Chapter 71

Having selected the materials, Zhao Shuo left the pagoda and sat cross-legged in the wooden house. He had set up a simple barrier around him, blocking out external sounds, so he didn't have to worry about being distracted.

In front of Zhao Shuo were a piece of purple gold, a handful of stardust sand, and a piece of sky-blue stone. These three items were all considered heavenly treasures. The purple gold and sky-blue stone would be melted together to form the main body of the alchemy furnace, while the stardust sand was an essential material for refining the furnace, used to set up arrays for gathering spirit energy, controlling fire, and creating a vacuum.

Adjusting his internal magic power to its best state, Zhao Shuo reached out into the air, and the purple gold and sky-blue stone floated up. At the same time, he used the primordial pill to ignite the alchemy fire, and a faint dark red flame appeared in the air.

The flame was not large, and it would take a long time to successfully melt the purple gold and sky-blue stone.

However, Zhao Shuo was not in a hurry, as the flame was just the spark of the alchemy fire. To make the alchemy fire stronger, he needed to continuously supply magic power to strengthen it.

If the flame was the source of fire, then the magic power was the match and fuel that made the flame grow larger.

The moment Zhao Shuo channeled his magic power into the flame, it suddenly became fierce and scorching. Caught off guard, his eyebrows and hair almost got singed.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuo quickly adjusted the flow of magic power within his body. Once the flame stabilized, he began to melt the purple gold and sky-blue stone.

With a continuous supply of magic power, the temperature of the flame remained very stable. Gradually, the purple gold and sky-blue stone began to melt. Some impurities were directly burned into black smoke and disappeared. After a full day, the purple gold melted into a purple liquid, and the sky-blue stone turned into a sky-blue liquid, the two clearly distinct.

Seeing the initial melting process complete, Zhao Shuo let out a slight sigh of relief. However, he remained focused, reaching out to grab the stardust sand. The stardust sand, like a small galaxy, rushed into the purple and sky-blue liquids. At the same time, under the refinement of the alchemy fire, the two slowly merged.

Zhao Shuo concentrated fully, casting spiritual seals, and one by one, arrays were embedded into the slightly purple sky-blue liquid.

Each seal cast caused a flash of starlight, clearly showing that Zhao Shuo was setting up various arrays.

Although this was Zhao Shuo's first attempt at refining, the refining technique he used was passed down from the ancient Qingye Daozhu, and his hand movements were extremely subtle. Combined with his extremely proficient practice of various spiritual seals, there were no mistakes.

Gradually, sweat beads appeared on Zhao Shuo's forehead. After all, casting arrays required a great deal of mental focus, and cultivators below the Spirit Consolidation stage found it difficult to refine magical treasures on their own for this reason.

With a plop, a large sweat drop rolled down Zhao Shuo's face. At this point, he was almost completely drained of mental energy, but the furnace was gradually taking shape, indicating that it was a critical moment.

The furnace was sky-blue, and its body was adorned with various mysterious inscriptions, giving it an ancient and simple appearance.

"Phew, just a little more!"

Zhao Shuo felt the emptiness within his body, and even the alchemy fire began to waver due to the depletion of magic power.

Seeing his refining about to fail, Zhao Shuo immediately bit into the Luli Lotus Seed he had been holding in his mouth. Instantly, a pure and gentle force flowed through his body, and magic power began to flow continuously.

"Hum!"

A faint vibration emanated from the sky-blue furnace. When the fully formed furnace slowly landed on the ground, Zhao Shuo let out a long breath.

He had succeeded. His first attempt at refining had been successful, and his heart was filled with joy.

Regardless of the level of the magical treasure he had refined, at least his first attempt had been successful. This made Zhao Shuo, despite the severe depletion of his vital energy, grab the ancient sky-blue furnace in front of him.

The furnace was about a foot high, with three legs. Since Zhao Shuo had never seen what the alchemy furnaces in this world looked like, he had refined it according to his imagination. To his relief, he had actually succeeded. Although the alchemy furnace did not have many intricate details, the key was the various arrays for gathering spirit energy and forming pills within the furnace. However, who wouldn't want their alchemy furnace to look good?

Playing with the furnace in his hands, a smile appeared on Zhao Shuo's lips. "Not bad, I managed to refine a high-level magical treasure on my first try. Maybe I'm a genius at refining."

If Bai Jianjia had heard Zhao Shuo's self-satisfied words, she might have mocked him. After all, he possessed ancient refining techniques, and the materials and array techniques he used were extremely precious. If a true refining master had Zhao Shuo's conditions, they might have been able to refine a spirit-level magical treasure.

Satisfied, Zhao Shuo put away the furnace and disappeared from the room, reappearing in the fourth level of the pagoda.

The boundless essence energy of heaven and earth was so dense that it turned into a liquid. Zhao Shuo landed on the small island and began to recover his vital energy by the pond of Luli Lotus flowers.

It must be said that abundant essence energy was extremely important for cultivators. If he were outside, it would take Zhao Shuo several hours to recover his vital energy, but here, it took less than half an hour to fully recover, and his internal magic power was also abundant.

When he reappeared outside, it was already dark, with only the stars twinkling in the sky. Bai Jianjia's residence was completely dark, with no light at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuo muttered to himself, "Strange, it's only just getting dark. Bai Jianjia can't be resting this early."

Releasing his divine sense, he found no trace of Bai Jianjia in the room. Zhao Shuo was taken aback, but then a smile appeared on his lips, and he disappeared in a flash.

In the clear lake, the night was hazy, and a misty fog floated on the surface. The sound of splashing water came, and in the mist, a white, delicate body appeared and disappeared.

Bai Jianjia was completely relaxed, soaking in the clear spring water. She hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.

On Death Island, even if she had the conditions to bathe, it was just a quick rinse, and she never dared to relax like this.

She splashed water over her body, and the clear, cool droplets rolled down her smooth, lustrous skin, making a faint sound.

Bai Jianjia looked like a fairy in the water, her originally exquisite face glistening with water droplets, and her perfect figure was visible through the water.

Suddenly, Bai Jianjia frowned, sensing something. Her face changed slightly, and she quickly flew out of the water. Her flawless body, glowing with a faint light, disappeared in an instant. When she reappeared, she was already wearing a robe.

However, a gentle breeze blew, and the thin robe clung to her well-proportioned body, adding a unique charm.

Zhao Shuo appeared by the lake and saw Bai Jianjia standing there, her wet, black, lustrous hair making him sigh. What a beautiful scene, a lotus emerging from the water, and he had missed it.

Bai Jianjia looked at Zhao Shuo with a strange expression, her clear eyes making him feel uneasy. He cleared his throat and said, "Oh, Jianjia, you're here. I thought you had gone somewhere."
