Chapter 500: Chapter 498 Rainbow Transformation (Congratulations to XHL League Master)_1
Three Immortal Mountain.
Qingxu Peak Dongfu.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, entered a password, and opened one after another the silver-white boxes in front of him.
A blast of cold air emerged, innumerable intricate runes flickering uncertainly, together forming layers of constant temperature and defensive prohibitions, guarding the numerous test tubes inside.
"Product of Creation Factory Six, specially supplied goods..."
Fang Xi looked at the label on the test tube and smiled.
In front of him was an oddly shaped pill furnace, with four feet and three ears, fully silver-white, conveying a unique sense of science fiction.
This was the All-Chemical Molecular Synthesis Furnace, or All-Chemistry Furnace for short, crafted by Master Ghost Axe according to his specifications, using the most cutting-edge technology from the Nine States.
"The medicinal raw liquid and the pill furnace are all set..."
Fang Xi stuffed a series of top-grade spirit stones into the bottom of the All-Chemistry Furnace, proficiently activating various permissions and switches.
Soon, a sweet voice rang out, "Master... Tai Yi at your service."
The one here was naturally an ancillary artificial intelligence left by Tai Yi, but its computing power and level of intelligence were quite decent, suitable as an assistant in alchemy, akin to the ancient fire-watching boys...
"Prepare to start, we’re refining pills."
Fang Xi picked up a purple test tube, reciting an incantation under his breath.
The prohibition on the stopper automatically dissipated and a layer of purple mist emerged. Within the mist, it seemed as if a spirit ganoderma was slowly ascending, attempting to escape...
Fang Xi naturally wouldn’t give it the chance, and promptly poured it into the "All-Chemistry Furnace."
’The craftsmanship of Creation Factory Six is still quite good. This "Ten-thousand-year Purple Crystal Mushroom" not only has ample spirituality but even diluted tenfold, it still retains ninety percent of its medicinal effect...’ he thought as he infused a stream of magic power into the All-Chemistry Furnace, making the fire from the burning spirit stones envelop the Purple Crystal Mushroom and slowly refine it, admiring inwardly.
Originally, with the workmanship of Creation Factory Six, even if they fully synthesized the "Splitting Spirit Pill," even producing a stronger "Splitting-Spirit Oral Liquid" wouldn’t be difficult.
But Fang Xi naturally wouldn’t do such a thing.
Even though he was fully cooperating with the Nine States, he still needed to play it safe where necessary.
Keeping the final "Join Pill" step under his control was precisely for this reason.
"Drug properties are ever-changing; if any method was embedded beforehand, no matter how minuscule to the point I couldn’t detect it, the final ’Join Pill’ process would surely fail..."
"On this matter, Dan Dingzi used to have a method called ’Bead Tipping’, a Join Pill technique... He demonstrated it last time, very useful for identifying the various properties of medicines."
Fang Xi’s eyes flashed with insight as he kept adding various precious extracts and powders of spirit medicines...
Meanwhile, Tai Yi’s ancillary AI actively adjusted the flame temperature, gradually refining a mass of multi-colored medicinal liquid within the All-Chemistry Furnace.
Fang Xi realized that Tai Yi was not just a simple fire-watching boy, but rather like having another alchemist assistant!
In the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, alchemists, even when taking disciples, had to guard against them, so an absolutely trustworthy assistant like Tai Yi was exceedingly rare...
With Tai Yi’s help, Fang Xi even took breaks to meditate and recuperate his magic power while refining pills, ensuring he remained in the most complete state of mind for each addition of medicinal materials into the furnace...
After seven days.
"Open!"
Fang Xi’s eyes blazed with a blue-yellow light as he cast a magic spell.
The All-Chemistry Furnace roared as multicolor pills flew out, forming rainbows in mid-air, beautiful, iridescent, and quite spectacular.
"Splitting Spirit Pills?!"
His eyes brightened, such pills were ancient spiritual pills, and even for cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage, they had considerable effects.
Fang Xi had previously brought out the pill recipe and ingredients, even Master Ghost Axe’s eyes reddened a bit...
Inside the Dongfu, above the All-Chemistry Furnace, seven parallel rainbows formed a magnificent sight.
Suddenly, two of the rainbows shone intensely, enveloping the pill, gradually turning ethereal.
"Pills turning into rainbows?!"
Fang Xi witnessed this, a twitch in the corner of his eye, yet he did not intervene to stop it.
Such high-grade spiritual pills, even if they failed during refining, wouldn’t turn into poison or reside but rather transform into rainbow light, dissipating into the heavens and earth... Taken from the heavens and earth, used for the heavens and earth, so it is.
He waited for a moment, then saw two rainbows quiver slightly, the luster dimming in an instant with two colors vanishing, leaving them as five-colored rainbows.
Then, five pills slowly descended, of which three genuine "Splitting Spirit Pills" had a ring of seven-colored patterns on them.
Besides these, there were two with only five colors, considered subpar pills!
"Though they are subpar pills, their effect is actually comparable to that of ’Separation and Union Pills’... If taken out, they would still be the spiritual pills that the old Nascent Soul monsters would pay a fortune for."
Fang Xi exclaimed.
His alchemy skills were still lacking somewhat, many spirit medicines had been wasted.
If such actions were taken in the Nine States, one would sooner or later find themselves on the "Beheading Immortal Stage"!
The Beheading Immortal Stage is a Lingbao of Fang Immortal Taoist Palace, specifically used to deal with criminals who violate laws and commit heinous crimes.
Generally speaking, unless one is above Core Formation, they would not qualify to be executed by the Beheading Immortal Stage...
’But since these are spirit medicines I provided myself, there should be no problem...’
