Chapter 124 The First Alchemist

"What, am I, the ruler, not worthy of your worship?"

Empress Mu Lan hesitated, but Liu Chengfeng saw through her immediately.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."

Emperor Xuanwu was anxious. He had gone to great lengths to invite Empress Luming, and he did not want to break off relations and cause internal strife among the three ancient kingdoms.

Unlike the blindly loyal Xuanwu Emperor, Mu Lan was hesitant and lacked confidence in Liu Chengfeng, the new ruler.

"Whether you submit or not is up to you. What you need to do is help Emperor Xuanwu repair the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven."

Liu Chengfeng didn't bother with it, and had no interest in conquering it. He only wanted to repair the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven and get an audience with the Empress Yin. That was his goal.

Mu Lan was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the Langya Divine Child and his sister arrived, and Liu Chengfeng simply ignored her.

“Brothers need a fourth-level spirit furnace. We searched all over the southern border and finally found one.”

The divine son of Langya presented a spiritual stove.

He was not exaggerating; finding a four-stage spirit furnace in the Southern Frontier was indeed no easy task.

If it weren't for the powerful Langya Peak Heavenly Army, they might not have been able to find them in such a short time.

"With this spiritual stove, I can refine a few batches of pills for Sister Golden Robe and Brother Golden Melon."

Upon receiving the Four Refining Spirit Stove, Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed.

“We have the elixir.”

The Langya Divine Child and his sister were waiting for this very sentence.

The Langya Divine Child siblings not only had their own spiritual medicines, but also gave Liu Chengfeng a lot of spiritual medicines, all of which were of sufficient age.

"There happens to be a Seed of the Great Dao in the sect's treasure vault. I saw that Brother Liu is also about to plant a Seed of the Great Dao, so let's pack them together."

The Goddess of Langya took out a Seed of the Great Dao.

"Top grade Dao pattern."

Liu Chengfeng was also surprised; this was quite a large sum of money.

The Dawn Sword God, a demigod at the fourth level of the Great Perfection, only had a Dao Seed that was a low-grade Dao Pattern.

The Goddess of Langya generously gifted a Dao Seed of the highest grade with Dao patterns.

The historical foundation of Langya Peak is indeed deeper than that of the ancient Jinwu Kingdom.

“My master said that since you have just arrived in the southern border, if you need anything, just let me know.”

The Divine Son of Langya relayed a message to his master, the Emperor of Langya.

Although the Emperor of Langya had never met Liu Chengfeng, he already held him in high regard.

A person must still have value.

While powerful cultivators at the Great Dao Divine Treasury level are nothing special in the Southern Frontier, alchemists at the fourth level of refinement are rare in the Qingmeng Realm.

The siblings of the Langya Divine Child were also happy to address Liu Chengfeng as their brother.

Liu Chengfeng accepted the gift without hesitation, as he also happened to need the Seed of the Great Dao.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. I represent the entire Minglu Kingdom and am ready to go through fire and water at your command."

Seeing this opportunity, Mu Lanchen bowed deeply to Liu Chengfeng.

With the backing of Langya Peak, and even the Langya Divine Child siblings, beings at the second level of godhood, being willing to befriend him, the new ruler must have considerable ability.

Mulan seized the opportunity to submit and pay homage to Liu Chengfeng, pledging allegiance to him.

"It's good that you understand the situation. You will be at the command of Emperor Xuanwu."

Liu Chengfeng didn't make things difficult for her and simply waved his hand.

“Xuanzeyuan, I went down to check as well. The Heavenly Pillar was shattered, but it can still be repaired and saved. Emperor Xuanwu will be in charge, and the other two ancient kingdoms will fully cooperate.”

Liu Chengfeng entrusted the important task of repairing and building the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven to Emperor Xuanwu for overall coordination, and the three ancient kingdoms obeyed his orders.

"This old minister will certainly do his utmost to retrieve the precious gold and lead the swordsmith there."

Emperor Xuanwu was overjoyed. For the safety of the imperial city, he had always wanted to repair the Heavenly Pillar, but he was powerless to do so.

Now that he could gather the strength of the three ancient kingdoms, he immediately saw hope.

Liu Chengfeng sent Xuanwu Emperor to repair the Heavenly Pillar, while he himself prepared to start refining elixirs.

This was not only because his pills were running out, but also because the Fourth Alchemist held a prestigious position in the Qingmeng Realm.

He needs to cultivate to the fourth level of the Innate Realm as soon as possible to refine better pills.

The wonders of the fourth-stage alchemy are incomparable to those of the third-stage alchemy.

For example, the Four Refined Blood Medicine can prolong life.

Four-Refined Mountain Pills, if sufficient, can improve the quality of Yuan Mud.

The Four Refinements and Guiding Powder can unify all natural forces.

For example, the natural power within spiritual energy has various attributes, and one can take the Four Refinements Guiding Powder.

It can transform various natural forces into a single natural force that matches the mental cultivation method.

