Chapter 53: Golden Sun True Fire
Danxin Mountain, Examination Hall.
Fang Yun sat alone in the center, with the alchemy furnace standing before him, shining brightly.
The hall was silent as numerous alchemists watched from the sidelines, including nine second-tier alchemists, each with a different expression.
Fire Dragon's Roar!
Fang Yun formed a hand seal and cast a spell. In an instant, flames blazed between his palms and fingers, illuminating the entire palace.
A wisp of fire flickered, rapidly expanding into a massive fire dragon, several feet in size, coiled behind the boy.
The fire dragon lowered its eyes, its claws and teeth were clearly visible, its scales and whiskers were lifelike, and its high temperature swept in all directions, its divine power was like a prison!
Fang Yun changed the hand seals again, accompanied by a faint dragon roar.
The fire dragon instantly soared into the air, its body swaying, and in a flash, it split apart from its back.
One is divided into two, and two are divided into four.
Four fiery dragons roamed around, devouring all the spiritual energy in the hall, before suddenly lunging towards the alchemy furnace.
The fire dragon raised its head and roared, like a crimson lotus blooming, carrying a large amount of spiritual herbs into the furnace.
In a daze.
Before everyone's eyes, it seemed as if a great sun was rising slowly from the alchemy furnace!
"This child has actually mastered the Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Alchemy Technique, created by Ancestor Chen!"
Some of the second-tier alchemists saw through the deception and exclaimed in amazement.
"It's just a superficial understanding; whether one can truly comprehend the transformations of Yin Fire and the balance of Yin and Yang is beyond question."
"Only when a single furnace of pills can contain the sun, moon, and stars can it be considered an achievement!"
Chen Xuansu appeared humble, but his tone was full of pride and self-satisfaction.
After all, this Sun and Moon Alchemy Technique is a third-tier secret method, and the difficulty of cultivating it is self-evident.
Fang Yun paid no heed to the outside world, focusing all his attention on the alchemy furnace in front of him.
He had already refined this batch of Azure Longevity Pills many times.
His movements were fluid and graceful, and his timing was impeccable, displaying a touch of mastery.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yun's technique suddenly changed, unleashing the final Condensing Pill and Solidifying Spirit Seal Technique.
With a deafening roar, the energy that had been accumulating in the alchemy furnace for so long suddenly erupted.
Amidst the raging flames, four fire dragons emerged once more, carrying a blue lingzhi mushroom shaped like an auspicious cloud.
Upon closer inspection, this Ganoderma lucidum was actually formed from pure elixir energy, and as it spun, it emitted an amazing fragrance.
Fang Yun moved his mouth and nose, swallowing the green sesame and the fire dragon together.
The essence of the herb enters the abdomen and first condenses into the shape of a spiritual pill.
Then it exploded completely, turning into a hazy green mist that swept over the whole body, nourishing the internal organs.
"A single breath of elixir can add about twenty years to one's lifespan."
Fang Yun examined the situation briefly and was quite satisfied. His magical power had also recovered to 80-90% after devouring the fire dragon.
The alchemy furnace was opened, and everyone eagerly looked towards it.
Suddenly, nine longevity pills lay there, their medicinal properties potent and their heat still mild.
One of them has three red patterns, three have two red patterns, and the rest have one red pattern appearing.
If Fang Yun hadn't consumed that medicinal energy, the quality would have been even better.
This batch of Azure Longevity Pills can be considered the pinnacle of his alchemy skills across two lifetimes.
Even if Chen Xuansu were to personally refine it, he might not be able to do it as well as he did.
A natural affinity for fire—how terrifying!
"Congratulations! You have passed the assessment. From now on, you are a top-tier first-class alchemist recognized by the sect!"
The supervising elder smiled and handed a badge to Fang Yun.
"This young man from the Chen family is remarkable. I wonder if he will be able to advance to a second-tier alchemist with his Qi Refining cultivation in the future?"
A Mu family alchemist glanced at Mu Lingxin, whose face was full of resentment, his eyes flashing, seemingly lost in thought.
"It's a bit difficult. How far the child can go in the end depends on his own fate."
Chen Xuansu understood the other party's hidden meaning.
