I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

【[ Protagonist Alchemy Halo ] : Among so many protagonists, how can there be any who don't know alchemy? Not only should you know alchemy, but must also refine the best pills! After activating the Alchemy Halo, comprehension of alchemy will greatly improve, significantly increasing the success rate, enhancing affinity and sensitivity to various flames and medicinal materials. There's even a chance to break through the original limitations of the elixirs and create perfect-grade pills! 】

Indeed, the system did not disappoint me.

Su Zhan smiled faintly and directly activated the Alchemy Halo. Immediately, the inscriptions and alchemical techniques that were completely incomprehensible before became extremely simple to him.

Moreover, various thoughts emerged in his mind, thinking, "This won't do, it can be even better." It seemed like his understanding of alchemy had surpassed that of Elder Huo!

After observing for a while, Su Zhan took out the heritage bead he obtained from the Xu family of the Flower Moon Kingdom. His spiritual power entered the bead, and he searched for information about alchemy.

The Xu family of the Flower Moon Kingdom was also a family with a thousand years of heritage and naturally had some knowledge of alchemy. Of course, those books were not considered very profound.

But Su Zhan didn't need anything too profound at the moment. What he needed was just to look at the pharmacology of various materials and some basics.

Under the effect of the Alchemy Halo, he absorbed and assimilated the contents of those books at an incredibly fast speed, grasping their contents in one glance or a thousand lines.

Half an hour later.

He turned to Elder Huo and said, "It's alright, you can step back."

"Yes, Young Master Su!"

Elder Huo's mind relaxed. Usually, he and Chen Ye collaborated in refining the Saint Qi Pill. It was quite challenging to refine such a high-grade pill alone.

However, now he saw Su Zhan actually reactivating the formation and using true qi to control the Saint Qi Pill from a distance. Elder Huo was startled, "Young Master Su, you can't do this! It will destroy—"

"Shut up!"

Su Zhan impatiently uttered two words.

The words Elder Huo was about to say immediately swallowed back, and he dared not speak further. Although he didn't dare to say anything aloud, it was evident that Elder Huo was quite displeased in his heart.

A brat like him thinks that having strong power is enough for alchemy—hmm?

That is… Innate Sacred Flame!

His gaze fell on the pendant in Su Zhan's hand, watching the wisp of flame flying out. Elder Huo's eyes widened instantly, and he was incredibly shocked.

In alchemy and refining, the flame used is of paramount importance. In this particular alchemy pit, it was using Earthly Fire combined with a kind of Spiritual Fire derived from a large number of fire attribute spirit stones and formations, allowing the refinement of Saint Qi Pills. However, Innate Sacred Flame is undoubtedly ten times, a hundred times better than this merged flame—a top-notch flame that countless alchemists and weapon refiners dream of!

But containers capable of holding Innate Sacred Flame are exceedingly rare in the world. And even if one manages to obtain it, it doesn't necessarily mean they can use it. Yet now, this young Master Su actually possesses such a treasure in his hand!

A greedy glint flashed in Elder Huo's eyes as he kept an unblinking gaze on Su Zhan's alchemy process.

However, as he continued to watch, he felt dumbfounded.

He initially thought Su Zhan merely possessed Sacred Flame, but now it seemed that Su Zhan's alchemy skills might be even stronger than his own!

Every step was flawlessly executed without any mistakes, absolutely perfect.

Two hours later, Su Zhan retrieved the Innate Sacred Flame and took the Saint Qi Pill back into his hand.

"I never expected Young Master Su to be an alchemy grandmaster! Not only did you complete the refining of the Saint Qi Pill in such a short time, but it's also of top-notch quality!" Elder Huo bowed respectfully, deeply shaken.

Medicinal pills are classified into four grades: Imperfect, Ordinary, Superior, and Peerless.

The same type of pill can have vastly different effects based on its grade. The reason Elder Huo had previously said that they needed to wait four or five more days to completely stabilize the Saint Qi Pill during refining was that he wanted to produce Superior-quality pills.

