Chapter 3333 - 1259: Seed Demon Transformation, Visitors from Youdu

"Let’s go!"

"Go where?"

"To the Alchemy Saint Hall, didn’t Yu Jiajia just mention there are some deficiencies in the elixir sector? I want to go have a look at the situation."

Chu Yan said casually, though she didn’t notice the subtle change in Luo Chen’s expression.

The two left Sitting Hidden Peak, heading towards the Alchemy Saint Hall.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered some Daoist Sect cultivators, all looking busy.

It seems the so-called celebration to greet the return of Venerable Tianyuan is indeed in preparation.

These Daoist Sect disciples, upon encountering Chu Yan, all respectfully greeted her, occasionally casting curious glances at Luo Chen following behind her, each with a hint of astonishment on their faces.

Everyone knew the Alchemy Saint was solitary and aloof within the sect, never showing any leniency.

Let alone having a man by her side, even in normal interactions, she rarely converses.

Who is this person that is so fortunate?

Chu Yan’s status within the Daoist Sect is somewhat unique; though many know the inside story, it doesn’t affect her esteemed position in the slightest.

This is evident from the Alchemy Saint Hall being set in the sect’s core area.

Passing by a solemn and grand mountain peak, Chu Yan casually remarked, "This is Yao Mountain, where the closed-door cultivation takes place. When the time comes for pilgrimage and audience, it will most likely be here."

Luo Chen silently nodded in agreement.

Yao Mountain, the site of Venerable Tianyuan’s Dao field!

It is also said to be the birthplace of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.

The concentration of Spirit Qi here is such that even with array prohibitions sealing it, one can still faintly feel it from outside.

Beyond Yao Mountain is the Alchemy Saint Hall.

The two locations are very close, just a few miles apart.

As soon as Chu Yan entered the hall, an elderly Divine Transformation cultivator proactively came to greet her.

"How are things?"

"Manpower is a bit tight, as everyone is attending to that furnace in the main hall, lacking human resources for refining the elixirs needed for the celebration, so we had to trouble you."

"Hmm, I understand. You can leave now!"

Chu Yan waved her hand and led Luo Chen towards the direction of the main hall.

The Divine Transformation cultivator curiously glanced at Luo Chen.

Chu Yan paused to explain briefly, "Xuan Luo, an alchemical genius of the Su Ling Sect, I’m giving him a tour."

"Oh, so he is the exceptional junior Elder Ancient Wood frequently mentions!"

The old man came to an epiphany, casting several curious glances at Luo Chen, seemingly wanting to know what exceptional qualities this young man possesses apart from his outstanding looks, such that even Elder Ancient Wood holds him in such high regard, and even Chu Yan is willing to have him by her side.

Having explained, Chu Yan said no more.

However, Luo Chen was somewhat puzzled.

Chu Yan seemed to have noticed his confusion, and proactively transmitted, "This person is Du Bailin, a renowned Pill Refiner of the sect for a long time, in charge of managing the trivial daily affairs of the Alchemy Saint Hall. More importantly, he is a direct descendant of Venerable Tianyuan."

Luo Chen suddenly understood, no wonder Chu Yan treated this person so seriously.

He indeed was different from others.

Upon entering the main hall, Luo Chen instantly felt a wave of overwhelming heat hit him.

His spirit lifted as he gazed at the center of the hall.

He saw a massive Pill Furnace standing in the middle, surrounded by chains extending from the Coiled Dragon Pillars, securing the Pill Furnace.

And in front of the Pill Furnace were two statues of a dragon and a phoenix, continuously spewing out golden and black flames, ceaselessly burning the massive Pill Furnace.

Moreover, in each corner around the hall, figures were seated cross-legged, intermittently channeling qi power onto the Pill Furnace.

Those cultivators were all distinguished by their formidable aura.

The weakest among them had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and the stronger ones were even beyond Elder Ancient Wood.

The most crucial part was that all these people were Pill Refiners!

"What kind of elixir are they refining with such an extravagant lineup?"

Luo Chen was utterly astounded, recalling that, when he refined some Fifth Order Elixirs, such a lavish formation wasn’t seen.

This time, Chu Yan provided no explanation, merely standing there as if allowing Luo Chen time to observe.

Her actions frequently drew the attention of the Pill Refiners within the hall.

A moment later, Chu Yan gestured, taking Luo Chen with her as they left the main hall for a Side Hall.

"Did you notice anything?" Chu Yan asked with keen interest.

Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, but still replied slowly, "The Coiled Dragon Pillar draws Earth Qi. The furnace reveals the sun and moon, gathering essence. Those two flames, one gold and one black, are clearly two types of high-level divine fires with opposing natures. I estimate they’re refining some kind of elixir with opposite properties inside the furnace. Most importantly, the entire main hall is arranged with an extraordinarily powerful array, aimed at nourishing. I suppose the elixir inside the furnace is formed, but still far from becoming a finished pill."

Chu Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, for such a short time, you grasped so much, showing your studies, though extensive, are very mastered. As for the elixir in the furnace..."

Chu Yan whispered quietly, "It’s Holy Demon Essence Liquid, primarily crafted using a drop of Nether River Divine Milk!"

Such was the extent of what she disclosed; she refrained from explaining the effects of the Holy Demon Essence Liquid, which realm of cultivators it’s for, or for whom specifically it was being refined.

But even with just that information, Luo Chen couldn’t hide his look of astonishment.

He had heard of the Nether River Divine Milk before.

Not from Mystic Realm scriptures, but rather from a volume of Alchemy Scriptures he came across back in the Pill Saint Inheritance within the Land of Fallen Demons.

Rumor has it that the Demon Realm contains a river called the Nether River, which has flowed for eons, bearing the grand title of the "Source of All Demons!"

And Nether River Divine Milk is a special product from this river.

Its effects are remarkably heaven-defying, not just permitting Tendon Changing and marrow cleansing, Spirit Root refining, but also shedding the Red Dust Qi of the Primordial Spirit.
