Chapter 751: Another Level Up
ry keen on new people. I’ll introduce you to them next time."Dan Sanchang’s eyes widened in shock. "Could it be that the Iron Lion Divine Army is here"The Iron Lion Divine Army Shen Xiang could easily...Chapter 751: Further Cultivation
Shen Xiang indeed plans on using the Illusionary Treasure Furnace. Now, with him not being influenced by those chaotic energies that affect the mind, using the Illusionary Treasure Furnace would be much easier. He destroyed the medicinal furnace because he wanted to use its materials as fuel for his flames, allowing them to last longer.
Indeed, the deepest layer of the Illusionary Treasure Furnace was filled with fragments from that medicinal furnace. With Shen Xiang controlling the Fermentation Orb to release flames, burning those fragments quickly produces intense fire.
Eastern Xin Yue was dumbfounded as she had never seen this technique before from Shen Xiang.
However, the Medicine Elder shook his head and said, "Even with this method, it is still not enough. The Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pill consumes a lot of flames."
Shen Xiang was aware of this as well, so he used another method. He compressed his flames to make them stronger and able to generate extreme explosive power in a short period of time. He burned the herbs, separating them into medicinal spirits and medicinal powder. This idea was very daring as others would say he was crazy because it would destroy the herbs, but Shen Xiang came up with this idea when in his most calm moment. The flames were too strong, indeed destroying the herbs instantly, but as long as he controlled it properly and enhanced the herbs' fire resistance with his mana, protecting them would prevent destruction. However, this required precise control over the intensity of flames and mana.
The fire in the Illusionary Treasure Furnace was burning very intensely as Shen Xiang compressed them further, making them stronger.
Shen Xiang was also taking care of the herbs, dividing them into small pieces which were against the rules in alchemy. Since herbs needed to be in their entirety to prevent leakage of spirits, Shen Xiang used his mana to envelop those fragments and prevent spirit leakage. This made the burning process easier.
Only the Medicine Elder could understand Shen Xiang's thoughts. What amazed her was how strong his consciousness could prevent leakage of spirits from those fragments.
After dividing the herbs into small pieces, Shen Xiang released stronger mana. At this time, those flames were already compressed to their limits and Shen Xiang threw the herbs into the Illusionary Treasure Furnace. The heated herbs started to dissolve, releasing beautiful hues of light.
Although they weren’t surprised by the sight, the beauty still amazed them deeply. Eastern Xin Yue was completely mesmerized.
"It’s starting!" Shen Xiang’s expression turned grave. Suddenly, the fire at the bottom of the Illusionary Treasure Furnace burst out intensely with extreme heat. The dim surroundings suddenly became bright as the herbs, hit by this sudden shock, erupted with various bright light beams that were instantly condensed into medicinal spirit and powder.
The Medicine Elder and Su Mei Yao from Yueyuan Jade Palace were stunned. This alchemy method was violent, but they couldn’t deny Shen Xiang’s success and that he saved much time. However, this needed incredible control. The Medicine Elder and Su Mei Yao immersed in alchemy for many years, they had this idea too but never succeeded. They knew the difficulty involved.
But now, Shen Xiang could successfully do it and he did so in one go. His intuition made her feel inadequate.
Just a violent burst of flames, and the herbs were completely burned. Now, Shen Xiang was entering the later stages of alchemy starting to condense it!
"Senior Sister, the Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pill usually only produces one pill, you’re able to produce two high-quality ones. This is very rare." Wu Kaiming said.
Eastern Xin Yue also nodded, "I know some alchemists who can only produce one pill. Medicine Elder, you’re much more skilled than that Pill Alliance’s Pill King."
The Medicine Elder was praised but didn’t feel proud. She said calmly, "It’s due to the influence of my junior uncle, otherwise I might only produce one pill. His spirit in alchemy gave me a lot of insights and my current art has improved many thanks to him!"
The Medicine Elder’s words made Gudongchen speechless. Shen Xiang always received respect from many alchemists, even those with more experience than him would feel inferior whenever they spoke of Shen Xiang. Of course, this was only for alchemists in the Chiwu Continent as they often saw Shen Xiang producing pills.
In the Medicine Elder’s opinion, being able to produce two high-quality Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pills was the limit. She believed that even if Shen Xiang were as skilled as her, it would be a tie at most. However, she was faster than Shen Xiang and could claim victory here. But she knew the surroundings better than him, so it was best for them to tie.
Shen Xiang didn’t know what quality of Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pill the Medicine Elder produced, so he didn’t think about it. He just wanted to bring his best effort in refining the Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pill perfectly.
The fire inside the Illusionary Treasure Furnace was still at its peak, just as he had calculated.
The air mass formed from condensing the medicinal spirit and powder inside the Illusionary Treasure Furnace was now releasing golden light, fully combined before starting to separate.
This moment, the Medicine Elder concentrated her gaze as she watched Shen Xiang separate that mass into three parts. Her heart leaped in excitement, he was attempting to refine three pills!
When she saw this scene Eastern Xin Yue was almost in shock, as she had never seen Shen Xiang do something like that before. Even Gudongchen and Wu Kaiming were in awe because Shen Xiang was truly heaven-defying!
The majority of high-level alchemists could only produce one Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pill. The Medicine Elder managed to break through, producing two pills was already very difficult, but Shen Xiang did it three times!
It was known that the normal number of Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pills for high-grade pills would only produce one pill, but with Shen Xiang’s exceptional skills, they could produce two more. If it were a Heaven-Ranking Pill, he would obtain twice as much as other alchemists. Furthermore, the herbs used for high-grade pills were precious and producing more pills would better reflect an alchemist’s value.
The golden light in the Illusionary Treasure Furnace gradually faded as three pills formed, surrounded by golden vapor. Shen Xiang opened his eyes, beads of sweat running down his face as it was evident how much effort he had put into this alchemy.
The Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pill of high-quality should be golden in color, but Shen Xiang’s three pills were black. Did he fail
The Medicine Elder and others were disappointed, Shen Xiang worked hard but failed!
However, they didn’t know that those black Nine Aperture Condensing Body Pills were of peak quality. When Shen Xiang achieved this in the Holy Pill Realm, it was confirmed by a Pill Immortal. Although they could solve them, time ran out.""What a pity!" Shen Xiang sighed as well."Shen Xiang, I’ve been considering something important these days!" Xiao Yulan stared very seriously at Shen Xia...
