Volume 8: Peak of the Star Domain Chapter 1081: Substituting one thing for another!
Originally, Tang Wu was chatting with Cai Siyuan, but at this time Cai Siyuan's whole mind was paying attention to the movements in the Star Lord's Palace. Tang Wu did not bother himself anymore, but just kept company quietly, occasionally refilling Cai Siyuan's tea from a distance.
As Cai Siyuan expected, half a day passed again before the Star Lord Palace stopped absorbing the power of heaven and earth.
Sensing that the absorption of spiritual energy had stopped, Cai Siyuan's expression suddenly showed a stronger sense of anticipation, but he also pricked up his ears nervously, waiting for the leader of the Bai tribe to call him into the Star Lord's Palace.
Although he knew that the duration of absorbing spiritual energy this time was much longer than the previous two times, it did not mean that the refining was successful. There was still a possibility of refining failure.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng, who was in the Star Lord's Palace, took out another blood-red pill from the furnace. This pill was obviously rounder and brighter than the previous one. It was obvious that its quality was higher than the previous one.
Because there was not a trace of instability during the refining process this time, the Atavism Pill was successfully refined in one go.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised. He immediately put the last Atavism Pill he had refined into an alchemy bottle, and then suddenly threw the first Atavism Pill into the alchemy furnace.
It was not until a moment later that Li Xuanfeng opened the formation of the Star Lord Palace and sent a message to Cai Siyuan: "Fellow Daoist Cai, come in."
As the Star Lord's Palace opened, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance spread rapidly, allowing Cai Siyuan and the Bai monks to immediately smell the medicinal fragrance.
Cai Siyuan, who was originally waiting nervously, suddenly smiled and immediately stood up and entered the Star Lord's Palace.
Just now, he saw that the absorption of the power of heaven and earth stopped for a moment, and the leader of the Bai tribe still did not open the formation. Cai Siyuan's worry reached its peak, thinking that the refining had failed again.
After hearing Li Xuanfeng's voice transmission and smelling the fragrant aroma of medicine, Cai Siyuan was completely sure that the refining was successful.
After entering the Star Lord's Palace, Cai Siyuan immediately saw the alchemy furnace in front of Li Xuanfeng that was constantly emitting medicinal fragrance, and there was a large pile of residue next to the furnace.
Cai Siyuan looked at the pile of residue a few more times, carefully feeling the scent emanating from it.
While observing, Cai Siyuan had already come to the front of Li Xuanfeng. He smiled, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Brother Bai is indeed worthy of his reputation. I really admire him. Thank you!"
Li Xuanfeng slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, shook his head and smiled, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
As he spoke, Li Xuanfeng raised his hand and slapped the air. The lid of the alchemy furnace was immediately opened, and a blood-red pill flew out.
Li Xuanfeng took the pill in front of him through the air, observed it carefully for a while before handing it to Cai Siyuan, who immediately took it carefully.
Feeling the warmth emanating from the pill, Cai Siyuan sensed the scent slightly and immediately took out an exquisite pill bottle and put it in.
After putting away the pills, Cai Siyuan took out a storage ring and handed it to Li Xuanfeng, smiling and saying, "This is 50,000 source crystals. Thank you, Brother Bai, for your help."
Li Xuanfeng took the storage ring and said with a smile: "This is what Bai should do, and Fellow Daoist Cai gave such a generous reward, so Bai will naturally do his best."
Afterwards, Cai Siyuan exchanged greetings with Li Xuanfeng for a while, mainly praising Li Xuanfeng's exquisite alchemy skills, before he stood up and said goodbye.
After Cai Siyuan left, Li Xuanfeng opened the formation of the Star Lord's Palace again, but this time it only covered the top floor where he lived. Tang Wu also needed to live on the first floor.
After opening the formation, Li Xuanfeng took out the pill bottle containing another Return to Ancestor Pill and muttered to himself: "Li would like to see what the Tianxing Sect leader uses this pill for!"
"Fifty thousand source crystals plus one return to ancestral pill, this refining is worth it!"
The reason why Li Xuanfeng deliberately failed to refine a batch of Duyuan Realm elixirs with similar materials to the Atlas Pill, and finally put the Atlas Pill he refined for the first time into the elixir furnace for a moment, was to hide the fact that he had successfully refined it twice.
He wanted Cai Siyuan to be absolutely sure that it was the third time he refined the ancestral pill that he succeeded.
The purposeful failure in refining a batch of Duyuan Realm elixirs with materials similar to those of the Atavism Pill was to create enough residues. After mixing them with the residues from the first failed refining, almost no one would be able to tell the difference.
Putting the first successfully refined Atavism Pill into the alchemy furnace was to increase the burning sensation in the furnace, so that Cai Siyuan would completely believe that this pill was just refined.
The purpose of these two preparations was to make Cai Siyuan think that he had only succeeded once, and at the same time keep a better quality elixir for himself.
This was a very clever strategy of replacing one thing with another.
After learning about the efficacy of the ancestral pill and that it could be refined three times, Li Xuanfeng planned to keep one for himself.
He knew very well in his heart that the leader of the Tianxing Sect asked him to refine pills, most likely for use in the Tianchen Secret Realm.
