Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1877: Chapter 1127: Nine Cauldron Divine Pill Complete (Part 2)

With a gentle wave of his horsetail whisk, he sent strand after strand of Life and Death Dao Intent into the Pill Furnace, constantly neutralizing the clashing medicinal properties.

At the same time, he was pinching a spell, ready to seal the Pill Furnace at any moment.

Next to him, Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan both wore tense expressions, because they knew the refinement of the Nine Tripod Divine Pill had already entered its final stage, and also the most crucial stage—Solidifying Pill.

”Sealing Spirit!”

Yang Zhenshan called.

Sealing Spirit drifted out from the Pill Furnace, hovering above it.

”My Lord, I’m ready, but the fire still isn’t fierce enough!”

Yang Zhenshan glanced at the Golden Crow beside him. ”Golden Crow!”

”Caw caw, Spirit Stones, I need more Spirit Stones!” the Golden Crow shouted.

The Golden Crow had been continuously unleashing True Sun Fire for five months straight, and all this without Yang Zhenshan providing any Mana.

Which meant that for these five months, the Golden Crow had been burning Spirit Stones nonstop; the Low-grade Spirit Stones it had burned through were probably over a hundred million pieces.

Hearing the Golden Crow’s call, Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan immediately bustled about, pouring Spirit Stones into the Furnace of Eight Trigrams without pause.

Spirit Stones clattered down as if they were free, dumped in by the armful.

One storage pouch, two storage pouches!

”Caw caw, watch me!” ⅇℯ𝚕.

With the fresh supply of Spirit Stones, the Golden Crow instantly grew excited. Golden True Sun Fire spewed from its beak, almost completely enfolding the Sealing Spirit Mysterious Fire Furnace.

The entire Pill Hall was dyed gold by the True Sun Fire, the scorching temperature baking everything inside.

Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan had no choice but to raise protective treasures to ward off the burning heat of the True Sun Fire.

Sealing Spirit’s figure also grew much more indistinct; it was still afraid of the True Sun Fire. If it were only a short burn, it could endure, but this fire had been blazing for over five months already, and its furnace body had turned entirely golden.

The flames surged higher, as if even space itself were warping.

Inside the furnace, the medicinal properties were changing, reaching their most unstable point. Yang Zhenshan, without any hesitation, sent a surge of Void Dao Intent into the Pill Furnace.

”Seal!”

Sealing Spirit followed and dove back into the Pill Furnace, presiding over the Sealing Array within, firmly binding the medicinal liquid into a small clump.

Then Yang Zhenshan poured his Power of Divine Soul into the Pill Furnace, fusing the medicinal liquid bit by bit.

Slowly, the vague shape of an Elixir began to take form.

Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan didn’t even dare breathe heavily; they held their breath, faces taut, staring fixedly at the blazing Pill Furnace.

Time ticked by second after second, and beads of sweat seeped out on both their foreheads.

Yang Zhenshan was just as strained, focusing every shred of attention on the medicinal liquid within the furnace.

After about an hour, the Pill Furnace suddenly began to tremble, humming nonstop; even the lid seemed to be shaking, like a pot of boiling water.

But Yang Zhenshan’s expression relaxed, because this signaled that Solidifying Pill had succeeded and the Divine Pill was formed.

The Divine Pill possessed spirit, unwilling to be imprisoned, and was struggling violently.

”Get ready to take the pill!”

Yang Zhenshan said softly.

Hearing this, Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan immediately took out the porcelain bottles they had prepared long ago, ready to collect the Elixir at any time.

Yang Zhenshan flicked his horsetail whisk, and the furnace lid flew open at once. A golden Elixir shot out from within.

The little thing was extremely clever; the instant it flew out of the Pill Furnace, it tried to escape. But with Yang Zhenshan here, how could it possibly get away?

Before the Divine Pill could fly out of the hall, a snowy-white silk strand whipped over at high speed, directly wrapping around the Divine Pill.

The long hairs of the horsetail whisk contracted, sending the Divine Pill before Yang Zhenshan. He reached out and pinched the pill between his fingers.

This Nine Tripod Divine Pill was about the size of a pigeon egg. Its surface was covered in countless dark-golden Pill Patterns, like a layer of Pill Coat wrapped around it. A gentle golden radiance enveloped the pill, giving it a crystal-like luster.

Yang Zhenshan stared at this Nine Tripod Divine Pill with a slightly puzzled look, because the pill in his hand was somewhat different from the Nine Tripod Divine Pill he had seen in the Sun Cave Heaven; that one had seemed milky white.

”Why is it different from the previous Divine Pill?” Yang Zhenshan brought the Elixir to his nose and sniffed, finding no problem, then turned to ask Sealing Spirit.

Sealing Spirit paused. ”What’s different?”

”The color is different!”

”The color!” Sealing Spirit was even more startled. ”The pill spirit is self-born, its spiritual light naturally manifests. What color it appears on the outside is decided by the pill spirit itself—whatever color it prefers, that’s the color it shows.”

”I see!” Yang Zhenshan was taken aback. ”But then why are all Evergreen Pills green?”

”Evergreen—those are Wood Attribute Spirit Pills, and their ingredients are hundreds of types of Spiritual Medicine. The Elixir refined from them will naturally be green.” Sealing Spirit explained.

Only then did Yang Zhenshan suddenly understand. ”So it’s a success!”

”That’s right, a complete success. The quality of this pill has reached mid-grade. It’s not inferior in the slightest to the one that was once in my furnace—in fact, its medicinal power is even stronger than that previous one!” Sealing Spirit said with certainty.

Hearing this, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but grin broadly.

Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan were even more unable to hold back; they burst out cheering.

”We did it, haha~~”

”Congratulations, Master!”

Yang Zhenshan laughed heartily. ”Put it away. Next, we’ll be testing the effects of this Elixir!”

The two quickly stored the Elixir into a porcelain bottle.

Successfully refining the Nine Tripod Divine Pill meant far more than just obtaining a single pill; it signified that Yang Zhenshan would be able to refine many more Nine Tripod Divine Pills in the future.

A single Nine Tripod Divine Pill was equivalent to a Golden Core Cultivator, and it also meant that everyone would gain one more chance at Core Formation.

Although relying on the Nine Tripod Divine Pill could only form a Fake Pill, a Fake Pill was still a Golden Core and could allow one to catch up with the pace of Golden Core Cultivators.

After the excitement passed, Yang Zhenshan once again left the Pill Hall in Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan’s care. As for himself, he took the freshly finished Nine Tripod Divine Pill and went to find Yu Qingyi.
