"Long Chen, you... Are you okay? Seeing
Long Chen suddenly hug her and shout, his eyes began to redden, startling Ye Zhiqiu.
Long Chen hurriedly looked around, hesitated for a moment, and finally grabbed Ye Zhiqiu and quickly left, heading straight for the original auction hall.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Long Chen with a strange expression, not knowing what was wrong with him. When they arrived at the hall, the middle-aged man had already been waiting for him.
"This is your Nether Spirit Pearl... "
Can you help me buy all these Nether Spirit Pearls for the Extreme Dao Transforming Dragon Saliva?" Long Chen didn't go to pick up the Nether Spirit Pearl, but asked directly.
"Yes, you can, but exchanging so much Extreme Dao Dragon Saliva at once—I can't make the decision on that. I have to consult the higher-ups first." The middle-aged man said hesitantly.
Long Chen nodded and said, "It's fine. Go ask for instructions. I'll put the Extreme Dao Transforming Dragon Saliva with you first, and while you're at it, help me arrange a secret room." Watching
Long Chen hurry away with Ye Zhiqiu, his impatient demeanor made the middle-aged man and the group of powerful figures from the Eastern families look at each other with strange expressions.
"Sigh, young people really have a lot of energy."
The middle-aged man let out a sigh, then suddenly turned to look at the disciples, his expression serious: "
What are you looking at? Just by looking at others, can you truly achieve the path of a strong warrior?" Envy won't help, just get to work! After
scolding the disciples, the middle-aged man left directly, intending to exchange for the ultimate Dao transformation dragon saliva for Long Chen.
...
"Long Chen, why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Zhiqiu was hurriedly pulled closer to the alchemy room by Long Chen. Seeing Long Chen's excited expression, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel a bit lost.
"Look,"
Long Chen said, and a small object like a yam appeared in his hand, only about the thickness of a thumb and over three inches long. Long Chen's face was almost bursting into laughter.
"This is ..."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the object still stained with dirt, vaguely feeling it looked familiar, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recognize it.
"These are the Eight Roots of Infinite Suffering!" Long Chen chuckled.
"You can actually cultivate it yourself?" Ye Zhiqiu was startled. Although she didn't know the Chaos Pearl, she knew Long Chen had the ability to cultivate rare medicines.
"Hehe, it actually worked." Long Chen clenched his fists excitedly and said.
Long Chen originally thought that the Infinite Eight Bitter Roots were completely dead, because buried in the soil had not yet sprouted any branches.
But unexpectedly, it unexpectedly split underground without anyone noticing, forming one tiny Infinite Eight Bitter Roots after another.
Long Chen looked and saw that the old Endless Eight Bitter Roots had already decayed, but within their decaying bodies, sesame-sized roots had nurtured one after another, like seed after seed. The decay of the mother's body had become their nutrients, rapidly growing.
The reason Long Chen shouted just now was because he happened to glance at the Chaos Pearl and noticed this phenomenon.
The Infinite Eight Bitter Root in Long Chen's hand hadn't fully matured yet. When it did, it would be as thick as a baby's arm, over a foot long, and only an adult would have enough medicinal effects.
But in the chaotic space, none of this was a problem. Long Chen directly used his soul power to spawn these Eight Roots of Endless Suffering. The roots grew rapidly, and soon a batch of them would mature.
The Infinite Eight Bitter Roots are very interesting. They are divided into male and female. The male grows fastest and doesn't produce leaves—it's just a solitary one.
The mother's Infinite Eight Bitter Root, when it grows large enough, will produce a straight stem without leaves, but it will bloom. Each flower has eight flowers, each with a different pattern, yet it blooms but does not bear fruit, which is extremely strange.
After the mother body matures, the roots rot, and after rotting, the mother body will nurture dozens to hundreds of tiny seeds of the Infinite Eight Bitter Roots, which will continue to continue.
However, the Roots of Infinite Suffering are extremely demanding about their environment. Since he was in ancient times, even the roots couldn't sow seeds on a large scale—a slight misstep would cause them to die.
"Zhiqiu, I need to practice pills. Help me protect the Dharma. When my soul power is insufficient, lend me a hand." Long Chen said.
"Alright,"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. Her spiritual energy was infused with the power of ice, which couldn't be lent to others, but soul power, as long as she didn't use the technique, was no different from ordinary soul power and could assist Long Chen.
"Whew"
Long Chen took out the Rongyue Star Refining Furnace and immediately lit a fire to begin refining pills. This time, he infused a trace of the Infinite Eight Bitter Root powder.
The powders of the Eight Roots of Infinite Suffering represent eight kinds of bitterness and eight kinds of artistic conception, making them extremely mysterious.
Long Chen has merged with the bitterness of life. When this bitterness is infused into the powder, it creates a unique cohesion, making it easier for the many powders to merge into one.
Life itself is a form of nurturing, aligned with the way of alchemy: a baby is born, the father's essence and mother's blood, ten months of pregnancy, and birth in a single day.
The way of alchemy is the same: a hundred medicines and a thousand prescriptions in one furnace, alchemical fire refines essence, the moment a pill is formed, life is granted, and the baptism of alchemical thunder grants intellect. The two share many commonalities.
The Infinite Eight Bitter Roots have always been treasures coveted by alchemists. Especially the Bitterness of Life extracted from it can increase a pill refiner's pill success rate by more than thirty percent—an almost miraculous effect.
"Buzz!"