Seeing Cai Siyuan's excitement after learning that the refining was successful, Li Xuanfeng became more certain that the leader of the Tianxing Sect attached great importance to this ancestral pill and it must be of great use.
Being able to attract so much attention from the top leaders of the Tianchen Star Domain and the great masters of the late Duyuan Realm, perhaps I have prepared a star that will bring me unexpected gains within the Tianchen Secret Realm.
Because he had been paying close attention to the changes in the Star Lord Palace's absorption of spiritual power, and because of careful observation when he entered the Star Lord Palace again, Cai Siyuan had completely believed that Li Xuanfeng had only succeeded in refining it once.
Cai Siyuan would never have thought that what he saw was just what Li Xuanfeng wanted him to see.
After returning to the Tianxing Sect, Cai Siyuan reported to the sect leader everything he had seen during his trip to Tianhaixing, and also presented him with the ancestral elixir.
Seeing that the Atavism Pill was successfully refined, the surprised Tianxing Sect's leader did not have any doubts, nor did he care at all about the reward of 50,000 source crystals that Cai Siyuan gave to the Bai Clan's leader.
In his opinion, if the Atlas Pill could be successfully refined, it would be worth it even if he had to pay one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand Source Crystals as a reward.
After getting the ancestral pill, the leader of the Tianxing Sect was extremely happy and waved his hand, directly giving Cai Siyuan 100,000 source crystals as a reward.
The leader of the Tianxing Sect held the elixir and examined it carefully for a long time. One reason was to check whether the leader of the Bai tribe had tampered with it, and the other was to check the quality of the elixir .
He soon realized that the quality of this Atavism Pill was not very low, but was close to the middle grade. His eyes suddenly showed more brilliance, and he was quite impressed with the Lord of the Bai Clan.
Because there were only three chances, he originally estimated that even if he could succeed in refining it by chance, the quality of the Atavism Pill would be poor. Now the quality is much higher than he expected.
The leader of the Tianxing Sect couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't expect that this time he gave it a try, not only did he not fail, but the gains he got also made him quite satisfied.
The leader of the Tianxing Sect still does not have a reliable method of refining the elixir. If he asks the other three Duyuan Realm alchemists to try, they will most likely fail.
Even though he knew that the Bai Clan Leader's success rate in refining pills was higher than that of the other three Duyuan Realm alchemists, after all, this was a pill that the other party had never refined before, and there were only materials that could be refined three times. The Tianxing Sect leader couldn't help but worry that the Bai Clan Leader would also likely fail.
But this morning the secret realm was about to open again, so he had no choice but to hold on to a glimmer of seemingly slim hope and let the Lord of the Bai Tribe give it a try. Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.
This made the leader of the Tianxing Sect admire the alchemy skills of the Bai clan leader. He had already discussed this with the other three Duyuan realm alchemists and knew that the difficulty of refining this ancestral pill was much higher than the pills of the same realm, and it was almost impossible to succeed in two or three attempts.
After checking that there was nothing abnormal with the Atavism Pill, the expression of the Tianxing Sect's leader suddenly showed a stronger sense of surprise and anticipation. He had been waiting for this Atavism Pill for thousands of years.
At this time, there are still nearly ten years before the opening of the Tianchen Secret Realm. The reason why the leader of the Tianxing Sect sought an alchemist to refine the ancestral pill so early was that he was prepared for failure.
There is still a lot of time now. If you fail, you can look for other methods or search for refining materials and refine it again.
If the refining fails near the time of opening of the Tianchen Secret Realm, there may be no chance to save it, and the opportunity to open the Tianchen Secret Realm will be wasted again.
When Li Xuanfeng successfully refined the Return to Ancestor Pill, there were still more than nine years before the Tianchen Secret Realm was opened.
Although there seems to be plenty of time, all parties involved have not relaxed at all and are still making intensive preparations.
The cultivators from all forces hope that they can enter the Tianchen Secret Realm with greater strength, so that they can have more opportunities and the ability to protect themselves.
Entering the Tianchen Secret Realm will be a battle between various forces, and there are also many dangers within the secret realm, so that every time the Tianchen Secret Realm is opened, many cultivators will die inside.
Now, all forces are making their utmost preparations so that their own cultivators can seize more fortune and minimize the losses.
The third realm masters are already the top combat power of all forces. If there is a big loss, it will cause great damage to their own forces and they will not be able to recover in a short time.
There were many powerful forces in the past, but because they suffered huge losses within the Tianchen Secret Realm, their strength was greatly reduced. Eventually, at the end of the Tianchen Secret Realm, they were suddenly destroyed by other forces.
Although they knew that entering the Tianchen Secret Realm would be quite dangerous, all forces still chose to enter without much hesitation.
Because within the Tianchen Secret Realm, there exists a fortune that can allow the third-level masters to enhance their combat power and even break through their cultivation.
Although there would not be such danger if one did not enter the Tianchen Secret Realm, if other forces obtained extremely good fortune and their strength was greatly enhanced, they would still swallow up other forces when they left the Tianchen Secret Realm.
This is a choice without alternatives. The cultivators from all forces can only enter the Tianchen Secret Realm, not only to find good fortune for themselves, but also to preserve their own forces.
