No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? Chapter 150 – Shocking! Shocking! A Non

Jin Nation Academy.

Outside the Pill Pavilion.

Everyone was looking at Ye Ping, thinking that he was too arrogant and conceited.

However, after Ye Ping refined the pill, their attitudes changed drastically.

Even if Ye Ping did not refine a non-poisonous pill, the way he managed to refine a pill out of nothing was enough to make the disciples shocked and amazed.

After Ye Ping handed the refined pill to Elder Xu Chang, he took it.

Just by touching it, Elder Xu Chang instantly felt like he had been struck by lightning.

He froze on the spot and was even a bit bewildered.

At this moment, his mind was blank.

As the best alchemist in Jin Nation, Xu Chang's alchemy attainments were naturally extraordinary. As soon as a pill appeared in his hands, he would be able to analyze the quality, effect, and toxicity of the pill in an instant.

As the best alchemist in Jin Nation, it was not a big deal to have such an ability, and in fact, any first-rank alchemist would be able to do it. It was just a matter of detail.

When Xu Chang touched this Foundation Establishment pill that Ye Ping handed to him, he instantly felt how extraordinary it was.

Firstly, it was the medicinal effects. The Foundation Establishment pill that Ye Ping just refined could increase the cultivators' probability of breakthrough by 40%. Besides, Ye Ping's Foundation Establishment pill contained surging spiritual energy.

In terms of the effects, they could be increased by at least 70% or even 80%. What concept was that?

It was a Foundation Establishment pill that could guarantee the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, it was far beyond that.

The pill was round, crystal clear, and emitting a pill glory. It was the best of pills, and once consumed, it would not only allow a Qi Refinement cultivator to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm but also have other efficacies.

Whether or not it was a non-poisonous pill, Elder Xu Chang had yet to find out. However, the efficacy and quality of this pill alone were enough to shock him.

Well, this supreme-grade pill was refined without any medicinal herbs or furnace and fire.

Ye Ping casually managed to refine a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. If he had refined it seriously, wouldn't he have made a divine pill?

Thinking of this, Elder Xu Chang came back to his senses and soon began to feel the efficacies of the pill.

All the disciples in the Pill Pavilion also looked at Elder Xu with anticipation. They were extremely curious about the effects of the pill that Ye Ping had refined.

The one thing that all the disciples were most concerned about was whether it was a non-poisonous pill or not.

Their eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity.

On the other hand, Elder Xu was trying to detect if there were any more effects other than increasing one's cultivation level.

“Vein protection!”

After just ten breaths, Elder Xu Chang understood what divine effect the Foundation Establishment pill that Ye Ping refined had.

The supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill not only allowed Qi Refinement cultivators to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, but it also had the divine effect of protecting one's spirit vein. Not only were there dual effects, but the impact of a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm would also have a great impact on the spirit vein.

The pill happened to be able to protect one's spirit vein, and it was simply a perfect Foundation Establishment pill.

Xu Chang knew very well that just by virtue of the current effects of the pill, the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill was worth at least 300 to 400 inferior-grade Spirit Stones. After all, Foundation Establishment pills were quite an awkward thing.

Geniuses did not need them and non-geniuses couldn't afford them either. It was impossible for those from wealthy families to be unable to even break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and hence, the prices of Foundation Establishment pills were not particularly high.

Cultivators who often spent a large amount of money on purchasing Foundation Establishment pills would end up having their tendons and veins damaged or be left with no choice. Otherwise, people generally wouldn't want to have such an item.

After understanding the efficacy of the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill, Xu Chang could not help but look a little nervous.

The reason being, he began to test whether it was a non-poisonous pill or not.

At the thought of this, Xu Chang couldn't help but look at Ye Ping.

“Ye Ping, true blue will never stain. It's the same for alchemy. In order to examine if a pill is poisonous or not and in order to determine its strength, the simplest method is to refine using pill fire.”

“If there is poison in the pill, the poison will diffuse on the pill, and that way, the pill will be considered to have been ruined.”

