Chapter 499: Iridescent Dissipation (For Go XHL Alliance Master)
Three Immortals Sect.
Azure Void Peak Cave Abode.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, entering the password to open the silver-white boxes before him.
A chill emerged, countless intricate talismans flickering on and off, collectively forming an array of constant temperature and defensive restrictions, protecting the test tubes within.
"Produced by Good Fortune Factory No. 6, special supply. . ."
Fang Xi smiled as he gazed at the labels on the test tubes.
Before him also stood an alchemical furnace of extremely peculiar design: four legs, three ears, entirely silver-white, radiating a strange, sci-fi aesthetic.
This was an alchemy furnace, named the 'Myriad Transformations Molecular Synthesis Furnace', or 'Myriad Transformation Furnace' for short, crafted by Gui Axe Zhenjun according to his requirements, using the cutting-edge technology of the Kyushu World.
Fang Xi inserted superior-grade Spirit Stones into the bottom of the Myriad Transformation Furnace, expertly activating its various permissions and switches.
Soon, a sweet voice rang out: "Master. . . Taiyi is at your service."
This was, naturally, a subordinate AI left behind by Taiyi, but its computing power and intelligence were quite good, capable of serving as an alchemy assistant, much like a fire-tending boy in ancient times. . .
"Prepare yourselves. The furnace is opening for alchemy."
Fang Xi picked up a purple test tube and chanted an incantation.
A layer of restriction on the stopper automatically dissipated, giving rise to a purple iridescent glow. Within the glow, a spirit ganoderma seemed to slowly rise, attempting to escape. . .
Fang Xi, of course, wouldn't give it that chance, pouring it directly into the 'Myriad Transformation Furnace'.
"Good Fortune Factory No. 6's craftsmanship is quite good. This 'Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Crystal Ganoderma' is not only incredibly spiritual, but even after being diluted ten-fold, it still retains ninety percent of its medicinal efficacy. . ."
He sent a stream of magical power into the 'Myriad Transformation Furnace', causing the flames ignited by the Spirit Stones to envelop the purple crystal, slowly refining it. He couldn't help but inwardly praise its quality.
Originally, with Good Fortune Factory No. 6's expertise, it wouldn't have been difficult to fully refine the 'Division Spirit Pill' or even introduce a more potent 'Division Spirit Oral Solution'.
But Fang Xi would naturally not allow that.
Even though he had fully cooperated with the Kyushu World, he still had to maintain some precautions.
Keeping the final 'pill condensation' step in his own hands was precisely for this reason.
"The medicinal properties are ever-changing. If even a tiny bit of a trick had been embedded beforehand, something so subtle that I couldn't detect it, the final 'pill conjoining' process would inevitably fail. . ."
"In this regard, Dan Dingzi also has a 'Pearl-Doting Method', which is a pill-conjoining technique. . . He demonstrated it last time, and it's extremely useful for discerning various medicinal properties."
Fang Xi's eyes flashed with brilliant light as he continuously added various precious spiritual herbs' extracted medicinal liquids or powders. . .
During this process, Taiyi's subordinate AI also actively adjusted the flame temperature, gradually refining a multi-colored medicinal liquid within the Myriad Transformation Furnace.
Fang Xi realized that Taiyi's use was not merely that of a fire-tending boy; it was practically like having an additional alchemy master as a helper!
In the Southern Desolate Cultivation World, even an alchemist would guard against their own apprentice. A completely trustworthy assistant like Taiyi was absolutely rare. . .
With Taiyi's assistance, Fang Xi even managed to take breaks during alchemy to meditate and recover his magical power, maintaining his most optimal mental state for every ingredient entering the furnace. . .
Seven days later.
"Open!"
Fang Xi's eyes burst forth with azure and yellow light, and he unleashed a spell incantation.
The Myriad Transformation Furnace roared, and multi-colored pills flew out, transforming into iridescent rainbows in mid-air, shimmering with vibrant hues—a truly beautiful sight.
