Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 377: Awakening Pill, Marrow

Under the doubtful and angry gazes of the crowd, a giant Divine Cauldron suddenly appeared before Qinchuan.

The Divine Cauldron grew as if it caught the wind in Qinchuan’s hands, instantly swelling to the size of the Divine Pillar.

With a grand wave of Qinchuan’s hand, the Divine Cauldron, as if alive, actively flew towards the serpentine dragon head looking back.

With a "crack," one ear of the Divine Cauldron hooked onto the dragon head, while its other ear hooked onto the horn of another dragon head.

Thus, the Divine Cauldron hung between the two great dragon heads, and from a distance, it resembled two dragons coiling around a pearl.

"What is this kid trying to do with a cauldron?!" The crowd was baffled by Qinchuan’s series of actions.

The next moment, Qinchuan could be seen circling left and right around the dragon heads on the round platform of the Divine Pillar, then suddenly a flame appeared in the palm of his hand.

The flame danced and flickered in his palm, so lifelike it seemed to have its own life.

"Alchemy Fire!"

Some sharp-eyed cultivators had already recognized that the flame in Qinchuan’s palm was Alchemy Fire, which only alchemists could condense.

"Could it be, this kid intends to perform alchemy on the Divine Pillar?"

"But why would this kid conduct alchemy anywhere other than here, why did he choose to run up to the Divine Pillar?"

As it turned out.

Qinchuan had a purpose for coming to this Divine Pillar.

He had already retrieved his Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root and was only one step away from the final stage of awakening the Innate Spinal Marrow—refining the Nine Revolutions Awakening Pill·Marrow.

The Innate Spinal Marrow is also known as the Innate Spine.

From the name, it’s not difficult to understand that the Innate Spinal Marrow is situated at the spinal bone in the human body.

The spinal bone is the only connection between the body and the brain in humans; it can be likened to a heavenly pillar.

If the heavenly pillar is broken, then one no longer has the opportunity to ascend, which shows the spinal bone’s marvelous utility and importance in the human body.

Furthermore, due to the significance of the spinal marrow, thousands of meridians and acupoints inside the human body are more or less connected with the spinal bone.

Once the Innate Spinal Marrow is awakened, at that time, the meridians and acupoints within his body will also undergo a qualitative breakthrough, and the speed of cultivation will grow immensely, far surpassing that of past days. Discover exclusive content at novelbuddy

This is why Qinchuan chose to awaken his second Innate Spinal Marrow.

And what he was preparing to do atop this Divine Pillar was to refine the Nine Revolutions Awakening Pill·Marrow.

Qinchuan then raised his arm horizontally, lifting it to his front, facing the giant open dragon head.

He blew into the air, and the Alchemy Fire in his palm soared up, flying towards the mouth of that dragon head.

The next moment, the Alchemy Fire flew into the midst of the dragon head, which seemed to ignite, and the dragon head suddenly spouted out a surge of fierce flames.

Following suit, Qinchuan ignited the other dragon head with the Alchemy Fire.

As a result, two purple flames under the Divine Cauldron, like dragon breaths, began to scorch the Divine Cauldron.

"What!?"

"How could flames be coming out of that dragon head?"

The cultivators didn’t know that this Divine Pillar was left here by Qinchuan in the ancient past to suppress the Heavenly Demon Forest.

Standing at the boundary between the Heavenly Demon Forest and Tianqing City, the Divine Pillar was simultaneously nourished by Demonic Qi and Spiritual Energy.

Over the years, the Spiritual Energy from Tianqing City and the rolling Demonic Qi from the Heavenly Demon Forest condensed within this pillar, eventually forming the dragon spirits of the two divine dragons on top of the pillar.

Qinchuan intended to borrow the power of these two immense dragon spirits to refine the Awakening Pill, and he had just ignited the dragon spirits within the two giant dragons.

Therefore, to the observers, it looked as if the dragon heads were spewing flames when, in fact, it was the dragon spirits burning themselves.

