Chapter 882: Spirit Void Pill
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Yao’s mouth was also agape, and her lively eyes were filled with shock.
Mr. Ye had never been here before, right?
Why were there two people with n.o.ble statuses protecting him?
Sympathy? Or was it because of Mr. Ye’s alchemy talent?
While everyone was shocked, Old Fang and Old Yang looked at each other and forced out a drop of blood essence.
Then, the sealed door of the Core Tower opened.
The two of them looked at Ye Chen and said respectfully, “Please enter!”
When Daoist Nanxuan saw this scene, he became extremely furious and took a step forward as he roared, “You two! How dare you overstep your authority while Alchemy Master Ling Yi is not around! If I report this matter to the higher-ups and Alchemy Master Ling Yi, do you realize what the consequences will be?”
Old Yang’s pupils constricted, and his killing intent surged into the sky. He held his sword aloft and charged at Daoist Nanxuan!
“Weren’t my words clear enough? Since you took a step forward, you have to pay the price!”
His sword flashed repeatedly, and every sword strike was aimed at vital points!
It was then that Daoist Nanxuan realized the seriousness of the matter. He hurriedly blocked the attacks and, at the same time, he got the experts behind him to join forces.
Old Yang was naturally no match for those numbers, so Old Fang quickly glanced at the confused Ye Chen and said, “Milord, go inside in peace. Alchemy Master Ling Yi will arrive soon. Before that, no one will dare to touch you!”
Ye Chen instantly figured out what was going on.
It seemed that the Alchemy Master Ling Yi that these two people mentioned was the person that Lin Qingxuan had asked him to find…
Ling Yuan!
He no longer hesitated. He nodded and stepped inside the door. At the same time, Old Fang’s fingers formed a seal, and the door was closed and sealed.
Then, he grabbed his saber, turned around, and joined the fray.
No one would have thought that after a thousand years, there would be a battle between the gatekeepers of the Core Tower and the guardians!
Ye Chen went inside and found himself in a pitch-black s.p.a.ce. He could not even see his fingers.
How could he walk forward if he could not see the path?
Just as he was about to activate the Immortal Flames, his surroundings suddenly lit up, and his nostrils were a.s.saulted by the fragrance of pills.
It was a very vast s.p.a.ce.
From the outside, the Core Tower did not seem big, but this was not the case once one was inside.
It was indeed an ancient treasure.
There was also a cauldron in the center, which looked a little strange. It appeared that a part of it had been sliced off by a sword.
While Ye Chen was feeling puzzled, Little Gold’s body began to tremble.
Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly placed Little Gold on the ground and channeled his true qi into his fingertips, transmitting it into Little Gold’s body.
After that, Little Gold finally felt better and opened its eyes.
“Little Gold, how do you feel? How did this happen?”
Little Gold struggled to get up, but realized that it was impossible. It simply lay on the ground and explained, “Just now, I surpa.s.sed my limits and used a portion of power that doesn’t belong to me.”
“However, it’s not a big deal. You don’t have to worry.”
Ye Chen shook his head and said seriously,” How can I not be worried? Since you know the reason, you should have a solution, right? Tell me quickly!”
Little Gold hesitated as it looked at the damaged cauldron.
It let out a long sigh and said, “There is indeed a way to treat my injuries in the Core Tower. The damaged cauldron over there is sealing a layer of energy beneath it. If you move it, I’ll be able to absorb it and use it to recover.”
“However, that cauldron isn’t an ordinary one.”
Ye Chen stood up, and immediately walked toward the cauldron.He looked at the patterns on the cauldron, and could immediately tell that it was extraordinary.
He subconsciously reached out his hand and grabbed the cauldron. Just as he was about to move it, a terrifying force surged out of the cauldron, which promptly sent him flying!
He was already injured, so this further compounded his injuries.
He swallowed a few pills and circulated the Nine Heaven Arcane Sun technique to adjust his condition. After some time, he finally felt better.
He approached the cauldron once again, but this time he did not touch it. Instead, he drew the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword.
The power of divine lightning coiled around the sword, and he unleashed a mighty slash!
Clang!
The sound waves that rippled out from the collision made Ye Chen’s head feel like bursting.
Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
After two failures, Ye Chen was not in a hurry to make another attempt. Instead, he stared at the cauldron and observed his surroundings.
Since he was in the Core Tower, he definitely should avoid relying on force to resolve matters. Rather, it was better to approach this problem by using alchemy.
However, without any hints, how could he refine the right pills?
Ye Chen glanced at Little Gold and realized that it was still in pain.
He gritted his teeth, and the Immortal Flames condensed and enveloped the entire cauldron!
The cauldron instantly turned red. At the same time, Ye Chen felt an obscure line of text appear in his mind. Once that appeared, he realized that to pa.s.s this level, he had to refine a Spirit Void Pill!
However, to refine the Spirit Void Pill, he had to use the surrounding spiritual energy of the world.
Ye Chen almost cursed. What kind of test was this?!
This was too reckless.
However, Ye Chen also knew that many people had pa.s.sed this level. It was also the lowest level, so it was clearly a test used to separate true alchemists from the fake ones.
He did not hesitate any longer. He sat cross-legged and controlled the cauldron while gathering the surrounding spiritual energy toward the cauldron, creating a storm of spiritual energy above the cauldron.
The first time, failure!
The third time, he still failed!
While Ye Chen was refining for the twelfth time, a soft hum was heard from the cauldron, and a white pill appeared.
Looking closely, the surface of the pill looked more like jade. Clearly, it was the Spirit Void Pill!
“Who was the one who came up with this test? I actually only managed to refine it after twelve times,” Ye Chen cursed and muttered.
However, what Ye Chen did not know was that although there were many people who had successfully refined the Spirit Void Pill on this level, the best among them only succeeded after 50 attempts, which far eclipsed the 12 attempts he made.
At the same time, outside the Core Tower, the battle raged on.
Old Yang and Old Fang had never fought like this in a thousand years, so they were actually enjoying themselves.
Although there were many wounds on their bodies, they did not frown even once!
They even forced Daoist Nanxuan to retreat.
However, just as the battle was getting intense, a sound suddenly rang out from the Core Tower, and then a dazzling red light flashed on the dragon pattern surrounding the first level.
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and stared.
This meant that someone had pa.s.sed the first level’s test and advanced!
Pa.s.sing this level meant nothing under normal circ.u.mstances.
However, it was impossible to clear it within such a short period of time.
Old Fang retracted his saber and looked at Old Yang. He asked, “How long has he been in there?”
Old Yang’s lips trembled slightly as he said uncertainty, “It felt like less than ten minutes…”
