Lighting the Furnace and Refining Pills, Merit Descends from Heaven

Primordial World: I Became Laozi's Disciple and Refined Mythical Golden Elixirs Author: Blade Blade Lethal

Luo Xuan transmigrated into the Primordial World and became an Innate Human, only to face the Witch-Demon Calamity. Fortunately, he activated a system and became Laozi's disciple. From then on, his Pill Dao was unmatched.

Laozi: "Disciple, why is the quality of your Nine Revolutions Golden Pills so high? Teach your master!"

Yuanshi: "Nephew Disciple Luo Xuan, give your Martial Uncle some more golden pills. I'll trade you the Pangu Banner for them."

Tongtian: "A bunch of good-for-nothings. If you could all be half as outstanding as Luo Xuan, your master would be satisfied."

The Two Sages of the West: "Luo Xuan, your pills... are poisonous!"

Nuwa: "Nephew Disciple, your Pill Dao has reached the profound. Why not come sit at my Wa Imperial Palace?"

Chapter 1: Lighting the Furnace and Refining Pills, Merit Descends from Heaven

Within the many houses piled together from grass and wood, wisps of cooking smoke rose into the air.

Every now and then, one or two children could be seen playing and making merry.

A youth dressed in animal hide slowly approached from the distance. His delicate face held a pair of eyes as bright as the stars.

"Luo Xuan is back?"

Everyone who saw him revealed a warm smile.

Luo Xuan smiled and responded to each of them in turn.

Only after returning to his own house did the youth slump down.

"The Primordial World is too terrifying. I want to go back to Earth!"

The youth wore a mournful expression, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

As a corporate drone, he had been quite excited when he first transmigrated.

But after learning about this world, he suddenly felt that transmigrating was not necessarily a good thing.

Because the place he had transmigrated to was the Primordial World.

As someone who often read novels, he naturally knew how dangerous the Primordial World was.

Although the Three Pure Ones and the Two from the West had yet to become Sages in the current Primordial World,

he had somehow arrived right in the middle of the Witch-Demon Calamity.

The Witch-Demon war raged across the heavens and earth.

At first, Luo Xuan naturally tried every possible means, but unfortunately, none of them could send him back.

Although he looked young, he had actually spent several years in the Primordial World.

Because he was an Innate Human, he had not changed much.

Of course, although Innate Human sounded impressive, he was merely an early-stage Heavenly Immortal. After several years, his cultivation had not shown any movement.

If he went outside, he could be killed by someone in a matter of minutes.

After several years, Luo Xuan had come to terms with it and decided to stay in the Primordial World and go with the flow.

He figured that, as a transmigrator, he should encounter some fortuitous opportunity even without a cheat.

Perhaps his luck was simply terrible. He had gone out several times and had not even seen a single strand of hair.

Several times, he had nearly lost his life.

"No. From now on, I'll just wander around the tribe. Even if someone beats me to death, I'm not going out to take risks anymore."

Luo Xuan clenched his fists.

Just then, Luo Xuan suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Puzzled, he opened the door and saw many people running in the same direction.

"What happened?" Luo Xuan grabbed someone and asked.

The man said in surprise, "You don't know? Someone who left the tribe just came back and said he encountered a treasure."

The man looked excited. Every so often, he glanced toward where the crowd was rushing, as if afraid that he would miss the treasure if he arrived even a moment late.

Luo Xuan's hand trembled.

Why don't I ever have such good luck?

Seeing how anxious the man was, Luo Xuan asked curiously, "Do you know what it is?"

"I heard it's an Alchemy Furnace."

Luo Xuan froze upon hearing that. While he was distracted, the man broke free of his grip and sprinted away.

"An Alchemy Furnace."

Luo Xuan's eyes brightened, and he sighed with emotion. In his previous life, he had also studied the Pill Dao and knew the methods of alchemy.

He simply did not know whether they would work in the Primordial World.

Driven by curiosity, Luo Xuan soon saw that Alchemy Furnace.

The entire Alchemy Furnace stood on three legs, emanating an archaic aura.

A burly man stood beside the Alchemy Furnace, boasting proudly to everyone about how he had found it.

Clearly, he was the one who had discovered the Alchemy Furnace.

"I'm telling you, when I saw that black tiger, I knew it was no ordinary beast. After secretly following it, I ended up finding this Alchemy Furnace..."

The man spoke with great animation, but everyone's attention was focused on the Alchemy Furnace.

An older member of the human race gazed at the Alchemy Furnace and praised it. "What a treasure! Truly, what a treasure!"

"How do you know it's a good treasure? Can you refine pills?"

"I can't..." The man immediately looked embarrassed.

His response drew a chorus of jeers, and everyone began whispering among themselves.

The awkward part was that no one knew how to use the Alchemy Furnace.

Just then, an old man walked over. It was Suiren Shi.

Although Suiren Shi looked old and frail, he moved with the vigor of a dragon and a tiger.

Everyone who saw him made way.

Soon, Suiren Shi arrived in front of the Alchemy Furnace.

"Good stuff. It's at least a mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure."

Suiren Shi stared at the Alchemy Furnace and nodded repeatedly. Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard his words. Their tribe did not have many mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasures!

"Does anyone here know how to use an Alchemy Furnace? Feel free to take it," Suiren Shi said, sweeping his gaze over the crowd.

But no one stepped forward. Although they coveted the Alchemy Furnace, they also knew their own limits.

Suiren Shi felt helpless. Just as he was looking at the Alchemy Furnace and wondering what to do with it, he suddenly heard a voice.

"I do."

Everyone was shocked and turned to look at the youth who had spoken.

"Luo Xuan? You really know how to refine pills?" Suiren Shi was also startled.

When he asked the question, Suiren Shi had not held out any hope. After all, there was no method of alchemy passed down within the tribe.

Suiren Shi looked at the youth before him, somewhat disbelieving.

Luo Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I do."

Suiren Shi laughed heartily. "Good! Then I'll leave this Alchemy Furnace to you. Relax. Even if you fail to refine any pills, it's no big deal."

Luo Xuan had originally lacked confidence, but after hearing Suiren Shi say this, he instead felt that he had to refine some pills to prove himself.

Looking at the hopeful eyes surrounding him, Luo Xuan became even more determined.

Soon, the Alchemy Furnace was carried back to Luo Xuan's home, and news that Luo Xuan knew how to refine pills spread throughout the entire tribe.

All kinds of spirit roots and immortal herbs were sent to Luo Xuan.

"This looks a little like ginseng. I'll add a bit of it."

"This smells pretty good. Could it be similar to honeysuckle? I'll add it too."

"This... forget it. Whatever."

After spending several years in the Primordial World, Luo Xuan had more or less learned about some of its spirit roots.

They were worlds apart from those in his previous life, however.

It should be fine, right?

Under these circumstances, day after day, the Alchemy Furnace, roasted day and night, finally reacted.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion rang throughout the tribe.

"What happened? What happened?"

"Could the Witch and Demon races have attacked?"

Soon, the people noticed the billowing black smoke above Luo Xuan's home.

Was this really the kind of commotion alchemy could create?

Everyone stared strangely at the black smoke.

Suiren Shi, however, arrived first. He stared intently at the black smoke, excitement flickering in his eyes.

Because within that black smoke, he saw a streak of golden light.

And when the black smoke dispersed, golden clouds gathered in the sky.

Suiren Shi's entire body trembled. He shouted excitedly, "Merit! That's merit!"

This time, it was not merely the entire tribe that erupted in excitement.
