There are still three months before Danta's public assessment, so Ye Chen still has a lot of time to do his own things.
But first, he needed to help his grandfather Ye Chong refine the Sea Heart Flame...
"Refining strange fire is very dangerous, and elixirs must be prepared in advance. Fortunately, I got some elixir recipes that can assist in refining strange fire, so it shouldn't be too dangerous."
In the Ye family's secret place, Ye Chen said to Ye Chong.
"I don't know what to say to you, kid. It seems like you always have some weird things in your hands." Ye Chong teased with a smile.
Ye Chen just smiled slightly and didn't say much, but directly took out the recipe for the Earth Spirit Pill.
"This Earth Spirit Pill requires quite a few medicinal ingredients. Although I collected some along the way on my way back, I'm still short of a main ingredient and some auxiliary ingredients."
"What's missing?" After carefully studying the recipe, Ye Chong looked up at Ye Chen and asked.
"Green Wood Immortal Vine!" Ye Chen said directly.
During this journey, Ye Chen bought the Earth Core Fire Ganoderma, Ice and Fire Dragon Beard Fruit and the Sixth-Rank Water Attribute Magic Core from the big cities he passed by. However, he still couldn't find the remaining Green Wood Immortal Vine, so he had to return to the Ye family to find a solution.
"The Green Wood Immortal Vine?" Ye Zhong pondered carefully for a moment, then said, "I do remember that Han Li, the Danta deacon, once owned one. How about this? I'll go to Shengdan City myself and see if I can get it. You prepare the other things first, and I'll refine it when I get back!"
Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
He did what he said. On the same day, Ye Zhong boarded the space wormhole to Shengdan City. During the past few days, in addition to preparing for the refining of the Earth Spirit Pill, Ye Chen also took the time to refine all the pills that the original Medicine Master used to refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire for Xiao Yan.
The three essential items needed to refine the strange fire are Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring and Na Ling.
Of course, these are the three necessary items prepared for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in the original work. Xiao Yan was able to refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire at the Dou Shi level, and these three items prepared by Yao Lao played an important role.
The Sea Heart Flame ranks higher than the Blue Lotus Earth Heart Fire, but lower than the Fallen Heart Flame, so Ye Chen not only prepared the fifth-grade Blood Lotus Pill, but also the sixth-grade Earth Spirit Pill. In this way, refining the strange fire will be twice as effective with half the effort.
As for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and the Naling, the former is not too rare in the Dan Realm and it is still easy to get it.
The key point is the Naling, which can only be found in the center of the highest-level Nashi...
But you have to know that high-level Nashi is an essential material for making high-level Na rings, so you can imagine how rare it is, and the probability of Na Ling existing in high-level Nashi is not very high, which makes it even rarer.
Only Danta could possibly possess such a thing, so when Ye Zhong went to Shengdan City this time, besides the Green Wood Immortal Vine, the more important reason was actually to ask Danta to buy Naling...
More than ten days passed, and Ye Chen had prepared everything, waiting for Ye Chong to return.
Ye Chong did not let him wait too long. On the thirteenth day, he returned to the family, exhausted.
Seeing Ye Zhong's joyful expression, it must be good news...
As expected, Ye Zhong not only produced the Green Wood Immortal Vine, the final ingredient needed for the Earth Spirit Pill, but also two thumb-sized gray stones. Each stone was as smooth as jade, without a single flaw. Within the core of each stone, a faint blue light slowly wriggled, like a tiny, living insect.
"Is this the Naling?" Ye Chen took it and looked at it curiously, but he didn't find anything special. Only when he scanned it with his soul power did he find that there was indeed a small space inside...
"Very good, everything is ready, so let's start refining the Earth Spirit Pill. Grandpa, you can adjust your condition while I'm refining the pill. Then we can start refining the Sea Heart Flame directly and strive to achieve a transformation in people's strength before the Dan Tower's public assessment!"
Ye Chen was already proficient in refining sixth-grade elixirs, so there was no need for Ye Chong to take action this time.
However, the refining of the Earth Spirit Pill is still very time-consuming, and when the pill is completed, a blue beam of light shoots up into the sky, visible to everyone in the city.
Fortunately, this is Danyu, and Yecheng has the Ye family, so the residents of the city have long been accustomed to this kind of movement.
If it was a seventh-grade top-level elixir that could cause pill thunder, everyone would still be interested, but just the strange phenomenon of the Earth Spirit Pill was not enough to arouse anyone's interest.
Everything was ready, and the atmosphere inside the Ye family's secret place became slightly solemn.
Although he had made all the preparations, since it was his first time refining the strange fire, Ye Zhong's expression was still unusually solemn.
Ye Chen, who only had experience in theory, was about the same...
"Grandpa, I'm going to release the strange fire, get ready!"
"Yeah." Ye Zhong nodded slightly and immediately became extremely alert.
Seeing this, Ye Chen waved his hand and released the half-dead body of Han Feng from the Star Emblem Ring. Then, he released a stream of Dou Qi from his hand and directly reduced the body to ashes...
At the moment when the original owner died, the originally extremely small sea-blue flame suddenly expanded several times. In just a moment, the sea-blue flame turned into a ball of deep blue flame like water, suspended in the air.
As the flames grew in size, the temperature within the chamber rose rapidly, and even the surrounding stone walls, made of solid bluestone, began to melt rapidly...
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ye Chen couldn't help but take two steps back, raised his head, and looked at the Sea Heart Flame rising in the air with a serious expression.
Fortunately, the situation was not too serious. Although the Sea Heart Flame, which had lost its restraints, erupted, it was still within the controllable range.
Everything that followed was done according to procedure. He swallowed the pill, extracted the fire, and absorbed the strange fire into his body...
Although the process seemed extremely thrilling, Ye Chong himself was very strong. Moreover, as a seventh-grade alchemist, he had a strong soul power and could restrain the strange fire more strongly, so overall it was a safe and secure process.
Looking at Ye Chong who was protected by the sea-blue flame shield in front of him, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense face gradually relaxed.
Now that he had reached this stage, the success rate of refining this strange fire was at least 70%. Next, as long as he could absorb the domineering Sea Heart Flame into the Naling, then this Sea Heart Flame, the fifteenth-ranked strange fire, would completely become his grandfather's original fire...
This is something that all alchemists can only dream of!
