After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 328 - Heavenly Fire Refining Pills, Ancient Cauldron as the Vessel

Chapter 328: Heavenly Fire Refining Pills, Ancient Cauldron as the Vessel

The phoenix’s cry was sharp and ethereal, making everyone’s heart tremble upon hearing it.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw dense phoenix fire emerging from Jiang Chen’s body, gathering above and forming the phantom of a majestic phoenix spreading its wings.

The phoenix’s wings spanned dozens of zhang.

Although it was just a phantom, its feathers moved without wind, its crown was bright red, and its eyes were commanding, exerting pressure on the surroundings.

“Gulp...”

Everyone found it difficult to swallow, their eyes wide and faces showing shock.

What shocked them was not the phoenix fire.

After all, since the Mysterious Ice Realm, many knew that Jiang Chen possessed such heavenly fire.

What truly shocked them was that Jiang Chen was summoning the phoenix fire, which meant... he intended to use it to refine pills?

Phoenix fire was heavenly fire, and there was no problem using it to refine pills, but such powerful heavenly fire required sufficient cultivation to control it completely!

“Hmph, showing off!” Yu Shi scoffed after his initial shock.

He was certain.

With Jiang Chen’s current level of cultivation, he simply could not achieve the delicate control over the phoenix fire.

Using such heavenly fire to refine pills would surely result in the destruction of the pills and the dispersal of the fire, ultimately producing nothing but waste pills!

After casting a wary glance at the phoenix phantom above, Elder Zheng also shook his head.

How about being the young master of the Jiang family? What about possessing treasures?

On the path of the Way of the Pill, without sufficient cultivation and talent, no amount of external help would suffice.

While everyone was discussing, Jiang Chen once again touched the spiritual ring on his hand.

A dazzling golden light emerged from the ring on his finger, bright and blinding, accompanied by ancient murmurs.

All who saw and heard it were inexplicably stunned.

Once the golden light faded, everyone could clearly see the object within.

It was a bell wrapped by a golden dragon, with teeth and claws bared, and its surface was engraved with dense, ancient characters!

The moment the bell appeared, an ancient and desolate aura swept through the surroundings.

“Buzz—”

At the same time, a violent trembling sound came from the main tower of the Ancient Pill Tower.

The trembling spread like waves, and when the sound waves touched the bell, it caused the bell to tremble as well.

“Dong!!”

Then, the bell rang!

The sound was like waves, layer upon layer.

As the bell rang, everyone felt as if they were in ancient times, with all colors fading from their eyes, everything decaying and withering, the winds and clouds ceasing, with only the golden ancient bell’s colors remaining vivid, its golden light covering the sky.

This was only for an instant.

When everyone came back to their senses, before they could marvel, they realized everything had returned to normal with no abnormalities.

“Dragon Cauldron Ancient Bell?!” Elder Zheng exclaimed in shock.

This bell was a treasure obtained by the Jiang family’s Old Ancestor during his battles in other realms.

Although its grade was unclear, its power was extremely strong, undoubtedly an ancient artifact.

In today’s world, anything related to ‘ancient’, be it items or secret manuals, was considered a treasure, invaluable.

Elder Zheng had never imagined that the Jiang family would entrust such a treasure to Jiang Chen!

What’s more, he couldn’t understand what Jiang Chen intended to do by summoning the Dragon Cauldron Ancient Bell at this moment.

“Not good!”

Yu Shi suddenly remembered something and urgently shouted, “Jiang Chen, put away the ancient artifact! Otherwise...”

Before he could finish, the ‘buzzing’ sound from afar intensified.

A gray light streaked from the main tower of the Ancient Pill Tower and stopped in front of Jiang Chen.

As the gray light faded, a four-legged, two-eared cauldron with dense ancient patterns, a color of gray with hints of red, and divine light entwined around it, with heavy iron chains hanging from its four legs, appeared before everyone.

This was the Ancient Pill Tower’s treasure cauldron, the Four-Legged Divine Pattern Cauldron!

The treasure cauldron hovered in front of Jiang Chen, with gray and red lights shining together, and the chains on it clanging.