"Division Spirit Pills? !"
His eyes shone brightly. Such pills were ancient spiritual elixirs, effective even for late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
When Fang Xi had previously presented the pill formula and raw materials, even Gui Axe Zhenjun's eyes had turned a little red with desire. . .
Inside the cave abode, above the Myriad Transformation Furnace, seven rainbows stood side by side, forming a magnificent spectacle.
Then, two of the rainbows suddenly shone brilliantly, enveloping the pills within, gradually becoming illusory.
"Pill rainbow transformation? !"
Upon seeing this, Fang Xi's eyelids twitched slightly, but he did not intervene to stop it.
Even if such high-grade spiritual pills were ruined during refinement, they wouldn't turn into pill toxins or dregs. Instead, they would transform into rainbow light and dissipate into the heavens and earth. . . It was simply a matter of "taken from heaven and earth, returned to heaven and earth."
He waited for a moment, then saw two more rainbows tremble slightly, their colors instantly dimming considerably. Even two of their original colors vanished, leaving only a five-colored rainbow.
Following this, five pills slowly floated down. Three of them were genuine 'Division Spirit Pills', each bearing a circle of seven-colored pill patterns.
In addition, there were two pills with only five-colored pill patterns, which were considered substandard pills!
"Though they're substandard, their efficacy is actually comparable to a 'Conjoining-Severing Pill'. . . If sold, they would still be highly sought-after spiritual elixirs that even Nascent Soul old monsters would pay a fortune for."
Fang Xi sighed with emotion.
His alchemy skills were still somewhat lacking, and a considerable amount of spiritual herbs had been wasted. If such actions occurred in the Kyushu World, he would sooner or later end up on the 'Immortal Execution Platform'!
The Immortal Execution Platform was a Numinous Treasure of the Fang Xian Dao Palace, specifically used to execute cultivators who committed crimes or were truly heinous. Generally speaking, one wouldn't even qualify for execution on the 'Immortal Execution Platform' unless they were at least at the Core Formation stage. . .
"However, since I provided the spiritual herbs myself, there's no issue. . ."
Fang Xi gazed at the 'Myriad Transformation Furnace' before him, a slight curve to his lips, and then became busy once more.
Half a year later. . .
He looked at the rows of jade bottles before him, feeling rather satisfied.
With a flash of silver light, the Second Primordial Spirit, whose aura had subtly changed, appearing more refined and scholarly, emerged. After applying the assimilation technique, it departed for the Kyushu World, taking that batch of five-colored substandard 'Division Spirit Pills' with it.
It was rumored that the Fang Xian Dao Palace possessed a supreme alchemy technique capable of reversing the process of these substandard pills, separating their original medicinal components!
Although there would inevitably be some loss in this process, it was still quite impressive. At the very least, Fang Xi had never heard of such a technique in the Southern Desolate Cultivation World.
"Unfortunately. . . this technique requires a fifth-grade Numinous Treasure – the assistance of the Fang Xian Dao Palace – and involves many cutting-edge technologies and instruments. Even if I learned it, I couldn't perform it. . ."
"Moreover, it's only effective for substandard pills; it has little effect on completely ruined pills."
Fang Xi had already informed his Second Primordial Spirit that this batch of substandard pills was to be given as gifts to the Endless Treasury Lord, the Sky-Void Palace Lord, and the Heavenly Works Pavilion Master.
After all, those three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators seemed quite envious of the 'Division Spirit Pill'.
And having received so much help from the Kyushu World, it was only proper to reciprocate their kindness, so as not to seem impolite.
"The principle behind this 'Revert-to-Source' alchemy technique. . . should be to utilize extremely high attainments in void laws to separate the medicinal properties within the pills?"
After the Second Primordial Spirit left, Fang Xi stroked his chin, pondering thoughtfully: "If so, that 'Fang Xian Dao Palace' must be of a remarkably high grade, and its mastery over void power far exceeds my expectations. . . Could it be a superior-grade or even peak fifth-grade Numinous Treasure?"
