Chapter 94

In the alchemy cauldron, the temperature of the flames continued to rise. Soon, the Beast Emperor Ginseng inside the cauldron was melted into a golden liquid.

The golden liquid rotated in the flames, like a golden bead, reflecting a dazzling luster.

This was the initial extraction of the pure medicinal power from the Beast Emperor Ginseng.

Although the energy within was still mixed and uneven, the medicinal power revealed was still vast and astonishing.

Shen Lang focused intently, controlling the temperature of the flames in the array to continue rising.

When the temperature of the cauldron reached a certain limit, a bit of black and white impurities slowly appeared in the golden liquid.

Shen Lang made a hand seal with his left hand, then flicked his finger, and a stream of spiritual energy immediately enveloped the entire liquid.

The black and white impurities were immediately separated and expelled, dissipating into nothingness in the flames.

Refining and purifying the spiritual materials was just the first step.

Although Shen Lang performed it effortlessly, only alchemists would know how skillful and astonishing his technique was.

At this moment, if the temperature was not controlled properly, it would easily fail.

If the temperature was too low, it would be unable to expel the various impurities from the Beast Emperor Ginseng;

If the temperature was just a bit higher, the medicinal power of the Beast Emperor Ginseng would evaporate, and it might even be burned into nothingness, leading to failure.

Refining artifacts and medicines is, in a sense, a wasteful endeavor.

If one's skills are not proficient, even the most precious things can be turned into waste.

Without a strong family background, ordinary people would not dare to become alchemists or artifact refiners.

...

As the impurities in the golden liquid were continuously removed, the volume of the liquid, originally the size of a duck egg, shrank to the size of a lychee.

More than half an hour passed in this manner. The golden liquid, now free of impurities, became even more dazzling, crystal clear, and emitted a strange fragrance that even Shen Lang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Shen Lang was quite satisfied with his operation. He brought his two fingers together and gently hooked them, and the golden liquid in the cauldron was instantly enveloped in a glow of spiritual energy, floating out of the cauldron and finally poured into a jade bottle in Shen Lang's hand.

In this way, after the Beast Emperor Ginseng, Shen Lang used the same technique to refine dozens of other spiritual materials, including the Senluo Treasure Grass, Qingyang Holy Fruit, Wasteland God Flower, Phantom Immortal Ginseng, and Spirit Spring Jade Dew.

Five hours passed, and the table beside the cauldron was already filled with jade bottles containing various colored liquids.

After all the spiritual herbs and fruits were refined into liquids and purified, the flames in the cauldron immediately weakened.

Shen Lang began to pour the purified liquids from the table into the cauldron.

As soon as these liquids entered the cauldron, they immediately transformed into pure, star-like beads, arranged in the cauldron.

Looking down, the cauldron seemed like a starry universe.

Under Shen Lang's control, the true flames in the cauldron began to burn fiercely again. The five central beads slowly approached the center and gradually merged.

After the five beads merged, the volume of the liquid expanded significantly, and a series of strange sounds echoed. Ethereal gases of five colors rose from the flames, and a restless energy was released from the enlarged liquid, causing the entire cauldron to tremble slightly.

"Buzz!"

Shen Lang had anticipated this scene. He cast several hand seals at the liquid, and a glow of spiritual energy immediately enveloped the medicinal liquid, slightly calming the restless energy, though the situation was not yet completely stable.

Seeing this, Shen Lang flipped his palm and quickly grabbed a jade bottle with a blood-red liquid from the table. With a flick of his wrist, the blood-red liquid shot out like a blood arrow and fell into the liquid in the cauldron.

As soon as the blood-red liquid entered and merged with the original liquid, several more strange sounds echoed.

"Hisss..."

With the strange sounds, the blood-red medicinal liquid completely merged with the original liquid, and the originally restless liquid immediately calmed down. The volume then suddenly shrank, stopping when it was only half its original size.

Without any pause, as soon as the energy in the medicinal liquid calmed down, Shen Lang immediately began to control the surrounding medicinal liquids to move towards the center and merge with the central liquid.

Refining the materials into liquids, purifying them, and merging multiple medicinal liquids... Shen Lang performed these intricate and detailed steps seamlessly, like flowing clouds and water, without any hesitation, everything was smooth and fluid.

Time slowly passed...

When a beam of moonlight shone through the window and onto the room, the dozens of medicinal liquids in the cauldron had finally merged completely. A fist-sized medicinal liquid rolled in the flames, releasing a strange fragrance.

At this moment, the flames in the cauldron suddenly burst, causing the temperature in the room to rise sharply.

Shen Lang's breathing became slightly heavy, and without hesitation, he threw the crucial eye of the Hidden Moon Celestial Wolf into the cauldron!

"Pop!"

