C17 First Dragon Mark
"There’s the only Demon Spirit of tiger demon can be found in our merchant group, not to mention it’s just one at the early period of Qi Sea Stage. So I'm afraid that it will affect the effects of pills. I have intentionally sent someone to the Red City to buy that at late period of Qi Sea Stage at a high price, now the Demon Spirit had already been left to you in the alchemy room."
Jiang Zhenhai said.
"Thank you, Dad."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
"Don’t have to."
Jiang Zhenhai laughed.
In the alchemy room!
A pile of herbs was indeed placed beside the furnace. Jiang Chen looked at them, they were Thousand Leaves Grass, Hundred Spirit Forest, Lan Xing Plant … They were all the ingredients needed to refine a Tiger Restoration Pill, and there was a red box placed beside it. Inside the box was a fist-sized Demon Spirit, which was sparkling and translucent like a crystal, emitting a faint glow. Jiang Chen could feel the energy emitted from the Demon Spirit with just a glance.
"It's actually the Demon Spirit of the Flaming Tiger. The fire spark within the Demon Spirit is still intact. What an unexpected harvest."
Jiang Chen revealed a happy expression. With his experience, he could immediately tell the true origins of this Demon Spirit.
Even though the Flaming Tiger was an ordinary Demonic Beast, it was an unusual species within tigers. It did not have any special bloodline, but it did possess a unique flame.
The flame of a flame tiger wasn't too strong, but if it could be absorbed and refined, it would be much stronger than refining a pill.
Moreover, once this flame was absorbed, the temperature of the flame could also be controlled according to one's soul power. If an ordinary alchemist wanted to absorb the flame, it would be extremely difficult and dangerous without a special method. But for a Saint like Jiang Chen, absorbing the fire essence of a mere fire tiger was too easy.
"Let’s do it!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand towards the Demon Spirit, and it flew up into the air and landed in his hand. Jiang Chen waved his hand and formed a complicated magic seal. Under the effect of the magic seal, the red Fire Elemental was detached from the host directly.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and swallowed the Fire Elemental.
The fire seed was the source of the flame tiger's fire. Once refined, it would merge with the soul source and the primordial strength, creating an endless sea of flames.
After the fire core entered his body, Jiang Chen immediately felt burning. Under his control, his soul power surged out like a tidal wave, instantly devouring the fire core.
Under the joint efforts of the Dragon Transformation Spell and the Mighty Soul Refining Art, the Fire Seed was quickly refined and fused. Jiang Chen abandoned the original method of refining the Fire Seed and relied solely on the Dragon Transformation Spell and the Mighty Soul Refining Art.
The Dragon Transformation Spell could absorb and refine any kind of bizarre bloodline in the world, so it was even easier for a mere Fire Elemental, let alone having the help of the Mighty Soul Refining Art.
After a moment, Jiang Chen flipped his palm, and a ball of fiery red flames immediately jumped from his hand. With the support of the primordial strength, the fire grew brighter and brighter.
"After absorbing the Fire Elemental, the first Dragon Mark will soon solidify. If I were to directly refine and absorb the energy inside the Demon Spirit, then I can directly reach the Qi Sea Stage. However, strengthening the body and nurturing the spirit is most important. Everything goes after a consolidated foundation."
Jiang Chen's experience in training was unparalleled, and he was well aware of the difference and significance between the cultivation and foundation.
Using the Demon Spirit to refine a Tiger Restoration Pill would cause a large amount of the energy essence to be lost, but Jiang Chen didn't feel that it was a pity at all. Use the optimal thing where he needed it, instead of a promotion to Qi Sea Stage, for now he needed most was to thoroughly improve his body.
"With this flame, I'll be able to refine pills with double efficiency."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. With the Mighty Soul Refining Art, coupled with the flame from the Flaming Tiger, he didn't even need a furnace anymore. The Mighty Soul Refining Art was not only a Soul Training Skill, it was also an exquisite method to refine pills.
Hu hu ~
Soul power gushed out like a tidal wave. Jiang Chen's hand trembled as the flames sprayed out, turning into a sea of fire. Soul power and sea of fire merged together, making a crackling sound. Jiang Chen casually waved his hand, throwing all the ingredients into the sea of fire.
The Pill Refining Furnace was directly abandoned. With such an exquisite method, if Zhou Beichen and the other two saw it, they would immediately kneel down.
Purification, smelting, and pill formation!
Jiang Chen was exceedingly adept at the entire process of refining pills. His techniques were exquisite, and flowed smoothly from start to finish, indicating that he was an expert.
The flame from the Flaming Tiger caused the temperature in the entire pill refining room to be two times higher than before. Under the effect of the Mighty Soul Refining Art, the Tiger Restoration pill took only an hour to be completely refined.
Jiang Chen withdrew all of his strength, soul power, and flame into his body. He reached out his hand and grabbed the pill.
The Tiger Restoration pill felt warm to the touch, and there was even a burning sensation. The transparent pill had traces of blood flowing out, giving off a lustrous luster, the Perfect Pill, the most perfect type of pill.
"This Tiger Restoration pill has reached the level of a high-grade Human Level. With my current condition, consuming it would be the most suitable."
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the Tiger Restoration Pills he had refined. For pills with high-grade Human Level, ordinary alchemists would only be able to refine them if their cultivation had reached the level of Human Core Stage, in which case most of the refined pills would still not be perfect.
Jiang Chen had used the cultivation of the Rank Nine of Qi Stage to refine a Superior Grade Tiger Restoration pill of high-grade Human Level, if word of this got out, people would be shocked.
