I Shall Seal the Heavens - chapter-907

Meng Hao had returned to his Immortal’s cave residence. He already had
some idea as to what would be happening right now back in the Dao of
Alchemy Division, and some of those things were exactly what he wanted.

“My cultivation base isn’t good enough to help me rise to prominence
in the Fang Clan, but since they have their own Dao of alchemy, why not
rise to prominence there? That can make me just as popular and famous.

“The higher my status in their Dao of Alchemy Division, then the higher
my status will be in the clan in general.

“The Dao of alchemy…. If I could become the most powerful alchemist
in the Fang Clan, then I would definitely be super famous. When I control
the entire Dao of Alchemy Division, then finding out what happened to my
two Nirvana Fruits won’t be very difficult!” His eyes gleamed, and a
cold smile appeared on his face.

After a moment, Meng Hao closed his eyes and rotated his cultivation
base, as well as his Immortal meridian. The portion of it which remained
illusory was slowly becoming solid.

“I still need more time before my Immortal meridian is full and
complete. When that happens, I’ll be a true Immortal!” He took a deep
breath. Outside, it was gradually growing dark, and the moon had risen.
Meng Hao’s eyes finally opened, and he waved his hand, causing the ten
sets of ingredients for Spirit Elixir to emerge.

Meng Hao looked them over carefully, then examined the formula for a
while.

“This formula is pretty simple,” he thought. “Also, the Spirit
Elixir it produces won’t be very high quality.” Eyes glittering, he
produced the jade box and took out the Nirvana Fruits. After examining
them for a bit, he tried his hand at concocting the Spirit Elixir.

First, he made one batch using the method described in the formula. To
Meng Hao, that method was simply too basic. After concocting the first
batch, he decided to use his own method. He altered the formula a bit,
then produced a total of nine batches of Spirit Elixir, each one slightly
different than the others.

Then, he carefully dripped them onto one of the Nirvana Fruits one batch
at a time, and observed the various reactions.

He was immediately able to see signs of restoration on the fruit. By the
time the ninth batch of Spirit Elixir had been absorbed, the Nirvana
fruit was no longer cracked and wrinkled, and in fact looked wholly
recovered. It even emanated a splendorous light that strongly stimulated
the blood in Meng Hao’s veins.

He even had the mistaken feeling that he should immediately absorb the
Nirvana Fruit into his body. He quickly closed his eyes and suppressed
the impulse to try it out. After four hours, the Nirvana Fruit slowly
began to wither back up. By the time six hours had passed, it had
returned to its original dried-up shape.

“If I had actually tried to absorb it,” he murmured, looking at the
withered fruits, “then I would have been turned into a desiccated
corpse just now. A sudden and unexpected death.

“If I want to absorb these Nirvana Fruits, then I need to truly restore
them so that they aren’t dangerous. Of these nine batches of Spirit
Extract, the seventh was the strongest. It was around twice as strong as
any of the others.” He looked down at the final remaining set of
ingredients. After a moment of hesitation, a gleam of determination
appeared in his eyes.

“This formula still isn’t good enough. The medicinal plants used to
concoct the Spirit Elixir can actually be substituted with other
medicinal plants.” Meng Hao sank into contemplation regarding the
combination of medicinal plants. After enough time passed for an incense
stick to burn, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a Sun Blossom and a
Reincarnation Leaf, legendary medicinal plants that were extinct in the
outside world. After adding them to the formula, he began to concoct more
Spirit Elixir.

This time, it took him two full days to complete the concoction. When the
medicinal plants were finally refined into a liquid, he ended up with a
glob of emerald-green fluid about the the size of a fist, which he then
placed into a small bottle.

It was filled with dense Immortal qi, and because it contained Sun
Blossom and Reincarnation Leaf, it meant that this bottle was shocking in
terms of both quality and value.

Enduring the pain in his heart, Meng Hao produced the copper mirror and
duplicated it, then very carefully poured a single drop from the bottle
onto one of the Nirvana Fruits. It instantly returned to life, and began
to glow with scintillating light.

However, Meng Hao knew that the fruit had not truly recovered. He
continued to pour one drop after another onto the fruit, a total of one
hundred. When the liquid was completely absorbed by the Nirvana Fruit, it
gradually began to transform. Although it was difficult to describe the
exact nature of the transformation, Meng Hao was just barely able to
detect some sort of life force from within.

“It’s working!” he thought, his eyes flickering. However, his heart
then began to twinge with pain. Duplicating that single bottle of Spirit
Elixir had removed a distressing amount of spirit stones from his bag of
holding.

He clenched his jaw.

“It’s just a bit of money, right…?” he said through gritted
teeth, and then duplicated another bottle. Time passed. Five days.

“Dammit! Do you absorb Spirit Elixir or spirit stones!?!?

“Y-y-you’re… you’re still absorbing the Spirit Elixir!?!?

“It-it… it’s like I’ve fallen into a bottomless pit!!

“Argh, my spirit stones!!”

Meng Hao’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the Nirvana Fruit.
During these five days, he had depleted the number of spirit stones in
his bag of holding by half. He had duplicated an ocean of Spirit Elixir,
all of which had been absorbed by the Nirvana Fruit. The life force
inside of it was growing stronger, but there seemed to be no end in
sight. Meng Hao could clearly sense that it was thirsty to absorb more
Spirit Elixir.

