Chapter 2396 An Unexpected Joy, Ancient Spirit Nourishing Pill

"The Greatsword Technique has only just begun, yet it possesses such power. Judging from the power of that last strike alone..."

"The power of this strike is enough to kill an ordinary mid-stage Golden Immortal."

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

With a casual gesture, the Dragon-Seeking Sword returned to his hand, shimmering with a spiritual light.

Wow!

Chen Xuan's divine sense entered his dantian.

They discovered that the giant sword technique they had casually activated had consumed nearly one-tenth of their immortal power.

This was just the cost of a casual attack from Chen Xuan.

If Chen Xuan were to go all out, the energy expenditure would likely be even greater.

"The power of the Greatsword Technique is indeed extraordinary. However, the consumption is also enormous. Especially the consumption of immortal power, which is astonishing!"

"Even with my immense immortal power, I'm finding it hard to withstand!"

Chen Xuan sighed.

Soon, he put away the Dragon-Seeking Sword, rested briefly, and was about to refine pills to improve his cultivation level when a dazzling light suddenly burst out from his storage bag.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly patted the storage bag at his waist.

The Moon Shadow Society's identity token instantly appeared in Chen Xuan's palm.

Wow!

Chen Xuan channeled an incomparably pure stream of immortal power into the Moon Shadow Society's identity token.

In just a short while, the Moon Shadow Society's identity tokens were fully activated.

Before long, a dazzling light screen appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

A familiar face then appeared on the light screen.

It was none other than the Fairy Maiden of Nanling!

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's been a long time!"

Nanling Fairy smiled happily as she looked at Chen Xuan.

Last time, when they flew into the city, Fairy Nanling and the others were able to escape safely thanks to Chen Xuan's help.

If it weren't for Chen Xuan's intervention, helping them accumulate enough merit points to exchange for a spot to leave Feilai City.

It seems that Nanling Fairy and her companions are truly doomed to perish in Feilai City.

"So it's a fairy! How have you been?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised, but quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, do you know why I've come to see you this time?"

The Fairy of Nanling looked at Chen Xuandao with a smile.

"Oh? This is quite a mystery to me. However, I suspect that the fairy's visit to me at this moment is not a bad thing, is it?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Before Fairy Nanling could speak, Chen Xuan continued, "Fairy, you should know that Blood Red City has issued a kill order against me, right?"

"Hehe, I have naturally heard about this matter. However, I believe that with your strength, the Blood Red City's kill order should not pose any threat to you."

"Although Xue Weng is a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he is still lacking in political acumen."

"However, fellow Daoist, please rest assured. The reason I contacted you this time is not to cause you trouble, but to offer you some assistance."

"Last time, if it weren't for your help, we would probably have been trapped and died in Flying City."

At this point, Nanling Immortal Bone added, "Fellow Daoist, you must have been hiding somewhere quietly cultivating during this time. Actually, that's for the best."

"The Southern Immortal Realm is probably about to descend into chaos."

"The fighting in Feilai City, in particular, has intensified."

"The demonic beast army from the Jinling Mountains that fought us last time has now surrounded Feilai City."

"The recent battles have dealt a heavy blow to our Tiannan True Immortal Realm. It is said that even the patriarch of a small family, who was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, perished on the battlefield outside Feilai City!"

"Heh, that old bastard Zhou Jing, he actually wanted to stay with us as cannon fodder back then, what a pipe dream!"

As Nanling Fairy concluded, her tone was tinged with inexplicable anger.

After listening, Chen Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.

"After all this time, the monsters in the Jinling Mountains still haven't been completely eradicated!"

"It seems that what Fairy Xiao said is true. Those demonic beasts in the Jinling Mountains should be related to a powerful force in our Tiannan True Immortal Realm."

"But this kind of thing is not something I, a mere early-stage Golden Immortal, can get involved in!"

When Chen Xuan thought of this, he felt relieved.

