Time passed by, and the valley was very quiet. There was no sound. Deep in the valley, on the white jade platform, an ancient bronze cauldron was gradually covered by a layer of hazy light.
A strong spiritual fluctuation came out of the ancient cauldron, and a fiery aura spread out on the white jade platform. The surrounding temperature was gradually rising.
The ancient bronze cauldron on the white jade platform, although it was also a rare treasure, it was not a treasure that had a spirit, and could not automatically refine elixirs.
The reason why the ancient cauldron was abnormal was because of the person trapped in it. That person was Gu Fei, who was thrown into the ancient bronze cauldron by Yan 'er.
Unknowingly, Gu Fei had already spent two days and two nights in the ancient bronze cauldron. During this time, Gu Fei was always in a deep state of meditation, and the Mysterious Arts in his body were constantly running.
His body was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing the huge amount of spiritual energy contained in the spiritual liquid in the cauldron.
His consciousness was in a state of half-awake and half-dreaming. He could only vaguely sense what was happening in the outside world. This kind of feeling was very unreal, as if he was in the clouds and fog, and could not be accurate.
The spiritual energy in the ancient bronze cauldron was rising, and the rays of light were circling around Gu Fei's body. The Ancient Martial Arts Cultivation Method was indeed extraordinary. Even if his body was extremely weak, Gu Fei could still use a little essence in his body to guide the spiritual energy in the cauldron into his body to expel the Yin and Ghost Qi in his body.
For two days, he used the spiritual energy in the cauldron to nourish his weak body and gradually wear down the Yin and Ghost Qi in his body. This method seemed to be effective, and he succeeded in expelling a small part of the Mysterious Yin and Ghost Qi.
Gu Fei found that although this method was effective, the speed of expelling the Yin and Ghost Qi was extremely slow. At this current speed, it would probably take more than a hundred years to completely expel the Yin and Ghost Qi in his body.
In the ancient bronze cauldron, the spiritual liquid concocted by Yan 'er was full of spiritual Qi. Moreover, most of the spiritual herbs dissolved in the spiritual liquid were extremely dry and hot. They gathered together to form a strong Yang Qi, which happened to restrain the Xuanyin Ghost Qi in Gu Fei's body.
On the morning of the third day, Gu Fei showed no sign of stopping inside the bronze cauldron. The spiritual waves from the cauldron seemed to be even stronger than before.
On the white jade platform, there was a blazing aura.
At this time, a wave of magic power suddenly came from the entrance of the valley. Someone was opening the seal at the entrance of the valley. Then, a purple figure walked in from outside the valley as if he had passed through a transparent water curtain.
That violet colored figure moved gracefully like a fleeting shadow, nimble like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world, and she approached gracefully like a celestial maiden that had walked out from a painting.
There were all sorts of restrictions set up in the valley. If one wasn't someone from the Pill Cauldron School, it would be impossible for them to enter. The person who had just entered was the only successor of the Pill Cauldron School, Yan 'er. Once she entered the valley, she walked straight into the depths of the valley.
As she approached the white jade platform, she suddenly paused and a strange expression appeared on her face. She had sensed something strange on the platform.
Yan 'er's beautiful face revealed a hint of astonishment as she walked onto the white jade platform. She stared at the steaming ancient bronze cauldron and mumbled to herself, "I didn't expect him to have such a trick up his sleeve. His body is like rotten wood but he can still attract spiritual Qi into his body."
"Hehe, that's good too. It saves me a lot of effort!" As Yan 'er spoke, she sat down cross-legged in front of the ancient bronze cauldron and began to form a spell with her hands.
Waves of magic power rippled out from Yan 'er's hands. Then, Yan' er sent rays of light condensed from her magic power towards the ancient bronze cauldron in front of her.
The magical light entered the body of the cauldron. Then, the mysterious runes on the ancient bronze cauldron began to light up. Yan 'er seemed to be activating the ancient bronze cauldron.
As the rays of light condensed from magic power entered the body of the cauldron, an immeasurably ancient aura began to emit from the ancient cauldron.
The surface of the ancient cauldron was covered with runes which formed into countless magic formations that were branded onto the cauldron's body. This magic formation was neither an offensive nor a defensive magic formation. It was a magic formation used for alchemy.
Yan 'er was activating the alchemy magic formation on the ancient cauldron and releasing the power of alchemy fire.
The ancient bronze cauldron began to emit waves of powerful energy. The runes on the cauldron's body began to appear and the spiritual Qi around the white jade platform began to gather towards the ancient bronze cauldron.
The alchemy magic formation began to gather the surrounding spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and turned it into alchemy fire. Wisps of fire energy began to emerge from the cauldron's body like tiny fire snakes swimming around the cauldron's body.
The alchemy magic formation did not release the alchemy fire outwards. Instead, it burned towards the inside of the cauldron.
"Rumble …" The ancient bronze cauldron began to vibrate. Then, it left the ground and floated above the white jade platform. Slowly, it began to rotate.
Yan 'er, who was sitting cross-legged on the white jade platform, had a grave expression on her face. She stared at the ancient bronze cauldron in the sky and shot out rays of light. As more and more magic formations were activated, the entire ancient bronze cauldron began to flow with fiery red fire energy.
It was not an ordinary fire. Instead, it was the alchemy magic formation on the ancient bronze cauldron. It condensed the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and transformed it into alchemy fire. It was the Taoist True Fire.
