Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Refining the Netherworld Ghost Fire

Sanqing Mountain.

In the sprawling mountain range, wisps of various colored Dan Fog rose slowly.

At this moment.

A Five-Colored Dan Fog suddenly ascended to the sky and exploded in the clouds, forming a magnificent five-colored cloud.

Sanqing Mountain disciples were all startled.

”Another Sky Ascending Pill has been successfully refined.”

”This is already the thirtieth Sky Ascending Pill successfully refined by the Dao Leader this month.”

”To be able to refine a Sky Ascending Pill successfully every day, in all of Taicang State, it’s only our Dao Leader.”

”Even those crazy elders cannot reach his level of expertise.”

”That’s for sure, our Dao Leader is a certified Five-Star Soul Master, unmatched by others.”

In Taicang State, not only Sanqing Mountain is a sect focusing on Alchemy.

The ability to refine Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills is not exclusive to Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader.

But to refine Fifth-Grade Spirit Pills with such stability and high yield, only he can.

As the Dan Fog dispersed.

An elderly Taoist in a white robe at the Seven Orifice Nascent Soul level walked out of the Alchemy Room with a horsetail whisk in hand.

He appeared to be about eighty years old.

Surrounded by Pure Qi, he appeared like an immortal, untouched by worldly dust.

With a light step, he swiftly reached the main hall for discussions at Sanqing Mountain.

The powerful ones of the sect came to pay their respects.

”Welcome Dao Leader out of seclusion.”

The Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader sits on a mat, with several jade bottles filled with Sky Ascending Pills by his side.

”Keep enough for the sect’s disciples, and sell the rest to other sects at ten times the usual price.”

Ten times?

Several elders hesitated, wondering if they heard correctly.

Isn’t this price too high?

The Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader calmly said, ”The great calamity is approaching, every Sky Ascending Pill is a hope for survival.”

”Moreover, one ingredient in the pill recipe comes from the Vast Sea.”

”Currently, the Four Seas have severed relations with us, this ingredient is no longer supplied, reducing the number of Sky Ascending Pills.”

”Scarcity brings value.”

”There will be buyers at ten times the price.”

The elders found it reasonable upon hearing this and each took a jade bottle.

After distributing the Sky Ascending Pills, the Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader said again: ”Elder Xiang.”

A prosperous middle-aged Taoist stepped forward with a bow: ”At your service.”

Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader looked at him with a calm gaze: ”Have you found the person who cracked the Cold Cicada Silence Pill recipe?”

By this time, Sanqing Mountain naturally reacted.

They received news from various channels that the Four Seas were contacting other Alchemy forces in Taicang State to refine the Cold Cicada Silence Pill.

The pill recipe was provided by the Four Seas Demon Clan.

Undoubtedly, their pill recipe was leaked.

The prosperous middle-aged Taoist rolled his eyes and said: ”Not yet found.”

”But there is a suspect.”

Hmm?

Many Taoists of Sanqing Mountain had sharp eyes.

Secretly cracking the Cold Cicada Silence Pill recipe made the Four Seas break free from their control, leading to a lack of crucial ingredients for several kinds of pills, including the Sky Ascending Pill.

This enmity was not trivial.

Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader’s gaze became slightly sharp: ”Who?”

The prosperous middle-aged Taoist was none other than Elder Xiang, who was eaten by the Hell Beast.

The current Elder Xiang before them was naturally the Hell Beast.

He squinted his eyes and said: ”I suspect a junior named Jiang Fan.”

”Because I found out, the Four Seas titled him as a different surname Sea King, and even the Four Seas Demon Emperor formed a bond with him.”

”Without a massive contribution to the Four Seas, they wouldn’t treat him this way.”

In fact, the Hell Beast was uncertain if it was Jiang Fan.

He merely wanted to shift the blame onto Jiang Fan.

Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader pondered: ”What is his background?”

Hell Beast said: ”Continent Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

”By the way, a few days ago, Qintian Bureau announced that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has moved to Qingli Mountain.”

Upon hearing this.

A gleam flashed in the eyes of Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader: ”Qingli Mountain?”

After some consideration, he waved his sleeve and said: ”Then I, Dao Leader, will personally go!”

Qingli Mountain, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Jiang Fan’s face showed deep pain.

His whole body was red, like iron burning in fire, with white smoke emerging from his pores.

He clenched his teeth, making a creaking sound.

His vision occasionally sank into darkness, several times almost fainting.

He had undergone two Body Tempering sessions with True Spirit Blood and been washed by Infinite Blood Tribulation.

The pain he felt hinted at the extreme agony of absorbing Netherworld Ghost Fire.

As more white smoke steamed from his body.

His internal temperature had reached its limit.

His organs were all roasted.

Even his Nascent Soul showed abnormalities.

But, the Netherworld Ghost Fire was unable to be integrated into the Fire Pill.

Instead, the blood-red Fire Pill condensed by Asura Karmic Fire showed signs of cracking, about to shatter.

Jiang Fan’s expression changed.

If this continues, not to mention refining this fire, his Nascent Soul will be burnt, his cultivation ruined.

He might even lose his life!

Should he give up?

He was unwilling.

Seeing that he was about to achieve Great Success in Void Flow Fire Force!

Sensing his distress, the Little Qilin beside him anxiously circled around.

At this moment.

The Little Qilin noticed that Jiang Fan’s skin was starting to show a layer of faintly visible greenish flame.

This was a sign of the Netherworld Ghost Fire being out of control.

The Netherworld Ghost Fire was a flame greatly feared by even Seven Orifice Nascent Souls.

Once out of control, it would burn Jiang Fan to ashes.

”Master, stop quickly!”

The Little Qilin urgently shouted.

Jiang Fan also sensed the great danger.

This fire was beyond what he could refine.

At least the Divinity Transformation Realm is needed to easily refine this fire.

He couldn’t hold on any longer.

Otherwise, he couldn’t even preserve his life.

With clenched teeth, just as he was about to give up, he suddenly recalled something.

Why did the Red-faced Elder want to buy vegetables containing Yin Qi?

He should be using them to refine the Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan for True Word Venerable.

Why do they need Yin Qi Vegetables?

Thinking of this.

He decided to make one last attempt.

Immediately, amidst Hua Xin’s cry of surprise, he took out a bunch of Yin Qi Vegetables to swallow, chewing forcefully.

Instantly, countless amounts of Yin Qi filled his body.

Not only did this rapidly dissipate the scorching heat within, but it also seemed to find a nemesis, heading toward the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

However, the Netherworld Ghost Fire was too strong.

It melted away as soon as they approached.

Jiang Fan felt a glimmer of hope in his heart: ”How could I forget, flame is the bane of earthly Yin things.”

”Conversely, if there’s enough Yin substance, it can also suppress Netherworld Ghost Fire.”

He didn’t hesitate any longer, taking out a large amount of Yin Qi Vegetables to eat.

One after another.

When he had eaten until there was only less than a tenth left of Yin Qi Vegetables.

The Yin Qi within Jiang Fan had become so abundant that it was seeping out from his pores.

Under such dense Yin Qi, the Netherworld Ghost Fire was tightly surrounded and compressed bit by bit.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Fan activated the Qian Lan True Fire Technique to use the Fire Pill to absorb the Netherworld Ghost Fire.

Despite its resistance, under the pressure of dense Yin Qi, the Netherworld Ghost Fire was slowly forced to merge into the Fire Pill.

Jiang Fan was overjoyed.

He was close to giving up, unexpectedly, the once deemed useless Yin Qi Vegetables played a significant role!

He hurriedly absorbed it bit by bit.

Three days later.

There was a knock on the door outside.
