Chapter 1623 : The Patriarch's Celestial Arsenal
Hearing this, everyone voiced no objections, as none of them could utilize these wind-attuned treasures anyway.
Seeing this, Eldrin Chen handed the Gale Wind Sun-Pursuing Arrow and the Gale Soul-Chasing Bow to Energy Abyss Chen.
Within the clan, aside from Eldrin Chen, Eastern Sovereign Patriarch possessed the most formidable physical body. Other than Eldrin Chen, only Eastern Sovereign could unleash the full potential of this set of lower-grade Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon.
Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen smiled faintly and said, "Henceforth, with this treasure in hand, Patriarch will surely be able to slay Half-Step Celestial Immortal and eliminate powerful foes for us."
Energy Abyss Chen did not immediately take the treasure. Instead, he shook his head and said, "This artifact's power is extraordinary. In your hands, it might unleash even greater might."
Eldrin Chen shook his head calmly and replied, "I have now cultivated several Mysterious Grade Divine Ability, each with power not inferior to a Primordial Unity Immortal Weapon."
"Furthermore, I already possess several Innate Treasure [treasures born from the primordial chaos, possessing immense innate power]. I cannot effectively wield any more artifacts. Moreover, once the Primordial One Indestructibility Body [a legendary physique said to be unbreakable and eternal] is fully cultivated, this item will be of little further use to me."
Hearing his words, the others nodded in agreement.
Currently, the constraint on Eldrin Chen's strength no longer lay in treasures or Divine Ability [supernatural powers cultivated by immortals]. It rested more on his slightly insufficient magical power [the refined energy cultivated and stored within a practitioner's body].
After the Innate Primordial One Indestructibility Physique was fully cultivated, the most critical step would be the transformation of the Primordial One Limitless Rule into the Primordial One Limitless Path Principle. This content originates from audi novel.com. Please respect copyright.
With this thought, Eastern Sovereign gripped the Gale Soul-Chasing Bow [a divine bow capable of pursuing the very soul of its target], his eyes gleaming with a faint light as he spoke.
"With this treasure in hand, I will surely be able to slay powerful foes."
Henceforth, with this set of treasures, Nyssa Qu's Slaughter [a divine ability focused on pure, overwhelming destruction] power would see significant enhancement, granting her another trump card potent enough to annihilate even those with a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation [a cultivation foundation forged by merging two distinct Primordial Unity Path Principles].
Watching as Nyssa Qu stored the treasures, Eldrin Chen then turned his gaze to the remaining items.
The Gale Grotto-Heaven [a pocket realm suffused with the power of wind] held two types of Primordial Unity Rare Treasure [rare materials of immense value, formed at the Primordial Unity realm]: Primordial Unity Immortal [the Immortal realm corresponding to the Primordial Unity stage] medicines and Primordial Unity Rare Treasure. Among them were five stalks of Primordial Unity Immortal medicine and three portions of Primordial Unity Rare Treasure.
All three portions of Primordial Unity Rare Treasure were wind-attribute treasures, which held little direct use for Eldrin Chen. They could only be used to trade for other treasures at a future Barter Convention [a grand gathering where cultivators exchange rare items].
The five stalks of Primordial Unity Immortal medicine consisted of two Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit [a legendary fruit that can aid in breaking through to the Primordial Unity Immortal realm], one stalk of Wind Soul Grass, one stalk of Heaven Source Fruit, and one stalk of Soul-Returning Grass.
Among these five medicinal herbs, the value of the Primordial Unity Immortal Fruit was truly inestimable; its worth needed no elaboration.
However, the Primordial Unity Wind Soul Grass was a wind-attribute Primordial Unity Rare Treasure. It was said that the Primordial Unity Wind-Soul Pill [a supreme pill refined from Wind Soul Grass, capable of aiding wind-attribute cultivators in comprehending the Wind Soul Path Principle] concocted from this herb could assist wind-attribute beings in comprehending a Primordial Unity Path Principle [a fundamental law of the cosmos that forms the core of a Primordial Unity cultivator's power].
