Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 464 - 462: Exploded

The next day, Lin Yuan and Lev were nowhere to be found in the entire manor.

Zhan Yang and the others were extremely shocked.

"Jiang Chen, have you seen Lin Yuan and Lev? We didn’t see them leave last night."

The group asked Jiang Chen, their faces full of surprise.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "I don’t know either. Maybe they left quietly."

Only Jiang Chen knew where the two had gone, but he certainly wasn’t going to tell.

Zhan Yang and the others were helpless.

However, he suddenly said, "Yesterday, they mentioned that when they were no longer here, this manor would be yours."

Jiang Chen naturally intended to accept all of the Lin Family’s assets.

Then again, the Lin Family didn’t really have much left.

Since no one knew where Lin Yuan and Lev had gone after their sudden departure, they didn’t ask any more questions.

They all remained at the Lin Family Manor.

"Jiang Chen, come with me."

Zhan Yang beckoned to Jiang Chen, his expression a little strange.

Slightly surprised, Jiang Chen followed Zhan Yang to a pavilion.

"What is it?"

Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

Seeing Zhan Yang acting so furtively made him curious.

Zhan Yang seemed to ponder for a moment. He looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitant, as if it was difficult to bring up. But after a while, he finally dropped a bombshell on Jiang Chen. "Jiang Chen, marry my sister, JinLing."

Those were Zhan Yang’s words.

Jiang Chen was completely stunned, totally bewildered.

Zhan Yang’s words were too sudden.

He wanted to marry his sister JinLing off to him.

Jiang Chen had honestly never considered it.

Under Zhan Yang’s gaze, Jiang Chen shook his head and refused.

"Let’s just forget it."

"Don’t bring this up again."

He already had someone in his heart, so he would naturally not marry JinLing.

Although JinLing was a fine girl, Jiang Chen had no such feelings for her.

Zhan Yang was also taken aback.

He then asked, "You don’t like my sister?"

"Actually, my sister quite likes you."

"You should be able to tell."

He was telling the truth. JinLing had indeed repeatedly expressed her affection for Jiang Chen in subtle ways.

And Jiang Chen had ignored all of them.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen finally said, "I know how she feels, but my heart already belongs to someone else."

"I don’t want to hold her back."

Jiang Chen could only refuse JinLing’s kind intentions.

Zhan Yang sighed. He actually thought very highly of Jiang Chen.

Now that Jiang Chen had rejected him, he knew that his sister probably had no hope.

In fact, this had been JinLing’s idea too. But since JinLing was a woman, it wasn’t easy for her to say it herself.

Afterward, Jiang Chen prepared to enter closed-door cultivation.

After saying his goodbyes to everyone, Jiang Chen was alone in a secret chamber.

Sitting cross-legged, Jiang Chen took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed his mind.

In this life, his goal was to return to the Peak, and even break through to a higher Realm that he had never reached in his previous life.

And his greatest strength was, of course, his Alchemy Skill.

Now that he had obtained the Black Fire Spark, it would continuously produce Black Fire for him to use.

At this moment, inside his sea of consciousness, a burning flame floated quietly, constantly releasing black flames.

It was the Black Fire Spark.

To break through in his Alchemy Skill, the Black Fire was crucial.

Immediately, Jiang Chen beckoned to the Black Fire Spark.

"Appear!"

With a low shout, the Black Fire Spark instantly appeared in the secret chamber, leaving his sea of consciousness.

This secret chamber was located beneath the Lin Family Manor, and Jiang Chen had already sealed it from the outside.

It would be very difficult for outsiders to detect his Black Fire.

He hadn’t obtained this Black Fire easily. It was a supreme treasure, and he couldn’t let its aura leak out.

He now controlled the Black Fire, making it hover before his eyes.

Instantly, the temperature in the secret chamber rose significantly.

If Jiang Chen weren’t the master of the Black Fire, he would have likely been burned to death by it already.

"HSSSSS..."

Black Fire continuously erupted from the Black Fire Spark, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly as it burned.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied.

Without further hesitation, with a single thought, a Pill Furnace flew out from his Spatial Ring.

After appearing, the Pill Furnace slowly rotated, also floating in front of Jiang Chen.

Previously, when Jiang Chen performed Alchemy, he had used ordinary flames. With ordinary flames, tools like braziers or fire pits were necessary.

But now that he possessed a Fire of Heaven and Earth within him, he had no need for such things.

With just a thought, he could control the Fire of Heaven and Earth, easily heating the Pill Furnace.

Furthermore, the temperature changed according to his will, which was even more advantageous for Alchemy.

He had the Pill Furnace and the Fire of Heaven and Earth. All he needed now were the ingredients.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen hadn’t been idle, and he carried a large number of medicinal herbs with him.

’This time, I’ll refine a Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill.’

Back when Jiang Chen was a Second-Grade Alchemist, the Foundation Strengthening Pill he refined had been of Purple Gold Quality, causing a sensation in Hanwu City.

A Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill, however, was an Elixir capable of significantly boosting a Martial King’s Cultivation. Its medicinal effects were naturally immense.

Once refined, it would surely be in high demand.

"SWOOSH!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen made a pile of ingredients appear beside him.

Having prepared the ingredients, Jiang Chen smiled faintly, full of confidence.

’This time, I’ll smoothly break through to become a Third-Grade Alchemist.’

He already had the experience; what he had lacked was a Fire of Heaven and Earth. Now that he had one, becoming a Third-Grade Alchemist was practically a matter of course.

He held the ingredients and controlled the Pill Furnace. The Black Fire enveloped the furnace, its temperature changing with his thoughts.

The first batch of the Elixir instantly reached the final stage.

’Not bad, everything is going smoothly. Now I just have to wait for the Pill to form.’

It was surprisingly smooth, much smoother than Jiang Chen had imagined.

The Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill had reached the pill-formation stage almost in a single, fluid motion.

As long as the Pill formed, regardless of its final quality, he would become a Third-Grade Alchemist.

He was refining the Foundation Strengthening Pill also because now that he had reached the Martial King Cultivation Realm, he could consume Elixirs to improve his own Cultivation.

Before reaching the Martial King Cultivation Realm, one’s time was meant for building a foundation. Jiang Chen had never taken Elixirs, precisely to ensure his foundation was stable.

Now that he had reached the Martial King Cultivation Realm and his foundation was extremely stable, he needed to raise his Cultivation quickly, making Elixirs indispensable.

"Condense!"

Focusing his mind, Jiang Chen watched the roiling medicinal liquid inside the Pill Furnace as it gradually began to solidify.

Under the control of Jiang Chen’s Divine Thought, it began to compress and coalesce.

Slowly, a Pill began to take shape.

’Not bad, not bad...’

Just as Jiang Chen was about to praise his own work, the medicinal liquid, which was on the verge of forming a Pill, suddenly grew agitated.

’Not good! A mistake in control. The Pill is going to explode!’

Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly. He had made a small slip-up in his control just now.

It had instantly destabilized the Elixir.

He watched as the medicinal liquid became harder and harder to control.

"BOOM!"

With a muffled bang, thick black smoke billowed out of the Pill Furnace.

The black smoke instantly filled the entire secret chamber.

Even Jiang Chen himself was engulfed by the black smoke, his face turning as black as coal.

It was hard to tell if his face was pale with anger or just stained by the smoke.

’Damn it! To think I actually failed on the first try.’

Failing in Alchemy is actually very normal.

But Jiang Chen wouldn’t allow himself to fail. This failure made him feel incredibly frustrated.