Throughout history, there have been countless third-tier alchemy masters who have emerged from sects.
They had all successfully refined second-tier spiritual pills using their Qi Refining cultivation.
Of course, this is just a prerequisite, which can be called the qualifications of a third-level alchemist.
Whether or not one can ultimately overcome that insurmountable barrier depends on their comprehension, talent, and even personal opportunity.
Fang Yun thanked the elder and wore the badge on his left chest. He was immediately surrounded by a large group of fellow disciples who congratulated him.
He finally managed to crawl out, only to be met with a big hug from Chen Xiaoshan.
"Brother, well done! You've completely won over that little girl from the Mu family!"
Fang Yun coughed lightly, his expression remaining normal: "Brother, you should watch your words; they're easy for people to misunderstand."
Over the years, I have come to adapt to my identity in this life.
He and his elder brother grew closer and closer.
Chen Xiaoshan treated him really well. He was a warm, cheerful, positive, and responsible older brother.
"I know, you're getting shy now."
Chen Xiaoshan chuckled and pulled a storage bag from his pocket: "Here, this is a congratulatory gift from your older brother!"
When Fang Yun opened it, he was immediately surprised to find that it was actually a mid-grade second-tier alchemy cauldron.
Golden Sun Treasure Cauldron!
Not only can it be used for alchemy, but it also contains a Golden Yang True Fire, which can be used as a spiritual weapon to suppress enemies!
"Thank you so much, brother!"
Fang Yun stroked the fist-sized treasure cauldron and suddenly asked, "Brother, have you recently taken on a mission to lead a team to Chen Kingdom to select promising young immortals?"
Chen Xiaoshan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "What, you're getting restless, aren't you? Planning to take a stroll through the mortal world?"
His eyes widened in surprise; his younger brother was a true ascetic.
For ten years since joining the sect, he has never stepped out of the Qingmu Mountain Range.
"I do have that idea, after all, the path of cultivation involves a balance of relaxation and rest."
"Big brother, please sign me up! We can set off together then. I've never been to Chen State before!"
Of course, these are just excuses to fool people.
Fang Yun's true intention was to retrieve the Foundation Establishment Treasure from his previous life.
Those pills and spirit stones are naturally not in short supply now.
What Fang Yun needs is the Azure Lotus Earth Fire and the Corpse Puppet.
The Azure Lotus Fire is born from the magma of the earth and also possesses the spirituality of plants and trees, belonging to the fire of the Yin veins beneath the earth.
Combined with the Golden Sun Fire in his hand, it's perfect for cultivating the Sun and Moon Alchemy Technique.
The body he possessed in his previous life had an exceptionally high level of physical cultivation.
It is comparable to a mid-grade second-tier puppet, possessing formidable strength.
It's perfect for use as a trump card.
Two months later, the sect finally completed its preparations and dispatched fleets of ships to fly in all directions.
The Qingmu Sect's territory spans hundreds of thousands of miles and includes eighteen mortal kingdoms.
Half of them belong to sects, while the other half are controlled by powerful clans that have reached the Golden Core stage.
These powerful clans, besides those with fake alchemists in charge, also include many declining families, yet they all possess profound cultural heritage.
The secular Chen Kingdom, for example, was seized from a dilapidated Golden Core family by Chen Laozu back then.
Therefore, the location is very remote, and the journey is tens of thousands of miles away.
Located at the border between the Qingmu Sect and the Lihuo Sect, it belongs to the frontier region.
The group heading to Chen Kingdom was led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Yuquan Mountain, and their safety was assured.
Fang Yun played with the small cauldron, slowly nurturing it with his own magical power, so that he would be more adept at alchemy in the future.
The Golden Yang True Fire within had already been refined by him and absorbed into his dantian to temper his magical power.
He was standing on the ship's side admiring the scenery when he suddenly noticed that Mu Lingxin had also boarded this second-tier warship.
Accompanying them was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Mu family.
Fang Yun was curious, so he summoned a few of his underlings and asked them to investigate.
The reason was soon discovered.
Mu Lingxin's purpose in this journey was to go to the mortal world to collect a unique spiritual flame called "Ten Thousand Homes' Lights".
