Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen hadn’t expected his first attempt at refining a Third-Grade Elixir to end in failure.

He waved a hand, clearing the black smoke from the sealed chamber, and fell into deep thought.

’Looks like my technique has gotten a little rusty. I need to keep practicing.’

’Hopefully, the second attempt will be a success.’

Jiang Chen noted where he had gone wrong. He carefully re-evaluated the entire process, mentally perfecting every detail to avoid any more mistakes.

Only then did he begin his second attempt.

Alchemy was a craft that demanded extreme attention to detail.

On his second try, Jiang Chen was even more meticulous.

He executed every detail to perfection.

’This is the final step, the moment of truth.’

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed. He was nearing the final stage of pill formation.

Under the constant refinement of the Black Fire, the Foundation Strengthening Pill began to condense and take shape as strands of impurities were continuously burned away.

Finally, the pill took form.

Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief.

An ordinary Alchemist would need a very long time just for the initial practice before they could successfully form a pill.

But Jiang Chen was so experienced that he could cut out a great deal of unnecessary practice.

He could practically get it right in one go, forming the pill directly.

After all, for an ordinary Alchemist to advance from Second Grade to Third Grade, it was difficult to succeed without failing hundreds of times.

Even a genius Alchemist would need dozens of tries.

Yet Jiang Chen had done it in a single successful attempt.

After the pill formed, he still had to continue refining it to expel impurities.

Impurities were continuously burned away.

The pill, which started at the Black Iron Level, gradually began to show a hint of silvery-white.

Jiang Chen didn’t even bother with Black Iron Quality now; Elixirs of that grade were useless to him.

He didn’t even give Silver Quality Elixirs a second glance. Nothing less than Gold Quality would do.

His goal was to refine a Golden Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Purging the impurities was a mentally taxing affair.

Fortunately, since his Cultivation had broken through, Jiang Chen’s spiritual energy was exceptionally abundant.

About two hours later, Jiang Chen saw that the Foundation Strengthening Pill had turned completely silvery-white.

A pure, Silver Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Of course, this wasn’t the limit. Jiang Chen found that with the help of his Black Fire, he could continue to purge impurities.

After some more time, rays of golden light began to emanate from the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Finally, the Foundation Strengthening Pill reached Gold Quality.

However, Jiang Chen found that once the Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill reached Gold Quality, he could refine it no further.

If he continued to refine it, the pill would certainly explode.

Alchemy was not something one could master overnight. He would need a period of gradual practice before he could once again refine a Purple Level Quality Elixir.

He immediately stopped refining the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

After that, Jiang Chen continued to refine Foundation Strengthening Pills. His failure rate dropped significantly, and he didn’t have a single pill explode on him again.

Moreover, the quality of his Foundation Strengthening Pills grew higher and higher.

Their golden glow grew more and more intense.

It took a full ten days, but the Foundation Strengthening Pills Jiang Chen refined finally reached a pure Gold Quality, with no trace of Silver Quality left in them.

"Phew!"

As he finished refining the last batch of pills, Jiang Chen let out a long breath.

In ten days, he had refined dozens of Elixirs, and even the worst among them were Gold Quality.

This was a level of achievement many Alchemists could not hope to reach in a lifetime.

Yet he had accomplished it with relative ease.

With that, Jiang Chen temporarily stopped refining Foundation Strengthening Pills.

He then tried refining other Third-Grade Elixirs.

He found that he could refine all of them to Gold Quality.

Clearly, Jiang Chen had become a true Third-Grade Alchemist.

He stopped his Alchemy for the time being.

Jiang Chen reached out and took out a Spirit Beast Bag.

He gestured toward the Spirit Beast Bag.

WHOOSH!

A moment later, a flash of black light appeared. A closer look revealed it to be the unconscious Black Fire Crow.

The Black Fire Crow was a master at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens, just one step away from attaining Martial Emperor Cultivation.

Now, however, it lay in a coma, having been struck unconscious by the One-Eyed Snow Worm in Guyue City. Its Life Force was only barely being sustained by Jiang Chen’s Elixirs.

But that could only keep it alive for five years.

Once those five years were up, the Black Fire Crow would die if he hadn’t found a solution.

Jiang Chen grew pensive.

’To save the Black Fire Crow, I have to refine a Celestial Destiny Pill.’

’The problem is, I’m missing the ingredients needed to refine a Celestial Destiny Pill.’

The only way Jiang Chen could save the Black Fire Crow was with a Third-Grade Celestial Destiny Pill. It was the least effective version, of course, and while more advanced Elixirs existed, Jiang Chen was currently unable to refine them.

A Third-Grade Celestial Destiny Pill would stop the Black Fire Crow’s Life Force from fading and allow it to gradually recover.

Its Cultivation would also be fully restored.

He placed the Black Fire Crow back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Jiang Chen suddenly said in a low voice, "All of you, come out."

Black shadows flickered, and in an instant, the entire sealed chamber was filled with a dense horde of monsters.

Green-haired Zombies, Silver-haired Zombies, and even the Golden-haired Zombie King were all present.

They all looked toward Jiang Chen.

SWOOSH!

A flash of purple light revealed the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf King appearing at Jiang Chen’s side.

It glanced warily at the Golden-haired Zombie King and the other Silver-haired Zombies.

It realized that every single being here posed a grave threat to it.

’Looks like my master has captured another batch of experts.’

"ROAR!"

The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf growled at the Zombies.

The Zombies all snarled back, baring their fangs in a show of aggression.

If Jiang Chen hadn’t been there, the two sides would have likely started fighting.

"Quiet. All of you, be quiet."

Jiang Chen ordered with a cold snort.

He looked at the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf and his Zombies.

The Purple-Haired Demon Wolf was at the Martial King First Heaven Realm.

As for his Zombies, besides the Golden-haired Zombie King, there were a full twenty Silver-haired Zombies.

The most powerful among them had reached the Martial King Ninth Heaven.

Even the weakest had just broken through to the Martial King Cultivation Realm.

The remaining Green-haired Zombies were all at the Martial Artist Realm.

In other words, besides his own power, Jiang Chen now had a considerable number of experts at his side.

With this level of Combat Power, he could be considered powerful enough to dominate the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Of course, Jiang Chen intended to keep a low profile and would not reveal these assets.

He had released the Zombies and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf because he had a plan.

That’s right. As an Alchemist, it wasn’t difficult for him to help his Zombies and Spirit Beast increase their Cultivation; all he had to do was refine enough Elixirs.

Of course, that would require a massive amount of spirit crystals.

And he would certainly have to purchase the alchemy ingredients himself.

’To make the Zombies evolve, I need to refine Blood Corpse Pills.’

’And for the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf’s evolution, I need Spirit Feeding Pills.’

Jiang Chen had long been planning to refine these Elixirs.

Now that he was a Third-Grade Alchemist, he couldn’t do much to boost the Cultivation of the Golden-haired Zombie King, who was at the Martial Arts Cultivation Realm. However, he could raise the Cultivation of the Green-haired Zombies, the Silver-haired Zombies, and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf.

The ingredients for the Blood Corpse Pill and the Spirit Feeding Pill were not particularly hard to find.

The Blood Corpse Pill required the fresh blood of Demon Beasts, along with some other relatively common ingredients.

Of course, the blood of higher-level Demon Beasts would lead to a more significant evolution for the Zombies.

As for the Spirit Feeding Pill, he had a Moyang Flower root. Jiang Chen planned to cultivate it. With a large supply of Moyang Flowers, he could refine a great number of Spirit Feeding Pills and help his Demon Beasts evolve.

Not only the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, but any other Demon Beasts he captured in the future could also evolve.
