In the center of the valley, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on a bluestone slab as he cultivated.
The density of the spiritual energy in the valley was more than ten times that of the outside world. Even a clear breath of air would cause spiritual energy to surge into Ye Xuan's body and fill his limbs and bones, causing him to feel extremely comfortable. Coupled with the medicinal power emitted by the various immortal herbs in the surroundings, cultivating here would be twice the result with half the effort.
While Ye Xuan was cultivating, Gu Beina was gathering all sorts of herbs in the valley.
There were many types of herbs here that were incomparably precious. There were some that even Ye Xuan couldn't name.
Any alchemist that came here would be attracted by the various rare herbs here.
After Ye Xuan finished cultivating here, he didn't leave with Gu Beina. Instead, he took out the medicinal cauldron to refine medicine.
The pill that Ye Xuan wanted to refine this time was a grade 1 Yellow Rank medicinal pill, the Pure Yang Pill. It was a pill that could allow a Corporeal Yang Stage cultivator to break through and advance by a small realm. The pill recipe was provided by Zi Huang.
Refining the Pure Yang Pill required: Pure Yang Fruit, Nine Yang Powder, Dragon Flame Grass, Scorching Sun Branch, and the extremely precious and rare Yang Flame.
Fortunately, there were many medicinal herbs in the valley. Although these medicinal herbs were rare in the outside world, they weren't rare here.
Ye Xuan quickly gathered the medicinal ingredients and began to refine the Pure Yang Pill.
First, Ye Xuan placed the medicinal cauldron on the stone platform, then poured the Star Emperor's Dragon Flames into the bottom of the cauldron to heat it up.
The temperature of the Star Emperor's Dragon Flames was extremely high, and the cauldron was quickly heated up. Ye Xuan first threw the Pure Yang Fruit into the cauldron, then added in the Nine Yang Powder, Dragon Flame Grass, and Scorching Sun Branch. When they were about done heating up, he threw in the Yang Flame, then poured his soul force into the cauldron to control the medicinal ingredients.
Immediately, a strange medicinal fragrance wafted out from the cauldron.
"So fragrant. Lord Ye Xuan, what pill are you refining?"
Gu Beina was attracted by the fragrance of the pill. She curiously stared at the cauldron and asked.
"Pure Yang …."
"Bam!"
Ye Xuan was about to reply, but just as he was halfway through his sentence, the medicinal cauldron exploded due to his distraction. The medicinal herbs inside were burned to ashes, causing Ye Xuan's face to be covered in dust.
His first attempt at refining the Pure Yang Pill had failed.
"Lord Ye Xuan, I'm sorry …" I shouldn't have asked. I've disturbed you. "
Seeing this, Gu Beina hurriedly blamed herself.
"Don't worry, it's not your fault …"
Ye Xuan lightly nodded his head, then took out the second medicinal cauldron that he'd prepared long ago and began to refine medicine again.
Bang!
This time, although Ye Xuan wasn't disturbed at all, just as the Pure Yang Pill was about to be refined, the medicinal cauldron exploded once again. The pill was destroyed and black ash splattered everywhere.
"This … Is concocting medicine that difficult?"
A bitter smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face as he looked at the exploding cauldron.
However, he was not willing to give up. He tried again, starting to refine the Pure Yang Pill.
However, no matter how many times he tried, his cauldron still exploded in the end. The Pure Yang Pill was not successfully refined, causing his expression to become extremely ugly.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the exploding cauldron, Ye Xuan carefully recalled the process of refining the Pure Yang Pill. His brows were tightly knitted together as he fell into a long period of silence and thought.
At first, because he had never refined a Pure Yang Pill before, his movements were a bit jerky. There were many parts that he wasn't familiar with, and he didn't handle the details well. However, as he refined more and more, he became more familiar with the medicinal effects and attributes of the Pure Yang Fruit, Nine Yang Powder, and Dragon Flame Grass. Why did he still fail in the end?
This caused Ye Xuan to be extremely puzzled.
He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He decided to take out the medicinal cauldron he prepared and try again, but in the end, the cauldron still exploded. The pill was destroyed and he was unable to successfully refine it, causing Ye Xuan to be incomparably depressed.
"Lord Ye Xuan, although I don't know how to refine medicine, I feel that there's nothing wrong with your refining technique. Moreover, it seems to be very powerful, but in the end, you failed. I don't think this is your problem …"
Gu Beina spoke in a low voice as she looked at Ye Xuan, who was almost in a state of autism.
