Pills Complete, Qingyan's Worries
Inside the underground fire chamber, the fire continued to rise, casting a reddish glow on Ye Jingcheng's face.
The surrounding rooms were also filled with inscribed Spirit Patterns, which flickered along with the operation of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Ye Jingcheng closed the gate to the subterranean fire, and as the fire abruptly stopped, the room was immediately filled with less firelight.
Even for him, refining the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid required utmost concentration, and naturally, any external forces that might interfere were unacceptable.
The Crimson Flame Fox was also consuming Fire Beast Pill nearby, recovering its Spiritual Qi.
As for the Treasure Radiance, he did not use it immediately, but waited until the refining process to use it if any problems arose.
The key to the Five-Element Heavenly Palace Secret Art's ability to protect the Divine Soul, extract the Purple Mansion, and form Heavenly Palaces of various attributes lies in the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid.
If this step fails, Ye Jingcheng will only be able to condense an ordinary Purple Mansion.
That would be a waste of such a powerful Secret Method, which is not what Ye Jingcheng wants to see.
Seeing that the Crimson Flame Fox was recovering, Ye Jingcheng also began to meditate and cultivate the Four-Aspect Heavenly Origin Scripture restore his Spiritual Qi.
After restoring his spiritual Spiritual Qi, he resumed cultivating the Heavenly Soul Art. However, once he reached the Earthly Soul level, the boost from the Heavenly Soul Art was already minimal.
This is, after all, just a Secret Method, but it's quite good for cultivating one's mind and conserving energy.
Furthermore, it also resulted in a slight increase in Divine Sense.
Once his Divine Soul had fully recovered and his energy and spirit were at an unprecedented peak, Ye Jingcheng took out the Jade Slip and began to compare it with the materials in front of him, while also going through the entire process of alchemy in his mind.
Just as Ye Xuefu taught, everyone needs to prepare before alchemy; Ye Xuefu's preparation was meditation, and Ye Haiyun's was weighing the medicine.
Ye Jingcheng was simply deducing it in his mind.
After several deductions, he was confident in his abilities. The moment he opened his eyes, the Crimson Flame Fox beside him chirped twice, indicating that it had also recovered.
Ye Jingcheng immediately activated the Heavenly Bell Furnace, causing the Crimson Flame Fox to spew flames, which rose higher and higher.
The Heavenly Bell Furnace instantly circulated with Spirit Patterns, forming the spiritual image of an ancient bell, and remained silent, perfectly completing the furnace's formation!
Ye Jingcheng did not rush to refine it, but instead allowed the Heavenly Bell Furnace to continue nurturing it for a while.
Only when the energy was extremely potent did the spirit medicine be added one by one in a specific order.
The Heavenly Bell Furnace was far more stable than the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace, greatly enhancing Ye Jingcheng's control over the heat.
Even a slight chiming sound indicates that the heat may be too high and needs to be adjusted immediately.
This faint chime, which might be extremely difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, is very clear to cultivators.
Therefore, Ye Jingcheng definitely made a profit by spending tens of thousands of Spirit Stones to buy this Heavenly Bell Furnace. The only problem is that the Taiyi Sect shouldn't find out, otherwise he won't be able to say anything when it's handed over to him later.
As the flames continued to burn, the liquid inside the Pill Furnace turned a brilliant golden color.
Despite its name, the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid is actually golden, just like the Purple Palace Jade Liquid.
This time, Ye Jingcheng still used the Six-Part Alchemy Method.
The various spirit medicine were divided into six portions according to their properties and then slowly blended together.
He didn't need to refine many portions of the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid; he only needed to succeed once, enough for him to cultivate the Five-Element Heavenly Palace.
Once he breaks through to the Purple Mansion, refining this spiritual liquid will be much simpler, and then he will naturally be able to refine it for others.
Increased cultivation level can greatly benefit alchemy.
"We need to be even more serious from now on!" Ye Jingcheng spared a moment, channeling a considerable amount of Treasure Radiance into the Crimson Flame Fox.
