The orange-red flames in the furnace had turned blue, and the medicinal herbs inside had been completely melted.
The elixir, enveloped in azure flames, suddenly boiled and began to condense into crystals within the flames, each crystal being concentrated into a pill the size of a goose egg.
As the flames continued to leap within the furnace, the pills within began to shrink. With each reduction in size, the crystals within solidified, while the remaining waste material dissolved into smoke and vanished in the blue flames.
The pill, the size of a goose egg, was being refined hundreds of times in the furnace, and something earth-shattering was happening within the rolling flames.
Sitting cross-legged in the alchemy room, Yuan Changhe dared not be careless in the slightest. His enormous True Spirit was now completely attached to the alchemy furnace.
The nearly formed pill was already emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, and the impurities within it were turned into smoke in the blue flames.
This was the moment when the Wuji Creation Pill was taking shape. He had controlled the surging Magic Power in his body to the extreme, and his True Spirit was constantly sensing the temperature of the flames and the degree of synthesis of the pill.
The Magic Power infused into the flames decreased in size, and the output of Magic Power varied depending on the aura generated when the pill was formed.
Yuan Changhe has devoted himself to this path for countless years, but what is in the furnace now is not just a single pill, but also the hope of the Pill Cauldron Sect.
After being severely ripped off by Old Huang, the Pill Cauldron Sect's resources were almost depleted. The two brothers who obtained the Mist Beast 'Inner Core inner core naturally started their furnace quickly.
This Wuji Creation Pill is not only the hope of the Pill Cauldron Sect, but also the hope for the emergence of another Earth Immortal in Phoenix City.
The Pill Cauldron Sect has been suppressed by the City Lord's Manor for many years. Now, the opportunity is here, and the chance to break the balance of power lies in this furnace!
Yuan Changhe's expression remained calm, but a ripple of emotion stirred within him, for he had sacrificed so much for this...
His focused True Spirit instantly detected the unusual thought in his mind. Fortunately, he was a powerful Earth Immortal, and the Wisdom Sword in his mind instantly severed the distracting thought.
As the Magic Power within his body was slowly released, the azure flames in the furnace became almost tangible, and the crystalline pills within the flames rapidly condensed, transforming into layers of solidity.
At this moment, a powerful aura also arose within the pill, and the layers of crystals even appeared to be in a misty state.
The surface of the pill was covered with wispy cloud patterns, mysterious lines coiled on its surface.
The Inner Core of the Mist Beast, originally the size of a goose egg, has now been refined to the size of a soybean. Despite losing a significant amount of its size, the Inner Core has not diminished its immense energy. On the contrary, due to the Fusion and condensation of the rare and precious materials in the furnace, it has become even more energetic.
Under the tempering of the furnace flames, the Inner Core has shed the impurities from the Mist Beast's body, and its overall aroma is permeated with medicinal fragrance, while its gentle qualities are still evident.
This is the Wuji Creation Pill, which is formed by using the secret of the Inner Core within the Mist Beast. It can help cultivators break through to the Immortal Realm in the Land of Exile where there is no Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Temple.
Yuan Changhe's eyes were filled with excitement. He had created countless pills, but never had a pill given him such a sense of accomplishment.
The precious pills previously given to Old Pavilion Master Huang were already a treasure of the sect; if they were left in Phoenix City, they would surely attract a fierce fight and be Plunder.
But at this moment, the Wuji Creation Pill was about to be formed. Even with his years of self-cultivation, he couldn't help but gleam with excitement in his eyes. This was his greatest achievement since he entered the path of immortality through alchemy.
From now on, Earth Immortal in Yuan Changhe's hands!
Before Yuan Changhe's excitement had subsided, his True Spirit stirred, as if sensing something, and the excited look in his eyes instantly froze.
Then, he frowned and looked at the pill that was about to take shape in the blue flame. The cloud patterns on it were still slowly condensing. If he waited until the cloud patterns on the pill were completely condensed and then extinguished the flame, he could take out the completed pill.
At this point, he no longer needed to concentrate fully on the flames. The most important process of refining the pills had been completed. Now, all that was needed was for the pills to combine with the flames and absorb the medicinal power.
The message that True Spirit received was of utmost importance, leaving Yuan Changhe in a dilemma.
He glanced deeply at the alchemy furnace before him, then sighed, leaving a gray shadow in the alchemy room before turning and leaving.
Yuan Changhe arrived at the main hall in an instant and transmitted his voice to Yuan Changwu:
" Changwu, the city lord just summoned me to go out of the city to investigate the situation of the Mist Beast tide. The Wuji Creation Pill in the alchemy room is nearing its end. Once the flame in the furnace goes out, you can take out the pill and swallow it."
"The city lord said the appearance of the Mist Beast tide was suspicious. After I leave the city, you must guard the mountain gate at all times and not provoke it lightly. I have also left a Dharma Body in the alchemy room. If there is anything, you can discuss it with him."