For a wind-attribute Half-Step Celestial Immortal [a cultivator who has half-stepped into the Celestial Immortal realm] who has already forged a Dual Primordial Unity Foundation, obtaining such a pill could even increase their chances of achieving a breakthrough to a Triple Primordial Unity Foundation [an even more profound and powerful foundation forged from three Path Principles] by one-tenth.
The Heavenly Origin Fruit can be refined into the Ninth Rank Heavenly Origin Pill. This pill contains a wisp of Heavenly Path Origin power [the fundamental creative energy of the cosmos] and can help a first-level Celestial Immortal [an immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] recover half of their spiritual energy. Its refinement difficulty is also not high.
The Ninth Rank Soul-Returning Herb is a supreme treasure for healing injuries. It is said that the Primordial Unity Soul-Returning Pill refined from it can cure nearly all injuries below the Celestial Immortal realm.
However, Eldrin Chen possesses the Primordial Energy Vase of Heaven and Earth [a legendary vase that condenses the primordial energies of creation], and the Innate Spiritual Water [water imbued with the purest spiritual energy from the dawn of creation] it nurtures has an even better effect. Therefore, Eldrin Chen did not plan to keep this herb.
Looking at these precious items, he said with a smile, "Since they cultivated these treasures, they likely have the corresponding Elixir Formula [a detailed recipe and method for refining a specific pill] in their collection."
As he spoke, Eldrin Chen searched through the Gale Grotto-Heaven [a pocket dimension suffused with gale-force spiritual winds] and indeed discovered the Elixir Formula for the Primordial Unity Wind-Soul Pill, the Primordial Unity Heavenly Source Pill, and the Primordial Unity Soul-Returning Pill.
Eldrin Chen collected the several Elixir Formula and then said joyfully, "There are still four thousand years until the Barter Convention [a grand gathering where cultivators trade rare resources]. I shall attempt to see if I can advance to the Ninth Rank Alchemist [the pinnacle rank for pill refinement masters] realm."
Having said this, Eldrin Chen stored away the several stalks of Immortal Herb [plants of immense age and spiritual potency used in high-level alchemy].
After dividing the treasures, the group resealed the Gale Grotto-Heaven and quietly returned to the Returning Abyss Blessed Land [a land blessed by natural spiritual energies, often a cultivation base].
Upon arriving at the Returning Abyss Blessed Land, Eldrin Chen discovered that the Primordial Solar Five Elements Blessed Land [a blessed land harmonizing solar and elemental energies] had already transformed into a Five Elements Grotto-Heaven [a self-contained pocket dimension perfectly balanced with the powers of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth]. A wave of pleasant surprise washed over him.
"The birth of this Five Elements Grotto-Heaven has arrived even sooner than I imagined."
"With two additional Innate Ancient Tree [ancient trees born from the primordial essence of heaven and earth], the progress can naturally be accelerated somewhat."
Heavenly Path Will [the sentient will of the Heavenly Path, a supreme cosmic consciousness] spoke calmly, clearly also pleased by the advancement of the Grotto-Heaven [a self-contained pocket dimension and paradise for cultivation].
Seeing this, Eldrin Chen spoke up: "I wish to open the alchemical furnace to refine several batches of Ninth Rank [the ninth and highest tier of cultivation realms] Precious Pill [pills of immense value and power]. I would ask for your assistance."
"Agreed."
Heavenly Path Will responded, stimulating the Fire Vein [a subterranean channel of concentrated fire-element spiritual energy] within the Primordial Solar Five Elements Grotto-Heaven [a grotto-heaven imbued with the primordial essence of the sun and the five elements] to its absolute limit.
Witnessing this, Eldrin Chen immediately retrieved the Heavenly Source Fruit. As a Ninth Rank Immortal Pill [a supreme pill capable of restoring an immortal's spiritual energy], the Primordial Unity Heavenly Source Pill [a pill forged from the unified essence of heaven and the primordial source] possessed the lowest difficulty to refine among all Ninth Rank Immortal Pill, making it the optimal choice for a breakthrough in Ninth Rank Alchemy [the pinnacle art of pill refinement].

