What, are you afraid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong immediately raised his eyebrows and puffed out his chest: \"What is there to be afraid of?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lie laughed out loud: \"Good, I didn't misjudge you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changing the subject, he added: \"Actually, cultivating with the aid of a pill furnace has been done since ancient times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must have heard of the divine ability Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To refine this divine ability, one must first possess the immortal aptitude of Fiery Eyes or Golden Gaze, and then crawl into an old pill furnace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the furnace is lit, the cultivator must endure the bitter suffering for forty-nine days, unable to close their eyes the entire time, at most blinking. They must fully withstand the smoke and fire, and grit their teeth through the pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to be mentally prepared for this time you crawl into the pill furnace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong nodded with a solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lie opened his storage bag and took out a large bowl and a small glass bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the bowl was an amber-colored, viscous substance, orange-yellow and translucent. In the small bottle were red and yellow mixed powder granules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lie instructed: \"Come, take off all your clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, apply what is in this bowl, then sprinkle the medicinal powder from the bottle all over your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong said \"oh,\" stripped himself bare, and took the bowl and small bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first applied the contents of the bowl, then evenly sprinkled the powder from the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gradually felt something was not quite right. While sniffing, he said: \"Old Sun, why does this feel like honey and cumin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lie tilted his head back, took a large gulp of wine from his gourd, and then laughed: \"Haha, you only just realized? Your grandfather said you were extremely poor at the hundred arts of cultivation; he wasn't wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong's face immediately darkened: \"I may not be skilled at alchemy, but I have eaten plenty of pills. And I've eaten even more spiritual food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lie nodded: \"Since ancient times, food and medicine have been inseparable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The best medicinal supplement is dietary supplementation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the difference between so-called spiritual food and spiritual chefs, and spiritual pills and alchemists?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he winked at Meng Chong: \"You wouldn't be worried that I'm trying to take your life, wanting to roast you until you're fragrant and crispy, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had not met Meng Chong many times, he had accurately grasped the latter's personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong was even younger than Ning Zhuo, only fourteen, though he looked like he was eighteen or nineteen. He had the spirit of a youth, was competitive, and took pride in the Meng surname and his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't look down on me.\" Meng Chong glared at Sun Lie and climbed directly into the Purple Sun Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lie let out a wine-scented burp, followed closely behind, and slammed the furnace door shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the furnace door closing made Meng Chong's heart jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill furnace was sealed, yet there was dim light inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong stood before the furnace door, scanned his surroundings, and immediately discovered that the bottom of the furnace was already covered with various medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Meng Chong felt slightly reassured; this showed that Sun Lie had been prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just looking at the honey and cumin he had been told to apply seemed somewhat unreliable. But considering Sun Lie's status as a master alchemist, this arrangement must have had a purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Meng Chong walked to the center of the pill furnace and sat down cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Purple Sun Furnace, Sun Lie tilted his neck back, swallowed a large gulp of wine, and then spat it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine-fire erupted and ignited the Purple Sun Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a few breaths, the air temperature climbed rapidly. The crimson firelight reflected off Sun Lie's flushed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's coming.\" Meng Chong's heart stirred as he sensed the temperature soaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the pill furnace, which had been dim just a moment ago, instantly brightened, filled with crimson light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong's body temperature rose rapidly; the honey on his surface began to melt, the cumin granules released a wild fragrance, and at the same time, a large amount of magic power steamed out through his pores like clouds and mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, outside the Purple Sun Courtyard, Sun Lingtong's eyes were flashing with strange light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual eyes peered through multiple walls, seeing a blurred scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good. Sun Lie is refining pills; this is an excellent opportunity to strike.\" He felt jubilant inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once alchemy begins, an alchemist often cannot leave their post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that Sun Lie, a peak Foundation Establishment combatant, was temporarily crippled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Array-Breaking Talisman, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong was very decisive, directly unleashing his strongest means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the attack, the Purple Sun Courtyard's array activated in an instant, forming a hemispherical light shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Array-Breaking Talisman appeared small and exquisite, insignificant, but upon landing on the light shield, it immediately disintegrated, and the tiny specks of light it dissolved into directly melted away the hemispherical shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Sun Courtyard's array had failed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go.\" Ning Zhuo had been waiting for a long time and flicked his cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of mechanical Thunder-Silence Birds shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They streaked across the air with flashes of lightning, covering the front courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang, clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing alarm bell erupted within the Purple Sun Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's heartbeat accelerated slightly; he untied the two storage bags at his waist, grabbed the bottoms, opened the mouths, and shook everything inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the mechanical creations grew from small to large, returning to their true size as they hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty brass mechanical men and forty red-copper mechanical beasts lined up in an orderly fashion and charged toward the Purple Sun Courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Sun Courtyard naturally had guards stationed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and eighteen late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were all alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Foundation Establishment cultivators cast spells to clear away the mechanical Thunder-Silence Birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighteen late-stage Qi Refining cultivators formed a battle array, erupting with power exceeding that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and held their ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical creations crashed against them like a tide, while the battle array stood firm like a reef by the sea, unmoved no matter how the tide surged and pounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, that Sun Lie is refining pills in the alchemy room!\" Sun Lingtong's voice was transmitted secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's heart stirred, and he immediately diverted a portion of his machines to charge straight toward the alchemy room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack where the enemy must save!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" The four early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators cursed but did not move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly appeared from the shadows, holding a magic mirror, releasing mirror light that covered all the incoming mechanical creations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With another flick of the mirror, the figure of the Pigtail Guest in the shadows appeared on the mirror's surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's over there!\" the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator holding the mirror shouted, pointing out Ning Zhuo's exact location to his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, a figure shot toward him like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another hidden mid-stage Foundation Establishment!\" Ning Zhuo's pupils constricted. Thunder-Silence Birds circled around him, and the Pigtail Hanging Whip rose like a black python, standing ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sound of a fierce battle erupted in the dark alley where he was hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! I hope this person is a master, just as Sun Lingtong said.\" After glancing in Ning Zhuo's direction, Han Ming also took action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by yin winds, she moved swiftly and silently, like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost shadow flitted about, first charging toward the alchemy room, but seeing another Foundation Establishment cultivator emerge at the door, she decisively turned and charged toward the medicine storage room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did she know that halfway there, sword light flickered and a flying sword shot out like lightning, intercepting the ghost shadow Han Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A peak Foundation Establishment cultivator slowly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tonight I only take pills, I don't want to hurt anyone.\" Han Ming narrowed her eyes and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The response she received was sharp sword light.\u003C\u002Fp>",1408,"2026-06-17T23:33:09.460Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","920be778296df26a6a832be7ce6987853e306495042e7a34c09644a003d5197d","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-47","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-45",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
