Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Four-Pattern Meteoric Fire Furnace

Lin Jing frowned and looked on.

The Alchemy Room was in a complete mess.

The Three-legged Copper Furnace had been blown to pieces, scattered in several chunks across the floor.

The remnants of Elixir Medicine were splattered everywhere, with quite a bit even sticking to Lin Jing’s clothes.

Waves of fragrance from the Elixir Medicine remnants wafted up, drilling straight into Lin Jing’s nostrils.

The fragrance was overwhelming, suggesting that the process had been successful.

However, the explosion at the end puzzled Lin Jing.

“It seems I’ll have to wait until my injuries have healed before seeking advice from Ning Yue.”

With that thought, Lin Jing did not delay any further.

He endured the intense pain coming from his internal organs.

He directly took out a Pure Jade Box from his Storage Bag, opened it, and placed the Elixir Medicine into his mouth.

Lin Jing’s injuries from the explosion were quite serious, especially in his internal organs, where the pain was unbearable, almost as if they had been cracked by the shock.

In order to recover as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to take out a flawless level Blood Coagulation Pill and consume it.

Upon entering the mouth, the Elixir Medicine instantly turned into pure spiritual power, flowing tnrougn tne meridians Into every nmt) ancl Done.

Eventually, it reached the internal organs , slowly healing the wounds.

The moment he consumed the Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing felt much better.

He immediately closed his eyes and circulated his cultivation technique to speed up the recovery.

An hour later, Lin Jing got up, moved his body, and felt completely healed, even the internal organs that had been injured by the shock were now fully recovered.

At this time, he had fully recuperated.

The effects of the flawless level Blood Coagulation Pill were indeed extraordinary; he had recovered so quickly.

“This Blood Coagulation Pill, if sold at the Fang Market, would be worth at least 600 Spirit Stones given the current prices.”

Only at this moment did Lin Jing feel a twinge of heartache.

“What a pity, due to my carelessness, I’ve lost 600 Spirit Stones. Next time I do

Alchemy, I must be more careful.”

Early the next day, Lin Jing found Ning Yue.

“Ning Daoyou, I wish to inquire about some matters.”

Ning Yue opened her mouth in confusion, “May I know what this is about? Lin

Daoyou, please speak.”

“Ning Daoyou, you have mentioned before that one needs to be at least at the Late Stage Qi Refining to concoct second-grade Elixir Medicine. Is there any way to achieve this ahead of time?”

“I want to try refining a few furnaces of second-grade Elixir Medicine.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Yue cautioned, “That’s too dangerous for you to attempt right now.”

“Haven’t I told you before? Alchemy requires a high level of Divine Sense strength. The strength of a mid-Qi Refinement Divine Sense simply isn’t sufficient.”

“Unless you have an exceptional gift and your Divine Sense is naturally powerful, then you can disregard this requirement.”

After hearing Ning Yue’s words, Lin Jing nodded.

“Hmm, not just you, Elder Yu from Yuebaolou also mentioned this.”

Having said that, Lin Jing paused for a moment.

“But…”

“A couple of days ago, when I was in the Fang Market, I overheard that someone with a mid-Qi Refinement Cultivation had tried to concoct second-grade Elixir Medicine, and at the crucial moment, due to a lapse in mental focus, the furnace exploded.”

“However, among the splintered remains of the Elixir Medicine, there was still the scent of the Elixir. I wonder what that could imply about his situation?”

“Such a case occurred?” Ning Yue frowned in thought.

After a moment, Ning Yue spoke again.

“If there was a fragrance, it means the concoction was successful. But the explosion at the end could mean that he had already reached his limit and his Divine Sense wasn’t stable, leading to a mistake during the crucial moment of formation.”

“Another possibility is that his Pill Furnace wasn’t up to the task; it had reached its limit during the Elixir Medicine concoction.”

“So, it exploded at the critical moment of successful concoction.”

“You should know, concocting second-grade Elixir Medicine is different from first-grade. It’s not only longer and more difficult to concoct, but the power contained within the Elixir Medicine is not something a first-grade can compare to — a regular Pill Furnace naturally cannot withstand it.” After Ning Yue finished, Lin Jing suddenly had a moment of realization.

“So that’s how it is.”

At this moment, he understood the reason for the explosion of his pill furnace.

His own cultivation was not sufficient, and his divine sense could barely manage to concoct second-grade elixir medicines with the boost provided by the alchemy room.

Furthermore, his three-legged copper furnace was also something he had bought when he first started learning alchemy, and what Elder Yu had recommended was indeed not bad.

But, it was only suitable for concocting first-grade elixir medicines, anything beyond that was beyond the bearing capacity of the three-legged copper furnace.

“It looks like I need to buy a new pill furnace,”

Lin Jing pondered.

In the afternoon, Lin Jing went to Fang Market and headed straight to Yuebaolou.

When Lin Jing arrived, there were not many customers in Yuebaolou.

Elder Yu was somewhat drowsy behind the counter.

“Elder Yu, wake up…”

“Look what I’ve brought you?”

As he spoke, he took out a jug of Qinghua Zui and swung it in front of Elder Yu.

“Kid, hand it over to me.”

Before he finished his sentence, the jug of wine disappeared from Lin Jing’s hand and appeared in Elder Yu’s.

Looking at Elder Yu now, he was full of energy, no longer showing any sign of drowsiness.

Elder Yu took a gulp of the wine and let out a long, satisfied sigh.

Then, squinting, he looked at Lin Jing.

“No one visits a temple without a cause, tell me, what is it this time?”

“I remember you’ve just bought alchemy ingredients not long ago, you shouldn’t be in need now.” Lin Jing laughed with a “hehe” sound:

“Hehe…”

“Elder Yu, here’s the thing. I want to buy a pill furnace.”

Elder Yu asked, “What, the three-legged copper furnace you had before is no good?”

After he spoke, he suddenly realized something and corrected himself:

“Right, your alchemy skills are about there now, it’s indeed time to replace that old three-legged copper furnace.”

Lin Jing lowered his head, a bit embarrassed:

“It’s not that… Elder Yu, that three-legged copper furnace, I accidentally caused an explosion while concocting and it’s broken.”

“Broken?”

Elder Yu opened his mouth in surprise, then stroked his chin.

“I wonder how you’ve been practicing, kid. Not only do you concoct elixirs quickly, but fiercely too. You actually managed to ruin a six-timed furnace like the three-legged copper furnace.”

“Anyway, you do need a new pill furnace now. Wait here for a moment, I’ll go fetch you one.”

Having said that, without waiting for Lin Jing to speak again, he left the counter and went towards the back of the shelves.

Soon after, Elder Yu came back out.

At the same time, he was holding a fiery red pill furnace in his hand, and the body of the furnace was entwined with cloud patterns, looking quite extraordinary.

Only…

This pill furnace seemed not very large, even a bit smaller than the three-legged copper furnace.

Elder Yu walked over, placed the pill furnace on the counter with a “thud,” demonstrating that despite its size, it was not light in weight.

“This pill furnace, named the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace, is forged from Fire Meteor Iron.”

“Moreover, there are four patterns engraved on the body of the furnace, which can make alchemy much more effortless for the alchemist, an exceptional magic artifact. Whether it’s concocting first-grade or second-grade elixir medicines, it’s incredibly easy.”

“Even when concocting third-grade elixir medicines, there won’t be any problems.”

“Moreover, this pill furnace is a magic artifact which contains some stardust sands. After it’s refined, it can change size at will.”

“Magic artifact…”

Lin Jing looked at the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace and swallowed. “This pill furnace must cost quite a number of Spirit Stones..”