With the aid of the Heavenly Path [the supreme cultivation art representing the will of the cosmos], it was almost equivalent to having a Celestial Immortal Great Power [a mighty being who has ascended to the Celestial Immortal realm] assisting in stoking the furnace flames. The speed at which the Heavenly Source Fruit was refined was astonishingly fast.
In merely eight hundred years, the Heavenly Source Fruit was dissolved, transformed into the purest essence of the Spirit Herb [a herb infused with potent spiritual energy].
"It is almost ready."
Gazing upon the essence of the Heavenly Source Fruit, Eldrin Chen spoke softly.
As the most supreme Immortal Pill [a pill of legendary power and rarity] beneath the Innate [the highest known realm of cultivation] realm, a Ninth Rank Immortal Pill can already be considered a rare treasure seldom seen in the world.
Even a place like the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [a sacred realm of immense power], an Upper Grade Grotto-Heaven [a top-tier sacred realm], might not successfully refine more than a few furnaces of pills at this level over a span of a million years, illustrating just how precious such Immortal Pills are.
To refine such a supreme Immortal Pill, the ordinary Immortal Artifacts [enchanted tools of great power] and Spirit Herbs [plants imbued with spiritual energy] of the world are unworthy of serving as supplementary ingredients, for they would only taint the pristine spiritual nature of the Ninth Rank Immortal Herb [a herb of the highest possible grade].
Therefore, to concoct this grade of Immortal Pill, one must gather the Polarity [the fundamental opposing forces of the cosmos] and Five Elements Energy [the refined essence of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth] from heaven and earth, drawing upon the power of Heavenly Path Origin [the primordial source energy of the cosmos] to fuse within, so they may serve as the crucial supplementary materials.
At this moment, Eldrin Chen began the final process of condensing the pill.
A dazzling, peerless radiance erupted between heaven and earth.
The entire Primordial Solar Five Elements Grotto-Heaven [a sacred realm embodying the primal sun and the five elements] began to glow, releasing boundless Primordial Solar [pertaining to the primal sun] Five Elements Energy, which converged into streams of Five-Colored [a descriptor for something imbued with the hues of the five elements] energy that flew into the cauldron.
From the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realms], Primordial Solar Energy [the essence of the primal sun] descended, while from the depths of the Nine Nether Abysses [the deepest netherworld realms], Netherworld Energy [the essence of the underworld] surged upwards, ultimately meeting and flowing together into the pill furnace.
"*Hummmmm—*"
No one could tell how much time had passed when, abruptly, the light within the pill furnace trembled violently before finally settling back into profound stillness.
Eldrin Chen slowly lowered his gaze, his expression one of profound solemnity as he opened the alchemical furnace. Only then did he discover that two Immortal Pill [a supreme-grade pill of immense spiritual potency] were boiling and rising within the vessel.
"Two pills from a single cauldron."
Gazing at the furnace, Eldrin Chen murmured softly, a trace of a smile finally touching the depths of his eyes.
To produce two pills on his very first attempt at crafting a Ninth Rank Immortal Pill was, by any measure, a remarkable feat.
Generally speaking, for the vast majority of Immortal Pill, a yield of three pills per batch would yield a modest profit. Any yield below three would result in a loss.
Although this batch of two pills still represented a financial loss, one could not view the matter from such a narrow perspective.
While crafting Ninth Rank Immortal Pill might incur a loss, the breakthrough in his alchemical arts to the Ninth Rank level would dramatically increase his success rate when refining Eighth-Rank Pill [a high-grade spiritual pill].
Eldrin Chen knew that if he were to attempt refining the Eighth Rank Supreme Grade Immortal Pill now, his pill formation rate would see a monumental improvement.
With this thought firm in his mind, Eldrin Chen immediately retrieved the Heaven Trigram Pure Energy [a refined, celestial energy of pure Yang] and the Netherworld Turbid Energy [a dense, earthly energy of pure Yin], and began the process of crafting the Pill of Polarity Enlightenment [a pill that harmonizes opposing forces to grant profound insights].
As expected, Eldrin Chen's pill formation rate had indeed soared to new heights. This time, he successfully refined a full six Pill of Polarity Enlightenment.
