Chapter 201: Divine Spirit Technique! Is it Ji Bai?

~7 min read 1,382 words

Shen Ting, shaking!

Even the Queen Mother of the West stood up!

Even though separated by the hall's roof, she could still see it clearly!

The Seven Major Stellar Lodges have come in person! Not mere illusions.

The Grand Supreme Elder trembled, "This, this is to lead the stellar fire to refine the divine medicine?"

"Unheard of!" an alchemist had already exclaimed in shock, "Stellar fire, stellar fire—how can it be used to refine medicine?"

"Why not! Isn't it all fire?" a layperson objected, in their view, since they're all fire, earth fire, heavenly fire, divine fire can all be used to refine medicine, so why can't stellar fire?

"Impossible! Impossible!" Lou Guanxue, still shaken by the disturbance, broke down; she had originally also firmly believed, like the Grand Supreme Elder, that with Shen Qingli's cultivation level, it was impossible to extract the divine medicine's potency.

So as long as she steadies herself, she definitely won't lose! If something changes and she truly loses, it definitely won't be too embarrassing; at least her status won't drop much.

But now…

She was no longer certain.

This uncertainty directly caused her to blow up the cauldron!

"Bang!"

In the instant the immortal medicine's power exploded, the dazed she didn't have time to dodge, and was directly blown until her face was completely blackened.

This disturbance actually diverted a bit of everyone's attention to her, but Lou Guanxue would rather not have this attention.

"She's probably just trying to attract attention." A God King, however, felt this maneuver was more for show than practical use, and said to Lou Guanxue, "Lou Immortal, just stay steady; stellar fire has always been unstable—what does it matter even if you summon it?"

Lou Guanxue's mind instantly steadied!

Yes!

That's absolutely right!

She couldn't, just because she knew that dead girl's identity, lose heart psychologically.

Even if she's the divine monarch's daughter, so what? The divine monarch hasn't even taken his place—could she still lose?

In a moment, Lou Guanxue immediately cleaned herself up and steadied her mind once again.

And the God King who spoke for her was actually sitting at the table next to Bai Chong Luan's.

It's just that the tables at the Daoist canon banquet are fairly spacious; Shen Qingli hadn't noticed earlier, otherwise she would have realized this person looks a lot like Ji Bai!

And his words also calmed most of the immortals somewhat.

Yes!

Stellar fire is indeed unstable.

Furthermore—

"If this fire comes down, won't it burn the great hall?"

Someone raised a doubt: with so many immortals gathered here for the banquet, what if we accidentally injure someone?

"Should we avoid it a bit? This, it won't burn us, will it…"

"With the Queen Mother of the West present! No need to be nervous."

Most immortals were still watching the Queen Mother of the West's reaction.

But the Queen Mother of the West didn't move, because she could clearly sense that these stars, which usually appear unintelligent and eternally hung in the universe, were clearly resonating in sync with Shen Qingli!

Because they touch the power of the primordial rules, not all immortals can sense the resonance between Shen Qingli and them.

Those who can sense it all understand! They are highly controllable, nothing to worry about.

Therefore, the immortals who could ask such questions simply lack sufficient understanding.

For example, Meng Zhang, Jian Wuji, and Shao Guanwu actually can sense it too!

Especially Meng Zhang and Jian Wuji—they even feel that the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and White Tiger Seven Mansions under their control are faintly resonating!

This is not an illusion, because——

"Whoosh~"

When the clear, water-like sound rang out.

The myriad stars fell like a galactic waterfall into the thick earth cauldron.

Without separating the cauldron, they all entered the medicine cauldron.

The Grand Supreme Elder's eyelid twitched! He just felt disaster was imminent.

Then, his intuition was correct.

"Crack."

The thick earth cauldron emitted a cracking sound.

The Grand Supreme Elder's heart also cracked along with it!

"The cauldron is going to explode!"

Someone cried out in alarm!

