The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2581 - 2570: Signs of a Successful Pill
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
In the vast Barbarian Wasteland Mountains.
Ye Chenfeng and Shen Xiuhai, along with the others, all arrived here, while Long Gaoyuan stood silently to the side.
After deciding to come to the Barbarian Wasteland Mountains, Shen Xiuhai immediately activated the Shens’ Teleportation Array, bringing them directly near the mountains.
They found an open area deep in the mountains.
As Fan Qianrong had mentioned before, the Barbarian Wasteland Mountains are really barren. The spiritual energy is very thin within the mountains. The trees, though lush, are ordinary. It’s even hard to find spirit grass, with the ground growing nothing but common plants.
No wonder few cultivators enter this place, for even if they do, there’s no benefit to be gained, not even encountering beasts worth hunting.
Upon reaching the open area deep in the mountains, Ye Chenfeng started to set up formations on the ground, using spirit stones provided by Fan Qianrong and Shen Xiuhai.
The formation set up here is meant to withstand the heavenly tribulation of the supreme elixir. The Extreme Realm Pill that Ye Chenfeng previously refined could only be considered as an elixir between Ninth Grade and Supreme. At most, it was a half-step Supreme Elixir, not a true Supreme Elixir. Hence, the Boundless Breakthrough Elixir he’s refining this time is essentially his attempt at a true Supreme Elixir, requiring thorough preparation.
Ye Chenfeng’s formation setting method is swift and intricate. He’s been doing it non-stop for eight hours.
Shen Xiuhai and the others didn’t really have much to offer in assistance, considering the formations to withstand the heavenly tribulation must be crafted one after another solely by Ye Chenfeng.
Feeling amazed by the formations, Shen Xiuhai quietly remarked, "Fan, is my brother really too exceptional? These formations are intricate, and they are interconnected."
Fan Qianrong nodded, saying, "Senior Ye’s speed in setting formations is too rapid. Given his expertise and complexity in formations, he is at least at the master level, perhaps even beyond master level."
With a wry smile, Shen Xiuhai said, "Fan, do you think my brother is really from the Barbaric Lands outside the Divine Origin Realm? Why do I feel I’m the bumpkin around him?"
Both Fan Qianrong and Shen Tingyu glanced at Shen Xiuhai, seemingly implying that they felt this way all along.
Thirty years old, Initial Stage Divine Emperor Realm expert.
Thirty years old, Supreme Alchemist.
Thirty years old, formation master.
To them, this was beyond discouraging, leaving them almost feeling like banging their heads onto tofu to escape.
As time passed.
Another eight hours later.
Ye Chenfeng finally stopped, gazing at the hundred interconnected formations on the ground, nodding in satisfaction. He sat cross-legged at the formation’s center and said to Shen Xiuhai and the others, "I’m about to start alchemy."
Shen Xiuhai responded, "Brother, rest assured, we’ll guard outside the formation to ensure no one disrupts you."
Nodding, Ye Chenfeng prepared the materials for the Boundless Breakthrough Elixir, which Shen Xiuhai had previously provided. His Chaos Ring flickered, and all spirit grass appeared beside him.
Only two portions of spirit grass were available, meaning Ye Chenfeng had just two chances.
With a flip of his hand, Green Flame emerged from his palm, now evolved into five colors.
Upon seeing the Green Flame, Fan Qianrong expressed astonishment: "It turned into a five-colored Heaven and Earth Flame?"
Before his surprise faded.
Ye Chenfeng snapped his fingers.
A Jade Cauldron suddenly appeared before him.
White Jade Cauldron.
Middle Grade Heavenly Cauldron.
Ye Chenfeng had acquired it during his time in the Tian Xuan Realm.
Seeing the Middle Grade Heavenly Cauldron, Fan Qianrong was almost overwhelmed: "Am I seeing things? Senior Ye actually has a Middle Grade Heavenly Cauldron? Is he really from the barbaric lands? I feel like we’re the barbaric ones here!"
Shen Xiuhai and Shen Tingyu too, their mouths agape in shock, understood the rarity of a five-colored Heaven and Earth Flame and a Middle Grade Heavenly Cauldron.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t mind revealing this to Shen Xiuhai and the others because he has a keen sense of people, recognizing Shen Xiuhai and the rest as worth befriending. Even if he was wrong in judgment, he still had his life-saving methods.
As the White Jade Cauldron appeared.
Ye Chenfeng promptly infused the Green Flame into it.
He closed his eyes, repeatedly visualizing the process of refining the Boundless Breakthrough Elixir in his mind.
After about twenty renditions.
Ye Chenfeng opened his eyes, feeling confident and assured, although he possessed two spirit grass portions, preferring not to repeat the refining process if he succeeded in one attempt.
Taking a deep breath.
He slowly adjusted his breathing rhythm, for each alchemy step required utmost caution. Especially refining Supreme Elixirs, a slight irregularity in breath could lead to mishandled flames and a failed attempt.
Once preparations were complete.
Ye Chenfeng flicked the spirit grass for the Boundless Breakthrough Elixir into the White Jade Cauldron.
This elixir counts as a foundational Supreme Elixir, thus shouldn’t pose much difficulty to Ye Chenfeng.
Initially, Ye Chenfeng’s technique seemed a bit inconsistent.
Yet as time advanced.
his refining methods became increasingly proficient, indeed, the Boundless Breakthrough Elixir didn’t pose significant challenges to him.
Beyond the formation, Fan Qianrong observed without even batting an eye, cherishing the rare opportunity to witness a Supreme Alchemist in action closely.
Fan Qianrong’s admiration for Ye Chenfeng’s alchemy skills grew deeper; he was certain Ye Chenfeng was no ordinary Supreme Alchemist.
A sudden idea sprouted in his mind; he wanted to be tutored, aspiring to become Ye Chenfeng’s disciple.
Always eccentric in his ways, Fan Qianrong couldn’t shake off this thought once it emerged in his mind.
At that very moment.
A scent of elixir gradually wafted from the White Jade Cauldron.
And the vast blue sky suddenly turned blood red; fan Qianrong was delighted, saying: "A precursor sign of a Supreme Elixir forming."
Before a Supreme Elixir completes, the sky invariably changes colors.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, these seven hues.
For the Boundless Breakthrough Elixir, a foundational Supreme Elixir, the sky took on red, while higher-grade Supreme Elixirs prompt skies shifting to colors beyond red.
Should the sky turn violet, it signifies the highest quality Supreme Elixir refined.
Following the celestial color shift.
The corresponding heavenly tribulation would soon descend.
