Seeing that everyone was staring at him expectantly, Shun Long continued
''The second way would be to have uncle Jiang consume an extremely rare pill called the 'Heavenly purity pill'. The 'Heavenly purity pill' is an extremely rare rank 7 pill that will not only allow him to expel the corrosive power from his dantian completely, but it will even allow his cultivation to soar even higher.''
Jiang Tianfang's heart started to beat wildly, as his attention was fully placed on Shun Long.
Although he had never heard of the name 'Heavenly purity pill' before, if it was just a rank 7 pill like Shun Long had said, even if it was the hardest of the rank 7 pills, it should still be possible for him to acquire it!
After all, the central region had star-rank alchemists who were strong enough to concoct even rank 9 pills! How difficult would it be for those monsters to concoct a rank 7 pill?
Naturally, even Jiang Tianfang himself hadn't met with an alchemist that could concoct a rank 9 pill in his life, since those were experts who were standing at the absolute peak of the central region, but it was still a fact that those experts truly existed.
Even if Jiang Tianfang couldn't get in touch with one of those monsters, he should still be able to find an alchemist who had decent chances of concocting this pill successfully!
And yet, Shun Long had a serious look on his face as he continued
''However, I doubt that there are many alchemists who would be able to concoct this pill even if they had the recipe for it. After all, the main ingredient for the 'Heavenly purity pill' is a rank 7 medicinal herb called the 'Golden light flower'.
Uncle Jiang should also understand how rare a 'Golden light flower' really is. Among rank 7 medicinal herbs, not only is it among the rarest ones, but it's also one of the most difficult rank 7 medicinal herbs to extract its essence.
Even normal star-rank alchemists have a high chance to fail when extracting its essence.
However, even if an alchemist somehow manages to get their hands on a 'Golden light flower' and the recipe for the 'Heavenly purity pill', they will still be unable to refine the pill if they don't own an earth flame!''
Jiang Tianfang's hopes seemed to have instantly extinguished upon hearing the last sentence that Shun Long had said.
Indeed, this method wasn't any easier than Shun Long himself personally becoming a Dao Emperor.
Although Jiang Tianfang knew that normal people would never dare to claim that they would become Dao Emperors, Shun Long was already a junior that Jiang Tianfang had failed to fully see through.
To dare assassinate the crown prince of the Tang dynasty and even stand up in front of a Dao Emperor like Tang Wu without any fear, was already shocking enough for Jiang Tianfang to look at him seriously.
However, finding the root of Jiang Tianfang's injury with just a glance and even having a method to treat it was already something that even the star-rank alchemists that Jiang Tianfang had met in the past had failed to do!
Thus, Jiang Tianfang truly believed that Shun Long had at least some chances of successfully becoming a Dao Emperor in the future.
Of course, this was only some chances and nothing more than that.
After all, nobody knew better than him how dangerous it was to try and breakthrough to become a Dao King, let alone a Dao Emperor!
Even if Shun Long was talented enough, he couldn't guarantee that he would become a Dao Emperor.
No, it was actually even harder for a genius to successfully breakthrough and become a Dao King and later on even a Dao Emperor.
Jiang Tianfang could clearly remember the terror he himself had felt that day, nearly dying during his breakthrough.
And yet, Jiang Tianfang knew that the chances of Shun Long becoming a Dao Emperor were probably slightly higher than finding an alchemist who could successfully refine the 'Heavenly purity pill' for him.
Putting aside the fact that he had never even heard the name of the pill before, just finding an alchemist who happened to have the pill's recipe was probably going to be no different than finding a needle in a haystack.
Even if he searched throughout the entire central region, Jiang Tianfang didn't know how many years it would take him to find such an alchemist.
That alchemist not only needed to be a powerful star-rank alchemist, but according to Shun Long's words, he needed to have absorbed an earth flame inside his body as well!
Although some of the peak powers around the central region possessed an earth flame or 2, just like the Holy sect who was rumored to have 2 earth flames, Jiang Tianfang knew that none of those powers would truly allow their alchemists to absorb the earth flames!
Even though it was common knowledge that an alchemist would become much stronger upon absorbing an earth flame inside his body, and he would even be able to concoct pills with much greater success, the moment that an alchemist really absorbed an earth flame, then he would be the only person who could use the earth flame.
Those peak powers would much rather have the earth flames in a place where every single alchemist could make use of them, rather than having them in the hands of 1 or 2 of their alchemists then!
After all, if an alchemist who had absorbed an earth flame died, the flame wouldn't stay inside the alchemist's body and would patiently wait for someone to seal it, but it would return back to the earth, 'dying' along with the alchemist.
Thus, Jiang Tianfang knew that only a handful of the extremely old monsters or some very lucky people had truly absorbed an earth flame in their lives!
As for the 'Golden light flower' itself, Jiang Tianfang actually knew that even though that one was probably the easiest thing to find among the 3, the difficulty to obtain this specific rank 7 medicinal herb wasn't low even for an early rank 9 Dao Emperor realm expert like him.
Even locating the flower itself was an extremely difficult task.
Instead, Jiang Tianfang knew that he would be lucky if the flower was actually placed in an auction. Even though the price was very likely to be sky-high due to all the wealthy star-rank alchemists who would be competing for it, the one thing that Jiang Tianfang didn't lack was actually money!
However, even if he managed to obtain the flower and the recipe for the 'Heavenly purity pill', Jiang Tianfang knew that there was still a high risk for the pill concoction to fail.
Shaking his head, Jiang Tianfang didn't say anything else, but in his heart, he still decided to exhaust all of his channels and have them search for the 'Golden light flower'.
After all, the risk for a pill's concoction to fail was always there regardless of the pill itself.
..
In the blink of an eye 2 weeks had passed, as the 'Arctic blue bird' had already crossed the enormous continental sea and had finally arrived at the edges of the northern part of the central region!