However, he didn't anticipate that Su Zhan would take just one hour to refine a Peerless-grade Saint Qi Pill!

Su Zhan held the Saint Qi Pill in his hand, his tone slightly cold as he said, "Didn't you just say it would take four to five days? It seems you're really not honest! Are you trying to tamper with the Saint Qi Pill during this time?"

"Young Master Su, please believe me! I would never dare to do such a thing!" Elder Huo hurriedly knelt down, exclaiming in fear.

"Then how do you explain the Saint Qi Pill in my hand?"

"I… I…" Elder Huo's face turned bitter.

How could he explain this?

Shouldn't it be me asking you that? Damn it, he managed to refine it in one hour, which is more effective than my one month! Wasn't it said that the experience of an alchemist is crucial, and generally, the older they are, the higher their alchemical attainments? He only looks like he's sixteen or seventeen years old, but why has his alchemy reached such a level, and without any flaws? Almost every step is perfect!

What the hell!

How can such a freak exist in this world???

Elder Huo felt extremely depressed in his heart and forced out a smile, "Perhaps it's because Young Master Su possesses the Innate Sacred Flame, which greatly speeds up the process?"

"That's indeed possible."

Su Zhan pondered for a moment, nodded, and then looked around. He found this place to be quite serene and said, "Alright, you may leave now and don't disturb me while I consume the Saint Qi Pill."

"Young Master Su wants to consume the Saint Qi Pill?"

"Yes, any problem?"

Su Zhan looked at Elder Huo with surprise.

Elder Huo opened his mouth, about to say something, but suddenly noticed the pendant in Su Zhan's hand that could release the Innate Sacred Flame. His heart stirred, and he shook his head repeatedly, "No problem at all! I will give the order not to let anyone disturb you, Young Master Su!"

"Alright, then leave!" Su Zhan said and swallowed the Saint Qi Pill in one gulp.

He sat down cross-legged to absorb it.

Seeing this scene, Elder Huo was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, and quickly left.

…

Not long after, Elder Huo's message reached the Golden Robe Elders of the Sole Sword Sect, and they gathered in a bamboo forest about thirty miles away from the alchemy pit.

The Great Elder, Nie Yuan, spoke with a solemn voice, "Elder Huo, are you suggesting that we unite to deal with that Su Zhan? That's impossible! You have been by Chen Ye's side all along, and you probably understand the terrifying aspects of Su Zhan better than we do!"

"That's right! Elder Huo, forget it. Don't throw your life away for nothing!"

"Elder Huo, I'm here only out of respect for you, but I'm not a fool. I won't participate in such a suicide mission!"

"Yeah, Elder Huo, you talked a big game, but even if that Su Zhan has treasures ten times more than you mentioned, we need to have our lives to take them!"

…

The Elders shook their heads one after another.

Elder Huo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can say this because I'm completely confident!

"Do you all know about the Saint Qi Pill? Is this the kind of pill that can be consumed by a first transformation of Fish Dragon? Of course, that brat has an incredibly strong physique. If he uses a special formation to slowly absorb the medicinal power for one or two months, it might be possible for him to completely consume it and break through his current realm!"

"But that Su Zhan, he actually swallowed the Saint Qi Pill in one gulp. It's really laughable!"

The more Elder Huo spoke, the more excited he became, laughing heartily, "Even Chen Ye needs to put the Saint Qi Pill into a special formation and absorb one-third of its medicinal power before daring to swallow it for absorption. Otherwise, apart from having his meridians destroyed by the medicinal power, there won't be any other outcome!"

"No matter how powerful he is, he's still at the First Transformation realm. Swallowing the Saint Qi Pill like that, isn't he seeking death? At that time, while he's injured by the medicinal power, we can all attack together and kill him with certainty!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Elder Huo's eyes.

"With such strength at such a young age, that brat must have many treasures on him. As long as I get that pendant containing the Innate Sacred Flame, everything else is yours!"
