Truly speaking, Yang Chen was certainly excited. He was controlling the Profound Spirit Furnace so he naturally knew that the Black Tiger Suppressing Elixir had been successfully refined. But this mont, he had spied an opportunity of good fortune so he imdiately summoned the Nanming Fire to begin a second refining without hesitation.
If he wanted to increase the level of his pill concocting, than only relying on his experience of ten thousand years of refining so low grade elixirs was absolutely impossible. Only by charging forward to refine high grade elixirs would improve his pill concocting.
Since he wanted to establish himself as a pill concocting master in this life, and a high grade pill concocting master at that, Yang Chen couldn’t let any opportunity slip by. And in front of him was one of the most optimum opportunity.
The Black Tiger Suppressing Elixir wasn’t entirely crucial to the overall treatnt plan. It was only an to suppress the injury from worsening, a transitional elixer. Yang Chen had intentionally created this step to impress the difficulty of pill concocting onto the Beast Suppressing Sect, so even if it failed, it wasn’t a problem.
Another important fact was that regardless of however unimportant this Black Tiger Suppressing Elixir was to the overall picture, it was still an elixir ant to be used by a Da Cheng stage expert. The higher the grade of the pill, the greater the difficulty in refining it. There was no need to prove this, it could be seen clearly from Yang Chen using two types of flas as well as both water and fire to complete the refining. Refining such a high grade elixir to second grade was certainly an exceptionally good opportunity for Yang Chen to improve the level of his pill concocting.
Within Great Elder’s pill scripture, there were many records. Because of his cultivation, Yang Chen had selected the most suitable type of thod for this type of refining. To Zhu Chentao, it seed that he was just cultivating according to so set rules.
Naturally, Zhu Chentao didn’t understand the high grade skills and techniques within this kind of seemingly ordinary refining which Yang Chen was doing, but this didn’t stop Zhu CHentao from realizing that Yang Chen was advancing the refining to second grade.
While being careful that neither himself nor Ho Lin disturbed Yang Chen, Zhu Chentao was carefully observing Yang Chen’s refining. But what again astonished Zhu Chentao was that he couldn’t make any sense of what Yang Chen was doing. What was even more difficult to bear was that at this mont, Yang Chen was extrely focused, and not in a position to answer any of the myriad questions he had.
With his heart tense yet full of expectation for two months, Yang Chen’s refining finally ca to an end. WIth an exceptionally clean pill collecting technique, the fla wrapped around the pill flickered down to embers, leaving behind a crimson pill. Only, on the pill, there were two exceptionally clear pill marks.
The mark of a second grade pill was precisely the two pill marks. But since the pill marks were so clear, Zhu Chentao almost wanted to extend his eyes to his hand and put the second grade Black Tiger Suppressing Elixir in his eyes. Ho Lin was looking at that beautiful elixir with even more infatuation and was speechless for a long ti.
“I want to rest a little!”
Yang Chen only said these words and imdiately sat down in a ditative posture and threw two Profound Yang Fruits in his mouth, closing his eyes without saying anything.
During the first refining, Yang Chen could still distract himself and explain things. During the second grade refining, the technique was seemingly ordinary, but Yang Chen was strained enough to be unable to say anything. In the previous year, he hadn’t sensed any pressure, but the refining of last two months seed to have utterly drained Yang Chen’s entire strength.
His spiritual awareness and spirit power had been consud to the extre, and astonishingly, his ability to recover his power had also been deeply affected. Once the Profound Yang Fruit entered his stomach, as if a clean spring had begun to flow through a desert, it was completely absorbed in an instant.
Fortunately, they were inside the Second Fierce Yang Courtyard. The spirit power in the underground vein was greatly sufficient and with the spirit power of the Profound Yang Fruits, Yang Chen soon thrumd with spirit power.
However, recovering the spirit power was easy, but recovering his spiritual awareness wasn’t so simple. So after half of his spirit power had been recovered, Yang Chen stopped cultivating spirit power and began to cultivate Three Purities Secrets to restore his spiritual awareness.
This was the first ti that Yang Chen’s spiritual awareness had been consud completely after reaching foundation stage. Even though his spiritual awareness had already reached initial YuanYing stage, it was still of no help. This clearly proved the difficulty of the second stage of refining.
However, apparently this was in accordance with the principles of cultivation. Despite being ferociously consud, with the formidable supplent from Three Purities Secrets, the restored spirit power was seemingly more compact compared to before. After so much practice, maybe Three Purities Secrets could really break through to the fourth layer.
Naturally, that is sothing to be done later. For the ti being Yang Chen didn’t have any extravagant hope of reaching the fourth layer. Right now, he he had forcefully reached the third layer by drawing on the power from beheading tens of thousands of immortals as well as fusing the will of the Immortal Executioner’s Platform. That was already taking advantage of his trendous luck, Yang Chen didn’t think there was still a place in the secular world that would give the opportunity to behead so many like the Immortal Executioner’s Platform.
