Chapter 1134 Assisting in the Refining of a Ninth-Level Pill

1134  Assisting in the Refining of a Ninth-Level Pill

Under Jiang Chengxuan's watchful eyes, the elder walked over to a massive furnace in the center of the hall. His robe billowed, and he channeled the power of his Dao rules into the furnace.

With a loud "boom," the lid of the furnace flew open, and beams of golden light shot out, illuminating the entire hall. Under the elder's control, waves of intensely hot flames surged from the furnace, forming a sea of fire above it.

The heat distorted the surrounding space, and the flames, infused with the Dao rules of the Immortal Domain, seemed almost alive.

Even with Jiang Chengxuan's formidable cultivation, he could feel the scorching heat emanating from the flames.

However, in the hands of the elder, these flames were perfectly controlled. No matter how wildly they danced, they did not escape his grasp, causing no harm to the surroundings.

Inside the furnace, Jiang Chengxuan could faintly sense a pill gradually taking shape amidst the roaring flames.

Sure enough, after a short while, the elder waved his hands, and the red robe he wore billowed as he directed the flames back into the furnace.

A golden pill slowly rose from the furnace, exuding a rich and enticing fragrance. It formed a golden arc in the air before landing gently in the elder's hand.

This display of skill, the ease with which the elder handled the furnace, and the precision of his flame control left Jiang Chengxuan deeply impressed.

He could sense that the pill was of the eighth level, the highest level of pill he could currently refine, and yet the elder had done it with such effortless grace.

The elder's abilities were undeniable. His skill in refining eighth-level pills was exceptional, and Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but admire the elder's profound expertise.

"Very well! Now, please demonstrate your own skills," the elder said, his face showing satisfaction. "If you can refine an eighth-level pill, that will suffice."

"Of course," Jiang Chengxuan replied confidently.

He listed the ingredients he needed for the pill, and after a brief wait, a disciple in a black and gold robe brought him a storage ring containing the necessary materials.

Jiang Chengxuan checked the contents with his divine sense and, after confirming everything was in order, walked to the furnace.

"Then I shall begin," he announced.

He channeled his immortal power into the furnace, and a roaring fire burst forth, rising high into the air.

The intense heat made the disciples around him take a step back, their eyes widening in amazement.

But under Jiang Chengxuan's control, the fire quickly formed into a dragon and re-entered the furnace, leaving only a gentle warmth in the air.

This initial display of control earned nods of approval from the elder and the onlooking disciples.

Without further ado, Jiang Chengxuan began to place the various medicinal herbs into the furnace.

Each herb was enveloped in a bubble of his immortal power, floating at different heights inside the furnace.

As he controlled the flames, the herbs slowly released their medicinal properties, transforming into liquid form.

This simultaneous refinement of multiple ingredients was a technique that stunned the onlookers. Even the elder couldn't help but be impressed.

Under Jiang Chengxuan's meticulous control, the different medicinal liquids began to merge, their properties perfectly balanced.

His control over the fire and his understanding of the herbs' properties allowed him to create a harmonious blend without any mishaps.

With a final burst of power, Jiang Chengxuan brought the process to its climax. The furnace glowed with a radiant light, and a rich fragrance filled the hall.

As the fire subsided, a perfectly formed eighth-level pill floated out of the furnace and into Jiang Chengxuan's hand.

"Excellent!" the elder exclaimed, clearly impressed. "Your skill in pill refinement is extraordinary, even among eighth-level alchemists."

The disciples around them nodded in agreement, their previous doubts replaced with admiration.

"Thank you," Jiang Chengxuan replied, smiling. "I trust this demonstration meets your expectations?"

"Indeed it does," the elder said with a smile. "You have proven your abilities beyond any doubt."

"Then when shall we begin the task?" Jiang Chengxuan asked, eager to start.

"Follow me," the elder said, leading Jiang Chengxuan deeper into the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild's headquarters.

As they walked, the opulence of the outer halls gave way to a more austere and functional design. The walls were lined with golden and red patterns that seemed to pulse with a calming energy.

"This is my personal alchemy room," the elder explained as they entered a spacious chamber. "I have been working towards becoming a ninth-level alchemist, which requires extensive refinement. That's why I posted the task for assistance."

"I understand. I will do my utmost to assist you," Jiang Chengxuan said earnestly.

The elder nodded. "Good. The process of refining a ninth-level pill is much more demanding. The medicinal properties and Dao rules within each ingredient must be carefully preserved during the refinement process.

Your task will be to assist in controlling the flames and partially refining some of the ingredients before handing them over to me."

"I understand," Jiang Chengxuan said, focusing his mind on the task ahead.

With that, the elder produced three small furnaces, which expanded to full size in the air. The powerful aura they emitted revealed them to be near-immortal-grade artifacts.

Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but marvel at the resources the elder had at his disposal. These furnaces alone demonstrated the immense power and wealth of the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild.

Taking his place by one of the furnaces, Jiang Chengxuan prepared to begin his work. The elder nodded approvingly, and the two began the intricate process of refining a ninth-level pill.
