Chapter 300 Deep in the Secret Realm

"This is... the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Furnace!" Liu Ruyan's voice came from the depths of the secret room, with an expression of shock that was difficult to conceal.

Zi Xiao subconsciously wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Xuan Ji with his crutch.

A gleam of light flashed in the old man's eyes: "Interesting, they actually found that thing."

In the secret room, Liu Ruyan and the Saint stood in front of a huge alchemy furnace.

The entire furnace is bronze in color and engraved with mysterious runes.

The furnace body has nine layers, each layer is carved with different mythical beast patterns, and the top layer is a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon.

"This furnace..." The Saint Girl reached out and gently stroked the furnace, "It actually contains both ice and fire attributes at the same time."

Liu Ruyan nodded: "And I have never seen these runes before."

She raised the Fire Spirit Sword, and a beam of fire shot towards the alchemy furnace. The flame landed on the furnace and was immediately absorbed by the rune.

The Vermillion Bird pattern on the first layer of the furnace suddenly lit up red.

Seeing this, the Saint also raised her Ice Mirror. A ray of cold air struck the furnace, but was absorbed by another set of runes.

The basalt pattern on the second layer then lit up with blue light.

"Huh?" The two women looked at each other and activated their magic weapons at the same time in tacit understanding.

The light from the Fire Spirit Sword and the Ice Mirror intertwined together, forming a purple halo that enveloped the entire alchemy furnace.

The nine layers of patterns on the alchemy furnace lit up one by one, and finally the golden dragon came to life, opening its mouth and letting out a silent dragon roar.

"Boom!" A powerful aura burst out from the alchemy furnace.

"Be careful!" The saint pulled Liu Ruyan back a few steps.

The breath gradually subsided, and the alchemy furnace was suspended steadily in the air, with nine layers of runes flickering.

A mysterious wave emanated from the furnace, resonating with the "Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique" that the two women had just cultivated.

"This alchemy furnace..." Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up. "Could it be specially prepared for those who practice the 'Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique'?"

The Saint sensed it carefully and said, "Indeed. This furnace can contain both ice and fire power. It must be used to refine special elixirs."

"Then let's..."

"No rush." ​​The Saint interrupted her, "Let's see if there are any other discoveries first."

The two continued to explore the secret room. The secret room was not large. Apart from the alchemy furnace, the surrounding walls were engraved with dense text.

"These are..." Liu Ruyan looked closer, "Experiences in alchemy?"

The Saint nodded: "Not only the experience of alchemy, but also various alchemy recipes."

She pointed to a spot and said, "Look at this, the 'Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill'. It requires the combined efforts of Ice and Fire practitioners to refine it."

"So, if we get this furnace, we can refine these pills?"

Liu Ruyan said excitedly.

Just then, a noise came from the corner of the secret room. The two women looked over cautiously and saw a stone slab slowly move aside, revealing a hidden compartment.

"Is there something else?" Liu Ruyan walked over impatiently.

There was a jade box in the secret compartment. The Saint opened it carefully, revealing an ancient jade slip.

"Let me see." Liu Ruyan came closer.

The two of them probed their spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, which recorded the origin and usage of the alchemy furnace.

It turns out that this Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Furnace is a divine artifact from ancient times, specially used to refine elixirs that require the mixture of ice and fire.

"No wonder Senior Xuanji said we have a connection to this place." The Saintess pondered, "These opportunities are prepared for those who practice the 'Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique'."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Liu Ruyan rubbed her hands together, "Let's try this furnace right now!"

Just as the saint was about to speak, she suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.

The runes on the alchemy furnace lit up again, and the nine layers of patterns flashed one after another. Finally, the golden dragon actually flew out.

"This..." The two women looked at the golden dragon circling in the air in surprise.

The golden dragon roared and turned into a golden light that sank into the alchemy furnace.

The runes on the surface of the alchemy furnace suddenly became clearer, and the nine-layer pattern became more vivid.

"Have you recognized your master?" Liu Ruyan tentatively reached out to touch the alchemy furnace.

A gentle force came, and the alchemy furnace vibrated slightly, as if responding to her.

The saint also reached out and touched it, feeling the same power.

"Does this alchemy furnace really recognize us as its master?" Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed with excitement.

"It must be sensing the power of ice and fire in our bodies." The Saint said, and pulled out a simple pill recipe from the jade slip. "Would you like to try it?"

"try what?"

"Spirit Concentration Pill." The Saint pointed at the recipe, "This is the most basic elixir, requiring the blending of ice and fire."

