The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 462: Nine Pill Inscriptions!

Gently, Ling Feng untied the red string tied around the demonic shen’s crystal core and, after some thought, decided to keep it.

After all, it was a gift from his student. While he couldn't keep the crystal core, the red string could serve as a memento.

The other three top alchemists exchanged glances, not paying attention to this small detail. They were more interested in seeing how Ling Feng would handle the demonic shen’s crystal core, which had been sealed for over a decade.

This crystal core was crucial for refining the Demon-Transforming Pill. If it wasn't handled correctly, the chances of success would be slim.

In the next moment Ling Feng activated his Earth-Fire true qi, starting to gently melt the amber layer that had formed on the surface of the Demonic Shen crystal core.

The amber layer was specially crafted by General Deng to prevent the core's energy from leaking. Now, however, it had to be melted away to extract the energy within.

"Fire of the Earth's Core!"

Su Dongling nodded silently. Although Ling Feng's Earth-Fire true qi wasn't as potent as the Heavenly Purple Fire he used to infuse spirits for his daughter, it was still one of the most suitable types of fire for an alchemist.

As the demonic shen’s crystal core gradually melted, Ling Feng carefully took a jade box from the materials table. The crystal core would soon turn into a high-temperature liquid, and only a box made from fire jade could withstand such heat.

Before long, the state of the crystal core began to change and emit high-temperature steam from its surface.

Ling Feng moved quickly, covering the core with his left hand which exuded a cold aura. As the cold met the steam, it condensed into droplets that fell into the jade box Ling Feng had prepared.

The water-based spiritual substance Ling Feng used for spirit infusion was Moonlight Water Essence, which had a chilling property. While it couldn't freeze everything like ice-attribute true qi, it still produced a low-temperature cold aura.

Of course, it certainly couldn't compare to the Ice Emperor true qi exhibited by Yan Jinghong.

"So, it's the alternating water-fire refining method."

Su Dongling nodded again. He couldn't think of a better way to refine the Demonic Shen crystal core. However, due to his own attribute limitations, he would need to use an array to employ this water-fire refining method.

"Good kid. His technique is so proficient. Is he really Yan Cangtian's student?"

Su Dongling frowned slightly, feeling a pang of envy. This old guy had found such a promising talent. Compared to his own daughter, Ling Feng seemed more suited to be a poison master.

"It seems there's no need to worry about this kid," Yan Cangtian said with a smile, and everyone began to assume their roles.

The steps to refine the Demon-Transforming Pill were more complex than those for the Icy Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill. However, for the four top alchemists present, it wasn't a significant challenge.

About half an hour later, Ling Feng and the others had prepared all the materials and began the alchemy process.

During the preheating of the alchemy furnace, Su Dongling demonstrated his extraordinary fire control techniques, which were indeed more refined than Yan Cangtian's Daoist Art of Heavenly Fire.

Su Dongling's techniques bore some resemblance to those of Su Qingxuan’s, but they were on a completely different level.

As expected of the Empire's Top Poison Master!

Ling Feng took a deep breath and started pouring the refined materials into the alchemy furnace.

His technique was slightly influenced by Su Qingxuan's methods from a few days ago as he incorporated some of her refined practices into his own.

"Hmm?" Su Dongling was secretly surprised. Why does this kid's technique for melting medicinal materials resemble my own?

However, despite his surprise, this was a critical moment. Su Dongling didn't get distracted and continued to channel one fire spell after another into the Six-legged Taotie Cauldron.

Since it was their first collaboration, Ling Feng didn't incorporate any of his own ideas and instead strictly followed the pill formula. Su Dongling, being an extremely experienced alchemist, could seamlessly adjust and cooperate, ensuring that the medicinal liquid in the cauldron fully integrated despite any minor deviations from Ling Feng.

One must say, working with a top-tier master like Su Dongling was undoubtedly a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Unbeknownst to others, Su Dongling was even more surprised. Despite his young age, Ling Feng could completely lead the alchemy process and perfectly synchronize with Su Dongling's fire control techniques.

One hour passed!

Two hours passed!

Finally, everyone's expressions grew slightly serious. Su Dongling cast the final fire spell, causing the temperature of the furnace to drop instead of rise. The once slightly shaking furnace now settled completely.

"Pill Condensation!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and shouted softly. As the pill condensation seal was imprinted into the furnace, the lid flew up, and a burst of nine-colored light suddenly blossomed.

The blinding light made it almost impossible for everyone to keep their eyes open. Ling Feng expertly used the Dragon Capture Seal, and with a wave of his hand, the Demon-Transforming Pill that flew out of the furnace landed in his hand.

It was another pill with spiritual intelligence!

Snap!

The jade box was closed, and after ten breaths, the pill was finally subdued by Ling Feng.

"Haha, it looks like this pill has condensed pill inscriptions!"

Hong Haotian was somewhat excited. Despite his countless experiences in alchemy, producing pills with pill inscriptions was rare. This was especially true with high-tier ancient medicinal pills.

"Hmph, with the four of us working together, if we couldn't condense pill inscriptions, we might as well pack up and go home to farm."

Yan Cangtian laughed heartily, took the jade box from Ling Feng, and slowly opened it.

The dazzling light blossomed again. Although there was no strong fragrance, the almost dreamlike brilliance left everyone in awe.

"What a miraculous pill! The senior who came up with the Demon-Transforming Pill formula was truly a genius!"

Hong Haotian praised after seeing the nine pill inscriptions on the pill.

Nine was the number of extremes. Nine pill inscriptions meant that this Demon-Transforming Pill was virtually the highest grade possible!

"A nine-inscription miraculous pill!" Su Dongling also took a deep breath. Truth be told, the best he had ever produced was an eight-inscription poison pill.

Nine inscriptions were something he had never seen, let alone produced!

"Kid, with this Demon-Transforming Pill, even the Demon Emperor wouldn't be able to discern your true identity," Yan Cangtian laughed heartily.

"Huh? Elder Yan, what do you mean? Aren't you going to the demon race's sacred land?" Hong Haotian was puzzled.

"Hmph, why are you asking so many questions?" Yan Cangtian rolled his eyes, closed the jade box containing the Demon-Transforming Pill, and handed it back to Ling Feng with a faint smile. "Kid, take good care of it."

"Okay." Ling Feng nodded, storing the Demon-Transforming Pill in his storage spirit ring. Refining this pill had indeed taken a lot of effort from both himself and Elder Yan!
