Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Solidifying Pill! (3 more updates)

At those times when the elders of the Alchemy Master Guild all believed that after the Blue Ice turned into mist, the medicinal properties had completely dissipated, Ling Feng’s refined elixir was bound to fail, Ling Feng suddenly did something unexpected.

With his right hand raised high, a type of True Qi, completely opposite to the Earth Fire True Qi, violently emerged, carrying a cold breath and spread above the Pill Furnace.

The white mist, formed from the Blue Ice vapor, under the effect of the cold air, immediately condensed back into ice crystals, like falling snow, falling back into the Pill Furnace.

As soon as the heat from the Pill Furnace and the cold air above collided, Ling Feng immediately closed the furnace lid, and the Blue Ice crystals again scattered evenly within the Pill Furnace, transforming into unbearably hot steam.

As time passed, the Blue Ice completely melted, and the condensed steam, under high temperatures, kept compressing, forming streams of mini airflows within the Pill Furnace, even making slight ”bang bang bang” collision noises.

Not a single bit of the medicinal strength within the Blue Ice had escaped!

”This—this is—”

Hong Haotian’s eyelids twitched wildly as he suddenly remembered an alchemy method he had once seen in an ancient book, the Ice and Fire Alternating Refinement Technique!

This method of refinement, compared to ordinary alchemy techniques, required very high preconditions. After all, ninety percent of alchemists were Fire Element Cultivators, and those Cultivators who practiced both Water and Fire Cultivation or Ice and Fire Cultivation were far too rare.

Those elders who previously thought that Ling Feng had failed in his alchemy were left dumbstruck.

Was there really such a mysterious alchemy technique in the world?

Through the alternating cold and heat, even the last little bit of impurities in the Blue Ice would be completely removed!

One could imagine that if the final elixir was refined, it would definitely be of the upper grade among the upper grades, without a single trace of impurity.

”Where on earth did this young man learn such an alchemy technique!”

”This is the Ice and Fire Alternating Refinement Technique. I saw it in ancient texts, but I never imagined that someone could actually reproduce such a technique!”

The elders’ eyes flickered with a fiery glow, a genius possessing high-level Fire Attribute Spirit-injecting True Qi now displayed quite impressive Water Attribute Spirit-injecting True Qi!

At this moment, the feelings in their hearts simply couldn’t be described with words.

Particularly He Taichong, who clenched his fists tightly. He was entirely convinced and reminded of what Ling Feng had told him earlier, which was truly correct.

This young man, despite being young, had a level of skill in the Alchemy Dao far surpassing his own, and definitely qualified to teach him!

A Fifth-rank Alchemist was indeed just a threshold. Thinking back on his own complacency over the years, contented with limited insights, was utterly laughable.

”Brother Yan, is this young man truly your student?” Hong Haotian took a deep breath, turned to look at Yan Cangtian, and asked in a grave voice.

”From certain aspects, he could be considered half a student of mine. However, in terms of the Alchemy Dao, he and I have always been learning from each other.” Yan Cangtian’s expression was very serious, his eyes also showing a hint of envy.

The Ice and Fire Alternating Condensing Method, he had also seen in books, unfortunately, he did not have the innate conditions like Ling Feng, and was destined not to be able to use such a method in alchemy.

”So it seems...”

Hong Haotian took a deep breath, his gaze once again fixed on Ling Feng, this seemingly overly young man took on an even more mysterious aura in his eyes.

Boom!

Time passed little by little. Inside the Six-legged Taotie Tripod, a series of muffled sounds were heard, causing Ling Feng’s eyes to flash with sharpness. He knew now was the right time. Inside the Pill Furnace, filled with high-temperature Blue Ice Steam, was indeed the optimal moment to refine the elixir.

The next moment, Ling Feng swiftly removed the lid of the furnace, his hand moving as fast as lightning, throwing in all the prepared materials in one fell swoop.

Those materials met the high-temperature steam and quickly melted into a transparent liquid. Under Ling Feng’s exquisite control, they began fusing together stream by stream.

From a distance, it looked like clusters of flowing flames. The high-temperature Blue Ice Steam kept merging into these flowing flames. With the fusion of countless materials, the agitation inside the Pill Furnace began to stabilize, and the high-temperature steam blended with the solution, giving the solution a faint blue color.

Seeing the timing was perfect, Ling Feng held the furnace lid in his right hand and flicked his left index finger, throwing the last medicinal material inside before firmly securing the lid.

Thump!

With a muffled sound, Ling Feng began to frantically output his True Qi, increasing the intensity of the Six Yang True Fire Formation. The entire Six-legged Taotie Tripod, under high temperatures, glowed with a faint red hue.

Such alchemy techniques were undoubtedly rough and fierce, as if trying to turn all the dregs into ashes. How could it possibly produce an elixir?

However, since Ling Feng had made too many unexpected moves earlier, those old fellows from the Alchemy Master Guild remained silent, not daring to pass rash judgments, lest they be embarrassed again.

Even Elder Hua clenched his fists and could only curse silently in his heart: Refine to waste! Refine to waste! Refine to waste!

The process of elixir condensation was undoubtedly lengthy.

Half an hour!

An hour!

Two hours!

Strangely, none of those old codgers from the Alchemy Master Guild clamored to leave. Instead, they watched Ling Feng’s every move without blinking, fearing they might miss any detail.

During those two hours, Ling Feng continuously refined with a fierce fire. Now inside the Pill Furnace, there were no longer any collision sounds, and the high-temperature steam had been completely absorbed by the solution, seemingly turning into a cluster of light blue flames dancing inside the Pill Furnace.

”All the medicinal properties have perfectly merged. Now, it’s time for the condensation process.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath, concentrating intensely on controlling the fire for a full two hours, which left him slightly fatigued.

After all, he was refining a Seventh Rank ancient elixir, allowing no room for carelessness.

”Time to solidify the pill!”

”Can this young man succeed with his first furnace?”

Everyone instantly perked up, staring fixatedly at the Pill Furnace, even holding their breaths.

Slightly reducing his True Qi, the temperature of the Six Yang True Fire Formation gradually lowered. A glint flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes as he finally bellowed, ”Condense the pill!”