Then, the Crimson Flame Fox's three tails each ignited Spirit Flame, pointing towards the Pill Furnace from three different directions at different temperatures.
Ye Jingcheng then began to release the most important Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Grass and Five-Hundred-Year Spring-Returning Flower, which are also the most important components of the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid.
The former's effect on nourishing the Divine Soul is several times better than that of the Jade Soul Grass.
As the two medicines were put into the furnace, faint crackling sounds occasionally rang out, which immediately made Ye Jingcheng tense.
This indicated that the cooking time had gone wrong, and the Crimson Flame Fox's eyes suddenly widened, its three tails standing tall, indicating that its control over the cooking time had reached its limit.
Fortunately, at the most crucial moment, the clear chime did not ring out.
A day and a half passed in the blink of an eye. Blood vessels had already appeared in the Crimson Flame Fox's pupils, and Ye Jingcheng was not at ease either.
The complexity of the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid was the most difficult Ye Jingcheng had encountered in recent years.
The Crimson Flame Fox has already used its Treasure Radiance three times.
Even though it was a late-stage second-tier Demon Beast, it was still somewhat inadequate.
This is still a top-grade second-tier Pill Furnace, the Heavenly Bell Furnace. If we continue to use the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace, the situation will probably be even worse.
As the Pill Furnace rotated at high speed, layers of golden spiritual mist appeared Pill Furnace.
Although no Pill Fragrance appeared, Ye Jingcheng's face finally turned from pale to joyful.
This means that the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid is about to be completed.
Only the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid that produces a spiritual mist is a successful spirit liquid.
This is equivalent to the formation of a magic pill.
It's a pity there's no Pill Fragrance, nor any unusual phenomena resembling cinnabar patterns.
Ye Jingcheng was not discouraged, and instead used his Lineage's Spirit-Enhancing Secret Art once again.
After a long while, as the furnace lid flew off, a Pill Fragrance finally wafted out from Pill Furnace.
Although it wasn't strong, it was enough to make Ye Jingcheng extremely happy.
Moreover, judging from the Pill Furnace, the amount of this Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid is quite substantial, enough to be considered one and a half portions.
Ye Jingcheng carefully put the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid into a jade box, and then began to meticulously wipe the Pill Furnace. This refining process was also somewhat dangerous. If it were the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace, he might not have succeeded.
Naturally, his regard for the Heavenly Bell Furnace also rose to a higher level.
As for the Three Thousand Harmony Furnace, when does Ye Jingcheng plan to give it to Ye Xingyi?
After cleaning the Pill Furnace, Ye Jingcheng fed the Crimson Flame Fox Fire Beast Pill and Treasure Radiance.
The latter was indeed tired; although its eyes showed a great deal of exhaustion, it still chirped excitedly, its voice joyful and long.
After Ye Jingcheng finished refining, he also took out the Jade Slip to summarize. He did not plan to leave seclusion immediately, but instead prepared to refine the Purple Palace Jade Liquid again.
After all, these two kinds of spiritual liquids are somewhat similar, both used for breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm, so we can strike while the iron is hot.
Of course, sufficient preparation and numerous attempts are still necessary beforehand.
Outside, as the bell rang for the second time, Ye Qingyan came out and greeted Uncle Xingming affectionately.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the adjacent fire chamber and was somewhat disappointed to find there were no gaps.
He waited until the last person was present before taking out the several jade bottles. He looked at Ye Xingming:
"Uncle Xingming, did I offend Uncle Eleven?" Ye Qingyan couldn't help but ask.
Ye Xingming glanced at the spirit pills that had been delivered, and seeing that a few of the Spirit Feeding Pill still emitted Pill Fragrance, he couldn't help but ask:
"Did you just refine these Spirit Feeding Pills?" Ye Xingming didn't care about Ye Jingcheng's anger or anything; he was only looking at Ye Qingyan and noticed that his spirit pill refining skills were exceptionally high, and he was even able to refine spirit pills with spiritual fragrance.
