Chapter 410: Chapter 253: The First Alchemy Master (Extended Chapter)

"Fortunately, ample preparations were made..."

The battle had ended, and the Vermilion Transformation Furnace was firmly under Li An’s control. Li An couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

The Vermilion Transformation Furnace had many trump cards, and its life-bound magic treasure was extremely powerful. If it weren’t for the fact that Li An had been applying Blood Gu and poison to it over the past half year, things might have been very troublesome for him.

Even if the Vermilion Transformation Furnace couldn’t defeat Li An, it could have easily escaped!

"Master of Great Profound... have you gone mad?"

Vermilion Transformation Furnace lay on the ground, trembling all over, incredulously staring at Li An and saying, "You’re alone, you can’t possibly successfully refine the Human Returning Pill!"

Why would he trust Master of Great Profound? Because they were essentially partners in mutual interest!

Even when they acquired the method for refining Human Returning Pills, they immediately divided it, each taking half, requiring both of them to work together to complete the pill.

Now that Master of Great Profound had attacked him, even if he managed to seize the principal ingredients, what could he do? Without his half of the alchemical technique, Master of Great Profound would be helpless too.

Unless he could rediscover the complete method for refining the Human Returning Pill, otherwise it would be futile.

As long as he kept silent, the method for refining the Human Returning Pill, being highly confidential, Master of Great Profound might never find it in his lifetime.

As for Soul Searching? Both being Nascent Soul cultivators, if Master of Great Profound dared to search his soul, the outcome would be uncertain.

Therefore, he couldn’t understand!

But Li An merely chuckled at the mention of the Human Returning Pill?

Sorry, he wasn’t interested in the Human Returning Pill at all, but rather in other Fifth Grade Spirit Medicines on Vermilion Transformation Furnace.

While the Human Returning Pill was indeed precious, it was much less effective compared to the Celestial Life Pill and had significant risks during the breakthrough to Divinity Transformation... truly a last resort.

Unless it was the very last moment, Li An would not consider using such a thing.

He had a long lifespan now, with plenty of time to accumulate resources!

Facing the curses of Master of Great Profound, Li An said nothing, directly gripping Master of Great Profound’s throat, turning him into a blood puppet.

At the same time, he began searching through Master of Great Profound’s Divine Soul memory and the like.

After all, the fact that Master of Great Profound could obtain a drop of Divinity Transformation Essence Blood from an Evil Cultivator suggested there might be other significant secrets that needed to be fully grasped.

...

Much later.

The Vermilion Transformation Furnace, like Gao Tai, had become one of Li An’s blood puppets.

These former "companions" who had once plotted to use the lives of Nascent Soul cultivators to refine the Human Returning Pill, now gathered together, each turned into puppets by Li An, was indeed quite the twist of fate.

"The Divinity Transformation Essence Blood is indeed from an Evil Cultivator, but it doesn’t originate from one, rather from someone named Luo Ai..."

The Vermilion Transformation Furnace had a deep connection with a cultivator named Luo Ai, who frequently came to request the Vermilion Transformation Furnace to refine some obscure pills. It was from Luo Ai that the Vermilion Transformation Furnace received the Divinity Transformation Essence Blood.

Moreover, Luo Ai also had a demand; he wanted a share of this batch of Human Returning Pills!

"This Luo Ai seems very much like a member of the Paradise Sect, and he even mentioned to the Vermilion Transformation Furnace that he was getting close to a female cultivator named Zhan Qingyu. Last time, he sought the Vermilion Transformation Furnace to refine Desire-Promoting Pills and Bone Marrow Stealing Pills..."

Li An pondered, suddenly noticing something—Zhan Qingxuan, Zhan Qingyu... could this Zhan Qingyu possibly be Zhan Qingxuan’s sister?

It’s quite possible indeed!

If Zhan Qingyu were indeed Zhan Qingxuan’s sister, her position within the Evil Cultivator faction would certainly not be low, making it perfectly normal that she could obtain a drop of Divinity Transformation Essence Blood to give to Luo Ai...

"Aside from top figures like Lin Xianxian, whose every move is captivating and soul-stirring, ordinary disciples of the Paradise Sect still need external aids. Desire-Promoting Pills and Bone Marrow Stealing Pills are commonly used items; the Desire-Promoting Pill serves to invoke one’s deepest desires, while the Bone Marrow Stealing Pill catalyzes the essence and cultivation of both parties during moments of ecstasy..."

"But he had too many of those Bone Marrow Stealing Pills made; the Vermilion Transformation Furnace refined over a dozen for him last time..."

"Consuming so many Bone Marrow Stealing Pills, unless it’s something within Zhan Qingyu’s body, he wouldn’t be able to affect it..."

Li An analyzed carefully.

"It might be the Profound Yellow Qi Mother."

At this moment, Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Li An was taken aback, Profound Yellow Qi Mother?

The last time he heard of it, it was when Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked him to help refine a body...

According to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, the Profound Yellow Qi Mother is a creation item for re-forming a body, and a body created from it might naturally possess extraordinary effects!

Creation items were extremely rare.

"How could it be..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Li An was somewhat skeptical.

"It’s just a guess, after all. Most likely, Zhan Qingxuan possesses this material; do you still remember the rumor about the battle at Windfield Mountain Range? Both Li Yunxiao and Zhan Qingxuan showed up, and the Celestial Master Seal was even used in the battle. Yet, Zhan Qingxuan, in the face of the Celestial Master Seal’s imposing righteousness, was shielded by a protective Profound Yellow Qi and left untouched..."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke, and Li An had heard of these details but had not paid attention at the time.

"The Profound Yellow Qi being able to protect an evil cultivator like Zhan Qingxuan before the Celestial Master Seal can only be attributed to the Profound Yellow Qi Mother."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s words were quite assured.

"Why tell me now?" Li An asked.

"What’s the use of telling you? Li Gou, even if you knew Zhan Qingxuan has the material I need, would you dare go after her? Dare to deal with her? Not for my sake, even for your own, you might not dare."

"You might as well wait for a few thousand years until she’s deceased, and then dig up her grave."

Li An couldn’t help feeling helpless; this Shangguan Xiaoxiao... her words could be really hurtful, yet honest, as Li An indeed dared not go.

Who is Zhan Qingxuan? She was already in the Divinity Transformation Stage back then, and now she is a Saintess of the Evil King sect, guarded by the Profound Yellow Qi Mother. Seeking her would be purely inviting death.
