Chapter 3741 Longevity Elixir
The Supreme Elixir Formula of the Celestial Emperor.
Shen Changqing didn't have much knowledge to begin with.
However, after receiving Chi Zhenzi's gift and comprehending the inheritance of the eighth-order sixth-grade grandmaster, he already possessed a much larger number of pill formulas.
There were many elixirs, some of which even had names he had never heard of before.
But without exception.
It can be used as a top-grade elixir for immortal emperors.
Elixirs of this caliber have countless wonderful uses for ordinary cultivators.
Once another batch of pills was refined, Shen Changqing adjusted himself to his peak condition, and his expression became extremely serious.
"Seventh-tier immortal pills are of little use to me. Next, I can start refining semi-saint immortal pills!"
Half-Saint Elixir!
Once the refining is successful.
That would mean he could step into the ranks of eighth-level alchemy grandmasters.
however.
Taking this step is certainly not easy.
A demigod at the ninth tribulation!
Eighth Rank, Ninth Grade!
There are countless prescriptions for elixirs among them.
The pill that Shen Changqing is now going to refine is the simplest and most common of all the eighth-order immortal pills.
This elixir.
It is called the Longevity Elixir.
It is the same as the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill.
The Longevity Elixir also primarily focuses on restoration.
The difference is that the former is only effective against Immortal Emperors, while the latter is effective against Immortal Half-Saints.
The Longevity Elixir differs from other semi-saint elixirs. This elixir does not require rare and precious materials for its refinement. Instead, it uses a semi-saint elixir called the Purple Mansion Void Fruit as the main ingredient, supplemented with other elixir ingredients, and can be directly refined.
Shen Changqing also found some of these elixirs in Chi Zhenzi's storage ring.
The reason Shen Changqing hadn't started refining it earlier was because he wasn't very confident.
But now.
He felt he was qualified to attempt to reach the eighth level.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing naturally had to make some preparations and begin refining the Longevity Elixir.
……
Crimson Abyss Valley!
Tens of thousands of years have passed.
Shen Changqing stepped into this place once again.
The last time he came to Crimson Abyss Valley, it was to lure Du Changshou out. This time, his purpose in coming to Crimson Abyss Valley was very simple.
Alchemy!
The Elixir of Immortality is different from the Elixir of the Immortal Emperor.
In the latter case, Shen Changqing could condense immortal fire with his own immortal power to reach the level of alchemy.
However, to successfully refine the Longevity Elixir, one must have sufficiently powerful immortal fire.
With Shen Changqing's current cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to meet the requirements if he were to use immortal power to condense immortal fire for alchemy.
Think about it.
Only Crimson Abyss Valley meets the criteria.
This place is a sacred alchemy ground in the Divine Sun Domain, and it is also a rare place that is not controlled by other forces and is shared by many independent cultivators.
it's here.
Any monk may come here.
The premise is that you can withstand the power of the earth fire.
After Du Changshou perished here, for a considerable period of time, no other cultivator dared to set foot in Crimson Abyss Valley.
After all, no one can guarantee that the Tongtian Pavilion will not take its anger out on them.
But things are different now.
There was no movement from Tongtian Pavilion.
Over time.
The other cultivators were relieved.
When Shen Changqing arrived, some cultivators noticed the commotion and turned their gazes towards him, but they quickly looked away.
An unfamiliar cultivator, not worth mentioning.
Shen Changqing scanned the area with his divine sense and quickly found a place where the earth fire was relatively concentrated. As soon as he stepped into the area, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose and the space itself became violently distorted, as if it could not withstand such high temperatures.
In fact.
The space in Crimson Abyss Valley is different from the outside world.
The space here has been tempered by the temperature of the earth fire for many years, and it has long reached an inconceivable level. Otherwise, if the earth fire power of Crimson Abyss Valley were to fall on other places, it would be enough to turn billions of miles of space into nothingness.
As far as Shen Changqing could see, the land was covered in red soil.
There are deep ravines in the earth that have existed for countless years. At the bottom, subterranean fire escapes from the cracks, forming a sea of fire.
This kind of scene is common throughout the entire Crimson Abyss Valley.
Although this place is named after a valley, the space within Crimson Abyss Valley is quite vast; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a world unto itself.
Shen Changqing casually set up a Great Dao restriction around him, and then summoned the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace to begin refining pills.
His expression remained calm. He first preheated the alchemy furnace with earth fire, and only added other immortal herbs when the time was right.
The timing of each medicinal herb being added is precise to the last second, ensuring that no accidents occur.
Time passed little by little.
Shen Changqing's alchemy was also gradually coming to an end.
As he captured that wisp of creation from heaven and earth to integrate into the elixir and complete the final step of condensing the pill, the Eight Trigrams Purple Sun Furnace suddenly erupted with a terrifying power that swept across all directions in an instant.
"boom!!"
Stimulated by this force, the subterranean fire also surged instantly.
Shen Changqing's expression changed slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, a powerful burst of immortal energy erupted, suppressing all the power fluctuations that had been unleashed.
"The oven exploded!"
His expression darkened.
The situation of a furnace exploding during alchemy is relatively rare. After all, failure is one thing, but a furnace explosion only occurs when the pills fail and there is a conflict between the two.
Of course.
