Chapter 131

"Immortal Beast?" Zhan Chen was deep in thought. This name sounded very awesome. In the Ten Thousand Laws Continent, anything that could be related to the word "Immortal" was destined to be extraordinary.

"Master, do you know about the classification of Demonic Beasts?"

"Of course, Demonic Beasts are divided into nine ranks from low to high."

"That's right, but Master, you may not know that a Rank Nine Demonic Beast is already comparable to an Essence Scryer Realm expert."

"Wait, what is the Essence Scryer Realm?" Zhan Chen hurriedly asked. He was just a Minor Revered Martial Artist, so he did not know that even for a Dao-Reaching Realm expert, there was still a division of realms.

"Master, the so-called Dao-Reaching Realm expert is just a general term. In fact, Dao-Reaching Realm experts are also divided into high and low levels. In the Ten Thousand Laws Continent, the Dao-Reaching Realm is divided into three major realms. From low to high, they are Essence Scryer Realm, Immortal Essence Realm, and Essence Soul Realm."

Only then did Zhan Chen nod his head.

Seeing that Zhan Chen still did not fully understand, Soul Shocking Boy could only explain in detail, "The ranks of Demonic Beasts actually correspond to the ranks of Martial Artists."

"For example, Rank One and Rank Two Demonic Beasts correspond to the strength of a Martial Disciple, Rank Two and Rank Three Demonic Beasts correspond to the strength of a Martial Master, and so on. A Martial Saint Expert is equivalent to the strength of a Rank Eight Demonic Beast, and further up, the strength of a Rank Nine Demonic Beast has already surpassed the limits of a Martial Saint, and corresponds to the Essence Scryer Realm of a Dao-Reaching Realm expert."

"Once a Demonic Beast enters the Rank Nine Demonic Beast, it will undergo earth-shaking changes. Although it still looks like a Demonic Beast, it can speak the human language, think like a human, and even change the size of its body!"

"However, this is not the final form of a Demonic Beast. An Immortal Beast is an existence that is one level higher than a Rank Nine Demonic Beast. It can freely transform into a human form, live and cultivate like a human. If it is not a powerful expert, it is impossible to distinguish their true form. There are even many Immortal Beasts that transform into a human form, marry humans, and give birth to children."

"Humans and Demonic Beasts can marry?" Zhan Chen was very surprised. The world of Immortals had brought him too many surprises.

"Yes, Master, everything I said is true. One day, if you go to the Ten Thousand Dharma Continent, everything will be verified. The world of cultivation contains countless mysteries, and the Ten Thousand Dharma Continent is incomparably vast. Even my original master, Daoist You Long, couldn't explore one percent of the continent in his entire life."

Zhan Chen's eyes were filled with longing. After thinking for a while, he asked, "So the Fire Phoenix you mentioned is equivalent to the Immortal Essence State?"

Soul-Stirring Boy answered, "As far as I know, the strength of the Fire Phoenix is generally equivalent to the strength of an Essence Soul realm expert. It's at least a mid-tier immortal beast."

"Rank.

"Yes, Master. Immortal beasts are divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top tier."

"Divine. Master, Beast, Immortal beast beast.....

"Yes, so Master, you should be able to imagine the value of this pill furnace in your hands now."

Master, you should be able to imagine the value of this cauldron. "Demon Boy suddenly became excited.

"What is it?" Zhan Chen asked curiously.

"Fire phoenix feather is one of the best materials. With a little effort, you can make a Celestial Cauldron. But Dao-Reaching Dao-Reaching Celestial Cauldron is a waste. He casually made a Level Nine Cauldron."

Black lines appeared on Zhan Chen's forehead. He said, "It's enough that I have it. I don't have extravagant hopes."

"That's right, Master. You have it."

"What do you mean?"

"If Dao-Reaching Celestial Cauldron was a Celestial Cauldron, you can't activate it with your True Qi. But a Level Nine Cauldron is different. You can activate it with True Essence."

"Most importantly, a pill furnace refined from the feathers of a fire phoenix is capable of giving birth to a type of flame within the furnace, and it's called the Nirvana Divine Flame. This type of flame seems as if it possesses a life of its own, and it grows without end and never goes out. It utterly doesn't require the support of True Essence or Immortal Energy."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes as he exclaimed, "Do you mean that this pill furnace can be used to refine pills without the support of Qi?"

"Master, you are so smart. In theory, you only need to control the fire and you can make any pill below Celestial Cauldron."

"Any medicinal pill will do?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but stand up. He simply couldn't believe this was real.

"Hehe, it's only in theory. Master, don't forget that it's not easy to control the fire of this Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron. Moreover, the various finger techniques and seals used for high level pills need to be supported by a strong cultivation base."

Hearing this, Zhan Chen finally calmed down from his excitement. He thought that this was indeed the case. However, this Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron was still an invincible treasure for him. Maintaining the cauldron fire consumed True Qi and True Essence, which was the most in the entire process of refining pills.

At this time, Zhan Chen reached out to open the cauldron lid. But he heard the boy shout in panic, "Master, you can't!"

