Level 8 Pill Furnace, Transformation Pill

The next day, atop a mountain peak dozens of miles from Star Moon City, a spatial rift appeared, and several figures darted out of it. Yun Ze, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Gu Yue Na, and Bear Lord landed on the mountaintop. This was the alchemy location they had chosen beforehand. The area was barren and rarely visited, so they did not need to worry about the commotion from pill refinement being too great or being disturbed. "Only start injecting pure energy into my body when I tell you to inject Soul Power. Do not take it upon yourselves to do so, understand?"

Yun Ze instructed Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord. Gu Yue Na's Soul Power was not strong, so she would not be of much help to him and would not need to inject Soul Power later. "Understood." The three of them nodded solemnly.

Yun Ze did not waste any time. He found a flat spot, sat down, and took out the pill furnace he had prepared long ago.

The pill furnace was over a meter tall, pale red throughout, with three legs and two handles. Its middle resembled a round drum, while its top had a conical lid. Its surface was engraved with numerous intricate patterns.

This was no ordinary pill furnace, but a Level 8 Soul Guidance Device. Its material was special and could amplify the temperature of flames, with the only requirement for its user being fire.

As long as one was a fire-attribute Soul Master, even with only Level 1 Soul Power, they could use this Level 8 Soul Guidance Device.

Yun Ze sat cross-legged as flames lit up across the surface of his body, causing the surrounding temperature to rise. With a cry, a phoenix soared into the sky.

The phoenix spread its wings, trailing streams of flame behind it. After flying dozens of meters, it circled through the air before finally landing behind Yun Ze.

Two purple soul rings rose up after it, pulsing around Yun Ze's waist and giving off scorching energy fluctuations.

Yun Ze held his palm toward the furnace, and flames surged from it as he began heating the pill furnace.

Under the searing Phoenix Flames, the temperature of the pill furnace rose rapidly and soon reached the required level.

Yun Ze raised his hand, and his Soul Power formed an invisible giant hand that lifted the furnace lid. One medicinal herb after another was taken from his Storage Ring.

Bi Ji had prepared all of these in advance, and Yun Ze had already processed them. They could now be added directly.

The herbs entered the furnace in sequence. He did not add them all at once, but only about one-third of them.

Clang. The lid closed, and Yun Ze began refining the herbs. From time to time, he extended his spiritual power into the furnace to observe how the ingredients were blending.

The most important thing in pill refinement was spiritual power. In truth, spiritual power was needed throughout the entire process to control the fusion of the medicinal herbs without interruption.

Even ordinary alchemists would not dare to intermittently probe the furnace as Yun Ze did, because doing so came with an extremely high failure rate.

Yun Ze dared to do this for two reasons. First, he had absolute confidence in his alchemy skills. Second, he had no other choice.

His spiritual power was currently limited. If he kept it extended the entire time, he certainly would not be able to bear the consumption and could only check intermittently.

Level 21 Soul Power was ultimately too little. Half an hour later, Yun Ze's Soul Power was exhausted, and Di Tian began injecting Soul Power into him to replenish it.

The Soul Power injected into Yun Ze's body was attribute-less and could be easily absorbed to restore his own reserves.

Di Tian's Soul Power was vastly greater than Yun Ze's. A casual injection was enough to fully restore Yun Ze's Soul Power.

Throughout this process, the flames Yun Ze released never weakened and remained stable the entire time.

The Transformation Pill was not an especially high-grade pill and was not difficult to refine. It was simply that Yun Ze's Soul Power was currently too low, making his refinement efficiency poor and requiring more time.

Of course, its ease of refinement was relative. For Yun Ze, this pill was indeed very simple to make. For anyone else, that was hard to say.

The pill refinement process went very smoothly, though it was rather slow and took a full five days to complete.

During this time, Di Tian continuously injected Soul Power into Yun Ze. By the fourth day, he had to keep injecting it without interruption.

Once Di Tian's Soul Power was exhausted, Bi Ji immediately took over. When her Soul Power was exhausted, Bear Lord took over in turn.

Just as Yun Ze had predicted, it required the Soul Power of three peak-level experts to satisfy the needs of this pill refinement.

Yun Ze exhaled a breath of stale air. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was pale. Five days of uninterrupted pill refinement had left him struggling to endure.

If not for his special physique, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. What ordinary six-year-old child could go five days without sleep or rest?

Moreover, he had continuously expended Soul Power throughout the process. It was equivalent to working at high intensity for five days straight. An ordinary person would have died suddenly long ago.

"Open the furnace," Yun Ze said weakly. He had truly overdrawn himself and no longer had the strength to move.

He was rather dissatisfied with his body. It was simply too weak and could not withstand much strain.

"Alright." Di Tian's words carried barely concealed excitement as he strode forward to lift the furnace lid.

Gu Yue Na came to Yun Ze's side instead, her gaze filled with gratitude and concern. "Are you alright?"

Bi Ji had already begun injecting Soul Power into Yun Ze's body, using energy rich in life force to heal him.

"I'm fine. I'll just need a good sleep once we return," Yun Ze said, shaking his head.

Di Tian lifted the furnace lid, and a nine-colored cloud rose from within. Pill fragrance instantly spread everywhere.

The pill fragrance that had previously been completely sealed within the furnace made everyone's pores relax, bringing a sensation as if their souls had been cleansed. They could not help but let out soft moans.

Even an expert like Di Tian was affected by the pill fragrance, which showed just how extraordinary the pills in the furnace were.

Di Tian impatiently looked into the furnace. Brown pills the size of longan fruit lay scattered within.

"Use Soul Power to take them out," Yun Ze said. He took out two Jade Bottles and tossed them to Di Tian.

Di Tian sheepishly withdrew the hand he had been reaching toward the furnace with, while his other hand caught the two Jade Bottles. He began using Soul Power to remove the pills and place them into the bottles.

As he collected them, he secretly counted the pills. There were exactly one hundred, no more and no less, matching the quantity Yun Ze had mentioned before.

"Try the effects," Yun Ze said to Di Tian, signaling for him to eat one.

Gu Yue Na, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord all looked toward Di Tian, waiting to see the effects after he swallowed the pill.

After all these years, Di Tian understood Yun Ze somewhat and did not doubt his ability. Without hesitation, he took out a pill and swallowed it.

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth. Warm pill liquid flowed into his stomach, then spread outward from his abdomen to his limbs and bones.

Di Tian carefully sensed the changes in his body. The feeling was strange; it seemed as though the pill's energy was reforging his body.

There was no pain, only a slight itch. It was an itch coming from his flesh, organs, and viscera, one that he could not scratch even if he wanted to.

More than ten seconds later, nine-colored light shone across Di Tian's body. The clear sky instantly darkened into a pitch-black, oppressive void.

The nine-colored light illuminated Di Tian, allowing Yun Ze and the others to still see him. Behind him, darkness gathered and gradually took the shape of a giant dragon.

It was a black dragon with a pair of golden eyes. That was Di Tian's true form, the Golden Eyed Black Dragon.

The next sight made Gu Yue Na, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord widen their eyes. A red soul ring began rising beneath Di Tian's feet.

That was right—a red soul ring, the crimson color representing the Hundred Thousand Year level. One, two... nine.
