The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 511
Chapter 511 Chaos Ancient City (7)
“Your pill refining skill has already gained everyone’s recognition, and you have also demonstrated your excellent fire control skills in public. Of course, I will not stop you.” Daoist Heavenly Eye said.
Patriarch Hanshan laughed heartily, “So good! That match just now was just a friendly spar. Don’t hurt your friendship.”
Half an hour later, Cheng Qingqing also finished refining the pill. He opened the lid of the furnace and a black smoke came out.
“I failed!” Everyone sighed. Although there was no furnace explosion, he managed to refine a waste pill. Obviously, there was a deviation in the final step of condensing the pill.
“Looks like my alchemy skills are far inferior to Big Brother Tieqing’s. I still need to improve.” Cheng Qingqing smiled, but there was not much discouragement on his face.
“At least you haven’t exploded yet, much better than my disappointing disciple.” Daoist Heavenly Eye snorted coldly.
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. This time, Daoist Heavenly Eye had lost all face. However, failure in refining pills was also a common occurrence. A temporary success or failure was not enough to prove anything, and no one laughed at it.
The pill refiner exchange meeting this time wasn’t disappointed by this episode. In the following period of time, everyone was still discussing some issues about the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus, and they had obtained quite a few useful conclusions.
In the evening, the pill would gradually dissipate.
Patriarch Hanshan brought Li Qing to the seventh floor of the pill room and said with a serious expression, “There are no outsiders here. Tell me frankly, what exactly is your identity?”
Li Qing’s heart trembled. Could it be that Patriarch Hanshan’s eyes were as sharp as torches, and he actually discovered his true identity?
“May I ask Daoist, what do you mean by that?” He asked calmly.
Patriarch Hanshan sneered, “There’s no need to hide anything. You should be a disciple of Fire God Sect, right?”
“Huh? Fire… Fire God Sect?” Li Qing was stunned. Did he dare to be misunderstood by the other party?
“Isn’t that so?”
“How can I see it?”
“Apart from the disciples of Fire God Sect, who else in the world can control the flames of the Nanming Li Fire?” Said Patriarch Hanshan.
“There will inevitably be exceptions in this world. This junior was lucky to have fused with the fire seed because of a lucky coincidence.”
‘”Fire seeds originated from the Southern Tribes. In order to expel obstructive energy and wild beasts, they created sacred altars to nurture fire seeds to protect one side. Afterwards, after the improvement of the Fire God, they were able to fuse fire seeds into the human body. Only the Fire God Sect has such a technique. It is extremely difficult for the world to obtain it. Since you are not the descendant of the Fire God Sect, where did you obtain such a technique?”
Li Qing was speechless. This was really hard to explain.
Patriarch Hanshan continued, “Besides, the superb fire control technique you displayed just now, if it’s not bad as I expected, should be Fire God Sect’s core technique-the Spirit of Fire, right?”
“Senior’s eyes are as sharp as torches. I can’t hide anything from you.” Li Qing smiled bitterly and nodded, “That’s right, I am indeed a disciple of the Fire God Sect. Daoist Master should not have any prejudice against my identity, right?”
“The Fire God Sect and Chaos City have been enemies for tens of thousands of years. Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?”
“However, I don’t see any killing intent in the eyes of a Daoist. If you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have explained so much to me, would you?”
“Good boy, you really have the guts!” Patriarch Hanshan gave Li Qing a deep look.
“If I didn’t have the guts, why would I come to Chaos City alone?”
“How is Phoenix now?” Patriarch Hanshan’s words changed.
“What?” Li Qing was stunned.
“It’s your Fire God Sect of Phoenix Goddess. How is she now?” Patriarch Hanshan coldly snorted and turned his head, his face slightly flushed red.
“Looks like he’s still obsessed with the Phoenix Goddess.” Li Qing thought to himself, but on the surface, he said quietly, “This junior rarely sees a goddess. I don’t know anything about her recent situation.”
“Forget it, I don’t know.” Patriarch Hanshan sighed.
“Senior, when are we going to start refining immortal pills?” Li Qing asked.
“There’s no hurry. We’ll work together to refine some ordinary pills first. After the two of us have a tacit understanding, we’ll officially start refining immortal pills!” Said Patriarch Hanshan.
For the next few days, Li Qing stayed in the black stone tower and refined all kinds of pills with Patriarch Hanshan every day.
At first, he was not very skilled, and there were often furnace explosions. Later, the situation became better and better, and he could gradually refine some spirit pills.
It had to be said that Nanming Li Fire was truly worthy of being called the Four Great True Fire of Heaven and Earth. After being thoroughly controlled, when used in pill refining, its speed and efficiency would not be comparable to an ordinary mortal fire.
Li Qing also benefited greatly from this process, and his pill refining techniques were constantly improving.
Before this, his knowledge of alchemy was all self-taught, mainly from the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance and the Medicine King’s Ceremony. In fact, he had not been taught by his master. In essence, it was considered a wild path.
Li Qing was able to reach this level with just one person’s fumbling. It had to be said that this was not bad.
However, there were still major flaws in the overall situation!
