NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 196: Everyone Is Satisfied, the Right Reward!
Chapter 196: Everyone Is Satisfied, the Right Reward!
The rewards from the Body List vary, but each one is unique, and none of the rewarded powerhouses are dissatisfied. This made the other ranked powerhouses increasingly anxious.
Kong Xuan: "The rewards for the top ten are this good, so even if the rewards for the later rankings aren't as great, they shouldn't be too bad. It's just that the speed of issuing the rewards is too slow."
Sun Wukong: "Why are you so anxious? You're ranked thirteenth; it'll be your turn soon. As for me, who knows when I'll get my chance!"
Taiyi Zhenren: "The rewards will eventually be distributed. Since the Body List is so generous, even bringing out fragments of the Creation Jade Disc and the Chaos Lotus, how could they skimp on your little reward?"
Tathagata: "Exactly, you all lack patience. If you want to cultivate patience, why not come to my Western World? I'll personally teach you."
While the various powerhouses were discussing, there was a brief pause in distributing rewards after the tenth ranking, but soon the rewards continued. Especially Shennong, who had been waiting for a long time, as he ranked eleventh.
Body List Rank Eleven Reward: Chaos Alchemy Technique
Sun Wukong: "Chaos Alchemy Technique? Just hearing the name doesn't sound that impressive. What's the point of alchemy? It can't be used in battle, and it doesn't increase power. It seems the rewards for the later ranks aren't that great!"
Shennong: "You, monkey head, are truly ignorant! You don't know anything!"
Laozi: "You must have forgotten where your copper head, iron bones, and fiery eyes came from! If not for the numerous pills that came from the alchemy furnace, how could you have obtained such powerful abilities?"
Sun Wukong: "Don't mention that! It infuriates me. If it weren't for my strong body, I'd have been turned into an elixir in that furnace long ago!"
Shennong: "The Chaos Alchemy Technique is much more powerful than you think. It can produce various potent pills that enhance divine abilities, assist in cultivation, and even directly grant magical power. Though it doesn't boost combat power, it's far more valuable to me than combat techniques."
Fuxi: "Indeed, Shennong is already skilled in alchemy. With the Chaos Alchemy Technique, he will surely become even more formidable. Refining powerful pills in the future will be an easy task for him."
Taiyi Zhenren: "The rewards from the Body List are perfectly tailored to each recipient. It's astonishing how flawlessly they match the needs of those who receive them!"
Ancestor Minghe: "Shennong receiving the Chaos Alchemy Technique is just like the others getting what they needed. When it's my turn, I hope I get exactly what I want!"
Erlang Shen: "What do you need?"
Chiyou: "He probably won't say before the reward is given. We'll likely know when his turn comes."
Nezha: "Great God Shennong, since you've obtained this Chaos Alchemy Technique, can I ask for two pills from you in the future?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva: "Me too! I won't ask for them for free. Let me know what you need, and as long as you can make some pills for me, I'll be happy."
Taiyi Zhenren: "Why are all of you like this? Shennong is so busy; he doesn't have time to make pills for you. Why not make some for me instead? Whatever you need, just let me know, and I'll get it done!"
Ancestor Minghe: "How can I be left out of such a good opportunity? I need Blood River Pills to enhance my cultivation. With Shennong's newfound Chaos Alchemy Technique, making these pills will be a breeze. If you can make them for me, I'll repay the favor!"
Sun Wukong: "Hey, why are you all asking for pills? I want some too!"
Shennong: "I just got the technique and haven't even started practicing yet. Your impatience won't help. Let's focus on what the next ranked reward is."
The rewards from the top rankings were of no use to others, as they could only watch enviously. But Shennong's situation was different. The pills made from the Chaos Alchemy Technique could be used by other powerhouses, and Shennong was already one of the most skilled alchemists in the entire Primodial World. Naturally, everyone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, hoping to benefit by negotiating with Shennong in advance, offering something in return for the pills.
The Chaos Alchemy Technique is an advanced alchemy skill that only a few in the Primodial World possess. While many of the great powers in the Primodial World can refine pills, creating those of extraordinary difficulty is not something they can do easily. Only a master alchemist like Shennong could achieve this, and with the Chaos Alchemy Technique, his skills would rise to another level. Once he fully masters it, no one in the Primodial World will be able to surpass him in alchemy.
Among the various powerhouses, many are enemies, but very few hold grudges against Shennong. Now, all of them want to form a good relationship with him so he can help them with their elixir needs.
After Shennong extracted the Chaos Alchemy Technique, two other presences in Huoyun Cave turned their attention to him. These two were Fuxi and Xuanyuan. The three of them were all in Huoyun Cave, and they weren’t far from each other. As soon as Shennong revealed the Chaos Alchemy Technique, he immediately attracted their attention.
With a smile on his face, Xuanyuan said, "Is this alchemy technique really that powerful?"
Fuxi, who had just received his own reward, had already tried it out and knew how extraordinary the rewards from the rankings were. Though there was only a one-rank difference between the tenth and eleventh places, the Chaos Alchemy Technique was unique compared to other treasures. Only someone with Shennong's expertise could make the most of it. In the hands of someone unskilled in alchemy, it would be no better than wastepaper.
After a quick glance at the Chaos Alchemy Technique, Shennong said to the two of them, "I've only just looked at it, and this technique is indeed formidable. It can be said to be an alchemical secret that doesn't exist elsewhere in the primodial world."
Xuanyuan happily replied, "In that case, we two should be the first to enjoy it. You can casually throw any pills you make our way!"
The three of them came from the same origin and were all in Huoyun Cave, close to each other. If Shennong were to make pills, the two of them would surely know about it. Although they were already very powerful, pills made using the Chaos Alchemy Technique were not comparable to ordinary ones, and both Xuanyuan and Fuxi were eager to try them. Only pills made from such advanced alchemical secrets could help powerhouses at their level enhance their strength. Ordinary pills wouldn’t even warrant a second glance from them.
