Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 224 - 226 Sealing Anxi

Mu Can watched Anxi Demon Venerable, who was full of arrogance, and thought secretly.

Let him be arrogant now, he’ll be crying later.

Thinking so, Mu Can however remained composed, waiting for Wang Cai to initiate the attack.

"Hahaha, scared now, aren’t you? Know how powerful I, Anxi Demon Venerable, am now?"

Anxi Demon Venerable rattled on like a child, seemingly eager to vent all the gloom that had accumulated in his heart over the years.

"Woof! Attack now."

At Wang Cai’s command, the silver armor covering Mu Can’s body instantly fell away.

Revealing Mu Can’s youthfully outrageous face hidden beneath the silver armor.

"Oh, so young."

Anxi looked at Mu Can, exclaiming in surprise.

No matter what, he would never have imagined that beneath the silver armor hid such a youthful face. With Anxi’s power, he could tell that Mu Can was truly just over twenty years old. Such a young powerhouse, even in Anxi’s eyes, also stirred up waves of envy.

Unbelievably young, such a youngster was actually on par with a Demon Lord’s power.

"Hehe!" Mu Can looked at Anxi, whose face showed surprise, and chuckled.

"Still laughing on the brink of death?"

Whoosh!

The Reincarnation Pearl turned into a streak of light and flew instantly before Anxi Demon Venerable. Before Anxi could react, it adhered to his body and changed back to the form of silver armor.

However, unlike on Mu Can, the silver armor on Anxi Demon Venerable totally sealed Anxi within it.

"Wuu wuu wuu wuu!"

Anxi struggled desperately, but even the red aura on his body was completely sealed within.

The Reincarnation Pearl was indeed an authentic treasure from the Supreme Interface, one which not even the thiever of the Heavenly Dao could commandeer, only allowing it to seek out its destined owner. Such a treasure, even in a sealed state, was not something that a mere Anxi Demon Venerable could resist.

Even if Anxi Demon Venerable struggled forcefully, he still couldn’t break free from the silver armor formed by the Reincarnation Pearl, firmly confined within.

"Woof! Hurry up, boy. I’m currently using the power of the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer, you only have the time of one incense stick to assimilate him. If you can’t refine him, I will have to seal him, and then you won’t be able to enter the third layer for a whole year."

Even while Anxi Demon Venerable was tightly confined, Wang Cai still urged Mu Can to hurry and refine.

"Fire King Cauldron!"

With a soft call from Mu Can, a small cauldron slowly emerged in front of him, growing larger as it faced the wind, until a Giant Cauldron fell with a clang in front of Mu Can.

It was the long-unseen Fire King Cauldron, the magic treasure used for alchemy by Purple Cloud Pill Master in the past and later became the Mu Family’s clan treasure. Since it was acquired by Mu Can, it had always followed him. Now, in a moment of danger, it finally reemerged in the martial world.

"Fire King Cauldron, seal!"

Connected to the Reincarnation Pearl with his blood, Mu Can controlled the Reincarnation Pearl that enveloped Anxi to directly enter the Fire King Cauldron.

The Fire Dragon, which had the Dragon Ball circulating within his body, instantly left the body, and a giant dragon with red fiery light appeared before Mu Can, churning in the air, diving towards Mu Can, but in the moment that it was about to collide with him, it decelerated swiftly, rubbing its massive head affectionately against Mu Can.

"Go!" Mu Can pointed at the Fire King Cauldron and whispered softly.

The Fire Dragon, as if endowed with its own consciousness, looked at Mu Can with a gaze filled with reluctance, yet it braced itself to obey Mu Can’s command and instantly entered the Alchemy Cauldron.

Bang!

The lid of the cauldron slammed down hard, and the Fire Dragon instantly transformed into a sky full of flames, now confined within the Alchemy Cauldron.

"Fire King Cauldron, refine!"

Mu Can now was no longer the youth who once struggled with fire control. His mastery over the fire attribute had fully inherited the Fire Element Giant Dragon’s talent. To command flames for him was as easy as moving his own arm.

"So what if you seal me, I am undying and unkillable."

Seeing himself imprisoned within a Silver Armor, Anxi clearly started to panic, yet he still maintained a proud demeanor.

"Woof! Intensify the refinement."

"What are you doing, you damned dog, stop biting me."

"Woof!"

Inside the Fire King Cauldron was a scene of utter chaos – who knew what Wang Cai had done to make Anxi’s voice sound even more frantic.

"Woof! Kid, you better hasten the refinement process, I’m going to vigorously absorb his life energy."

This dog truly lived up to its reputation as a scourge recognized by the Supreme Interface, even able to directly absorb life force from the Demon Lord Anxi.

"Go!"

Mu Can let out a soft cry, and True Qi poured into the Fire King Cauldron like money was no object.

Like an accelerant, once Mu Can’s True Qi encountered the flames within the Fire King Cauldron, they surged and transformed into several small dragons, swirling and twisting around the Demon Lord imprisoned by Silver Armor.

"Go ahead and refine boldly, ordinary fire can’t harm me, and even the highest of temperatures is nothing to me, woof!"

For the first time, Wang Cai felt the tremendous perks of being the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl.

After all, the Demon Lord represented life, and the Reincarnation Pearl, as a magic treasure, was utterly fearless of flames.

The Fire Dragon churned, slowly heating up the interior of the Fire King Cauldron.

"Ah! I’m burning up, damn dog, stop biting me."

Anxi Demon Venerable wailed painfully inside, having to use all his might to resist the flames that were frantically refining him, and at the same time, he was distracted by the relentless attacks of Wang Cai from every angle.

Anxi absolutely despised Wang Cai, this damned dog, which would suddenly stretch its mouth filled with sharp canine teeth through the Silver Armor and fiercely bite Anxi’s body. If it were just a simple flesh wound, it wouldn’t be so bad for Anxi, but with each bite, the dog managed to extract a stream of red aura from Anxi’s body. This aura, under the flames’ refinement, slowly eradicated the Slaughter Energy, leaving behind only the essence of pure Life Energy, which was directly absorbed into the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Woof! Kid, no need for alchemy, just use fire to refine him. Woof woof!"

"Holy crap, where are you biting now?"

Shocked and angry, Anxi Demon Venerable cried out as just then, his buttocks were fiercely bitten again, and even a chunk of flesh was bitten off. However, no blood flowed out, and a stream of pure Life Energy was directly assimilated into the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Woof! Kid, we struck it rich. This is enough to support you in the Reincarnation Pearl’s Third Layer for a long time."

Sensing the abundant Life Energy within the Reincarnation Pearl, Wang Cai’s dog face was already brimming with a smile.

Indeed, one cannot trap the wolf without giving up the child. If it were not for its own forceful activation of the Confinement power within the Reincarnation Pearl Fourth Layer, such gains would not have been possible today.

"Good!" Mu Can nodded, and the Fire Dragon instantly moved around within the Fire King Cauldron, and through the cauldron, Mu Can could feel the intense heat bearing down on him.

"Ah! I beg you, no more roasting, if it goes on I’ll be cooked through."
