"This ..."
Hearing Long Chen say this, the Qiankun Cauldron seemed stunned.
"Yao Ling'er, come help me." Long Chen said to Yaoyue Cauldron.
"Alright!"
As soon as she heard she needed help, Yao Ling'er was instantly thrilled and started warming the stove. Long Chen started refining the precious herbs one by one.
It must be said, although Yao Ling'er had been asleep for a long time, she was not unfamiliar with alchemy. Although she could not fully control the Yaoyue Cauldron yet, it was a Human Emperor divine weapon, making it effortless to refine.
Long Chen didn't refine any pills, but instead made buckets after buckets of medicinal liquid. All of these were transparent. Yao Ling'er looked at them and couldn't help but ask curiously, "
Brother Long Chen, what is this liquid for?"
"These medicinal liquids are meant to induce the demon spirit into an even deeper slumber."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he exited the chaotic space and carefully injected the medicinal liquid into the demonic embryo drop by drop. Because the dosage was very small, at first the demonic embryo showed no reaction at all, not even the demon spirit's aura changed.
However, as time passed, after an hour, Long Chen clearly felt that the frequency of the demon spirit's soul fluctuations was no longer as fast as before.
Seeing this, Long Chen was overjoyed. This meant the sleep-inducing potion was working. He then sped up and poured the entire bucket of potion into it. The medicinal power was quickly absorbed by the demon spirit. This time, the demon spirit's aura became slow and lingering. Long Chen deliberately paced back and forth on the demon fetus's shell, but it showed no reaction.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen returned to the chaotic space and refined the elixir again. This time, he refined another kind of liquid, and even the Yaoyue Cauldron and the Qiankun Cauldron didn't know what effect this liquid could have.
Although the Qiankun Cauldron can refine any pill, there is one pill it dares not touch—one that is intended to harm or kill.
It is the Kun Cauldron, governing life force; killing would damage its origin, so it knows nothing about poisons.
Therefore, it believed Long Chen could not take down the demon spirit, but it never considered poisoning. Poisoning had always been considered a despicable and despicable act.
But Long Chen never considered himself a good person. Sometimes, to achieve a goal, one should stop at nothing, and most importantly, no one would know anyway.
Long Chen's second bucket of medicinal liquid was also for sleep, but anesthesia was added to it. After adding it, the demon spirit showed little reaction, and Long Chen suddenly became bolder.
The third barrel of liquid was pure anesthetic. The anesthetic Long Chen refined was extremely terrifying. To test its effects, Long Chen lightly inhaled it himself and felt a wave of drunkenness.
When the third barrel of anesthesia was poured into the demon embryo, the entire altar suddenly began to tremble. Long Chen was startled, thinking the demon spirit had awakened, but the demon spirit was sleeping like a dead pig, showing no reaction at all.
"Senior, absorb part of the demonic fetus's power, or you won't be able to maintain balance." Long Chen called out urgently.
He discovered that the demon spirit had already fallen into a deep sleep. The four demon heads on the altar were still diligently absorbing the power of the offerings. Without the demon spirit's absorption, the power inside the demon embryo began to swell.
The Qiankun Cauldron had previously been startled by Long Chen's methods. After Long Chen reminded him, it appeared above Long Chen's head and began rapidly absorbing the power of the demonic embryo.
"Senior, why didn't you just absorb it directly, but instead inject it into the chaotic space?" Long Chen discovered that the Qiankun Cauldron did not absorb the Hongmeng Purple Qi into his body, but instead injected it into the chaotic space, forming a purple cloud within the chaotic space.
"First, this thing cannot be absorbed directly; it requires the help of the golden lotus seed's power to purify the dark energy within.
Second, this is a supreme treasure. Not only do I need it, but the Dragon Bone Evil Moon and Demon Moon Cauldron also need it. It wouldn't be good for me to keep it all to myself. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
Long Chen's heart stirred. Even the Qiankun Cauldron said this was a supreme treasure, so it really was supreme. But since it was supreme, it should be fought fiercely. What did you mean by persuading me to give up earlier? Could it be that the artifact spirit really lacks any sense of adventure?
Long Chen had always felt that the thinking of the Qiankun Cauldron was too conservative, but he also knew his own flaw—often being too reckless—and the two of them could complement each other.
The purple cloud within the chaotic space was slowly expanding. From its initial radius of about ten feet, it now covered a hundred li, and it was rapidly expanding.
After hearing the Qiankun Cauldron's explanation, Long Chen finally noticed that the purple cloud looked like a piece of purple jade, but it was covered with specks of black spots.
Looking at those spotted black spots, Long Chen actually felt a sense of apprehension, as if even within the chaotic space, these spots could still harm him.
The Qiankun Cauldron seemed to deliberately send this purple energy beneath the golden lotus seeds. Under the glow of the golden lotus seeds, the black spots slowly faded. Within the circulation of the purple energy, endless energy surged, and the entire chaotic space began to ripple with strange fluctuations because of their presence.
Long Chen did not notice the changes in the chaotic space; at this moment, he was fully focused on refining the medicinal powder.
"Poison Dragon Thorn, Flower of the Underworld, Yin-Yang Herb, Soul-Eroding Spider... Long
Chen refined these powders, not daring to be distracted for a moment. This was his first time refining a poison pill, and it was the super poisonous kind.
Long Chen had asked the Qiankun Cauldron. This demon spirit was already a quasi-emperor-level existence. Under normal circumstances, trying to poison such a being would be almost a joke.
But while it was under anesthesia, there was still a chance of success—though Long Chen only had one chance.
Unlike the hypnotic and anesthetic drugs before, the poison pill Long Chen refined this time was truly deadly. Even the demon spirit, under anesthesia, could activate its life perception and awaken it.
Therefore, the poison pill Long Chen refined must be highly toxic. It must be poisoned before its life perception awakens, or all efforts will be wasted.
"Boom!"
Fortunately, Yao Ling'er was very effective. She succeeded on the first try. When the Yaoyue Cauldron opened, a giant pill the size of a baby's fist appeared before Long Chen.
The giant core wore a robe covered in dense patterns, looking terrifying and menacing. Long Chen didn't dare to grab it directly, but instead supported it with leaves from the ancient Fusang tree.
However, the moment the leaves of the ancient Fusang tree touched the elixir garment, the leaves withered instantly. Such terrifying toxicity made even Long Chen feel a chill run down his spine.
"This pill is too poisonous; it's simply unusable." Long Chen's expression changed. With such terrifying effects, the demon spirit would probably notice it as soon as he took it out.
Long Chen hurriedly coordinated with the Qiankun Cauldron to refine a pill garment. The poison pill garment couldn't block the toxicity at all.
After Long Chen wrapped the new pill armor and the poison pill, the terrifying aura completely disappeared. Not daring to delay, Long Chen approached the demonic embryo and slowly inserted the poison pill wrapped in the robe.