Yang Chen rested for around ten days. Within these ten days, Zhu Chentao was unable to remain calm and was continuously tweaking his ears and scratching his cheeks.
Yang Chen had surprisingly refined the Black Tiger Suppressing Elixir to second grade, how could that not drive Zhu Chentao crazy with happiness? He had waited until Yang Chen had recovered with great difficulty, but as soon as Yang Chen awoke, he wasn’t able to wait anymore. Facing the volley of questions, Yang Chen didn’t knew which he should reply to first.
Yang Chen was even more embarrassed upon finding out that Zhu Chentao was unable to make head or tails of a few of his simplest techniques! His brow deeply furrowed, Zhu Chentao was completely engrossed in Yang Chen’s words. Unfortunately, so of things were from Yang Chen’s experience while others he had learned from reading books, Zhu Chentao didn’t have this experience and knowledge, so basically he didn’t understand.
“Don’t be hasty, uncle master!”
Finally Yang Chen could only force a bitter smile and remind Zhu Chentao. However he didn’t say much, if he said too much, Zhu Chentao will lose face.
“On the path of pill concocting, I am still far behind!’
Zhu Chentao himself realized and took a deep sigh. However, afterwards he vigorously stood up,
“It seems this old man would have to live a little bit longer to see more things.”
After he finished saying this, his eyes burned with an unprecedented seriousness.
Zhu Chentao used to think that until he broke through JieDan stage, it will be impossible for him to move forward on the path of pill concocting. After he had witnessed Yang Chen’s fire control, desire had begun to rise once again within his heart. But after today, the conviction of victory has been genuinely established in him. This would prove to be a great advantage for him when he attempted his ascension to YuanYing stage.
“After delivering this elixir to the people of Beast Taming Sect, should we continue imdiately?”
After setting a goal, Zhu Chentao was impatiently waiting to participate in the refining of the Black Tiger Spirit Supporting Pill. He was already itching to once again observe Yang Chen’s pill concocting techniques.
“Don’t be hasty, uncle master Zhu!”
Yang Chen shook his head with a smile:
“Uncle master, rest during this ti. Take this ti to comprehend everything you’ve learned. Disciple will have to refine this Black Tiger Spirit Supporting Pill personally, since only disciple has taken a look at senior black tiger’s injuries.”
“Why is that?”
Zhu Chentao asked this, but before Yang Chen could reply he understood. For an elixir which is going to be used by a Da Cheng stage expert, whatever the results were, the eventual responsibility would land on Yang Chen who had suggested the pill recipe and refining thod. As such, this ti he couldn’t just watch from the sides, otherwise the people of Beast Taming Sect will also not dare to make senior black tiger take this elixir.
“Fine, you go to Beast Taming Sect, this old man will enter seclusion for two months.”
Zhu Chentao waved his hand and made his arrangents. Before leaving, he didn’t forgot to take Ho Lin,
“You also co, I have looked at your fire controlling thods. Are you willing to beco this old man’s disciple?”
This was one of Ho Lin’s aims when entering pill concocting with Yang Chen. Hearing Zhu Chentao’s words, Ho Lin was simply pleased beyond expectation. Without any hesitation, she imdiately tapped her head on the ground,
“Master, please accept disciple’s salutations!”
“Slow down! Slow down!”
Zhu Chentao’s words pushed Ho Lin’s heart into the deepest abyss, was there still so problem?
“Uncle master!”
Yang Chen also couldn’t help but speak up, not realizing Zhu Chentao’s aning.
“Humph, when you beco a disciple, you have to beco a glorious disciple of the dicine Hall. Why should this old man’s disciple simply kowtow?”
Zhu Chentao snorted, flung his sleeves and walked out of Yang Chen’s small courtyard:
“Ho Lin, follow your master. Good or bad, this old man is a hall master of the dicine Hall, so there must be a grand ceremony!”
Ho Lin was greatly overjoyed at the unexpected news and glanced at Yang Chen. She suddenly tapped her head on ground heavily towards Yang Chen and got up tearfully, hastily following after Zhu Chentao and leaving Yang Chen’s courtyard.
After coming out of seclusion, Yang Chen’s first target was naturally his master. Within short four years, Gao Yue’s water attributed cultivation had already entered the late stage of qi layer, only a step away from reaching peak qi layer.
From beginning to end, it had only required seven years to reach this stage. Although Yang Chen had offered great supplents in the form of Profound Yang Fruits, it has to be said, Gao Yue really was extrely suitable for a water attributed cultivation thod.
After realizing this point, Gao Yue’s trust towards Yang Chen increased even more. Removing all doubts, she devoted herself to cultivation. Seeing Yang Chen co out of seclusion, she made her own inquiries about him. After hearing that Yang Chen had refined the second grade Black Tiger Suppressing Elixir, she urged Yang Chen to make haste and deliver it to the people of Beast Taming Sect.
