Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 690: Chapter 691: The Bizarre Pill Furnace! (4th update)

”What’s going on?”

Ling Feng’s pupils shrank. Black Cat Ye Yi and Mu Qianxue were inseparable, and with Black Cat Ye Yi issuing such a hiss, it was clear that Mu Qianxue had encountered a crisis.

Yet, within the Elixir Room, what other hidden dangers could there possibly be?

Immediately, Ling Feng hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound. Everyone in the Elixir Room sprang into action as well. After a few flashes, Ling Feng was shocked to see that at the deepest part of the Elixir Room, there actually was a broken wall covered with a gigantic spider web.

On the web lay an immensely large spider, towering over the height of a person with its eight legs spread out. Its row of cold eyes swept across the room, exuding an eerie and terrifying presence that sent shivers down one’s spine.

But what was most hair-raising was that from that cracked wall within the spider web, spiders the size of fists were continuously crawling out. Black Cat Ye Yi had already turned into the size of a panther, trying to deal with those smaller spiders.

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched frantically. The aura emanating from this spider was different from ordinary demons; it seemed imbued with a certain Demonic Qi and was also filled with a strong Elixir Energy from the vast number of Spirit Pills.

”This monster!”

After pondering for a moment, Ling Feng realized that this spider must have accidentally ingested the elixirs within the Elixir Room, undergone some mutation, and continuously devoured various elixirs, turning it from a mere creature into a monster comparable to a demon.

As more and more people gathered, the giant spider’s pupils flickered with a sinister Blood Light, and then the smaller spiders surged out like a tide, seemingly ready to engulf everyone in a sea of spiders. ”How long has this monster lived to have spawned so many little spiders!”

Jiang Xiaofan drew his Great Sword and unleashed a blow, shattering only a mass of spiders before he was immediately covered by another wave of the arachnid onslaught. Everyone had no choice but to keep retreating, for those spiders were clearly highly poisonous and not to be approached lightly.

”Thunder Strike·Thunderstorm!”

Lee Bufan invoked the Wind and Thunder Power, and the rolling Thunder Power burst into the spider horde. The violent Thunder Power didn’t dissipate easily and turned the spiders into piles of charred remains, effectively slowing the onslaught of the spider tide.

”Leaving Fire—Burning Sky!”

Seizing the opportunity, Ling Feng immediately urged the Xuanhuang True Fire within his body, shouted loudly, and struck a forceful blow with the sword move ”Leaving Fire Burning Sky.”

Where the Fire Light passed, an unbearable stench spread, and the ground where the spider tide had been was completely incinerated to ash. The overpowering Sword Qi erupted and directly toppled the wall occupied by the giant spider with a single strike.

”Hiss!”

The giant spider let out a sharp roar, frantically spitting webbing, as if still stubbornly resisting. But then, a shadow flashed, and the paw of Black Cat Ye Yi aimed at the spider’s head, striking down hard and smashing the monster’s head to pieces.

”Roar...”

The monster’s body convulsed violently on the ground a few times as its Vitality gradually waned until it finally became a lifeless corpse.

Ye Yi used its sharp claws to fiercely rip at the giant spider’s belly a few times, failing to find a Demon Core. Frowning slightly, it immediately pounced back into Mu Qianxue’s embrace, shrinking continuously mid-air and reverting to its original, docile and endearing form.

Ling Feng shook his head and chuckled, petting Ye Yi’s little head while he calmly said, ”This is a Medicine Spider, not a demon; naturally, it doesn’t have a Demon Core.”

Saying this, Ling Feng stooped down and expertly tore open the corpse of the giant spider, removing a piece of tissue coated with a viscous liquid and stored it into the Spirit Storage Ring.

This scene made the surrounding females’ scalps tingle, and even Jiang Xiaofan, normally thick-skinned, couldn’t help but turn his head away, feeling his stomach churning with an urge to vomit.

Such a disgusting thing, yet Ling Feng actually went to collect it.

Seeing the looks of disdain on everyone’s faces, Ling Feng smirked and said, ”This Medicine Spider must have devoured countless Spiritual Elixirs. It has long since transcended its Mortal Body. Its poison sac is a treasure in the eyes of Alchemists. If some medicinal power could be extracted from it, it could at least be used to refine Ninth level Spirit Elixirs. This is a treasure that can’t even be begged for!”

”Young Master Ling, even so, you should take care of that viscous liquid on the poison sac,” Yue Yunlan frowned lightly, standing far to the side. The fishy stench was truly unbearable.

”That viscous liquid contains the Medicine Spider’s eggs. I plan to take some back as well. They should have some value, right? Make the best use of everything.”

After all, Ling Feng was not only an Alchemist, but also a Poison Master. Such a highly poisonous Medicine Spider definitely held significant research value.

Ling Feng grinned, then used the Xuanhuang True Fire to char the remaining corpses on the ground. After quite some time, the unpleasant fishy smell finally began to dissipate.

Next, everyone’s gaze turned together toward the spider nest within the broken wall.

The Medicine Spider was desperate to guard this nest, which definitely contained some extraordinary treasure.

”Let’s go in and have a look.”

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and, without any hesitation, took the lead and jumped into the spider nest.

Given the size of the Medicine Spider, its nest was spacious enough for several people to stand upright and walk side by side.

Yue Yunlan and the other two women exchanged glances. Although their feminine nature wasn’t fond of such a dark and foul-smelling place, the potential for a great opportunity inside made them disregard these concerns.

Inside the nest, there were tunnels in all directions, seemingly piercing through all the walls of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion and leading straight underground.

Ling Feng released Xuanhuang True Fire to light the way. It served not only as illumination but also as a deterrent to any smaller spiders lurking in the dark.

Following the winding path downwards, after walking for about half an hour, Ling Feng suddenly saw at the end of the nest, aside from a pile of empty Elixir Bottles that had been consumed, a person-high Alchemy Furnace was placed at the center of the cave.

Below the Pill Furnace seemed to be a huge Array in the shape of a Hexagram drawn with some magical materials, emitting a light blue flame, apparently still refining elixirs.

”Damn, that’s not scientific!” Jiang Xiaofan immediately shouted, ”Big brother, how is that possible? Has that spider turned into a spirit and started doing Alchemy?”

Ling Feng shook his head and chuckled, ”It’s not that the spider has turned into a spirit, but rather this Alchemy Furnace has probably been placed here for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.”

”What kind of elixir requires tens of thousands of years to refine?”

Jiang Xiaofan gasped in astonishment, asking foolishly.

Not just him, Yue Yunlan, Mu Qianxue, Tuoba Yan, Lee Bufan, everyone stared intently at the huge Pill Furnace before them, seemingly feeling the faint heat emanating from it.

This Pill Furnace was clearly still operational!

However, what kind of fuel could sustain the continuous operation of the Array for tens of thousands of years? This seemed a bit too exaggerated!