"If the medicine cauldron explodes, can the medicine still be refined?"

Someone was pessimistic, and this seems to indeed be the case.

The Grand Supreme Elder's heart clenched repeatedly, feeling pain for the cauldron, as well as for the divine medicine and divine fish, and of course also for Shen Qingli.

As for Shen Qingli, she also realized this problem; she could actually control the stellar fire so it wouldn't be too "explosive," at least "cooling" it down to a range the thick earth cauldron could withstand.

But her innate intuition, if she didn't do so, would affect the hue of the formed elixir.

She chose to strike open the thick earth cauldron with one palm and return it to the Grand Supreme Elder.

"Ah this!" The hot cauldron in hand scorched the Grand Supreme Elder a bit, "... Actually, it's fine even if it's broken."

After all, the young lady's thick earth cauldron was broken to save someone else's Thick Earth Lady, and she had also given too much for Shen Ting.

"Really?" Tai Jin Emperor asked in passing.

The Grand Elder silently put the cauldron away.

At the same time——

Without the concealment of the Thick Earth Cauldron, everyone could clearly see!

The Nine-Revolution Divine Herb and the Yin-Yang Twin Fish were both wrapped in the blazing stellar fire of the Vermilion Bird's Seven Mansions.

Moreover, a hazy nebula enveloped them on the outermost layer—it looked like the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions, the White Tiger's Seven Mansions, and the Black Tortoise's Seven Mansions!

The Twenty-One Mansions, like guardian deities, formed a natural stellar cauldron, bearing the inner Vermilion Bird's Seven Mansions and the two great divine medicines refined from them, including the divine medicine essence currently being gradually tempered.

Amazing!

The Grand Elder slammed the table and shouted, "Amazing!"

At this moment, he truly felt his Thick Earth Cauldron was nothing but redundant.

No wonder they don't want it!

It's simply not needed!

But the problem for many people is——

"How can she still summon the stellar power of the other Twenty-One Mansions?"

"Exactly! As the daughter of Empress Zhong, awakening the Vermilion Bird's divine power and summoning the Vermilion Bird's Seven Mansions is fine, but what about the other Twenty-One Mansions?"

"Could it be...?" someone was already about to sling mud at Zhong Minglan!

However, Nine Li had already struck first, saying, "A bunch of filthy things, still claiming to be immortals! Look at the Queen Mother of the West—what did she say? Our A Li is the master of the Little Star; she can summon any stellar power! You're ignorant."

"You," an immortal had their defenses broken!

But also a primordial god spoke, "Her inheritance is not just that of the Vermilion Bird Empress; don't be surprised by what you rarely see."

The one who said this was the primordial god who had also helped Shen Qingli a bit before; Jin Wu knows him, but he recalls that His Majesty and this god have no acquaintance—this deity is quite solitary.

Could it be that His Majesty had befriended him without his knowing?

Jin Wu was puzzled……

The remaining ancient primordial gods all spoke up.

"Don't be surprised by what you rarely see."

"If you're ignorant, keep quiet."

This child has indeed received the sovereign's inheritance!

It's not excessive for her to summon the heavenly stars; now it's merely the Four Spirits' Mansions—what's that?

Those who spoke were all big shots; the Xi Xi chattering little immortals immediately fell silent, watching Shen Qingli's "performance" as quiet as chickens.

"What a genius!" the Grand Elder couldn't help but exclaim, "Before, there weren't no immortals who could mobilize stellar power, but who would have thought one could refine medicine like this?"

None.

Really none!

All the alchemists present fell silent.

In their view, the stellar fire was too uncontrollable.

Now it seems they are not worthy to command the stellar fire.

Comparing people to people, it's infuriating……

But it's alright; looking at it this way, it's not that they're lacking brains—it's actually that the stellar fire is uncooperative.

Thinking this way, everyone feels a bit better—however——

Shen Qingli closed her eyes! The true alchemical technique was now performed.
