Chapter 532: True Flame Pill Great Perfection, Demon Luo Flow Expert Appears

~15 min read 2,996 words

The reason why Han Zhan was forced to wake up from his recuperation state was not just because his Yin Extreme Puppet could not hold on.

Another important reason was that Luo Chen's refining of the Primordial Cauldron had become increasingly deep over these years.

From the initial impurity quenching to gradually mastering the formations on it, and even delving deep into the magic treasure.

As a result, the space restriction set by Qing Shuang back then was also affected.

Repeated fluctuations left Han Zhan with no quiet environment for recuperation.

For him, it was a bad thing.

For Luo Chen, it was an unadulterated good thing.

This meant that Luo Chen was not far from perfectly mastering the Primordial Cauldron.

Luo Chen also took the opportunity to ask Han Zhan about the backup plan Tian Tian Yezi had left on the Primordial Cauldron.

Regarding this, the answer Han Zhan gave made Luo Chen somewhat surprised.

"Just a temporary measure, no need to worry."

In his astonishment, Luo Chen recalled carefully and gradually understood.

Tian Tian Yezi's artifact refining methods were indeed superb.

But people like Qing Shuang and You Quan were not stupid either.

If he had left too obvious a countermeasure on the Primordial Cauldron, they would definitely have been able to see through it.

Only that kind of inconspicuous and weak temporary measure had a slight possibility of deceiving them.

This also explained why Tian Tian Yezi snatched the Primordial Cauldron in the dungeon of the Du Zhen Hall on Mount Cangwu Mountain, but was unable to drive it freely in the battle with the Thunder Prison God Peng.

He had only left backup plans in some key places.

And these backup plans dissipated directly with Tian Tian Yezi's death.

"No wonder my refining over these years has become increasingly smooth and effortless!"

After realizing this, Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself.

He was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of the rope for ten years!

In his spare time, he also asked Han Zhan about some past events on Mount Cangwu Mountain, such as how he and Tian Tian Yezi conspired to break the dungeon restriction.

Han Zhan also knew everything and told him one by one.

"Those demon cultivators know the 'what' but not the 'why'. Even if the Demon Emperor Qing Luan touched the power of space laws at the Nascent Soul stage due to racial talent, it was too rough to use it on the imprisonment of dead objects."

"Tian Tian Yezi was a famous formation master, and I also concurrently studied formations outside of the puppet way, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to control the Two Instruments Five Elements Sword Formation."

"Relying on the space-prohibition methods in the formation foundation, after many trials and research, we slowly discovered the flaws in it..."

"To tell the truth, the one who benefited in the end was you!"

How did Luo Chen benefit?

That was naturally his natal magic treasure, the Primordial Cauldron!

After Tian Tian Yezi and Han Zhan had achieved slight success in their research on space prohibition, in order to verify their ideas, they asked Qing Shuang to personally take action to perfect Luo Chen's natal magic treasure.

After the verification was completed, this magic treasure of Luo Chen's had the power to cross space and capture and suppress.

It even contained a mustard space inside, which could store living things, and was by no means inferior to those well-made spirit beast bags.

Regarding this, Han Zhan was also quite envious.

He stated bluntly that if Luo Chen cultivated and refined it with care, this Primordial Cauldron would sooner or later advance to the rank of a True Treasure.

Speaking of True Treasures, Luo Chen also asked a few more questions about the difference between such weapons and magic treasures.

Han Zhan's answer was that a True Treasure was the weapon of a True Person, which was one with the Nascent Soul cultivator's mind, and had a very strong amplification effect when the domain was unfolded.

The so-called Nascent Soul domain was to absorb and control the spiritual energy of a certain attribute corresponding to the cultivator between heaven and earth.

But the cultivator's strength was limited, and in fact, they couldn't control much, and with a True Treasure, this effect could be increased.

He, Han Zhan, had been a Nascent Soul for a hundred years and didn't have a True Treasure.

Luo Chen was very strange; weren't there rumors that several True Treasures came out of Bai Ye's cave dwelling on Mount Jilei Mountain back then?

"Those were all relics of the great experts of the Mingyuan Sect, which was not something we could covet. After the strong men of the Mingyuan Sect arrived, they took them all back. Otherwise, if I had a True Treasure, how could I have been so passive when fighting the Ao Xiao Wolf Emperor."

Through this matter, Luo Chen also learned a common sense.

That was, although it was difficult for the demon race to transform, once they transformed, it was very easy to use certain parts of their bodies or companion objects to refine natal True Treasures that belonged exclusively to them.

This was also why, at the same cultivation realm, low-tier demon beasts were completely no match for human immortal cultivators, but after a high cultivation realm, there was almost no difference between the two. Even, because of some special racial talents, high-tier demon beasts could suppress human immortal cultivators.

Just like Ao Xiao against Han Zhan, and just like Qing Shuang suppressing three late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators alone.

Days passed slowly in this water-like rhythm of life.

Luo Chen did not rush to ask for what he wanted from Han Zhan.

For one thing, his current focus was on refining True Flame Pills in large quantities.

For another, Han Zhan was also anxious to study the Soul-Refining Banner and his way of coexistence, wanting a safe place to stay.

