“The immortal flames in your body can fuse with everything and never be extinguished. Not only can it be used in battle, but it can also be used in alchemy!”
“The most important thing in the path of alchemy is fire! Controlling the fire is equivalent to controlling the cauldron! Controlling the cauldron is equivalent to controlling the pill!”
“Now, use your immortal flames to control these 49 cauldrons!”
“I will prepare the medicinal herbs for you. Within two days, you must refine
all 49 cauldrons at the same time!”
Ye Chen’s face turned pale when he heard this.
Controlling all 49 at the same time?
Was he crazy?
He was very clear about his own abilities. He might be able to control two of them, but forty-nine of them, whether it was in terms of true qi or flames…
He did not have enough of either to accomplish this feat!
“Master, are you sure you’re not joking?” Ye Chen grinned.
“Do you think I’m joking?”Lin Qingxuan said coldly.
Ye Chen’s smile froze. He had no choice but to walk toward the forty-nine
cauldrons.
When he reached the center, he asked, “Master, what kind of pill will I be refining in these forty-nine cauldrons?”
“Pill?” Lin Qingxuan smiled disdainfully.
“Disciple, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood something. I don’t want you to
refine one kind of pill at the same time. That’s not difficult. I want you to refine forty-nine pills of different attributes at the same time!”
“What?!” Ye Chen exclaimed.
What kind of joke was this? Forty-nine types of pills, all refined at the same
time?
He knew his alchemy level very well, and this was a task that was impossible to complete!
“Master, I…”
Ye Chen was about to say something when Lin Qingxuan waved his arm. The forty-nine cauldrons floated up.
“From now on, condense the pills and envelop the cauldrons with your true qi!”
“This is difficult, but you have to remember that you are the master of the Samsara Graveyard. If you can’t even accomplish such a small thing, how can you rule the world and pull those high and mighty existences down from their divine altar?”
Ye Chen did not waste any time, as he remembered the danger that his master was in. No matter what, he had to win this battle.
“Immortal Flames, come!”
Ye Chen roared, and the Immortal Flames emerged from his body and hovered
in front of him.
He then clapped his hands and then said, “Go!”
In an instant, the flames spread out, transforming into a fire dragon that coiled around the 49 cauldrons.
The cauldrons gradually turned red!
In order to maintain the flames, Ye Chen had to constantly release true qi from
his body, which worked in tandem with the immortal flames.
Ye Chen, who was in the middle of the forty-nine cauldrons, was instantly engulfed by the violent outflow of energy.
It was very uncomfortable!
Lin Qingxuan nodded. He had thought that Ye Chen would need a few hours to learn how to control these forty-nine cauldrons at the same time. He did not expect Ye Chen to figure it out on his first try. Although he was not very familiar with it, it proved that Ye Chen had talent.
He no longer hesitated, and pointed his finger at Ye Chen. A beam of light shot into Ye Chen’s forehead, and information regarding the forty-nine pill formulas surged into Ye Chen’s mind.
“Just attempt it according to the instructions I gave you.”
Ye Chen nodded. He clenched his fist and countless medicinal herbs around him floated into the air and began to circle his body.
Ye Chen used his mind to control them. However, just as he was about to throw in the medicinal herbs, the flames suddenly lost control and swallowed Ye
Chen.
Puchi!
Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and his body was sent flying. The forty-nine cauldrons were also completely shattered.
His entire body was covered in soot and pitch-black, and it was obvious that he was in a sorry state.
Lin Qingxuan looked at Ye Chen and shook his head helplessly.
This was normal.
“Disciple, your control over the cauldrons and flames is still lacking.
Lin Qingxuan waved his arm, and 49 cauldrons appeared again.
Ye Chen swallowed a pill and got up. He ignored the pain and walked over to
the middle of the cauldrons once again.
This time, when the Immortal Flames and his true qi worked in tandem, he unleashed his life rune and the blood dragon at the same time.
Instantly, the entire Samsara Graveyard was filled with lightning bolts, and the blood dragon coiled itself around the forty-nine cauldrons. Its blood energy pervaded the air, seemingly wanting to share some of Ye Chen’s burden. Even so, the pain that Ye Chen was enduring was also extremely terrifying. The veins on his still pitch-black body bulged as his internal organs were shaken by the energy shockwaves.
He was barely holding on thanks to his willpower!
“Go!”
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and roared, and all the medicinal herbs entered the cauldrons. At the same time, the 49 cauldrons were engulfed by the Immortal Flames.
A strong medicinal fragrance wafted out!
However, Ye Chen soon realized that he was running out of true qi. Without true qi, the balance would be completely broken.
Bang!
The cauldrons shattered once again, and Ye Chen spat out another mouthful of blood. The scene from before repeated itself.
Lin Qingxuan looked at Ye Chen’s sorry state and sighed. “Disciple, there are some things that cannot be forced. Your true qi is in a chaotic state right now. Rest for a while before continuing.”
However, Ye Chen acted as if he did not hear him. He got up and headed toward the 49 cauldrons again.
There was no true qi in his dantian, so he took out a bottle of Qi-amassmg Pills and swallowed them all!
“Again!”
At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with madness!
Lin Qingxuan’s eyes wavered. Previously, he might have had some reservations about Ye Chen being chosen to become the master of the Samsara Graveyard, but now, he was absolutely certain.
In the entire world, if there was anyone who could shake that force, it would be this young man in front of him. Once Ye Chen truly grew and developed, these people from the Kunlun Mountains could only look up to him.
Suddenly, a part of the Samsara Graveyard shook. Lin Qingxuan’s eyes narrowed and turned toward one of the tombstones.
The tombstone turned red, and then it darkened again.
The dark clouds in the sky above the tombstone were rolling, and flashing with lightning.
Lin Qingxuan was taken by surprise, and muttered, “Could it be that this child’s madness has attracted that Fiendgod? With the evil energy from the dragon bead, and his current state, it might actually be possible!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Chen had been injured multiple times. His entire body was covered in wounds and he was in a sorry state.
There were even a few times when he lost limbs and bones! Fortunately, Lin Qingxuan was by his side.
Lin Qingxuan’s medical skills were divine. Even if someone died, as long as their soul was not destroyed, he could snatch them back from the hands of the King of Hell!
Ye Chen was on the verge of death time and time again, but Lin Qingxuan saved him again and again.
Ye Chen was like a madman that did not know how or when to stop. From 20 cauldrons, he then managed to simultaneously control 30. However, there were still 19 to g°-
He had endured pain that no ordinary person could endure.
Finally, two days later, he successfully refined the medicinal pills in the 49 cauldrons!
Although it was unstable, Ye Chen had undergone a transformation from his countless life-or-death situations.
At this moment, Ye Chen’s clothes were completely torn, and his body was as black as charcoal. However, his eyes were filled with determination.
“Master, I’ve already completed what you asked me to do. Have I already reached the saint grade in alchemy?” Ye Chen asked.
Lin Qingxuan’s eyes were filled with emotion as he shook his head and replied,
“Far from it..”
