Chapter 1342: Eighth-grade Pill: Luotian Snake King Pill

Three days later.

Inside the room, Chen Chuyang's body emitted layer after layer of Qi; Hunyuan Qi enveloped his form, forming a sphere that obscured the person inside, with mysterious Qi flowing, moving in tandem with Chen Chuyang's cultivation; each flow caused the room's space to warp.

Upon close inspection, the surrounding cosmic rules also flowed, centered on him and expanding outward; the Formation inside the room was affected, and the sky above Longshe Shan showed changes, invisible to those of low cultivation.

On Longshe Shan, Grandmother Long Zetian suddenly lifted her head, stared at the sky, and inhaled a cold breath: "Hiss, the cosmic rules are changing, space is warping— is Chuyang cultivating?"

She muttered softly: "Chuyang's power becomes ever more terrifying; even I don't know which level he has reached."

"Long Ming truly gave birth to a fine son, what a pity, this youngster does not cling to the Azure Dragon Clan bloodline; if he…"

She felt some regret and also sighed.

The Azure Dragon Bloodline could not achieve such defiance of destiny; that youngster's talent truly defies destiny, and the technique he cultivates is also extremely defiant. At least, she has never seen any of his affairs clearly; from start to finish, it has been a cloud of fog.

His future, fate, destiny, or his cultivation method—each cultivation is accompanied by cosmic anomalies; even if well concealed, close observation still feels that pressure.

"Fortunately, such cosmic anomalies are imperceptible to the weak; others cannot see them."

Long Zetian's heart settled; others cannot notice the movements above the sky. Her gaze fell on the space above Chen Chuyang's room, and she narrowed her eyes.

After a while, Long Zetian finally shifted her eyes away and went to attend to her own matters, accompanying those two little guys to play.

Inside the room.

The Formation returned to normal, the space ceased warping, and the Hunyuan Qi that enveloped Chen Chuyang dissipated at that moment.

It returned to Chen Chuyang's body; his entire Qi reached its limit, filling him completely, and his essence, spirit, and vitality all received a massive boost; the Hunyuan Body became even more terrifying. Chen Chuyang opened his eyes and looked down at his own body.

"My strength broke through again; the Hunyuan Dao Scripture was almost about to break into the later stage of the Sixth Layer, just one step away, but I stopped in time and didn't let myself break through."

"I feel I can still improve; without reaching the limit, I cannot take this step."

"The effect of the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill is truly terrifying; this is only a part, the remaining effect is still being suppressed by the Protector."

He only absorbed a portion of the pill's effect; the rest is sealed inside his body, slowly devouring, slowly being absorbed.

When his body reached its limit, the Hunyuan Body broke through within that limit, repeatedly breaking through to a new limit; this is the Hunyuan Body, whose adaptability is extremely defiant of destiny. Each time he breaks the limit, he feels his body become even more terrifying.

Such advancement is both painful and joyful.

"My essence, Qi, and spirit have reached the limit; now I can refine pills, beginning comprehensive consumption."

Continuous consumption, continuous improvement, thereby strengthening his body.

Body, Qi, and soul all need to reach the limit before the next stage of advancement can proceed.

The more solid the early stage, the more defiant of destiny the later stage becomes.

He is not in a hurry.

Pill refining begins; this time, it's not the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, but another Eighth-grade Pill, the Luotian Snake King Pill. He has held the Luotian Snake King Pill formula for so long without refining it; now, with experience, he can start refining.

The Luotian Snake King Pill is more dangerous; compared to the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill, it is far more hazardous, so it must be handled with caution and refined later.

Previously, Chen Chuyang had little confidence; now, his confidence is great.

"The Luotian Snake King Pill is extremely difficult to refine, very dangerous; the surrounding Formation must be strengthened to ensure …"

Chen Chuyang thought for a moment; he didn't want to damage his own room, nor bring disaster upon the inhabitants of Longshe Shan.

He could only summon the Hunyuan Bell, enter its internal space, and begin refining inside.

The Hunyuan Bell possesses an independent space, filled with many spirit pills, all of Chen Chuyang's treasured spirit pills. He chose a relatively safe spot; even if the refining fails, it won't affect the surrounding spirit pills.

The space is vast; as the Hunyuan Bell continuously upgrades and absorbs more materials, the space expands bit by bit.

Now this space has already exceeded Longshe Shan by dozens of times, still expanding, and will soon reach the size of Longshe Cheng, enough to cultivate many spirit pills. Such a huge area pleases Chen Chuyang, and he intends to make full use of it.

Countless spirit pills, he sat down, arranged the Formation, and then began refining.

The Luotian Snake King Pill refinement begins.

The Alchemy Furnace was ignited; Chen Chuyang took out the materials he had selected, a full batch, and double‑checked them several times.

After confirming no issues, the materials began the refining process.

"My calculations show the Luotian Snake King Pill has no problems; after all, it hasn't been refined before, so its danger coefficient is higher, requiring extra caution; during the refining process, utmost care is needed."

"The refining will be very slow, twice as slow as the Heavenly Capital Dragon King Pill."

This is a duration Chen Chuyang can accept, and it matches his calculations; it's relatively dangerous and requires utmost caution.

Refining begins, cautiously feeding in the materials.

Each item is handled carefully; he dares not be careless, watching the materials dissolve with great vigilance.

He concentrates, staring intently, unwilling to lower his guard.

One after another, the materials are added; merely feeding the materials takes half a day.

When it comes to adding the Heavenly Net White Snake Essence Blood, that's the most dangerous; if it fails to fuse with the spirit pill materials, it will erupt outright.

At the crucial moment, Chen Chuyang watches the essence blood fuse with the materials; this step is extremely important.

The fusion process lasted several hours; the flame burned steadily, and he dared not increase its intensity.

After the fusion, Chen Chuyang let out a sigh of relief, then waited for complete integration; after the first step was done, he continued adding spirit pills, continuing the fusion—each fusion felt like a life‑or‑death ordeal.

A day later, the Alchemy Furnace was still burning, and the spirit pills had finished melting.

This step is considered complete.

Next comes continuous burning, continuous refining.

Two more days later, the liquid impurities in the Alchemy Furnace were removed, moving to the next step: extraction.

This step is also not simple; watch closely, observe carefully.

He controls every movement inside; the soul force continuously influences it.

Another day later, the Alchemy Furnace settled into calm; the most dangerous phase had passed.

The final step remains: pill solidification.

Condensing the pill is also very dangerous; a slight slip means total loss.

"Buzz."

Half a day later, the pill condensed.

Inside the Alchemy Furnace, the embryonic form of the pill appeared.
