Chapter 1067: The Breakthrough into Peak Stage of Heavenly Spirit Realm
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
As a late-stage Heavenly Spirit Realm fighter, Qingfeng Li could now make heaven-tier elixirs and pills. He began searching around the Golden Island and found several heaven-grade elixir plants, which were the heaven spirit flower, the golden herb, and purple vine fruit.
To make elixirs, three items were necessary: the elixir plants, an alchemy furnace, and fire. With elixir plants at hand, he had to get the furnace and fire.
The Golden Calabash was familiar with the Golden Island and it knew that its master, the Golden Saint, had once hidden an Alchemy Furnace and fire deep in the ground somewhere on the island.
The Golden Calabash led Qingfeng Li to a cavern and it took them a little while to dig out the Alchemy Furnace and fire.
As it was over one meter high and completely golden, the Alchemy Furnace emitted golden light like a miniature sun. On the lower part of the furnace, there were complicated flower patterns engraved with three big characters — Golden Alchemy Furnace. Everything about it radiated an antiquated aura.
“Wow, it is indeed a saint’s alchemy furnace!” the little puppy exclaimed at the sight of the furnace.
As a spiritual beast who was present on earth during ancient times, Black Puppy knew about the existence of the Golden Immortal and the Golden Alchemy Furnace.
During ancient times, the Golden Saint was able to roam freely across continents with the Golden Alchemy Furnace. He once killed three saint-level invaders by himself but was finally overcome in a group attack by ten saint fighters from other planets.
Qingfeng Li’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had acquired a treasure. Since the Golden Alchemy Furnace was a Saint-tier Furnace, as long as he could find a saint-grade elixir plant and fire, he could make saint pills and enter the saint realm.
Even during ancient times, there were few saints, not to mention the present.
There was a Golden Flame beside the Golden Furnace, which Qingfeng recognized to be one of the top one hundred powerful flames in the world.
“Golden Flame … it is indeed the Golden Flame!” At the sight of the Golden Flame, Qingfeng was filled with joy and excitement.
From the Alchemy Arts of the Elixir King he had gotten from the Elixir King’s Tomb, Qingfeng Li naturally knew the value of the fire. For an alchemist, the most important item besides plants and furnace was the flame.
The higher grade the flame was, the higher temperature it could achieve and the higher grade the elixir would be once it was made.
As one of the top one hundred flames in the world, the Golden Flame was very powerful.
Qingfeng Li walked to the side of Golden Flame to absorb it into his body. When he reached out his right hand to touch it, the temperature of the flame was so high that it burned up his sleeve before he made the contact.
“Little brat, you have to activate your Mortal Purgatory Body to resist the high temperature,” said the voice of Dark Night Emperor in Qingfeng’s mind.
Qingfeng Li nodded with joy in his eyes.
With the activation of the Mortal Purgatory Body, his flesh became as hard as a meteorite. Then he reached out his hand and touched the Golden Flame, which roasted his skin with a crackling sound at a temperature as high as 5,000 degrees Celsius.
It was fortunate that Qingfeng Li cultivated the Mortal Purgatory Body, a self-cultivation technique that could turn his mortal body into an immortal, otherwise, he would never have been able to withstand 5,000-degree temperature. If he was an ordinary man, he would have been burnt into nothing but ashes.
Qingfeng Li circulated the vital essence in his body and, little by little, absorbed the flame into his body.
As the Golden flame entered his body, it roasted his muscles and bones, causing him an acute pain that was keener than being stung by needles.
Pale-faced, he squatted down with pain and large drops of sweat flowing down his body.
He grounded his teeth and clenched his fists so hard that his nails cut into his palms. But he felt nothing in his palms because the burning pain was much greater.
At the sight of his pain, Flower Fairy and Shark Demon King were both worried.
They wanted to help but could do nothing because no one could absorb the Golden Flame but Qingfeng himself.
Qingfeng Li felt his muscles and meridians almost melting under the fire and fine cracks appeared on his bones with crackling sounds.
The power of the Golden Flame was more terrifying than the Hell Fire of the Dark-Hell Snake King.
Through the cracks in the bones, some black impurities began to ooze out.
After getting rid of the black impurities, his bones became harder and emitted a golden aura.
Not only his bones, but his muscles and meridians turned golden as well.
When every part of his body had turned golden, he could finally withstand the roasting of the Golden Flame and began to take in the fire thread by thread.
Eventually, all of the Golden Flame entered his body and was stored in his Dantian.
He found he could control the fire with his will. He focused his thought and a wisp of gold colored flames appeared on his palm.
The flame was golden and he had completely mastered it.
Golden Calabash was stunned when it saw that Qingfeng had mastered the Golden Flame.
It must be noted that the Golden Flame was extremely powerful, as it was ranked as one of the top one hundred flames under heavens and earth, and it was a wonder that Qingfeng Li had mastered it so quickly.
No wonder the Fire Dragon and the Kunlun Palace approved of Qingfeng Li. He was highly talented.
With the Golden Flame under his control, Qingfeng Li tossed the heaven-grade ingredient plants he had just collected into the Golden Furnace to make heavenly spirit grade pills.
He heated the furnace with Golden Flame.
Shortly, a trace of an alchemic scent floated out of the furnace while the pill was refining, condensing, and taking shape.
With his previous experience with alchemy, he was quite quick with the process.
He opened the lid and revealed five heaven-grade pills lying inside.
They were not big, just the size of thumbs, but they each contained large amounts of vital essence. Even their scent was refreshing.
He had made five pills. He took one for himself and gave the remaining four to Shark Demon King, Flower Fairy, Black Puppy and Sky-Devourer Snake.
The little puppy and Sky-Devourer Snake had been with him for a long while and the pills were their rewards.
Qingfeng Li swallowed the elixir which transformed into large amounts of vital essence.
The vital essence traveled down his throat and condensed at his Dantian.
The spirit nucleus in his Dantian now had four marks instead of three after absorbing the vital essence from the heavenly spirit tier pill.
Four marks, that was the symbol of the breakthrough into the peak stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