After a moment of silence, just as Chen Xuan was about to speak, Fairy Nanling smiled slightly and tossed a storage bag to him.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse!"

"This is……"

Chen Xuan looked curious.

When his divine sense swept through the storage bag, he found five portions of immortal medicine and an ancient pill formula inside.

Chen Xuan slapped his palm swiftly.

The ancient elixir formula fell directly into his hands.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a prescription that could cure Dandan.

"Ancient Spirit Nourishing Pill? It can treat damage to the divine sense and the Niwan Palace... This..."

Chen Xuan looked delighted.

He has been announcing the acquisition of the Shennian and Niwan Palace Dan formulas for quite some time now.

But after so much time has passed, no one has contacted him.

This made Chen Xuan somewhat depressed.

But at this moment, Fairy Nanling gave him a prescription that could cure damage to the Niwan Palace and damage to the divine sense.

Moreover, the other party thoughtfully provided five portions of elixirs for alchemy.

This made Chen Xuan very surprised.

"Fairy, your pill formula and these elixirs have been of immense help to me."

"I won't say thank you. I owe you a favor!"

Chen Xuan looked at the Fairy of Nanling with gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, we can be considered friends. Last time, you helped me, and I was simply returning the favor. Besides, these things might be difficult for others, but for me, it was just a small favor. You don't need to take it to heart!"

Nanling Fairy smiled slightly, seemingly not taking the matter seriously at all.

Taking this opportunity, she chatted with Chen Xuan for a while before breaking off contact with him.

The ancient formula for nourishing the spirit has been obtained.

Even the elixirs needed to refine the ancient Nourishing Spirit Pill have been gathered.

Even now, Chen Xuan still finds it hard to believe.

"This time, Fairy Nanling really helped me a lot!"

"Now that I have the ancient formula for the Spirit Nourishing Pill and the elixir, I might as well take this opportunity to refine the ancient Spirit Nourishing Pill first and completely heal the injuries I sustained in my Niwan Palace!"

Soon, Chen Xuan exited the Moon Shadow Society's login page.

With a thought, he took out the ancient formula for the Spirit Nourishing Pill and began to study it.

In just one hour, Chen Xuan had completely mastered the ancient formula for the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

A moment later, Chen Li and the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron appeared simultaneously.

Wow!

Dense golden flames burned continuously on Chen Li's body.

At this moment, Chen Li looked at Chen Xuan with an expression full of excitement.

"I've met the master!"

"Chen Li, why are you so happy?"

Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen you, Master. I've missed you a bit."

"You, didn't we just meet a few dozen days ago?"

Chen Xuan was speechless for a while.

Chen Li laughed and said no more.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan briefly explained the task of alchemy, then pointed his finger in the air.

Under Chen Xuan's control, the Seven-Colored Cauldron spun continuously in the void.

Upon seeing this, Chen Li appeared effortlessly beneath the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron, unleashing blazing golden flames.

Wow!

The temperature inside the Seven-Colored Cauldron suddenly soared at this moment.

Chen Xuan's divine sense was completely attached to the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

Carefully sensing the temperature changes within the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

After ensuring that the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron was heated evenly and reached the optimal temperature for refining the Ancient Nourishing Spirit Pill, Chen Xuan threw a celestial herb into the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

boom!

Terrifying golden flames suddenly erupted at this moment.

Soon, the temperature inside the Seven-Colored Cauldron soared rapidly.

At this moment, the immortal medicine that Chen Xuan had just thrown into the Seven-Colored Cauldron was burned to ashes.

Only the purest medicinal essence is completely preserved within the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

Inside the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron, a tiny, pure droplet, about the size of a soybean, formed and spun around and around.

Chen Xuan looked normal.

He proceeded with the alchemy process step by step.

Every so often, a prepared elixir would be thrown into the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

After waiting for just over an hour, a series of rattling and trembling sounds emanated from the Seven-Colored Cauldron.