As soon as the eye was thrown in, the originally eerie eye seemed to come to life, emitting a strange light that made Shen Lang feel a slight dizziness!

"So strong!"

Shen Lang slightly turned his head, moved his gaze away, and his hands fluttered like butterflies, casting hand seals one after another...

The true flames burned even more fiercely...

After an unknown amount of time, when the eye of the Hidden Moon Celestial Wolf gradually disappeared and was completely refined, the volume of the entire medicinal liquid shrank significantly. After merging all the medicinal liquids, the multi-colored, eerie medicinal liquid was reduced to the size of a ping-pong ball.

"Using the Hidden Moon as a plot and the Celestial Wolf as a medium, rise!"

At the moment the flames in the cauldron disappeared, Shen Lang lightly shouted, and with his hands spread out, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron transformed into a semi-transparent Celestial Wolf and rushed towards his forehead.

A faint light burst from Shen Lang's forehead, as if a third eye had appeared, absorbing the Celestial Wolf completely.

"Success or failure, this is the moment!"

Shen Lang's hands touched various parts of his body, and he closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged, and began to circulate the technique to refine the medicinal liquid.

The secret technique passed down from the War Emperor from an ancient scroll was finally used by Shen Lang.

A moonlight-like radiance emitted from Shen Lang's body, slowly converging and swirling around him like a ribbon, then suddenly all converged and entered Shen Lang's tightly closed eyes.

At this moment, although the moonlight had disappeared, Shen Lang's small room was suddenly filled with a moonlight-like glow, and a faint wolf howl began to echo, distant and proud.

Subsequently, the wolf howl grew fainter and gradually disappeared, all the light converging on Shen Lang.

At this moment, Shen Lang opened his eyes...

His long hair, which had been still, suddenly danced in the air, and at the same time, a silver glow emerged from his pupils, spreading like cotton and quickly condensing into a faint silver line.

This strange silver line appeared for only a moment and then retreated. If one was not very close to Shen Lang and paying special attention to his eyes, it would be impossible to notice.

"Finally, the Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes have succeeded, hahaha!" Shen Lang's joy was indescribable.

This was something even the War Emperor coveted and searched for for hundreds of years, both in the heavens and on earth!

Now, with the War Emperor's memory, Shen Lang could easily see through the nature and weaknesses of other martial artists' techniques, but this was still limited to martial artists of not very high cultivation.

If he encountered powerful martial artists, it would not be so easy to see through them.

However, one of the powerful functions of the Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes was to see through all illusions and penetrate all falsehoods. Once this technique was mastered, even when facing extremely powerful beings, many of their secrets would be revealed to Shen Lang!

Even at the Fifth Heaven of the Qi Martial Realm, he could begin to touch upon the rules of the world, which many powerful beings constantly pursued!

A silver light flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and the Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes immediately activated. Instantly, the entire world changed, mainly divided into black and white, but the colors of the elemental energies, which were usually difficult to perceive with the naked eye, appeared in the colors of their respective spiritual energies, clearly visible under Shen Lang's gaze.

In the direction of the Western Graveyard outside Tianfeng City, dark and inky death qi swirled in the sky, lingering;

In the direction of Jingpo Lake to the north of the city, water-blue water elemental energy was scattered and ethereal;

In the direction of the Phoenix Mountains, the green wood elemental energy was much clearer and abundant...

Shen Lang stood by the window, his gaze slowly moving. As soon as he turned, he suddenly fixed his eyes on the direction of Black Wind Ridge in the Phoenix Mountains.

There, where the wood elemental energy was most abundant, a few faint traces of qi caught his attention.

"Corpse qi!"

After confirming the direction, Shen Lang deactivated the Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes and began to ponder.

The Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes were truly heaven-defying, no wonder even a supreme being like the War Emperor went mad over it. The only drawback was that each use consumed a large amount of divine consciousness. With his current level of divine consciousness, using it once or twice a day was already quite exhausting.

However, his attention quickly shifted back to Black Wind Ridge.

"When I encountered the demon corpses at Black Wind Ridge, all but one of the zombie corpses were eliminated. Now, the Illusion-Breaking Silver Eyes have detected such dense corpse qi in the Black Wind Ridge area... In recent days, many experts from various forces have been patrolling around Tianfeng City. These evil martial artists are truly bold!"

"It seems my guess was correct; they are indeed searching for something in the Black Wind Ridge area."

Shen Lang smiled lightly as he looked out the window, changed into a black outfit, took out the Heavenly Water Blade, and strapped it to his back, and finally put on the Evil Ghost Mask.

"Whoosh!"

He darted out, crouching like a cat, and silently ran towards Black Wind Ridge.

At this moment, all was quiet, and the entire Tianfeng City was in deep sleep...
