Above the East Sea, vast stretches of azure waves stretched out, white clouds drifting across the sky.
Luo Chen stood in mid-air, nine-colored divine flames dancing beneath his feet, and a Divine Farmer Immortal Cauldron glimmering brightly in front of him.
Alchemy was an extremely delicate art. Choosing this location was ideal, firstly to prevent the residual power of the nine-colored divine flames from causing disaster, and secondly, the quietness of the vast sea offered minimal interference.
“Hum!”
The void rippled, and a dimensional gate opened.
Yun Zhi stepped out, her calm eyes gazing down at the sea, then she instantly summoned her Dou Qi to form wings, soaring into the air.
“I am Yan Ran's teacher, Yun Zhi.”
“Luo Chen.”
They exchanged names.
Meeting one of the most popular female leads from the World of Strange Fire, a touch of color flickered in Luo Chen's eyes.
Yun Zhi had a tall figure, clad in a luxurious and elegant azure blue dress.
The hem of the skirt was split, revealing glimpses of snow-white skin, her legs were straight and long, and the gems embedded on her battle boots gleamed. The plain trousers hugged her skin, revealing her curves.
Her bosom rose high, the collar of her dress remained closed, revealing the edge of her shimmering inner armor.
“Yan Ran is a bit spoiled, I owe you a debt of gratitude for taking care of her in the chat group.”
A faint smile appeared in Yun Zhi's eyes as she spoke politely.
Her gaze also secretly appraised Luo Chen.
He looked exactly the same as he did in the livestream, but now standing before her in person, the Xian Ling Qi emanating from him was even more alluring, making her want to get closer.
But at the same time, clad in his purple Daoist robe, his cultivation was unfathomable, giving off an invisible sense of pressure.
Throughout the entire Gamma Empire, Yun Zhi had countless suitors, but they were either all good-looking but useless, or like Gu He, while he had some real skills, he would become obsequious whenever he saw her, leaving her at a loss for how to interact with him.
Luo Chen, standing before her, gave off a contradictory yet special feeling…
No, what am I thinking?
This isn’t a blind date!
Yun Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a blush creep up her cheeks.
She was only here to help someone refine pills, why was her head filled with thoughts about compatibility and love?
It was all Yan Ran's fault, that little girl was always matchmaking, subconsciously making her start thinking about these things.
“Yun Zongzhu is too kind, thank you for coming to help me refine pills.”
Luo Chen expressed his gratitude.
Then, with a flick of his finger, 49 medicinal herbs appeared out of thin air, floating before him.
“Go!”
He drew a wisp of the nine-colored divine flame into the Divine Farmer Immortal Cauldron, the intense heat immediately burned the cauldron red-hot and glowing, with a faint hint of Xian Yun circulating within it.
This was the special quality of the pill cauldron. With this Immortal Cauldron, Luo Chen's alchemy efficiency, success rate, and quality of pills would all be significantly enhanced.
Yun Zhi watched intently, secretly amazed.
This Immortal Cauldron… seemed different from the one she saw in the livestream!
The overall shape was similar, but many details had changed, it must have been upgraded.
Even before he started refining pills, Luo Chen's pill cauldron was already miles ahead of Gu He's.
“Yun Zongzhu, this is my first time refining pills, I’m not yet proficient, I need to go through the process myself, then we’ll see where I need your help.”
Luo Chen explained.
Then, he began the formal alchemy process.
Yun Zhi nodded, afraid to make a sound and interrupt.
“Rise!”
As Luo Chen commanded, his primordial spirit emerged from his forehead, an invisible force surged out, enveloping the nine-colored divine flame, then he separated it into 49 wisps of flames, wrapping each of the 49 medicinal herbs, melting them…
Such strong spiritual power!
Yun Zhi was shocked.
The core ability of alchemists in the World of Strange Fire was their spiritual power.
Only those with strong spiritual power could precisely control the heat, refining the impurities out of the medicinal herbs while extracting their medicinal effects without any loss. This ability was like taking chestnuts from a fire, as difficult as it could be!
Even Dan Wang Gu He would make mistakes each time he opened the cauldron, this was normal for alchemists.
