Is developing the formula for the Mystic Pearl such an easy task?
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace began to question the meaning of life.
As a leading figure in Taoism, Beichen Palace possesses the formulas for three Mysterious Pearls.
But the real core is the Golden Pearl.
There is a 50% chance of condensing golden bones.
It's only a 50% chance; not every attempt at refining will succeed.
About 80% of the gold pearls produced in a single batch are scrap.
However, Beichen Palace is skilled in divination and can pick out the best from the worst.
Only these high-quality items have a 50% chance of being found.
Zhao Jing told Beichen Palace that the Iron Profound Pearl refined using his formula would be 70% of the original Profound Pearl.
This significantly reduces refining costs.
The day when every human possesses martial bones is not far off.
Because of this, the Palace Master of Beichen Palace is willing to give up the treasure and make a promise.
Because the human race cannot lose Zhao Jing.
Any expert who considers things from the perspective of the human race will inevitably reach the same conclusion.
However, the Palace Master of Beichen Palace was thinking that Zhao Jing would be in danger and would have no choice but to ask for help.
Ultimately, he joined the Beichen Palace, where he devoted himself to refining the Xuanzhu and made great contributions to the human race.
Isn't that wonderful?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing had a trump card up his sleeve.
The Palace Mistress of Beichen Palace took a deep breath: "I'm all prepared. Is there anything else I need?"
After all, the recipe needs to be kept secret.
"unnecessary."
"It would be best for the Palace Master to take direct action and verify the truth."
"Here's the recipe."
Zhao Jing casually took out paper and pen, wrote down the recipe, and handed it to the Palace Master of Beichen Palace.
It seemed less like a formula concerning the future of humanity and more like a prescription casually written down by a doctor.
The Palace Mistress of Beichen Palace once again wore a puzzled expression: "You... you trust me that much?"
Zhao Jing smiled faintly: "The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water."
"The Palace Master is a trustworthy person; I believe in you."
That's not the reason.
Instead, Zhao Jing used a cheat code to peek.
Event 1: Flatter the Palace Master of Beichen Palace to gain higher favorability (White, 85%).
Event 2: The probability that the Palace Master of Beichen Palace will forcibly take Zhao Jing away and control him (Orange, 0.01%)
The combination of these two events demonstrates that the Palace Master of Beichen Palace is not a hypocrite; she genuinely believes in this theory.
Zhao Jing naturally intended to carry it out to the end.
A grandmaster is right in front of me. Even if I can't become her henchman, I should at least make her a neutral person with extremely high favorability towards me.
15 points of white dragon energy, worth it.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace originally possessed a state of supreme detachment from emotions, but under Zhao Jing's manipulation, his state experienced repeated ups and downs.
"I will give you an explanation after I have verified it."
Soon, the Palace Master of Beichen Palace accepted the new formula and took out the alchemy furnace that had been prepared in advance.
Superior-grade magical artifact: Starry Sky Cauldron!
This precious cauldron was specially collected from extraterrestrial stones by the Beichen Palace and forged over twenty-five years, absorbing the light of the North Star.
Even among the many alchemy furnaces in Beichen Palace, it would rank among the top three.
However, it is exclusively used for alchemy. Although it is a top-grade product, it is not as versatile as the Buddha Pagoda.
However, it has a shocking effect: it absorbs starlight to store energy and increases the success rate of alchemy.
With a loud bang.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace activated the Starry Sky Cauldron, and the entire alchemy furnace flew into the air. The radiance from billions of stars actually gathered on the furnace.
The Bashan Mountains were instantly illuminated as if it were daytime.
That's just too dazzling.
Zhao Jing finally understood why the alchemy techniques of Beichen Palace were unparalleled in the world.
He had heard of fire refining and water refining, but this was the first time he had ever seen light refining.
Generally speaking, starlight is cold.
But in the hands of the Palace Master of Beichen Palace, all the starlight converges here, becoming the energy for alchemy.
Boom!
The Iron Profound Pearl is not a complicated elixir; at most, it can be considered a spiritual pill.
Its sole purpose is to give martial artists an iron will.
Therefore, the refining process is not complicated and does not take long. With the help of a high-grade magic weapon, it quickly emits a buzzing sound.
A beam of starlight, as beautiful as a dream, shot out from the top cover, launching the Iron Pearl outwards.
All twenty-four Iron Pearls met the standards.
Before the Palace Master of Beichen Palace could even be surprised, the cauldron seemed to sense that the human race had taken a step forward in refining the Xuan Pearl.
hum!
When the 24 Iron Mystic Pearls were successfully refined, an extra Iron Mystic Pearl popped out.
The elixir has reached the highest grade!
This Iron Mystic Pearl has a 90% probability.
Good luck.
One batch of materials yielded 25 Iron Pearls, a record high in the history of Beichen Palace.
Normally, when they refine a batch of pills, 20 of them are scrapped, and only 4 can be sold as commodities.
It's astonishing that 25 can be made from a single batch.
Efficiency is increased by 5 times.
