"Why? This pill was crafted from medicinal materials painstakingly collected by His Highness over an unknown amount of time. We're only one step away from success!"
Jiang Li frowned.
If he were willing to sacrifice himself and forge the ninth pill, the Nine Pills Combined would form the Peerless Elixir that allowed ascension to the Eternal Heart. Success would be guaranteed.
In that case, even if he died, it would be worth it!
The ultimate honor for a warrior is dying gloriously on the battlefield, while for an alchemist, it is crafting a medicine that will be sung about for generations.
Just like Grandteacher Fu Jiezi back then, so too would he.
Death is not terrifying. As long as the pill can be formed, no matter the cost of blood and effort, one must not back down. This is what he desires most.
"I said no, and that is final... If you die, who will perform the Nine Pills Combined?" Prince Yuanqing shook his head.