Fan Shan was the representative connecting Beast Taming Sect and Pure Yang Palace. Just two months before Yang Chen’s first stage of refining had ended, he had rushed over to Pure Yang Palace, fearing that Yang Chen may have co out of seclusion in advance and hoping to avoid delay. It seed that senior black tiger’s injuries had again worsened.
“Second grade elixir?”
Fan Shan was both surprised and excited at the sa ti. Yang Chen had put forward the second grade Black Tiger Suppressing Elixir, so clearly the refining was a success. If this was true, wouldn’t it an that they would had greater assurance of controlling senior black tiger’s injuries from worsening? After looking at the pill, Fan Shan couldn’t help himself and started urging,
“Walk faster, walk faster!”
“Wait for so ti, elder brother, let make a report to Palace Master.”
Yang Chen smiled and urged Fan Shan to stay. Such a matter of great importance, how could he not inform Palace Master Zhong Jiao before leaving for Beast Taming Sect,
“Be relieved, senior black tiger’s injuries will certainly not worsen after taking this pill.”
With Yang Chen’s assurance, Fan Shan was greatly relieved. After all the convoluted formalities had been rushed through, a few elders of Pure Yang Palace still had so questions, so only after that did Yang Chen depart with Fan Shan.
“Younger brother, wait here for older brother for a mont.”
After crossing iQing Mountain’s market and coming out of Pure Yang Palace’s territory, both of them had just flown for half a day and arrived at the edge of a great mountain when Fan Shan suddenly made Yang Chen stop,
“Older brother has to collect so spirit beasts.”
So spirit beasts were specifically reared on this mountain cliff, and collecting them here would avoid wasting ti later. Yang Chen also nodded, it would only take a mont for Fan Shan to capture the spirit beast, so waiting for a mont was no big deal.
Fan Shan quickly disappeared. Being bored, Yang Chen found a big tree to sit atop. He was sitting on the top of the tree enjoying the view of the surroundings. But, in just a mont, he wrinkled his brows, spotting soone flying over on a flying sword from the other side.
Warned by his spiritual awareness, his gaze flicked over. Within a few monts, Yang Chen discovered the identity of that person.
What astonished Yang Chen was that the person coming over was soone he had previously crossed paths with. He had t Greatest Heaven Sect’s JieDan stage cultivator Cheng Wencai for the first ti when he tried to humiliate Yang Chen, which resulted in his realm falling, and for the second ti during the ti of great calamity of devil cultivation where he had lost a bet to Yang Chen and Gao Yue about a kowtow.
Cheng Wencai also discovered Yang Chen’s presence and turned his flying sword towards the region closer to Yang Chen. Floating under the clouds, he gazed at Yang Chen for a long mont before breaking out in a sneer,
“I was thinking who it was and it turned out to be you!”
“So it was senior Cheng!”
Yang Chen remained sitting on the tree top without any intention of standing up and smilingly asked,
“Senior hurrying like this, where are you going?”
“Youngster, this is a desolate area outside the city, what are you doing here?”
Naturally Cheng Wencai didn’t bother answering Yang Chen’s question and nacingly asked.
“Whatever this youngster is doing here, isn’t it unrelated to senior?”
His smile unaffected, Yang Chen gazed into Cheng Wencai’s eyes, strongle tempted to punch his lights out.
Attentively watching Yang Chen’s face, Cheng Wencai’s spiritual awareness was quickly released. He also hadn’t expected to run into Yang Chen. But since he had run into him, that could only be called Yang Chen’s bad luck. Within this barren mountain, if there weren’t other people, then it was an exceptionally good place to kill people.
“Youngster, don’t say that I didn’t you give you any opportunity!”
Cheng Wencai’s spiritual awareness explored for a good mont and didn’t found anyone in a ten mile radius. An evil grin split his face as he said,
“Obediently kowtow and admit your errors towards and this old man will let your death be easy!”
“Kowtow? Admit mistakes? Easy death?”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but expose a stunned expression, looking all around, seemingly only noticing that his fortune is not that good.
“You need not waste your breath making sches!”
Cheng Wencai looked at Yang Chen with contempt,
“This old man has already examined the surroundings, and there is no one else beside us. Yang Chen, you do not walk on the road to heaven, and neither does hell have a gate to burst into. You have humiliated this old man, and I will extract my due a hundred, no, a thousand tis over.”
“You dare to kill ?”
Yang Chen showed a seemingly panicked expression, as if he was intimidated. Yet, unexpectedly, he still hadn’t stood up.
“The scenery is very enchanting here, but at the sa ti it is an exceptionally good place for burying corpses!”
Cheng Wencai mischievously laughed, enjoying the panic on Yang Chen’s face as if drinking the finest wine,
“After killing you, I will also kill that bitch master of yours at so other ti. Daring to make this old man kowtow, humph, don’t say this was unannounced, the ti to pay for my humiliation had finally co!”
“Seemingly, this really is a pretty good place for disposing a corpse!”
Hearing Cheng Wencai speak about Gao Yue, Yang Chen’s expression turned ice cold.
