I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1268 - 1262: I Even Upgraded It for You for Free

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1262: I Even Upgraded It for You for Free
Zhang Menglong’s words ignited a blazing fire of hope in Zuo Liu’s heart, for he had never heard such confident words from any Saint Level Alchemist before.
In fact, those alchemists were not entirely helpless; as long as they gathered 12 alchemists possessing different flames and led by a Saint Level Alchemist, there was a certain possibility of successfully refining this elixir.
However, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty, requiring 12 alchemists to work together perfectly. Any mishap in any link could lead to waste of materials or even the danger of an explosion.
"Are you currently at the Shennong Hall in Cicada City?"
"That’s right."
"Please wait a moment, I’ll be right over."
"Oh? Coming over?" Zhang Menglong was taken aback, as the Silver Sword Empire was very far from this Cicada City. How could he come over?
"Kid, you don’t understand, do you? This is a really awesome technique. Quantum teleportation cannot transport humans but can transfer part of consciousness, which is then carried by a special medium. It is usually used for very important matters that require personal attendance when the distance is too far otherwise. It seems this Zuo Liu takes Alchemy very seriously. Can you do it?"
"Of course," Zhang Menglong said, "It’s not like it’s some kind of Breakthrough Pill; there’s really no difficulty."
"Breakthrough Pill? That’s a Saint Grade Elixir. If you can refine it, I guarantee every Saint on the Stigma Continent will clamor to have you as their champion."
"What the hell do you know, kitten," Zhang Menglong continued to sit down and started drinking tea.
...
"May I ask, are you Master Zhang?" Half an hour later, a magnetic middle-aged man’s voice came from behind Zhang Menglong.
Zhang Menglong turned to see a man dressed in a coat-like garment, with neat red short hair. Even in such a loose outfit, the man’s burly figure was unmistakable.
"Are you Mr. Zuo Liu?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Yes," Zuo Liu nodded. This temporary body of his was only at the True Martial Realm, but inside it was the soul of a Saint who could clearly sense Zhang Menglong’s age and realm.
years old and in the Peak God-breaking stage, just this alone amazed him infinitely.
"I heard recently, in a city of the so-called Moyun Empire, a young man who passed the life and death challenge at only 42, reached the Peak God-breaking realm, mastered several powerful secret techniques, and even instantly killed a Warcraft at the Second Realm of the Illusory Transformation."
Zuo Liu, filled with a smile, looked at Zhang Menglong. "This young man must be Mr. Zhang, right?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Zuo Liu, you have sharp eyes," Zhang Menglong laughed. "My whereabouts are quite valuable now. Mr. Zuo Liu, you won’t sell my whereabouts, will you?"
"Hahaha," Zuo Liu laughed as well. "Those at the Giant Blade Martial Battle Arena wouldn’t dare to mess with anyone under my protection."
Zuo Liu’s words exuded a strong confidence. "Just these two points tell me my trip was worth it."
"Let’s discuss the real business," Zhang Menglong said. "Did you bring the pill recipe and materials?"
"Yes, I did," Zuo Liu took out an ancient piece of animal hide and a ring. "I’ve prepared two sets of materials, no more than that, and I hope the Master will give it his all."
"No problem," Zhang Menglong took the hide and glanced at it. Its difficulty level was about that of Ninth Grade Elixir in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, but for Zhang Menglong, who inherited the Alchemy Techniques of the Medicine Sovereign, it was almost no difficulty, even slightly simple. The only issue was that the refining conditions were a bit demanding.
"Master, this elixir requires 12 kinds of flames, this..."
"Whoosh!" Zhang Menglong opened his palm, and immediately two to three dozen flames of different colors ignited. These flames not only looked different but had completely different properties; some were cold, some were scorching, some burned substances, some burned souls.
"Over twenty kinds of flames?" Zuo Liu showed a delighted expression, thankful for his sudden impulse, or he might have missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Those idiots," Zuo Liu internally mocked others who rejected Zhang Menglong. If they knew Zhang Menglong had this ability, they’d probably regret it to the point of banging their heads against the wall now.
"Very much relying on the Master," this time, Zuo Liu was utterly convinced by Zhang Menglong. He bowed deeply to Zhang Menglong. "Master, if you can successfully refine it for me this time, I, Zuo Liu, owe you a huge favor. Even if you want me to take down the headquarters of the Giant Blade Martial Battle Arena, I wouldn’t say a word against it!"
"That won’t be necessary," Zhang Menglong smiled. "I’m just eyeing that points reward of yours, the rest is up to you. I’m a person of principles, give me half a day!"
"Just half a day?" Zuo Liu shuddered again upon hearing that.
For an elixir of this level, even taking three to five months or even half a year to refine isn’t unusual, half a day?
"This kind of elixir doesn’t take much time," Zhang Menglong said. "Like final exam problems for college-level teachers of higher mathematics, calculating it requires little time, no need to think, this is about the same."
"Then I’ll wait here for the Master!"
In this Shennong Hall, there are private alchemy rooms for rent, and naturally, this didn’t cost Zhang Menglong any extra. As a high-level client like Zuo Liu, he could use the top-level alchemy room for free.
"Kid, I want to see if you are really that capable," Xiao Bai hovered in mid-air watching Zhang Menglong.
"Tch!" In an instant, Zhang Menglong released all the Strange Fires, and under his precise control, dozens of herbs began to be extracted into their most refined essences. This feat alone left Xiao Bai amazed.
"Damn! You really are an Alchemist!" Xiao Bai immediately showed a flattering expression. If he wanted to restore his body, he not only needed a strong Warcraft’s body as a vessel but also many other things, the most important being a Saint Grade Elixir called Demon God Creation Pill.
He had been pondering how to acquire one, but now, with an Alchemist capable of refining Saint Grade Elixirs right before him, did he need to look elsewhere?
"Brother!"
"Master!"
"Dad!"
...
Outside, Zuo Liu was pacing back and forth, feeling very anxious. Zhang Menglong said it would take half a day, and by now, half a day had almost passed, yet there was still no sign.
Suddenly, a rich fragrance of light aroma filled the room, and a wave of powerful energy permeated the entire Shennong Hall, causing all the alchemists to suddenly open their eyes.
"This... Has a Saint Grade Elixir been birthed!"
"Our Shennong Hall actually has such a Master visiting?"
"I must go and pay my respects!"
...
The heavy door of the Alchemy Room opened, Zhang Menglong slowly walked out.
"Master, how did it go?" Zuo Liu asked expectantly.
"I’m sorry."
These four words made Zuo Liu’s heart drop with a thud.
"I only needed one set of materials to get it done, so I won’t return the second set to you," Zhang Menglong displayed a cunning merchant’s grin.
"Really?" As long as it was successfully refined, what did it matter if the extra set of materials was given to Zhang Menglong? He was more than willing!
"However, this elixir has some flaws. Although it can grant eternal longevity, it would freeze a person’s martial arts realm forever," Zhang Menglong said. "That’s not great, so I upgraded it for free. Now, this thing has no side effects."
