Long Chen had tried his best to overestimate the time when the Underworld Pill would break out, but he didn't expect it to be much earlier than expected. This also meant that Long Chen had to spend more soul power to condense the pill.
"Rumble..."
The alchemy furnace roared and trembled constantly, as if there were crazy monsters inside, struggling with all their strength to rush out.
Meng Qi did not dare to neglect, she formed seals with her hands, and the power of her soul surged towards Long Chen like a tide. With Meng Qi's help, divine patterns appeared on Long Chen's big hands, and poured into the alchemy furnace, forming chains of runes.
, sealing the entire alchemy furnace.
"Buzz"
But just as the chain was formed, black runes emerged, forming black beetles that were frantically biting Long Chen's rune chain.
"What the hell is this?" Long Chen was startled. This was the first time he saw such a thing.
These black beetles were like cockroaches, only a few inches long. As they bit, Long Chen felt that the power of his soul began to leak out quickly, as if he was being swallowed by them.
"This thing looks like a corpse-eating insect." Meng Qi exclaimed.
"It seems to be that thing."
Long Chen took a look, and it seemed that they were indeed corpse-eating insects. They were densely packed and looked a bit scary.
"Chirp..."
Suddenly, a sharp scream came from the alchemy furnace, which penetrated directly into people's souls. Long Chen and Meng Qi felt as painful as acupuncture in their minds.
Long Chen's spirit relaxed slightly, and the alchemy furnace exploded. His rune chain suddenly broke apart, and the furnace lid trembled, and was about to be blown away.
"Don't you believe I can't control you?"
Long Chen was furious, and he didn't care about the consumption of his soul power. The pressure of his soul radiated, and he clapped his big hand, and the furnace lid was sealed again.
"call"
The flames surged rapidly, and Long Chen used Rapid Fire to speed up the alchemy process.
"Boom boom boom..."
The more intense Long Chen's fire became, the greater the resistance within the alchemy furnace became. Above the alchemy furnace, shadows appeared, which was extremely strange. There were faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, which actually began to affect Long Chen.
"boom"
There was a loud bang, and after the alchemy furnace trembled violently, there was no more movement. Only then did Meng Qi breathe a sigh of relief, finally succeeding.
But when there was no surprise on Long Chen's face, he slowly took out the dragon bone Xie Yue and slowly opened the furnace lid with one hand.
"Buzz"
As soon as the stove lid was opened a crack, a black shadow shot out and went straight to Long Chen's face.
"boom"
Long Chen's Dragon Bone Evil Moon fell like lightning, shattering the light. Just as the light shattered, a figure flew out of the alchemy furnace and rushed towards Long Chen.
Even though Meng Qi had experienced many battles and encountered many dangers, she was still startled when she saw that figure and almost screamed.
It was a corpse with a rotten face, two eyes glowing green, and a mouth of sinister white teeth opened, and it rushed towards Long Chen.
"puff"
As soon as the black shadow rushed toward him, it was chopped into pieces by Long Chen's knife. The black shadow exploded into pieces and suddenly turned into a bat about the size of a foot, shooting out and trying to escape.
"boom"
As soon as it moved, Long Chen slapped it on the ground with the blade of his sword, and a round pill was spinning around on the ground.
In the elixir, there was a ferocious face, roaring crazily.
"Why is this elixir so powerful?" Meng Qi asked in horror.
"The elixir that condenses the way of death appears to kill living beings, so it must be vicious.
But this is not considered ferocious, I haven’t infused him with souls and transcended tribulations yet. If he completes the infusion of souls and transcending tribulations, it can even rival the average Heaven-Evolving One." Long Chen picked up the Mingmen Pill and said.
.
"So powerful?" Meng Qi couldn't help but be speechless.
"Do you think an alchemist can only make alchemy?" Long Chen said with a smile:
"A true alchemist can refine powerful elixirs that can be practiced by oneself, and their combat effectiveness is also very powerful.
For example, your Nine Lotus Soul Gathering Pill is an auxiliary pill, just like your pet, but you also know its power.
If it is a combat-type elixir, its combat effectiveness will not be worse than yours. Now you understand, alchemist is actually a very powerful profession."
"Then you can refine an army of pills?" Meng Qi said in surprise.
Long Chen shook his head, stretched out his hand to take out a few more Hades Gate Pills from the pill furnace, and said:
"Spirit injection is very troublesome. It takes a certain amount of time to inject your soul into the elixir, and then guide it and communicate with it.
Besides, not all alchemists can refine the best elixirs, and if you want to truly exert its power, you need the calamity elixir. The conditions are too harsh, others don’t have the chance, and I don’t have the time.”
Long Chen took a look at the Mingmen Pill in his hand. Sure enough, there was only one top-grade pill, and the rest were all mid-grade.
This was Long Chen's intention. After all, he had never refined the Underworld Pill before. If he refined a whole batch of top-quality pills, Long Chen was afraid of an accident, and it would be bad if Meng Qi was hurt.
"Snapped"
Long Chen pressed hard with his big hand, and the only top-quality Mingmen Pill was crushed by Long Chen.
After the elixir was crushed, a wave of soul came out, which seemed to be the resentment of the elixir before its death, or even a curse, which made people feel chilling.
