At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Ling Xiu had already accumulated more than 10,000 contribution points, enough to go to the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for his desired Xuan-rank spells.

However, Ling Xiu was not in a hurry. He had not yet fully mastered the Nine Tribulations Thunder Body technique, and he could not use all of his clones.

For now, three or four spells are enough.

Aside from his magical cultivation, his alchemy skills had already been firmly established at the Xuan level.

Ling Xiu was still thinking about two treasures he had obtained from the ancient secret realm. These were treasures he had acquired in the Tianxu Secret Realm, among the ruins of the ancient Nine Heavens Profound Yang Sect.

A mysterious and ancient gilded gourd, and a top-grade alchemy furnace with profound and mysterious energy.

As time went by, Ling Xiu stabilized his cultivation at the peak of the early stage of the Profound Realm.

After being tempered by the thunderous power of the Nine Tribulations Thunder Body, his divine sense became even stronger, and the idea of ​​cracking the mysterious alchemy furnace resurfaced.

Inside the quiet room on Lingshan Peak, Ling Xiu focused his mind and took out the three-legged alchemy furnace from his Qiankun Ring.

The ancient alchemy furnace stood quietly, surrounded by a profound and mysterious aura.

He placed his hands on the furnace wall, and his abundant true essence poured into the furnace continuously; his powerful divine sense transformed into an invisible perception, carefully probing the interior of the furnace.

The depths of the alchemy furnace were covered with layers of restrictions, and he patiently searched for a breakthrough in these restrictions.

The intricate runes flowed with mysterious energy. Sensing the external probing, the alchemy furnace trembled violently, the runes flashed intensely, and it emitted a terrifying pressure.

The furnace lid remained completely still, the entire furnace seemed to be a single, solid piece, impossible to open.

"I refuse to believe I can't open it!"

He was extremely patient, continuously channeling his longevity essence and meticulously deducing the patterns of the restriction with his divine sense.

Ling Xiu, like a stone sculpture, spent his days guarding the alchemy furnace, gradually wearing down the restrictions.

Breaking the restriction consumed a great deal of his mental energy, but fortunately he had some elixirs to help stabilize his magic power and spirit.

For two months, Ling Xiu devoted himself to studying the technique with almost no rest, focusing entirely on breaking the restriction.

One day at noon, he once again poured his magic power into the barrier, and his divine sense suddenly captured a node, which was the beginning of the complex restriction. He pulled it open like the end of a rope.

The alchemy furnace emitted a slight vibration, followed by a series of mechanical sounds.

Click!Click!Click!

The lid seemed to come alive, slowly lifting upwards to create a gap between itself and the body of the stove.

A strange and rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from the crack, invisible yet real, instantly filling the entire quiet room.

Ling Xiu took a deep breath and felt refreshed. His spiritual power increased rapidly, and his meridians and bones were completely cleansed by the medicinal fragrance. The circulation speed of the ninth-order golden core in his dantian also increased.

"I'm finally going to open this alchemy furnace!"

Ling Xiu was overjoyed and continued to circulate his true energy to completely open the furnace lid.

He leaned down and looked into the furnace, where three thumb-sized, round, white pills lay quietly at the bottom.

The surface of the elixir lacked the usual cinnabar patterns, yet it was imbued with vibrant life, and its refreshing medicinal fragrance even nourished the soul.

Ling Xiu had read extensively in alchemical texts, but had never seen such a pill before.

"I don't even recognize this elixir!"

However, he was well aware that this item was far beyond his comprehension. As a Xuan-rank alchemist, he could sense the profound and unfathomable Daoist principles within the pill, its mysterious power beyond description.

Ling Xiu carefully took out three nameless spiritual pills, put them into a jade bottle, and set up a seal.

He then consulted the "Mysterious Origin Creation Elixir Canon" and compared the illustrations to find the origins of the elixirs.

After searching for a long time, he found the corresponding illustrations and annotations in a short passage of ancient text.

This pill is called the Hundred Turns Pill, a top-grade Earth-rank spiritual pill!

It is crafted by seizing the essence of heaven and earth, gathering countless spiritual materials, and refining them for forty-nine days. The main ingredient is the Azure Lotus Grass, which contains primordial chaos energy and is tempered by supreme alchemical fire. It can absorb the essence of the sun and moon to lock in the medicinal power.

It is extremely difficult to refine, and the elixir needs to be nurtured for a thousand years, making it a divine pill.

The most miraculous effect of the Hundred-Turn Pill is to prolong life; one pill can add three hundred years to one's lifespan.

Bound by the rules of Heaven, a cultivator can only consume one pill in their lifetime; an excessive dose will result in violent effects that the physical body cannot withstand.

These few elixirs, sealed for ten thousand years, are still full of spiritual power, constantly absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and have never decayed.

Holding the jade bottle, Ling Xiu was overjoyed.

This is a legendary Earth-grade top-quality Hundred-Turn Pill!

Whether it's a young cultivator or a sect elder whose cultivation has stagnated, everyone would go crazy for a three-hundred-year lifespan; this pill is absolutely priceless.

Ling Xiu suppressed his turbulent emotions and turned his gaze back to the alchemy furnace.

With the restrictions broken, the true grade of the alchemy furnace was revealed: a top-grade Xuan-level alchemy furnace.

The joy that had just subsided surged up again. With this alchemy furnace, his success rate in refining pills and the quality of the pills would greatly improve in the future.

"I kept the alchemy furnace in the Qiankun Xuan Gourd for a long time before. Could it be that it hadn't completed its transformation then and was originally just a low-grade Xuan-level alchemy furnace?"

Ling Xiu was filled with doubt, guessing that the problem lay in the old restrictions, but unable to figure out the reason, he stopped worrying about it.

"Now that the restrictions have been lifted, if the Qiankun Xuan Gourd is placed back in, will the grade of the alchemy furnace continue to improve?"

With a thought, he placed a Hundred-Turn Pill along with the pill furnace into the Qiankun Mystic Gourd to verify his conjecture.

The next morning, Ling Xiu examined the Qiankun Xuanhu (a magical gourd), and the scene before him once again shocked him.

After a night of tempering, the originally top-grade Xuan-level alchemy furnace was completely renewed.

The dark furnace body turned dark red, and the aura of time became even heavier. A layer of crimson flames surrounded the furnace body. The flames were not hot to the touch, but rather had a cool touch. They were an eternal and inextinguishable crimson fire.

The furnace walls are carved with ancient ferocious beasts and the sun, moon and stars, creating a vivid little world inside the furnace.

The ferocious beast patterns are lifelike, as if they possess the power to devour the heavens and the earth. On the lid of the furnace, there is also a pattern of a fiery phoenix.

The pressure emanating from the alchemy furnace is far greater than before, and its grade has been upgraded.

One side of the furnace is engraved with large, simple, and magnificent seal script characters:

Ember Dome Furnace.

It is now a top-grade earth-level alchemy furnace.

Information flooded his mind: with this divine furnace in hand, the success rate and quality of refining Earth-grade or even higher-grade pills would be greatly improved in the future.

Even a powerful expert at the Spirit Sea Realm would go crazy for this alchemy furnace.