“Now, think about it carefully. Even a tiny bit of pill poison will make this pill ruined, Ye Ping, the fact that you can refine pills out of thin air is already considered a divine skill. There's no need to compete in the non-poisonous pill.”

Xu Chang told Ye Ping about the most direct method to test for a non-poisonous pill and that was to just test it with pill fire.

True blue would never stain.

It was the same for pills. The lesser the toxicity, the more it could withstand the burning of flames. Baking it with heat would make the toxicity greater and eventually the poison would spread and diffuse throughout the pill.

If one were to swallow that pill, the pill would become poisonous even if it was good in quality.

Hence, Elder Xu Chang couldn't bear to ruin the pill.

“Elder, please examine it.”

However, for Ye Ping, he did not refine this pill to prove that he could really refine a non-poisonous pill.

He just wanted to tell Elder Xu Chang that in the Major Chiliocosm, there was nothing strange, and there were no non-poisonous pills, not because they were impossible to refine, but because the alchemist was too incompetent.

Although this statement was ironic and offensive, Ye Ping had to say it for Xu Luochen's sake.

Indeed, after he said that, Elder Xu Chang did not say anything more than what should be said.

In the next moment, a purple pill fire appeared, which actually belonged to Elder Xu Chang.

The purple pill fire appeared and turned into a line, engulfing the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at the Foundation Establishment pill without shifting their eyes away.

Everyone was concerned about the result. Even Elder Xu Chang was feeling very conflicted now.

To be honest, he hoped that it was not a non-poisonous pill because he cared for his pride like all normal people do.

However, deep down, Elder Xu Chang hoped it was a non-poisonous pill.

Perhaps, others might not know what a non-poisonous pill meant but he did.

The non-poisonous pill was a milestone in alchemy. If anyone could make a non-poisonous pill, it would be an immense merit for the entire dynasty, or even for the whole immortal cultivation world.

The purple pill fire was burning the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment realm.

*sizzles*

*sizzles*

The sound of burning flames cackled. Although there was only a wisp of it, the temperature was extremely high and it seemed to be burning the void.

However, under the flames, the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pills that Ye Ping refined became even more transparent and radian. The pill brilliance was getting brighter and brighter too.

Time passed bit by bit.

Five minutes!

Ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes.

Two hours.

After two hours, under such a terrifying pill fire, the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill became increasingly brighter while the flames were blazing. It seemed more and more sacred.

“Non-poisonous pill! It's really a non-poisonous pill!”

A voice sounded, and at this moment, the people spoke up.

They all snapped back to their senses.

They were stunned!

Absolutely stunned!

They were extremely astounded and there was not a single sound in the Pill Pavilion other than exclamation.

The newly matriculated disciples were stunned.

The fourth generation and third generation disciples were also startled.

Elder Xu Chang was astonished.

Everyone was astonished.

No one would have thought that Ye Ping had actually refined a non-poisonous pill, and what shocked them even more was that Ye Ping had actually refined a non-poisonous pill so casually.

It… It… It was simply a miracle.

In fact, if one wanted to test whether a pill was non-poisonous or not, the result could be obtained by burning it in pill fire for about fifteen minutes.

However, after being burned for two hours, Ye Ping's pill not only was devoid of toxins, but it also became brighter and more radiant.

'If this is not a non-poisonous pill, what is it?'

“It's a pill that's like a dragon's eye and is shining brightly. Its fragrance spreads across five kilometers and is fearless of the pill fire… This is really a non-poisonous pill.”

Outside the Pill Pavilion.

Xu Chang's body was trembling and his hands were shaking together with his beard. His hair stood on ends and his eyes were wide open. He even forgot to breathe.

His heart was pounding wildly and beating loud like a drum.

Xu Chang was already old and frail. At this moment, his heartbeat was erratic.

However, that could prove that Elder Xu Chang was really shocked.

His mind was blank.

The appearance of the non-poisonous pill was like a bolt of lightning that opened up the sky and exploded in his mind.

It was unbelievable.

It was really unbelievable.

As an alchemist, Xu Chang knew very well what the non-poisonous pill represented, which was what countless alchemists had been seeking for their entire lives.

