Chapter 1387 - 517: Fiery Fire Flying Star (3)
After each collision, the color of the "Desire Pill" becomes brighter."Understood, Mr., this is the Fiery Fire Flying Star, tempering the Desire Pill."
Alchemist Bai Lu immediately understood—previously in the Alchemy World, it was believed that to refine high-grade elixir pills, one must introduce more powerful Heavenly Fires. Heavenly Fires have spirits, and they intertwine with the spirit within the materials to become an elixir of excellent quality.
However, this statement is now contradicted by the scenes observed by Zhou Xuan.
Alchemist Bai Lu said, "If we infer from this scene, besides utilizing strong Heavenly Fire, it is more crucial for this high-grade elixir to have very few impurities in the Desire Pill itself?"
The Fiery Fire Flying Star inside the furnace, with each collision, is striking out the impurities within the Desire Pill. If the Desire Pill itself has fewer impurities, the number of strikes needed is less, and the elixir will form faster.
"That’s the idea."
Zhou Xuan added: "Moreover, there’s another point, although the Desire Pill has an incredibly hard texture, enduring the chiseling of the Fiery Fire Flying Star, it will still get slightly damaged if the chiseling is too frequent."
He saw extremely fine cracks appearing on the wall of the Desire Pill inside the furnace.
Hence, he concluded—the fewer the collisions on the Desire Pill, the better.
Only when the Desire Pill has sufficiently few impurities will require fewer strikes from the Heavenly Fire.
"These are all profound knowledge."
Alchemist Bai Lu was diligently studying, and Zhou Xuan was watching attentively. Only Monk Tiancan was listening as if it were a Heavenly Book, hearing Zhou and Bai chatter, yet not understanding what they were saying.
"Is this the world seen by top-tier geniuses in alchemy?"
Monk Tiancan had initially wanted to learn a trick or two from the alchemy conversation between the two, not expecting to master the Alchemy Dao, but hoping that next time, when he visited another fire pit and encountered those alchemists, he could boast some alchemy knowledge.
But now—he feels he learned nothing, and the knowledge exchanged between the two, spoken openly as if encrypted.
He listened and felt drowsy, sitting cross-legged and dozing off until he heard some shouting,
"Monk Tiancan, you’re supposed to guard the pill, but you’re sleeping here?"
Monk Tiancan hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the Eternal Life Sect Leader.
"Sect Leader, it’s not that I’m being lazy, but the knowledge shared by Master Zhou and Alchemist Bai is too complex and profound, hence causing my sleepiness."
Monk Tiancan said with a bitter face, which evoked laughter from the Eternal Life Sect Leader.
Zhou Xuan saw the Eternal Life Sect Leader and asked, "Little Chang Sheng, where have you been? Your mood seems quite good?"
"Not just good, exceptionally great."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader immediately bowed deeply at ninety degrees to Zhou Xuan, saying: "Congratulations, Master Zhou, this batch of pills has greatly contributed to the Heavenly Dome."
"What happened?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"The Joyful Longevity Pill, although not yet appraised by the Dan Supervisor, Qingyang Yu Palace Master has already concluded that this batch of pills has broken through the Ninth Grade, just a line away from Eighth-grade Elixirs."
"Ah?!"
Zhou Xuan was not surprised, but Monk Tiancan exclaimed with a wide-open mouth, asking busily: "Sect Leader, did you hear it correctly? Truly near Eighth-grade elixir pills?"
"Are you doubting my ears?" The Eternal Life Sect Leader retrieved the rattle from beside the pill furnace, shook it twice, and said: "I’m a Shaman, possessing divine skills, most of which are in my ears. My hearing is unmatched."
"Doesn’t that mean... hehehe... hehehe..." Monk Tiancan seemed to think of something good, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhou Xuan involuntarily stepped back and asked the Eternal Life Sect Leader: "Little Chang Sheng, are all your Heavenly Dome people like this? Isn’t this pure lunacy?"
"Master Zhou, rest assured, I know what Monk Tiancan is happy about." The Eternal Life Sect Leader laughed and said: "I spent fifteen Joyful Longevity Pills to hire this fool to guard the pill,
He picked up fifteen near Eighth-grade elixirs for no reason, isn’t it natural to be happy."
"I said you Heavenly Dome folks don’t have pure friendship."
After Zhou Xuan critiqued, he asked again: "Little Chang Sheng, with such a great achievement from my batch of pills, what rewards does the Heavenly Dome have?"
