When the Reverse Dao Water Spirit Flame was sent into the Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace, the entire furnace faintly lit up, as if a dried-up riverbed was finally nourished by water, and it even felt radiant.
"Could it be that this Reverse Dao Water Spirit Flame is highly compatible with the Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace?" Long Chen was slightly taken aback.
At that moment, a divine thought came from the Nine Lotus Soul-Gathering Pill in Long Chen's soul space, and Long Chen suddenly understood.
It turned out that the owner of this Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace also controlled the Reverse Path Water Spirit Flame. No wonder the reaction to the Reverse Path Water Spirit Flame was so intense.
"It really is fate. You need me, and I need you too."
Long Chen smiled. Everything was too coincidental. Then it must be fate—he was destined to be connected with the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace.
Long Chen never believed in luck, but this time luck was somewhat unbelievable. He had never believed it, but now he understood that it wasn't just luck, but that this Moon Molten Star Refining Furnace had been waiting for him all along.
Long Chen discovered that even though the artifact spirit was asleep, the Reverse Dao Water Spirit Flame was driving it. The runes inside the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace actually generated a sense of its own, transforming the flame into it. The flame, which had previously failed to reach the micro-level control, fused into the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace, gradually stabilizing from a slight flicker to a steady one.
"This time, the success rate has increased significantly." Long Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He slowly poured the medicinal powder into the Moon Furnace in order. The powder gradually transformed into a lake-colored solution—this was the essence of the rare medicine.
Long Chen stared intently at the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace, watching the changes in the medicinal liquid and strictly controlling the alchemical fire, not daring to be careless for a moment.
"Whew."
But after merging with the thirty-seventh type of powder, all the liquid medicine was reduced to ashes due to distraction, and all previous efforts were wasted.
But Long Chen's mindset showed no wavering; everything was predictable. Success in one go was absolutely impossible.
The Moon Molten Star Refining Furnace was unfamiliar; the pill fire had not yet been fully controlled, nor had he ever refined such a pill before. Everything had to be done through exploration.
So Long Chen was prepared from the start, refining thirty portions of medicinal powder. He was someone who never lived by luck, only believed in strength.
However, the difficulty of this eleventh-tier pill was still beyond imagination. After failing seven times in a row, Long Chen had no choice but to stop.
His soul power dropped by ten percent; if it were during battle, a ten percent drop was nothing.
However, during alchemy, if your soul power drops by 10%, your attention drops by 20%. In this case, the chance of failure greatly increases.
However, the only consolation was that after each failure, Long Chen could merge even more medicinal powder.
Now he can fuse more than 130 types. Long Chen's greatest strength lies in a single mistake—he absolutely won't make it twice.
As long as you persist, no matter how many failures you have, you will eventually succeed. Long Chen has always believed in this philosophy: even if luck is bad, if you put in ten or even a hundred times more effort than others, you can still succeed. Complaining is completely meaningless.
This unbearable misfortune has forged Long Chen's unwavering willpower. He can face failure calmly, strive to find a way out in adversity, and never give up.
Long Chen took a Soul-Nourishing Pill, rested for a while, his soul recovered, and he resumed mixing the medicinal powder.
Failing again and again, Long Chen lost count of how many times he had failed. Unconsciously, thirty doses of medicinal powder were nearly exhausted.
But Long Chen grew more confident, because he knew he was getting closer and closer to success.
"Buzz!"
Finally, over two hundred portions of medicinal powder were successfully fused. The lid of the Moon Furnace closed, runes flowed from its body, and at the same time, the formation inside the chamber began to automatically activate, absorbing the power of all the Dao of heaven and earth.
"This pill refining room is really impressive. We have to get one next time." Long Chen looked at the continuously circulating runes on the wall, recording them with the Shadow Jade, planning to let Xia Chen study them later.
Half an hour later, a muffled sound came from inside the Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace. The furnace began to tremble slightly, then quickly fell silent again.
"I did it!"
Long Chen was overjoyed. He slowly lifted the lid, and a rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire chamber.
However, Long Chen frowned, stretched out his large hand, and a smooth pill flew out from the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace, landing in Long Chen's hand.
"The Danxiang wasn't locked. It must have been during the seventh heat rotation that the fire was delivered slowly, causing the outer garment to solidify slowly and resulting in sand holes."
Long Chen carefully examined the pill in his hand and muttered to himself.
This pill bore a dazzling pattern—a high-grade eleventh-grade pill. Although not top-grade, its value was still very high.
However, it took nearly thirty doses of powder to refine a single top-grade pill. The value of this pill still couldn't make up for the losses, and the cost simply couldn't be recovered.
Long Chen examined the pill carefully, his eyes calm. He pressed his fingers lightly, and when the pill was opened, dark red flesh immediately flowed out, making the medicinal fragrance even stronger.
"There are no major flaws in the fusion, nothing major. Overall, I'm very satisfied. This experiment was a great success." A satisfied smile appeared on Long Chen's face.
