Chapter 3655: Spirit Transformation Pills
“You want the method for refining Spirit Transformation pills?” Lin Sen was taken aback by Jian Chen’s request, but he soon shook his head with a smile. “Even if I give you the formula, there’s nothing you can do with it because it’s a special pill formula inherited by our Divine Wood clan. Apart from our Divine Wood clan, no one else can refine it. Even the peak alchemists renowned throughout the Immortals’ World are unable to refine it.”
“Oh? Tell me in detail.” Jian Chen was surprised.
“Spirit Transformation pills are different from regular pills. When it comes to regular pills, even if they’re extremely precious high grade God Tier pills, any alchemist can refine them as long as they have the materials and enough mastery. However, refining Spirit Transformation pills does not just require materials and mastery. Its true core lies with practising the corresponding cultivation method and possessing the corresponding bloodline.”
“As a result, in order to refine Spirit Transformation pills, not only does the alchemist have to practise the cultivation method of our Divine Wood clan, but they also have to possess the bloodline of our Divine Wood clan,” Len Sen said proudly.
Jian Chen frowned. He never imagined there to be such stringent conditions to refining Spirit Transformation pills. His original plan was to obtain the alchemy formula before assembling a group of people to refine Spirit Transformation pills for the Immortal Devouring Orchid. Since the Spirit Transformation pill had wondrous effects on the Immortal Devouring Orchid, he would not mind expending tremendous amounts of resources to strengthen it further.
However, if there were such stringent requirements to refining Spirit Transformation pills, his plan to produce them en masse would obviously fall apart.
Then Lin Sen said, “And these Spirit Transformation pills are also split into three grades. Low grade Spirit Transformation pills are completely useless to Immortal Exalt daemon plants. The Spirit Transformation pills that I fed to the Immortal Devouring Orchid earlier are the highest grade that our Divine Wood clan can refine so far.”
“Only Spirit Transformation pills of such a grade bring benefit to Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Exalt daemon plants, and right now, only I can refine Spirit Transformation pills of such quality in the entire Divine Wood clan.”
“As a result, I can tell you with utmost confidence that no one apart from me in the current Immortals’ World can refine Spirit Transformation pills of such quality.”
“You’re telling me this because you’re worried that I’ll visit your Divine Wood clan.” Jian Chen stared at Lin Sen with a slight smile.
Lin Sen did not deny it. “Indeed. I am worried about you causing trouble for my clansmen, but what I said is the truth. There is no lie to it because refining high grade Spirit Transformation pills also require a shred of the ancestral bloodline.”
“On the other hand, I am the only person in the current Divine Wood clan that possesses a shred of the ancestral bloodline.”
Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. He hesitated for a moment and said, “I can refrain from killing you and not go after your clansmen, but for the upcoming period of time, you have to devote yourself to refining Spirit Transformation pills. You have to do everything that you can to fulfill the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s needs.”
A hint of gloominess appeared in Lin Sen’s eyes. He had already guessed that he would probably never see the light of day again, but as soon as he thought of how at least he had helped his clansmen avoid a calamity, he found some comfort.
Perhaps because he could see the despair in Lin Sen’s eyes, Jian Chen gave him some hope. “I can promise you that when the Immortal Devouring Orchid no longer needs you, I’ll give your freedom back to you.”
“Return my freedom? R-really?” Lin Sen’s eyes immediately lit up in joy.
Afterwards, Lin Sen remained as a prisoner inside the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s body. He no longer had a single Spirit Transformation pill left on him, so if they wanted more, he would have to refine them from scratch.
Jian Chen also obtained the list of heavenly resources required for refining Spirit Transformation pills. Because the pills were mid grade God Tier pills, the required quality of the materials was quite high. He looked through all of his reserves and only managed to find a third of them. He had to look for the other two-thirds.
Jian Chen looked at the Immortal Devouring Orchid again. After staring at it for a while, he sighed earnestly. “I never thought you would actually reach Immortal Exalt before me. Sure enough, you’ve really become my greatest source of assistance now.”
“It’s all due to master’s nurturing that I could ever achieve what I have today. If it wasn’t for master, I would never possess such accomplishments,” the Immortal Devouring Orchid communicated with the senses of its soul.
“You’ve already become an Immortal Exalt. Can you take a human form?” Jian Chen asked.
The Immortal Devouring Orchid did not respond immediately. After a while, it replied dejectedly, “Master, I still can’t take a human form right now, and I have a feeling that I don’t seem to possess that ability.”
“You can’t take a human form? There are indeed some creatures in the world that can’t take a human form. Perhaps you’re one of them. However, this isn’t important. Oh right, how many nutrients do you have left for growth?” Jian Chen asked.
“I still have a lot, master. I’m devoting myself to devouring that phoenix right now. I have a strong feeling that once I completely devour the phoenix’s corpse, I’ll be able to inherit its undying ability completely,” the Immortal Devouring Orchid said excitedly.
“Don’t tell me you still haven’t completely devoured the phoenix’s corpse?” Jian Chen asked in surprise. He had noticed a long time ago that the Immortal Devouring Orchid already possessed the undying ability. He originally thought the Immortal Devouring Orchid had only gained this ability through completely devouring the phoenix’s corpse. As it turned out, it had only devoured part of it.
“Still not yet. The phoenix is just too powerful. Extremely tremendous energy is hiding within its body. It’s very difficult for me to devour it, so I’ve only devoured a small portion of it so far. However, I can sense that with each bit I devour, my undying ability grows stronger. If I can completely devour the phoenix, my ability might even surpass the phoenix during its peak condition. I’ll become even more difficult to kill than the phoenix. I might even be completely unkillable,” the Immortal Devouring Orchid said extremely happily.
With that, Jian Chen was truly shocked. The undying ability that the Immortal Devouring Orchid had demonstrated earlier had already astounded him. He had never thought that it was only part of it.
“I feel like the phoenix’s undying ability has been magnified countless times on me. I don’t know why that is the case either, but I think it has to do with the Xuanhuang Qi or the Heaven-splitting Divine Force. It might also have something to do with the patterns that appeared on me,” said the Immortal Devouring Orchid. At the same time, the profound patterns on its body began to glow as if the ways were weaving together and the world was evolving.
Jian Chen stared at the patterns of ways on the Immortal Devouring Orchid. He understood that these patterns did not appear because of the Xuanhuang Qi alone. The Heaven-splitting Divine Force should have played a role as well.
It might not even be just due to the Heaven-splitting Divine Force. It was potentially a series of mutations that had occurred after numerous fortuitous encounters gathered together.
“Master, ever since I broke through to Immortal Exalt, my strength has been increasing much more slowly…”