However, the boy's reminder was a step too late. Zhan Chen had already opened a corner of the cauldron lid. A scorching fire snake shot out from the opening. It almost burned Zhan Chen's clothes. Seeing that the situation was bad, he hurriedly pressed the lid down. This blocked the source of the fire.

At this time, he heard the boy sigh, "Fortunately, Master, you reacted quickly. Otherwise, if you were burned by the Nirvana Divine Flame that escaped, you'd be dead!"

Zhan Chen also wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What should I do? If I can't open the cauldron lid, I can't refine pills. "

"Master, don't be afraid. You were just a little too impatient. Now that this cauldron has recognized you as its master, you can try to communicate with its tool spirit."

"You're saying that this cauldron already has a tool spirit? Then why can't it communicate with me like you?"

"Hehe, Master, this is the difference between a Dao tool and an ordinary magic treasure. In the world of cultivation, no matter if it's a magic treasure or a pill, all nine grades of Dao will produce spiritual awareness. However, it's still the most primitive kind, like a newborn child. Only the tool spirit born from an immortal standard magic treasure will have a high spiritual awareness and be able to think like a human. "

"That's why it can't be as knowledgeable and intelligent as me."

"Hehe, keep bragging. I think the power you've displayed isn't even one percent of this cauldron's power!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ridicule him.

"How is that the same! The Wandering Dragon Frightening Sword is a mid-grade Dao tool. According to the classification of magic treasures, it belongs to the mid-grade immortal standard. How can this cauldron compare to it? Moreover, this boy's power can destroy mountains. It's just that Master, you don't have immortal Qi, so you can't use the terrifying power in the sword. "The boy shouted unhappily.

"Okay, okay, enough with the idle talk. Quickly teach me how to communicate with this cauldron's tool spirit."

"This is very simple. You just need to focus your attention on the cauldron and feel it."

Following that, Zhan Chen followed the boy's instructions and focused his attention on the cauldron. He tried to communicate with the tool spirit within it. Only then did he feel that there seemed to be a call from the cauldron. "M-master, M-master." The voice was intermittent, just like a baby learning to speak.

Zhan Chen tried to communicate with it. "What's your name?"

"My — name — is — Huang — er." After a long time, the cauldron transmitted a vague message to him. It seemed to be very slow.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but shake his head. He thought to himself, "Looks like communicating with this cauldron is too difficult."

Thus, he said to Huang 'er, "Huang' er, you just need to do as I say!"

"Yes — Master."

"Okay, first suppress the flames in your cauldron. I'm going to open the cauldron."

"En, done."

After Zhan Chen received the message from Huang 'er, he dared to open the Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron. This time, there were no more sparks. Zhan Chen looked into the cauldron and was surprised to find that there was a thumb-sized flame dancing quietly at the bottom of the cauldron. It was not as violent and terrifying as before.

It was very strange. The flame's inner core was golden, but the outer part was bright red. It looked gorgeous and cute.

"Is this the Nirvana Divine Flame?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but exclaim. He could feel that under the calm appearance of this flame, there was a huge amount of power. If it exploded, with his current cultivation, he would immediately be vaporized into thin air if he got a little closer.

Zhan Chen observed for a while before closing the cauldron. At this time, he heard Frightened Boy say, "Master, the ninth-grade cauldron can already transform spiritually!"

Another new term came out of Frightened Boy's mouth. Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask, "What is' transform spiritually '?"

"Transform spiritually is to freely change its size. Take the Wandering Dragon Frightening Sword as an example. If it has the support of immortal qi, it can change its size at will. It can be as big as a mountain or as small as a speck of dust.

"But this ninth-grade cauldron can't reach the level of an immortal artifact. The range of its transformation is very small. At most, it can grow to the size of an ordinary cauldron, which is the size of a large vat. It can't grow any bigger."

"I don't care so much, as long as it can refine pills. Quickly teach me how to grow bigger! "Zhan Chen shouted urgently. Right now, the Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron is only the size of a palm. Obviously, it can't be used to refine pills."

"You just need to inject your qi into the cauldron."

Zhan Chen tried to inject a wisp of qi into the Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron and shouted, "Grow!"

The cauldron was indeed like a balloon, growing taller and fatter.

A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He inject qi again and shouted, "Grow!"

The cauldron grew a bit bigger. Zhan Chen continued to inject qi into it, and the cauldron continued to grow until it was the size of a volleyball. And after that, no matter how hard he tried, the Nine Turn Flame Phoenix Cauldron couldn't grow anymore.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Has it reached its limit?"

"Master, the cauldron can still grow bigger. It's just that your cultivation is limited and you can't provide it with the energy it needs to grow bigger."

"Then that's the only way." Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel that it was a pity. A cauldron the size of a volleyball could at most be used to refine one pill. It couldn't be refined in batches, and the efficiency would be much lower.

"Then how do I make it smaller now?"

"It's the same."

So Zhan Chen transferred qi into the cauldron again and let Huang 'er make the cauldron smaller. As expected, the cauldron shrunk bit by bit until it returned to the size of a palm.