Normally, there shouldn't be any major problems with the oven frying.
But this time is different.
The immortal medicines required for refining the Longevity Elixir are of extremely high grade, and the immortal power contained within them is even more surging. Coupled with the earth fire power of Crimson Abyss Valley, the explosion of the furnace is naturally extraordinary.
That force just now was enough to severely injure many cultivators at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
visible.
Alchemy is also a high-risk profession.
Without sufficient strength, even just the act of blowing up the oven would be enough to cause serious trouble.
Suppressing his thoughts, Shen Changqing reviewed the steps of the alchemy process he had just taken, as well as the final step of absorbing a wisp of the creation of heaven and earth, searching for the reasons for the failure and the explosion of the furnace.
After a long while.
He proceeded with the next alchemy session.
But it's a pity.
The difficulty of refining the Longevity Elixir was higher than Shen Changqing had anticipated.
After failing three times, he finally succeeded in refining the elixir on the fourth attempt.
"Three pills have been formed!"
"Now it all depends on how many pills can survive the pill tribulation!"
Shen Changqing looked at the three immortal pills in his palm, then took a step into the air and transformed into a stream of light that broke through the nine heavens, heading directly to the chaotic void to undergo his tribulation.
The eighth-order Dan Tribulation has a significant impact; undergoing tribulation in the Divine Sun Domain is too conspicuous.
By venturing into the chaotic void to undergo tribulation, the impact can be minimized.
Soon.
From the depths of the chaotic void came rolling thunder, and bolts of lightning struck down, their terrifying aura raging in all directions.
Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back in the void, gazing at the three immortal pills undergoing their tribulation. The pills remained suspended in the void, silently enduring the tempering of the heavenly tribulation.
a long time.
The final heavenly tribulation dissipated.
Shen Changqing reached out and, just as the three elixirs were about to escape, he directly imprisoned them and then took them into his palm.
These elixirs that can withstand the tribulation of pills are more or less imbued with some spiritual energy, which Shen Changqing is not surprised by.
In his palm were three immortal pills, each bearing a mysterious Daoist charm that seemed perfectly natural. This was the mark of a semi-saint, first-grade immortal pill.
However, if you look closely at one of the elixirs, you can see that there are cracks on the surface, and the Daoist charm and immortal light are much dimmer.
"Two complete Longevity Pills, one slightly incomplete, but it can still be considered a success!"
Shen Changqing was naturally satisfied with this result.
From the moment he refined the Longevity Elixir, he became a true eighth-rank, first-grade alchemy grandmaster.
Although...
Given Shen Changqing's current situation, he can only be considered the bottom of the eighth-level Grandmasters, but he is still an eighth-level Grandmaster.
The difference between the seventh rank and the eighth rank is only a hair's breadth.
However, their identities are completely different.
Eighth-tier Grandmaster.
Even among many immortal forces, they would be honored guests. The influence of such an existence is far greater than that of a half-saint of the same level.
after all--
If used properly, an eighth-tier Grandmaster can significantly enhance the strength of their faction, and even refine numerous high-grade pills, potentially leading to the emergence of more than one immortal half-saint within the faction.
of course.
Nothing is absolute.
For forces of average strength, an eighth-tier Grandmaster is naturally not as precious as a true Half-Saint.
Especially some Immortal Emperor forces.
The emergence of a semi-saint is enough to propel one's own power to the heavens and into the ranks of immortals.
However, if it is only an eighth-level Grandmaster, although such a Grandmaster of alchemy plays a greater role in the long run, the short-term improvement on the power is not obvious.
In short.
A half-saint can break a deadlock, but an eighth-tier grandmaster might not be able to.
However, in powerful, immortal forces that don't lack one or two half-saints, the treatment of an eighth-tier grandmaster is completely different.
To put it bluntly, if Shen Changqing were willing, even the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands would vie for him, and might even grant him a certain status.
This is incomparable to the recruitment by the Taoist Master Lichen back then.
At that time, Shen Changqing was only a seventh-level Grandmaster. Even if he agreed to join the Longevity Immortal Sect with Daoist Lichen, his status would not be very high.
But things are different now.
To put it bluntly, Daoist Lichen is not even qualified to approach Shen Changqing right now; at least a half-saint from the Longevity Immortal Sect would be needed to do so.
Although...
In top-tier sects, Immortal Emperors and Half-Saints are sometimes elders.
but.
There are vast differences between elders.
In short, an eighth-tier Grandmaster, even the weakest eighth-tier first-grade Grandmaster, is enough to be considered a master in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
now.
Shen Changqing looked at the three Longevity Pills in his hand, then picked up the incomplete pill and put it in his mouth.
next interest.
A terrifying torrent of immortal power erupted and instantly disappeared into the Nine Directions Universe.
That surge in immortal power was something that the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill could never match.
If the Purple Cloud Gathering Immortal Pill was just a bucket of water, then the Longevity Profound Pill at this moment was like a lake of water being poured in, and the immortal power it replenished was astonishing.
The surge of immortal power made Shen Changqing feel somewhat saturated. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a punch with all his might into the void, releasing all his power like a flood bursting its banks.
"boom--!!!"
The chaotic void suddenly exploded, and a surging torrent of power swept in all directions, failing to subside for a long time.
