Realm-Hopping Martial Master

However, it seemed that in a few years, he would be ready.

Rising from the secret chamber, Jiang Shu, carrying his battle saber, headed to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm in Jiangnan City. He had no choice; his credits were about to be depleted again. Moreover, the Alchemy AI's algorithm was almost perfected. It was time to replenish a great deal more Third Rank Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicines. Using the credits from the Martial Artists Alliance to exchange for them... Too expensive! The commission here is outrageous! Unable to help himself, Jiang Shu shook his head and drove off.

For the following period, he entered a mode of frantic Slaughter. New Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicines and materials from Mutant Beasts were all brought out by him and sent to the lab. Only duplicates were handed over to the Martial Artists Alliance in exchange for credits. His ranking on the Grandmaster list was also steadily improving, successfully climbing from sixty-eighth to the twenty-third spot.

「At the end of 2028.」

Analyses of Elixir Recipes were transmitted over WeChat. Once the Alchemy AI had collected enough Third Rank Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicines and Mutant Beast materials, Jiang Shu began to use his understanding of Alchemy to create his own Elixir Recipes. Generally speaking, only a Grade Refining Alchemist could create Middle Grade Elixir Recipes. But who would have thought Jiang Shu had an AI backing him! In just three short days, Jiang Shu selected the Elixir Recipe with the highest success rate and officially began Alchemy. All the materials were ready.

His first attempt: failure!

His second attempt: failure!

His third attempt: failure!

His fourth attempt: success!

When Refining low-grade Elixirs, Jiang Shu's success rate was extremely high, as he used his True Strength to control the heat. Now, he was Refining Middle Grade Elixirs, specifically the notably superb Extreme Fire Yang Gang Pill. For this, the Small Achievement Level of his Vermilion Bird True Strength and Azure Dragon True Strength was clearly inadequate. Luckily, both types of True Strength were among the most powerful and profound within Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques. Coupled with the top-grade Pill Furnace, he was able to succeed on the fourth attempt. Otherwise, he might have tried ten times without a single success.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shu glanced at the Elixirs in the Pill Furnace, his brows slightly furrowing. The Elixirs had indeed been Refined, and their fragrance filled the air. However, their quality was clearly just ordinary. Glancing at the corner, he saw there were still materials for three more Elixir Recipes. Jiang Shu closed his eyes to rest for a while. If he was going to practice Alchemy, he had to do it to the best of his ability!

His fifth attempt: failure!

His sixth attempt: failure!

These two deliberate failures were intended to reveal more deficiencies to be remedied. Jiang Shu was no longer afraid of wasting materials. As long as he could Refine a better Elixir—one that could detoxify and enhance strength—that was more important than anything. Taking another deep breath, he concentrated his entire Spirit.

His seventh attempt: success!

A familiar yet more potent fragrance of Elixirs spread through the secret chamber. Jiang Shu's tightly knitted brows suddenly smoothed out. He opened the Pill Furnace with one hand, guiding his Vermilion Bird True Strength into it. A flame-red Elixir lay quietly in his hand: the Extreme Fire Yang Gang Pill.

Returning to his room, Jiang Shu first caught up on some sleep. After waking, he performed the Guiding Skill, move by move, bringing his body's essence, energy, and Spirit to their optimal state. Then, he sat cross-legged and swallowed the Extreme Fire Yang Gang Pill in his hand.

Currently, his Azure Dragon True Strength was at small success. His White Tiger True Strength was at small success. His Vermilion Bird True Strength was at small success. His "Four Symbols Internal Energy" was at small success, only lacking Xuanwu True Force to complete it. Upon taking this Elixir, the Xuanwu True Force would be released. By then entering a specific Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, he could easily bring it to small success within a month. He dared not imagine how much his power would improve!

The medicinal power, guided by his Azure Dragon True Strength, gradually entered his kidneys, mingling with the Cold Poison. The Xuanwu True Force then smoothly receded. After a brief interaction, the Azure Dragon True Strength seized the opportunity to enter, encircling the potent heat and cold, forming them into a Tai Chi pattern. The dominance of the Extreme Fire Yang Gang Pill and the chill of the Cold Poison perfectly fused at this moment, its potency far exceeding that of ordinary Middle Grade Elixirs.

Jiang Shu's eyes remained slightly closed. Every movement and stillness within his body was under his control. His Azure Dragon True Strength, encircling this extremely potent medicinal energy formed by the fusion of heat and cold, gradually moved it towards his spleen. Currently, he could Refine his heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys using his profound True Strengths. The only exception was the spleen. Although it had already been Refined once with Hungry Tiger's Howl True Strength and Transformation True Strength, that Refinement was too crude. It was just like in the Skin Grinding Realm: Refining cowhide was considered skin grinding, and Refining ironhide was also skin grinding, but the difference between the two was like heaven and earth! Now, taking advantage of this Yin-Yang medicinal power, he Refined his spleen once more!

A vast amount of medicinal power surged into his spleen. Jiang Shu could directly feel his connection with the earth growing stronger. A quarter of an hour passed, then another. The medicinal power was completely absorbed! The Refinement of his spleen had now even surpassed that of his heart, liver, and lungs.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Liang Tingbo could never have imagined that the person he targeted, though lacking the Acupoint Passage Realm, had achieved a level in Alchemy comparable to him, a Grade Refining Alchemist! Individual knowledge, when compared to an AI, is always somewhat lacking. It's just a shame that my Alchemy Skill is limited, and my cultivation Realm is only Organ Refinement. If I could use Fourth Rank Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicines to Refine Elixirs, and if the Cold Poison inside me were a bit stronger, the Refinement of my spleen could probably reach true perfection! That would be enough for me to cultivate to the Blood Exchange Realm and Break the Limit of my 'Four Symbols Internal Energy'!
