After informing Yang Zhenshan about the pursuit, he orders the evacuation of Spring Valley, with Lin Qihe and the others to await his return in Wanbao Immortal City.

Chapter 1870: Chapter 1124: Divine Pill with Spirit

Three months later.

Inside the Pill Hall, the Furnace of Eight Trigrams emitted a faint, lingering fragrance. The rich aroma filled the entire hall, and both Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan felt a sense of euphoria as they inhaled it.

The sensation was like drinking a cold spring water on a hot day, leaving them feeling transparent and refreshed from head to toe.

“What an incredible elixir, just a hint of its aroma has filled me with vitality!” Zhang Hexuan exclaimed, his eyes fixed intently on the Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

“It seems my cultivation has improved as well!” Yang Zongyuan was equally astonished.

Yang Zhenshan, however, remained unmoved, observing the fluctuations inside the Pill Furnace with a calm expression.

“Prepare to retrieve the elixir!”

He softly instructed.

Zhang Hexuan quickly fetched a jade plate, while Yang Zongyuan kept a close eye on the lid of the Pill Furnace, fearing that the elixir inside might escape.

Yang Zhenshan slowly stood up, flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand, and uttered a syllable.

“Seal!”

A powerful Dao Rhyme instantly enveloped the Pill Furnace, and the invisible Void Dao Intent sealed it, preventing any more fragrance from escaping.

Then he channeled his Power of Divine Soul into the Pill Furnace, forcefully kneading the crystalline potion within.

Just like rolling medicine balls, he forcibly created two elixirs inside the Pill Furnace.

Under normal circumstances, the array in the Pill Furnace would automatically condense the potion into elixirs, but the current situation was anything but normal.

The ingredients used to refine the Evergreen Pill totaled hundreds, and their conflicting properties made it difficult to blend, even for the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Left with no choice, Yang Zhenshan resorted to this crude and simplistic method.

Using his formidable Power of Divine Soul to forcibly knead the potion into elixirs.

Although this could lead to a failed alchemy session, it was the best solution Yang Zhenshan could think of at the moment.

Unless Yang Zhenshan could find a better Pill Furnace, one at least of the highest-grade spiritual artifact level.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find one now; both the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace and the Sealing Spirit Mysterious Fire Furnace were merely mid-grade spiritual artifacts.

With the Void Dao Intent sealing and the Power of Divine Soul compressing, the potion inside the Pill Furnace began to agitate, shaking the furnace violently.

“Oh no, this thing is so fierce, it’s trying to break through my barrier!”

“Master, let me burn it to ashes!”

The Golden Crow shouted angrily.

It was the Artifact Spirit of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, which was its true form.

The intense conflict of properties made it extremely uncomfortable, as if worms were gnawing at its stomach; the pain was secondary, the main issue was potential damage to its form.

“No need!”

Yang Zhenshan refused mercilessly.

He, of course, knew this would significantly damage the Eight Trigrams Furnace, but such damage was reparable, while if the elixir batch failed, he wouldn’t know when he could refine it again.

“Ah~~~” The Golden Crow fluttered its wings, circling around the Eight Trigrams Furnace, occasionally letting out strange cries, as if exerting all its might to compete with the elixir inside.

“Oh no, my belly is going to burst!”

“Shut up!”

Yang Zhenshan shot it a dissatisfied glare, but it looked aggrieved, “Master, my belly really is about to burst!”

Yang Zhenshan felt speechless for a moment but still comforted, “Don’t worry, it’s almost over!”

With that, he further augmented the Power of Divine Soul he was exerting.

The seconds ticked by, the massive Furnace of Eight Trigrams trembled as if it were about to leap, but as time went on, Yang Zhenshan managed to suppress the elixir inside.

With a bang, the lid was opened, and two elixirs tumbled out of the Pill Furnace.

The jade-green elixirs, about the size of Longan fruit, were enveloped in a gentle blue glow, covered in densely packed runes on the surface.

They were actually trying to escape!

Yang Zhenshan could clearly feel their energy. If he hadn’t preemptively sealed the surrounding space, they might have indeed managed to get away.

Divine Pills have a spirit; back in the Sun Cave Heaven, when the Nine Tripod Divine Pills emerged, they too fled in all directions.

Although the spirituality of Divine Pills is low, they possess their own instincts. When encountering danger, they choose to flee.

At that time, in the Sun Cave Heaven, when faced with everyone’s pursuit, the Nine Tripod Divine Pills instinctively fled haphazardly.

The same was happening now with the Evergreen Pills; facing Yang Zhenshan’s confinement, their instinct was to escape.

However, they were clearly unable to break free from Yang Zhenshan’s compulsion.

Yang Zhenshan firmly suppressed the two freshly minted Divine Pills with his Power of Divine Soul, frowning as he looked at Zhang Hexuan.

“Jade plate won’t do, Zongyuan, bring out the Sealing Spirit!”

Recovering from his shock, Yang Zongyuan hurriedly fetched the Sealing Spirit Mysterious Fire Furnace.

“It’s ready, Patriarch!”

Yang Zhenshan immediately threw the two elixirs into the Sealing Spirit Mysterious Fire Furnace.

Once the lid was closed, the agitated Evergreen Pills calmed down instantly. The Sealing Spirit emerged from the Pill Furnace, examining its furnace before proclaiming, “Success! Their spirituality is high, comparable to the previous Nine Tripod Divine Pills.”

“But their quality isn’t particularly high, probably just mid-grade!”

Yang Zhenshan rolled his eyes; what about mid-grade? Mid-grade is still the Evergreen Pill.