If you calculated exactly how much Spirit Elixir the Nirvana Fruit had
absorbed, anyone in the Fang Clan would have been shocked. Furthermore,
that Spirit Elixir was of the finest quality. A few bottles might not
have been a big deal, but for most people, it wouldn’t just be a
problem of spirit stones; they simply would never be able to gather that
many medicinal plants. Especially not the Sun Blossoms and Reincarnation
Leaves.

“Only when it reaches the point that it can’t absorb any more Spirit
Elixir, will I know that it’s fully restored!” Meng Hao’s heart
dripped with blood, and he ceased duplicating the Spirit Elixir. He
quickly packed the Nirvana Fruit up and then closed his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again and then frowned.

“This isn’t the right method. I need to increase the Spirit
Elixir’s power. To do that, I need to replace all of the current
medicinal plant ingredients. If I can create an even more powerful Spirit
Elixir, that would be the best thing. Although it might cost more spirit
stones to duplicate on an individual basis, overall, I’ll be able to
save a lot of resources.”

Meng Hao took a deep breath and then rose to his feet, ending the current
madness of duplication and concoction. He was now preparing to make
another trip to the Dao of Alchemy Division, and figure out a way to get
the medicinal plants he needed.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the clan merit points I need….
However, that problem is solved easily enough.” Eyes shining brightly,
he turned into a beam of light that shot toward the Dao of Alchemy
Division.

People recognized him almost as soon as he arrived. That was especially
true when he reached Alchemy Lodge Peak #7191. The apprentice alchemists
there, including the old alchemist Fang Qun, immediately rose to their
feet excitedly, clasped hands, and invited him onto the platform.

Meng Hao didn’t decline, but instead took his place and began to
lecture about the Dao of alchemy, and even asked the apprentice
alchemists to go invite others to come listen.

“All of this is for the clan,” Meng Hao announced in a profound
voice. “I hope that, even with my meager skills, I can help to advance
our clan’s Dao of alchemy.” His voice seemed to be full of loyalty
and righteousness toward the clan.

The apprentice alchemists were getting excited, and immediately took out
jade slips to inform their friends, who quickly hurried over, and also
spread the word.

Over the course of the following four hours, the mountain peak came to be
surrounded by tens of thousands of onlookers, who packed together to
listen to Meng Hao lecture about plants and vegetation. Many among the
audience were people who had heard of the events that had previously
occurred, and were skeptically listening to Meng Hao for the first time.
However, after listening for only a short time, their eyes went wide, and
they were quickly absorbed in the information, seemingly entranced.

Meng Hao lectured for an entire day, after which he started to look a bit
tired.

“Ladies and Gentlemen of the clan, it’s not that I don’t wish to
continue, but I really don’t have enough time. I have to go do some
tasks for the clan. Next time I’m free, I’ll be sure to come back.”

No matter what the crowd said to try to get him to say, Meng Hao refused,
and immediately left the Dao of Alchemy Division.

Later, for no apparent reason, Fang Xi suddenly became interested in the
Dao of alchemy. He pulled some strings to get a chance to become an
apprentice alchemist, and went directly to Peak #7191, quickly becoming
familiar with some of the apprentice alchemists there.

In the following days, whenever Meng Hao returned, Fang Xi was in the
crowd. Every time Meng Hao showed up, it was evening, and he would only
talk for four hours before leaving.

Of course, each and every time, he would stop right at a critical moment
in the lecture, which made the apprentice alchemists even more excited to
hear what was next. He would always appear to really wish to keep
lecturing, but be unable to because of Clan assignments, and would leave.

On one particular occasion, he lectured for about six hours before
preparing to leave. It was at this point that one of the apprentice
alchemists called out in a loud voice.

“Fang Hao, isn’t the point of performing clan assignments to get
merit points? How about I give one of my merit points to you, and you
keep talking for two hours! What do you think?!” This apprentice
alchemist was none other than Fang Xi. From the look on his face, he was
prepared to go all out, to pay any price necessary to gain more knowledge
of plants and vegetation.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the surrounding apprentice
alchemists hesitated for a moment. However, there were a few others who
immediately voiced their approval, calling out to Meng Hao, who stopped
in his tracks.

“Oh, I don’t think that’s a good idea….” he said hesitantly.

“What’s not good about it!?” hollered Fang Xi at the top of his
lungs. “Fang Hao, your skill in plants and vegetation is so high that
even a tier 2 alchemist is no match for you! If you’re willing to
sacrifice your own merit points for the clan, and for us, then we’re
willing to do the same thing for you! If we weren’t, it would be a huge
shame for us!”

Other apprentice alchemists began to chime in.

“That’s right! Fang Hao, during these days, we’ve personally
witnessed the sacrifices you have been making for the sect, and for us.
We’re all very grateful….”

“Fang Hao, you’re a Chosen, and yet, you’re not arrogant at all! No
matter what questions we come up with about plants and vegetation, you
patiently answer them all! You deserve to get merit points from us!”

“That’s right! Anyone who refuses to part with their merit points
should just get the hell out of here! The most valuable thing in the
world isn’t bullying other people! It’s knowledge!!”

As the atmosphere in the area grew more passionate, Meng Hao’s face
filled with emotion. Finally, he took a deep breath and stood tall on the
platform, nodding his head.

“Very well,” he said, sounding determined. “Thank you for your
support, everyone. Since all of you demand this, then I will forgo any
service to the clan, and will instead personally impart all of my
knowledge of plants and vegetation to all of you!

“For two hours, I’ll charge only one merit point per person! Don’t
offer any more! If you do, I won’t accept!”

The surrounding apprentice alchemists all had strange looks on their
faces. Some were actually looks of disdain; how could people not have at
least some idea of what had just happened?