Numinous Treasures were already extremely rare, and void-attributed Numinous Treasures even more so.
Fang Xi even felt that the reason the Ancient Demon Race stubbornly lingered, besides polluting the Kyushu World, was largely due to their covetousness of that Numinous Treasure!
"Of course. . . the most crucial reason is probably that the Heavenly Demon Gate cannot be put away or taken away. . ."
The true owner of the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror' had already been decided. Even the Soul Transformation stage Demon Venerables there couldn't refine the Heavenly Demon Gate!
"However, according to the intelligence provided by the Fang Xian Dao Master, the demon race also deployed a void supreme treasure of quite high grade to anchor the 'Heavenly Demon Gate'! The grade of that supreme treasure might not be inferior to the Fang Xian Dao Palace. . ."
Fang Xi found this to be only natural.
With the Ancient Demon Race's profound heritage and accumulation, it was reasonable for them to possess such a void supreme treasure of Numinous Treasure grade!
"And. . . neither the Kyushu World nor the Ancient Demon Race knows that the Heavenly Demon Gate is actually just a part of the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror'. With the unique properties the Heavenly Demon Gate has displayed so far, it's probably just a single-purpose fifth-grade Numinous Treasure. . ."
The Heavenly Demon Gate could only open to minor worlds like the Kyushu World, essentially serving a 'Realm Descent' effect.
While the 'Fang Xian Dao Palace' could even form its own world, carrying a world's population for a 'Great Void Drifting' and then searching for suitable worlds to settle. . . Compared to the 'Heavenly Demon Gate', it wasn't much worse.
One could say that the true power of the 'Heavenly Demon Gate' lay only in possessing the coordinates of countless worlds and being able to open gates to them!
"However, even the most ordinary Numinous Treasure is enough to draw the covetous gaze of numerous Soul Transformation Demon Venerables. With so many treasures in the Kyushu World, and the destiny of conflict between the three races, they have no choice but to fight desperately. . ."
Fang Xi sighed with emotion.
He looked at a silver-white metal box beside his hand. Opening it, he found a tube of purple medicinal solution inside.
"Spirit Root Optimization Fluid, cutting-edge laboratory version. . ."
This was brought to Fang Xi by his Second Primordial Spirit.
After establishing the three-chapter agreement with the Fang Xian Dao Master, he had gained strong support from the Fang Xian Dao Palace.
Naturally, he could freely access this part of the top-secret research data.
"Spirit roots are formed naturally. It's not impossible to modify them later, but it's extremely difficult!"
"Ordinary Spirit Root Optimization Fluid can, at most, optimize a low-grade spirit root to a superior-grade, and then it becomes completely ineffective. This is because the leap from superior-grade spirit root to Earth-grade spirit root, and then from Earth-grade spirit root to Heaven-grade spirit root, are qualitative transformations!"
"The current peak technology of the Kyushu World, even with unlimited resource expenditure, can at most raise a spirit root to the Earth-grade stage. . ."
"This tube of Spirit Root Optimization Fluid was personally concocted by the Second Primordial Spirit after obtaining the resources. . ."
Fang Xi looked at the Spirit Root Optimization Fluid with a slight hint of regret: "How wonderful would it be if it could be elevated to a Heaven-grade spirit root?"
"Alas, Earth-grade is also good. In the past Three Kingdoms Cultivation World, it would have been a 'Sect Master Seed'. . . with a certain hope of achieving Core Formation."
"I won't rush to take these Division Spirit Pills. The advantages brought by superior spirit roots are manifold. With improved aptitude, the medicinal effects will also be absorbed better."
With this thought, Fang Xi lightly flicked his finger.
A streak of 'Grand Unity Azure Wood Divine Light' flew out, shattering the test tube. The purple medicinal liquid suddenly transformed into a cloud of purple mist, enveloping Fang Xi's entire body.
He sat quietly within, slowly closing his eyes, and began to refine the medicinal power. . .
