Chapter 670 – The Dao Of Alchemy! (1/2)

The violet barrier dispersed, and a pavilion appeared before Yang Ye’s eyes. The pavilion had just a single floor, and it wasn’t large. It was only around 30m in both length and width.

There were 3 words inscribed right at the top of its entrance, Pavilion of Alchemy!

“A place to refine pills?” Yang Ye frowned a little. Actually, he wasn’t really fond of medicinal pills. There were medicinal pills in the continent as well, but their effects were minimal. Especially after one attained a certain level of cultivation, the effects of medicinal pills were practically unnoticeable. Moreover, profounders who improve their strengths via medicinal pills would possess strengths that are greatly inferior to profounders who cultivated normally.

In short, even though there were medicinal pills in the continent, no one attached any importance to them. So, the status of Alchemists was far inferior to Talisman Masters, and thus there were only a few Alchemists throughout the continent!

Yang Ye stood on the spot and pondered deeply for a moment, and then he pushed open the door and walked in.

Before his eyes were numerous bookshelves, and they were all around the room. There were rows upon rows of bamboo scroll holders on the shelves while an enormous furnace resided at the center of the room. On the ground beneath the furnace was a circular stone platform which was partially black and partially white, and there was a black and a white circle on the stone platform as well.

The stone platform supported the furnace while four fist sized iron chains chained the top of the furnace from 4 different sides.

Yang Ye’s gaze stopped on the stone platform for a moment before he gazed at the furnace, and there were 3 words inscribed on the top of the furnace, Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Besides that, there was a ball of dark red flames burning within the furnace.

Yang Ye’s pupils constricted when he laid eyes on the flames. At the same time, the Nether Ghostflame suddenly emerged from within him and hid behind him. Yang Ye sensed that the Nether Ghostflame was terrified and showing submission. It was even more terrified than when it met Lei Lin that day!

What exactly is this flame? Why is it capable of making the Nether Ghostflame feel such terror? Why is it capable of making me feel a terribly strong sense of danger from it?

Yang Ye wasn’t able to wrap his head around it no matter how he wracked his brain!

Yang Ye shook his head and stopped thinking about it. His gaze moved past the furnace and descended onto a rack carved from jade that stood behind the furnace. Atop the rack were rows of white colored jade bottles, and there were over a hundred there!

Yang Ye was delighted by this scene, and he flashed over to the jade rack. He looked carefully and noticed that they were actually jade bottles that were made to store medicinal pills, and they were labelled with the names and effects of the pills they contained. Yang Ye’s gaze swept through them before finally descending onto a comparatively small jade bottle on the left.

“Soul Pill, third-grade. Repairs, strengthens, and fuses the soul.”

Yang Ye was overjoyed when he saw that. After all, Xiao Qi had fallen into deep sleep because her soul had been damaged, and this pill just happened to be capable of repairing her soul. In other words, she might be able to awaken if he gave it to her. Yang Ye didn’t hesitate to grab it, but he was immediately stunned on the spot!

“It’s empty!?” Yang Ye hurriedly opened it up, and it was completely empty….

“What’s going on?” Yang Ye frowned, and then he took another jade bottle yet noticed it was empty as well. So, he took another, but it was still empty. It wasn’t long before Yang Ye noticed that all the jade bottles on the jade rack were empty!

They’re all empty!How am I to treat Xiao Qi?

A strand of panic arose in his heart. The reason he’d desperately attempted to enter the 2nd level was because the medicinal pills here could save Xiao Qi. ,However, they were all empty. There wasn’t even a single pill here! Could it be that I really have to wait over 100 years for her to wake up?100 years….This won’t do! Anything can happen! Who knows if anything might happen to her during the next 100 years!? Yang Ye took a deep breath, and then he gazed at the bookshelves and said, “Since there are no pills, then I’ll make them myself. Regardless of success, I still have to give it a try!” Yang Ye walked over to one of the bookshelves as he spoke, and then he started looking through the bamboo scrolls!

There were all sorts of things recorded on them. Like medicinal materials, springs, and even ores and all sorts of other strange and exotic things. However, all of them were more or less related to alchemy. Yang Ye didn’t look through them in detail because he didn’t need them for now.

He searched for over 2 hours before he finally found what he needed!

Basics of Pill Refinement, A Comprehensive Collection of Alchemy, Alchemy: A Detailed Guide.

Yang Ye was overjoyed when he found them because they provided information on how to refine pills. It was especially so for the comprehensive collection of alchemy. Within it was the detailed methods to refine numerous medicinal pills and their respective effects, and it simply astounded Yang Ye and caused his heart to palpitate with desire. For example, the medicinal pill called Violet Extreme was capable of instantly providing 50 years of cultivation, and it came without any side effects!
