Chapter 9: The Creation Furnace

  Mo Yang silently examihe items within his spatial ring, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. He turo Su Fei’er and said, "I keep my word. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways, as long as you don’t e looking for trouble with me!"

  Su Fei’er snorted coldly aed, "Hmph, who’d want to bother with you? I was only curious before!"

  Mo Yang quickly waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Miss, please don’t get curious about me. Otherwise, you’ll end up falling for me sooner or ter!"

  Su Fei’er let out another cold snort, turned on her heels, ahe courtyard.

  Once she was gone, Mo Yang couldn’t wait to step inside his house, closing the dhtly behind him. Without hesitatioered the stoower.

  He went straight to the sed floor, where a dark pill furnace as tall as his shoulders stood. Only now did he notice three a characters etched onto its surface: Creation Furnace.

  The area surrounding the pill furnace had already been ed thhly during his previous visit. Besides the divine pill manual, there were also two a scrolls, each filled with insights and experiences on pill refining.

  To Mo Yang, these scrolls were akin to having araordinary alchemy master by his side. Over the past few days, he had itted their tents to memory.

  Ihe furnace, a crimson fme bureadily, its ins unknown but seemingly eternal.

  "Could this be a type of celestial fme? Otherwise, it wouldn’t have sted so long… Sihis furnace is called the Creation Furnace, I’ll his fme the Creation Fme!" Mo Yang murmured to himself as he studied the furnace. He then began preparing his materials.

  The divine pill manual provided a general cssification of pills, ranging from simple to plex, each requiring different ingredients.

  The more on pills required fewer, easily obtainable ingredients, while spiritual pills demanded a multitude of rare araordinary herbs.

  For his first attempt, Mo Yang chose a basic pill recipe recorded in the manual: the Marrow sing Pill.

  As its name suggests, the Marrow sing Pill purifies the body by removing impurities, enhang one’s physical stitution, and refining their spiritual roots. It could even achieve a state of unparalleled purity and had a signifit impa refining true energy.

  Mo Yaed this pill because it was ideal for cultivators with low cultivation levels. By improving their foundation from the start, it offered immense bes for future cultivation. Additionally, it required only two ingredients, making it retively simple to refine.

  "Hundred-Spirit Vine and Long Ginseng Beard—only two ingredients. I’ve memorized the alchemical intations and teiques; it should be easy to refine!"

  Taking a deep breath, Mo Yang carefully measured the ingredients and began his first attempt.

  However, as soon as he pced the Hundred-Spirit Vio the fur was instantly ed by the crimson fme, reduced to ashes before he could react.

  "I even used my true energy to envelop the ingredients. Why…"

  Frowning in ption, Mo Yang tried again. Unfortunately, the sed attempt ended just like the first.

  Uerred, he tried a third, fourth, and fifth time…

  Time passed unnoticed. More than half of his Hundred-Spirit Vine supply had been ed, yet success tio elude him. Although he had gotten closer with each attempt, the final steps always led to failure.

  "Dammit! I refuse to believe that such a small pill defeat me!"

  "I survived ten years of darkness! No matter how many times you test me, I’ll treat you like royalty!"

  With renewed determination, Mo Yang dove into atempt. Twice more, he came close to success, only to fail at the critical moment.

  Moreover, he discovered that while pill refining didn’t seem to e much true energy at first, the repeated attempts had drained him pletely. Exhausted, he could only sit down to meditate aore his energy before resuming.

  Hours turo days as he painstakingly refihe ingredients. By the time his supply of Hundred-Spirit Vine and Long Ginseng Beard was nearly depleted, he finally succeeded in f a single pill.

  However, the pill looked nothing like the descriptions in the manual. Its color was dull, its surfaeven, and its shape irregur.

  Holding it in his palm, Mo Yang couldn’t help but grie his exhaustion. He ied it briefly before swallowing it whole.

  The moment the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved into a warm current that spread throughout his body. Soon, he felt a fiery sensation as if his insides were abze.

  Soured out of his body, soaking his clothes within moments. His entire bei as though it were being purified in an intense inferno.

  Though the pain was excruciating, Mo Yang gritted his teeth and endured. Half an hour ter, the burniion subsided, leaving behind an indescribable sense of lightness and fort.

  Ign the grime that had seeped from his pores, Mo Yang immediately circuted his true energy. He noticed it had beore refined and easier to trol. Even his cultivation level seemed to have risen slightly.

  "Impressive…"

  The manual had hat the first dose of the Marrow sing Pill was the most effective. Subsequent doses would yield diminishiurns.

  "If I refine one pill each day, in half a month, I’ll have undergone a plete transformation. The only issue is the ck of ingredients…" Mo Yang muttered, frowning. The thought of ing Su Fei’er again briefly crossed his mind, but he doubted she’d fall for it twice.

  After meditating to restore his energy, Mo Yahe stoower.

  For the few days, he focused on refining pills iower, produg two more Marrow sing Pills before running out of materials entirely.

  Despite his ck of formal cultivation practice, the repeated depletion and recovery of his true energy during alchemy had uedly accelerated his progress. By the time he emerged from the tower, his cultivation had reached Earth Profound Realm, Stage Three.

  Life on Wood Peak remained quiet. Mo Yang even found himself hoping for Su Fei’er to visit—not for her pany, but in the hope of seg more ingredients.

  Buying materials from a nearby city wasn’t an option; the cost alone rohibitive.

  "Looks like I’ll o refine some kind of beauty-enhang pill to ‘exge’ for resources… Not a scam, just a fair trade…" Mo Yang mused, a pn already f in his mind.
