Left Hand Pointing at the Moon

Chapter 390: First Alchemy, Consuming Medicine for Breakthrough

Drawing these two fate scriptures, Xu Chuan's mood was greatly uplifted.

With this good mood, it was also time to begin breaking through his realm!

Being stuck at the fifth level of the Heavenly King realm for so long was not ideal.

Although his true strength had already surpassed the heavens.

His surface realm was indeed a bit low among the many heavenly prodigies.

Xu Chuan stood up and walked towards Qu Wushang's headless corpse.

He took the storage ring from Qu Wushang's hand and violently broke the restriction on it.

As expected, the Heaven-tier Breakthrough Pill and the ten-thousand-year spirit herb that could aid in cultivation breakthrough were indeed within.

After taking them out, Xu Chuan inspected them. There were no other good items in the storage ring.

This indicated that Qu Wushang was not someone who hoarded possessions.

Xu Chuan casually tossed the ring into his own storage and no longer paid it any mind.

Then, with a single flame, Qu Wushang completely disappeared from this world, leaving behind only a pile of dust that scattered in the wind.

Looking at the Heaven-tier Breakthrough Pill and the ten-thousand-year spirit herb in his hand.

Xu Chuan pondered for a moment and finally put away the Heaven-tier Breakthrough Pill.

With the ten-thousand-year spirit herb at hand, it was enough for him to break through his realm!

Possessing the fate scripture [Master of Pills and Artifacts], coupled with the inheritance from the Divine Medicine Emperor, Xu Chuan recognized at a glance that this ten-thousand-year spirit herb was a spirit herb called Crimson Refining Golden Ginseng, found only in chaos.

This spirit herb was born from absorbing chaotic primordial energy and had the effect of strengthening the inner world and enhancing the Emperor's cultivation.

A complete Crimson Refining Golden Ginseng was far more precious than the Heaven-tier Breakthrough Pill Xu Chuan held.

However, this Crimson Refining Golden Ginseng, having been born in the Void Immortal Realm, could only absorb extremely thin chaotic primordial energy. Furthermore, it was harvested after growing for only ten thousand years, significantly reducing its efficacy.

Only the effect of breaking through realms remained.

"What a pity!"

Xu Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

He possessed an inner world.

He knew very well how precious spirit herbs that could strengthen the inner world were.

But then Xu Chuan thought that this was merely something he had robbed from Qu Wushang, and his mood improved somewhat.

"No more thinking about it, I'll refine this spirit herb into a pill and break through my realm!"

Xu Chuan revitalized himself, muttering under his breath.

He hadn't forgotten that the system had previously prompted him that refining the spirit herb into a pill would yield better results!

Moreover, he also wanted to test how useful this newly acquired fate scripture was.

No sooner said than done.

Xu Chuan summoned the Myriad Spirits Cauldron.

Suddenly, he felt that his understanding of alchemy and artifact refining, which had been almost nonexistent, had made rapid progress.

The inheritances in his mind regarding alchemy and artifact refining became integrated and effortless.

With a wave of his hand, he scooped up the Crimson Refining Golden Ginseng and tossed it into the Myriad Spirits Cauldron.

Xu Chuan then took out many precious spirit herbs from the Ancient Hall world and threw them in as well.

If you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability.

With the assistance of these precious spirit herbs, the Crimson Refining Golden Ginseng's effect could be maximized!

Next, Xu Chuan shook his arms, and the Fusion Fire instantly flew into the Myriad Spirits Cauldron, burning intensely.

It simultaneously exhaled scorching flames and possessed extreme cold.

At a glance, one could tell that this flame was incredibly terrifying.

After a moment, under Xu Chuan's manipulation, the medicinal ingredients in the Myriad Spirits Cauldron began to slowly dissolve into liquid.

Until all the medicinal ingredients fused into liquids of various colors, flowing with radiance, exceptionally beautiful.

