Chapter 1659: Leaving the Jade Lake Sacred Land

Long Chen recovered while examining the strange earth essence floating within his primal chaos s.p.a.ce.

It actually didn’t fall to the ground. It simply floated there as if it couldn’t merge with the ground.

When he had sucked it into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, he had clearly felt a terrifying burst of power about to erupt from it, and it had been about to flee. However, just the slightest shaking from the primal chaos s.p.a.ce caused it to turn still.

The earth essence was now dull, like an ordinary piece of earth. Even its divine pressure had disappeared.

Long Chen was thankful for the primal chaos bead, otherwise, this priceless treasure would have been impossible to s.n.a.t.c.h. However, not just anything could be sucked into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce. For example, the Black Illusion Dragon Flame. He hadn’t dared to pull it into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce for fear that it would destroy all his medicinal fields. The reason why he dared to do so with the earth essence was because it wasn’t as berserk and explosive as the Black Illusion Dragon Flame.

However, he hadn’t expected the earth essence to attempt to flee. Fortunately, it had been suppressed by the primal chaos bead.

As Long Chen could only control the slightest bit of the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, he was unable to force it to listen to his orders. Hence, there were many things that he could only test bit by bit.

After two hours, they had recovered a portion of their energy and slowly stood.

Tang Wan-er had made great contributions when it came to taking the earth essence this time. Only she had had full spiritual yuan at the time, otherwise, without enough spiritual yuan, Long Chen wouldn’t have been able to draw it into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce.

“Long San, let’s split our gains.” The Pill Fairy’s blush faded as if nothing had happened.

“Our gains?” asked Long Chen.

“The Black Illusion Dragon Flame is currently completely suppressed, and it has been refined into flame essence. However, it’s too berserk, and after being suppressed, seeing that it had no hope, it actually exploded of its own volition. The energy it felt behind was refined into two portions, a berserk energy and an illusory energy.” The Pill fairy took out the Daynight Furnace.

Its runes revolved, and it turned transparent, allowing them to see what was inside. There were two spheres, each with one kind of rune around it. Those runes were the same runes as the ones in the Black Illusion Dragon Flame’s eyes.

Its eyes had represented its two different kinds of power, the softer illusory power and its fierce berserk power.

Clearly, the Pill Fairy was letting Long Chen choose between these two kinds of power.

“Then I won’t be courteous.” Long Chen delightedly waved his hand, and a golden flame dragon flew into the Daynight Furnace, swallowing the globe of berserk energy in one gulp.

“Long San…” The Pill Fairy couldn’t help being a bit guilty.

The reason the Black Illusion Dragon Flame was ranked above the Heaven Incinerating Flame wasn’t just because its destructive power was greater than it, but because it possessed a strange kind of power. Its illusory energy was priceless to alchemists. This illusory power had its own special name, the Black Illusion Spirit Flame. It was the flame alchemists longed for the most.

However, the Black Illusion Dragon Flame’s berserk power was merged with its illusory power. To separate them required a great deal of time. Hence, the Pill Fairy had actually been quite lucky that this Black Illusion Dragon Flame had been too berserk and detonated itself upon seeing that it couldn’t escape.

To increase the power of its detonation, it had expelled all its gentler, more spiritual illusory power, and instead concentrated all its berserk power. That explosion had caused the Pill Fairy to receive a heavy injury at the time. Fortunately, the Daynight Furnace was extremely powerful, or even another divine item would have exploded from that.

Due to this explosion, there was no need for them to separate the illusory power from the berserk power. In fact, it was even purer, as no matter what a person did, some of that berserk energy would remain in the illusory aspect, but here, the Black Illusion Dragon Flame had done it all on its own. The two types of energy were as pure as possible.

The Pill Fairy naturally wanted the illusory aspect, but in truth, it had been mostly thanks to Long Chen that they had managed to obtain the Black Illusion Dragon Flame. If it hadn’t been for him, she’d have long since given up on it.

So, while she naturally wanted this Black Illusion Spirit Flame, she couldn’t say it directly. That was why she gave the initiative to Long Chen. She was already prepared for Long Chen to take the Black Illusion Spirit Flame, because she knew that he was also an alchemist, and an extremely powerful one at that.

The Black Illusion Spirit Flame posed a fatal attraction to alchemists. No alchemist could resist its lure.

So the Pill Fairy’s heart was conflicted. However, Long Chen had taken the berserk energy without hesitation. That berserk flame had no use to alchemists. Hence, the Pill Fairy was both grateful and ashamed. She opened her mouth to speak, but she found that she had no reasons.

“Hehe, I have two reasons, one real and one false. According to a normal person, I should say that I adore beautiful women and only the Black Illusion Spirit Flame is fit for your immortal grace. To be able to see you soar to the peak of the Pill Dao would be my life’s greatest fortune.”

Long Chen’s mischievous smile completely ruined the effect of his words.
