Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Dan Yang senior, is the source of fire related to planetary consciousness?"

Sun Wukong stroked his chin and looked at Danyang Daoist.

"Looks like little friend Sun also knows about planetary consciousness, this will be easy."

Danyang Daoist laughed, "The primeval fire of this planet's source of fire is formed from the embodiment of the planetary consciousness."

"Can planetary consciousness really manifest?"

Sun Wukong and Shen Lang were quite shocked.

"Of course it can!"

Danyang Daoist said, "Planetary consciousness is the awareness born from the origin power of a planet."

"This kind of awareness can be defeated and transformed into various origin powers. This planet's primeval fire is what it becomes after the consciousness has been defeated, its original awareness has been eliminated, leaving only the most primal power!"

"This kind of fire source is extremely precious to us alchemists. It can greatly enhance alchemy ability and is also the best tool for testing divine alchemist qualifications."

Sun Wukong and Shen Lang exchanged a look, their eyes showing considerable interest, and they asked Danyang Daoist how to use the planet's primeval fire for the divine alchemist qualification test.

"It's simple, although this planet's primeval fire can greatly enhance alchemy ability, it's extremely violent!"

"To refine pills within the planet's primeval fire, one's ability to control the flame must reach a very high level."

"Only those who have reached the divine alchemist realm can refine spirit pills in such violent flames."

Danyang Daoist explained, Sun Wukong and Shen Lang understood, so this is why the divine alchemist's qualification test is conducted within this planet's source of fire.

"So if we each refine a batch of elixir pills in this planet's source of fire, we've passed the divine alchemist's qualification test?"

"Exactly! But you need to refine a divine alchemist level elixir pill, the Condensing Origin Pill!"

Danyang Daoist spoke, flipping his hand, a pill recipe appeared in his hand, lines of text from the pill recipe floated forth, appearing before Sun Wukong and Shen Lang.

"Is this the Condensing Origin Pill recipe?"

Sun Wukong and Shen Lang's eyes brightened simultaneously, they had long heard of the famous Condensing Origin Pill, today they finally saw the pill recipe, and they could even refine it, what a stroke of luck!

The two quickly memorized the pill recipe.

"There are quite a lot of materials here..."

Sun Wukong frowned, "Old Sun doesn't have that many materials on him."

"Hahaha!"

Danyang Daoist laughed, "Little friend Sun is joking, how could I let you bring your own materials? The alchemy room inside holds all the materials, enough for your refining."

"If you two friends are ready, just go in!"

He pointed towards the alchemy room in front of them, Danyang Daoist instructed Sun Wukong and Shen Lang.

Sun Wukong and Shen Lang exchanged a glance, nodded, and stepped forward, each entering an alchemy room.

This alchemy room wasn't much different from other alchemy rooms, the only difference was probably the enormous alchemy furnace in the center.

The whole pill furnace sat atop the planet's primeval fire, its lower half of the alchemy cauldron was burnt red, while the upper half was chillingly cold.

Just after two glances, Sun Wukong realized this alchemy furnace was quite special, a cauldron made from such materials is significantly beneficial for alchemy!

Looks like there's no need to provide your own cauldron, using this alchemy furnace is plenty.

As for alchemy materials, there were plenty, neatly arranged on the shelves along the four walls. Judging by the amount, it's more than enough to refine one batch of Condensing Origin Pills, seventeen or eighteen batches even.

"The Alchemist Guild is truly wealthy and imposing!"

Sun Wukong secretly marveled in his heart, not spending too much time idling, he jumped directly onto the main seat of the alchemy furnace and began refining the Condensing Origin Pill.

With a flip of his palm, a fire thread shot out from the palm of his hand, directing it at the alchemy furnace, enveloping most of the furnace.

These fire threads directly formed into shapes of fire dragons, and the surging flames quickly triggered the underground planet's primeval fire.

Colorless flames rushed up from below, linking with the Heavenly Saint Fire and merging together.

In an instant, the flames surged, almost enveloping the entire alchemy furnace.

Sun Wukong's expression changed slightly, this planet's primeval fire is indeed violent!

He quickly gathered his mind, fully controlling the Heavenly Saint Fire to suppress the planet's primeval fire, pushing down its violent nature.

The planet's primeval fire originally intended to resist, but in front of the Heavenly Saint Fire, it encountered its king, and after only a slight resistance, it submitted, becoming as docile as a kitten.

Sun Wukong let out a sigh of relief, controlling the Heavenly Saint Fire to guide the planet's primeval fire in preheating the alchemy furnace.

Gradually, the whole alchemy furnace turned red, Sun Wukong nodded, the preheating phase was about right, ready for pill refinement.

With a wave of his hand, the spiritual materials placed on the shelves on both sides flew up, falling into the pill furnace through the opened lid.

Refining the Condensing Origin Pill originally required placing materials into the alchemy furnace one by one slowly for refinement, but Sun Wukong's Divine Sense control ability was extraordinary. He was already used to refining them all at once, the same applies to the divine alchemist level Condensing Element Pill.

All the spiritual materials were placed simultaneously into the alchemy furnace, melting gradually under the furnace's flame into clumps of spiritual liquid.

Soon, the impurities within the spiritual liquid were refined out as strands of black lines, turning to fly ash in the alchemy furnace.

Clumps of spiritual liquid became increasingly crystalline and transparent, emitting alluring luster.

It's almost ready!

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly sharpened, the dozens of clumps of spiritual liquid in the alchemy furnace suddenly gathered towards the center.

At the instant of contact, the differing attributes of spiritual liquid exploded with powerful explosive power, shooting in all directions.

"Suppress it, Old Sun!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, his Divine Sense manipulating the Heavenly Saint Fire to pounce, forcibly suppressing the explosive power.

This is the Pill Explosion phenomenon occurring during spiritual liquid fusion, controlling it ensures successful merging of the spiritual liquid.

If not controlled, it would lead to a Furnace Explosion, lightly causing all efforts and materials to be wasted, heavily causing impact damage to the one refining.

In such situations, Sun Wukong could be said to be very adept.

Fusion of all spiritual liquid at once will certainly cause a Pill Explosion, but strong control over the flames can suppress the power of the explosion.

After the explosion power rumbled for a while, it gradually weakened, all spiritual liquid continuously fused, its size rapidly shrinking, finally forming a sphere the size of a dragon's eye.

Next is to engrave the Heavenly Dao Laws' inscriptions and let the pill completely solidify into form.