But Luo Chen… he was melting the herbs and extracting the essence at lightning speed.
Then, the various essences of the medicinal herbs fused together, forming a crimson pool of alluring liquid.
Luo Chen's fingers danced, like invisible blades, cutting the liquid into thirty portions, then he used his spiritual power to mold them into pills.
The entire process was flawless!
“Clang!”
The lid of the cauldron closed, the divine flames continued to refine.
Soon, the fragrance of pills wafted out.
“Fourth-grade Spirit Pills?”
As the head of a sect, Yun Zhi had a sharp eye and could judge the grade of the pills just by their scent.
The corner of Luo Chen's lips curled up, he didn't speak, but secretly pointed a finger.
【You have transformed the fourth-grade Nourishing Spirit Pill into a sixth-grade Xuan Shen Pill】
The fragrance of the pills subtly transformed, invisible spiritual energy rippled like water waves.
“No… it’s a sixth-grade Spirit Pill?!”
Yun Zhi furrowed her brows, after a moment of contemplation, she reassessed the quality of the pills.
Sixth-grade Spirit Pills were the highest grade that Gamma Empire’s top alchemist, Gu He, could refine, but his success rate was not high, he could usually only refine 5-6 pills for every 10 times he refined, and he could only refine one pill each time!
But Luo Chen had refined thirty pills at once!
The difference was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
“Open!”
Luo Chen raised his hand and gently flicked the air, the Divine Farmer Cauldron opened, and the thirty identical Spirit Pills flew out, suspended in mid-air.
“What beautiful and smooth Spirit Pills, each one has three layers of pill patterns, this sixth-grade Spirit Pill has reached the peak of quality!”
Yun Zhi exclaimed in admiration, then she gave a playful smile: “Luo Gongzi, you are playing tricks on me, right? This doesn’t look like something a first-time alchemist could do.”
“It truly is my first time, you can’t believe me if you don’t want to.”
Luo Chen chuckled: “However, I was originally going to refine the fourth-grade Nourishing Spirit Pill, I didn’t expect to refine the sixth-grade Xuan Shen Pill.”
Nourishing Spirit Pill?
Xuan Shen Pill?
Yun Zhi's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity.
She had never heard of these two pill names.
Luo Chen raised his hand and pointed, two Xuan Shen Pills flew towards Yun Zhi: “Yun Zongzhu, try them while they are hot, no need to be polite.”
Try them while they are hot?
These are sixth-grade Spirit Pills!
Why does it sound like trying a dish…
Yun Zhi wanted to decline, but she saw Luo Chen take two pills himself and swallowed them, then he gave a comment: “Not bad.”
Seeing this, Yun Zhi didn't hesitate anymore and took one pill, she put the other one away.
The pill entered her mouth, like a warm current, it didn't pass through her throat and enter her stomach, but transformed into a refreshing sensation that surged into her mind, strengthening her soul!
“This… This Xuan Shen Pill can strengthen the soul?”
Yun Zhi was stunned, there were no methods at all in the entire World of Strange Fire to improve spiritual power, and now, a pill that Luo Chen casually refined had strengthened her soul, her spiritual power had increased by several points!
“Yes.”
Luo Chen nodded lightly: “It can be used repeatedly, but it can only strengthen the soul to the Primordial Spirit level at most. As for me, I have already refined my Primordial Spirit, so it has little effect on me.”
Strengthened to the Primordial Spirit level?!
Yun Zhi had seen Luo Chen's Primordial Spirit leave his body and devour the remnant soul of the Flame Demon.
She was certain that such a powerful Primordial Spirit could survive even if the physical body was destroyed.
Yun Zhi touched the Xuan Shen Pill she had kept, suddenly she felt this tiny pill was very heavy.
“Refining the Xuan Shen Pill requires more than 30 different medicinal herbs, 49 in total, and it can yield 30 pills. With my current supply of medicinal herbs, I can refine 1000 Xuan Shen Pills.”
Luo Chen silently calculated, and simultaneously uploaded a Xuan Shen Pill to the Points Mall.