Fang Xi looked at the ’All-Chemistry Furnace’ in front of him, a slight smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth as he immersed himself into his busy work again.
Half a year later...
He looked at the rows of jade bottles in front of him, feeling quite satisfied.
With a flash of silver light, the Heterodox Nascent Soul with a somewhat altered temperament, looking more refined, emerged. After performing the Skill of Assimilation, it took the batch of colorful, substandard ’Splitting-Spirit Pills’ and returned to the Nine States.
It is said that the Fang Immortal Taoist Palace has mastered a supreme alchemy skill, capable of reverting these substandard pills to their original herbal ingredients!
Though the process would inevitably result in some losses, it was still quite remarkable; at least in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, Fang Xi had never even heard of such technology.
’It’s a pity... this technique requires the assistance of a fifth-order Spirit Communicating Treasure from Fang Immortal Taoist Palace, and it involves many cutting-edge technologies and instruments. Even if I learned it, I couldn’t do it...’
’Moreover, it’s only effective for substandard pills, and not very effective for waste pills.’
Fang Xi had already informed the Heterodox Nascent Soul that this batch of substandard pills should be considered gifts for the Endless Treasury Keeper, the Sky Palace Master, and the Heavenly Craft Pavilion Master.
After all, those three late-stage Nascent Souls seemed quite envious of the ’Splitting-Spirit Pills’.
And having received so much help from the Nine States, it was only proper to give something in return, so as not to be impolite.
’The principle of this "returning to the origin" alchemy skill... should it be using a very high understanding of the Void to separate the medicinal properties within the pills?’
After the Heterodox Nascent Soul left, Fang Xi stroked his chin, lost in thought as he mused, "It seems that the rank of the ’Fang Immortal Taoist Palace’ is quite high, and its mastery of the Void Force must far exceed my expectations... Could it be a top-grade or even a supreme treasure of the fifth-order Spirit Communicating Treasures?"
Spirit Communicating Treasures are already extremely rare and scarce, even more so those with Void attributes.
Fang Xi even felt that the Ancient Demon Tribe’s reluctance to leave, apart from contaminating the Nine States, also had a lot to do with their coveting of that Spirit Communicating Treasure!
’Of course... the most crucial thing is probably that even the Door of Sky Demon cannot be taken away or put away...’
The true master of the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ has already been decided; even with a Divine Demon at the Transcendent God Phase, one cannot refine the Door of Sky Demon!
’However, according to the information from Fang Immortal Taoist Master, the Demon Clan has also used a Void supreme treasure of a not insignificant rank to stabilize the ’Door of Sky Demon’! The rank of that treasure might not be less than that of the Fang Immortal Taoist Palace...’
Fang Xi found this to be expected.
With the heritage and accumulation of the Ancient Demon Clan, being able to produce a Void supreme treasure of a Spirit Communicating Treasure’s level was within reason!
’Even...whether it is the Nine States or the Ancient Demon Tribe, neither knows that the Door of Sky Demon is actually just part of ’Treasures of All Heavens’. From the special qualities displayed by the Door of Sky Demon now, it seems to be just a single-purpose fifth-order Spirit Communicating Treasure...’
The Door of Sky Demon can only open small worlds like the Nine States, serving a similar function to descending to a higher realm.
And the ’Fang Immortal Taoist Palace’ can even form its own realm, capable of carrying the population of a world, drifting through the Void to find a suitable world for placement...
In comparison, it’s not much less powerful than the ’Door of Sky Demon’.
It can be said that the true strength of the ’Door of Sky Demon’ lies only in its possession of coordinates of many Everlasting Sand Worlds and the ability to open portals!
’However, even the most ordinary Spirit Communicating Treasure would be enough to provoke envy from many Divine Demons at the Transcendent God Phase. With so many treasures in the Nine States, and the destiny of the tri-clan struggle for supremacy, they couldn’t help but fight desperately...’
Fang Xi sighed.
He glanced at a silver-colored metal box at his side; after opening it, there was a vial of purple liquid inside.
"Spirit Root Optimizing Liquid, cutting-edge laboratory version..."
This was brought to Fang Xi by the Heterodox Nascent Soul.
After reaching an agreement with Fang Immortal Taoist Master, he had already received great support from the Fang Immortal Taoist Palace.
Naturally, he had unrestricted access to this highly confidential research material.
’Spiritual Roots are innate, and to modify them postnatally is not impossible, but extremely difficult!’
’Ordinary Spirit Root Optimizing Liquids, at most, can optimize inferior Spiritual Roots to superior ones; after that, they have no more effects, because the transition from superior to earth grade, and then from earth grade to Heaven Grade, is a transformation of essence!’
’The current highest technology of the Nine States, even with unlimited resource consumption, can only promote Spiritual Roots to the earth grade...’
’This vial of Spirit Root Optimizing Liquid is what the Heterodox Nascent Soul personally prepared after obtaining the resources...’
Looking at this Spirit Root Optimizing Liquid, Fang Xi felt a bit regretful: ’How wonderful would it be if it could elevate to Heaven Grade?’
’Oh well, earth grade is not bad either. In the former Three Kingdoms Cultivation World, that was considered the seedling of a sect leader... with a decent chance of achieving Core Formation.’
’No need to rush to take these Splitting-Spirit Pills. Having superior Spiritual Roots brings many advantages; with improved talents, the efficacy of medicines is also better absorbed.’
At this thought, Fang Xi lightly flicked his finger.
A beam of ’Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light’ shot out, shattering the test tube. The purple liquid suddenly transformed into a mass of Purple Qi, enveloping Fang Xi’s entire body.
He sat quietly within, slowly closing his eyes to begin refining the medicine’s power...
