Chapter 1340: Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill Completion

The items arrived, and Chen Chuyang was in a very good mood; the more they were anxious, the more it proved his approach was correct.

The Eighth‑grade Pill cannot be given to them too early, nor can it be refined so quickly; even for him, refining an Eighth‑grade Pill is very difficult, and overcoming that is not easy. Over the years he has been researching, and his Pill Refining skill has been improving.

A Seventh‑grade Pill poses no difficulty for him; as for the Eighth‑grade Pill, Chen Chuyang has been studying and contemplating it but has never actually refined it, lacking confidence. He believes his research is not thorough enough and his grasp is low, so he has not proceeded.

Even if he understood the formulas for the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill and the Luotian Snake King Pill, he has been patient and not acted, first because of material issues, second because he thinks his Pill Refining still needs improvement, though his cultivation level is fine.

The biggest worries are the material and Pill Refining issues; once those two are solved, he will naturally refine. At present his Pill Refining has improved; these past years he has not done nothing—besides cultivation and caring for the children, he has been researching Pill Refining.

The Hunyuan Dao Scripture is currently in the mid‑stage of the Sixth Layer; accumulation is ongoing and not easy to complete. The amount of true Qi Chen Chuyang needs is huge—a terrifying quantity—and filling it will take a long time.

He stole Tianwai's celestial spirit twice, supplementing a large wave, yet it was still insufficient; the third theft has not begun. He will start pondering the issue of refining an Eighth‑grade Pill and begin refining; once completed, when to give them is his concern.

If he doesn't refine it, he cannot… be at ease; Qinglong Daoren also cannot explain, and he must not let them block the door, especially the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill. Time is short—only three years—he cannot delay, fearing that two seclusions will cause him to miss the window, and his clone will be hard to account for.

"The refining of the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill is imminent; it cannot be delayed further. The refining of the Eighth‑grade Pill must also be expedited. With so many batches of material ready, I must first refine a furnace batch for Qinglong Daoren, otherwise he keeps urging me."

"This time, Bai Xinlan and Holy Maiden Bai Hang both came to urge, and it's clear they are truly anxious; perhaps something big is about to happen in Cangzhou? They need to prepare in advance?"

Chen Chuyang returned to his room, activated a Formation, and upon returning he informed the two madams, telling them not to disturb him.

Sitting down, Chen Chuyang began to contemplate; the Heavenly Capital Dragon King arrived in person, as did the Mangshan Demon Emperor. Qinglong Daoren sensed his aura and appeared outside Longshe Shan, meaning the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and the Mangshan Demon Emperor met.

What they specifically discussed, the clone does not know, nor does Chen Chuyang, but this shows that the relationship between the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and the Mangshan Demon Emperor is unusual, not as poorly rumored.

"Both the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill and the Luotian Snake King Pill are Eighth‑grade Pills; among them, the Luotian Snake King Pill is naturally more dangerous, inheriting the hazards of the Luotian Pill and the Snake King Pill. Refining it successfully is not easy; it is even harder to refine than the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill."

"Start by trying the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, proceed step by step; do not rush."

Previously, he only had one batch of material, so naturally he didn't dare try; he couldn't guarantee success in one go. Now he has many batches, and the Heavenly Capital Dragon King's essence blood is plentiful, so he can attempt a round.

Moreover, after this period of research, he has long memorized the refining process of the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, having simulated it countless times, and knows it well.

He has an eighty‑percent confidence, and it continues to improve.

Chen Chuyang once again took out the formula for the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, began deep study, and started simulating in his mind.

Before refining, one must simulate countless times to ensure success.

Five days later.

Chen Chuyang awoke from the simulation not feeling fatigued, but rather very spirited.

He immediately began cultivation, adjusting his breath, staying calm.

Two double‑hours later, Chen Chuyang brought out the Alchemy Furnace and numerous materials, placing them before him—all the ingredients for refining the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill. He will start with that; the Luotian Snake King Pill is harder to refine and will be done later.

After his spirit, qi, and body reached their peak, Chen Chuyang exhaled and began refining the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill; each step must not be rushed nor impulsive, proceeding step by step.

"Ignite."

First, warm the Alchemy Furnace, activate its Formation, ignite the furnace, ensuring the internal temperature; every detail must be controlled, and one cannot be hasty.

In Pill Refining, the greatest taboo is haste and impulsiveness; a single misstep means total loss.

Add the materials one by one in order; Chen Chuyang, having simulated countless times, naturally knows what to do.

The preceding procedures are fine; when it comes to the Heavenly Capital Dragon King's essence blood, Chen Chuyang holds his breath and concentrates—this is the most critical moment, and nothing must go wrong.

The Heavenly Capital Dragon King's essence blood, after all, contains the Dragon King's will; opening the bottle, Dragon Might spreads, and a dragon's roar echoes in the room.

"Roar."

Chen Chuyang reached out, seized that drop of essence blood; his true Qi‑condensed hand supports it like a ruby, filled with a violent aura and the Dragon King's majesty.

Chen Chuyang directly applied Protector to that oppressive pressure, then poured it into the Alchemy Furnace; the Pill Fire burns the Heavenly Capital Dragon King's essence blood, merging with numerous flames, already transformed; under the flames the essence blood begins to become pure.

The wildness dissipates, and the Dragon King's will also fades bit by bit.

Several double‑hours later, the will of the Heavenly Capital Dragon King's essence blood dissipates, no longer resisting, and Chen Chuyang continues to add more materials.

Each step is extremely important and cautious.

No tiny detail can be overlooked; a day later, Chen Chuyang stopped adding the spirit pills, focusing all his attention on the Alchemy Furnace.

The Pill Fire burns continuously, cannot stop, and the flames inside the Alchemy Furnace are the same.

It maintains constant burning at a steady temperature, neither high nor low.

His hands continuously pressed seals, accelerating the process.

Another day later.

The Alchemy Furnace calmed; Chen Chuyang gathered hand seals with both hands, placing them all into the furnace—these seals are for condensing the pill, and the final step of the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill is completed.

After the seals are placed, everything is finished.

Chen Chuyang stopped adding more seals and instead stared at the furnace, where the pill began to coalesce.

Pills appeared one by one, and the pill fragrance began to spread.

The Alchemy Furnace could not be restrained; Chen Chuyang waved his hand, reinforcing the room's Formation again.

"Buzz."

The Alchemy Furnace was about to break loose, the pills inside seemed to want to burst out; Chen Chuyang raised his hand, Protector the Alchemy Furnace.

The motion gradually weakened; the pills inside could not escape, obediently being nurtured and burned.

Half a day later.

Five pills appeared.

A complete Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, an Eighth‑grade Pill, top‑grade.
