Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1518: Chapter 1517: Top-Grade Among Top-Grades!

In the valley, Su Han sat cross-legged, the pill furnace floating before him, blazing red in the flames.

This ordinary pill furnace was ultimately unsuitable, and Su Han planned to find materials to refine a furnace himself during his alchemy process.

”Hua hua hua...”

One medicinal ingredient after another was thrown into the pill furnace by Su Han, quickly transforming into pill liquid under the scorching flames.

It appeared pitch black, yet within that blackness, a trace of brightness shone through, making it easy to distinguish that this was definitely not ordinary liquid, especially with the astonishingly rich spiritual energy permeating the entire valley, even causing Su Han to feel refreshed with just one breath.

”Hua la la...”

One Spirit Crystal after another shattered at this moment, adding even more to the already abundant spiritual energy.

An hour later.

”The final step!”

Su Han’s lips parted slightly, his palm flipped, revealing a lotus seed — it was the Nine-Heart Lotus Seed!

The spiritual energy emanating from this lotus seed was more vast than any Spirit Crystal, like a small Spirit Gathering Array placed here, befitting its status as the top-grade medicinal ingredient among the first grade.

Su Han took a deep breath; even with his alchemy skills, he was slightly nervous at this moment.

With insufficient cultivation base and already lacking resources, wasting such a lotus seed would cause Su Han immense pain.

Of course, he was still very confident.

After breaking through to the First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, he had over an eighty percent chance of refining some lower-class Second Grade Pills.

”Bang!”

Su Han didn’t hesitate and directly threw the lotus seed into the pill furnace.

Upon touching the pill liquid, the lotus seed first trembled slightly, then the scorching temperature caused it to crack from the center and then explode into two halves.

Amazingly, spiritual energy spread from it, quickly merging with the pill liquid; the pitch-black, translucent lotus seed swiftly melted, almost in the blink of an eye, fusing with the previous pill liquid.

...

The subsequent time was waiting.

Su Han didn’t refine ten Spirit Transformation Pills at once like before, as that would risk failure.

After all, this was a Spirit Transformation Pill, not to be compared with regular pills. Su Han didn’t want to waste even one lotus seed, so he had to refine them one by one, being extra cautious.

An hour later—

”Bang!”

Su Han suddenly slapped the pill furnace; the lid flew up, and a splash of pill liquid spurted out, quickly falling back in.

”Condense!”

Su Han suddenly bellowed, infusing the power of cultivation into the pill liquid, as if a giant hand grabbed the pill liquid, kneading it rapidly.

Each kneading gathered the pill liquid, and in a short time, Su Han kneaded a thousand times.

The pill liquid gradually solidified, as if soaked in earth, slowly taking shape.

From its initial liquid state, it turned into a juice, then into chunks, step by step, finally forming into palm-sized chunks.

This was only the beginning.

Palm-sized chunks couldn’t be called pills, as the spiritual energy scattered and couldn’t be retained. If left like this for long, the spiritual energy would completely dissipate.

A pill hides its spiritual energy, only the pill fragrance is emitted, allowing it to be stored for a long time.

Throughout the process, Su Han continued kneading, and this kneading persisted for ten days!

”Form the pill!”

Ten days later, Su Han shouted again, all his cultivation power surged, the Five-Colored Supreme Shadow, the Fourth Transformation of the Nine Blood Transformations, the fusion of the physical body and martial path cultivation...

All of these increased Su Han’s terrifying aura at this moment.

Refining pills must match the cultivation base, otherwise, a First Grade Pill requires a cultivation base above Spirit Transformation Realm to refine, and a Second Grade Pill needs a cultivation base above Spirit Body Realm.

Although Su Han was at the First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, with these enhancements, he could crush Fifth Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, and with experience from his past life, it wasn’t simple, but also not too difficult.

His palm retreated, and the power of cultivation allowed the already congealed ordinary-sized chunks to float, each rolling seemingly rubbing against the surface, and the pill scraps rubbed off continued fusing into the chunks, avoiding any waste.

This rolling persisted for another entire day, and the Spirit Transformation Pill was finally complete.

It was perfectly round and smooth, with the lotus seed’s pitch-black yet somewhat transparent look, appearing darkly alluring at a glance.

Thick pill fragrance emanated from it, yet there was no scattering of spiritual energy, the entire pill body having not even the tiniest crack.

The top of the top-grade!

If other alchemists were here to witness the pill Su Han refined, they would be stunned, unable to believe it.

The Spirit Transformation Pill was inherently difficult to refine, and most alchemists could only produce lower-class quality, with a small number able to create mid-class quality.

As for superior quality, that was almost reserved for those with deep mastery of the Alchemy Dao, even if their alchemist grades were only First or Second Grade, but having refined First and Second Grade Pills for many years.

However, such alchemists were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, not one in ten thousand.

As for alchemists capable of refining top-grade Spirit Transformation Pills... they were truly as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Yet here, Su Han refined a Spirit Transformation Pill to the top of the top-grade!

This was not Su Han boasting, nor did he enjoy exaggerating, but looking at the entire Lower-Class Star Region, those who could refine such a top-grade Spirit Transformation Pill probably wouldn’t exceed a single hand’s count.

And just as the pill was formed, Su Han intended to store it away, when a thought suddenly stirred within him, slowly surfacing.

”What if a drop of that Blazing Wine was dripped onto this Spirit Transformation Pill, what would happen?”

This thought arose abruptly, yet appeared all too near, making it impossible for Su Han to resist.

The Blazing Wine, obtained from Ancient Times, was of remarkable extent, not needing description.

In terms of storage, there was plenty in Su Han’s Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, enough for his use.

In his past life, after successfully refining pills, adding some other ingredients wasn’t unusual, it was quite common.

Alchemists were revered, especially those high-level ones, because, step by step, they researched and fully developed the efficacy of the pills.

As a former top-notch alchemist, Su Han was more persistent in this pursuit.

However...

Should it fail, this already successful pill would also shatter!

Such a top-grade Spirit Transformation Pill, if not valued at a million, at least worth fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, if shattered...

That would be akin to seeing at least fifty thousand Spirit Crystals vanish into thin air before him!

...

P.S.: Already awake, slept for two and a half hours, South Mountain will fight again!

Phoenix Army, follow my steps, just like Su Han, defy the heavens and fight!

Thank you all for the rewards, and the two great patrons for their generous rewards, South Mountain is very grateful, and thanks to others for their rewards, it’s you who gave South Mountain motivation!
