Chapter 535: Nine-Zhang Giant Cauldron, Hundred-Pill Refining

Random Recommendation:

In the quiet cultivation room.

Only the long breathing sound with long intervals proved that there was someone inside.

After another wisp of medicinal evil spirit was thoroughly spat out, the flush on Luo Chen's face slowly dissipated.

Although the flush had dissipated a lot, because he took True Flame Pills all year round and swallowed and spat out medicinal evil spirits, his face still looked red.

If his figure were more sturdy, if he went outside, he would probably get the abbreviation of "Red-Faced Big Man."

This was not important.

In cultivation, there are thousands of paths, each relying on their own means to walk toward the final path of longevity.

It was precisely because of this that because the strange techniques cultivated by immortal cultivators were different, there would often be strange phenomena manifested.

Such as red faces, purple faces, or sickly sallow skin, etc.

There were even those who had deviations in their cultivation, white hair overnight, or dry hair, which were not uncommon.

Luo Chen didn't care much about his facial skin color, but he could also use the changes in his facial skin color to reflect the overbearing nature of the top-grade True Flame Pill!

"One pill is enough to be worth ten lower-grade ones!"

Luo Chen muttered to himself, his eyes full of surprise.

Ordinary pills, according to their respective grades, medicinal power often showed a trend of doubling.

One, two, four, eight, corresponding to the four levels of lower-grade, mid-grade, top-grade, and top-tier.

This was a rule Luo Chen had explored himself.

Other pill refiners?

Sorry, among ten thousand pill refiners, one might not be able to refine top-tier pills, so there was no way to explore this rule.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Chen was so surprised.

Because the medicinal power of the True Flame Pill was special, it slightly broke this rule.

Its medicinal power growth range was at the level of one, two, five, ten.

That is to say, after the grade of the True Flame Pill reached top-grade, a qualitative change occurred, reaching the maximum at the top-tier level!

This kind of change was far greater than the Starry Pills he had taken all year round.

This was just the difference in change; if comparing the real medicinal power, one lower-grade True Flame Pill had fifty percent more medicinal power than a Starry Pill.

The detailed data was quite complicated, and only Luo Chen, the taker, could keep track of it.

After some calculation, his surprise gradually faded, leaving only a trace of regret.

"The cost-performance ratio is actually quite high, but unless I suck the Flying Swallow Archipelago dry, they can't support my cultivation."

If it were the most perfect way, it would naturally be to take top-tier True Flame Pills every day for cultivation, so that the cultivation speed could reach the maximum.

One top-tier pill is worth ten lower-grade True Flame Pills, equivalent to fifteen lower-grade Starry Pills.

As long as the financial resources can support it, and there is no drug resistance, the time Luo Chen needs to cultivate to the Golden Core Great Perfection can be controlled within two hundred years, or even just over a hundred years, even if it is only a third-tier lower-grade spiritual vein.

The problem lies in this "financial resource."

Clearly, the Flying Swallow Archipelago cannot support his daily consumption.

Just the previous situation alone made the major families sigh and complain.

If he took top-tier True Flame Pills for cultivation every day, the entire Flying Swallow Thirty-Six Islands would have to be sucked dry by him.

Sooner or later, a rebellion would occur!

Therefore, after some evaluation, Luo Chen could only control the grade of pills he took daily to the top-grade level.

In this way, ten portions of raw materials, according to a fifty percent success rate, could produce five portions of True Flame Pills, which was fifty top-grade ones, enough for him to use for nearly two months.

This was relatively cheaper than ten portions producing only one top-tier True Flame Pill, which was ten pills.

The medicinal power that could be absorbed, without considering time, would also be more.

Both were cost-performance ratios, one aimed at cultivation speed, one aimed at financial resources.

After comprehensive consideration, Luo Chen chose the plan that best fit the current situation.

Feeling the medicinal power of the pill still being slowly absorbed by the Golden Core in his body, Luo Chen thought of the conversation with Wu Qi yesterday.

Demon Luo Flow.

Blood Nightmare Demon Luo.

Twelve Flow Masters.

Li Canghai Righteous Alliance.

Finally, his thoughts stayed on the "ten years" node mentioned by the other party.

According to the current situation, in ten years, he should be able to steadily step into the fourth layer of Golden Core, which was the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

By then, his strength would also undergo a qualitative change.

At that time, facing Wu Qi again, his winning percentage would also occupy seventy or eighty percent.

But, that was just Wu Qi!

And a Wu Qi whose methods had not been fully exhausted.

"In the North Sea immortal cultivation world, demons and monsters are rampant; the combat ability of cultivators here is even stronger than in the Eastern Wasteland. Perhaps only those new-domain cultivators close to the Million Savage Mountains are not weaker than those of the same realm."

Having fought with local cultivators of the same realm twice, Luo Chen had already slightly felt the strength of the "Demon Sea" cultivators.

He also modified his estimation of his own strength.

At the early stage of Golden Core, he could fight the mid-stage of Golden Core, but he definitely couldn't beat a late-stage Golden Core Great Cultivator, but he could run.

This also barely met the previous "sufficient to protect himself."