Anyone who could refine the non-poisonous pill would be considered the most honored alchemist in the whole world.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Xu Chang vanished on the spot and dashed toward the Academy Master's hall. In an instant, he realized what this non-poisonous pill meant.

He had to report to the Academy Master. He was covered in goosebumps because he knew what this non-poisonous pill represented.

It meant that within 500 years, no, within 300 years, no, within 100 years, the Jin Nation Academy could become the leading academy of the Ten Nations.

In fact… it was possible for Jin Nation to become a dynasty.

Great Jin Dynasty.

However, a moment later, Xu Chang turned around again. He returned to the Pill Pavilion, took out an ancient token which instantly triggered the ancient array hidden in the Pill Pavilion, directly trapping everyone there.

“All disciples, listen up, you are not to leave the Pill Pavilion. Anyone who dares to leave will be killed!”

Xu Chang said with an extremely serious expression.

The non-poisonous pill had too great of a significance and he was afraid that someone might leak the news. There were all sorts of people in the Jin Nation Academy and it was impossible for there to be no spies from rival nations.

Hence, he had to prevent the news from spreading immediately.

In the next moment, Elder Xu Chang turned to look at Ye Ping. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and walked directly towards the main hall of the Academy Master's place.

After Elder Xu Chang left, the disciples in the Pill Pavilion all looked at Ye Ping like he was a monster.

They all treated him like a monster.

Firstly, he defeated the third generation and fourth generation Senior Brothers. Secondly, when he was being imparted the Sword Dao, he gave the elder a pointer, allowing the elder to break through and comprehend the sword intent.

That wasn't all. Now, even the pill he refined was peerless.

'Outrageous.'

'What else can you not do?'

“Senior Brother Ye, I would like to ask, what else can you do besides refining pills?”

At this moment, Mo Xuan interjected. She was dumbfounded too. As a secret manual writer, Mo Xuan felt that she had learned something.

In the future, she would not have to come up with her own ideas for her secret manuals, she could just stare at Ye Ping.

“I know a little bit about array formations, but that's about it.”

Ye Ping answered seriously.

However, his words made them even more helpless.

'You are proficient in array formations too?'

'Cultivation, physical cultivation, Sword Dao, alchemy, array formations.'

'You are only in your early twenties, and you know so much, you're putting us to shame.'

Everyone was upset and were in fact in despair.

However, in the Jin Nation Academy.

Elder Xu Chang dashed towards the Academy Master's hall.

He was extremely fast and it was as if the sky was falling down.

“Academy Master, Academy Master, Academy Master, big news. Something major happened.”

Xu Chang's voice could be heard before he appeared.

In the Academy Master's hall.

Li Mocheng sat quietly in the hall with a composed expression, but his eyes were full of worry.

Such a terrible thing had happened in the Jin Nation, and to put it bluntly, if the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty really died, the Jin Nation might really cease to exist.

Hence, now that something even bigger had happened, Li Mocheng wasn't agitated.

However, as Elder Xu Chang spoke up,

Li Mocheng could not help but frown slightly.

Elder Xu Chang was an elder of the older generation in Jin Nation Academy, and in private, Li Mocheng had to address him as Uncle-Master. Now that Elder Xu Chang had pushed the door open and scurried towards him like a madman, Li Mocheng was astonished.

“Elder Xu, what happened?”

Li Mocheng frowned, he did not know what had happened, nor did he understand why Xu Chang was so agitated.

“It's a huge matter. Academy Master, hear me out. Put the entire Jin Nation Academy in lockdown and activate the internal array.”

Xu Chang's body was trembling and his voice was shaky too as he asked Li Mocheng to put the entire academy under lockdown.

“Elder Xu, what exactly happened? Why does it require such great lengths?”

Li Mocheng frowned.

There were Supreme Array Formations in the Jin Nation Academy that could lock everything and block enemies, but activating the Jin Nation Academy array could not be done easily unless it came to a time of life and death.

For example, if the Fiendcelestial Cult showed up at the academy. Otherwise, he would not put it on lockdown.

