Chapter 1108: Chapter 483: Refining a Furnace of Formation Pills (Part 2)

Ning Qi stepped towards the center of the square.

Suddenly, Ning Qi flew onto the Alchemy Furnace placed in the center.

“Alchemy Furnace?”

Seeing Ning Qi’s actions, Wei Immortal and Lin Chen were taken aback.

They had checked the Alchemy Furnace before, but it contained nothing but some residue and debris.

Could the opening of the four halls be related to this Alchemy Furnace?

As they pondered this, they noticed Ning Qi’s Golden Immortal Power surging.

Ning Qi did not strike directly at the Array of the four palaces like the Saint Ancestor, but instead, he stomped hard on the Alchemy Furnace.

A misty light flashed around Ning Qi, diving into the large Alchemy Furnace beneath his feet.

Instantly, the Alchemy Furnace in everyone’s eyes transformed into the four colors: cyan, red, white, and black.

Thump, thump, thump!

The corners of the Alchemy Furnace vibrated, emitting a peeling sound as if the aged residues on the furnace wall were shaken off.

As the Alchemy Furnace vibrated, the Arrays on the surrounding palaces seemed to perceive something and shot out four beams of Array Light towards the Alchemy Furnace.

Roar!

The palace echoed with dragon roars and tiger howls, faintly suggesting Immortal Beasts awakening, and their shadows appeared.

The shadows of Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared atop the four halls, as if laying on the roofs of the palaces, their giant pupils constantly probing forward, overlooking everyone in the square.

The crowd involuntarily retreated a step, feeling that the shadows of these Immortal Beasts might swoop down at any moment to tear them apart.

Only Ning Qi stood atop the large Alchemy Furnace, as steady as a mountain.

The vibration inside the Alchemy Furnace paused slightly, and Ning Qi then shouted: “Ignite Fire!”

Instantly, the palace where the Vermilion Bird circled opened its gates, and a fiercely sharp Immortal Fire was emitted, twisting the void as it flew beneath the Alchemy Furnace.

The lower half of the Alchemy Furnace became a fiery red instantly, and a crackling sound like popping beans emerged continuously from within.

Ning Qi then commanded: “Summon Water!”

The Black Tortoise’s hall opened its doors, and a large mass of cool spring water emerged, like a Profound Turtle diving into the air, rushing towards the Alchemy Furnace and falling through the four holes left on the lid.

The popping sound within the Alchemy Furnace ceased immediately.

The crowd watched, their hearts captured.

This place holds such profound mystery!

Wei Immortal and Lin Chen exchanged glances, their expressions rather helpless.

They had never thought of unlocking the Array of this place in such a manner, impossible to conceive even after exhausting their brains.

To unlock the Restriction and seal here, it seems one must be proficient not only in Immortal Arrays but also in Alchemy Dao.

Who would’ve thought, even Ning Qi knows Alchemy Dao?

Among the crowd, the Pill Cultivators summoned by Ning Qi had already been startled by the commotion and had all arrived.

Each of their eyes lit up, resembling wolves spotting prey.

“What a fortune, to witness the Realm Lord demonstrating Alchemy Dao firsthand again.”

“Alchemy Dao can also be combined with Array. Truly unheard and unseen!”

“Observing the Realm Lord’s Alchemy rivals ten years of arduous cultivation, just look at those gestures, watch that technique… But what are the materials of this Array’s Immortal power, and what kind of Pill is being refined?”

One Cultivator obsessed with Alchemy asked for guidance on the spot.

Others responded nearby: “Are you silly? Of course, it’s an Immortal Pill!”

The crowd rolled their eyes.

“Everyone knows what Immortal Pills are, but what specific Pill is it?”

“If I knew, I’d be the one refining for the Realm Lord.”

The crowd was speechless.

Saint Ancestor, Sea Ancestor, Wei Immortal, and Lin Chen watched these Pill Cultivators discussing in amusement, feeling these guys lived somewhat in their own world.

But being immersed in a world one loves, isn’t it a blessing?

The four experienced individuals all felt something from this.

They continued to look on.

The giant Alchemy Furnace ignited, summoned water, and boiled within, as if already forming a Pill.

Ning Qi carefully perceived the state inside the Alchemy Furnace, then suddenly shouted again:

“Condense Gold!”

With that said, the doors of the White Tiger hall opened, and a group of condensed matter was emitted, making a sound like gold and iron.

It appeared to be minerals or perhaps something else.

Ning Qi flicked his toe, and the lid of the giant Alchemy Furnace opened momentarily before closing again.

