Boom!
The pill furnace trembled, runes flowing on its surface and gradually faded away. A look of admiration appeared on Long Chen's face:
"Rong Yue, your control is growing stronger and stronger. It's great to have you all."
The Fire Dragon and Molten Moon worked together seamlessly, and with Long Chen controlling it, the power of the pills was almost never leaked. The tacit understanding among the three was simply indescribable.
The pill furnace slowly opened, revealing nine smooth pills before Long Chen. The pills were dull and even somewhat dirty, looking like pills and somewhat unsightly.
But Long Chen took out one pill and, with a slight force, shattered the layer of filth on the pill, revealing a crystal-clear pill inside.
Inside the pill, tiny creatures were swirling about, like tiny little dragons leisurely swimming back and forth.
"Truly worthy of being called the Divine Beard Narcissus. Using it as the main ingredient, the Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pill is mildly potent and contains the power of the water dragon, allowing it to fully absorb the medicinal power without wasting a single bit.
The Fire Spirit Pill was originally focused on berserk, but with the addition of the Divine Beard Narcissus, the rampaging beast transformed into a gentle rabbit. The Divine Beard Narcissus was truly priceless. Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
The effects of this Divine Beard Narcissus were astonishing, even beyond Long Chen's imagination. Originally, the Divine Fire Realm elevation pill, known as the Fire Spirit Pill, was extremely violent. Not only was absorption limited, but the fire poison was extremely potent. Taking large amounts of it was extremely harmful, risking the fire poison attacking the heart and soul, and if not handled carefully, it could cause chaos or even go mad.
But after adding Divine Beard Narcissus, the entire pill became extremely mild, so no matter how much you take, you don't have to worry about fire poisoning.
Water and fire are incompatible, but sometimes, when used well, they can complement each other. The mystery behind it is something even Long Chen cannot explain.
Long Chen swallowed a Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pill. The pill melted instantly in his mouth, flowing from his throat to his limbs and bones, surging back and forth within his body. When that power appeared, the 108,000 stars within Long Chen trembled slightly, absorbing the surging force into the 108,000 stars.
Part of the power of the Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pill was used to nourish Long Chen's body, while part was absorbed by the 108,000 stars. Long Chen clearly felt his physical strength slowly increasing.
But the power flowing into the hundred-eight thousand stars was like a clay ox entering the sea, not even raising a ripple.
"It seems the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique also knows my physical body isn't strong enough. Most of its power is used to improve it, and a small portion is spent on the 108,000 stars."
Long Chen swallowed nine Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pills in succession, but found that the 108,000 stars had absorbed the pill's power without any change, which made Long Chen gasp in shock.
The Divine Fire Realm probably requires a vast amount of pills, and never before. You have to understand, in the past, no realm had ever seen nine top-grade pills without any effect as now.
While refining pills, Long Chen swallowed the pills. After swallowing more than three hundred, the 108,000 Stars suddenly trembled violently.
The flame atop the star split into two because one of them split into two. In that instant, endless divine fire power was released. If Long Chen hadn't controlled it in time, the violent aura would have burst the place where he was in seclusion.
"Divine Fire Second Heaven."
Long Chen was utterly shocked. His divine fire was not growing stronger, but splitting. Among the 108,000 stars, each star was covered with a ball of flame. In that instant, Long Chen felt the endless power of the divine fire.
He gained a ball of divine fire, but its power was several times greater. The strength was so strong that even Long Chen felt a bit afraid.
"Is this about defying the heavens? With a one-tier advancement, the power of the divine fire can multiply several times over. "Last
time in battle with Chu Yang and the others, Long Chen erupted continuously, filling his body with divine fire power. When he finally faced the Heavenly Night Divine Radiance head-on, most of the divine fire power still remained, showing just how strong his divine fire was.
Now, the power of the Divine Fire has increased several times over, which means that as he continues to advance, the power of the Divine Fire will be vast as the sea, almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
"If this continues, we'll never have to worry about running out of divine power again. We can throw our ultimate moves out as if they're free." Long Chen clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.
You have to know, in the past, when Long Chen fought someone, he first had to anticipate the situation, using every bit of strength on the blade, afraid that a miscalculation could lead to insufficient power and eventual defeat. He was invincible because he dared not lose, because once he lost, he was doomed.
So, Long Chen's biggest worry was that he might exhaust his strength, but now, it seemed he no longer had to worry.
In the days that followed, Long Chen spent every day frantically refining pills, because the Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pill had no side effects. Long Chen could be eaten like a meal without any negative effects on his body.
After ten whole days, Long Chen forcibly raised his cultivation to the fifth level of the Divine Fire Realm. On the 108,000 stars, five flames flickered atop each star.
Upon reaching the fifth level of the Divine Fire, Dragon Chen's divine fire erupted around him, but the violent aura could not be suppressed. Within a hundred miles, both rocks and trees shattered and turned to dust.
Long Chen had no choice but to stop improving his cultivation. He spent a full three days outside before barely concealing his aura. He needed some time to consolidate his realm.
Although the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique does not cause a stable foundation, simply raising one's realm will make one's power stronger, but if it cannot be controlled, it becomes meaningless. That would actually reduce one's combat effectiveness, which can lead to fatal weaknesses. Power must be under control to be truly effective.
After reaching the fifth level of the Divine Fire Realm, Long Chen temporarily gave up on further advancement, letting Fire Dragon and Rongyue continue refining pills. He then found Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, Li Cai, and others, giving each of them two Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pills of the Treasure Pill level.
You have to know, even Long Chen finds it hard to refine a precious pill like the Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pill. Usually, with a bit of luck, it takes more than ten batches to produce one or two precious pills, which are extremely precious. Long Chen had eaten over ten thousand Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pills, all ordinary pills, reserved for the next realm breakthrough.
The Immortal Realm is different from the Mortal Realm. The Mortal Realm can only refine spiritual pills, while the Immortal Realm has precious pills beyond spiritual pills. The precious pill is the master of alchemy, comprehending the Heavenly Dao. By chance, during the pill refining, one senses the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao and completes the precious pill.
Low-grade pills are not rare treasure pills, but pills like the Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pill are very rare. Treasure pills are dozens of times more effective than spirit pills and contain the profound principles of the Heavenly Dao, enhancing one's understanding of the Heavenly Dao, making them extremely precious.
Above the treasure pills, there are also golden pills, but golden pills are basically very rare to find and do not circulate in the Immortal Realm. They are essentially priceless existences, and few people know their specific medicinal effects.
Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and the others were all at the fourth or fifth level of the Divine Fire Realm. When they swallowed a treasure-grade Divine Beard Fire Spirit Pill, their overwhelming power unleashed, causing them to scream in shock.
