose strength is above her.

At least, the chief of Hongyadong in the original novel should not be as powerful as Cao Xuan now.

So, generally speaking, among martial arts of the same level, body-building martial arts are stronger.

After this exchange, the relationship between the two became harmonious.

"The Alchemy Hall is in front."

A few minutes later, Mu Zi and Cao Xuan came to a strange building.

The lower part of the building is a wide circular base, and on top of the base is a huge spherical structure. The whole building looks like a huge alchemy furnace.

The two of them soared into the air and flew in through an opening at the bottom of the "alchemy furnace".

After entering the Alchemy Hall, unlike what Mu Zi had imagined, the bustling scene in the Weapon Refining Hall did not appear. The whole hall seemed unusually deserted.

Looking around, most of the rooms in the hall were empty, with their doors wide open. No one was paying attention to the alchemy furnaces inside. Only in a few places there was still some smell of smoke and a bit of loneliness.

As if sensing Mu Zi's surprise, Cao Xuan explained:

"The Alchemy Hall is mainly responsible for refining various elixirs for the sect. Usually, no one comes here. It will only be lively when the sect issues alchemy tasks."

"The Alchemy Hall just finished refining a batch of pills a few days ago, and now is a free period."

Mu Zi pointed to a corner in the hall, where there were some noises coming from. She asked curiously:
"Who are those people?"

Cao Xuan turned his head and looked in the direction of Mu Zi's finger, explaining: "They are real disciples of the Alchemy Hall."

"In the Alchemy Hall, although most of the disciples are here in name only, in fact, except for completing alchemy tasks, they spend most of their time practicing in the Martial Arts Hall, which is not much different from other Qianhai Sect disciples."

"But there are a few people who have a special liking for refining pills. Whenever they have time, they will come here to study various pills. They regard refining pills as a pursuit and call themselves true disciples of the Alchemy Hall."

Mu Zi was slightly stunned when she heard this. It seemed that there was not much future in studying alchemy in Tianxuan Continent.
In the neighboring Douqi Continent, the art of alchemy has developed quite prosperously, which is actually related to its environment.

In the Douqi Continent, those medicinal herbs that were easy to refine and absorb have almost become extinct, leaving only some herbs with violent medicinal properties.

The medicinal properties of these herbs are too strong, and only powerful monsters can take them directly. Humans with relatively fragile bodies need to use some means to refine them into pills before they can be safely absorbed.

In order to make full use of limited resources, the strong men on the Douqi Continent have invested a lot of energy in studying the art of alchemy.

After countless years of hard work, a unique system of alchemy was finally formed, allowing the art of alchemy to flourish on the Douqi Continent.

Unlike the Douqi Continent, the Tianxuan Continent is rich in resources. There are spiritual medicines almost everywhere, and most of the medicinal materials can be directly absorbed by people without the need for tedious refining.

With such conditions, the strong men of Tianxuan Continent would not have to bother studying the art of alchemy.

Instead of spending time refining pills, it would be better to find a magical herb to take.

The elixirs of the Tianxuan Continent do not have much technical content. They simply purify the energy from the medicinal materials.

The effects of these pills are only slightly better than those of raw elixirs, and there is no qualitative change.

Only a few kinds of elixirs have developed special functions similar to those of the Douqi Continent elixirs. For example, the "Du'e Pill" can increase the success rate of surviving the Nirvana Tribulation.

But pills like the "Wheel of Life and Death" are different.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered an elixir, nor is it made from medicinal herbs.

Only a strong person who has comprehended the power of life and death can use his means to condense this kind of pill.

Therefore, the Life and Death Wheel Pill is, at best, just a special existence, not a pill in the traditional sense.

There are abundant medicinal materials in Tianxuan Continent, and alchemy is not popular.

Not only that, here, the energy between heaven and earth is more abundant, even abundant enough to be condensed into Nirvana Pills, Shengxuan Pills, etc. by the strong, and then circulated.

