Chapter 872: Pill Completed
The desolate martial soul magnified and outlined the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron and the patterns within it, making them extremely clear. Lin Feng carefully examined them and discovered that these wondrous patterns faintly resembled the form of a true dragon.
With a thought, Lin Feng tried to use his divine sense to communicate with the mysterious sacred marks. It was as if true essence power flowed within those patterns. In an instant, the sacred marks seemed to radiate brilliantly in the ethereal martial soul space, as if a true dragon had come to life, appearing to open its mouth and breathe.
"Buzz!" Lin Feng felt his head violently tremble, as if a dragon's roar was attacking his divine sense, causing his entire body to shake uncontrollably. Fortunately, because his divine sense was under attack, he involuntarily withdrew from the patterns, allowing Lin Feng to break free.
But in that instant, Lin Feng was drenched in cold sweat. The dragon's roar—he had used his divine sense to communicate with these sacred marks, and it had triggered a dragon's roar capable of attacking the divine sense. Though it was an illusory space and an illusory event, it felt so real. If, in reality, he used true essence power to communicate with the sacred marks, he could probably also trigger the sacred mark's power, causing the dragon to breathe and emit a dragon's roar to attack a person's divine sense.
"Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron!" Lin Feng murmured softly, gaining insight into one of its mysteries. He hadn't expected this ancient treasure cauldron to have such a marvelous use. When the azure dragon breathed, he felt a mysterious aura contained within it. This aura should be usable during alchemy. This azure dragon cauldron had originally been used as an alchemy cauldron.
Of course, the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron also possessed terrifying offensive power, and it could unleash a dragon's roar for divine sense attacks, which was extremely fearsome.
"Lin Feng, what's wrong?" Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi saw that Lin Feng hadn't started alchemy yet but was showing some unusual reactions, so they asked curiously.
"Nothing. Old Man Huo, Old Man Chi, I'm about to begin. If anything goes wrong, please assist me with all your strength. I'll trouble you."
Lin Feng instructed. The two old men nodded. Even if Lin Feng hadn't said it, they knew what to do. They had long witnessed Lin Feng's alchemy methods, which were very unique. Coupled with his terrifying perception, powerful flames, and soul strength, Lin Feng had likely already far surpassed them in alchemy skill. Their only task was to prevent accidents. If there were minor issues during the alchemy process, they could make up for them.
"Buzz!" A flame suddenly ignited, instantly filling the entire room with heat. The temperature of the flame was extremely terrifying. It coiled around the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron and burned quietly. But this silent flame made the two old men's hearts pound.
Deep, steady, yet seemingly containing terrifying explosive energy and destructive power. Lin Feng's Yang Fire True Essence was terrifying. If even a trace of this flame touched them, they would likely be burned to death, unable to be extinguished.
One by one, medicinal herbs were thrown into the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron, a dizzying sight.
Nine Sun Grass, Heavenly Spirit Mushroom, Blood Soul Grass—such precious herbs. Normally, obtaining just one would require an extremely steep price. Any one of them was a treasure, but now they were being casually thrown into the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron by Lin Feng like ordinary grass, to be melted together.
The Luoshen Pill was an extreme Yang pill, a holy medicine for healing injuries. But the cost of refining it was also terrifying. No wonder the Luoshen Pill was extremely precious on the continent. Even trading at a very high price made it difficult to obtain this healing holy medicine.
The Luoshen Pill could not only heal injuries but also enhance a person's cultivation talent, forcibly elevating their spiritual roots. It was also very useful for mature martial cultivators, enriching their blood and flesh energy, making their blood vigorous, their physical bodies strong, and their spirits full. These were the qualities a powerful martial cultivator should possess.
The temperature in the room grew higher and higher. Lin Feng's hands began to form different seals, continuously striking the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron, causing a series of tremors and hums. At the same time, Lin Feng's terrifying divine consciousness enveloped everything around him, imprinting all things in his mind, including the fusion of the medicinal herbs inside the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron. For this alchemy session, Lin Feng didn't want any mistakes, so he was completely focused.