Zhao Jing discovered that fate exists in this world.
If the formula for the elixir is first developed and surpasses the world record, its effects will be excellent.
Generally speaking, under his influence, the Crown Prince's Palace could only produce 10 to 15 pills per batch. Only when the new formula was very effective would 15 pills be produced.
But compared to this, it's nothing.
It is evident that the Starry Sky Cauldron, combined with the intervention of a Grandmaster and the most advanced formula of the human race, produces extraordinary results.
Palace Master Beichen examined all the Iron Profound Pearls, his voice slightly hoarse: "These Iron Profound Pearls have at least an 80% probability of helping mortal bones condense into iron bones."
"As for this top-grade Iron Profound Pearl, the probability is ninety percent."
"This, this is simply the blessing of the Lord of the Stars."
I can't calm down.
Zhao Jing's ability to produce 70% of the Mysterious Pearl has already shocked the Beichen Palace.
They expended countless resources and even secured assistance, yet they still only managed to climb to a 50% success rate.
Each astronomical divination requires a large amount of mystic energy.
Every step forward, however small, represents a revolutionary advancement.
As a result, this little bit of progress was not worth mentioning in Zhao Jing's eyes.
Because Zhao Jinghun said nonchalantly, "That's very good. I wonder if the Palace Master could give me another jade pendant called 'Close at Hand, Yet Far Apart'?"
"How can you be so calm?"
A flush of excitement appeared on the face of the Palace Master of Beichen Palace.
Since she achieved enlightenment in her spiritual practice, she has rarely had such an experience.
As a result, Zhao Jing didn't take it seriously.
Who is truly so detached from emotions?
For Zhao Jing...
He experimented with 20,000 recipes and has now simulated the most perfect one.
This recipe for refining 80% of the Mystic Pearl is nothing but garbage.
It is utterly worthless.
This strange sense of opposition made the Palace Master of Beichen want to shake him awake and make him show some excitement.
But there was nothing there.
Zhao Jing replied, "Palace Master, rest assured, I will definitely be able to develop a better formula."
"Eighty percent is definitely not the limit."
The Palace Mistress of Beichen Palace tried to calm herself, her eyes darkening slightly: "Do you know what I was thinking just now?"
"I don't know."
"Arrest you and imprison you in Beichen Palace."
What?
Just as Bao'er was about to explode, she heard the Palace Master of Beichen Palace say in a low voice, "No one is allowed to hurt you."
"You are so important to me."
"Now this Iron Pearl can be used throughout the world, by the vast majority of people."
Even if we fail, the probability of death is not very high.
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "I am honored by your praise, Palace Master. Could you help me restore my kingdom?"
"cannot!"
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace said decisively, "Even if Yuwen Yi proposes an exchange, it will only stop Dean Liu for a moment."
"After realizing that she could not defeat me, she was able to fight Yuwen Huan, which is why she chose to stay."
"The situation is different now."
"If Yuwen Huan encounters a crisis, he will definitely advance to the level of a Human Immortal."
"He can kill me and Master Liu, but he will also die."
The Xuanwu Gate Incident was very brief.
The Grandmasters resonate with each other, creating a strategic deterrent.
After Kowloon was beheaded, the Palace Master of Beichen Palace had essentially completed his mission.
The reason why Master Liu has not appeared for so long is that he is waiting for an opportunity to severely injure Yuwen Huan.
He wouldn't have appeared if there hadn't been an opportunity.
Yuwen Huan's role was to protect and guide the eldest princess and Yuwen Yi, giving them time to grow.
Once the two advance to the Grandmaster level and simultaneously control the Imperial Palace's grand formation, they will be able to challenge terrestrial immortals.
However, Yuwen Huan's progress towards becoming a Human Immortal was delayed by Dean Liu.
But he always kept this trump card, waiting for a comeback.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace told Zhao Jing everything, adding, "The Eldest Princess and Yuwen Yi both have the destiny of becoming immortals."
"Although your interference caused fluctuations in his fate, and Yuwen Yi even went berserk with murderous intent, he had to temporarily heal his injuries."
"But the overall trend remains unchanged."
Yuwen Yi possesses Shen Changsheng's destiny bone, so naturally he has the potential to become an immortal.
The eldest princess was ambitious; although she only possessed the fourth-rank martial bone, she was the first female emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty.
In such a torrent of fate, they all have the opportunity to become immortals.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace chose three immortal beings instead of Zhao Wei.
Shen Changsheng was originally chosen by Heaven because he possessed the Heavenly Bone and had the potential to become an immortal, enough to influence the world's affairs.
Zhao Jing smiled upon hearing this: "A murderous aura running rampant?"
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace said in a deep voice, "First Yuwen Zhe died tragically, then Qiu Hong died tragically, leaving him to watch all of this happen without being able to come to the rescue."
"Yuwen Yi seems to have made a martial arts oath to protect those around him, but you have repeatedly injured him, turning it into a joke."
"Every extraordinary feat comes at a price."
