Reaper of the Martial World

Book 12: Chapter 111: Long Enough (2)

Natural elixirs were the existences that originally inspired the birth of the elixir making profession. In fact, those of this elixir making profession called themselves alchemists as well.

However, humans and beasts alike realized many years later that it was impossible to match the heavens in the art of elixir making and their paths began to evolve. This was how alchemy transformed into traditional alchemy before ultimately evolving once more into array alchemy.

This said, though some pills could match natural elixirs in potency now, all of those pills were without exception at the very pinnacle of the god grade.

What did this mean? It meant that this Earl actually had the equivalent of several pinnacle god grade pills in his grasp right now!

To put this matter into perspective, a single half-immortal pill could already grant tens of millions of years of life to mortals. Just what then could a pinnacle god grade pill do, then?

With his breadth of knowledge, Dyon recognized this natural elixir with a single glance and his expression turned solemn.

The soul nurturing natural elixir was an amazing treasure. It had several heaven defying abilities.

First, it was able to raise the innate grade of a soul. The innate grade of a soul was the starting level a newly birthed child would have. On the mortal plane, this was practically disregarded entirely.

Dyon’s innate soul grade was at the 4^th level because he didn’t need to actively cultivate his soul to already be at the peak meridian formation level. The only reason his soul hadn’t been at that level when he initially entered the martial world was because his body was too weak. But, after his body strengthened, his soul easily reached that rank.

This was already absolutely shocking as it was thought that the absolute peak possible for an innate soul grade was the 3^rd, but Dyon was an entirely level above this.

This said, innate soul grades were even more important on the immortal plane and were not disregarded. If a mother drank this elixir while her child was in her womb, then the child’s nascent soul was raised by an entire grade.

Once this soul was raised by a grade, as long as the mother delayed giving birth, the immortal body of the baby would increase along with the soul, eventually reaching its level.

What did this mean in simple terms? It means that a baby meant to be born as a middle immortal saint would be born as a middle immortal celestial instead! A baby meant to be born as a peak immortal celestial would be born as a peak immortal law expert instead!

This ability alone could cause countless experts to battle to the point of annihilating entire clans. This was because even a person who wasn’t in their mother’s womb could still consume this, allowing the bottlenecks they faced vanish until the next realm.

There was a reason the soul wasn’t ignored on the immortal plane like it was on the mortal plane… It was too important!

Even aside from this main ability, these elixirs had many other abilities as well.

When coupled with an elemental natural treasure, it could assist in forming the highest-grade Soul Nature. It could heal any soul injury to perfection. It could take a soul wisp and nurture it into a full soul once more to create a perfect clone…

Its benefits to the soul were almost endless.

Still Dyon chuckled when he saw these three vials. After his solemn expression faded, he didn’t have the normal excitement others would have when in the face of this treasure.

Why?… Because he could tell that even if he swallowed all three of these vials here and now they would have no affect on his soul whatsoever!

Such a shocking reality made Dyon’s lip twitch. His previous anger pretty much faded after Cassius’ death and he didn’t even spare a hint of worry toward the consequences of his actions. At this point, he was nothing but amused.

He hadn’t worried about the lack of progress his soul was experiencing because he always assumed that he would eventually find treasures able to move it… But this was arguably the best soul treasure in all of existence, yet he could already tell that it was utterly useless.

When others were even in the vicinity of this treasure, their souls would already show signs of breaking through. But to Dyon, it felt like a small pebble had been thrown into an ocean.

Luckily, Dyon didn’t need to despair. After all, his soul had recently had a massive breakthrough after suppressing the energies in his body for many years. So, it obviously wasn’t impossible for him to improve, he would just have to take a harder path than others.

 This elixir also made him realize just how bad the Earl’s talent really was. He had been in the Immortal Essence realm, yet he had this treasure on him. This meant that he had likely been born a mortal and been one of the lucky few to break free and become an immortal.

Unfortunately for the Earl, all natural elixirs had one weakness: they couldn’t be used more than once by the same person. So, after entering the immortal realms, the Earl had already hit his ceiling.

‘Though it’s useless if I use it personally, this amount won’t go to waste. A single person only needs one drop, yet there are about 30 drops here. And…’

Dyon grinned. Then, he took out Reaper and Little Chibi. Who said natural elixirs could work on human souls?