Jiang Chen’s mind moved, the ancient bell trembled, and golden light spread.

Under the cover of the golden light, the Four-Legged Divine Pattern Cauldron began to retract its brilliance, settling in front of him motionless.

“No... impossible! This can’t be!” Yu Shi was extremely shocked.

This Four-Legged Divine Pattern Cauldron was also an ancient artifact and had been the pill cauldron of an Old Ancestor of the Ancient Pill Tower.

After the Old Ancestor of the Ancient Pill Tower had perished, neither the old Tower Master, Shi Ning, nor the other elders had succeeded in making this ancient cauldron their own, for ancient artifacts have spirits and choose their own masters!

Yu Shi had guessed that the ancient bell would attract the Four-Legged Divine Pattern Cauldron, but he did not expect... that Jiang Chen could control the Ancient Pill Tower’s treasure cauldron through the ancient bell!

This was simply inconceivable!

However, for Shi Ning, the elders of the Ancient Pill Tower, and the people from Jiuyan Sect, there was no surprise at all.

Because they all knew very well that in the nine cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Chen had once used the special effect of this ancient bell to destroy the Ancient Pill Tower’s treasure cauldron!

“Screech—”

The phoenix phantom cried again and then plunged into the Four-Legged Treasure Cauldron.

In an instant, the phoenix fire burned within the cauldron, the flames reaching dozens of zhang high, illuminating half the sky.

At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but think of a question.

The power of the phoenix fire was immense, and using it to refine pills with insufficient cultivation would surely result in an explosion.

But what if one used an ancient cauldron to refine pills?

An ancient cauldron was far superior to ordinary pill cauldrons, its hardness sufficient to contain heavenly fire.

Its ancient inscriptions inside could assist the pill refiner master in better controlling the pill fire.

With both complementing each other, wouldn’t that eliminate the possibility of an explosion?

Not only that, but it could also better remove impurities, increasing the rate of successful pill creation while improving the quality of the refined pills!

“Using heavenly fire and an ancient cauldron to refine pills, even a sixth-grade pill refiner master could produce seventh-grade pills with decent quality!” an observer exclaimed.

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Undeniably, Lin Feng’s talent in the Way of the Pill was indeed not bad.

But the Jiang family’s resources were overwhelming.

With both heavenly fire and the ability to control an ancient cauldron through the ancient bell, the first place in this third trial would likely belong to Jiang Chen!

Elder Zheng’s brows were tightly furrowed, his lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

“Bold!” Yu Shi shouted back in anger.

“Jiang Chen, how dare you take our Ancient Pill Tower’s treasured cauldron to refine pills? To take without asking is to steal!”

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and couldn’t be bothered to respond.

“Didn’t the Ancient Pill Tower’s Old Ancestor say that the ancient cauldron has a spirit and will choose its master? Elder Yu, are you treating the Old Ancestor’s words as nothing?” Shi Ning cursed loudly.

“...”

Yu Shi was left speechless.

He was filled with hatred!

The Old Ancestor’s words were meant to motivate the disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower, not to give the ancient cauldron away.

After all, in the entire Central Domain, those with the talent to be recognized by the ancient cauldron were almost all within the Ancient Pill Tower.

Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would benefit from this!

Moreover, Jiang Chen wasn’t truly recognized by the ancient cauldron. He had manipulated it through that ancient bell!

In plain terms, he had used tricks!

Yu Shi was very clear about this.

Shi Ning and the other high-ranking members of the Ancient Pill Tower were all acting madly, and for some reason, they all stood by Jiang Chen’s side.

Even though Yu Shi was the Great Elder, he was ultimately unable to contend with a group of madmen and could only cast a pleading look towards Elder Zheng.

Noticing Yu Shi’s intentions, the madmen also coldly turned their gaze towards Elder Zheng.

Feeling his scalp tingle under the madmen’s scrutiny and considering his own safety, Elder Zheng had no choice but to mediate: “This is an internal matter of the Ancient Pill Tower. You handle it yourselves.”