The condensed matter fell into the Alchemy Furnace, and the popping sound disappeared, transforming into the sound of gold and iron.

This continued for a moment, and seeing a slight sheen of sweat appear on Ning Qi’s face, everyone realized that refining this Pill was probably not as easy as it appeared.

Immortal power, Immortal Arrays, materials from the four halls, and manipulating the Alchemy Furnace were all no easy tasks.

At first, the sound of gold and iron inside the Alchemy Furnace was chaotic, but eventually, it became singular, increasingly clear, rising and falling like a melody.

Everyone was astonished.

To refine a Pill to the point where it plays music inside the furnace, what kind of realm is this?

The Pill Cultivators’ eyes turned red, their hands and feet dancing wildly, almost kneeling down to kiss the ground.

Were it not for an unseen resistance in front, they would definitely rush forward to examine the Alchemy Furnace.

“It’s worth it, it’s worth it!”

One Pill Cultivator held a Memory Spirit Crystal, recording Ning Qi’s Alchemy process.

He was most excited, as if he had obtained a Supreme Treasure.

“Come on, why are you recording with a memory crystal?”

“How many Spirit Stones for a copy? Remember to give me one!”

“Priceless!”

“Priceless, huh? Watch out, I’ll tell everyone you’re hogging the Realm Lord’s public Alchemy images.”

“Damn, I’ll sell them then, no, I’ll share them freely with you all!”

In front, Ning Qi took a deep breath.

The musical sounds within the Alchemy Furnace ceased, and Ning Qi faced the final Cyan Dragon hall.

“Harvest Wood!”

The hall doors roared open, and four cyan shadows instantly flashed inside, resembling the essence of a divine dragon.

The cyan shadows circled like dragons and penetrated the Alchemy Furnace through the four holes on the lid.

Below the Alchemy Furnace, clusters of Immortal Fire crawled along the walls, and through the gaps, also entered inside.

In a flash, the entire Alchemy Furnace shook violently, and soon after, calmed down.

A swirling color, presenting four hues, emerged from within the Alchemy Furnace.

Ning Qi stepped away from the Alchemy Furnace.

“Open the Furnace!”

The lid of the Alchemy Furnace lifted into the air, ejecting eight Pills.

Each Pill shone with four colors, emitting a four-colored Immortal Light, and a faint fragrance instantly filled the entire square.

Above the four halls, the shadows of the Divine Beasts roared even more ferociously.

The Pill Cultivators present frantically inhaled the Pill fragrance, attempting to discern the nature of the Pill.

Even Saint Ancestor, Sea Ancestor, Wei Immortal, and Lin Chen were exceptionally intrigued.

Ning Qi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, his eyes gleaming like stars.

If not for the condensation of the Great Dao Array Fruit, he would have been unable to complete this Alchemy.

Ning Qi exhaled gently.

“Go!”

The eight Four-Color Immortal Pills spun and shot towards the four halls.

In the crowd’s surprised expressions, they saw the eight Pills fall into the eyes of the four Divine Beasts.

“So, these Immortal Pills serve as the eyes of the Sacred Beasts?”

The Pill Cultivators were incredulous; they thought the Pills were edible, completely caught off guard by the outcome.

As the Pills transformed into the eyes of the Sacred Beasts, the Beasts turned entirely into Immortal power, retreating beneath the palaces.

The doors of the four halls issued a creaking sound, the Four Symbols engraved on the doors.

Only then did everyone realize the doors of the four halls were engraved with lifelike images of the Divine Beasts, unnoticed until now.

Pop!

On the square, the lid of the Alchemy Furnace closed again.

The doors of the four halls opened, leaving no Array Patterns, only a lingering scent that intoxicated.

“All Restrictions deciphered at once?”

Wei Immortal and Lin Chen smiled bitterly; who knew the Restrictions here needed to be deciphered this way.

It’s funny, they tried deciphering these Restrictions at least ten thousand times.

Each time concentrating efforts on a single hall, relying on brute force.

Indeed, they tried using Array Path techniques, but their studies lacked depth, leaving them clueless.

Now, as the doors of the four halls opened, they finally resolved a piece of their heart’s puzzle.

“Taoist Friend Ning, please!”

Wei Immortal could hardly contain himself, his eyes filled with expectation.

Lin Chen felt the same way.

Could there be Immortal Pills inside these halls capable of resurrecting deceased loved ones?

Ning Qi scanned the four halls:

“The Arrays here are unlocked, but entering and exiting the halls is still restricted. Follow me.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again surprised.

“Still restricted?”

They had no choice but to follow Ning Qi, leading towards the Alchemy Palace first.
