Chapter 3070: Refining Godking Pills (1)
Very soon, the banquet came to an end. After everyone dispersed, Jian Chen saw Xi Yu alone.
Xi Yu was now the leader of the Tian Yuan clan, and because the structure of power in the Tian Yuan clan was slightly different from other peak clans, without the existence of an ancestor, Xi Yu’s authority surpassed everyone else’s. Apart from the esteemed Chaotic Primes, all of the Infinite Primes in the Tian Yuan clan had to listen to Xi Yu’s orders and arrangements.
However, this did not affect Jian Chen’s control over the Tian Yuan clan at all.
All of the central members of the Tian Yuan clan understood that while Xi Yu was the leader on the surface, the only reason why the Tian Yuan clan actually possessed their current status was all thanks to Jian Chen and Ming Dong.
Whether it was the eighth successor of the Martial Soul lineage or the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, none of the peak organisations on the Cloud Plane dared to offend them. Ming Dong was also centred around Jian Chen, so if the Tian Yuan clan lost Jian Chen, they would definitely plummet in all aspects.
However, neither Jian Chen nor Ming Dong liked to manage the miscellaneous affairs of the Tian Yuan clan, which was why they intentionally nurtured Xi Yu for this role.
From Xi Yu, Jian Chen learnt roughly about the Tian Yuan clan’s current situation. He immediately asked what he cared the most about right now, “Xi Yu, how have you gone with preparing the materials I asked you to gather back then?”
Xi Yu immediately took out a Space Ring and passed it to Jian Chen. “I’ve assigned this matter to two Infinite Primes of the clan a long time ago. Through our best attempts over the years, not only have we purchased all the heavenly resources on the Cloud Plane, but we’ve even bought quite a lot from a few neighbouring planes too. We’ve prepared over three million of them already.”
Despite all being at the Saint Tier, over three million heavenly resources were still unimaginably pricey. Fortunately, the Tian Yuan clan was truly wealthy right now, or they would have never been able to afford such a large purchase.
“Over three million. That’s enough.” Jian Chen’s eyes lit up. He accepted the Space Ring with the heavenly resources from Xi Yu and immediately entered secluded cultivation.
He was getting closer and closer to the age of a thousand. He needed to refine Godking pills in the shortest time possible.
At this moment, in a part of the forbidden grounds, the two great elders of the Tian Yuan clan, Xu Ran and Yun Wufeng, gathered together.
“Fellow Xu, may I ask about this young man Ming Dong’s origins? He actually has so many peak organisations in the Saints’ World fearing him, where they built so many teleportation formations in the southern region just for the sake of quelling his wrath,” Yun Wufeng clasped his fist towards Xu Ran and asked modestly.
Yun Wufeng was filled with questions. As a Chaotic Prime, he understood just how many resources went into an interplanar teleportation formation. That was not something a regular organisation could afford.
Yet right now, Ming Dong had actually managed to frighten away several dozen peak organisations with the ability to build interplanar teleportation formations. Yun Wufeng struggled to imagine what kind of identity he needed to achieve something like this.
“Don’t you know anything at all about the major events that have occurred recently in the Saints’ World?” Xu Ran stared at Yun Wufeng indifferently.
Yun Wufeng sighed gently in response. “I’ve muddled along through the past few years, paying no regard to any major matters, so I really don’t know what has happened.”
Xu Ran glanced at Yun Wufeng deeply and said, “You should feel extremely fortunate about coming to the Tian Yuan clan, as the Tian Yuan clan right now is not a place you can join just because you want to. One of the vice clan leaders is the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng!”
“What? The ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng?” Yun Wufeng was alarmed. “D-don’t tell me it’s Ming Dong?”
Xu Ran nodded slowly.
At the same time, deep below the Tian Yuan clan, in a secret room enveloped by a powerful formation, Jian Chen sat on the ground and took out the cleaned materials one by one, tossing them into the cauldron according to a specific order.
These materials were all supplementary to refining Godking pills.
Jian Chen dared not be careless when it came to refining Godking pills. He gave it his full attention, using a god artifact cauldron for the process. Even though it was only a low quality god artifact, that was the highest quality cauldron he had on him.