"Although he can remain calm, it will take time for him to adjust both mentally and physically."
"Yuwen Huan had no choice but to help him suppress his inner demons."
Zhao Jing almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.
No wonder he chose to make a deal with the Palace Master of Beichen Palace instead of personally launching a manhunt.
It turns out it was a backlash from the Heavenly Killing Scripture.
Zhao Jing's lips unconsciously curled upwards, and then he asked, "Even so, why does the Palace Master believe that he still has the destiny of a human immortal?"
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace said softly, "He is also an exception. Even if his cultivation technique goes out of control, he still has a chance to break through and rebuild, and advance to the level of Grandmaster."
"It was for this reason that Yuwen Huan chose to stay in Yujing."
Zhao Jing still smiled warmly: "I understand, so this is just a transaction, and I don't want to make things difficult for the Palace Master."
With this good news, I have nothing to worry about.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace asked softly, "If Yuwen Yi were to advance to Grandmaster, would that be considered good news?"
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "Of course."
"Princess, Yuwen Yi needs to control the court and advance to the Grandmaster level. He doesn't have time to personally pursue and kill you. This is a good thing."
"If they disregard their pursuit of becoming Grandmasters and instead come after us, we can try to eliminate them beforehand."
"That's a good thing too."
Having occupied Yujing, they now face pressure from the entire world.
Regardless of what choice they make.
Zhao Jing had a way to deal with it.
After all, the Fate Bone can create low-probability events, such as when Principal Liu suddenly has a whim and ambushes Zhao Jing, killing Yuwen Yi and the Eldest Princess who are chasing after him.
A grandmaster can move the whole body by moving a single hair.
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace was silent for a moment, then took out the second [Jade Pendant of Instant Distance]: "I only have two, I'll give them both to you."
"If you encounter danger, you must never act recklessly."
"I will leave a portion of my power up there to save your life."
Even though the jade pendant is so close yet so far, it still requires a great deal of time and effort to craft, even for the main crafting team at Beichen Palace.
The other piece was originally intended for Tu Su.
Now she can only refine another piece.
"Thank you for the gift, Palace Master."
"Survival is more important than anything else."
The Palace Master of Beichen frowned: "If you weren't an anomaly, my first reaction would have been to arrest you."
"But fate is unpredictable, wouldn't doing this make things worse?"
"You still have a deity residing within you, as well as a Dao artifact."
"The moment I take control of you, you will probably choose to detonate the artifact."
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace can see all sorts of possibilities.
But the exception is the one that is difficult to decide.
The emergence of two anomalies in an era has put her in a dilemma.
The rational choice is to arrest Zhao Jing, imprison him in Beichen Palace, and use him to study the Xuanzhu for the human race.
If Zhao Jing were just a researcher, he could do this.
But he also possesses Dao artifacts and deities.
He can't win, but the probability of him self-destructing is extremely high.
Forcibly interfering with anomalies is never the best option for a grandmaster who is proficient in taking control.
So she decided to wait and see.
Just as the Palace Master of Beichen Palace discovered early on, Yuwen Yi might be an anomaly.
She let things take their course until Yuwen Yi had the ability to stir up a major trend, at which point she intervened slightly.
This intervention clearly has side effects.
That was the son of humanity, who might perish in a coup.
Observers of fate can only try to straighten out destiny and help humanity avoid turbulent times, rather than forcibly interfere.
After much deliberation, the Palace Master of Beichen Palace decided to provide life protection, but not to interfere excessively for the time being.
Zhao Jing's palms were sweaty.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Fate Bone's ability to predict probabilities, he would never have met the Palace Master of Beichen Palace.
In hindsight, he passed the test.
Zhao Jing bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master."
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace simply shook his head: "There are also the recipes for the Silver Mystic Pearl and the Golden Mystic Pearl here."
"It's all yours."
"If you need the alchemy insights from Beichen Palace—"
"Never mind, you probably don't need it."
Zhao Jing accepted the gift from the Palace Master of Beichen Palace, a faint smile appearing on his face: "Palace Master, if I were to develop a new formula, how would I contact you?"
Having finally gotten a chance to fleece someone, Zhao Jing naturally wanted to make the most of it.
Every now and then, a record is broken.
Let's see how many good things Beichen Palace has.
Beichen Palace remained silent, then took out another Star Token.
"With this token, you can contact me at any time."
"You absolutely mustn't die."
At this moment, Zhao Jing understood the bottom line of the Palace Master of Beichen Palace.
She won't directly help Zhao Jing, but if Zhao Jing has a chance to win.
Then she will give it a push.
That's enough.
Zhao Jing smiled slightly: "Everything is for the sake of humanity."
The Palace Master of Beichen Palace took a deep breath and came to Bao'er: "You are His Highness the Imperial Grandson's bodyguard."
"Being this weak won't do."
Bao'er looked unwilling, but she couldn't refute it.
She is too weak.
The sight of such a powerful figure looking down on her made Bao'er grit her teeth.
"So I'll give you another gift."