"That, I don’t know yet, however, after the Dan Supervisor appraises the pills in a few days, rewards should be distributed."
"Mm." Zhou Xuan nodded, not urgently needing the reward in a day or two, the key was, his second batch of pills is the true deal.
The Eternal Life Sect Leader also said, "By the way, Master Zhou, there are a few things I forgot to mention."
"What is it?"
"I went to extort the Zoroastrianism Xian Nu, and aside from giving me two well-rated elixirs, he also gave me a Land Walking Pill."
Zhou Xuan asked, "What grade is this elixir?"
"Fourth-grade!"
"Hehehe... he... hiccup..."
On the side, Monk Tiancan was laughing with joy over easily obtaining fifteen near Eighth-grade elixir pills, when the Sect Leader’s word of "Fourth-grade" stopped his laughter suddenly.
Alchemist Bai Lu seeing this, teased: "Lord Tian Can, why aren’t you laughing anymore? Do you just not like to laugh?"
Monk Tiancan glanced at Alchemist Bai Lu, then stared at the Eternal Life Sect Leader with red eyes.
Fourth-grade elixirs!
Among Heavenly Dome God-level entities, few have consumed such elixir pills, what qualifies this Eternal Life Sect Leader? How can he acquire a Fourth-grade elixir pill, just by being Master Zhou’s favored person?
Zhou Xuan calmly said: "Little Chang Sheng seems to have gained quite a bit this time, getting a Fourth-grade elixir."
"Master Zhou, able to extort elixir from Zoroastrianism relies on your clever strategy, your influence. This elixir is greatly useful to me. I wonder if there are alternative ways to complement your share."
"My share?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Yes, this Fourth-grade elixir, we each take half."
The moment the Eternal Life Sect Leader said this, Monk Tiancan felt the sect leader had changed—previously, he would take and keep, never sharing acquired benefits.
Now, he was willing to proactively share half of the elixir.
But Zhou Xuan raised his hand and said: "I don’t want the share, keep the elixir yourself, but if Zoroastrianism makes any moves in the future, just inform me in advance."
After hearing Zhou Xuan didn’t even want a fraction of the share, the Eternal Life Sect Leader felt grateful and immediately cupped his fists saying: "Master Zhou, if Zoroastrianism dares to bare their teeth at you again, I’ll smash their mouths."
"Master Zhou, I can handle Zoroastrianism, I can also pledge allegiance." Monk Tiancan finally couldn’t hold back, declaring.
But Zhou Xuan was too lazy even to respond to Monk Tiancan, not saying a word.
Monk Tiancan wanted to say more, but was pulled away by the Eternal Life Sect Leader—fearing Monk Tiancan’s reckless nature might offend Master Zhou.
Seeing the alchemy in the pill furnace proceed orderly, Zhou Xuan said: "Sect Leader, continue guarding the pill for me, Lao Bai Lu and I will leave first."
"Rest assured, Master Zhou, with me here, no one dares to steal the elixir."
The Eternal Life Sect Leader hurriedly said.
"And me, and me." Monk Tiancan anxiously wanted to prove himself.
Zhou Xuan still paid no attention, asking the Eternal Life Sect Leader: "By the way, Little Chang Sheng, I have a question for you."
"Master Zhou, please ask."
"How did you reach this Ancient Hall?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
The Ancient Soul Returning Hall, is a mysterious space within Jing Country. Zhou Xuan relied on Danzi’s flesh to reach here.
While the Eternal Life Sect Leader could come and go freely, he must have some unique method, so Zhou Xuan was curious and asked the Eternal Life Sect Leader.
The Eternal Life Sect Leader thought for a moment and pointed to the Secret Realm, saying, "Inside my Secret Realm, there are two Heavenly Dome ’bugs’, with them, I can traverse certain spaces."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan immediately understood something and then asked, "Sect Leader, let me ask you further—when you cast spells within the Ancient Hall, like ringing your rattle, can its effect reach the real world East Market Street?"
"Of course." The Eternal Life Sect Leader grasped the drum and lightly tapped twice, producing two beats.
After the crisp drum beats, the sound was no longer audible.
"The echo of these beats has already reached East Market Street." The Eternal Life Sect Leader said.
Zhou Xuan suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Now I understand a bit more, the Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master secretly deploying in East Market Street, who they are."
