Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 445: Chapter 444: Elixir Inheritance

’I can’t have any more funny ideas. If Master refines me into nothingness, I’ll be finished,’ Tianyuanzi muttered inwardly.

’From now on, I must be loyal to Master. I’ll be the most helpful Artifact Spirit, the king of all Artifact Spirits!’ Tianyuanzi continued to brainwash himself.

Seeing this, Ling Fei just smiled faintly.

When he’d threatened to refine the Artifact Spirit just now, it was only to intimidate Tianyuanzi.

The more arrogant an Artifact Spirit was, the more forcefully one had to crush it. Otherwise, how could it ever yield?

After another small smile, Ling Fei withdrew his Heart Spirit from the Stone Stele, and the Dragon Bone Pen sank back into his spine.

Because this was all done via his Heart Spirit, outsiders couldn’t see a thing.

”Celestial Essence Divine Furnace!”

Then, a glint flashed in Ling Fei’s true body’s eyes. With a single thought, he pulled the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace, which seemed to be floating in a starry sky, to his side.

WHOOSH!

The Celestial Essence Divine Furnace was pulled over. Light Patterns flickered within it, hazy and indistinct, emitting an obscure fluctuation. The Mystical aura inside was enough to give even Ling Fei a Heartbeat.

His Heart Spirit flickered, and the Pill Furnace vanished into his mind.

”This Celestial Essence Divine Furnace is a Supreme Treasure forged by a senior from the North Spirit Ruins. The Mystical of Heaven and Earth it contains is incredibly profound,” Ling Fei murmured.

This was his initial understanding of the Pill Furnace after taking control of it.

As for its many other wonders, those would require further testing.

At that moment, Light Patterns flickered inside the Pill Furnace as Tianyuanzi continuously merged with the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace, gaining control over some of its Power.

The Forbidden Patterns were dissolving, allowing Tianyuanzi to unleash the divine efficacy of an Artifact Spirit.

As he gradually merged with and gained control of the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace, Tianyuanzi felt his own Power growing stronger.

’If I had been this powerful before, how could Master have crushed me so easily?’ Tianyuanzi’s face was filled with grievance.

But just as he was grumbling to himself, he detected a trace of Ling Fei’s soul fluctuation.

This made his soul tremble. He quickly suppressed the thought and muttered, ”I will be the most helpful Artifact Spirit! I will be Master’s right-hand man!” Seeing the earnest look on his little face, Ling Fei found it rather amusing but didn’t dwell on it.

’The Fire Flame in the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace is even stronger than my Dragon Spirit Celestial Fire. It also contains the Five Elements Power and a surge of the Power of Heaven and Earth... This truly is a Supreme Treasure.’ After sensing some of the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace’s Power, Ling Fei nodded in satisfaction. ’Now, it’s time to go to the Land of Alchemy Inheritance.’

Once Ling Fei took control of the Celestial Essence Divine Furnace, the space itself seemed to sense it. A formation of Light Patterns manifested, enveloping him and pulling him away.

”I wonder what kind of Pill Furnace Ling Fei got!”

”Look how satisfied he is! That Pill Furnace must be incredible!” The people on the North Spirit Platform were green with envy.

The next moment, a flash of Light Patterns appeared before Ling Fei’s eyes, and he found himself standing before a massive hall entrance.

The hall was towering, a thousand meters tall, giving it a magnificent and imposing air.

On the plaque above the hall were carved two words: Alchemy Dao.

”Alchemy Dao!” Seeing this, Ling Fei’s eyes lit up, and he found himself captivated by those two words.

This was none other than the Land of Alchemy Inheritance that every Alchemist in the Southern Wilderness dreamed of entering.

All one had to do was touch the plaque with their Heart Spirit and break through the Restriction Pattern within to enter the Pill Hall.

This was according to the information provided by the Lingyun Sect.

With a thought, Ling Fei submerged his Heart Spirit into the plaque before him.

BUZZ!

The plaque immediately rippled, drawing his Heart Spirit into the space within.

As his Heart Spirit was drawn into the space, a scorching aura spread out, and Ling Fei felt as if he were in a Sea of Fire.

Before the Sea of Fire, a gate of light could be faintly seen.

That gate of light was like the very entrance to the Pill Hall.