However, Luo Chen did not take the initiative to ask, and Han Zhan, who was worldly-wise, naturally would not be stingy.

Once, when Luo Chen was swallowing blood food in large gulps, he took the initiative to give out the Black Emperor Paste prescription that Luo Chen had been thinking about for many years.

In his words, this was the first step of sincere cooperation between the two.

Luo Chen gave him the Soul-Refining Banner, and he returned the Black Emperor Paste prescription.

With a good start, they might be able to get along better for the next few hundred years.

On this day.

In the pill room.

Luo Chen stared intently at the gray cauldron, with cyan flames constantly roasting it.

Under his control, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron flowed constantly like magma.

This was already the fifth year since he arrived in the North Sea!

For this third-tier pill, the True Flame Pill, after several years of refining, his proficiency had become increasingly high, and it had long reached the master level.

Not only was the pill success rate controlled at over fifty percent, but long ago, it was no longer limited to one portion of raw materials per furnace.

Now, under normal circumstances, he could refine ten portions of raw materials in one furnace.

If he let go of his hands and feet, refining a hundred portions of raw materials in one furnace was not impossible!

It was just that for the latter, a more focused state and more time were needed, and it was difficult to get away when encountering things.

"These problems are actually not problems."

"As long as my True Flame Pill reaches Great Perfection, they will be solved."

"And the day of Great Perfection is today!"

Luo Chen's expression remained focused, but his technique of controlling the source true fire became a bit more delicate.

Speaking of which, the feat of refining a hundred portions of raw materials in one furnace was something Luo Chen had never thought of before.

Ordinary pill-refining utensils simply could not support this refining method.

Only the Primordial Cauldron could!

Through repeated exploration and probing, Luo Chen gradually touched the limit of this treasure.

Even in his view, this didn't seem to be the limit of the Primordial Cauldron yet.

In Han Zhan's words, "A pill-refining treasure like yours is enough to be placed in a top-tier major sect as a treasure of the sect."

What is a treasure of the sect for pill refining?

That is, once it is not moved, it is fine; once it is activated, it is the entire sect's power to refine pills!

Under the raging fire, countless exotic flowers and herbs, hundreds or thousands of medicinal herbs are thrown into it; only then can it be called a treasure of the sect for pill refining!

Luo Chen also had plans.

After he brushed his True Flame Pill proficiency to Great Perfection, he would do his best to perform a hundred-pill refining!

And just to see if he had the capacity of a pill-refining master!

Just as he was focused, he suddenly frowned.

Without stopping his hands, he turned his head slightly, and a sound transmission passed through the isolation formation of the pill room to a black-mist-shrouded side hall on Fairy Yaoyue Island.

"Senior Han, a guest has arrived; please entertain them for me."

In the side hall, the black mist shook.

Faintly, one could see hundreds of powerful ghost generals, and even a Ghost King, all kneeling and prostrating before a three-inch illusory little person.

Han Zhan quietly spread his spiritual sense and also discovered the visitor.

First, he praised Luo Chen's caution, then said: "This Soul-Refining Banner I can barely master, but the visitor is at the sixth layer of Golden Core, quite strong. Relying only on this third-tier Ghost King, I am afraid I cannot stop him."

In the distance, Luo Chen's voice came leisurely.

"No matter, block him for a while, and I will be there in a moment when I free my hands."

"Hmm, as long as you have a plan in mind."

Han Zhan smiled slightly and formed a spiritual seal with his hand.

Hundreds of second-tier ghost generals in the hall surged out together.

And he himself slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment!

The third-tier Ghost King prostrate on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, extremely agile.

It was clearly the puppet technique of the Luoyun Sect!

A slightly human-like expression appeared on the Ghost King's face.

"Let me see, what are the combat methods of the North Sea cultivators?"

With a murmur, under the sweep of the black mist, the third-tier Ghost King had disappeared from the side hall.

And in the vast archipelago of Flying Swallow, a great battle had already broken out without asking for the reason.

Time rewinds to a quarter of an hour ago.

On the ten-thousand-mile ocean.

A person stepped on the waves and came, stopping when passing by a small island.

"Come out, junior!"

As soon as the words fell, a panicked voice came from the small island.

"The Master has arrived; I have not welcomed you from afar, I truly deserve to die."

A sturdy, black-faced man flew out from the small island and landed on the sea surface, looking slightly nervous.

Wu Qi looked at the black-faced man and nodded slightly.

"Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment..."

His gaze also glanced at the reef on the small island.

"Third-tier early-stage Black-Scaled Jiao."

"You must be Kun Jiao, the leader of the Flying Swallow Jiao Dragon Gang!"

Kun Jiao felt a chill in his heart; his spirit beast hidden under the reef had actually been seen through at a glance.

He nodded repeatedly, "It is indeed me; the Master has good eyes."

Wu Qi shook his head and smiled lightly: "What good eyes to speak of; it was you who took the initiative to contact my Demon Luo Flow and lead me here. If I didn't know your background, wouldn't it show that my Demon Luo Flow's intelligence capability is not good."