Liu Ruyan immediately became interested: "Okay! But... do we have any medicinal herbs?"

The Saint took out a few spiritual herbs from her storage bag: "These are what I usually collect, just enough to refine one furnace."

The two women followed the instructions on the jade slips and began to refine the elixir. The Saint Girl controlled the temperature of the cauldron, while Liu Ruyan fanned the flames.

"Be careful," the Saint warned, "the temperature must be precise."

Liu Ruyan curled her lips: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

The flames from the Fire Spirit Sword were injected into the alchemy furnace, quickly burning the herbs into powder.

The saint used the ice mirror to control the temperature, allowing the medicinal power to slowly blend.

"Huh?" Liu Ruyan suddenly realized, "Look at the runes on the furnace wall."

The runes on the alchemy furnace began to flow, forming a wonderful cycle.

The two forces of ice and fire are perfectly integrated under the guidance of the runes, and the medicinal power becomes more refined.

"This alchemy furnace is truly remarkable," the Saintess exclaimed. "It can automatically adjust the balance between ice and fire."

As he spoke, the alchemy furnace suddenly vibrated. The golden dragon pattern on the ninth layer lit up with a dazzling light, and a rich alchemy fragrance wafted from the furnace.

"It worked!" Liu Ruyan said in surprise.

The saint opened the lid of the furnace and saw three crystal clear pills lying inside, emitting a faint purple light.

"This color..." Liu Ruyan picked up one, "Didn't they say that the Concentration Pill should be green?"

The Saint was also puzzled: "Maybe it's because of the harmony of ice and fire."

She carefully examined the jade slip, "It says here that the effects of elixirs refined using the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Furnace will be several times stronger than ordinary elixirs."

"Then we..." Liu Ruyan's eyes turned.

"Don't eat it yet." The Saint stopped her, "Try it after we get out."

At this moment, the stone door of the secret room suddenly opened. Xuan Ji walked in with a cane, followed by Zi Xiao.

"Not bad." Xuan Ji looked at the floating alchemy furnace, "You have mastered the realm of perfection so quickly."

"Senior, you are too kind," the Saint said. "It's the merit of the furnace itself."

Xuan Ji shook his head: "No matter how good the alchemy furnace is, it is useless without a suitable owner.

The fact that you have received its recognition shows that you have a connection with it."

He looked at the pills in the hands of the two women and said, "You can make a purple pill on your first try. That's pretty good."

"Purple quality?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"Medicines are also divided into different qualities," Xuan Ji explained, "Green is the worst, purple is medium, and gold is the best.

You were able to refine purple quality on your first try, which shows that you have a good understanding."

He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and said, "There are some precious medicinal herbs in here. Consider it a gift for you."

"Thank you, senior!" The two women were overjoyed.

"By the way," Xuan Ji continued, "this secret room will be your alchemy room from now on.

I have set up a formation here to isolate it from outside interference."

Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up: "Then we can come here often to make pills in the future?"

"Of course." Xuan Ji smiled, "But remember, the key to alchemy is concentration.

Don't rush into anything too quickly."

"Disciple, I understand." The two women said respectfully.

"Alright." Xuan Ji said, "Put away the alchemy furnace first."

The Saint and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, simultaneously summoning their magical powers. The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Furnace shrank to the size of a palm, hovering between them.

"This furnace is connected to your mind." Xuan Ji said, "You will naturally know how to use it when refining the elixir in the future."

He looked around and said, “There are still many pill recipes in the secret room, you can study them slowly.

But remember, some pills are very powerful, so don't try them lightly."

"Yes." The two women nodded.

"Let's go." Xuan Ji turned and walked out. "I've taught you everything I need to teach you. Now it all depends on your own luck."

The four people walked out of the secret room, Xuanji slapped the stone door, and the secret room was hidden again.

"Do you remember the way?" he asked.

"I've got it." Liu Ruyan said, "But Senior, don't you live here?"

Xuan Ji shook his head: "I am just the caretaker here. Now that the opportunity has arrived, it is time for me to leave."

"Senior, are you leaving?" Zi Xiao asked in surprise.

"Yes." Xuan Ji smiled, "I have been waiting here for many years, just waiting for the right person.

Now you have inherited the legacy, and my mission is complete."

He looked at the two women and said, "Practice the Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique well and make good use of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Furnace.

Perhaps one day, you will be able to recreate the glory of ancient times."

After saying this, Xuan Ji's figure gradually faded and finally disappeared into the air.

"Senior!" the three shouted.

But the mystery had completely disappeared, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air: "See you again if we are destined to."