After being taught by Patriarch Hanshan, the Grand Grandmaster of the Pill Dao, Li Qing had accumulated a lot and corrected all of his deficiencies. Naturally, his level had risen by leaps and bounds.
More importantly, during his time with Patriarch Hanshan, Li Qing could clearly see his character.
Patriarch Hanshan is indeed an upright person, and his personality is quite similar to Li Qing’s. The two of them got along very well and quite well, and they seemed to have some intention of forgetting their years together.
“If you weren’t a disciple of Fire God Sect, I would have accepted you as my personal disciple.” Patriarch Hanshan often sighed. Unfortunately, Primordial Chaos City and Fire God Sect were sworn enemies. Not to mention being accepted as disciples of the Dao of Pills, even revealing their identities would bring disaster.
Even so, Patriarch Hanshan taught him everything he had learned in his life.
“After so many days of cooperation, we won’t make any mistakes in refining spirit pills. In another three days, it will be an auspicious day. Let’s officially begin refining immortal pills.” Said Patriarch Hanshan.
“This junior has a treasure. Perhaps it will be helpful in refining immortal pills. However, this matter is of great importance. Please keep it a secret and don’t reveal it.” Li Qing said.
“Oh? What treasure needs to be so careful?” Patriarch Hanshan couldn’t help but feel amused.
He was a Void Realm expert and a personal disciple of the City Lord of Chaos. He held a Chaos Stone Tombstone in his hand. What treasure had he never seen before?
Seeing that Li Qing’s cultivation was only at the Xiantian level, no matter how precious a treasure was, it was nothing more than a spirit artifact. Patriarch Hanshan really didn’t put it in his eyes.
“A high-grade pill furnace.” Li Qingshen said mysteriously.
“Taller than my Purple Sun Incense Furnace?” Patriarch Hanshan was stunned.
“Of course. Otherwise, what’s the point of taking it out?”
Patriarch Hanshan couldn’t help but change his expression slightly. His Purple Sun Incense Furnace was a mid-grade spirit artifact, and it could be considered a bit famous in the pill dao. There weren’t many people in the world who were of a higher grade than his pill furnace.
If it was really taller than a mid-grade spirit artifact pill furnace, then it was indeed a very precious treasure. No wonder this brat was so cautious.
In this world, high-grade pill furnaces were simply too rare. Their value was much higher than ordinary spirit artifacts.
“Looks like your luck isn’t small. To actually be able to obtain a high grade artifact spirit artifact pill furnace, this is indeed a heavy artifact. You can’t be too cautious.” Patriarch Hanshan nodded.
“Adept, please make a promise!” Li Qing said seriously.
Patriarch Hanshan stretched out his finger and said, “I swear here today that I will not reveal the fact that you possess a Spirit Artifact Pill Furnace, nor will I take it for myself. If I violate this oath, I will die under the Primordial Spirit Tribulation Fire!”
Li Qing’s expression changed slightly, “I only need a promise. Why should I swear an oath of the Heavenly Dao?”
“I swear the Heavenly Dao not only to reassure you, but also to bind me so that greed will not arise in my heart.” Patriarch Hanshan smiled.
The Heavenly Dao Oath had almost no binding force on ordinary people, but it was an inescapable shackle to existences above the Void Realm. The higher the cultivation level of an existence, the greater the restriction.
Moreover, when making the Heavenly Dao Oath, there was no such thing as using words to deceive them. Only by sincerely swore that the Heavenly Dao Oath would be established.
The moment Patriarch Hanshan swore the Heavenly Dao oath, Li Qing could feel that they had formed an oath relationship.
“Since Daoist is so sincere, how can I disappoint you?” Li Qing smiled and waved his hand. A pill furnace thirty to forty feet tall stood in the room.
‘”This is” Patriarch Hanshan’s eyes widened.
This huge pill furnace emitted an ancient aura. Among them, the most eye-catching was the carving on both sides of the pill furnace. One side was carved with a great sun, and the other side was carved with a serene moon.
“This is actually a top-grade spirit artifact pill furnace!” Patriarch Hanshan sucked in a breath of cold air with an expression of disbelief on his face.
“That’s right!”
“The front is the sun and the back is the moon. Could it be the legendary Sun Moon Pill Furnace of the Yin Yang Demon Emperor?”
“Daoist has good eyesight!” Li Qing nodded.
“I didn’t expect you to take out a top-grade spirit artifact pill furnace. This is truly beyond my expectations.” Patriarch Hanshan was speechless for a moment.
“May I ask what percentage of success rate can be increased by using this pill furnace?”
“Originally, I only had 40-50% confidence in my heart, but now that I have this top grade pill furnace, I have at least 70% confidence!” Patriarch Hanshan said excitedly.
“That’s great!”
Originally, Li Qing was still worried that Patriarch Hanshan would not recognize anyone after seeing the Sun Moon Pill Furnace. After all, such a precious treasure was enough to drive the world crazy.
Li Qing was also gambling, hoping that Patriarch Hanshan’s nature would be as upright as it appeared. From the looks of it, he didn’t disappoint Li Qing.
In order to refine immortal pills and increase the chances of success, these risks were worth taking.
