If anyone else saw this Tongtian Pill Pill Formula, they would be greatly astonished, because this is a Medicinal Pill specifically for Cultivators in the Blessed Land Realm, or more strictly, Cultivators at the Ninth Level of the Blessed Land Realm.
The Tongtian Pill has only one purpose: to open a Cave Heaven, which is to increase the probability of success when a Cultivator Breakthroughs from the Blessed Land Realm to the Cave Heaven Realm.
One must know that on the path of cultivation, as one's Realm becomes higher and higher, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance further, even a small Realm, let alone a major Realm; it is truly more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
This can be seen from the composition of the Wen Dao Sect's members.
Within the entire Wen Dao Sect, there are tens of thousands of Tongmai Realm Disciples, but only dozens in the Blessed Land Realm, and even fewer in the Cave Heaven Realm, with only the Five Peaks' Peak Masters and Elders.
Therefore, during a major Realm Breakthrough, even a slight increase in the chance of success is an extremely rare and sought-after opportunity for Cultivators.
Additionally, the Tongtian Pill is a Rank Three Medicinal Pill, and only Alchemists of Rank Three or higher can refine it.
Alchemists naturally have a Rank division, and the standard for division is simple: an Alchemist is of whatever Rank of Medicinal Pill they can refine.
However, the advancement of an Alchemist's Rank is much more difficult than the advancement of one's cultivation Realm.
For example, in the vast Wen Dao Sect, there is only one Alchemist, and he is only Rank Two, but even so, this Alchemist's status within the entire Wen Dao Sect is extremely transcendent, even on par with the Five Peaks' Peak Masters.
As for a Rank Three Alchemist, even the Wen Dao Sect Sect Master would have to be respectful upon meeting him, and he might not even bother to acknowledge them.
It is conceivable how great the value of this Tongtian Pill is; it is extremely rare on the market, and once it appears, it will inevitably cause countless Blessed Land Realm Cultivators to vie for it.
Seeing Jiang Yun put down the Jade Slip, his expression still calm, Old Hei quickly asked, “Jiang Laodi, do you have the confidence to refine this Tongtian Pill?”
Jiang Yun pondered and said, “The Materials ratio recorded in the Pill Formula is very detailed, so theoretically it can be refined, but I have never refined it before, so I will definitely need to try several times.”
In fact, although Old Hei asked Jiang Yun for help with Alchemy, he didn't hold too much hope, after all, Jiang Yun's age and cultivation were too young.
Furthermore, even a genuine Rank Three Alchemist does not have absolute confidence in successfully refining the Tongtian Pill.
But now, hearing the clear confidence in Jiang Yun's words, he couldn't help but start to wonder again, is this kid just bragging?
“Jiang Laodi, although I don't understand Alchemy, I heard that the higher the Rank of the Medicinal Pill, the more complex the refining process, and I have also seen the Pill Formula for this Tongtian Pill; there are more than thirty steps alone, and if even one of them fails, it will all be for naught!”
Hearing this, how could Jiang Yun not understand Old Hei's doubts about him? He wasn't angry and said with a smile, “Old Hei Big Brother, you are right, but in reality, no matter the Rank of the Medicinal Pill, or how complex the refining methods and steps are, at their root, they all lead to the same destination.”
Old Hei's heart stirred slightly, because these words seemed to make him understand something, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Looking at Old Hei's expression, Jiang Yun knew that he still didn't believe his words, so after thinking for a moment, he suddenly pulled out two branches from the pile of Materials in front of him.
One branch had only a single leaf, while the other branch had dozens of leaves.
“Old Hei Big Brother, look at these two branches. The one with only one leaf is like a Rank One Medicinal Pill, and the other branch is like a Rank Three Medicinal Pill. It looks lush and complicated, but in reality, there is no difference between the two.”
“All leaves grow on branches, and all branches grow on tree trunks, and all tree trunks grow from roots.”
“Alchemy is also like this; no matter how complex the steps, they are all accumulated little by little from the most basic steps. As long as the basics are mastered, then it is not a problem.”
“In short, it is eight characters — Trace the source, simplify the complex!”
While speaking, Jiang Yun gently flicked his wrist, and all the leaves on the two branches fluttered down, leaving only the two bare branches in his hand.

Seeing this scene, a light suddenly shone in Old Hei's eyes, and then, he actually stood up, cupped his fists, and bowed deeply to Jiang Yun, saying, “The words you spoke today, my dear brother, have greatly benefited me. Thank you!”
Jiang Yun was startled and quickly stood up, holding Old Hei's body with both hands, saying, “Old Hei Big Brother, what are you doing? These words weren't spoken by me, my grandfather told them to me. If you want to thank someone, go thank my grandfather, don't thank me.”
Old Hei nodded heavily and said, “Good, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit your esteemed grandfather!”
Jiang Yun smiled and said, “Okay, as long as Old Hei Big Brother is willing, I'll take you there in the future!”
In Jiang Yun's opinion, this was just a joke from Old Hei, but in Old Hei's heart, he truly felt reverence for Jiang Yun's grandfather.
Leaving aside the fact that the other party could cultivate a young Jiang Yun into an Alchemist, just this principle of tracing the source and simplifying the complex, which seems simple, is actually very, very rarely achieved.
Jiang Yun had clearly achieved it, at least in terms of Alchemy; in his heart, there was no distinction between simple and complex at all.
Just as he said, no matter how complex the refining methods and steps are, they all start from the simplest steps.
“Old Hei Big Brother, I haven't done Alchemy for a while, and you happen to have enough Materials here. I want to try refining a Tian Qing Dan first, to warm up, and then I'll start trying to refine the Tongtian Pill.”
“Whatever Jiang Laodi says goes!”
Next, Jiang Yun stopped talking, raised his wrist, and a fireball flew under the stone pot, igniting the branches. Then, he reached out and took out various Materials, adding them to the pot in an orderly manner.
Old Hei also closed his mouth, but his eyes remained fixed on Jiang Yun.
The more he watched, the more Old Hei admired Jiang Yun and Jiang Yun's grandfather.
“Jiang Laodi's grandfather must be a highly skilled individual. It seems that what he taught Jiang Laodi were the most basic things, but they were also the most useful things, and they laid an extremely solid foundation for Jiang Laodi in the Dao of Alchemy.”
“If one day, Jiang Laodi's cultivation is high, and he has a superior Pill Cauldron or Pill Furnace engraved with Formations, then in this world, there will probably be no Medicinal Pill he cannot refine!”
Every movement Jiang Yun made, every step he took, was like flowing clouds and water, without the slightest stagnation, even giving people a visual enjoyment.
Clearly, Jiang Yun had repeated such Alchemy countless times, and he could probably even complete the entire process with his eyes closed.
At this moment, Old Hei really wanted the several arrogant Alchemists he had met to come and see this scene with their own eyes.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, with only the Tongmai Realm cultivation, could refine Medicinal Pills that Cultivators dreamed of, using a simple stone pot!
If this were to spread, who knows how many Alchemists would be ashamed.
