With the wholehearted support of the three Great Holy Sovereigns, the other two Supreme Unity Dragon Scale Fruits soon reached Jiang Chen's hands. Jiang Chen easily refined two more furnaces of Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills, achieving remarkable efficiency.
Each time, he gave Zi Che Min about nine or ten pills, keeping six for himself. In this way, across three furnaces, Jiang Chen had secretly accumulated a total of eighteen pills.
For Jiang Chen, this was naturally a great haul.
He himself certainly had no need for them, but there were still many old acquaintances in the Human Domain, and their martial arts talents all had their limits.
If these Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills were to make their way to the Human Domain, they would be incredibly useful. Perhaps, in time, a few more Heaven Rank powerhouses could be created.
The Great Holy Sovereign moved with extraordinary decisiveness. Before long, envoys from the Eternal Holy Land were dispatched. Each envoy carried a Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pill, an invitation letter, and the Great Holy Sovereign's personal instructions.
The Great Holy Sovereign had laid down strict rules: upon their missions, if anyone was willing to offer a Supreme Unity Dragon Scale Fruit, the pill would be traded to them on the spot.
One Supreme Unity Dragon Scale Fruit could produce roughly ten Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills. This was a trade absolutely worth making—and incredibly profitable at that.
Within half a month, envoys had arrived at the Holy Lands of the other great divine kingdoms, delivering the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills before their eyes.
In an instant, the alchemy circles of every great Holy Land were shaken to their core.
The Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills were flawless—whether in luster, form, or aura, they were simply perfect.
Every alchemy giant in every Holy Land knew quality when they saw it. The moment they laid eyes on these Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills, they could not conceal their astonishment.
They pressed the envoys repeatedly about the origins of the pills. The envoys were clever people who knew exactly what could be said and what could not. So, with a good deal of embellishment, they described the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills as nothing short of miraculous.
These claims could not fool the alchemy giants, of course—but the pills themselves were more convincing than any words could ever be.
Moreover, the Eternal Holy Land had deliberately delivered the pills directly to each Holy Land and handed over the invitation letters alongside them. The message was crystal clear.
The Eternal Holy Land had developed a new pill and intended to hold a grand gathering to celebrate this occasion with alchemy colleagues from the Ten Great Divine Kingdoms.
A new pill—especially one in this domain—was guaranteed to cause a sensation. None of the Holy Lands could afford to refuse such an invitation.
They probed carefully and discovered that the pills could also be traded for, provided they offered Supreme Unity Dragon Scale Fruits in exchange.
Every Holy Land could produce several Supreme Unity Dragon Scale Fruits. Offering one for a trade would hardly be cause for heartache.
But almost immediately, they realized: perhaps the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills were related to the Supreme Unity Dragon Scale Fruits?
Even if they figured this out, the trade would still go through. That much was obvious. With pills this extraordinary, they had to secure at least one for thorough research.
In matters like these, the early bird caught the worm, and no one wanted to fall behind. So even though trading one Supreme Unity Dragon Scale Fruit for one Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pill was a slight loss, it was a loss they had to accept.
Meanwhile, the collection of ingredients for the Heaven Cauldron Pill proceeded with remarkable smoothness.
In less than half a month, all the ingredients had been gathered through various channels. As soon as Zi Che Min had them all assembled, he eagerly delivered them to Jiang Chen.
His trust in Jiang Chen was now absolute—unconditional and unwavering.
Securing the ingredients for the Heaven Cauldron Pill excited Jiang Chen greatly. The Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills, after all, were not particularly important to him personally—he had already broken through to the Heaven Rank realm.
But the Heaven Cauldron Pill was something he could actually use.
At his current stage, Jiang Chen would not let slip any opportunity to advance his cultivation. His anticipation for the Heaven Cauldron Pill actually far exceeded what he had felt for the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills.
He had not been particularly excited when the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills were completed.
But if the Heaven Cauldron Pill were successfully refined, Jiang Chen would be truly thrilled.
In terms of alchemy grade, the Heaven Cauldron Pill was indeed superior to the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills—it occupied a higher tier. The Heaven Cauldron Pill was a genuine Heaven Rank alchemy product, while the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills fell slightly short by comparison.
After receiving the ingredients, Jiang Chen followed his usual routine and did not rush into refining, even though he now had a relatively abundant supply of Heaven Cauldron Pill materials on hand.
These ingredients were far too rare. Though Jiang Chen had obtained a considerable amount, he had no intention of wasting even a sliver.
With such materials, every bit used was a bit less remaining, and Jiang Chen could not afford the slightest waste.
The refinement of the Heaven Cauldron Pill, both in its finer details and its overall process, was considerably more difficult than the Supreme Unity Heaven-Mending Pills. The difficulty was truly immense.
Fortunately, having broken through to the Heaven Rank, the refinement of the Heaven Cauldron Pill, while still demanding, was not so challenging as to leave him scrambling in confusion.