However, Liu Chengfeng possesses the Void Ashes, which can refine all natural forces, so he doesn't need them.

The four refinements of the Great Dao Elixir strengthen the divine foundation of the Dao.

This is the elixir that the Langya Divine Child and his sister desire most.

"Brother, may I observe you refining elixirs?"

Liu Chengfeng opened the furnace to refine elixirs, while the Langya Divine Son and his sister wanted to watch.

Liu Chengfeng didn't mind and readily agreed.

He activated the four spiritual furnaces, circulated his inner energy, drew in the earth fire, and took control of the furnace.

Although the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven was tilted and its pillars were broken, it was not affected at all because the foundation of the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven was in the sky.

The foundation of the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven is extremely vast, with boundless spiritual energy and earth fire like a sea.

Liu Chengfeng activated the "Longevity Heavenly Thunder Heart Method," causing his blood and energy to surge. He drew down earth fire from the Heavenly Dao Foundation, opened the Four Refinement Spirit Stove, and unleashed a torrent of silver flames.

The mental technique circulated, causing blood and energy to surge like a giant wave.

"As expected of a fourth-level refinement cultivator, a sea of ​​blood stretching over forty miles."

The Langya Divine Child siblings sensed Liu Chengfeng's life force and were both surprised and envious.

They only possessed a sea of ​​blood spanning over twenty miles, and their insufficient blood essence was entirely replenished by the true fire of life.

Unlike the Four Alchemists, whose forty-mile-long sea of ​​blood possessed boundless and immense blood energy.

Transformation technique, control of silver fire, mastery of the cauldron, addition of medicinal herbs, quenching of the medicinal liquid, burning away impurities...

The alchemy technique was launched, and Liu Chengfeng's movements were as smooth as flowing water, completing the task in one go.

"rise--"

As the elixir was about to be completed, Liu Chengfeng shouted loudly, controlling the fire to draw out the elixir, intending to put it into the gourd.

"The elixir is about to be made."

The goddess and her brother from Langya were overjoyed.

However, the silver fire was still too intense. In an instant, without the slightest difference, Ladan was burned by the silver fire and failed.

"Damn, it failed."

This was also Liu Chengfeng's first time undergoing the fourth refinement, and the silver fire of the fourth refinement spirit stove was even more difficult to control than he had imagined.

"Don't rush, it's normal to fail when you're just starting out."

The Goddess of Langya offered comfort.

This is normal; even a top-grade alchemist at the fourth level has a failure rate of nearly 50%.

"Come again——"

Liu Chengfeng had extremely high standards for his alchemy skills. He summarized his experience, deepened his understanding of the Four Refining Stove Fire, and started it again.

The fourth refining furnace was opened, and silver flames leaped up.

Liu Chengfeng focused intently, circulating his inner energy and controlling his blood and qi, making sure that even a little more or less was excessive.

Controlling the silver fire and managing the cauldron, he was flawless.

The medicinal herbs used in the initial planting were all over 100,000 years old.

The silver flames swept up the medicinal herbs, seeped into them, extracted the spiritual liquid, and burned away their impurities.

Controlling the fire and manipulating the furnace, refining medicinal herbs, and extracting spiritual liquid...

The entire process was completed flawlessly, with Liu Chengfeng maintaining strict control throughout. From controlling the heat to administering the medicine, and then to the exchange of blood and qi, everything was done with extreme precision and stability.

The Langya Goddess and her brother had also witnessed alchemy. Seeing Liu Chengfeng's all-out effort and precision, which could serve as a model for generations, they couldn't help but marvel at his skill.

"rise--"

The fragrance of medicine rose, and the elixir shone with divine light, forming a complete pill.

Liu Chengfeng shouted loudly, and with a bang, he pulled the gourd into the gourd.

"It's done—"

Upon seeing the Four Refinements of the Great Dao Pill enter the gourd, the Divine Son of Langya was overjoyed.

The pill was completed on the second batch; that's remarkable.

"Excellent pills, a whole batch of excellent pills."

The Goddess of Langya, observing the color and quality of the Great Dao Elixir, praised it endlessly.

"Brother, how many miles of blood sea have you crossed?"

The Divine Son of Langya also thought that the quality of the Great Dao Pill was exceptionally good.

"forty five."

Liu Chengfeng described it lightly.

"The 45-mile-long sea of ​​blood is only 3 miles away from Zixia Danshen, the strongest alchemist in the Qingmeng Realm!"

The goddess of Langya paled, and the prince of Langya was also shocked.

The most powerful alchemist in the Qingmeng Realm, possessing a forty-eight-mile-long sea of ​​blood, is rumored to have the best chance of becoming a legendary alchemist at the fifth level.

Now Liu Chengfeng is only three miles away from the sea of ​​blood.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, and they understood that they were the ones who had married above their station with Liu Chengfeng.

"One more batch, please."

Liu Chengfeng was still not satisfied with his alchemy skills, so he started the furnace again.

The silver flames reignited, and Liu Chengfeng took charge of the furnace and controlled the fire, adding the medicinal herbs one by one.

