This Ninth-Grade Alchemist has already reached the age of eight hundred and seventy, even though he's revered as an Alchemist and has consumed many life-extending pills.
He has less than fifty years of life left.
This means that the Nine Rivers still need to cultivate a new alchemist capable of crafting the Nascent Soul Pill.
The first batch produced two pills, but their quality was not satisfactory.
However, these are Nascent Soul Pills.
Even if they are the lowest of the lower grade.
[Three months later, the second batch was completed, three pills were produced.]
[In the year 8258 of the Nine Rivers Calendar, the Ming River Sword Immortal consumed the Nascent Soul Pill for the second time, and failed again, damaging his foundation.]
The Nascent Soul Pill, in the end, is still of lower grade.
It gives hope, but not significantly.
But it's enough.