As an ancient god, she wasn't good at refining medicine, nor had she learned how to refine medicine. However, she had inherited some of the medical skills and pharmacology knowledge of the Ancient God Clan. She was an alchemist and could barely see through it. After all, there were some things about medicinal herbs that were interconnected.
"It's not my problem? Then whose problem was it? Could it be these medicinal herbs? "That's not right, these medicinal herbs are of the best quality. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems."
Hearing Gu Beina's words, Ye Xuan frowned as he muttered.
"Kid, you didn't even notice such a simple problem? After many attempts, there is no problem with your refining technique, and there is no problem with these medicinal herbs. The real problem is with your medicinal cauldron … Your medicinal cauldrons are all ordinary pill furnaces, and true alchemists all have their own unique medicinal cauldrons. Your Star Emperor Dragon Flames are extremely powerful, and the temperature of the flames is frighteningly high. Ordinary medicinal cauldrons and pill furnaces are simply unable to withstand it, which is why they exploded during the process of your refining. “
At this moment, Zi Huang's voice sounded out from the bottom of Ye Xuan's heart.
"So that's how it is..."
Hearing Zi Huang's words, a look of understanding appeared on Ye Xuan's face.
After which, he frowned and said with a depressed expression, "But I only have these ordinary medicinal cauldrons. I didn't find any unique and suitable ones even after I finished touring the Dragon Flame Star … After all, there are no real alchemists on Earth."
"This is a problem you need to solve yourself. I am not an alchemist, so I do not dare to be interested in refining medicine."
Zi Huang lightly replied. No matter what Ye Xuan said, she didn't respond.
Ye Xuan's face was filled with depression and helplessness.
"Lord Ye Xuan, you look very unhappy. Is something the matter?" Or do you know the reason for your failure? "
Gu Beina asked in a low voice as she looked at Ye Xuan, who was frowning and depressed.
"Yes, I know why I failed. It's not because of my operation, but because of the cauldron. It's too ordinary and can't withstand the temperature of my flames …" I need a cauldron that's suitable for me to refine medicine, but there doesn't seem to be one here. "
Ye Xuan lightly nodded as he spoke in a low voice.
"Medicinal cauldron?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Gu Beina's brows tightly knitted together as she fell into a long period of silence and thought.
A moment later, she raised her head and her gaze descended onto Ye Xuan. She said in a low voice, "Lord Ye Xuan, I know that there's an ancient medicinal cauldron in the depths of the Alchemist Valley. No one in our Ancient God Tribe has ever used it. I wonder if it's suitable for you.
"Alright, let's go take a look."
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up as he quickly spoke.
"Yes, Lord Ye Xuan, come on me."
Gu Beina nodded lightly.
Ye Xuan leaped onto Gu Beina's shoulder. Her body instantly became enormous, transforming into a two hundred meter tall giant that charged into the depths of the valley.
After climbing a tall mountain and passing through a forest, Gu Beina brought Ye Xuan to the edge of a bottomless abyss.
On the other side of the abyss, on the mountain peak that towered into the clouds, a giant cauldron that was ninety-nine meters tall stood majestically.
The four legs of the huge cauldron were like pillars that supported the heavens, filled with explosive power and beauty. The four legs were engraved with dense ancient runes. Nine huge dragons were entrenched on the top of the cauldron, their heads facing the mouth of the cauldron and roaring at the sky, causing the entire cauldron to be filled with an indescribable oppressive and awe-inspiring power.
"This cauldron is called the Ancient God Cauldron. Rumor has it that it was created by the ancient ancestors of our Ancient God Clan, and is the symbol of our Ancient God Clan's royal power. There is a legend about it that the person who can move it is the king of our Ancient God Clan, and will lead our Ancient God Clan to glory. Countless clansmen have tried to move and subdue this Ancient God Cauldron when they reached adulthood, but no one has been able to move it."
"Later on, people gradually forgot about this story and this Ancient God Cauldron. Fewer and fewer people came to try to move it, so it has always been abandoned here … Lord Ye Xuan, although you're not a member of our Ancient God Clan, you're the person in the High Priest's prophecy. You can give it a try, maybe you can really subdue this Ancient God Cauldron and move it?"
Gu Beina looked at the towering Ancient God Cauldron. A complicated expression appeared on her exquisite face as she sank into a long period of memories.
After she finished speaking, her gaze descended onto Ye Xuan. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation.
"This... Such a big cauldron, I wonder how heavy it is …" I think I shouldn't try, right? "
Hearing Gu Bei Na's words and feeling her gaze filled with anticipation, Ye Xuan said with a bitter smile.
Such a large cauldron wasn't suitable for him at all.
