Chapter 121 - Refining The Crimson Astral Blaze Pill

Jiu Shen took out the Heaven Trampling Cauldron from his space earring and he also took the ingredients needed to concoct the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill, including one fruit from the Earth Origin Dragon Tree. After taking out everything, Jiu Shen set up his Heaven Trampling Cauldron and sat cross-legged before it, a serious expression suffused his handsome face.

Seeing his solemn look, Lu Sulan and Can Ye didn’t dare make any noise. Although they were not experts in alchemy and pill refining, they knew that an alchemist needed a tranquil and silent atmosphere in order to properly concoct a pill. Furthermore, Jiu Shen wasn’t just concocting any random pill, he was going to refine a 9th-rank pill, the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill!

In the whole of the Silver Wing Empire, no one was capable of refining such a high-level pill, even Master Fengzi the top alchemist of the empire would be helpless if he was tasked to concoct it. Perhaps the Supreme Elder of Alchemy Hall might be able to do it, but no one knows his whereabouts.

Jiu Shen flicked his fingers to create a small wisp of inky black flame. The black flame was so tiny and it flickered ceaselessly at the tip of his forefinger, but the heat it produced was enough to burn an expert at the 8th-rank Divine!

Looking at the small dark fire in their master’s finger, Lu Sulan and Can Ye drew surprised gasps.

Lu Sulan still remembered how Jiu Shen used the same flame to cook meat when they were searching for the Green Mountain Lake. Recalling the scenes back then, she couldn’t help but let out a warm smile, making her peerless face look even more beautiful.

As for Can Ye, he was focused on his master’s every action. The way Jiu Shen conjured the flame and the casualness in his movements made Can Ye sigh in admiration. If it was him, he would have to form several hand seals and mutter incantations to produce a flame using his true essence, but his master was able to do it with such ease that he could only look up to him in worship.

Jiu Shen who was focused on his pill concoction was unaware that his simple act of conjuring the weakest flame he could produce actually made his two disciples drown in their own thoughts.

Under his disciples’ earnest gazes, Jiu Shen pointed the tip of his forefinger towards the bottom of the Heaven Trampling Cauldron, sending the small wisp of black flame flying towards it. The four azure dragons engraved on the cauldron lit up as if they had gained sentience. The four life-like dragons emitted a draconic cry with might that could shake the heavens, but strangely enough, they weren’t able to draw out the tribulation lightning this time.

Roaarr!

Lu Sulan was perplexed about this since she knew that this cauldron from her master was certainly a treasure that had attracted the tribulation lightning some time ago, but now, it seemed like the heavens wasn’t even able to realize its presence after Jiu Shen took it out.

Jiu Shen was similarly surprised but he suddenly thought of a possibility. ’This Refining Hall might have blocked the heavens from sensing the presence of the Heaven Trampling Cauldron. Oh, this is getting interesting…’

The four azure dragons continued to emit baleful roars as their life-like figures flickered with a flash of golden brilliance.

Jiu Shen knitted his eyebrows in displeasure and smacked the cauldron as if telling it to behave.

Clang!

A dull clanging sound echoed as Jiu Shen slapped the cauldron, but after doing that, the four azure dragons immediately went silent.

Without dallying any further, Jiu Shen grabbed the auxiliary ingredients and started refining them inside the Heaven Trampling Cauldron.

If any alchemists saw this scene, they would instantly be dumbstruck since they would usually refine the ingredients one by one, not refine them all at the same time. Luckily, Lu Sulan and Can Ye had no idea about pill refining, but they still stared at Jiu Shen with reverence especially after seeing how carefree he was when concocting a high-level pill.

Jiu Shen tapped the cauldron with his finger from time to time. It might look like an ordinary set of actions, but behind these plain movements, each tap of his finger actually contained vast amounts of true essence that continued to circulate inside the cauldron, making the refining process of the ingredients even faster.

Several seconds later, Jiu Shen took out the main ingredient, the fruit of the Earth Origin Dragon Tree, and calmly threw it inside the cauldron.

Inside the Heaven Trampling Cauldron, the ingredients were separated by Jiu Shen’s true essence and were refined simultaneously. After refining the ingredients, the next thing to do was to seamlessly merge them into one mixture and form the pills.

An alchemist had to have strong spiritual power in order to refine high-level pills, and as the quality of the pill increases, the spiritual power needed similarly increases. However, cultivating one’s spiritual power was too hard and required strong will and determination since one needed to connect the spiritual nodes in their bodies. Just that, connecting one’s spiritual nodes was a painful process and the sheer amount of soul strengthening treasures needed was humongous as well. Thus, one had to have sufficient wealth and will if they wanted to nourish their spiritual power.

Jiu Shen placed his hands on the cauldron and focused his attention in forming the pills inside. Normally, an average alchemist could only form five pills in one set of ingredients, but inside the Heaven Trampling Cauldron, there were ten pills that were slowly taking form!

“Condense.” Jiu Shen’s calm voice reverberated inside the Refining Hall and right after those words left his mouth, a blinding rainbow brilliance flashed from within the cauldron.

“Pill Aurora?” Lu Sulan muttered in shock. She didn’t know what that exactly means, but she could still recall the dumbfounded looks of Master Fengzi and the alchemists from the Alchemy Hall when they saw the same rainbow brilliance after Jiu Shen concocted the Invigorating Meridians Pill back then.

“What does that mean, senior sister?” Can Ye asked with a perplexed look when he saw the surprised expression of Lu Sulan.

The latter glanced at him and told him about the events that happened in the Alchemy Hall, and after hearing the story, Can Ye’s mouth gaped and his eyes widened that it almost popped out of his eye sockets.

Jiu Shen ignored them and opened the cauldron, revealing ten pills that were still emitting hot steam, and a dense herbal aroma wafted about after Jiu Shen grabbed the pills.

Crimson Astral Blaze Pill, acquired!

With the same calm and indifferent look, Jiu Shen retrieved his Heaven Trampling Cauldron and kept nine of the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill from the ten that he had concocted. With Lu Sulan’s present condition, she only needed one pill to awaken her damaged Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body. He then grabbed Lu Sulan’s hand, making the latter produce a soft yelping sound similar to a startled rabbit that was trapped by its prey.

Amidst her surprise, Lu Sulan looked at the blazing red pill in her hand, and she could not help but feel slightly emotional. “I can finally cultivate without feeling pain…” She muttered to herself.

It has been many years since she had to endure the excruciating pain every time she cultivates. Now, the pill that would end her suffering was in her hand, who wouldn’t feel emotional about it?

“Consume it.” Jiu Shen smiled as he patted her head gently, his expression was full of tenderness and care which was never been seen by Lu Sulan. She felt her heart stirring violently when she saw her master’s smile, her cheeks turned a shade redder as an alien feeling enveloped her heart.

Lu Sulan closed her eyes and slowly placed the pill inside her mouth.

A fiery sensation struck her tongue, making her abruptly open her eyes. It was scalding hot and it was even hotter than her master’s Viper Magma Chili.

“Concentrate on extracting the pill’s efficacy.” Jiu Shen’s gentle voice drifted to her ears, instantly defusing her emotional turmoil.

Lu Sulan sat crossed legged and with her eyes shut tight. Her mind was now focused on extracting the Crimson Astral Blaze Pill’s efficacy.

Jiu Shen smiled after seeing this. With Lu Sulan’s aptitude, she would certainly be able to awaken her Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body.