Qinchuan leaped onto one of the dragon heads, and an array of spiritual medicines began to emerge from his hand, as he started to throw them into the Divine Cauldron.

The crowd finally confirmed their suspicions.

"This youngster is truly preparing to refine elixirs!"

"To ignite the two great dragon spirits, using the ancient Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi sealed within the Divine Pillar as Alchemy Fire, and the Giant Cauldron as the furnace to concoct elixirs. Such grandiosity, such audacity!"

The onlookers, having come to their senses, couldn’t help swallowing hard, their hearts tremendously shaken, all astonished by Qinchuan’s unheard-of method of alchemy.

Although the spectators couldn’t discern the foundational quality and Dao Rhymes of the Divine Cauldron hanging from the dragon head, from a distance they saw its simplicity and dignity. The faint presence of Dao Rhymes implied its extraordinary nature, and they knew this cauldron was no ordinary artifact.

The crowd wasn’t wrong. The cauldron Qinchuan was using at that time was the very Divine Cauldron left behind by the Prison Mountain drunkard and discovered in the back mountains of the Congyun Sect.

Because the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root was extremely unique and prone to dissipate quickly, had Qinchuan used an ordinary cauldron, the Spirit Root would have vanished before it could crystallize.

Even if Qinchuan employed various techniques, he would still lose much of the Spirit Root’s Spiritual Energy, decreasing the potency of the Nine Revolutions Awakening Pill and potentially affecting the awakening of the Innate Marrow.

But using the Divine Cauldron was different; it was truly a Divine Artifact with boundless Spirituality, forming its own realm within, capable of locking in the medicinal efficacy and Spiritual Power of all sorts of treasures from heaven and earth without any leakage. Coupled with the Nine Revolutions Alchemy Method, the medicinal strength of all spiritual medicines in the cauldron would fully integrate into the elixir, with no waste whatsoever.

Qinchuan’s use of dragon spirits as Alchemy Fire and the Divine Cauldron as a pill furnace had indeed shocked many onlookers.

But at the same time, it also drew disdain from many Alchemy Masters, as well as cultivators with exceptional skills in alchemy.

At this moment, a white-bearded elder in the crowd spoke dismissively, "What a showy display! Alchemy requires precise control over the Alchemy Fire and mastery over the properties of spiritual medicines. It’s not about the strength of the Alchemy Fire."

The people around recognized the speaker as Wu Danzi, a distinguished alchemist of Tianqing City.

Wu Danzi was an Alchemy Master at the Dragon Transformation Realm, with extraordinary alchemy accomplishments. Although merely in the late stage of Dragon Transformation Realm, it was rumored that he had once refined an incomplete Great Dao Pill, causing various powers and cultivators to take notice.

The reason why his Great Dao Pill was incomplete was solely because his perception of the Dao wasn’t deep enough. The Dao Rhymes within the pill were insufficient to enable cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm to break through to the Holy’s Realm, hence deeming it incomplete.

However, the quality and medicinal properties of the pill could be considered first-rate.

Once he became famous, many sects extended him invitations, and he held considerable renown in Tianqing City.

With even Master Wu Danzi saying as much, the onlookers began to echo the sentiment, flattering and fawning, "Master Wu Danzi’s words are most accurate. The way of alchemy, much like the way of cultivation, is about skillfulness. This young fellow’s reckless approach will never yield an elixir."

With Wu Danzi having spoken, the surrounding crowd also suddenly recalled their earlier overreaction.

They thought to themselves, "We were actually taken in by this kid’s bluff."

At the same time, they shook their heads.

"Without unique methods and skills, one can only blunder through by sheer force. Though it may look impressive, you can’t refine an elixir that way."

"Exactly, exactly. The flames spouted by that dragon head are fierce and scorching, but they are uncontrollable in temperature and flame direction. How could one possibly refine an elixir with that?"
