Chapter 825: Refining the Pill Furnace, and Trying to Refine Level 7 Pills

Editor: Henyee Translations

Apart from that, he also wanted to use the alchemy jade slip he obtained from the ancient cave abode to try to increase his alchemy to Level 7.

At that time, he would definitely be able to obtain some good things from the system.

He did as he thought.

Jiang Chengxuan immediately calmed down and began to seriously comprehend the relevant Earth rule.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, eighty years had passed.

In the past eighty years, Jiang Chengxuan successfully comprehended the essence of the Earth rule, living up to expectations.

With this achievement, he only had the essence of Fire rule left to master.

Once he could comprehend the essence of Fire rule, he would be ready to attempt breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm.

Without wasting much time after mastering the Earth rule, Jiang Chengxuan started to experiment with alchemy, using the ancient alchemical jade slips he had obtained.

This process was also a way for him to deepen his understanding of the essence of Fire rule.

THUD!

Taking out the giant furnace he had acquired from the ancient cave abode, Jiang Chengxuan did not rush to use it for alchemy.

Instead, he began the process of refining the furnace itself.

Although the artifact spirit of the furnace was no longer present, Jiang Chengxuan could sense a residual will or intent lingering on the furnace, suggesting that refining it might lead to unexpected outcomes.

Buzz!

Soon, an unusual fluctuation emitted from the furnace, accompanied by a rich fragrance of medicinal pills that had accumulated over a long period.

The scent invigorated Jiang Chengxuan’s spirit, giving him a subtle boost.

As time passed, another decade went by.

Suddenly, the furnace emitted a dull roar, and its size began to rapidly shrink.

Eventually, it transformed into the size and shape that Jiang Chengxuan required.

At the same time.

A sense of kinship, as if connected by blood, emanated from the furnace, filling Jiang Chengxuan with an immediate sense of joy.

His guess was correct.

Even though the furnace’s artifact spirit was gone, its residual will remained.

With this remnant will, there might come a day when the furnace’s artifact spirit could be revived, yet it would no longer be the original artifact spirit but one intimately connected to him, truly his own.

Patting the furnace gently, Jiang Chengxuan said with a smile,

“From now on, I may frequently use you for alchemy.

I hope that through this process, you can grow and strive to take shape as soon as possible.”

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

As if understanding Jiang Chengxuan’s words, the entire furnace vibrated slightly, radiating a joyful and intimate aura.

Jiang Chengxuan smiled again at this response.

“Alright, let’s start our first collaboration today,” he said as he began taking out a plethora of alchemical materials.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t in a hurry to refine Level 7 pills but chose to practice with Level 6 ones he was familiar with.

When it was about time, he would consider refining Level 7 pills.

Over the next five years, Jiang Chengxuan refined a large quantity of Level 6 pills, each a work of high quality.

“I’ll take these pills to the sect’s auction for sale.

Some can also be kept for Anran to use,” he thought, organizing the finished products.

After setting aside the pills and adjusting his mood, Jiang Chengxuan prepared to embark on refining Level 7 pills, starting with one called the Eight Desolation Pill.

This pill was primarily used to enhance a cultivator’s physical strength, serving as a typical body refining pill and offering some benefits to Jiang Chengxuan himself.

Importantly, the process and materials required for this pill were relatively simple, needing only eight materials, making it one of the least demanding Level 7 pills to produce.

Buzz!

As Jiang Chengxuan ignited the Pure Yang True Fire within the furnace, it once again emitted intense heat.

At that moment, he began methodically adding the prepared materials into the furnace, each at the precise time required.

Chi chi chi!

Quickly, the materials he had placed in the furnace began to melt one after the other.

In no time, Jiang Chengxuan refined and condensed these melted medicinal liquids.

Inside the furnace, droplets of differently colored medicinal liquids began to slowly merge. One day, two days, three days, a month passed…

Suddenly, the medicinal liquid that had already merged together violently fluctuated.

A powerful and ferocious energy burst forth within the furnace.

Jiang Chengxuan inwardly exclaimed, sensing trouble.

Indeed.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, the inside of the furnace shook violently.

Then, a wave-like ripple instantly spread across the inner wall of the furnace.

There was a loud bang.

The furnace trembled slightly.

The next moment, everything returned to calm.

Looking inside the furnace, all the medicinal liquids had evaporated into nothingness.

Apparently.

This round of alchemy had failed for Jiang Chengxuan.

He immediately began to reflect and analyze.

He felt that he might have been slightly too hasty in the step of refining the medicinal liquid.

He didn’t completely eliminate their repulsive properties.

Moreover, the control of the flame was also an issue.

After all, Level 7 pills are not like Level 6 ones.

They demand stricter control over the flame and purity.

Especially for some high-grade Level 7 pills, it’s said that the corresponding essence of rule needs to be integrated during their crafting.

If there are conflicting rules and the alchemist fails to handle this aspect properly, then failure is inevitable.

However, for the current Jiang Chengxuan, these considerations are not yet necessary.

His immediate priority is to successfully refine the Eight Desolation Pill.

With this in mind, Jiang Chengxuan gently tapped the furnace, waiting for the furnace to cleanse itself of impurities, before once again taking out the materials required to refine the Eight Desolation Pill.