Human Origin Pills were the basic primordial strength pills, and different from other pills, in the Martial God Continent, Human Origin Pills, Earth Origin Pills, Heavenly Element Pills, Holy Origin Pills, were the pills with special existences. The ingredients were simple, containing pure primordial strengths, and were essential to all cultivators during their cultivation.
Of these four kinds of pills, there were only four ranks, Human, Earth, Heaven, and Saint. Each rank was no longer divided into the upper, middle, or lower grade. These were the most basic pills that could be refined by any alchemist.
"Strengthen my foundation and nurture my spirit, this Tiger Restoration Pills can thoroughly consolidate my foundation."
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and swallowed the Tiger Restoration Pill. The huge amount of energy from the pill immediately spread throughout his body, causing his body to tremble.
"Dragon Transformation Spell, absorb it for me."
Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged and immediately activated the Dragon Transformation Spell. This transcendent divine might was very terrifying, not only could it absorb Elemental Qi of Heaven And Earth at a much faster rate, it could also refine energy at a much faster rate.
With the help of the Dragon Transformation Spell, the medicinal power of the Tiger Restoration Pill started to be absorbed bit by bit. The ingredients needed to strengthen his body directly went into Jiang Chen's limbs and penetrated deep into his body. The energy contained within the pill was absorbed by the Dragon Mark in his Dantian.
Buzz Buzz …
Jiang Chen's body released the humming sound, as if there was a strong vibration inside his body. Jiang Chen sealed his six senses, completely immersing himself in the refinement of the Dragon Transformation Spell.
An hour later, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Two cold beams shot out from his eyes, causing ripples in the air.
The Tiger Restoration Pill had been completely refined, and Jiang Chen's entire body had changed. What was originally missing in his body had been completely recovered. His originally weak body had become almost perfect thanks to the Dragon Transformation Spell and the help of the Tiger Restoration Pill.
Furthermore, due to the effect of the Tiger Restoration Pill, the blood colored Dragon Mark inside his Dantian had completely condensed and was purely red.
"The first Dragon Mark has fully formed, with a strength of ten thousand pounds. Haha, Rank Nine of Qi Stage alone has a strength of ten thousand pounds. The Dragon Transformation Spell is indeed terrifying. Its foundation is much stronger than my previous life."
Jiang Chen laughed out loud. He threw out a punch and it produced a faint dragon's roar. A strength of ten thousand pounds was not an ordinary level of fear.
An ordinary early period of Qi Sea Stage wouldn't even reach ten thousand pounds of strength, only middle period of Qi Sea Stage could surpass this amount. With Jiang Chen's current strength, he wouldn't be inferior even if he fights a middle period of Qi Sea Stage.
After the first Dragon Mark was formed, all the primordial strength in Jiang Chen's body were stored inside it. With a casual shake of the Dragon Mark, it released out like a tidal wave and entered every inch of his body.
"However, having too strong of a foundation will also lead to difficulty in advancing. After I save up some energy, I will attempt to break through to the Qi Sea. At that time, I should be able to form another Dragon Mark."
Jiang Chen thought to himself. He had stored quite a few Human Origin Pills, and there were dozens of them. This was enough for him to use up energy to break through his Qi Sea Stage.
After forming a Dragon Mark, Jiang Chen's Qi and blood surged. His body was strong, and with the addition of his ten thousand pounds strength, he was like a human-shaped savage beast.
Stretching lazily, Jiang Chen walked out of the refining room. His pill workshop was completely still, and at this time, Zhou Beichen and the other two were in their respective pill refining rooms concocting pills.
After receiving Jiang Chen's Soul Refining Technique, the three old men had worked especially hard in their training, forgetting to eat or sleep when concocting pills.
Jiang Chen came to his living quarters and just as he sat down, he saw Jiang Cheng walking in anxiously.
"Jiang Cheng, what happened?"
Jiang Chen sipped the tea on the table.
"Young master, there are two people outside who want to meet the master of our pill workshop."
Jiang Cheng said.
"Master? What master? "
Jiang Chen started.
"The master who can refine Perfect Pill."
Jiang Cheng said. Only Jiang Zhenhai and the other three knew of Jiang Chen's identity as an alchemist, and everyone else thought that a powerful alchemist had come to the Jiang family, and even Jiang Cheng did not know that this alchemist was his young master.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"A young man and an old man. That young man was very arrogant, and said that he came from Red City."
Jiang Cheng said truthfully.
"From the Red City? Tell them to wait in the main hall, and that the master will be there in a moment. "
The Red City was a big city, and it wasn't something that the Heavenly Fragrant City could compare to. He was also interested to meet a person from Red City.
Not long after, Jiang Chen changed into a new set of clothes. He was dressed in a wide black robe and a bamboo hat on his head. A similar disguise to Murong Hao.
Jiang Chen stepped into the hall. Through the bamboo hat, he could see two people seated under Jiang Cheng's orders. One was a young man in white, around twenty years old, with a handsome appearance and arrogant attitude, the other one was an old man at his fifties, seated with calmness and peace.
What surprised Jiang Chen the most was their cultivation. The young man was actually a cultivator of the early period of Qi Sea Stage.
As for the old man, he had a faint overflow of soul power, and should be an alchemist. His cultivation was not weak, and he had already reached the middle period of Qi Sea Stage.
"You may leave."
Jiang Chen said to Jiang Cheng. His voice was hoarse, and Jiang Cheng was unable to tell it at all. He curiously looked at the Alchemist Master a few times, then respectfully walked out.
"Why didn't the young master come out with the master?"
Jiang Cheng scratched his head, puzzled.