And it was only barely, he had to run.

If he wanted to resist, he had to wait until after the mid-stage of Golden Core.

This made Luo Chen somewhat dissatisfied.

He had cultivated many spells, refined his magic treasures day and night, and cultivated a cultivation method known as the ancestor of fire methods, but in the end, he could only achieve this level.

It was truly a bit of a blow to his confidence.

If this thought of his were known to outsiders, they would probably scold him angrily.

At the early and mid-stage of Golden Core, you want to fight a late-stage Great Cultivator; what do you take other people's hundreds of years of hard cultivation for?

"Not enough!"

"Far from enough!"

"With the current guarantee of cultivation speed, I must further enhance my combat ability."

"Longevity is not enough to be happy; fighting a hundred battles without dying is the truth."

After many years of cultivation life, Luo Chen's goal was no longer just longevity.

The so-called longevity was just a change in lifespan.

Once the cultivation realm goes up, one will naturally add endless lifespan.

But such cultivators would also have the risk of falling. 【535-

Therefore, possessing endless combat power within an endless lifespan—this is what "true longevity" is!

In particular, Luo Chen has assessed several times that he is very likely to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage within two hundred years.

In this way, the resources related to Nascent Soul formation must be planned for as early as possible, so as to avoid being flustered and running around in all directions when the time comes.

He certainly does not want to be like Fu Fu Jiusheng, who only went out to search for Core Formation resources after reaching the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore!

Ten years from now, regardless of whether he joins the Mo Luo Flow or not, he must make a trip out of the Flying Swallow Archipelago to befriend more Core Formation cultivators in the North Sea cultivation world.

From their hands, he will trade for more resources related to Nascent Soul formation.

Especially the three main materials for the Nascent Soul Elixir: Divine Iris, Purple Monkey Flower, and Five-Element Lotus Platform.

Perhaps expanding his network will have risks, but just as Han Zhan said, how could the path of cultivation ever be smooth sailing? Risks are inevitable!

"My current means, apart from refining my natal magic treasure, have basically reached a point where there is no further progress."

"If I want to increase my combat power again, I can only focus on other aspects."

Luo Chen assessed his current state.

Finally, he set his mind on body refining.

With the supplementation of a large amount of high-quality blood food, his physique has already reached 40/100 of the third-tier Ancient Desolate level, firmly at the mid-third-tier level.

In five years of time, he has improved by ten units of progress, even more than in the Jade Cauldron Domain over several decades.

Yet even so, Luo Chen still felt it was slow.

After all, his body refining realm had been ahead of his Qi Refining realm from the beginning, and now it is about to be caught up by his Qi Refining realm.

Especially since the further one goes in body refining, the more difficult the transformation of the physique becomes; perhaps the speed will even drop.

Therefore, Luo Chen had been looking for better external auxiliary resources than blood food and spirit meals long ago.

With Han Zhan's awakening, this problem was solved.

Black Emperor Paste!

Luo Chen already had a preliminary plan for how to refine Black Emperor Paste over these years.

The Flying Swallow Archipelago won't do; the conditions are insufficient. He must go out, to another place.

"However, before setting out, some things must be prepared in advance."

"If nothing else, the True Flame Elixir must be prepared in sufficient quantity for my use in advance."

At the thought of refining True Flame Elixir, a faint smile appeared on Luo Chen's face.

Nowadays, his proficiency in True Flame Elixir has been brushed to Great Perfection; it is just the right time to try that so-called "Hundred Elixirs Refined Together"!

After the battle between the Wu family ancestor and the Green Sun Demon Lord, the Flying Swallow Archipelago fell into an eerie silence.

The previous complaints and grievances were nowhere to be seen!

If the Green Sun Demon Lord killing Yan Nantian highlighted his ability, which was even greater than that of the previous Flying Swallow master, this was still within the calculations of Cheng Dou and the others.

After all, without the diamond drill, how would one dare to take on the porcelain work?

The strength Luo Chen displayed at that time was only at the level of a normal Core Formation cultivator.

But after Luo Chen took action and repelled the famous Wu family ancestor Wu Qi, everything changed.

That was a big shot at the sixth level of Core Formation!

Unless a late-stage cultivator appears, they are an existence that can walk sideways in the North Sea cultivation world.

Such an existence had to "speak nicely" to the Green Sun Demon Lord.

This batch of Foundation Establishment cultivators usually just offered some medicinal herbs; what right did they have to have so many complaints?

Under this "silent atmosphere," all the major families tacitly increased their tributes to Luo Chen.

Various materials for True Flame Elixir were collected as much as possible and handed over to Fairy Fairy Yaoyue, Cheng Cheng Haixin.

Regarding this, Luo Chen was extremely satisfied!

Isn't this just meeting a pillow when one is sleepy?

He happened to be preparing for several large-scale elixir refinements, and the medicinal herbs he had stored previously could only support three times.

His own plan was for at least five times, preferably seven or eight.

Only then could he gather the quantity of True Flame Elixir needed for ten years.

Now that the people below were so dedicated, it just happened to complete his plan, and it also saved him from wasting his breath.

