Chapter 1420 : Exchanging Dan Books, Lighting the Furnace for Alchemy

"Yes."

The Violet Flame Immortal deeply resonated with this sentiment and could not help but let out a soft sigh as she said.

By a stroke of fate, he obtained this alchemy manual and used its many exclusive formulas to generate considerable profits.

Yet over these years, the vast majority of the elixirs she refined were mostly seventh-rank or lower-grade eighth-rank pills, with even mid-grade eighth-rank elixirs being scarcely produced.

Most of the Earth Immortal elders who came seeking her alchemical services only requested the refinement of mid to low-grade Rank-8 elixirs.

Most true eighth-grade high-tier elixirs are sought from those quasi-ninth-grade alchemists.

Even if someone obtained the Dry Heaven Pneuma and Netherworld Turbid Qi, they would directly seek out celestial immortals within the grotto-heavens to refine them, never commissioning her to concoct the Yin-Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object).

Although her alchemy skills had already reached the level where she could attempt to become a quasi-Ninth Rank Alchemist, who would take such a risk and entrust an incomparably precious supreme Eighth Rank exotic treasure to her?

Not to mention, handing the materials over to a ninth-rank alchemist not only carried far less risk but also promised a higher success rate for the finished pill. Why would anyone refuse such an arrangement?

Even if this meant paying exorbitant fees to a Ninth-rank Alchemist, securing at least 1 precious pill would ultimately offer greater assurance.

Eldrin pondered for a moment before attempting to negotiate. "Among these alchemy recipes, gathering ingredients for the most precious few treasured pills is likely impossible. You should add some extra incentives."

Violetblaze Immortal Fairy gave a faint, bitter smile and could not help but remark with resignation, "Though that may be true, this Alchemy Scripture is, after all, an extraordinary legacy."

"Even if you cannot gather all the spiritual herbs required for the alchemy formula, obtaining it would still greatly enhance your pill refinement skills."

At this point, she paused thoughtfully before concluding, "How about utilizing the Fire Vein this time? I can lend it to you free of charge. What do you think?" "Very well."

Eldrin nodded slightly and said no more.

Having exchanged the dragon pearl for this scroll of alchemy recipes, Eldrin did not delay and immediately entered the seclusion chamber.

This time, he came alone to forge the treasure, without bringing Lyra (Person Name).

The fundamental reason lies in the fact that as 1's cultivation base gradually advances, elevating the higher-tier 100 Arts of the Immortal Path becomes increasingly arduous.

Reaching the Eighth Stage, advancing further in the arts of alchemy and artifact forging requires not only exceptional talent but also an exceedingly prolonged period of time.

Materials for crafting artifacts and alchemy above the eighth rank were far too precious. Any single 1 of them was a primordial treasure worth 100,000 immortal origins—far too extravagant to be used for practice.

Within the immortal realms, countless Earth Immortal elders, having dedicated millions or even tens of millions of years to mastering just 1 discipline among the 100 Arts of Cultivation, may still fail to elevate it to the mid-Eighth Stage realm.

Although Lyra (Person Name) possessed extraordinary talent, elevating all 100 schools of cultivation to such a level within a mere 100-some 1000 years remained an immensely arduous endeavor.

Moreover, 1 cannot make bricks without straw. The key lies in cultivating higher-level skills with limited resources.

Within the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), the several Earth Immortals (Cultivation Realm) each specialized in different branches of the 100 Arts of Cultivation (Domain).

Among them, Eldrin (Person Name) possessed the greatest talent and primarily focused on alchemy and artifact refinement. He took away most of the materials suitable for crafting artifacts from the several Earth Immortal-level demon progenitors.

Moreover, formations and artifacts are 2 sides of the same coin. Eldrin (Person Name), being the highest-level artifact forger in the clan, was also its most skilled formation master.

Lyra (Person Name) took the Earth Immortal Patriarch's hide, enough to tan nearly a 100 eighth-tier talisman papers, intending to specialize in talisman-crafting.

Qing Ji took charge of researching spiritual plant cultivation techniques, experimenting with nurturing various spiritual roots and medicinal herbs within the clan.

Seraphina Qu was tasked with raising various spirit clams, spirit beasts, and spirit fish. Her aura was gentle and serene, and she possessed an innate ability to communicate with these lower-intelligence spiritual creatures, making her the most suitable candidate for the role.