Hearing the three words "Demon Luo Flow," a look of deep fear appeared on Kun Jiao's face.

This was one of the top major forces in the northern territory of the human race in the Demon Sea!

There were countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, numerous Golden Core Masters, and even several Nascent Soul True Persons who were rarely seen.

Not only that, under the trend of the Li Canghai Righteous Alliance sweeping the North Sea and becoming the new holy land major force, the Demon Luo Flow was also one of the few powerful forces that dared to contend with it.

He didn't know if it was right or wrong to lead such a powerful person here.

"That Yan Nantian of the Labor Swallow Island was able to run, actually running to this remote corner." Wu Qi looked at the distance, the archipelago that looked like a flying swallow. "Is he still hiding there?"

Kun Jiao said awkwardly: "Yan Nantian is dead."

"Hmm?"

Wu Qi frowned; he didn't expect this situation.

It was rare for him to take a Demon Luo Flow mission, and he didn't expect the mission target to be dead before he even took action.

This was truly somewhat unexpected.

He looked at Kun Jiao twice, and then looked at the trembling Black-Scaled Jiao under the reef next to him, revealing a look of disdain.

"With your strength and that third-tier Black-Scaled Jiao, I'm afraid you couldn't kill Yan Nantian. Tell me, how did the other party die."

Kun Jiao was energized and immediately recounted the battle between Yan Nantian and Luo Chen.

"Green Yang Demon Lord?"

Muttering to himself, a look of half-belief and half-doubt appeared on Wu Qi's face.

Before the destruction of the Yuanmo Sect, there were indeed some useless Foundation Establishment disciples who liked to artificially create Green Yang Demon Fire.

However, this kind of demon fire had huge flaws.

Few Yuanmo Sect disciples used it as their main means and cultivated it to the Golden Core stage.

Now, there was a Golden Core cultivator on the Flying Swallow Archipelago who was skilled in using Green Yang Demon Fire; if you said he was a strong man of the Yuanmo Sect, he really didn't quite believe it.

The high-tier cultivators of the Yuanmo Sect were not so short-sighted!

Could it be an impostor?

While he was suspicious, Kun Jiao stabilized his mind and added oil and vinegar to recount the things that had happened on the Flying Swallow Archipelago over the past few years.

"Occupying the third-tier spiritual vein on Fairy Yaoyue Island, this is not strange."

"Bringing out a mid-level Golden Core formation secret method... some foundation; even my Wu family only has a lower-level Golden Core formation secret method. This kind of generosity is indeed a bit of the style of a major sect."

"Ignoring everything, enslaving the major families to collect medicinal herbs for him, in just four or five years, he has tossed the Flying Swallow Archipelago into exhaustion. Hehe, this really has a bit of the style of a demon sect strong man."

"Wait, third-tier pill refiner?"

"Golden Core early-stage realm?"

Wu Qi pursed his lips, his eyes turning constantly, and a desire to try surged in his heart.

Kun Jiao confirmed these two pieces of news repeatedly.

"It is indeed Golden Core early-stage, and the pharmacists and pill refiners sent by the major families have also confirmed that the Green Yang Demon Lord can indeed refine third-tier pills. Moreover, some low-tier pills are also readily available, and the grade is extremely high!"

After speaking, he looked at Wu Qi nervously.

He really wanted the other party to take action and kill that Green Yang Demon Lord!

If he killed the other party, Wu Qi would definitely not look down on the small place of the Flying Swallow Archipelago.

In that way, he himself could return to Flying Swallow, and relying on the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and a third-tier early-stage Black-Scaled Jiao, occupy the Flying Swallow Archipelago and become the master of Flying Swallow!

As a gang leader, he had been fleeing in embarrassment for these years.

It was not easy to wait for Yan Nantian to die, and he had to fear the new Demon Lord.

He, Kun Jiao, was truly fed up!

Regarding his thoughts, Wu Qi of the Demon Luo Flow knew it well.

Being used by a low-realm cultivator, if it were normal times, he would definitely not be happy. He might even turn around and destroy the other party to warn others.

But a Golden Core early-stage pill refiner... no, the other party clearly could refine a variety of pills, and his attainments were extremely high; he could already be called a master-level existence.

Such an existence, if controlled in his hands.

Then his Wu family would inevitably rise.

And he, Wu Qi, could also occupy a place in the Demon Luo Flow and become the first-tier existence under the True Person!

This vote, done!

Glancing at Kun Jiao who was looking at him, Wu Qi said coldly: "Follow me over; when the time comes, I will take action to deal with the Green Yang Demon Lord, and you help me suppress the others, don't let those ants disturb me."

Kun Jiao was stunned; did he have to take action too?

But thinking that after the matter was done, he could exclusively occupy the Flying Swallow Archipelago, the slight hesitation was thrown behind his head.

"I will follow the Master's instructions!"

"Come!"

Wu Qi looked solemn, rolled his large sleeve, and a surging giant wave rose from the blue sea, carrying his body forward.

Wherever he passed, the waves surged, and water splashed.

Looking from afar, it was like a tsunami that could swallow everything, pressing down on the Flying Swallow Archipelago.
