Chapter 5090 Refining the Nirvanic Charge Pill
When Long Chen arrived at the Fusang Tree area, he saw eighteen Fusang Trees with eighteen giant Golden Crows flying around them.
In less than three days, the eighteen Three-Foot Golden Crows had grown to a size of three hundred meters. Their feathers looked like they were made of gold, and when they spread their wings, they resembled ancient divine birds.
These Golden Crows were far more beautiful than the true Golden Crows Long Chen had slain. While still in the midst of growing, their flame energy was incomparably pure. Golden sand seemed to fall from their wings with each flap, creating a stunning scene.
The eighteen Golden Crows had formed a flame formation, with Huo Linger at its heart, forming hand seals. A divine ring was present behind her, containing a giant Golden Crow Totem. Countless runes flowed within this totem and entered Huo Linger’s body.
Long Chen knew that Huo Linger was in the midst of comprehending the Golden Crow race’s secret arts. She had mentioned that as long as these Golden Crows grew up, she would be able to access their divine abilities. Soon, the Golden Crow race’s divine abilities would be hers.
Long Chen watched for a bit, brimming with the feeling of gratification. Huo Linger and Lei Linger had grown alongside him, and now they had truly matured. Furthermore, their future power was inestimable. They might even surpass him.
Huo Linger was mastering the Golden Crow race’s divine abilities, Lei Linger was devouring heavenly tribulation lightning, and Yao Linger was diligently adapting to her new body. Even the black soil was working hard on devouring those three dragon corpses. Seeing this, Long Chen felt like he was slacking the most.
As he was about to leave the primal chaos space, the Earth Cauldron suddenly appeared.
“Yao Linger is pretty much set. She’s digesting what I taught her and can control the Demon Moon Cauldron now. You shouldn’t be idle. Let’s refine some Nirvanic Charge Pills with me. Consider it an early lesson.”
Long Chen raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you say I wasn’t ready to refine them yet?”
“I said you can’t use them yet, not that you can’t refine them,” replied the Earth Cauldron.
Not giving Long Chen any chance to argue, the Earth Cauldron directly took out the ingredients for the Nirvanic Charge Pill. It seemed that the Earth Caudron was in an even bigger rush than Long Chen was—all the medicinal ingredients had been refined into powders. Since the first step of the refinement was already complete, he just needed to refine the powders into pills.
“The Nirvanic Charge Pill is different from other pills. You cannot use an ordinary flame to refine it,” instructed the Earth Cauldron.
“Do I have to use a Heavenly Flame?” asked Long Chen.
“Even a Heavenly Flame is no good. In the entire heavens, only those from the nine star line can refine the Nirvanic Charge Pill. Even Lord Brahma cannot violate this law,” replied the Earth Cauldron.
“What? But I thought the nine star line was the world’s strongest warriors? I’ve never heard of them being adept at refining pills,” said Long Chen.
“The nine star line is mostly composed of warriors, but they also have branches. One branch specifically refined pills for the nine star line. Furthermore, the leader of that branch and Lord Brahma... Well, it’s not important. It’s meaningless. You just need to know that the Nirvanic Charge Pill must be refined with astral flame,” said the Earth Cauldron.
Dang it! Either don’t say it, or say the whole thing!
Long Chen hated it when others started saying something and then stopped midway, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
“What is an astral flame?” asked Long Chen.
“Your starry sea has violet qi within it. Condense the qi into flame and ignite your astral energy. You should use your Sun Flame as the seed to ignite it. Try it!” instructed the Earth Cauldron. It then transmitted a method Long Chen had never even heard of.
BOOM!
When Long Chen tried this method, his starry sea quivered intensely. Countless stars flared and erupted like volcanoes, losing their balance instantly, making Long Chen jump.
“You fool, I told you to ignite them, not make them explode!” shouted the Earth Cauldron, hastily helping him suppress it.
It took a while to calm down the starry sea. During this time, Long Chen was pale, having not expected the stars to go out of control.
With that experience, Long Chen tried again, but he wasn’t too hasty this time. Violet qi floated out of his starry sea, and he used the Sun Flame to ignite it, causing a violet flame sea to manifest on top of the starry sea. These flames flowed with the starry sea, rising and falling constantly. It was vast, but not violent.
Seeing this, Long Chen sighed with relief. In truth, with his control over astral energy, this was extremely simple. The Earth Cauldron had anticipated this, which was why it hadn’t gone into extensive detail, assuming Long Chen could handle it. However, Long Chen had underestimated it and overlooked some crucial details, nearly causing a major issue.
Fortunately, that moment passed. With his violet qi ignited, Long Chen quickly mastered the control of the flame. Since the flame was controlled by astral energy, the Earth Cauldron referred to it as astral flame.
However, this flame could only be used for pill refinement and not for attacks. It was challenging to control. If it flared up uncontrollably, it risked causing his starry sea to explode, and he would be caught in the blast.
After some testing, the Earth Cauldron confirmed that Long Chen had truly mastered the astral flame. They then proceeded to refine the pill.
When the first medicinal powder entered the cauldron, specks of starlight appeared on it—an awe-inspiring sight that Long Chen had never encountered in all his years of alchemy.
“There’s nothing to be surprised about,” said the Earth Cauldron. “This astral flame contains your astral energy, and the medicinal ingredients have grown up absorbing the energy of the sun, moon, and stars. Naturally, there is a resonance. Your astral flame doesn’t just extract the medicinal essence; it also activates the astral energy these ingredients have absorbed. This is essential for refining the Nirvanic Charge Pill, which is why only the nine star line can refine it.”
As more medicinal ingredients were added to the cauldron, the astral flame refined them. Some ingredients quickly transformed into a sticky liquid that congealed into a sphere, dancing around inside the cauldron.
While some ingredients formed a single sphere, some fragmented into dozens of spheres. The Earth Cauldron explained that the difference in the number of spheres was due to varying amounts of essence each ingredient had absorbed from the celestial bodies.
Some ingredients had different kinds of energy within them. After they were refined, they naturally repulsed each other, forming independent bodies.
As more ingredients were added, the cauldron was filled with a continuous stream of explosive sounds as tens of thousands of droplets clashed.
When the final ingredient was introduced, those medicinal essences instantly went still. After a moment of calm, Long Chen saw an astral diagram appear on each droplet. Following this, their auras erupted with a brilliant intensity.
