"Dragon Heart Grass, Scarlet Flower, Blazing Fire Chrysanthemum..."
Long Chen refined a batch of rare herbs into powder. These herbs were all newly purchased by Long Chen. After planting them in large quantities in the chaotic space, Long Chen quickly harvested some rare herbs.
More and more runes lit up on the furnace. Although the spirit of the Moon Melting Star Furnace still had the ability to communicate with Long Chen, it possessed incredibly rich alchemy experience.
Moreover, back in the mortal realm, he had already coordinated with Long Chen and Huo Ling'er, and their soul fluctuations were extremely familiar, moving them with ease.
"Buzz!"
Soon, the batch of pills reached its final stage, less than half a stick of incense's time in total. Long Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Huo Ling'er had completely devoured the power of the Heavenly Fire Seed, Chi Lingyan. Since Chi Lingyan was still in its early stages and hadn't awakened its intelligence, it was very easy for Huo Ling'er to devour it, and she would soon gain control over her own power.
Moreover, with the Heavenly Fire companion ore present, Huo Ling'er absorbed the mineral's power every day to strengthen her body. Unlike the Heavenly Fire Seed, which did not move at all, it knew how to grow as quickly as possible.
Every day, Huo Ling'er absorbed the power of the Heavenly Fire Associated Ore, and her strength changed dramatically. Her growth rate was astonishing.
Now, with Long Chen working together on pill refining, everything seemed so simple. Refining the powder would no longer contain so many impurities, and with the support of the Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace, everything was handled with ease.
"Bang knock bang..."
A muffled sound began to rise inside the furnace. The pills struck the furnace, making it buzz loudly. A faint smile appeared at the corner of Long Chen's mouth.
The louder the commotion, the better the quality of the pills. The furnace quickly fell silent. Long Chen opened it, and a surge of heat shot up into the sky.
Nine pills, like glazed glass, appeared inside the furnace, their glow swirling and illuminating the entire room, as if entering a dreamlike world.
"The grades of pills in the Immortal Realm are the same as those in the mortal realm, divided into low, medium, high, supreme, and supreme grades.
However, supreme pills are influenced by the Heavenly Dao, imprinting traces of the Heavenly Dao, receiving blessings from heaven and earth, forming a star-like existence also called a Pill Star.
The elders in the Alchemy Institute are ranked according to the Pill Star. The Seven Star Elder means he can refine a top-grade pill with seven stars.
And now, I can't even refine a single star, which means I'm still far from it. Long Chen looked at the pill in his hand and muttered to himself.
Long Chen swallowed a Shedding Pill, feeling as if a volcano was erupting within him. A powerful force surged through his limbs and bones, rushing back and forth, creating a thunderous roar.
Long Chen took off his clothes and found fine beads of sweat on his body, carrying a foul odor.
"The worldly energy has receded so obviously. The supreme Shedding Pill is a thousand times stronger than the high-grade Shedding Pill.
Heh heh, this way, within a month, we can dispel the mortal energy and condense the seed of divine fire, Chu Kuang? I know you have a trump card. Let's see who has the strongest trump card. It also shows me just how profound the heritage of a great family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years truly is. Long Chen clenched his fist, his face full of anticipation.
"Continue."
With the experience from the first time, the Moon Furnace was even more skillful to forge. After ten pills, Long Chen clearly felt that the furnace's control had improved even further.
For the spirit of the pill furnace, alchemy is the best tonic for the furnace artifacts. The more pills are refined, the stronger and more efficient they become, and the quality of the pills tends to improve.
In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Long Chen could refine eight furnaces of pills. After more than sixty furnaces, he felt his soul power was running low, so he hurriedly refined a batch of Soul-Nourishing Pills.
Half an hour later, Long Chen's soul power recovered and he continued refining pills. In this batch of pills, Long Chen was shocked to find a pill with a star pattern.
"One-Star Supreme Pill!"
A look of delight appeared on Long Chen's face. Long Chen hadn't grown stronger, and neither had Huo Ling'er, but he had refined a one-star supreme pill. This only meant the Moon Refining Star Furnace had become stronger.
"According to the Alchemy Institute's reward system, disciples who refine one-star top-grade pills will receive a reward of ten million immortal crystals, and their names will be listed among the talents."
Long Chen hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head. Forget it. Ten million Immortal Crystals was simply an unimaginable amount for him.
But then he thought, he could already refine pills and didn't need so much money for now. Besides, fame is fearful, pigs fear fatness, so it was better to quietly develop and quietly make a fortune.
In the end, Long Chen gave up on claiming the reward and focused on refining pills. He spent the whole day refining pills, producing over three thousand pills, including more than thirty one-star supreme pills.
Such frenzied alchemy had drained Long Chen's mental strength, his head splitting with pain, and he fell asleep immediately.
After sleeping for a while, Long Chen refined two more batches of pills, then had the Rongyue Star Refining Furnace work together with Huo Ling'er to try refining pills within the chaotic space.
After refining so many pills, the Rongyue Star Refining Furnace had accumulated enough power to cooperate with Huo Ling'er. However, after two batches, they needed to rest for a while.
Moreover, the pills he refined were either top-grade or superior. Without Long Chen, he couldn't have refined a one-star top-grade pill.
Long Chen didn't care about this either. As long as the Moon Furnace could refine pills himself, it was equivalent to cultivating on his own. After all, there were countless herbs in the chaotic space, and he could refine whatever he wanted, and he could do other things on his own.
Long Chen swallowed a large amount of Shedding Pills in one go. Only when his body began to struggle did he stop his transformation. Such violent transformation—if it were someone else, their body would burst instantly. But Long Chen only needed to rest for an hour or two before continuing.
Whenever Long Chen needed rest, he would go to the Divine Dao Scripture Pavilion. This time, he went to look for divine power combat techniques.
Just as Long Chen had predicted, the Divine Dao Scripture Pavilion contained cultivation techniques and combat techniques as vast as an ocean, with no end in sight.
Long Chen needed to find a technique similar to the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique, preferably producing a phenomenon similar to the Nine Stars when charging. This would conceal his identity as the Nine Star successor, so he wouldn't need to be restrained during battle.
"That's way too much. Fine, let's have one bookshelf per bookshelf at a time." Long Chen couldn't read books one by one; he could only learn an entire bookshelf at once. This would be faster and easier to filter.
"Mentor Long Chen, this is unacceptable. This is a cultivation manual manual. Learning so much at once would damage the soul and damage the primordial spirit and the Dao foundation." The disciple guarding the Divine Dao Scripture Pavilion already recognized Long Chen. Seeing Long Chen still studying the entire shelf of books as if he were reading other books, they turned pale with fear and hurriedly stopped him.
"Mentor Long Chen, many of the cultivation techniques and combat skills here are mutually countering. If you absorb them at the same time, they will evolve on their own in your mind, making it easy to go astray and fall into obsession." Another disciple kindly reminded him.
"Is there really such a thing?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Absolutely true." The disciple quickly nodded in agreement.
Long Chen suddenly had an idea: "By the way, it seems you two have been here for quite a while. Do you know there's a cultivation technique that, when used, creates a huge aura that looks really flashy?" "
Yes"
The two disciples answered in unison.