To reach the gate of the Pill Hall, one first had to cross this Sea of Fire.

The Sea of Fire surged forward, its power immense, threatening to burn Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit to nothing.

This was a test for Cultivators. If one’s will wasn’t resolute enough, they would never be able to cross the Sea of Fire, let alone trigger the gate of the Pill Hall ahead.

Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred, erupting with a powerful aura. He shot straight across the Sea of Fire and appeared before the gate of light.

His talent surpassed that of all previous geniuses. This minor Restriction was no problem for him at all.

The moment his Heart Spirit touched the gate of light, a Qi Vortex materialized.

The next instant, Ling Fei’s true body was drawn into the Qi Vortex before him.

WHOOSH!

In a flash, Ling Fei appeared inside a great hall.

The hall was vast, and Ling Fei stood in its center.

His gaze swept around, and he discovered carvings and text on the surrounding pillars.

These were all records pertaining to the Alchemy Dao.

An ancient and boundless aura permeated the air.

In addition, a small path led forward from the center of the hall.

This path connected to a high platform.

This platform was called the Alchemy Platform, and it held the inheritance of the Alchemy Dao.

The Alchemy Platform was shrouded in Forbidden Patterns, making it impossible to see what was on it.

However, lined up in front of the Alchemy Platform were rows of three-foot-tall alchemy stations.

’Only by successfully refining a qualifying Elixir here can I access the Alchemy Platform and comprehend the profound Alchemy Dao inheritance,’ Ling Fei thought.

But before that, he first walked over to the pillars to study the Alchemy Dao knowledge carved upon them.

The hall was as wide as a public square and contained ninety-nine pillars.

Each pillar was engraved with some form of knowledge.

There was knowledge of medicinal herbs, of Pill Furnaces, of Pill Fires...

”So this is the Pill Hall?”

”It’s a shame we couldn’t get inside.” The Alchemists on the North Spirit Platform looked dejected.

Although they could see some of the patterns, they were obscured by Forbidden Patterns, making it impossible to see them clearly through the images projected by the North Spirit Stele.

The patterns were extremely blurry at a glance, causing them to sigh in disappointment.

’This Pill Hall is truly extraordinary. The knowledge of medicinal herbs is even more detailed than what I studied in the Lingyun Sect, especially the explanations about Pill Furnaces...’ Upon closer inspection, Ling Fei’s heart was stirred. The carvings explained that the Pill Furnace was also crucial to Alchemy; Pill Furnaces forged from different materials would produce different Elixirs.

The choice of materials for a Pill Furnace was also extremely important; not just any material could be used.

Some Pill Furnaces had properties that would clash with the Elixir being refined, leading to failure in Alchemy.

But if you didn’t understand this knowledge, you would have no way of knowing why your refined Elixirs were of poor quality or why you failed altogether.

However, this knowledge wasn’t comprehensive—it was just bits and pieces. To obtain the complete knowledge of the Alchemy Dao, he still had to go to the Pill Platform ahead.

A complete inheritance was located there.

Soon, Ling Fei finished reading the content on the pillars and walked to the base of the Alchemy Platform.

He was filled with anticipation for this Alchemy Dao inheritance.

Although Ling Fei had already obtained the inheritance of the Yuan Feng Pill King...

...the Yuan Feng Pill King had specifically mentioned that the Alchemy Dao philosophy he had acquired—the Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial, which used all things in existence to refine the Heaven and Earth Divine Pill—originated from this very place.

That was precisely why Ling Fei had made a special trip here.

He wanted to see if he could comprehend an even more profound Alchemy Dao Mystical.

If he could, his future prospects might even surpass those of the Yuan Feng Pill King.

”Time to refine an Elixir.” Ling Fei walked to one of the alchemy stations and began the process of Alchemy.

There was no restriction on the type of Elixir, but one had to refine the most perfect Elixir possible. The grade of the refined Elixir would determine which inheritance ground one was led to.

Ling Fei began the Alchemy, choosing the most basic Celestial Essence Pill.

He refined the Celestial Essence Pill, and the resulting Pill was Second Grade.

Now that Ling Fei had reached the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm and his soul had entered the Divine Soul Realm, his ability to perform Alchemy was far greater than before.
