Chapter 518 - Red Flame Spirit Pills (2/2)
“Kaboom!”
The Earth Magus Tripod Cauldron shook more violently, almost pitching the lip off its top. There seemed to be great energy inside the belly of the cauldron that struggled to get out.
“Master, what is going on?”
Xie Yan asked incredulously.
He had seen how elixirs were made many times, but none looked like this. It was as if they had trapped the Monkey King inside the Cauldron to turn him into a pill, but the mighty monkey was not having any of it.
“Easy now. Remember that we are making a superior-grade Spirit Pill, not just any ordinary elixirs.”
Chen Fan started an art to exert more control over the cauldron.
“These herbs had absorbed so much Spirit Qi that they were near sentient. Turning them into elixirs would distort the balance of nature. That is why some Golden Core Immortals would have to deal with Heavenly Tribulation after they created powerful elixirs. As for even more powerful herbs, such as the Immortal herb, Divine Herb or Sage Herbs, they could even transform into the shape of a human and live thousands of years.”
“What?”
Xie Yan was stunned by the revelation.
He had never thought that there was so much more about elixir brewing that he simply didn’t know.
He had lived over a hundred years, but never once did he learn any of what Chen Fan had just told him. It reinforced his belief that Chen Fan was not a twenty year old man.
“It’s a shame that I am only powerful enough to create superior-grade spirit pills. I wouldn’t even start to attempt to make the Treasure Pills, Divine Pills or the Sacred Pills”
Chen Fan shook his head.
“KOM!”
Suddenly, a puff of energy shot out from the Tripod Cauldron and blew the lid off. A ray of iridescent light flew out from the cauldron and attempted to escape the cave.
“Easy, easy!”
Chen Fan let out a peal of laughter and unleashed a pulse of energy.
The energy reined in the rough light and brought it back to Chen Fan.
“One, two, three… Ha! Terrific! I thought I could make six pills at most, but there are nine here.”
Chen Fan said as he beamed from side to side.
He quickly put away these pills inside the gourd. This gourd was also a Connate Spirit Artifact, so the longer those pills were kept in there, the more potent their effect would get.
“Master, what kind of elixirs are those?”
Seeing Chen Fan’s excitement, Xie Yan hazarded.
“These are called the Red Flame Spirit Pills. It was one of the most effective Spirit Pills.” Chen Fan replied readily.
“How is it different from the normal elixirs we use?”
Xie Yan asked cautiously.
“Haha, you mean those mud pellets you eat? Those are not elixirs.” Chen Fan snorted derisively.
“Real Spirit Pills required thousand-year-old materials. A good example is the Essence Enhancing Pill and the Essence Gathering Pill. However, those two are inferior-grade Spirit Pills. In order to create higher grade pills, you not only need more precious and potent raw materials but also extremely stringent procedures and required a Divine Sea Level cultivator to perform. One of these pills could make a Transcendent State Grandmaster out of ordinary people instantly.”
“What?”
Xie Yan was stunned.
One of these pills could make ordinary people into a Grandmaster? That’s unbelievably powerful!
“Hehe, but those are just mid-grade Spirit Pills. The creation of superior-grade Spirit Pills is even more difficult. It requires more powerful materials and perfect conditions during the entire brewing process. They are much more potent than the mid-grade stuff as well.”
Chen Fan continued. “All you need to know about the superior-grade spirit pills was that one pill was enough to turn an ordinary mortal into an Immortal State Warrior.”
“What?”
Xie Yan was floored.
The revelation had utterly astonished the hundred-year-old Dragon Lord.
Immortal State Warriors were so rare that there were only a couple of them on each continent. If what Chen Fan said was true, then the nine pills he was holding could mean the addition of nine more Immortal State Warriors in the world.
The thought had drained color from Xie Yan’s face.
“Sigh”
Chen Fan shook his head.
So powerful were the real Superior-grade Spirit Pills that using it to turn a mortal into Immortal State Warriors was practically a waste. In theory, it required the power of a Connate Cultivator to make these spills, but Chen Fan had pulled it off at Divine Sea level thanks to his immense knowledge of his past life. However, these pills were only half as strong as they should be.
“It was a success nonetheless and my labor over the three months was not wasted. With these Red Flame Spirit Pills, I can finally put some of my earlier plans into action.”
Chen Fan thought to himself as his eyes glinted.