"The elixir is complete, rise—"

"rise--"

"Rise again—"

…………

Liu Chengfeng became so engrossed in refining elixirs that he forgot to eat and sleep, leaving the Langya Goddess and her brother, who were watching in astonishment.

They had never seen an alchemist work so hard; it was like working themselves to death.

Alchemists at the fourth level of refinement are of very high status and do not easily open their furnaces, let alone work day and night to the point of exhaustion.

In the end, all the medicinal herbs brought by the Langya Goddess and her brother were used up.

Liu Chengfeng was still not satisfied, so he and his sister hurriedly went to prepare more medicinal herbs.

In a short period of time, a large number of precious medicinal materials all fell into Liu Chengfeng's hands.

One furnace after another was set off, leaving the Langya Divine Child and his sister speechless with astonishment.

"You, you've reached the Innate Realm? A Fourth-Level Innate Realm Alchemist!"

After refining nine batches, the Goddess of Langya realized the problem and asked in a trembling voice.

Except for the first batch which failed, all the others were successful.

If there's no failure rate, then it means it's innate!
"Yes, I've always been at the innate level. I won't give up until I've worked my way up to that level."

Liu Chengfeng was nonchalant, considering it a matter of course.

The Langya Goddess and her brother were so shocked they were numb, staring at each other in disbelief.

"We witnessed the birth of the first alchemist in the Qingmeng Realm."

The Prince of Langya was shocked and murmured to himself.

The legendary Zixia Danshen was only a fourth-grade alchemist, yet he was already the top alchemist in the Qingmeng Realm.

Today, the legend of Qinghai-Mongolia is changing hands!

Four Refinements to the Innate Realm, the Number One Alchemist in the Azure Mist Realm!
"Unexpected, surprising, and an honor."

Liu Chengfeng was also pleased with himself.

His efforts paid off; he simply loved the feeling of pushing himself to the limit, and he wouldn't stop until he reached the absolute extreme.

"It is our honor."

The Langya Divine Child siblings nodded, witnessing the birth of the first alchemist and personally participating in the legend; it was their honor.

Liu Chengfeng continued working hard, determined to refine his alchemy skills to the highest level.

"Brother, we can't hold on any longer, we're out of medicinal herbs."

The divine resources of Langya have also run out; they can no longer purchase medicinal herbs.

Liu Chengfeng then stopped, exhausted, and lay down on the ground.

"That feels great, I haven't felt this way in a long time."

Liu Chengfeng laughed heartily. He had never felt so exhilarated since his alchemy exchange with Xie Hongyu.

"You are the true god of alchemy."

The Goddess of Langya was so impressed that she wiped his sweat.

"I'm still a little short. I'll become a Pill God once I reach the Fifth Refinement stage."

Liu Chengfeng looked down on him with arrogance.

"The Legend of Five Refinements"

The Langya Divine Child and his siblings both felt that he had this hope, and that it was only natural and well-deserved.

Finally, Liu Chengfeng divided some of the refined pills among his siblings, keeping the rest for himself.

The Langya Goddess and her brother had no objections. Although medicinal herbs with an age of over 100,000 years are precious, a fourth-level innate alchemist is one of a kind.

Hiring other alchemists would not only be extremely expensive, but it's also not guaranteed that they could be persuaded. More importantly, there's the risk of failure.

The Langya Divine Child and his sister accepted the Four-Refined Great Dao Pill with satisfaction and bid farewell to Liu Chengfeng.

This time, I'm being sincere and have repeatedly told them that if they need anything, they should contact me and ask the siblings for help.

A fourth-level innate alchemist—this was already a high achievement for the siblings.

The world's number one alchemist is someone even the gods would want to invite.

After seeing off the Langlang Divine Child and his sister, Liu Chengfeng was about to go down to Xuanze Abyss to check on the progress of the Heavenly Pillar repairs when an uninvited guest arrived.

"Jilan Sword God".

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

The third most important figure in Dahuang Peak.

"Young Master Liu is none other than Liu Chengfeng from Little Mengshan."

Ji Lan Sword God gazed at Liu Chengfeng, a strange light gleaming deep within her beautiful eyes.

"Yes, it's Liu Chengfeng who killed Zhao Tian's father. Should the Sword God pass on a message?"

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine, but he kept his composure, knowing that Sword God Jilan was investigating him.

"I have no connection with the son of the ancient god, please rest assured, young master."

Sword God Jilan shook his head.

Damn, the son of an ancient god, he's really trying to glorify himself.

Liu Chengfeng sneered.

"What is the purpose of the Sword God's visit here?"

Liu Chengfeng got straight to the point.

"Young master has accomplished a remarkable feat in the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom."

Sword Goddess Jilan gazed intently at Liu Chengfeng with her beautiful eyes, her gaze unwavering.

"The Sword God has excellent information."

Liu Chengfeng knew she was probing his background.

The Divine Child of Langya is right; the Sword God Jilan is meticulous and wise.
