Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 290 - 290 Two Seven Nine Alchemy

290: Two Seven Nine Alchemy 290: Two Seven Nine Alchemy No one doubted the words of the Upper Qing Saints, believing that even the heaven and earth could be destroyed if they so proclaimed, let alone destabilizing the Human Path.

“Humph!”

Seeing the other saints remaining silent, the Upper Qing Saint snorted coldly, withdrew his Qingping Sword, and slowly disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Oh, what times we live in!”

Only once the Upper Qing Saint had left did Zhunti voice a sigh.

After that, the other figures also vanished.

…

…

At Qingcheng Mountain, after Jiang Chen had adjusted to the changes brought by Fate, he gathered his disciples to teach them about the Tao of Upper Qing.

He imparted to them mystical techniques and divine abilities in order to increase their strength.

At some point, when the disciples were deeply engrossed in their revelations, Jiang Chen’s figure suddenly disappeared from the main seat.

After such a long delay, it was time for Jiang Chen to refine the Nine Heavens Xuan Pill.

Although he had enough life’s original source for making the pill, he still needed auxiliary medicine for a better effect.

Such as the pure essence of Innate Water and Fire, and the Evergreen Spiritual Root in the cave.

With a flick, his figure returned to the cave where the inheritance of Taiqing resided.

Then, without any hesitation, he walked in.

Compared to before, the place had not changed.

The Evergreen Spiritual Root, as well as all the celestial medicines within the cave, was still emitting a seductive aroma.

The Taiqing inheritance, still lying quietly on the jade platform.

Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to the inheritance of Taiqing.

Instead, he focused on the Eternally Green Spiritual Root and the spiritual medicines around it.

The most precious thing in this cave was the Taiqing inheritance.

As long as Jiang Chen didn’t touch it, everything else inside the cave was his for the taking.

Some spiritual medicines were all he took.

As long as he didn’t touch the core inheritance, how could the Saint of Taiqing make a fuss about it with Jiang Chen?

In fact, even if Jiang Chen did touch the Taiqing inheritance, the Saint of Taiqing could do nothing.

After all, these were the debts the Saint of Taiqing owed the Upper Qing Saints.

The so-called impartial Saint of Taiqing sided with the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign at the time of the Quantitative Calamity, thus inciting a great karma with the Upper Qing Saint.

So what if Jiang Chen, the successor of the Upper Qing Saint, took the treasures of the Saint of Taiqing?

Isn’t this a fitting case of karma?

While analyzing all these in his mind, Jiang Chen didn’t slow down his actions.

With a flash of profound light, the spiritual medicines in the cave vanished, collected by him to be relocated to Qingcheng Mountain.

In the end, Jiang Chen used his divine abilities to uproot the Evergreen and left the cave, returning to Qingcheng Mountain.

On his way out, he didn’t forget to take that wisp of the essence of Innate Water and Fire with him.

Now with all the materials collected, it was time for him to start making the pill.

…

Upon returning to Qingcheng Mountain, Jiang Chen didn’t rush to make the pill right away.

Instead, he closed his eyes and contemplated, simulating the various problems he might encounter while refining the Nine Heavens Xuan Pill.

It wasn’t until he was fully prepared that he opened his eyes and began to set up the process of pill refinement.

First, Jiang Chen inscribed various array patterns on Qingcheng Mountain, intended to draw the power of heaven and earth for the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Array.

Jiang Chen did not have a furnace, but did not require one.

He planned to use Heaven and Earth as the furnace to refine the Nine Heavens Xuan Pill.

Without the Innate Spiritual Treasure, using Heaven and Earth as the furnace was undoubtedly the best choice, superior in countless ways to any pill furnace.

After setting up the array, Jiang Chen took out the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and the Banner of Youming.

The two treasures resonated with each other, one invoking the power of Yin and one that of Yang, together manifesting the Sun True Fire and the chill of the Nine Abysses, perfectly blending opposing forces together to refine the pill.

After being busy for three days, Jiang Chen finally completed the preparations and officially started the pill refinement.

“Arise!”

With a slight stir in his mind, Jiang Chen activated the Mountain Protection Array of Qingcheng Mountain.

Suddenly, thirty-six ancient star shadows emerged, dispersing brilliant starlight.

Boom!

As the Heavenly Gang Array revolved, the brilliant divine patterns lit up on Qingcheng Mountain.

The earth vein’s powerful energy surged out and mixed with the infinite starlight falling from the sky, transforming into an overwhelming force of Heaven and Earth.

A gigantic, indescribable furnace gradually appeared before Jiang Chen, surrounded by the power of Heaven and Earth.

This was the Heaven and Earth Furnace, constructed from the power of Heaven and Earth.

Simultaneously below the Heaven and Earth Furnace, on the left and right sides, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and the Banner of Youming both shone brightly.

One manifested the Sun True Fire, the other manifested the Nine Abysses Chilled Water, both flowing towards the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

This was indeed the process of using Heaven and Earth as the furnace, Yin and Yang as the coal, with the creator as the craftsman!

The grandeur of the setting alone indicated the extraordinary nature of the pill Jiang Chen was about to refine.

“Go!”

At this moment, Jiang Chen took out the essence of Innate Water and Fire he had obtained from the mountain peak earlier, and infused it into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Roar!

Growl!

With the echoes of dragon roars and tiger growls, the phantom of a black dragon and a white tiger dashed out from Jiang Chen’s body and settled into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Boom!

Inside the furnace, the power of Yin and Yang boiled over, pouring towards the phantom images of the dragon and the tiger.

However, regardless of how violent the Yin and Yang powers were, it didn’t melt the two phantom images.

Instead, they were absorbed by them, becoming nourishment for their growth, further enhancing their power.

At this moment, Jiang Chen took out the celestial herbs and spiritual grasses he had obtained from the cave earlier and threw them all into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Roar!

Growl!

The dragon soared and the tiger leapt, each rushing towards the celestial herbs and spiritual grasses, devouring them voraciously.

Before long, all of them had been entirely consumed.

As a result, the phantom images of the dragon and tiger solidified further.

Ignoring the transformation of the dragon and the tiger, Jiang Chen took out the Green Bamboo Fruit.

He made a cut in the stalk to release the accumulated Innate Spiritual Liquid within.

Exactly seventy-two droplets fell from the stalk of the Green Bamboo Fruit, hovering in front of Jiang Chen and emanating a bright, glowing aura.

Any single droplet among them could enhance one’s cultivation by a hundred years.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen put them all into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Just like before, seeing the Innate Spiritual Liquid coming, the phantom dragon and tiger in the Heaven and Earth Furnace immediately pounced towards it and devoured it.

At the same time, Jiang Chen plucked the three Green Bamboo Fruits hanging on the bamboo stalk.

Any mortal eating one of these fruits would skip ten thousand years of painful cultivation and directly achieve the Golden Immortal state.

He also threw them into the Heaven and Earth Furnace for the phantom dragon and tiger to devour.

After consuming the three Green Bamboo Fruits, the dragon and tiger’s strength surged hugely, their bodies completely solidified.

If you looked quickly at them, you might really think a black dragon and a white tiger had descended.

At this stage in the pill refining process, Jiang Chen had reached the most critical moment.

All that was left was to coordinate the dragon and tiger, the Yin and Yang, and infuse the life’s original source at the right time.

After refining it for several months, the Nine Heavens Xuan Pill would be ready.

Any normal person at this stage would be extremely anxious, afraid of any mistakes in the final step that would render all their previous hard work useless.

But Jiang Chen was different.

Backed by his Fate, he had nothing to fear.
