Chapter 575: 575

The pill furnace let out an intense rumble . The pill furnace was s.h.i.+ning, and the entire room was lit up . Runes actually appeared on the pill furnace .

“Hehe, as expected, Huo Wufang really had money . This pill furnace actually has inscriptions on it to reflect the energy . ”

Long Chen smiled . This pill furnace’s runes could increase the quality of the medicinal pills refined in it .

However, ordinary medicinal pills were unable to cause these runes to activate . Only when refining higher tier medicinal pills would they appear .

Gently opening the lid, a pillar of light soared out . That beautiful light filled the entire room with color .

Nine medicinal pills lay there . Light revolved around them . They had nine rings, looking like nine little serpents swimming around the medicinal pills .

Most shocking of all, not even the slightest pill fragrance appeared in the air . That was because all the medicinal energy had been locked inside the medicinal pills .

“Nine-ring high grade pills . Hehe, that’s already the limit of high grade pills . ” Long Chen was filled with excitement .

This furnace of pills not only proved he had the strength of a Pill Emperor, but most importantly, it showed he was able to control the Earth Flame .

Long Chen had been completely focused on cultivating recently . He had basically stopped practicing his alchemy . But with his Pill G.o.d memories, his skills didn’t grow rusty . On the other hand, because his cultivation base continued to grow, his alchemy arts also continued to improve .

Pill Apprentice, Pill Adept, Pill Master, Pill King, Pill Emperor . Each of these tiers represented that the alchemist could refine the corresponding medicinal pill tier .

However, not everyone who could refine fifth tier medicinal pills could be called a Pill Emperor .

In order to reach the Pill King level, you had to be able to refine a ringed fourth tier medicinal pill . As for a Pill Emperor, the requirements were even harsher . You had to refine a five-ring fifth tier medicinal pill to be able to call yourself a Pill Emperor .

Pill Emperors were extremely grand existences . Any power would treat them like a treasure .

For example, in the Mo family, their alchemist could only refine three-ring pills, but they were still viewed extremely importantly . Their salary was very generous .

Those people couldn’t even call themselves a Pill Emperor but already received such treatment . A true Pill Emperor would have been swarmed by people wherever they went .

There was no way around it, as Pill Emperors were just too rare . Furthermore, ninety-nine percent of this world’s alchemists were gathered at the Pill Tower .

Through the alchemist guilds, the Pill Tower managed to draw in practically every alchemist . The non-affiliated alchemists in this world were too rare .

Furthermore, in all of the Pill Tower, although there might be countless alchemists capable of refining fifth tier medicinal pills, those who could refine five-ring pills were extremely rare .

As for those who could refine nine-ring pills? Perhaps in all of the Pill Tower, there wouldn’t be a single person capable of that feat . Even their strongest alchemists would only be able to refine eight-ring pills . That was already the limit .

Furthermore, those who could refine eight-ring pills had to rely on luck to do so . Perhaps in thousands of furnaces of pills, they would only produce a single eight-ring pill .

Those eight-ring pills would normally be saved for themselves, used to show off . They were rarely sold .

As for Long Chen’s furnace of pills, there were four nine-ring pills and five eight-ring pills . If that was made known, it would definitely shake the entire alchemy world .

“This is all because of the Earth Flame . Otherwise, there’s no way I could have completely sealed the medicinal energy when refining . Seven rings would have been the limit,” sighed Long Chen .

The Earth Flame was truly too powerful . Most importantly, it had full trust in Long Chen . It worked to its full abilities to cooperate with him . That was the only reason they could achieve such a perfect result .

Long Chen hadn’t refined this Earth Flame . Instead, he had allowed it to keep its spirituality, allowing it to keep its own emotions and thoughts .

This action of his allowed him to reap immense benefits now . If he had refined it instead, then that would have erased its spirituality . The Earth Flame would have become a ball of dead flames .

Then relying on just his own strength, he might be able to use the power of the Earth Flame to fight, but he would have found it impossible to use it for alchemy . The Earth Flame was too strong, and there was no way he could control it perfectly with his current strength .

But now, the Earth Flame had its own life, and after all Long Chen’s nouris.h.i.+ng, it had grown even stronger and more friendly toward Long Chen . Their minds were connected, and it would cooperate to do whatever Long Chen wanted .

Only this kind of situation was able to allow him to use a berserk Earth Flame to refine pills . It seemed that in countless years, Long Chen was the first person able to control an Earth Flame for alchemy at only the Meridian Opening realm .

Picking up one of the nine-ring Life Fate Pills, Long Chen swallowed it . It instantly dissolved the moment it reached his stomach, transforming into nine serpents of energy . Under Long Chen’s guidance, they rushed directly to the YongQuan acupoint on the bottom of his right foot .

BOOM!

When the nine serpents reached his YongQuan point, they ferociously collided, exploding and forming a small whirlpool .

Once that whirlpool formed, a terrifying aura soared . The ground beneath Long Chen’s foot became covered with cracks .

BOOM!
