Chapter 1421 : Upper Grade 8 Rank Alchemy
After exhausting all the materials from the 3 Earth Immortal realm demons, Eldrin obtained 3 cauldrons of 4 Revolutions Immortal Pills, 2 cauldrons of Dragon Transformation Immortal Pills, along with 2 sets of Heaven-Splitting Treasure Armor and 2 Heaven-Splitting Ancient Swords.
"Not bad at all."
As several treasures were successfully forged, Eldrin felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.
This time, crafting several lower-grade Heaven-Opening Treasures didn’t feel overly taxing to him. He sensed that his skills in artifact forging and alchemy had likely reached the mid-eighth tier. With this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) wasted no time and began processing the materials from the 2 mid-stage Earth Immortal realm demonic cultivators.
That day, the Earth Immortal of the Crocodile Clan was only at the fourth level of Earth Immortality. Eldrin (Person Name) proceeded as usual, setting the bones aside and refining them into a cauldron of 5-Cycle Transcendent Elixir.
Perhaps his alchemy skills were slightly lacking, or perhaps the flesh and blood energy of the Sky Crocodile tribe was insufficient—this time, Eldrin (Person Name) only managed to refine a single Flesh and Blood Treasure Elixir.
However, Eldrin felt no regret, for within the 9 Revolutions Immortal Pills, the 5 Revolutions Pill corresponded to the middle stage of the eighth rank.
The energy contained within this pill was immensely vast, proving to be of considerable benefit even to Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body. It could slightly advance the cultivation progress of his Primordial Immortal Body.
After processing the Sky Crocodile Clan's flesh and blood, Eldrin then refined a batch of 5 Revolutions Golden Pills using dragon meat. With this batch, Eldrin finally felt the alchemical process flowing smoothly, successfully producing 3 5 Revolutions Golden Pills.
"A single cauldron yielding 3 pills—it is time to attempt the alchemy of the eighth-tier, superior grade."
Eldrin murmured inwardly, a faint sigh of relief escaping him. This time, he possessed 2 complete sets of alchemical ingredients—1 from the Sky Crocodile Patriarch and another from the Wei Sea Dragon Lord—sufficient to refine 2 batches of 6-Revolutions Immortal Pills.
With a full 2 opportunities for pill concoction, Eldrin sensed he had considerable confidence to attempt a breakthrough.
Yet he did not immediately attempt the breakthrough. First, he refined the Dragon Heart into a cauldron of Dragon Transformation Elixir (Immortal Pill). Relying on the supreme control granted by his Primordial Chaos Unending Dao Fruit (Dao Fruit), he once again stabilized the success rate at precisely 30%. Only then did he feel a slight sense of reassurance.
He then continued his artifact forging, successfully crafting a set of Chaos-Breaking Battle Armor and a True Dragon War Halberd, both at the mid-grade eighth-tier. Only then did he slowly release a breath of relief.
Afterward, Eldrin rested in the artifact refinement chamber for 1 full sexagenary cycle, only beginning to forge the precious elixir after his magical power had fully recovered to its peak.
Eldrin carefully retrieved the dragon flesh of the Weihai Dragon Lord and, with utmost reverence, placed it into the alchemy cauldron. He then began refining this precious pill with unwavering focus.
Harnessing the power of earthfire, Eldrin (Person Name) forged continuously for hundreds of years.
No 1 knew how much time had passed when his expression suddenly shifted. A faint tremor of light flickered within the pill furnace as the essence of flesh and blood ultimately transformed into scattered ashes.
"What a pity."
Gazing at the alchemical cauldron before him, Eldrin let out a faint sigh.
With a cultivation base at the First Level of Earth Immortal, refining a supreme-grade eighth-rank treasure pill proved rather arduous, especially since this was his first attempt at mastering eighth-rank supreme-grade alchemy.
However, Eldrin did not hesitate for long before retrieving the flesh and blood essence of the Heavenly Crocodile Patriarch once more.
He knew full well that the late-stage Earth Immortal realm was a major threshold; once he crossed it, his alchemy skills would see a tremendous improvement.
From now on, when refining mid to low-grade eighth-rank pills, the success rate would see a tremendous improvement.
Among the eighth-grade superior elixirs, the 6 Revolutions Immortal Elixir was considered the least difficult to refine. Given that the Sky Crocodile Patriarch, an Earth Immortal (Cultivation Realm) of the eighth level, possessed immensely potent flesh and blood energy, it was worth attempting the refinement.