Beneath the alchemy cauldron, chaotic flames roared away. As their destructive presence radiated outwards, they gave off an extremely terrifying heat.
“Refining different grades of pills requires flames of different levels. The fire can’t be too hot or too cold.”
“If the flames are too powerful, certain low grade materials will directly vapourise, burnt to absolutely nothing. However, if the flames are too cool, then the materials won’t melt, and it’s very easy to destroy the materials.”
Jian Chen had already memorised the formula for refining Hundred Tribulations Godking pills, and he had imagined the process countless times in his head already. As a result, when he began refining the pills, he did so with great ease.
Finally, he tossed in the most important material for refining Godking pills, Godking grass!
That was a stalk of low grade Godking grass!
High grade Godking grass was extremely precious, and their quantity was extremely limited. Even destroying one was a huge waste, so before he had absolute confidence, Jian Chen refused to use high grade Godking grass.
He had a great pile of low grade Godking grass in his Space Ring. They were specially prepared for practice.
However, soon after the Godking grass entered the cauldron, Jian Chen sensed a chaotic and violent energy suddenly erupt from the Godking grass.
He was prepared beforehand. He immediately suppressed this power, but…
Boom!
A rumble rang through the entire secret room, and a violent explosion occurred in the cauldron. The entire cauldron bounced up, having been knocked up violently.
“Sure enough, I need at least two Chaotic Primes supporting me when I refine Godking pills. My strength alone is nowhere near enough to suppress the violent energy within the Godking grass.” Jian Chen frowned slightly. He checked the cauldron carefully and discovered there was actually some damage to the interior of the low quality god artifact.
It was not a big issue, but if that occurred a few more times, the cauldron would still be destroyed.
“Senior Xu, I require your assistance. Xi Yu, find some alchemy cauldrons for me immediately. They need to be low quality god artifacts at the very least. If you can find medium quality god artifacts, that would be for the best,” Jian Chen communicated.
With a flash, Xu Ran appeared in the secret room, but when she saw how Jian Chen was actually refining pills, surprise immediately filled her eyes.
“Senior Xu, I require your assistance when I refine pills.” Afterwards, Jian Chen told Xu Ran about what he was doing in detail before starting up a new cauldron of pills.
On the other side of the cauldron, Xu Ran sat on the ground, staring at Jian Chen with surprise as he refined the pills. She was very puzzled by Jian Chen’s actions.
She was not skilled in the Way of Alchemy, but she was still knowledgeable. Given her insight, she could obviously tell with a single glance that Jian Chen was refining merely Saint Tier pills. They could not even be considered as God Tier pills.
Given Jian Chen’s current identity and cultivation, did he really need her personal assistance to refine some saint pills that were useless to them? And from how cautious and solemn Jian Chen was, Xu Ran could tell he definitely was not practising.
Most importantly, he actually even needed the support of a Chaotic Prime.
Very soon, Jian Chen reached the step of adding the Godking grass, and he could not help but become stern. He carefully instructed Xu Ran, “Senior Xu, get ready. An uncontrollable energy will erupt later. You must suppress this energy.”
Xu Ran nodded slowly. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
With the addition of the Godking grass, the violent energy in the Godking grass surged forth once again.
Having been prepared the entire time, Xu Ran struck immediately. The tremendous power of a Chaotic Prime immediately flooded into the cauldron. Under Xu Ran’s careful control, she suppressed the energy within the Godking grass.
Boom!
However, with a rumble, the pill cauldron exploded violently again. The energy within the Godking grass lost control again, leading to another failure.
Xu Ran furrowed her brows and said, “The energy is very difficult to suppress. It seems to touch on some extremely profound mysteries.”
“Senior Xu, are you confident about suppressing the energy?” Jian Chen was composed. He had learnt from the various large organisations a long time ago that Godking pills were not easy to refine.
Xu Ran fell silent for a moment before slowly replying, “I do have some confidence, but I need to experiment around and practice so that I find the technique required. After all, suppressing this energy requires much more than just power.”