Old Man Huo and Old Man Chi kept watching every move Lin Feng made, growing more and more astonished. The intensity of the flame went without saying. The complex seal formations were a formidable alchemy technique, continuously striking the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron. But what truly shocked the two old men was Lin Feng's control—it was terrifying. Lin Feng controlled every step perfectly, multitasking flawlessly, ensuring every alchemy step proceeded methodically.
The two old men even sighed. It was a pity that someone with Lin Feng's talent didn't pursue the path of alchemy. But they also knew it was impossible. Given Lin Feng's terrifying talent, how could he focus solely on alchemy? At most, he would treat alchemy as an aid to martial arts. If he ever found it useless, he might abandon it without hesitation.
Martial arts were the foundation of this world. Everyone aspired to powerful cultivation strength.
Time passed slowly. After a long while, the room seemed to be filled with a complex aura, with many scents intermingling but not fully merging. This was the beginning of the herbs fusing.
Lin Feng's brows were like crescent moons. At this moment, he was even more cautious, not daring to be careless. A slight mistake could lead to failure, and he couldn't afford the consequences.
The fragrance of the medicine gradually grew stronger, permeating the entire room. In Lin Feng's perception, he could even feel several pills beginning to coalesce. This brought a hint of joy to his heart. Soon, the Luoshen Pill might be about to be refined.
However, after another period of time, those pills had almost fused, but still, no fully formed pills had emerged. This left Lin Feng and the two old men stunned, feeling that something was off.
"Almost there, just a little more." The two of them stared intently. They could also feel that it was just a hair's breadth away, but alchemy couldn't afford even the slightest deviation. A tiny difference could lead to completely different effects of the pill, or even turn it into poison.
The surface of the pill was smooth and radiant, faintly emitting a terrifying strong light, exuding a fearsome aura. The power of heaven and earth was drilling into the pill. The pill was communicating with the power of heaven and earth—this was the struggle of a heavenly pill being formed. But it was just that one bit short.
"I'll go for it." Lin Feng knew that this missing bit couldn't be made up for. There was no problem with his flame, alchemy technique, or perception. The only thing lacking was experience. He had refined pills too few times. He only knew how to follow the pill formula, but many pills would have deviations from the refining method recorded in the formula due to actual conditions. One had to be flexible and adapt. A slight difference could lead to a huge error. They didn't dare to be careless.
With a thought, Lin Feng's consciousness invaded the interior of the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron. The power of Yang Fire True Essence flowed along the patterns, and instantly, the entire Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron trembled, as if a sleeping azure dragon had awakened.
Lin Feng used his Yang Fire True Essence to communicate with the sacred mark power inside.
The azure dragon roared in fury. Inside the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron, it seemed as if the azure dragon was breathing. At the same time, a terrifying dragon's roar vibrated out, causing Lin Feng's divine sense to tremble. But he still held his mind steady, not allowing any mistakes.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
Several piercing sounds of breaking air rang out. Lin Feng's mind was startled. He saw several powerful beams of light shoot out from the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron.
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng's body shot straight up, breaking through the roof and leaving a huge hole in the room.
Using the Carefree Step Art, Lin Feng moved at extreme speed, grabbing the objects that had escaped from the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron. A powerful force transmitted through his palm into his body. His blood boiled and surged, as if his blood energy was extremely strong. Besides the strong blood energy, there was also vigorous Yang energy. Additionally, he had the illusion that any injury could be healed by this aura.
"Luoshen Pill!"
Lin Feng opened his palm, looking at the several pills that had cost him immense effort to refine. He felt it was quite difficult and rare. With these Luoshen Pills, any injury could be healed!
Figures flashed over one after another. They had all been attracted by the terrifying medicinal aura. Seeing Lin Feng, they stopped in their tracks, a hint of anticipation in their eyes.
Lin Feng glanced at these people, then nodded. Instantly, a brilliant smile spread across everyone's faces.
PS: No way, so intense today, huh?