Both Yan Zi Ji and Lila (Person Name) had their specialized expertise, each selecting a distinct discipline from the 100 Arts of Cultivation to master.

Among them, Yan Ziji had already delved into the art of weaving immortal garments. This technique could craft the Seraphina Qu (Immortal Garment), which not only possessed defensive capabilities comparable to peerless treasures of the same rank but was also exquisitely beautiful, showcasing a grace that could outshine generations.

In the celestial realms, every goddess cherished a 1-of-a-kind celestial gown—Seraphina Qu (Person Name).

Countless female immortals, in hopes of obtaining a 1-of-a-kind celestial garment—Seraphina Qu (Person Name)—would not hesitate to place extravagant orders hundreds of thousands of years in advance.

Lila (Person Name) cultivated the Art of Frostsoul Sword Tempering, capable of harnessing the power of extreme cold frostsoul principles to purge impurities from immortal swords and magical treasures, thereby enhancing the might of these celestial artifacts.

Of course, as Earth Immortal Patriarchs, they had delved into various paths of cultivation beyond their specialized domains. Take Eldrin (Person Name) for instance—he possessed remarkable mastery not only in alchemy, formation arrays, artifact forging, and talisman crafting, but also demonstrated profound expertise in celestial divination, beast taming, spiritual plant cultivation, and countless other auxiliary arts of cultivation.

Though they could not compare to those who specialized in alchemy and artifact forging, their skills in these fields still reached at least the 7th Tier. Even the lifelong dedication of ordinary immortals to a single craft might not surpass their proficiency in these secondary disciplines.

After all, having reached their level of cultivation, looking back to comprehend the low-tier 100 Arts of Cultivation was like viewing a city from a high tower—everything lay clearly within sight.

With even a modicum of talent, comprehension would naturally follow as smoothly as water flowing in its course.

Getting back to the story, Eldrin entered the artifact refinement chamber. After briefly sensing the energy flowing through the fire vein, he gave a slight nod of approval. The fire elemental power contained within this vein could rival the true flame of a Perfected Earth Immortal—more than sufficient for forging upper-grade Heaven-Opening Treasures.

In truth, Eldrin's Primordial Sunfire of Chaos would have been sufficient to forge a superior Heaven-Opening Treasure. Yet, his spiritual power remained somewhat lacking,

Forging high-grade materials is also exceptionally taxing on 1's spiritual power.

Moreover, his artifact forging skills were not yet proficient, which was precisely why he had come here to utilize the blessed land's fire vein—to increase his chances of successfully crafting a treasure.

Now that he had the fire vein, Eldrin did not delay any further.

He first retrieved the materials from 3 early-stage Earth Immortal realm demons—2 True Dragons and 1 Celestial Alligator.

Within the remains of these 3 Earth Immortal realm demon beasts, the materials of use to the Sky Crocodile Clan were the flesh and blood, hides, and bones.

The leather was given to Lyra (Person Name), leaving only the bones and flesh behind from what Eldrin (Person Name) had left.

Eldrin refined the flesh and blood essence into a single cauldron of '4 Revolutions Immortal Pill', then set the bones aside separately.

The 2 true dragons, however, were entirely different. Every part of a dragon’s body was a treasure—dragon blood, dragon flesh, dragon liver, and dragon heart were all rare ingredients for alchemy, while dragon scales, dragon horns, dragon eyes, dragon sinews, and dragon bones were all top-tier materials for forging magical treasures.

Eldrin reserved the dragon blood for cultivating Dragon Blood Fruits, refined the dragon flesh as usual into Blood-Flesh Treasure Pills, treasured the dragon liver for celestial banquets, and alchemized the dragon heart into 2 cauldrons of eighth-rank Dragon Transformation Elixirs.

The Dragon Ascension Pill could purify the bloodline within demonic creatures, making it a supreme treasure for dragon-kindred beings. Eldrin estimated that if it were placed in an auction, countless individuals would eagerly compete to acquire it.

The dragon scales and sinews were fused by Eldrin (Person Name) with numerous immortal metals and divine materials, forged into 2 sets of World-Creating Divine Armor. The dragon horns and eyes were likewise refined by him into 2 Ancient True Dragon Swords.