“Academy Master, I guarantee with my head that this matter concerns the future of Jin Nation and even the world.”

Elder Xu Chang sent a voice transmission because he dared not speak, for fear that others might overhear.

All of a sudden, Li Mocheng froze.

The matter concerned the future of Jin Nation, the Great Xia Dynasty, and the entire world.

'Must you be so exaggerated?'

Although Li Mocheng did not believe it at all, he knew that Elder Xu Chang was the most reliable elder of the academy and would not be fickle. Hence, he gritted his teeth and took out three ancient tokens.

In the next moment, there was a dull thud.

Golden array patterns appeared and spread out from the main hall, and in an instant, an array formation was activated. The entire Jin Nation Academy was in lockdown, and without Li Mocheng's permission, no one could leave or enter.

In the academy, the disciples and elders were stunned.

They did not know what had happened, but seeing the academy's array formation being activated, they knew that something major must have happened.

Otherwise, how could it have come to this point?

In the Academy Master's hall.

Li Mocheng looked at Elder Xu Chang with a serious expression and said,

“Elder Xu, I have locked the academy, but you must give me a proper reason. Otherwise, if the array formation is activated, the king will definitely sense it immediately and I'll be in huge trouble if I can't explain it.”

Li Mocheng said with an extremely serious expression.

The activation of the array formation was not a trivial matter and the king of Jin Nation Academy would definitely detect it immediately. Unless there was a reasonable explanation, the consequences would be terrible.

“Academy Master, look at this.”

Xu Chang didn't say much and simply took out the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pill that Ye Ping had refined.

The pills appeared and the fragrance of the pills filled the entire hall.

All of a sudden, Li Mocheng detected what it was.

“Supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill.”

There was a trace of surprise in Li Mocheng's eyes and he could tell at a glance what it was.

“Supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill.”

“Do you know who refined this?”

Elder Xu Chang continued.

“Who? Ye Ping?”

Li Mocheng was a little curious, but he quickly guessed who it was.

“Yes, it's Ye Ping.”

“Academy Master, this is a supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, it can increase the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm by 80%, and it also has the divine effect of protecting one's spirit vein. There are dual effects.”

Xu Chang introduced the supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to Li Mocheng.

Li Mocheng's face instantly turned sullen.

“Elder Xu, I respect you for your dedicated work in the academy for the past hundreds of years, but you can't get up to such nonsense.”

“Ye Ping is indeed an incredible genius and I was surprised that he could refine such a pill too. However, you have to lock the academy because of this.”

“Elder Xu, do you know what effect this will have on the academy?”

“Now that the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty has disappeared, we have to keep a low profile, and if I lock the academy, everyone will definitely notice. What if someone finds out about this?”

“Besides, what can a mere supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill do? Does it concern Jin Nation? Does it concern the Great Xia Dynasty? Or the world?”

“Elder Xu, you are really a bit impulsive.”

Li Mocheng interrupted Elder Xu Chang.

It was because he already understood what the other party meant.

However, Elder Xu Chang wanted to take Ye Ping as his disciple and show off his alchemy skills in front of Ye Ping. However, he didn't expect Ye Ping to be better at alchemy than him.

Although that was a good thing, the problem was that such a major thing had happened in Jin Nation now and so what if Ye Ping could refine pills?

There should be priority.

Usually, Li Mocheng would have been excited.

However, he was not in the mood to do so now.

Besides, he had put the academy under lockdown. All of a sudden, Li Mocheng regretted a little and was at a loss for words for an explanation.

However, after Li Mocheng said that, Elder Xu Chang stopped keeping him in suspense.

He looked at Li Mocheng and said, “Academy Master, a mere supreme-grade Foundation Establishment pill might be ordinary, but what if it's a… non-poisonous pill?”

Elder Xu Chang said.

“Non-poisonous pill? So what if it's a non-poisonous pill? Does the Jin Nation lack… a non-poisonous pill?”

“Elder Xu, what do you mean?”

Li Mocheng was a little furious and subconsciously spoke up. However, he soon froze in shock.
