Chapter 1220: The Most Suitable Material
In this way, there's no need to add any other materials; you only need to combine the crystal spheres and Battle Wine to refine them into Spirit Pills.
"Shen Lang, use Battle Wine as the raw material, no need to add anything else!"
Upon discovering this, Sun Wukong quickly transmitted his thoughts to Shen Lang.
At this moment, Shen Lang had also analyzed the properties of the crystal spheres, and was continuously adding materials to the Alchemy Furnace to test compatibility when Sun Wukong mentioned this, Shen Lang was momentarily stunned.
Without thinking further, he immediately poured the remaining amount of Battle Wine into the Alchemy Furnace, and upon activating the fusion, he was overjoyed.
Sun Wukong was indeed correct, the Battle Wine and crystal spheres left by the Evil Spirits of the Divine Beast truly were a perfect match!
The properties of both merged perfectly, and their individual shortcomings complemented each other. Just combining these two was enough to form a pill, without the need for any additional materials.
"Wukong, you're truly a genius!"
With a thought praised internally, Shen Lang fully activated the Purple Cloud Heart Flame to accelerate the fusion into a pill, and soon a Spirit Pill imbued with Divine Light was fully formed in the Alchemy Furnace.
Three crystal spheres and one-third of a gourd of Battle Wine only resulted in one Spirit Pill.
Yet, the power contained in this single pill was sufficient to allow any of the three, including Sun Wukong, to directly breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Earth Divine Realm!
By now, Sun Wukong had also refined a Spirit Pill, and went on to continue refining others.
Shen Lang and Sun Wukong each received nine crystal spheres. Based on this ratio, if they successfully refine them all, they would obtain a total of six Spirit Pills, enough for all three to break through to the Late Stage of Earth Divine Realm!
This would be a significant leap in strength!
"Wukong, I'm out of Battle Wine, do you have more?"
Shen Lang called out to Sun Wukong, having previously used up most of a gourd of Battle Wine to recover, now left with none.
Sun Wukong said nothing, but with a Divine Sense activation, two gourds of Battle Wine flew from his internal space and landed in front of Shen Lang.
One gourd for refining, and the remaining one is enough to keep around.
"Thanks!"
Shen Lang didn't hesitate; with both refining pills together, the speed could double, enabling them to form pills and breakthrough sooner, and to proceed onward to the Continent earlier.
The Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor silently watched from the side, having discerned from the expressions of Sun Wukong and Shen Lang that they had discovered the method.
What he needed to do was ensure no one disturbed their pill refining!
Although the Evil Spirits of the Divine Beast on this floating island had been cleared away, who knew what other dangers might exist?
Moreover, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was acutely aware that there was a group led by Wu Tao still following them, who knew when they might catch up?
Better to be cautious!
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's concerns were justified, as while Sun Wukong and Shen Lang were each refining their fourth Spirit Pill and starting on the fifth, a ripple appeared at the distant space entrance.
A dozen figures materialized at the space entrance, none other than the experts from the seven major forces led by Wu Tao.
Indeed, they had followed!
How did they manage to find this treasure place?
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's expression changed, more Creation Light projected from the Creation Jade Disc, covering the cave where the three stood, sealing in every wisp of their aura.
This way, unless Wu Tao and his men were standing right on top of this floating island, they wouldn't possibly find them.
"Changbai, your intuition was indeed correct; this place is truly extraordinary!"
Wu Tao surveyed the surroundings after a moment, expressing admiration towards Luo Changbai, a Middle Stage Earth Immortal expert from You Ruo Valley of the Tianqin Star Domain.
Among the four Star Domains, when it comes to sensory abilities, the people from the Tianqin Star Domain are the strongest, with Luo Changbai being among the best.
Wu Tao and his companions had faced multiple attacks in the Desolate City, mostly puppet attacks from formations.
Luckily, after countless ages, without anyone controlling them, the destructive power of those formations and puppet enemies had greatly reduced, allowing them to defeat them one by one with combined efforts.
Traversing to the courtyard where Sun Wukong and his group resided, Luo Changbai suddenly paused.
He sensed unusual aura within the courtyard.
Thus, under Luo Changbai's insistence, the experts of the seven major forces entered this area, discovering within a completely different world, revealing a hidden expansive space!
"Strange, there seem to be marks of battle here!"
Unexpected by Sun Wukong and the others was the prompt arrival of Wu Tao and his men, leaving all traces of battle exposed to their view.
"There are indeed signs of battle here, indicating someone arrived before us."
"Who could it be?"
"Who else but Sun Wukong and his company! Besides them, who else has entered this Desolate City?"
"No wonder they avoided us! Perhaps they knew long ago this place contained wonders! Truly a group of traitorous scoundrels!"
Wu Tao and his people were filled with anger, as if Sun Wukong's unwillingness to join them was an unforgivable crime.
"Utterly shameless!"
The dialogue of Wu Tao and his associates was transmitted fully into the cave, reaching the ears of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor.
The barrier formed by the Creation Light only isolated all aura from Sun Wukong's group, allowing outside sounds and aura to come through; it was a one-way barrier.
Listening to the disgraceful remarks of Wu Tao and his group, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor felt disdain; he wondered why they should take these strangers along?
Utterly ridiculous!
"Find them! We must locate them! There must be hidden treasures here, we can't let them snatch them first!"
Wu Tao declared, given the situation, it seemed Sun Wukong and his group had come straight here upon entering the Desolate City, implying a significant treasure here!
The current question was where Sun Wukong and the others had reached, or whether they had obtained the treasure?
"The battle traces are on these floating islands; there are no traces on the front continent, they must be among these islands!"
After carefully examining, Luo Changbai came to a conclusion.
"Search!"
Wu Tao gritted his teeth, "Search each island thoroughly! Find them! If they refuse an alliance, they're enemies; if they won't hand over the treasure, they'll hand over their lives!"
"Yes, Brother Wu!"
"Search!"
The experts from the seven major forces shouted, commencing a search on the various floating islands.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong and Shen Lang were focusing on pill refinement.
Refining pills requires complete concentration, any distraction is unacceptable, causing Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor to frown.
Should they indeed be discovered, he would have no choice but to act!
