Hmm?
Venerable Lianjingās eyes paused, looking at Jiang Fan in confusion.
What did she just hear? Jiang Fan said he wanted to refine pills? Isnāt this an ability unique to Soul Masters? Moreover, he wants to refine a Seventh Grade Great Pill.
The Wuhen Sage, who was about to leave, also froze, sizing up Jiang Fan and said, "You can refine pills too?"
Jiang Fan nodded slightly, "A little."
Huh?
The Wuhen Sage looked surprised, "Youāre actually one of us Soul Masters?"
He closed his eyes to sense and was even more astonished, "The soul indeed shows traces of specialized cultivation."
"What star-level Soul Master are you?"
Jiang Fan shook his head, "I havenāt been tested, but I made a Fifth-grade Spirit Pill last time."
What?
The Wuhen Sage was shocked, "Youāre a Five-star Soul Master?"
"Who did you learn from?"
If Jiang Fan hailed from the Medicine God Hall or the Changsheng Palace of Dan State, he wouldnāt be surprised.
Because these major alchemy forces have extremely powerful traditions, if trained from a young age, itās possible to cultivate such a young Five-star Soul Master.
The problem is, Jiang Fan isnāt from an orthodox alchemy force.
Jiang Fan shrugged, "Self-taught."
The Wuhen Sage snorted, "Trusting you is like trusting Iām an Ancient Saint!"
How could someone self-taught reach the level of a Five-star Soul Master?
The path of a Soul Master requires understanding many things, and without experienced elders to guide, itās hard to grow.
This is also one of the reasons why there are so few Soul Masters.
He guessed Jiang Fan was hiding his inheritance and didnāt press on, saying, "These materials are the only ones, donāt waste them as a Five-star Soul Master."
"Save them for when you encounter a powerful Seven-star Soul Master."
But Jiang Fan was full of interest, saying, "I want to try."
When he was at the Three Apertures Nascent Soul stage, he could refine a Fifth Grade medium Spirit Pill.
Now, not only has he achieved Divinity Transformation, but heās also reached the Heavenly Human Two Declines; his Soul Power has transformed dramatically.
Refining a Sixth Grade Spirit Pill should be as easy as hand-turning, with no difficulty.
Even the Seventh Grade Spirit Pill has a chance of successful refinement.
If combined with the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, which elevates the pill by a grade, refining a Seventh Grade Dragon and Phoenix Divine Gallbladder is more than enough.
The Wuhen Sage opened his mouth to persuade him again, but then thought better of it and waved his hand, giving the eighteen jade boxes along with the pill recipe for the Dragon and Phoenix Divine Gallbladder to Jiang Fan.
"Forget it, suit yourself."
Since he gave the items to Jiang Fan, he could do whatever he wanted with them.
Young people these days donāt heed advice.
With that, he dissolved into the void.
Jiang Fan cheerfully collected the eighteen jade boxes, then gently touched Gong Caiyiās abdomen.
"Wait for Daddy to refine you a big pill."
Gong Caiyi showed a gentle expression, "Husband, donāt push yourself; with your thoughts, the child and I are already very happy."
The Venerable Lianjing also worriedly said, "Fan, why not wait, let your godmother ask around for a suitable Soul Master."
Jiang Fan smiled, "Donāt worry, Iām confident."
"Letās head back to the palace first."
Before refining, he needed to fully integrate the final parts of the "Taiyin Soul Technique" of the Great Carefree Venerate.
Only then could he start the alchemy process.
As they left the palace, the onlookers also dispersed one after another.
No one expected that what was supposed to be an operation to suppress the momentum of Taicang State would turn into the double Venerables of Heavenly State being beaten.
Even more unexpected was Wuhen Sageās appearance, not favoring his disciple but instead showing respect to Taicang State.
On the attic suspended in mid-air, many strong individuals departed one after another.
The Silver Moon Venerate snorted, "Just relying on a little Magical Treasure, Heavenly State is a place that values status!"
"You and the Moon Venerate better not have further contact, or else, if you want to save face, Iāll help you save face!"
With that, he vanished through instantaneous movement.
The probing gazes from forces like the Young Emperor Mountain, Moon Palace, Buddha Country, etc., were all retracted.
Jiang Fan returned to the palace, looking at everyone who was safe and sound, smiling:
"As long as everyone is safe, Iām relieved."
Everyone shared the sentiment.
After the great battle, nothing is more reassuring than seeing old friends safe and sound.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master said, "We didnāt take risks, so donāt worry about us."
"Instead, youāve been constantly facing great dangers."
Jiang Fan smiled and took out the Spirit Rain collected by the Heavenly Craft Sage and the endless resources collected by the Tianluo Sage, handing them over to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.
"The battle is over, itās time for our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to recruit widely and grow stronger."
The Pavilion Master was moved, his heart filled with an unspeakable sense of grandeur.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion founded by the ancestors must flourish in his generation.
Even more moving was Jiang Fanās voice echoing in his mind:
"Pavilion Master, Iāve been to the eleventh layer of the underground world."
The Pavilion Masterās body trembled violently; this is the long-cherished wish of the past generations of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Did Jiang Fan finally achieve it?
"Is the Ancient Saint inside?" he asked tremulously.
Jiang Fan briefly recounted what he had seen.
The Pavilion Master initially wore a bitter expression; a thousand-year pursuit turned out to be a wrong path.
But seeing Jiang Fanās face full of youthful vigor brought him great comfort.
The path pursued by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion may have been erroneous, but it nurtured Jiang Fan and others, leaving an indelible mark in the history of the fate of Central Earth.
Therefore, the historical mission of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is completed, and the ancestors can rest in peace.
Next, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will search for a new mission, continuing from generation to generation...
After exchanging a few words with everyone, Jiang Fan stepped into the cave mansion.
After a brief adjustment, he took out the "Taiyin Soul Technique," his eyes filled with emotion:
"This Alchemy Dao masterpiece that accompanied me from Lonely Boat City has helped me tremendously; finally, Iām going to learn the last part."
"Thank you, Mother."
"Thank you, Eight-star Soul Master Great Carefree Venerate."
As he opened the scripture scroll, the content that used to bloat his soul with just a glance was now easy to peruse, unhindered.
Two hours later.
He slowly closed the scripture, his eyes brimming with a deep light of enlightenment.
By this point, he had fully inherited the alchemy skills left by the Great Carefree Venerate.
"My first time refining a Seventh Grade Great Pill in life, I hope there will be surprises."
Jiang Fan took out the pill recipe for the Dragon and Phoenix Divine Gallbladder, carefully checking, "This pill is indeed extremely complex, with over a hundred steps, any deviation would render all previous efforts for naught."
"Even a Seven-star Soul Master may not successfully refine it."
"But I can do it."
Purely from the perspective of alchemy technique, he has no issues.
The only shortcoming is the insufficient Soul Power, unable to precisely control the alchemy process to reach the Seventh Grade level.
However, this shortcoming is supplemented by the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod!
He took out the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod and the eighteen jade boxes, took a deep breath, and meticulously began with material refinement.
The materials are singular, allowing no room for carelessness.
Several hours later.
Waves of unique ripples seeped silently from the chamber, radiating into the void.
Medicine God Hall.
In a gigantic black pill furnace, the flickering red light oscillated intensely.
A moment later, the light extinguished abruptly, and black smoke billowed out from the cauldron lid.
The Wuhen Sage stood in front of the pill furnace, sighed toward the sky, "Itās still a failure."
"The Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill, after all, is a domain beyond my reach."