The currency of Douqi Continent is gold coins that are worthless to practitioners, while the currency of Tianxuan Continent is hard currency such as energy pills. Compared with the two, the resources of Tianxuan Continent are obviously more abundant.

In fact, this is normal. The plane of Tianxuan Continent is still in the early stages of development, and the resources have not been consumed too much by those powerful people.

The Douqi Continent has a longer history and has entered a period of decline. The source energy between heaven and earth is almost exhausted, and it is necessary to open the plane channel to replenish it.

The Tianxuan Continent also has an energy similar to source energy, which is the power of the Supreme.

The only difference is that the Tianxuan Continent has the embryo of the plane, and all the power of the Supreme is gathered in it, making it difficult to be used by the strong people on the continent.

But to a certain extent, this also slows down the loss of the original power of the plane, which is a good thing for the continent itself.

Unfortunately, we encountered foreign invasion.
Mu Zi walked slowly to the corner with curiosity. As she got closer, she heard the sound of a conversation.

"I have finally completed the sect's mission. I am exhausted from refining those pills every day!"

"Ah, who said it wasn't? It's just to purify the herbs. Anyone can do this kind of thing. It's meaningless."

"That's right, this kind of elixir has no soul, and I don't want to become a puppet for refining elixirs."

Mu Zi listened to their discussion and found it quite interesting. These guys were quite ambitious.

After a few complaints, the topic began to turn in another direction.

"We have researched so many elixirs, but unfortunately those guys in the sect are always unwilling to try."

"That's right. The 'Explosive Power Pill' I developed is obviously very effective, but no one is interested in it. It's really depressing."

"Alas! Without the support of the sect, when will we be able to research a pill like the 'Du' Pill'?"

Mu Zi and Cao Xuan looked at each other, exchanged glances, then pushed open the half-open door and walked in leisurely.

When they saw Mu Zi coming in, surprise flashed in their eyes and they asked tentatively.

"Junior sister, did you go the wrong way? There is no alchemy mission today."

Mu Zi looked at the people in the room and asked curiously, "I heard your discussion and I'm interested. Can you let me see your pills?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned at first, and then became excited.

"No problem, no problem!"

Several people felt pleasantly surprised that someone was finally willing to try their medicine!

They looked at Mu Zi with gentle eyes and their favorable impression of her increased greatly.

If everyone in the sect was like this junior sister, there would be no worries about the prosperity of the Alchemy Hall!

"Come on, Junior Sister! Try my 'Explosive Power Pill'."

A gentlemanly young man handed over a jade bottle. Mu Zi opened it and poured out a green pill.

She brought the pill close to her, sniffed it gently, and frowned slightly.

Why does this pill have a strange smell?

Mu Zi did not act rashly, but released a trace of mental power, probing into the pill to feel the medicinal properties.

After a while, she shook her head, feeling a little disappointed.

This "explosive power pill" can indeed allow a person to briefly burst out with greater physical strength, but the effect is not good. It can only play a significant role for people in the third realm of creation.

Not to mention Mu Zi, even ordinary Nirvana realm masters would look down on this kind of elixir.

Mu Zi smiled politely, returned the jade bottle to the gentleman, and then looked at other people.

"Any more?"

Several people looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces. This junior sister's requirements were quite high.

"Junior sister, my 'Concentration Pill' is more effective, you can try it."

Mu Zi took the pill, felt it, and shook her head at the man's disappointed look.

"Hui Yuan Dan is effective even for those in the Nirvana realm. It will definitely work!"

Mu Zi looked at it and still shook her head.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other and felt a little lost.

After a moment, a voice asked tentatively: "Junior sister, how about trying my aphrodisiac?"

Mu Zi:.
Your request is too much!
After a moment of silence, a young man in a gray robe walked out from the corner of the room.

"Junior sister, would you like to try my Baizhen Pill?"

Mu Zi nodded slightly and took the pill he handed over without holding out any hope.

However, after taking a gentle sniff, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"It smells so good!"
