Chapter 887: Chapter 467: Refine Dao Pill (Part 1)

After leaving the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Li Mu did not follow Fang Yun Sword back to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s station. Instead, he bid farewell to Fang Yun Sword, expressing his intention to find another place to refine artifacts.

"Elder Li, the South Wilderness Spirit Realm is no longer as peaceful as it once was, dangers lurk everywhere. Why not stay at the sect station for your safety?" Fang Yun Sword furrowed his brow slightly, his words revealing concern for Li Mu’s safety.

Li Mu smiled faintly, a determined light flickering in his eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, Steward Fang, but I’ve chosen a secluded and safe place, where no one will disturb my artifact refining. If you need to contact me for any important matters, simply use the token to send a message."

"If so, Elder Li, be cautious in all things." Fang Yun Sword saw that Li Mu was determined to leave and, knowing his resolute nature, did not try to persuade him further.

With that, Li Mu turned around, released the Earth Element Spirit Ship, and rode it like a bolt of lightning across the sky, speeding toward Yin Yang Valley.

Soon, the Earth Element Spirit Ship landed in Yin Yang Valley. Li Mu’s figure flashed as he flew out of the Spiritual Ship, putting away the Earth Element Spirit Ship and releasing the Four-sided House, a residence spiritual artifact, with an expansive interior space enough to accommodate a dozen cultivators for living and cultivation.

Li Mu settled the Four-sided House in the valley and immediately activated the pre-existing defense array around the area, ensuring Linggu’s safety.

Li Mu entered the Four-sided House Refining Room and took out the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, his figure vanished from where he stood.

Within the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Refining Room, Li Mu pondered for a moment before summoning the Purple Gold Fire Phoenix—Extreme Yang Spirit Fire, its form spiraling in mid-air, swiftly condensing into a blazing Celestial Fire Refining Furnace.

To benefit the crafts, one must first benefit the tools.

Before refining the Returning Void Pill, Li Mu prepared to first refine an alchemy furnace to aid in alchemy.

Artifact refining and alchemy are different paths leading to the same goal, using Spiritual Fire Power to temper spiritual materials and spirit medicines, allowing them to interact spiritually. However, compared to the coarse nature of initial stage artifact refining, complex middle-stage artifact array placement, and precise late-stage artifact pattern condensation, alchemy emphasizes the tempering and fusion of spirit medicines’ properties, as well as the subtle control of the fire. Pill Pattern formation is the essence of alchemy, condensing the pill’s essence and spirituality, and is indicative of the pill’s quality.

Therefore, if there is a high-quality alchemy furnace to assist in the alchemical process, it can significantly increase the success rate and the quality of the pills.

Li Mu immersed his Divine Sense into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, selecting suitable Artifact Spirit Materials for the alchemy furnace. Simultaneously, his mind raced, conceiving the artifact array and artifact pattern for the alchemy furnace.

Soon, Li Mu picked out a suitable primary spiritual material for the alchemy furnace, a Tier Seven—Star Gold Core, originating from the Star River left in this world when an outer realm Star Fragment collapsed. It contains extremely rich and dense Star Power.

Li Mu planned to use it as the foundation, paired with other Tier Six Spiritual Materials, to refine a Tier Six alchemy furnace with Star Power as auxiliary.

Star Power, gentle and restrained, is suitable for providing stable and pure fire power at the time of pill formation, ensuring perfect fusion of various medicinal properties during the refining process, removing impurities and enhancing quality.

Li Mu sat cross-legged, forming a Two-Hand Seal, slowly placing the Star Gold Core into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace for refinement.

Days later, the Star Gold Core, melted within the Celestial Fire Alchemy Furnace, transformed into a brilliant silvery molten liquid, its surface shimmering like a pouring galaxy. As Li Mu’s Heart Thought moved, the other Tier Six Spiritual Materials flew into the furnace one by one, revolving around the Star Gold Core.

Li Mu focused entirely, circulating his profound inner cultivation base, his Divine Thought firmly locked onto the furnace, displaying Artifact Refining Divine Techniques—Divine Refining Melting Spirit, like a master artisan, using Divine Thought to guide the silvery molten liquid, slowly shaping according to his design, gradually forming the initial shape of the alchemy furnace.

Before long, the artifact embryo of the alchemy furnace gradually took shape within the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace. The furnace body was circular, about three feet in diameter, covered with a delicate layer of silvery patterns resembling natural star patterns, flowing and changing with the furnace fire, shimmering with enchanting brilliance.

The lid was hemispherical, with a small Star Stone embedded in the center, emitting a gentle glow, adding a mysterious touch to the alchemy furnace. The lid was also engraved with intricate runes, these runes were the carefully designed artifact array by the Artifact Refiner, capable of channeling Star Power to provide stable fire power for the alchemical process.

The base of the alchemy furnace was supported by three legs, connected by a meandering Spirit Pattern between them, resembling a small Star River, sparkling with dazzling light under the reflection of the furnace fire. The tips of the three legs were embedded with tiny Star Fragments, not only stabilizing the center of gravity of the alchemy furnace but also providing additional Star Power.

Attached to the furnace body were eighty-one Star Spirit Pearls, resonating with the All Heaven Stars Golden Core, collectively forming the alchemy furnace’s artifact array, emitting a faint glow, blending with the silvery patterns of the furnace body, making the entire alchemy furnace mysterious and solemn, exuding a rich star aura.

Li Mu nodded slightly, the artifact embryo of the alchemy furnace was already taking shape, the artifact array within the furnace was completed, next, was to condense the artifact pattern, imparting its unique Star Law and spirituality.

Li Mu took a deep breath, forming seals with his hands, releasing immense Spiritual Power into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace, once again exhibiting Artifact Refining Divine Techniques—Artifact Pattern Forming Momentum, using Divine Thought as a brush and Spiritual Power as ink, began to condense the Star Artifact Pattern on the alchemy furnace.

Unlike previous refinements, this time Li Mu focused on the Star Attribute, aiming to create an alchemy furnace entirely centered on Star Power.
