“hm...”
seeing that long oval-shaped result, ling-er was dumbfounded. that was different from her predictions.
long chen took a deep breath. he praised her, “in all my life, it’s my first time refining such a divine pill. haha, if my enemies knew of it, they would probably die from laughing. hehe, i’ve gained another killer trump card.”
even ling-er could now hear his anger. she awkwardly said, “i don’t know what’s going on. based on my experience, this pill... well, maybe my experience was wrong.” she hastily changed her tone when she saw his expression sink. but she said, “you can’t blame me entirely! it’s those three masters who were garbage.”
the possessor of the pill sovereign memories who controlled unparalleled alchemy arts had just refined a giant turd. if the pill sovereign were to learn of this, perhaps she would wipe him out of existence for shaming her.
“big brother long chen, don’t be angry. your face is quite scary like that. here, i’ll let you control my spirit instead,” said ling-er pleadingly.
letting long chen control her spirit would be giving all the responsibility of the alchemy to him. it also meant that if he wished for it, he could control her into forming a contract.
hearing that, long chen shook his head with a bitter smile. getting angry with a foolish girl was meaningless.
long chen took a deep breath and did his best to gentle his tone. “let me tell you, those previous masters of yours were just some dabblers. their alchemy arts were worse than crap. if you want to learn alchemy, you should learn from me. now stop causing trouble, understand?”
“yes, yes.” like a child who realized she had made a mistake, ling-er became extremely obedient, nodding like a chicken pecking at corn.
“here, although i haven’t refined a demonic pill before, i know the technique. i’ll take the lead, and you support me.”
long chen started a new refinement. this time, his full spiritual strength entered the pill furnace.
sensing her nervousness, he said, “don’t worry. i’m not that kind of despicable person.”
with his soul merged into the demon moon furnace, he found that it really was different from normal pill furnaces. the runes on it were absorbing a very strange energy from the world.
that energy was a bit sinister, lying on the yin side. that energy contained qualities that were the opposite of what was required during normal refining processes.
“ling-er, concentrate on remembering this process,” said long chen.
“yes.”
medicinal powders began to merge within the furnace. under long chen’s control, everything went very smoothly. the refinement was quickly completed.
the lid opened, revealing seven bright pills. ling-er clapped her hands excitedly. “they’re round and not strung together like the last turd...”
ling-er trailed off when she saw long chen glaring at her. she stuck out her tongue and shut her mouth.
“ling-er, why are those runes still not fully activated?”
“them? they are demonic runes used for absorbing the demonic energy within heaven and earth. i’ve never had the power to fully activate them,” answered ling-er.
“no wonder.” long chen suddenly understood. even if it had been his first time refining demonic pills, the results shouldn’t have been what they were. “ling-er, can you fully trust me?”
“yes. you are the person i trust the most in this world.” ling-er nodded sincerely. through the exchange between their souls during this time, she had been able to sense his true heart more and more.
“then i will leave a rune within your soul, and it will allow our souls to fully merge. that way, i can use my spiritual strength to help you fully activate those runes. is that alright?”
“yes.” ling-er agreed without hesitation.
long chen smiled and rubbed her head. “thank you. thank you for your trust in me. let’s start.”
a rune appeared on long chen’s forehead, and it slowly entered ling-er’s forehead.
the divine gate star within his divine gate shook. a sea of spiritual strength gushed into ling-er.
as the demon moon furnace rumbled, the dark runes began to light up, growing brighter and brighter.
“don’t suppress it. fully unleash it. you need to activate all your runes, or we won’t be able to refine higher level pills,” shouted long chen.
ling-er gave up on controlling the speed of things. she allowed long chen’s spiritual strength to pour into the demon moon furnace.
as more and more of his spiritual strength entered, a bewitching divine light blazed out of the demon moon furnace. as a result, the surrounding mountains began to collapse. a wave of light suddenly shot out, shattering the mountains and turning the rubble to nothingness.
“this demon moon furnace isn’t just capable of refining pills. it’s also a powerful killing weapon.” long chen hadn’t expected it to suddenly unleash such immense power after its runes were activated.
he also found that there were thousands and thousands of runes on the furnace, and only seventy percent of them were shining with the help of his spiritual strength. some runes were still dim.
ling-er cried out excitedly. she felt like her shackles had been removed.
after an incense stick’s worth of time, long chen managed to activate over eighty percent of the demon moon furnace’s runes, but he had exhausted his spiritual strength in the process. stars were spinning in his head. he couldn’t activate the remaining runes in this state.
“big brother long chen, i feel much stronger than before! let’s keep refining pills!” ling-er grabbed long chen’s hand and cried out excitedly.
“wait a moment. i need to rest.”
long chen sat on his butt, resting for six full hours before getting back up.
“alright, let’s see the results this time.” long chen was full of anticipation.
