The next day, on the summit of a mountain several dozen miles from Star Moon City, a spatial rift appeared, and several figures emerged from it. Yun Ze, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Gu Yue Na, and Bear Lord landed on the mountaintop. This was the alchemical location they had decided on beforehand. The area was desolate and rarely visited, so they didn't have to worry about the commotion of alchemy being too great or being disturbed.
"Later, when I say to inject Soul Power, that's when you start injecting pure energy into my body. Absolutely do not inject it on your own initiative, understand?"
Yun Ze instructed Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord. Gu Yue Na's Soul Power wasn't strong and wouldn't be of much help to him, so she wouldn't need to inject Soul Power later.
"Understood," the three of them nodded seriously.
Yun Ze didn't waste any time. He found a flat spot to sit down and took out the alchemical furnace he had prepared long ago.
The alchemical furnace was over a meter tall, entirely light red, with three legs and two ears. The middle resembled a round drum, and the top was a conical lid. The surface was engraved with many complex patterns.
This was not an ordinary alchemical furnace, but a Level 8 Soul Guidance Device. Its material was special and could amplify the temperature of flames. The only requirement for the user was fire.
As long as they were a fire-attribute Soul Master, even with only Level 1 Soul Power, they could use this Level 8 Soul Guidance Device.
Yun Ze sat cross-legged, and firelight illuminated the surface of his body. The surrounding environment's temperature began to rise. With a 'roar,' a Phoenix soared into the sky.
The Phoenix spread its wings, leaving trails of tail flames. After rushing out several dozen meters, it circled and finally landed behind Yun Ze.
Two purple Soul Rings rose with it, pulsating around Yun Ze's waist, emitting scorching energy fluctuations.
Yun Ze's palm faced the furnace, and flames spewed out from it, beginning to heat the alchemical furnace.
Under the burning of the Phoenix flames, the furnace's temperature rose at an extremely fast rate, quickly reaching the predetermined temperature.
Yun Ze raised his hand, and Soul Power formed an invisible large hand, lifting the furnace lid. Item after item of medicinal ingredients were taken out from his storage ring.
These had all been prepared by Bi Ji in advance, and he had already processed them. At this point, he could add them directly.
The medicinal ingredients entered the furnace in order, not all at once, but about one-third were added.
Clang The furnace lid closed, and Yun Ze began to refine these medicinal ingredients. From time to time, he would probe with his spiritual power to observe the mixing of the ingredients.
The most important thing in alchemy was spiritual power. In fact, the entire process required using spiritual power to control the fusion of the medicinal ingredients, without interruption.
Probing occasionally like Yun Ze did was something that ordinary alchemists wouldn't dare to do, because doing so resulted in an extremely high failure rate.
Yun Ze dared to do this, firstly because of his absolute confidence in his alchemy skills, and secondly out of necessity.
His current spiritual power was limited. If he were to probe continuously, he definitely wouldn't be able to bear the consumption, so he could only probe occasionally.
Level 21 Soul Power was ultimately a bit too little. Half an hour later, Yun Ze's Soul Power was exhausted, and Di Tian began to inject Soul Power to replenish him.
The Soul Power injected into his body was attribute-less and could be easily absorbed to replenish his own.
Di Tian's Soul Power was far, far more vast than Yun Ze's. Just injecting a little was enough to fill Yun Ze's Soul Power back up.
During this process, the flames Yun Ze outputted never weakened and remained stable.
The Transformation Pill wasn't a particularly high-level pill, and its refinement wasn't difficult. It was just that Yun Ze's current Soul Power was too low, so the refining efficiency wasn't high and it required some time.
Of course, this ease of refinement was relative. For Yun Ze, refining this pill was indeed very simple. For others, it was hard to say.
The refining process went very smoothly, but it was quite slow, taking a full five days to complete.
During this process, Di Tian continuously injected Soul Power into Yun Ze's body. By the fourth day, he even needed to inject it without interruption.
After Di Tian's Soul Power was exhausted, Bi Ji immediately took over. After her Soul Power was exhausted, Bear Lord took over.
The situation was exactly as Yun Ze had judged; the Soul Power of three peak-level beings was needed to meet the requirements for this alchemy session.
"Hoo," Yun Ze exhaled a breath of turbid air. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was pale. Five days of continuous alchemy had taken a toll on him.
If it weren't for his special physique, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. How could an ordinary six-year-old child go five days without sleep?
Moreover, during this process, he continuously consumed Soul Power, which was equivalent to working at high intensity for five days. Most people would have died suddenly by now.
"Open the furnace," Yun Ze said weakly. He was truly overdrawn and had no strength left to move.
He wasn't very satisfied with his body; it was too weak and couldn't withstand much strain.
"Okay," Di Tian said, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement. He strode forward to lift the furnace lid.
Gu Yue Na came to Yun Ze's side, looking at him with gratitude and concern. She asked, "Are you alright?"
Bi Ji had already begun injecting Soul Power into Yun Ze's body, using energy rich in vitality to help him recover.
"I'm fine. I just need to go back and get a good night's sleep," Yun Ze said, shaking his head.
Di Tian lifted the furnace lid, and a nine-colored cloud rose from the furnace. Instantly, the fragrance of the pills filled the air.
The pill fragrance, which had been completely sealed in the pill furnace before, made their pores open up, giving them a feeling of their souls being cleansed. They couldn't help but groan.
Even a powerhouse like Di Tian was affected by the pill fragrance, showing how extraordinary the pills in the furnace were.
Di Tian eagerly looked into the furnace. Scattered within were brown pills the size of longan fruits.
"Take them out with Soul Power," Yun Ze said, taking out two emerald jade bottles and throwing them to Di Tian.
Di Tian sheepishly withdrew the hand he had reached towards the pill furnace. With his other hand, he caught the two jade bottles and began using Soul Power to take out the pills and put them into the bottles.
While collecting them, he secretly counted the pills. There were exactly one hundred, no more, no less, consistent with the number Yun Ze had mentioned before.
"Try the effect," Yun Ze said to Di Tian, gesturing for him to eat one.
Gu Yue Na, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord all looked at Di Tian, waiting to see the effect after he ate the pill.
Over the years, Di Tian had some understanding of Yun Ze and didn't doubt his ability. Without hesitation, he took out a pill and swallowed it.
The pill melted upon entering his mouth, and the warm liquid flowed into his abdomen, then spread outwards from his abdomen to his limbs and bones.
Di Tian carefully felt the changes in his body. This feeling was very strange; his body seemed to be being reforged by the energy of the pill.
There was no pain, just a slight itch, the kind of itch that came from his flesh, blood, and internal organs, making it impossible to scratch.
After more than ten seconds, a nine-colored light shone on Di Tian's body. The clear sky instantly darkened, becoming pitch black, a suffocating blackness.
The nine-colored light illuminated Di Tian, allowing Yun Ze and the others to still see him. Behind him, blackness condensed, gradually forming the shape of a giant dragon.
That was a Black Dragon with a pair of golden eyes. That was Di Tian's true form, the Golden Eyed Black Dragon.
The next scene made Gu Yue Na, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord widen their eyes. They saw a red Soul Ring begin to rise from under Di Tian's feet.
That's right, it was a red Soul Ring, all red Soul Rings representing the hundred-thousand-year level. One, two... nine.