The lid of the seven-colored treasure tripod, which fit tightly together, popped open automatically.

Soon, twelve freshly refined pills shot out from the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

At that very moment, a ball of energy, hundreds of feet in size, suddenly emerged from the void.

In the next instant, it completely enveloped the twelve pills.

Boom!

A loud thunderclap was heard.

All twelve pills were shrouded in the pill tribulation, constantly subjected to the baptism of lightning.

Chen Xuan remained calm and sat quietly in place.

However, when his gaze inadvertently swept across the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron, he discovered that a tiny crack, as fine as a hair, had appeared on its surface.

"This……"

Chen Xuan was shocked.

With a flick of his finger, the seven-colored cauldron fell into his palm.

At this moment, Chen Xuan saw that there was more than one crack on the surface of the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

The surface of the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron was covered with countless cracks.

It resembles a spider web.

This also means that the Seven-Colored Cauldron will no longer be able to help Chen Xuan refine pills.

"After all these years, has it finally broken? This..."

Chen Xuan felt a pang of regret.

But he was also very clear that the Seven-Colored Cauldron had been with him for so many years.

Moreover, he witnessed the improvement of his own alchemy skills.

Now, its body is riddled with cracks, and it can no longer refine pills for itself.

Its mission has come to an end.

Next, Chen Xuan could only switch to a more advanced alchemy cauldron to refine pills.

Goodbye, old friend!

Chen Xuan watched as the seven-colored cauldron rapidly pointed.

A crisp cracking sound rang out from the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.

Cracks spread rapidly.

Soon, the Seven-Colored Cauldron turned into dust and disappeared.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Xuan continued to wait quietly for the alchemy tribulation to end.

Half an hour later, the pill tribulation completely disappeared.

The twelve ancient spirit-nourishing pills that had survived the pill tribulation were finally presented to Chen Xuan.

It was noticeable that the Daoist patterns on the surface of these twelve pills were all different.

One of the pills had only two Daoist patterns on its surface.

One of the alchemical patterns is a common alchemical pattern.

The other alchemy rune was an extremely rare immortal-level alchemy rune.

This also means that Chen Xuan has now refined a low-grade immortal-level pill.

As for the remaining ancient spirit-nourishing pills, there are five alchemical patterns on their surface.

One of them is a Dao-level alchemy pattern, while the rest are ordinary alchemy patterns.

"One low-grade Immortal-level pill and eleven top-grade Dao-level pills?"

"It seems that my alchemy skills have finally made a new improvement."

"Could it be that the shattering of the Seven-Colored Cauldron this time is also related to this low-grade immortal pill?"

Chen Xuan suddenly realized what was going on.

The higher the quality of the alchemy cauldron, the lower the difficulty of alchemy, and the greater the probability of producing high-quality pills.

Conversely, if the alchemy cauldron is of lower quality, there is a risk of it exploding if one tries to refine high-quality pills.

Just now, Chen Xuan suddenly saw cracks appearing on the surface of the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron, which meant that the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron had reached its limit in refining low-grade immortal pills.

"It seems I'll have to get a more advanced alchemy cauldron from now on."

Chen Xuan sighed.

After carefully comparing the ancient spirit-nourishing pill, he then put the low-grade immortal pill directly into his mouth.

Wow!

The immense medicinal power spread out completely and entered Chen Xuan's Niwan Palace.

At this moment, Chen Xuan clearly felt that, under the effect of the low-grade immortal pill, the hidden injuries lurking deep within his seemingly intact Niwan Palace were gradually healing.

"Thank goodness I didn't frequently use my divine sense during this time, and I also found the ancient formula for the Divine Refining Pill, intending to heal the injuries in my Niwan Palace!"

"Otherwise, if I continue to exert my divine sense at a high intensity, I'm afraid my Niwan Palace will really be destroyed by these hidden injuries."