Among them, the golden liquid formed by the Crimson Refining Golden Ginseng was the most conspicuous, occupying the central position.

The other auxiliary spirit herbs surrounded it.

Seeing this, Xu Chuan cast a hand seal.

Instantly.

The previously immiscible medicinal liquids began to condense together, forming a multicolored medicinal liquid.

The flames continued to burn.

Finally, this medicinal liquid turned a dark golden color.

Reflected by the flames, it appeared exceptionally dazzling.

Xu Chuan's brow furrowed slightly, a little sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Refining medicine is even more tiring than cultivating!"

Xu Chuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice.

With the system's assistance, his cultivation had been exceptionally smooth and rapid, with virtually no hardship encountered.

However, this refining process made him experience what hardship was like!

Fortunately, the crucial steps were completed.

Next, only the forging and condensing of the pill remained.

Under Xu Chuan's control, the Fusion Fire erupted with surging flames, fiercely scorching the dark golden medicinal liquid.

The Myriad Spirits Cauldron also emitted buzzing sounds.

A wave of medicinal fragrance wafted from within the cauldron, greatly invigorating Xu Chuan.

As time passed, the volume of the dark golden medicinal liquid gradually decreased.

Until the medicinal liquid suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, even surpassing the flames.

Xu Chuan knew that the time was ripe.

"Condense!"

He made a decisive move, casting several hand seals onto the medicinal liquid.

Instantly, the light began to contract.

Soon, it disappeared.

And the medicinal liquid began to form into the shape of pills.

"Pills formed!"

Xu Chuan let out a low roar.

At that moment, the lid of the Myriad Spirits Cauldron opened.

A stream of white mist rose, accompanied by waves of medicinal fragrance.

Immediately after, streams of dark golden light flew out of the cauldron, soaring towards the sky.

"Trying to escape?!"

Xu Chuan roared, then reached out and grabbed. The pills spinning in the sky instantly fell into his hand.

The pill had gained sentience and naturally did not wish to fall into someone's mouth.

From the moment of its birth, it began to flee.

But how could a few pills escape Xu Chuan's grasp?

Xu Chuan held a total of nine pills in his hand.

Nine is the ultimate number. That Xu Chuan could refine nine perfect pills on his first attempt demonstrated the power of [Master of Pills and Artifacts].

These pills were the size of dragon's eyes, dark golden all over, with intricate patterns layered upon each other, making them incredibly striking.

Xu Chuan could feel that by taking just two or three of these pills, he could break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly King realm!

Moreover, the effect of these pills was excellent, and there was no need to worry about the side effect of a shaky foundation due to rapid breakthrough.

This alone made Xu Chuan extremely satisfied.

A smile appeared on his face, and he laughed heartily, "Excellent, worthy of the pills I refined, their effect is superb!"

Xu Chuan was already eager to try the effect of the pills.

However, it was better to share joy than to enjoy it alone.

Xu Chuan had not forgotten Ning Youci and Cui Jiang.

He hadn't released them before for their safety.

Now, there was no need to worry.

"Senior Brother Xu, are you alright?"

"Your Highness, where is the enemy?"

As soon as they appeared, Ning Youci and Cui Jiang asked eagerly.

They were afraid Xu Chuan might have been harmed.

"I'm fine, there's no longer any danger. We've come out of the illusion."

Xu Chuan shook his head, offering no further explanation.

"Each of you will receive a pill. After taking it, you can break through your realm."

Saying this, Xu Chuan divided two pills for them, signaling them to consume them.

There were nine pills, and Xu Chuan couldn't use so many.

Once he reached the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly King realm, these pills would lose their effect on him.

It was better to give them to those close to him to enhance their strength.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"Many thanks, Your Highness!"

The two thanked him, not harboring any doubts.

Xu Chuan would not harm them.

The two of them swallowed the pills together.

Seeing this, Xu Chuan also swallowed three pills in one go.