Time flowed away bit by bit.

Three months had passed since that great battle.

During these three months, each family took action to repair the losses brought about by that battle as much as possible.

But even so, there were still four islands that had permanently sunk into the seabed.

On those four islands, there were no high-grade spirit veins, only first-tier low-grade levels, and they were mostly inhabited by mortals, which is why the major families did not want to spend the effort to dig them out after the war.

In this way, the Thirty-Six Flying Swallow Islands became the Thirty-Two Islands.

The missing four islands were exactly on the flanks of the "Flying Swallow" on the map.

If viewed from high above, the two wings of the flying swallow became asymmetrical.

At present, no one cared about this.

All anyone cared about was one thing.

That was "Demon Lord Refines Elixirs"!

On this day, on the ten-mile flat lake, the white mist completely dispersed.

The scorching sun hanging high in the nine heavens emitted endless golden light, sprinkling it on the lake surface, reflecting it as if golden waves were rippling.

On the shore surrounding the lake, no one knew when, but thousands of people had gathered one after another.

Mostly Qi Refining cultivators.

They gathered in front of various Foundation Establishment cultivators, looking at the small island in the center of the lake, whispering to each other.

"Is the Demon Lord really going to refine elixirs publicly?"

"Yes, I heard the formation might be very large!"

"Tsk tsk, how large can it be? Could it be larger than the elixir refining assemblies held by those great elixir-refining sects in the rumors?"

"Hard to say. Anyway, I know that for these past few months, the Green Sun Demon Lord hasn't refined any elixirs; he has been recuperating and waiting for the people below to prepare various raw materials for him in advance."

"What are you whispering about? Being able to watch a third-tier elixir refiner refine elixirs in person might be the only talking point you have in your entire life. Why don't you watch carefully?"

"The senior is right to teach us! We were reckless."

"That's right, if one could luckily learn a trick or two and pass it on to descendants, it would count as a family skill."

Amidst this wave-like discussion.

On that quietly standing small island, figures walked out one after another like flowing water under the orderly command of a tall female cultivator.

Each stood in a position, and then took out various medicinal herbs from their storage bags.

If one observed carefully, the medicinal herbs taken out by each person were of the same type, without any deviation.

A total of eighteen people, separated by a great distance, but looking closely, it was very obvious they were surrounding a large circle.

In the middle, an open space was left.

Everyone looked at each other; could that open space in the middle be the place for elixir refining?

But they didn't see any special treatment!

There were no fire-avoidance bricks of ordinary elixir rooms, no fire-increasing formations, or other auxiliary tools.

How is the Green Sun Demon Lord going to refine elixirs?

Just when everyone was surprised, a commotion broke out.

No one knew when, but in the center of that circular plaza, a man wearing a wide white Daoist robe was already standing there.

He just stood there quietly, his tall back like a high mountain, making people hold their breath and look up.

It was the Green Sun Demon Lord!

Suddenly.

The Demon Lord waved his large sleeve, and a small cauldron flew out, spinning.

The small cauldron was light gray in color, as if it were not within the five elements, yet it seemed to contain all things in heaven and earth, with yin, yang, and the five elements all included within it.

Once it flew out, it grew with the wind.

Three inches, seven inches, one foot, one zhang, three zhang...

By the lake, some low-tier cultivators couldn't help but speak out.

"Is this damn thing an elixir cauldron?"

In the end, under the stunned gaze of everyone, it actually turned into a giant cauldron nine zhang high, like a tall building, crashing down and standing on Fairy Yaoyue Island.

Three legs and two ears, round in shape, with a rich elixir fragrance lingering on it; it was indeed an elixir cauldron, just that the size was indeed much larger.

Luo Chen looked at this scene with satisfaction, then opened his mouth and spat.

A wisp of green flame was spat out leisurely.

Under the infusion of magic power, it also grew with the wind, turning into a raging fire, completely wrapping the Hunyuan Cauldron within it.

Not only that, he leaped up and flew into the high sky, looking down.

His large sleeves beckoned, and the medicinal herbs prepared nearby fell into the Hunyuan Cauldron like flowing light.

One portion, two portions... until a hundred portions of raw materials were all gathered within one cauldron, and only then did Luo Chen stop his movements.

At this moment, his expression became a bit more solemn.

The test had come!

If refining a hundred elixirs at once could succeed, then on his future path of cultivation, he could save a lot of time wasted on elixir refining.

He could refine many elixirs at once and use the saved time on other places.

In the Green Sun Hall on Fairy Yaoyue Island, a black banner leaned against the door.

On the black banner, a pair of eyeballs condensed from ghost energy stared intently at the figure above the giant cauldron.

"Such a magnificent sight, in the past, the Medicine King Sect would only have one every ten years."

"Even the great elixir-refining sect, the Green Elixir Valley, would find it hard to see."

"Such a formation, such demeanor, such style, not at all inferior to those fourth-tier elixir refiners of the Nascent Soul sects!"

"Luo Chen, haha... the cultivators here only know your name, Green Sun Demon Lord, but don't know the Daoist name Dan Dan Chenzi; it is truly a pity."
