Chapter 750: Sea of Fire, Pill Furnace

Upon seeing the spatial portal leading to the ninth level of the Pill Tower, Wang Jianqiang was the first to fly toward it.

Just as he was about to step into the spatial portal, an invisible barrier appeared, blocking him directly on the outside.

"Huh?"

A look of surprise appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

Although there were also Restrictions outside the spatial portals of the previous levels of the Pill Tower, the strength of the Restrictions was exactly the same, all being only at the Fifth-tier Will Stage.

As long as one's cultivation reached the Sixth-tier Will, one could pass through.

But outside this passage leading to the ninth level of the Pill Tower space, the power of the Restriction had taken a significant leap.

According to Wang Jianqiang's estimation, if one did not possess power at the Ninth-Order Will Stage, one would likely be unable to pass.

He could unleash Destruction Power, and the intensity of that power would indeed meet the requirement.

It was just that Destruction Power possessed the characteristic of destroying everything, and he did not know if it would cause damage to the teleportation portal.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Just at this moment, a fragrant breeze drifted into his nose, and Mu Lingxi arrived by his side.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "The Restriction here is a bit strong."

"Senior Brother can't get in?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Mu Lingxi's face.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "It's not that strong; I just didn't react in time. As long as the power intensity reaches the Ninth-Order Will Stage, one can enter."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi's expression relaxed.

As long as it only required the Ninth-Order Will Stage to enter?

Then there was no problem.

This Pill Tower was a good place, and the ninth level, being the highest level of the Pill Tower, was rumored to contain a batch of Great Pill refined by the Pill Emperor.

If it could not be obtained, that would be a great pity.

At the same time, Wang Jianqiang's consciousness had already entered the Spirit God Ring, "Xiaobai, give me some strength."

"About the Ninth-Order Will Stage will do."

The next moment.

A surge of power poured into his body.

Noticing the change in the aura on Wang Jianqiang, Mu Lingxi was startled.

"It's Bai Xianzi's power."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I was worried that using Destruction Power would affect this passage, so I temporarily borrowed Bai Xianzi's power."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxi immediately showed a look of admiration, "Bai Xianzi is a dignified Great Vehicle stage Cultivator, yet she can be so thoughtful; Senior Brother is truly amazing."

Wang Jianqiang gave a dry cough, responded vaguely, and then immediately employed the technique of changing the subject.

"Lingxi, after we finish exploring this Pill Tower, we still have to go to the Artifact Pavilion and the Dharma Hall; time is tight."

"We shouldn't delay."

After saying this, he walked quickly toward the spatial portal.

As he approached the spatial portal, he shrouded his whole body in Spiritual Power. This time, he was not Repelled by the Restriction outside the spatial portal and walked directly through the Restriction into the spatial portal.

Mu Lingxi followed closely behind and also walked in.

Their vision blurred.

The next moment, a sense of scorching heat rushed toward their faces.

Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi subconsciously shrouded their bodies in Spiritual Power.

That sense of scorching heat was immediately neutralized.

The two looked out into the distance.

They discovered that the space on the ninth level of the Pill Tower was far smaller than the previous eight levels.

Looking ahead, they saw a sea of fire rolling a hundred miles away.

The scorching temperature the two felt was precisely released from within the sea of fire.

This sea of fire occupied half the area of the ninth-level space, and the soaring flames illuminated the sky of this space in a bright red.

"Senior Brother, look over there!"

Just then, Mu Lingxi suddenly pointed to a position above the sea of fire.

Wang Jianqiang looked in the direction of her finger and then raised his eyebrows.

A Pill Furnace was actually suspended there.

Against the backdrop of the vast sea of fire, the Pill Furnace appeared very small and inconspicuous.

But in reality, the Pill Furnace was a hundred zhang in diameter, which could be called a behemoth.

The Pill Furnace rose and fell above the sea of fire, and with every sway, the sound of liquid flowing would emerge from within.

"Senior Brother, there seems to be something inside this Pill Furnace. This should be the batch of Great Pill left behind by the Pill Emperor, right?"

Just then, Mu Lingxi's voice came again.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "That should be correct."

A look of eagerness flashed across Mu Lingxi's face, "The Pill Emperor was an Eighth-Rank Alchemist; the pills inside must be at least Eighth-Rank, right?"

"The Pill Furnace is sealed by a Restriction, so the grade and quantity of the pills inside cannot be discerned, but one thing can be confirmed for now..."

"This Pill Furnace itself is a rare treasure."

Wang Jianqiang's gaze swept over the Pill Furnace, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Pill Furnaces above the Seventh-Rank were very rare. Although he was quite wealthy, the highest quality Pill Furnace he possessed was only a Sixth-Order Magic Treasure.

This furnace was at least an Eighth-Order Pill Furnace.

Not to mention the value of the Pill in the Pill Furnace, if he could obtain this Pill Furnace, it would count as a tremendous harvest for him.

"Then what are we waiting for? I'll go take a look first."

As Mu Lingxi said this, she prepared to fly toward the space above the sea of fire.

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly pulled her back, "Lingxi, be careful."

"As long as one is a Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator, they can enter this space; although Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivators are rare, the Four Great Powers are still able to cultivate one every so often."

"Why hasn't this Pill Furnace been taken away?"

Mu Lingxi was startled, "Does Senior Brother mean that there is hidden danger here?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Mu Lingxi's expression also turned grave.

Her gaze swept across this space and finally landed on the sea of fire, "If there is anywhere in this place most likely to hide danger, it can only be this sea of fire."

"How about... I go scout the path first."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Although your cultivation has already surpassed the limit and reached above the Ninth-Order Will Stage."

"But facing the dangers of this place, one cannot say there is complete certainty, so it is better that I do it."

"I can borrow Xiaobai's power, which is enough to deal with any risks in this Secret Realm."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi's eyes lit up.

That's right~

They had a former Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator on their side, after all.

After the two reached an agreement, Wang Jianqiang slowly approached the edge of the sea of fire.

Upon arriving at the edge of the sea of fire, his figure paused.

"Xiaobai, lend me all your power."

As his intent entered the Spirit God Ring, a tyrannical power instantly surged out from the Spirit God Ring, flowing from his fingers throughout his entire body.

His figure flashed, and he rushed above the sea of fire.

The moment he entered the area above the sea of fire, the sea of fire seemed to have been provoked and instantly began to churn.

Flame beasts leaped out from the sea of fire one after another, charging toward Wang Jianqiang.

The aura of every single flame beast was incomparably formidable, enough to rival a Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator.

Facing the attacks of these dozens of flame beasts, if it were any other Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator, they would likely perish in an instant.

However.

Supported by Xiaobai's cultivation, Wang Jianqiang already possessed power at the early Integration Stage level.

With just a wave of his palm, these powerful flame beasts simultaneously burst apart.