Once the problem is found, things become much easier. The first time forming a pill, there will definitely be many flaws.
At first, Long Chen thought it was during the fusion process, but if something went wrong, it would be troublesome. If the fusion went wrong, he would have to recheck the previous steps. If nothing went wrong, he would have to rearrange the fusion sequence, which would take a lot of time.
However, Long Chen looked carefully inside, and there was no problem with the fusion—in other words, it was still a matter of the timing of the fire.
He had originally worried about possible problems, but none of them turned out to be seriously problematic. Long Chen knew this was all thanks to the Moon Furnace and the Alchemy Room, which had made up for some flaws.
An hour later, the second batch of pills was fused. Once the lid was sealed, Long Chen's soul power was fully activated. The Reverse Dao Water Spirit Flame emitted streaks of red light, enveloping the entire Moon Furnace of Refining the Star.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
As the Reverse Dao Water Spirit Flame operated at full power, the entire alchemy chamber buzzed violently. Endless runes flowed on the walls, and the power of the Great Dao surged, continuously pouring into the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace.
"Bang bang bang... The
Melting Moon Star Refining Furnace rumbled continuously. Sweat had already begun to bead on Long Chen's forehead. The Fire Dragon couldn't master the Reverse Path Water Spirit Flame at the micro level, so Long Chen needed to use his soul power to assist.
At this moment, Long Chen was fueled by soul power, fully driving the Reverse Dao Water Spirit Flame. His soul was depleted rapidly, and in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, his whole body was drenched in sweat.
During the process of fusing the medicinal powder, since he had to split his mind and use it twice, he couldn't waste soul power. But once the furnace was sealed, he just needed to control the heat.
At this point, the soul power can burn wildly. A bit stronger is fine, but with the support of the Moon Melting Star Furnace, it can be controlled, as long as it's not too large.
When the flames shift, if the firepower can't keep up, then just like before, the Dan Garment will be affectedIf you can't lock in the medicinal power in time, it will be broken through, forming trachoma, which will leak out and greatly damage the quality of the pill.
At this moment, Long Chen poured his soul power into it without reservation, burning wildly, all to absolutely control the power of the Reverse Dao Water Spirit Flame.
"Rumble rumble... The
Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace began to shake continuously, and faint rumbling sounds could be heard from within. An invisible force emerged, causing Long Chen's expression to change slightly.
"Seal!"
Long Chen shouted sharply, controlling the fire with one hand, while runes swirled in the other hand and pressed against the furnace lid.
You have to understand, the current Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace spirit hasn't awakened; everything is acting on instinct, unable to assist Long Chen much.
Especially now, because the pill's power was too immense, combined with the formation in the alchemy chamber, it felt the urge to break free from its restraints and burst forth.
This is a very dangerous period. Alchemists, due to their noble status, rarely have enemies or enemies and pay attention to worldly affairs. By rights, they should die a natural death without dying violently.
But on the contrary, nearly seventy percent of alchemists met a tragic end; these seventy percent ultimately died under the influence of the pills.
The greatest pursuit of an alchemist in life is to constantly challenge themselves, refine unique pills, and become a grandmaster of their generation.
However, some pills are so powerful that once they exceed the alchemist's control, they become extremely dangerous because they can cause the furnace to explode.
Even if the furnace didn't explode, the force bursting out from inside the furnace would be enough to destroy mountains.
Ordinary alchemists have extremely fragile bodies and cannot withstand such terrifying impacts; they will instantly be reduced to dust, leaving no bones behind.
Long Chen was sweating profusely at this moment, because he hadn't expected that this pill recipe from the Dan Emperor's memories could be so terrifying.
Ever since entering the Brahma Heaven Divine Hall, at the bottom of the Divine Pool, no one knew what that mysterious woman had done. Long Chen's Dan Emperor memory awakened a second time, and it was then that he first learned about this pill recipe.
Now the furnace was trembling. If that force were allowed to burst out, it would likely be leveled to the ground within a hundred miles.
You have to understand, this is the ancient castle of the Dongfang family. If it explodes here, won't the Dongfang family come after him to fight to the death?
"I miscalculated. If I'd known, I would've made the pills passed down in the Pill Valley." Long Chen couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.
His soul power was already insufficient, but he needed to control the flame power while sealing the pill furnace to prevent that force from breaking out. This was far beyond his expectations.
"Oh no, my soul power is running low." Long Chen's expression turned somewhat grim.
To improve the quality of the pills, he calculated with great precision. Within the limits of his soul power, he could achieve the best results. After forming the pill, his soul power was almost depleted.
But now, with an accident, Long Chen couldn't help but curse loudly. Truly, bad luck was on his side, with misfortune happening one after another.
"Boom boom boom... The
pill furnace exploded wildly. Long Chen's face turned pale as he desperately pressed the lid. The pill was nearly formed; if it rushed out, it would explode instantly, and that would be disaster.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Long Chen's large hand trembled, and he was bounced off. Long Chen's face changed drastically.