"Since you're already here, why don't you give it a try? Maybe you really can move it and subdue it?"
Gu Beina encouraged.
Ye Xuan wanted to say something, but Gu Beina placed her hands on her chest.
As he prayed, he chanted an incantation that Ye Xuan didn't understand. A strange energy quietly spread out.
Ye Xuan felt the earth tremble at this moment. Countless rocks tumbled down from the surrounding cliffs and fell into the bottomless abyss below, causing Ye Xuan's expression to change slightly.
"Roar!"
A furious roar of a magical beast that contained boundless majesty came from the bottomless abyss below.
Under Ye Xuan's astonished gaze, an azure energy spread out from the bottomless abyss like a poisonous mist. An enormous azure dragon drilled out from the bottomless abyss, and a monstrous dragon's might spread out. Its enormous body appeared in Ye Xuan's line of sight, shocking his eyes.
In front of this ancient azure dragon, Ye Xuan felt as insignificant as an ant.
"Human?"
Half of the azure dragon's body was hidden in the drifting azure poisonous smoke below, revealing half of its body. Its enormous dragon eyes stared fixedly at Ye Xuan as it released a monstrous dragon's might, and ancient words came out of its mouth.
This ancient azure dragon was the guardian of the Ancient God Clan. It had existed since Gu Beina was born, and was responsible for protecting the Ancient God Cauldron.
"Lord Tian Qing …"
Gu Beina hurriedly said as she looked at the old azure dragon that had emerged from the bottomless abyss.
"Gu Beina, why did you bring a human here?"
The old azure dragon's gaze fell on Gu Beina as he asked coldly.
"Lord Tian Qing, this is Lord Ye Xuan. He's an esteemed guest of our Ancient God Tribe, and he's also the person who appeared in the High Priest's prophecy before his death. The reason Bei Na brought Lord Ye Xuan here was to have him try to subdue the Ancient God Cauldron.
Gu Beina quickly explained to the old azure dragon.
At the same time, she introduced him to Ye Xuan, "Lord Ye Xuan, this is the guardian of my Ancient God Clan, Lord Tian Qing. He's always been guarding this Ancient God Cauldron …"
"Greetings, Lord Tian Qing."
Ye Xuan nodded and respectfully cupped his fists towards the old azure dragon.
"Oh? She's actually the person in Gu Li Si's prophecy?
"Hearing Gu Beina's introduction to Ye Xuan, a trace of astonishment appeared on the old azure dragon's face. It was obvious that it knew the High Priest.
Following which, it turned its head around and looked at Ye Xuan with its dragon eyes. It lightly said, "Since you're the person prophesied by Gu Li Si, then I'll let you try."
"Shua!"
As he spoke, the old azure dragon lightly swung his tail. A cool breeze blew past and a cloud floated beneath Ye Xuan's feet.
"This …"
Ye Xuan looked at the enormous Ancient God Cauldron, then looked at the old azure dragon. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He really didn't want to try and subdue this Ancient God Cauldron. After all, it was too huge.
Just as Ye Xuan wanted to explain, the old azure dragon interrupted him and urged, "Human, hurry up."
"Lord Ye Xuan, hurry up and give it a try. Lord Tian Qing's temper isn't too good …"
Gu Beina also said to Ye Xuan.
"Fine."
Ye Xuan could only helplessly step onto the auspicious cloud.
Afterwards, the auspicious cloud floated and Ye Xuan flew over the bottomless abyss to the mountain peak where the Ancient God Cauldron was located.
Ye Xuan flew a circle around the Ancient God Cauldron on the auspicious cloud. He carefully observed the ancient characters and the nine lifelike dragons on the Ancient God Cauldron, then jumped down from the auspicious cloud and landed on the ground.
A helpless and bitter smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face as he looked at the Ancient God Cauldron that towered into the clouds. He felt that he was exceptionally small.
His height was like an ant in front of this enormous Ancient God Cauldron.
How could he possibly subdue and move such a large Ancient God Cauldron?
However, after seeing Gu Beina's encouraging and expectant gaze, Ye Xuan decided to give it a try.
As for the old azure dragon, it narrowed its eyes and didn't look at Ye Xuan. Instead, it was dozing off.
From his point of view, it was impossible for this tiny human to subdue and move this Ancient God Cauldron.
"Who cares, since I'm here, I might as well give it a try!"
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. He extended his hand to grab one of the Ancient God Cauldron's legs, then circulated the cultivation technique "Nirvana" to activate the energy within his body.
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, a buzzing sound rang out.
A strange scene suddenly occurred at this moment.