This small mountain valley was actually where the Pill Cauldron School concocted pills. The reason why it was completely barren, without any plants, was because the people of the Pill Cauldron School concocted pills here. The heat released by the people of the Pill Cauldron School had turned this place into a wasteland.
As the alchemy magic formation on the body of the ancient bronze cauldron was gradually activated, wisps of fire energy began to seep into the cauldron from the outside. The dark green spiritual liquid in the cauldron began to be evaporated by the fire energy and turned into spiritual mist.
As more and more alchemy magic formations were activated, the temperature in the ancient bronze cauldron began to rise rapidly. Gu Fei, who was in a deep meditative state, seemed to feel something strange around him.
"What's going on?" Very quickly, Gu Fei woke up from his meditative state. All he saw was a blurry mist in front of him. Waves of heat surged from all directions, making him feel like he was in a furnace.
In reality, he really was in a furnace.
"Yan 'er, what are you doing?" Gu Fei shouted. He felt that something was wrong. The surrounding temperature was still rising rapidly. The high temperature in the cauldron made him feel pain all over his body. His skin felt like it was about to split open.
Outside the ancient bronze cauldron, Yan 'er did not answer. In reality, at this moment, she could not speak at all.
Yan 'er's entire body was filled with spiritual energy. Her movements of summoning spiritual energy became slower and slower. She even felt a wave of exhaustion. She really wanted to stop. However, she could not stop. This was a critical moment. If she stopped, all her previous efforts would be wasted and she would have to start all over again.
"I still need ten more alchemy magic formations." Yan 'er clenched her teeth and continued to summon spiritual energy. At this moment, she was sweating profusely. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her face and dripped onto the ground.
Although she was activating the simplest alchemy fire magic formation on the ancient bronze cauldron, it was still extremely taxing.
"Wah!"
Gu Fei's scream came from within the cauldron. He felt as if he had jumped into a volcano. His entire body felt like it was surrounded by magma.
The spiritual liquid in the cauldron was boiling. It constantly evaporated due to the high temperature and turned into a spiritual mist. What was terrifying was that the temperature of the spiritual mist seemed to be even more terrifying than the heat that was surging in from all directions.
The ancient bronze cauldron emitted an unfathomable force that bound the spiritual mist that was evaporated from the spiritual liquid inside the ancient cauldron. It just happened to envelop Gu Fei. An unfathomable force seemed to be pressing down on Gu Fei. The spiritual mist outside his body drilled into his pores through his body.
The spiritual mist formed by the alchemy fire contained pure spiritual energy. However, at the same time, it also contained a terrifying heat. Gu Fei felt as if traces of magma had drilled into his body. From top to bottom, his meridians, his flesh, and even his bones, there were countless fire snakes slithering about.
His entire body, from the inside out, was being mercilessly burned. The terrifying pain stimulated Gu Fei's sensitive nerves, causing him to scream and almost have a mental breakdown.
"Argh! So painful! Stop right now! " Gu Fei screamed. Even though his mind was as firm as iron, he could not endure the pain in his body.
"Good! It's finally done! " Yan 'er used the last spiritual technique and shot out the last ray of spiritual light condensed from her spiritual energy. She activated the last alchemy array. "Bang!" The entire ancient bronze cauldron was immediately covered in a ball of fire.
The alchemy array began to operate. Spiritual energy from all directions converged and turned into raging flames. The entire cauldron turned into a huge fireball in the blink of an eye.
When Yan 'er heard the inhuman screams coming from the ancient bronze cauldron, she could not help but frown. She thought to herself, "Didn't this guy say that he could endure any pain?"
Yan 'er sat paralyzed on the ground and took out a jade bottle from her body. She poured out a medicinal pill and swallowed it. Very soon, her pale complexion, which was slightly pale due to the large amount of magic power she had consumed, began to turn rosy.
"Hehe, you can enjoy yourself in there. I will come back in three days. If you are still alive by then, you will have a chance to recover." As she spoke, Yan 'er stood up from the ground and walked down the white jade platform.
Poor Gu Fei. He was refined by Yan 'er like a spiritual medicine for alchemy. What was more frightening was that the ancient bronze cauldron produced a great force that bound him to the center of the ancient cauldron.
Gu Fei, who was wrapped in layers of spiritual fog, could not die even if he wanted to. It was as if he was being roasted on a fire. He was enduring an inhuman pain that was a hundred times worse than death by a thousand cuts.
Inside the ancient bronze cauldron, the spiritual mist surged violently. The spiritual mist constantly seeped into Gu Fei's body through his pores. Gu Fei only felt that his entire body, inside and out, was burning with raging flames. He could even smell the smell of burning.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" …
He screamed until he was hoarse. In the end, he could no longer scream. His throat could only make a few sounds of "Ah!", "Ah!", "Hmph!", "Hmph!"
The endless pain he was enduring was not without its benefits. More than half of the ghostly aura that was sealed by the eighteen Soul Suppressing Nails in his body had been dispelled.
Using this extreme method to dispel the ghostly aura in his body, although it caused Gu Fei to suffer unprecedented pain, it seemed to be very effective. It was many times faster than the speed at which he dispelled the ghostly aura himself.
The ghostly aura in his flesh and blood was gradually dispelled. However, the ghostly aura entwined in his bone marrow showed no signs of dissipating. However, Gu Fei's body clearly changed.