In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the fusion was complete. The Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace closed, and Long Chen's flame power began to gradually increase.
"Previously, fusion took an hour; now it only takes the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Moreover, the place where walking on thin ice was once so easy has become much easier. This Infinite Eight Bitter Roots is truly a treasure—this time we've made a huge profit." Long Chen couldn't help but feel secretly pleased; this time, the Heroes of All Ages Gathering was finally here.
"Huff huff...
The power of the flames surged, and star runes flickered on the Moon Furnace. Nourished by Tianyi's spiritual water, the furnace instinctively began to provide some support, saving Long Chen a lot of soul power.
"Rumble rumble..."
As the flames continued to intensify, the Moon Refining Star Furnace began to vibrate, emitting a booming explosion. Long Chen's flame power did not diminish despite the commotion inside the furnace; instead, its firepower grew stronger.
"Buzz"—
On the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace, patterns appeared, each resembling petals. At the same time, a rumbling sound echoed from inside the furnace, making the entire pill refining room tremble.
"Zhiqiu, lend me a hand."
Long Chen called out. Ye Zhiqiu, well prepared, formed hand seals with her jade hand, and streams of soul power surged from her brow, transforming into chains of souls that surged toward Long Chen.
With Ye Zhiqiu's soul power assisting him, Long Chen's spirits instantly lifted, and the power of the flames kept increasing.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, with a loud crash, the entire Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace trembled violently, then fell silent. Long Chen slowly lifted the airOpen the lid of the Moon Refining Star Furnace.
Inside the Moon Refining Star Furnace, a round pill lay quietly. Countless patterns flowed across the pill, its colors constantly shifting, dazzling and beautiful.
"So beautiful." Ye Zhiqiu looked at the pill and couldn't help but praise. The patterns on it seemed to have a rhythmic life force—beautiful and pure, making it hard to put down.
"She'll be even more beautiful in a while." Long Chen said with a smile.
As they spoke, nine young thunder dragons roared out, attaching themselves to the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace. The power of thunder slowly poured into the furnace.
As the thunderous power surged into the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace, the Hundred Flowers Ming Dao Pill inside trembled slightly, radiance slowly blooming around its body, as if a sleeping being was awakened by the thunder force and began to resist the thunder dragon's force.
Danrei's unique ability can trigger a sense of crisis in the pills. To survive, they instinctively tap into all their potential—this is a forced awakening.
Unlike the long-term and gentle way of awakening the spirit of formations, although the formation can activate the intelligence of pills, it no longer carries the sense of danger facing death, so the potential to be tapped is greatly reduced.
Being tapped into by formations is passive, but being wrapped in pill lightning, in order to survive, the pills desperately tap into their potential. Therefore, the efficacy difference between tribulation pills and ordinary top-grade pills is huge.
As the Thunder Dragon's power grew stronger step by step, the resistance of the Hundred Flowers Ming Dao Pill grew ever stronger. Petals appeared, forming the Hundred Flowers Diagram, contending with the Thunder Dragon's power.
As time passed, the Hundred Flowers Ming Dao Pill burst out of the furnace, wrapped in the thunder dragon. The Hundred Flowers Ming Dao roared continuously, and the scene stunned Ye Zhiqiu. She had witnessed with her own eyes a pile of medicinal powder transformed into such a terrifying elixir—the shock was beyond description.
"Whoosh"
The thunderlight withdrew, and Long Chen found a dazzling, colorful elixir in his hand. Within a radius of about a foot, hundreds of different petals swirled around the pill, the flowers swirling, the heavenly Dao harmonizing, and a mysterious Dao rhythm filled the entire pill chamber.
"Let's see how it works." Long Chen glanced at the Hundred Flowers Ming Dao Pill in his hand and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu.
"Me?" Wouldn't this be a waste of a valuable asset? Ye Zhiqiu widened her eyes, not daring to take the Hundred Flowers Ming Dao Pill.
You have to know, at the auction, Long Chen had auctioned off the Thousand-Hand Soul-Confining Pill, which sold for a sky-high price. How could she possibly bring herself to drink it?
"Come on, an eleventh-grade supreme tribulation pill is a supreme treasure to others, but to me, Long Chen, it's just a big cabbage. From now on, if you want to eat it, make sure to fill your stomach!"
Long Chen smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat. Since I can't sense the Heavenly Dao, I want to know whether this pill will work on our brothers, and if it can help them awaken their phenomena and become true Yantian practitioners." "
This was Long Chen's ultimate goal in refining the Hundred Flowers Ming Dao Pill. If successful, as long as Long Chen was given enough time, he would fear no force or any strong opponent.
"Buzz"
Ye Zhiqiu swallowed the pill, and suddenly his whole body was enveloped in flowers. Each flower was adorned with endless black strands, and on those strands, endless power of the Great Dao poured into Ye Zhiqiu's body.
"Such powerful Dao power, such clear Dao intent—the Heavenly Dao surges forth, like a sudden enlightenment. Even the spiritual realm keeps rising. Long Chen, this is absolutely effective. As long as there are enough Hundred Flowers Ming Dao Pills, every Dragon Blood Warrior can awaken a vision." Ye Zhiqiu was no longer calm; her pretty face was full of surprise.
"Haha, that's good. So what if the monster revives? When our Dragonblood Legion rises, whoever shows off will be slapped to death. Long
Chen laughed heartily, his heart full of pride. Finally, he felt confident. Damn, come on, who's afraid of whom?
