_1 109: Chapter 108: Alchemy Again!
_1 Among the Great Wasteland, conflicts among tribes frequently occurred – to vie for resources, to plunder population, for the sake of survival and reproduction.
Fortunately, every tribe had certain restraints.
Unless a deep hatred had been ford, occurrences of taking lives were rare.
Otherwise, who would be there to resist foreign tribes and safeguard the vast territories of the Great Wasteland?
As for the feud between the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Xuan She Kui Shui two departnt, it could be said to have a long history.
This ti, Xiao Chen’s teoric rise, coupled with the sudden ergence of a dium quality Elental Stone vein within the Gu Yuan Clan territory, these two events finally beca the fuse between these two tribes and Gu Yuan.
After all, ever since the establishnt of the Gu Yuan Tribe hundreds of years ago, they had not been spared from the bullying of these two tribes.
Now, with Xiao Chen teorically rising and the tribe’s territory expanding by two thousand miles, covering three thousand miles of land, the Gu Yuan Tribe was the undeniable overlord of this vast fertile land.
On this piece of land, the treasured dicines dug up belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe, the ores mined to forge weapons belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe, even the incredibly precious Elental Stone Vein also belonged to them.
The increase in territory represented the growth of strength.
Who could guarantee that, one day, after the Gu Yuan Tribe truly rises, they won’t settle the score with the two tribes?
The saying goes, “strike first to gain the advantage.” At this mont, the Xuan She Kui Shui two tribes clearly wish to settle things once and for all, to nip the problem in the bud.
As for when the Gu Yuan Tribe was defeated, who the three thousand miles of land belonged to then; whether the two tribes would annex it, or if they would nurture a few puppet tribes – that would be a piece of cake.
This kind of thing was as commonplace as dinner in the Great Wasteland.
Xiao Chen, after leaving the first floor space of the Stone Tower, directly returned to his residence at the top.
As the resting place for the leader of a tribe, the area was extrely spacious.
The huge Qing Stone bed was five Zhang long and two Zhang wide.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Chen waved his hand, and a number of items instantly appeared before his eyes.
A Pill Cauldron and several dicinal herbs – he was intending to start the Alchemy furnace now.
The Xuan She Kui Shui hevere at least five Blood Refining Realm Warriors, whereas his Gu Yuan Tribe had three Blood Refining Realm Warriors.
However, the second elder Lin Shan was seriously injured and away in Duanmu City, and Mu Qing, although in the Blood Refining Realm, had little experience in combat.
As a result, the Gu Yuan Tribe was disadvantaged in terms of the tribe’s peak fights.
At present, Huang Liang, Shi Ya and others in the tribe, under Xiao Chen’s care, had all reached the Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm of Martial Arts cultivation, only a step away from the Blood Refining Realm.
But this last step was like a moat.
At this mont, the only hope for a breakthrough was to rely on external force.
So no matter what, Xiao Chen had to go for broke.
At this mont, he wanted to refine a pill known as the Channel-opening Pill, which was the supre treasure pill for warriors of Perfect Bone-Tempering Realm to break through to the Blood Refining Realm.
However, the grade of this pill was too high, and Xiao Chen can’t guarantee what success rate he could achieve considering his current realm.
The Channel-opening Pill mainly consisted of Channel-opening Grass, along with eighteen other five hundred-year-old treasure dicines that worked together to refine into a pill.
This ti when he started the Alchemy process, the normally superior Charcoal was already insufficient.
He required lower grade Elental Stones as fuel and Combat Qi to ignite the refining fla.
It had to be said that pill refinent was indeed a money-burning profession – if the pill was successfully refined, all was fine.
If not, it would be a total loss.
Having prepared the Elental Stones and dicinal materials, Xiao Chen closed his eyes slightly, starting to adjust the raging Combat Qi within his body.
A quarter of an hour later, when he opened his eyes again, his pitch-black eyes were as calm as water, without a trace of fluctuation.
In his mind, thods and precautions for refining the Channel-opening Pill constantly flashed.
Without hesitation, the Elental Stones under the Pill Cauldron were instantly ignited by Combat Qi, the roaring Elental Stone fire instantly enveloped the entire Pill Furnace.
Soon after, a burning heat wave surged up within the entire room, one could only imagine how amazing the heat within the Pill Cauldron was at this mont.
Now was the ti!
Xiao Chen, without hesitation, put the Channel-opening Grass next to him into the Pill Cauldron.
The over one ter tall Channel-opening Grass, which was entirely erald and translucent, barely endured for less than a quarter of an hour under the intense high temperature.
The originally erald leaves began to show signs of lting.
Xiao Chen’s soul perception surged into the pill cauldron like a tide, continuously sensing the changes of the Channel-opening Grass.
His mind was split in two, adjusting the temperature of the entire pill cauldron according to the changes of the grass.
Endless heat was constantly consud by the Channel-opening Grass.
The crystalline green body of the herb progressively disintegrated under high temperature, transforming into extrely pure, minuscule particles and emitting a rich aroma.
Once the Year of Huahua, the main ingredient of this Channel-opening Pill, had matured, the rest of the dicinal materials were relatively simple and easy.
The refined crystalline particles were taken out of the pill cauldron and placed in a prepared jade box.
Then Xiao Chen again slowly knelt down and used Combat Qi to burn the entire Pill Cauldron, eliminating the impurities that remained in the cauldron from the refining of the Channel-opening Grass.
The three-foot-tall Beast-patterned Cauldron was once again enveloped by the white elental fire.
Perhaps it was due to Xiao Chen’s increased strength or the extraordinary performance under external enemy pressure, but the current alchemy process had been smooth sailing.
The hardest Channel-opening Grass had been refined successfully, and the subsequent several dicinal herbs were also successfully tempered without any alarming incidents.
In front of him were more than ten piles of crystalline transparent powder-like particles, each emitting a brilliant glow and strands of dicinal fragrance resonating with each other.
Hum!
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, the air mixed with the rich aroma within tens of ters of the stone chamber imploded.
The next step was the most crucial mont of this alchemy process – forming the pill!
A slip would result in all previous efforts being in vain.
The formidable energy of blood surged from his body, sweeping the semi-micro particles of more than ten dicinal materials into the cauldron.
Imdiately, with a movent of his mind, the elental stone fire was imposed underneath the cauldron, which rose again.
More than ten semi-micro particles ford more than ten rays of light falling into the cauldron.
In an instant, five-colored rosy clouds splashed, the black cauldron lid trembled, seemingly unable to suppress the riotous aura within the cauldron.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen pressed the lid down with a bang, and his soul perception infiltrated into the cauldron, constantly sensing the fusion of more than ten dicinal materials inside.
Under the regulation of Xiao Chen’s soul perception, he constantly controlled the Elental Stone fire outside the cauldron to maintain the optimal temperature inside the cauldron.
Finally, under his control, these micro-particles began to condense rapidly, and even strands of auspicious qi began to erge.
Eventually, eight pills with a strong jade-green color condensed inside the cauldron.
These eight pills were crystalline and transparent, under the jade-green body of the pill, you could seemingly see strands of jade-green liquid moving around.
They were crystal clear, flawless, and pure, with their dicinal power refined to the extre.
Snuffing the elental stone fire outside the cauldron, Xiao Chen swiftly collected the eight pills into a dicine bottle in a single, fluid movent.
