Chapter 1648: Chapter 1338: King Guangren’s Envoy Has Arrived!
Lu Zhengze was not very interested in the other cultivation resources sent by Lu Jing; what intrigued him the most were those herbs. Lu Chen had mentioned to him not long ago that these herbs were to be used for refining a pill that could help people break through realms.
With those herbs, their king would be able to refine a pill similar to the Heavenly Grade Breaking Realm Pill, and both he and his wife might be able to ascend to a higher realm.
Thinking about this filled Lu Zhengze with great joy.
Seeing Lu Zhengze so excited, Lu Chen spoke: "Hand those herbs to me; I will refine the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pills."
Lu Zhengze excitedly responded, "Yes, my king!"
He then handed the space ring containing the herbs to Lu Chen.
After taking the space ring from Lu Zhengze, Lu Chen glanced at the herbs inside. There weren’t many, falling short of the number on his list, but Lu Jing had sent some other herbs along with them.
Clearly, the herbs needed to refine the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill were quite rare, and given Lu Jing’s identity, it wasn’t possible to acquire such a large quantity.
However, the herbs in the space ring were enough to refine a hundred Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pills without much issue.
Lu Chen then told Lu Zhengze, "Don’t disturb me when I’m refining pills, unless there’s something very important."
Lu Zhengze respectfully replied, "Yes, my king."
"If there’s nothing else you require, I shall take my leave."
Lu Chen replied with a nod, and Lu Zhengze soon left the grand hall.
Lu Chen went to his chamber, took an alchemy furnace out of the space ring, and then retrieved several herbs needed for the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pills.
As it was his first time refining a Heavenly Grade Elixir, even with the inherited memory of refining them, he decided to proceed with caution and refine a few trial pills first. If there were no major issues, he would then begin the formal refinement.
Lu Chen then manipulated the herbs into the alchemy furnace, covered it, and began refining using the Qionghua Biluo Flame.
The process of alchemy was slow, and Lu Chen could clearly sense some active ingredients in the herbs gradually separating out. These active ingredients began to slowly merge after being heated by the Qionghua Biluo Flame, undergoing a series of reactions and eventually coalescing into pills.
With his earthly knowledge, Lu Chen felt that alchemy was akin to purifying certain chemical substances, then merging them together and using fire to heat them, inducing reactions to form new chemical substances.
With this understanding, Lu Chen refined pills more skillfully, encountering almost no difficulty. The only challenge was purifying certain substances, which tested one’s abilities.
However, with his Heavenly Grade Alchemist’s pill-refining skill, these were minor issues. Before long, the pills had formed within the alchemy furnace.
Sensing the pills’ formation, Lu Chen used Immortal Aura to open the lid of the alchemy furnace, and four Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pills flew out.
The Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pills emitted a green glow, rich with life force. Lu Chen mused, no wonder these pills could save lives; they were indeed saturated with life force.
With this life force, even if a breakthrough failed, it could still help immortals recover.
The trial refinement was very successful; Lu Chen then formally began alchemy but, to be cautious, divided the process into several rounds.
After refining all the herbs into Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pills, Lu Chen communicated to Lu Zhengze, "General Lu, come to me for a moment."
Hearing Lu Chen’s voice, Lu Zhengze was momentarily stunned. He had intended to go to Purple Moon City to share the good news with his wife, but before he could reach her, their king summoned him.
He was puzzled, as the king had said he would be refining pills. How could he have finished so quickly?
Generally, when a Heavenly Grade Alchemist refines a Heavenly Grade Elixir, it consumes a great deal of time, especially with some of the more special herbs.
Although Lu Zhengze had never heard of the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill, he understood from Lu Chen’s description of its effects that it must be quite extraordinary and thus difficult to refine. It shouldn’t be done in a short time.
Lu Zhengze quickly arrived at Lu Chen’s chamber. Entering the grand hall, he saw the alchemy furnace placed in the middle.
Lu Chen stood beside the alchemy furnace, holding a pill emitting a green glow. Upon seeing the pill, Lu Zhengze was slightly surprised and thought, could this be the Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pill?
However, he immediately dismissed the notion. How could it be refined so quickly? It must not be it.
Lu Zhengze then asked, "My king, is there anything else you’d like to instruct?"
Lu Chen handed two Myriad Phenomena Life Spirit Pills to Lu Zhengze using Immortal Aura, "The pills are ready. You and Xiaoshuang can each take one to try for a breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengze was momentarily stunned.
So soon?
Is their king really just a Heavenly Grade Alchemist?
Lu Zhengze couldn’t help but doubt whether these pills were directly made by Lu Chen.
Composed again, Lu Zhengze knelt in gratitude, "Thank you, my king, for the gift!"
If one could choose life over death, surely they would; these two pills were life-altering. Naturally, Lu Zhengze felt extremely excited.
Lu Chen said, "Alright, go give a pill to Xiaoshuang. You two have served loyally beside me for billions of years in White Feather City. This pill is my reward to you both."
"I hope you both can break through."
Lu Zhengze declared, "I will not fail your expectations, my king!"
Lu Chen continued, "You should first settle matters in the Land of Chaos. From now on, I’ll temporarily manage it; you and Xiaoshuang can leave for a suitable place to cultivate in seclusion, aiming for the True Immortal Realm."
The Land of Chaos lacked Immortal Aura, making it the worst place for breakthrough attempts. Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang would usually leave the Land of Chaos to find places rich in Immortal Aura when they needed to advance and only return to White Feather City after succeeding.
Now, aiming for the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they needed to absorb immense Immortal Aura, something unattainable in the Land of Chaos.
Lu Zhengze declared, "Yes, my king, I will make the arrangements immediately."
With that said, Lu Zhengze turned and left Lu Chen’s chamber.
Lu Zhengze hadn’t gone far before quickly returning, wearing a look of anxiety on his face.
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Why did you come back so soon?"
Lu Zhengze hurriedly explained, "My king, the... the Ren Prince sent an envoy!!!"