"Ah! Brother! This horde of Mist Beast is coming, and we still need you to go and cover the battle!"
Yuan Changhe frowned and gave Yuan Changwu some instructions in the main hall of the Daoist temple. Upon hearing this, Yuan Changwu subconsciously asked a question full of surprise and doubt.
He simply couldn't believe that some of the Mist Beast hordes had any real strength, that they would send several Earth Immortal out of the city to investigate.
This was supposed to be a reconnaissance mission, but in the end, they would definitely have to take action against the horde of Mist Beast. How could Yuan Changwu not know the dangers of war?
His elder brother had explained everything to him, even making the best arrangements for the Wuji Creation Pill, which moved Yuan Changwu deeply.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Changhe shook his head slightly in front of him. Putting aside how strange the Mist Beast Tide was, he couldn't refuse the summons sent by the city lord.
The two bowed deeply to the memorial tablet of Late Master Yuan. After Yuan Changhe stood up, he solemnly glanced at Yuan Changwu in the hall, his eyes filled with a deeper meaning. Yuan Changwu knew that his brother's gaze was about the Wuji Creation Pill.
He nodded slightly, and then saw his elder brother's figure retreat from the hall in a few steps. Several gray afterimages remained in the main hall, but his true body had already headed towards the City Lord's Manor.
Yuan Changwu watched his elder brother leave, his face showing a hint of excitement. From his brother's words, he had already learned that the Wuji Creation Pill was nearing completion.
The day the flames in the alchemy furnace in the alchemy chamber automatically extinguish will be the day Yuan Changwu becomes Earth Immortal!
There was a deeper meaning in his elder brother's eyes: no matter how rampant the Mist Beast Tide was in Phoenix City, as long as there was a powerful force within the sect, there would be greater protection!
After Yuan Changhe, a Earth Immortal, emerged from the South Si Dao Field, the North Division Dao Field also received the news. Chen Yuping in the Jade Pavilion looked solemn, and a rare hint of doubt appeared on her usually calm face.
Because many of the resources of the Rogue Cultivators Association are located outside the city, there are a great many cultivators coming and going from Phoenix City every day, and the information she received is far more detailed than that of Yuan Changhe.
She knew that the recent surge of Mist Beast was quite strange; they surrounded the city but did not launch a direct attack, instead constantly intercepting and killing passing cultivators.
With each ice sculpture cultivator that falls, the strength of the Mist Beast Tide increases, while the strength of Phoenix City decreases. This ebb and flow will inevitably lead to an imbalance between the two.
Therefore, the city lord would definitely not allow the Mist Beast tide to act in this way. There are Higher Mist Beast beasts among them, and the cultivators from the Muster Platform would only be throwing their lives away if they went. So the city lord had to summon powerful Earth Immortal immortals to go out of the city to investigate.
But why are the Mist Beast horde besieging the city without attacking? Are they waiting for an opportunity? Or is there some conspiracy outside the city?
If the tide of Mist Beast were to truly attack Phoenix City, the City Lord's Manor would certainly close all eight gates. However, the tide of Mist Beast is currently stuck at a critical juncture and has not advanced any further, leaving the cultivators in Phoenix City feeling quite frustrated but helpless.
In Branch Master Chen's view, the current Mist Beast Tide is like a seasoned hunter, slowly growing stronger on the outskirts of the city, quietly waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the cultivators in Phoenix City to make a mistake, before it will use thunderous means to wipe out the remaining forces of Phoenix City.
Despite his deep worries, Branch Master Chen still got up and headed out of the Jade Pavilion.
The North Division Dao Field must also obey the City Lord's Manor's summons, especially since many cultivators from the Rogue Cultivators Association outside the city have already fallen victim to the Mist Beast Tide.
This reconnaissance mission was both in coordination with the City Lord's Manor and to receive some members of the Rogue Cultivators Association who were about to enter the city.
After a moment's thought, the worry on the leader's face disappeared, his gaze remained solemn, but he had regained his original heroic spirit.
As one of the few powerful Earth Immortal in the Land of Exile, how could the leader be afraid of the conspiracy of the Mist Beast Tide!
" Yuan Changhe ( Chen Yuping ) greets the City Lord!"
"Thank you for coming, Sect Masters and Branch Masters. Recently, a horde of Mist Beast has been rampaging Phoenix City. I sent cultivators from the Muster Platform to drive them away, but they have not been heard from since. Only after consulting the divination did I realize that there is something strange about the Mist Beast horde. This is not something that junior cultivators can investigate. I have no choice but to ask you two to come out of the city with me."
The city lord bowed slightly to the two streaks of light before him, having already made the matter clear in his words. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Branch Master Chen and Sect Master Yuan, and an air of superiority was silently revealed.