With this thought in mind, Eldrin placed the flesh and blood essence of the Sky Crocodile Patriarch into the alchemy furnace, beginning the refinement process with utmost solemnity.
At this very moment, his heart grew incomparably solemn.
He knew full well that an eighth-grade, superior-tier material was exceptionally rare. If this batch was wasted again, succeeding with the even more challenging Dragon Ascension Elixir would be utterly impossible.
Under such circumstances, it was highly likely that Eldrin's alchemy skills would struggle to advance further for hundreds of thousands of years to come.
Proceed with caution, maintaining total focus.
Eldrin gathered his entire focus, channeling his power through the Primordial Chaos Undying Dao Fruit to precisely control both the flame intensity and the fleshly essence energy.
No 1 knew how much time had passed, but at last, a faint glow emerged from the alchemy cauldron, ultimately releasing a dazzlingly brilliant treasure pill.
6 Revolutions Immortal Elixir.
Eldrin's heart trembled with sudden elation, his face instantly lighting up with unrestrained joy.
The energy contained within the Zhuanxian Dan was immensely vast. It was said that even a late-stage Earth Immortal Patriarch, upon consuming this pill, would experience a tremendous enhancement in their physical body.
At that moment, the possibility of him achieving the perfected Great Perfection of the Primordial Chaos True Body would increase by over 30 percent.
Eldrin's Primordial Immortal Body was immensely powerful, already comparable to the perfected Open Heaven True Body of an ordinary Earth Immortal. Under the state of Trinity Unification, its power even surpassed that of the perfected Open Heaven True Body possessed by most late-stage Earth Immortals.
Under such circumstances, it was exceedingly difficult for his physical body to advance any further. However, according to Eldrin's estimation, consuming this pill would enhance his physical strength by an additional 5 percent.
You must understand that Eldrin's Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body was inherently formidable. Once fully perfected, it should be comparable to the Great Empyrean Immortal Physique.
However, cultivating such a Primal Chaos True Body to its peak was an exceedingly arduous endeavor.
An ordinary Primordial Chaos True Body would almost certainly reach the Great Perfection Realm after consuming 2 or 3 6 Revolutions Immortal Pills, yet Eldrin required at least 10 times that amount.
Moreover, it not only required an immense amount of resources to strengthen the chaotic origin of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, but also necessitated cultivation to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm to break through that bottleneck.
At this thought, Eldrin shook his head and said, "If I could obtain 20-some Sixth Revolution Immortal Pills, my Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body might barely reach the threshold to attempt a breakthrough to the Great Perfection stage."
"It's a pity that the Grade-6 Immortal Elixir is extremely difficult to refine, and each batch requires slaying a single Earth Immortal Realm Late Stage demonic immortal." "Within the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi (Mystical Realm), the combined number of Late Stage Earth Immortals from all races amounts to fewer than 1,000 individuals. Among them, only just over 3 100 are demonic immortals, and many of those possess extraordinary backgrounds."
"Gathering enough 6 Revolutions Immortal Pills is easier said than done," Eldrin murmured softly, a faint sigh escaping his heart.
This Primordial Chaos Immortal Body is indeed formidable. Once cultivated to perfection, it could rival the Great Immortal Physique. However, the resources it consumes are truly staggering. Unless a great calamity descends or under the most extraordinary circumstances, who would dare to slay over 20 late-stage Earth Immortals in succession?
Even a half-step Celestial Immortal would find it incredibly difficult to accomplish such a feat. After all, Earth Immortals at the late stage typically possess extraordinary survival capabilities—if they focus entirely on fleeing, eliminating them would be no easy task.
Not to mention, within the immortal realms, there existed unwritten rules. Even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal could not act with impunity. In fact, even a true Celestial Immortal—a mighty figure of immense power—would face retribution from stronger experts if they overstepped their bounds.
At this thought, Eldrin couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.
"For the Primordial Immortal Body to reach perfection, relying solely on the 6 Revolutions Immortal Elixir remains insufficient. Only through the combined use of Jade Marrow Golden Shoots and various potent immortal herbs and elixirs can 1 truly master the supreme path."
He stowed away the 6 Revolutions Immortal Elixir and retrieved the Dragon Heart to continue his alchemy.
