Crimson flames licked at the ancient Bronze Pill Furnace.
A bluish-white light gradually emanated from the furnace, isolating it from the intense fire. Chen Shuangbai walked up to the Pill Furnace and examined it closely.
He had lost count of how many times he had been amazed by the richness of the sea.
The crafting technique of this Pill Furnace is not as good as that of the Pill Furnace in the Jade Spring Sect, but the materials are indeed top-notch. If it were in Yao Jie's eyes, he would definitely scold the craftsman who made this Pill Furnace for wasting such a precious resource.
Stone shelves were carved into the surrounding rock walls, displaying a dazzling array of jade boxes and bottles, all of which were auxiliary materials needed for this alchemy.
The rich Spiritual Qi, mixed with the heat of the earth fire, lingered in the cave.
Chen Shuangbai did not rush to take action. Instead, he carefully examined the Pill Formula slip containing the pill Jade Slip. After confirming that it was correct, he closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on a jade bed in the room, and deduced the formula with his eyes closed.
This was taught to him by Yi Chongyue.
From then on, before each time Chen Shuangbai opened the furnace, he would close his eyes and use his Divine Sense to rehearse the process in his mind before opening his eyes.
"Open the furnace!"
Chen Shuangbai recited a sentence, then flicked her finger, injecting a stream of Law Power into the core of the Earth Fire Array.
With a buzzing sound, the ground array patterns lit up, and the restraint on the earth fire loosened slightly. Under the Pill Furnace, the crimson flames suddenly surged, like dancing seaweed.
Various spiritual materials flew out from both sides and were extracted into medicinal liquid by Chen Shuangbai.
The following steps proceeded in an orderly manner.
at the same time.
Outside the equipment room.
The changes in the world are becoming increasingly apparent.
The wind grew stronger day by day, turning from a damp, cold breeze into a howling gale.
The sky was completely obscured by thick, leaden clouds, making even the daytime seem like dusk, creating a scene where day and night were indistinguishable.
Bai Nianyuan stood on a high rock on the island, gazing at the increasingly violent scene outside the formation, his brows furrowed slightly.
He has already sent a message to White Feather Cave, explaining that this is where they will be passing through the storm season.
As he watched the towering waves crashing against the array's light barrier, Bai Nianyuan couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to himself that this storm season was getting more and more violent each year.
At this moment, day and night are indistinguishable, and the mind is in chaos. Many sea creatures in the deep sea are blinded and begin to stir up trouble.
Fortunately, Bai Nianyuan brought many clansmen from the demon cave and stockpiled a lot of spiritual materials on the island, which allowed him to remain calm and collected.
Before you know it, a month has passed.
Chen Shuangbai stood in front of the Pill Furnace, frowning slightly as he watched the few charcoal-like objects flying out of it.
This was his second failure.
Bai Nianyuan prepared five sets of materials, so Chen Shuangbai has three more chances.
The charred pill fell into Chen Shuangbai's hands. He examined it carefully, smelled it, closed his eyes, and began to deduce its nature. After figuring out where the problem was, he started the next round of refining.
He was clearly not in a hurry.
This is an ancient Pill Formula, so naturally it differs from modern Pill Formula in many ways.
The third refining process.
Chen Shuangbai has made progress, but she still failed.
He stared at the pills that had turned to charcoal once more, lost in thought.
"Where did things go wrong...?"
Although Chen Shuangbai had anticipated that this alchemy process would be fraught with obstacles and difficulties before even beginning,
But to my surprise, I failed three times in a row.
But he was not discouraged or frustrated; instead, he began to seriously analyze the reasons for his failure.
He then sat in meditation for another ten days or so.
During this time, he would get up from time to time to check the auxiliary materials, and he would carefully examine all three failed pills he had produced, not only to check the properties of the medicinal materials, but also to see if there were any oversights in his refining technique.
at this time.
The howling storm outside reached its peak.
All that could be seen was complete darkness; only in the instant when lightning tore through the sky could one glimpse the terrifying sight of the world collapsing.
Amidst the howling wind, rain, and towering waves, the island's protective array of light flickered intermittently. Spirit Stone were constantly burning on the island to support the array's operation.
Bai Nianyuan could no longer remain uninvolved.
He arrived at the core of the formation on the island, and transformed into his true form as White Feather Stork.
It was a large stork.
Its wingspan is about three zhang, its feathers are as white as snow, the tips of its wings and tail feathers have a faint metallic luster, its beak and claws are like black jade shimmering with light, and a powerful Demon Power flows from its body, while the Spirit Stone piled up around it like small mountains are being consumed at a crazy rate.
The formation gradually stabilized, and Bai Nianyuan then transformed back into human form.
"Young Master..."
A Demon Cultivator walked in from outside, a hint of worry on his face. He said, "This storm season is even more intense than the previous two. I'm afraid some unnecessary changes may occur."
Bai Nianyuan's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "Don't worry, it's all under my control."
Time flows like water, passing by amidst the flickering of the cinnabar fire and the howling of the storm.
Gradually, the storm that raged across the land began to subside.
This means the storm season is almost over.
Bai Nianyuan's tense emotions gradually relaxed. He, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Demon Cultivator, no longer needed to preside over the formation. The formation could safely weather this stormy season simply by operating on its own.
Inside the volcano chamber, time seemed to stretch out.
Chen Shuangbai has fallen into a strange state.
His Divine Sense was now fully released, observing the changes in the medicinal properties within the Pill Furnace before him. The sounds of wind, rain, and waves outside seemed to gradually fade into the distance, becoming a blurred background. Inside the furnace, only the gentle hum of the Pill Furnace and the increasingly rich and mellow fragrance of the elixir remained.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Shuangbai gradually emerged from this wondrous state. Opening her eyes, she saw that the earth fire beneath the Pill Furnace was gradually receding, and three pills, each the size of a longan, were now suspended inside the furnace.
The moment the elixir was completed, a powerful yet gentle vitality rippled outwards from the Pill Furnace like waves, instantly filling the entire chamber.
After just two breaths, Chen Shuangbai felt refreshed and his Law Power, which had been somewhat depleted over the past month, was significantly restored.
Everything fell into place naturally and effortlessly.
Chen Shuangbai raised his hand and placed three Aging-Delay Pill into a jade bottle. He probed them with his Divine Sense and a satisfied look appeared on his face.
One genuine piece, two premium pieces...
That's already quite remarkable.
After calming his mind, Chen Shuangbai suppressed the abundant gains of the trip, put away the [ Six Directions Perfect Light Formation ], and then opened the door of the artifact room, addressing the two White Feather Cave Demon Cultivator who were attending him:
"Go and inform your young master that the elixir has been successfully made."
