Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Editor: Henyee Translations

Naturally, this Guild of independent cultivators didn’t prioritize bloodlines or family ties, making it open and welcoming.

These factors allowed Shen Ruyan to achieve such a high status and receive excellent treatment within the Scatterstar Guild.

The opportunity for her to join the Scatterstar Guild was thanks to the elderly woman before her, known as Senior Su.

“Ruyan, you go ahead and continue with your work. I’ll take my leave,” Senior Su said with a satisfied smile after their conversation.

Shen Ruyan nodded and watched Senior Su leave before returning to her cave to continue her cultivation. This was Shen Ruyan’s life now.

She had been consistently seeking news of Jiang Chengxuan through the Scatterstar Guild, but in the vast Immortal Domain, finding someone was like searching for a needle in a haystack. All she could do was wait silently.

…

In the Thousand Stars Alchemy Guild, outside a cave in the northern Guild area, five figures were waiting. Soon, the cave’s barrier shimmered and lifted, revealing the familiar and smiling figure of Zhou Xuanyu.

Today, after being informed by Zhou Xuanyu that everything was ready, Jiang Chengxuan came without delay to help him refine the Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill.

Lan Yu and the others, not wanting to miss the excitement, joined to witness Jiang Chengxuan’s alchemy skills.

“Brother Jiang, everyone, welcome,” Zhou Xuanyu greeted with clasped hands, leading them into his cave after their courteous replies.

The cave was similar to Jiang Chengxuan’s but had a more worldly feel, thanks to Zhou Xuanyu’s arrangements.

They soon reached Zhou Xuanyu’s alchemy room, which impressed Lan Yu and the others with its clarity and tranquility, aiding in the alchemist’s focus.

“Brother Jiang, here is the recipe for the Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill, and in this storage ring are three sets of materials. I’m deeply grateful for your help,” Zhou Xuanyu said, his expression serious as he handed Jiang Chengxuan the items.

Jiang Chengxuan received them with equal solemnity, replying, “I will do my utmost.”

With the preliminaries done, Zhou Xuanyu and Lan Yu’s group moved to the edge of the alchemy room, giving Jiang Chengxuan space.

Jiang Chengxuan closed his eyes, adjusting his state of mind to its peak. He then began studying the pill recipe, the foundational step in alchemy.

Each recipe encapsulated the wisdom of countless predecessors, and understanding it was as challenging as cultivating a new technique.

The recipe for a celestial pill, like the Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill, involved intricate rules and patterns. Without comprehending them, successful refinement was impossible.

Lan Yu and the others stood in silence, waiting anxiously, aware that this process could take a long time or be very quick, depending on the alchemist’s experience and insight.

Time passed, and five days later, just as Lan Yu and the others were about to step outside for a break, Jiang Chengxuan’s breathing steadied, and he emerged from his contemplative state, having fully grasped the recipe.

“Brother Jiang? Did something go wrong?” Zhou Xuanyu asked cautiously, seeing Jiang Chengxuan’s sudden movement.

Jiang Chengxuan shook his head, saying, “I’ve fully understood the recipe.”

This declaration shocked Lan Yu, Zhou Xuanyu, and the others. Understanding a completely new celestial pill recipe in just five days was astonishing.

Their reactions were a mix of awe and disbelief. Even Lan Yu, who was proficient in alchemy, took longer to understand an eighth-level pill recipe.

Zhou Xuanyu himself had spent four months deciphering the Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill recipe. Jiang Chengxuan’s speed made them question their own abilities as alchemists.

What they didn’t know was that Jiang Chengxuan’s vast experience with celestial pill recipes far surpassed theirs.

The sheer volume of recipes he had encountered in the Celestial Pill Compendium gave him an unparalleled advantage.

Regardless, Zhou Xuanyu didn’t doubt Jiang Chengxuan. As Jiang Chengxuan retrieved his Mountain and Sea Furnace, Zhou Xuanyu reminded him, “In those three furnaces over there are the nine different celestial flames required.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded, looking towards the three large furnaces emitting distinct auras. The Nine-Turn Scarlet Fire Pill needed not just the celestial herbs but also these nine unique celestial flames.

With everything ready, Jiang Chengxuan placed the Mountain and Sea Furnace before him, channeling his powerful immortal energy into it, initiating the ancient technique of Unity with Heaven and Earth. This technique established a mystical connection between Jiang Chengxuan and the furnace, enhancing his control and perception.

In a stunning display, Jiang Chengxuan’s powerful immortal energy drew the flames from the three distant furnaces, accurately directing them into the Mountain and Sea Furnace.

The celestial flames roared violently but remained in harmony under his control, each occupying its space without interfering with the others.

Lan Yu and the others watched in amazement, even Zhou Xuanyu, an accomplished alchemist himself, couldn’t help but admire Jiang Chengxuan’s exceptional fire control.

Jiang Chengxuan’s task wasn’t finished. He gestured again, summoning three more celestial flames from the remaining furnaces. The flames traveled through the air, creating brilliant arcs before merging into the Mountain and Sea Furnace.

The furnace erupted with intense heat, waves of energy radiating outward, but Jiang Chengxuan’s mastery over the flames kept them balanced and controlled.

The audience watched with bated breath, realizing the difficulty of simultaneously managing six celestial flames—a feat requiring unparalleled expertise in fire control.

After a brief but intense moment, Jiang Chengxuan’s immortal energy, combined with the formidable power of the Mountain and Sea Furnace, subdued the six celestial flames, stabilizing the process.

With the initial intense heat subsiding, Lan Yu, Zhou Xuanyu, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. However, they knew the real challenge was yet to come.