"Long Chen, are you sure you want to take this pill?" Meng Qi said with some fear.
I don’t think this thing is for human consumption, but why don’t you eat it? Long Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, this thing is a bit deadly.
After crushing the elixir, Long Chen saw a small rune mark at the core of the elixir. Looking carefully, the mark turned out to be a skeleton.
Meng Qi also saw it, shook her head and said, "I'm sure this must be poison."
Even though Meng Qi is not a pill cultivator, she still knows that this is a highly poisonous pill based on her sense of life.
"No matter, let's make a furnace first and then talk about it."
Long Chen warmed the stove again. This time, Long Chen asked Meng Qi to summon the Nine Lotus Soul Gathering Pill. With the last experience, he quickly completed the pill.
As soon as Long Chen opened the furnace lid, phantoms flew out. Long Chen's dragon bone Xie Yue knocked down, smashed their phantoms into pieces, and threw them directly into the chaotic space for the thunder dragon to start to save them.
After overcoming the tribulation, Mingmen Dan became more and more violent, and even started to attack the Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon almost destroyed them in its rage.
Long Chen hurriedly put away these pills after the tribulation and asked Meng Qi to help protect the law. Looking at the dark gate pill in his hand, which was as black as ink and exuding endless death energy, he finally gritted his teeth and swallowed it.
"call"
Long Chen swallowed the elixir, and the elixir melted in his body. A black aura burst out from Long Chen's body.
At the same time, dense black runes appeared all over his body, like corpse-eating insects crawling, and Long Chen's life breath began to be swallowed up.
Meng Qi's heart twitched when she saw it. At this time, Long Chen's body was wrapped in deathly aura, and there was a black mist between his brows, which looked very scary.
Long Chen closed his eyes and sweat dropped from his forehead. His life force was draining away bit by bit. If this continued, he would be poisoned to death in less than a stick of incense.
But he firmly believed that the Pill Emperor's memory would not poison him. Soon, Long Chen's whole body was paralyzed, his body began to harden, and he became unruly, and the terrifying death aura rushed straight into Long Chen's sea of consciousness.
, to kill Long Chen’s soul.
"Buzz"
Just when the endless air of death filled Long Chen's sea of consciousness, the soul door that had been silent opened, and the Shenguan star in the soul door lit up, like a huge mouth, swallowing up the air of death.
The air of death rushed into the Shenguan Star, and soon Long Chen's body began to regain consciousness, and all the death air in the sea of consciousness had been absorbed by the Shenguan Star.
The black color on Long Chen's body also disappeared quickly. Long Chen opened his eyes and checked his body. It felt like a poisoning and detoxification feeling. The sixth star was not turned on.
"What's going on? Not enough medicine?"
Long Chen swallowed the second Nether Gate Pill. This time, he made seven Nether Gate Pills in one furnace.
Meng Qi felt relieved when she saw that Long Chen had returned to normal after being poisoned. This pill was too scary.
The second time he took the medicine, Long Chen discovered that his body was actually resistant to the poisonous gas of the Hades Gate Pill. At the same time, when the medicine took effect, the Shenguan Star automatically opened. Before it could actively invade the sea of consciousness, he directly destroyed it.
Breathe it into the sea of consciousness and devour it.
This time, it took only two breaths to absorb the efficacy of a Hades Gate Pill.
Long Chen continued to eat pills, the third, the fourth, the fifth. It was not until the fifth Hades Gate Pill was eaten that the stars in Long Chen's Divine Pass trembled slightly and the divine light bloomed.
"Buzz"
Long Chen felt a sudden heat above his dantian, and then the heat disappeared. Long Chen hurriedly checked.
He discovered that a small vortex appeared above his Dantian. However, this vortex was too weak and appeared and disappeared. In the end, he could no longer sense it.
"The Hades Star is actually above my Dantian?" Long Chen was stunned.
You must know that his Dantian is useless. After the spiritual root is taken away, the entire Dantian is a dead place, with only the Chaos Pearl in the center of the Dantian.
Although the Hades Star has not condensed, its position has been determined, but this position makes Long Chen a little unexpected.
Long Chen ate the remaining two top-grade Nether Gate Pills, but there was no movement above his dantian. Long Chen and Meng Qi refined three furnaces of pills in one go, and this time they refined a total of twenty Nether Gate Pills.
When the twenty-five Nether Gate Pills were absorbed by the Shenguan Star, the vortex above Long Chen's Dantian finally stabilized.
"It's over. This Mingmen Star is probably another bottomless pit. I don't know how many Mingmen Pills are needed to condense it into a star.
Even if it succeeds, I don’t know how many years and months it will take to transform into a star. This is too boring." Looking at the small, weak whirlpool, Long Chen was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Are you kidding me? When people get a top-grade Tribulation Pill, they wish they could laugh to death, but here he eats the top-grade Tribulation Pill, and he has to eat it for a long time. How dare he cheat the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique again?
A little?
If this continues, he won't have to do anything at all. He can only make elixirs every day. Then he won't be able to make vomiting blood?
Just when Long Chen's face was ugly and he was worried about the time for refining the alchemy, suddenly a spiritual thought came to Long Chen's mind, making Long Chen's face appear with a look of ecstasy, and he looked at the Melting Moon Star Refining Furnace in disbelief.