Upon hearing this, the two figures in the escaping light immediately returned the greeting to the city lord. As they rose, the three exchanged glances, their understanding of each other evident in their eyes and the silence that filled the room.
Seeing that there were no objections, the city lord waved his hand, and a small Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram rose in his palm, instantly filling Phoenix City with a mysterious aura.
Subtle energy fluctuations emerged within the Eight Gates, drawing upon the profound and mysterious secrets of heaven within Phoenix City. A beam of golden light from the City Lord's Manor appeared within the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
The vast city seemed to be under the control of the city lord. As the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram in his palm rotated, a light screen condensed in the City Lord's Manor.
The three Earth Immortal naturally didn't need to go through the barbican to leave the city. The city lord also didn't want to attract attention, so he simply used the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram to carve out a passage in the City Lord's Manor.
When Chen Yuping and Yuan Changhe sensed the unusual activity in the vast city, their expressions changed slightly. However, when they saw the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram being manipulated in the city lord's hand, their eyes shone brightly.
Although they had witnessed the city lord activate the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram to control the entire city many times, they were still deeply shocked each time they felt the city move with a single formation.
This is the true foundation of the City Lord's Manor. It is far more than Spirit Stone stones and precious pills. It is the most precious treasure that draws the City Heart. This is the foundation of a city and the basis for its survival in the Land of Exile!
Looking at the city lord's extraordinary abilities, the two couldn't help but sigh in unison: their own foundations seemed far too shallow compared to the City Lord's Manor.
At this moment, the city lord activated the light barrier and gestured "please" to the two people opposite him. Seeing that the city lord had opened the passage, the two quickly headed towards the light.
The auras of the three Earth Immortal converged in the City Lord's Manor, and wave after wave of Magic Power overflowed beyond the light screen. The Earth Immortal of Phoenix City were to leave the city today to provide support, and the powerful beings in the Land of Exile were to once again display their glory.
Faced with the endless blue river, Phoenix City showed its attitude.
This is the choice of cultivators, the backbone of the city, the guardian of civilization, and the inheritance of the flame!
The gathering of the three Earth Immortal signifies Phoenix City's unwavering stance against the Mist Beast Mist Beast and the cultivators' courage to resist its threat.
They represent that order still exists in the Land of Exile, and that the cultivators must continue to spread civilization throughout the land!
Phoenix City three Earth Immortal have gathered, is in the Storm Riders today. Scenes that have not appeared for countless years are reappearing today. The power of those great beings will surely be displayed again, and the sharpness that was once buried will burst forth today!
Three figures stood before the light screen, their gazes sharp as lightning, seemingly peeling away the mysterious light screen and piercing through the many obstacles, casting their piercing eyes upon the horde of Mist Beast outside the city.
Meanwhile, countless hordes of Mist Beast continued to surge around the city. They seemed to have already learned of the existence of the Earth Immortal, and under their overwhelming power, the blue river churned violently.
A series of rustling sounds suddenly echoed across the earth. The solid ground was carved into a valley by an endless stream of blue water, within which waves of blue water surged ceaselessly.
Behind those endless waves, it seemed as if pairs of emerald eyes were gleaming with an eerie light, gazing upon the vast city in the distance.
The gaze in her emerald eyes seemed to pierce through numerous obstacles, instantly seeing through the interior of the city. A hint of excitement flickered in her eyes, as if she were waiting for the arrival of the three Earth Immortal.
The hissing sound was unusually clear in the blue river, where several long snake tongues flickered in and out.
They seemed to be exchanging ideas on how to hunt a large prey, their voices carrying a hint of excitement and a long-lost desire.
A meaningful smile flashed in its emerald eyes, reflecting the vast Phoenix City, while it paid no attention to the three Earth Immortal who were about to appear.
On one side is a massive and overwhelming tide of Mist Beast, and on the other side are renowned Earth Immortal immortals from the Land of Exile.
When the two converge, it will surely cause the heavens and earth to tremble. When the Storm Riders arrive, someone will seize the opportunity to rise up and break all the original rules of the Land of Exile!
The three Earth Immortal within the light screen had eyes as sharp as lightning and an aura as powerful as a rainbow. With a subtle energy fluctuation, the light screen gradually became blurred in their eyes.
Yuan Changwu, from the Pill Cauldron Sect, sat in the Daoist temple, full of anticipation, his eyes fixed intently on the blue smoke above his head.
When the smoke stops, the Wuji Creation Pill will be complete, and he will become Earth Immortal!
Inside the City Lord's Manor, Deng Shouchong a worried expression. He kept turning the remaining life tablets on the Muster Platform, pondering the City Lord's Manor's plan.
A banner hung above their heads, its radiant light revealing totemic creatures that flickered in and out of existence. The purple flames seemed poised to ignite the runes on the banner.