Keep in mind that the latter is only fourteen years old and at the third level of Qi Refining. Many clansmen at this age and with this level of cultivation would turn into lumps of black coal when trying to refine Grain Avoidance Pill.
"I refined it by following Uncle Eleven's method!" Ye Qingyan couldn't help but say.
"It's alright. Your eleventh uncle is the head of the family. If he wanted to talk about you, he would have already said so. He's probably refining some very important eleven pills inside. Besides, you should call him the head of the family in the Lineage, but it's fine to call him your eleventh uncle in private." Ye Xingming carefully instructed him.
Although Ye Qingyan was highly regarded by Ye Jingcheng, Ye Xingming still needed to provide him with key guidance.
Otherwise, the head of the family would lose his authority, and things would become disorderly.
"Thank you very much, Uncle." Ye Qingyan was overjoyed to hear this.
He then raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with determination.
"Uncle, I also want to choose a Fire Attribute Spirit Beast and then go to Taihang Marketplace it."
"That's good, that's ambitious, but before that, let's refine the Azure Spirit Pill first!" Ye Xingming nodded, and couldn't help but pat Ye Qingyan's head, his eyes shining.
For someone over seventy years old, what could be more joyful than seeing the descendants of their clan excel?
In the Earth Fire Chamber, as the intense light flowed once more, Ye Jingcheng started the furnace again.
This time, the spirit medicine is also the spirit medicine of the Purple Palace Jade Liquid.
Compared to the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid, the Purple Palace Jade Liquid is more complex, after all, it is a recognized spirit medicine that can potentially enhance the third level of the Purple Mansion.
At the auction, it fetched a price of over 200,000.
This is enough to demonstrate the preciousness of the Purple Palace Jade Liquid.
After refining the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid, Ye Jingcheng deduced the process six times and also tried refining it using a large quantity of auxiliary ingredients.
He only started the furnace after everything was confirmed.
Compared to half a month ago, the Crimson Flame Fox's cultivation aura has become much stronger, and it breathes flames with ease.
This time, it went even more smoothly than refining the Purple-Condensing Spirit Liquid. As the spiritual light completely transformed into six balls of spiritual liquid, Ye Jingcheng also took out his only Purple Jade Fruit.
As the Purple Jade Fruit was placed into the furnace, Ye Jingcheng's breathing became slightly rapid.
The Crimson Flame Fox also began to use illusions, with four Crimson Flame Fox spirit shadows coming from four directions, wielding flames to melt the elixir.
At this moment, the Pill Furnace also began to emit a long, thin, buzzing sound.
This made Ye Jingcheng's heart jump into his throat.
His attention was more focused than ever before, constantly adjusting the heat and controlling the spiritual liquid inside the Pill Furnace according to the actual situation.
After the sound of the bell finally stopped, Ye Jingcheng was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he still dared not relax.
Ye Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief after the golden spiritual liquid inside had completely transformed into Purple Palace Jade Liquid.
However, the quality of this Purple Palace Jade Liquid is not perfect, not to mention the presence of spiritual fragrance and spiritual shadows.
Ye Jingcheng also activated the Spirit-Enhancing Secret Art once again.
Finally, with the furnace lid lifted, the Purple Palace Jade Liquid was successfully refined.
However, even with the Spirit-Enhancing Secret Art, it still didn't reach the level of a spiritual incense.
But for Ye Jingcheng, that was enough.
Now that everything is ready, he only needs to temper his mind and avoid making the same mistakes as last time when Heart Demon Tribulation.
Ye Jingcheng carefully put away the Purple Palace Jade Liquid and began wiping the Pill Furnace again. After he finished, he looked at the Crimson Flame Fox.
"Once we get back to the courtyard, I'll let you devour the Azure Sun Flame. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, we'll share the consequences!" Ye Jingcheng's words were resolute!
