A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Chen Yang laughed heartily, knowing that Yang Hongyuan was eager to witness the refining process of a fifth-grade pill. Without further ado, he nodded and said, "Peak Master Ma, I'll trouble you to have someone build a pill-refining furnace according to the blueprints I drew..."

Without wasting any words, Chen Yang picked up a pen and paper and quickly sketched out a blueprint for a huge alchemy furnace with condenser pipes.

This alchemy furnace has a very peculiar shape: the bottom diameter is more than eight meters long and the height is more than thirteen meters, but the middle part is unusually "puffy" with a diameter of more than seventeen meters!

The furnace walls are densely covered with countless special condenser tubes, crisscrossing like a spider web, specifically designed to precisely control the furnace temperature. Inside the furnace, there are also many winding channels designed to disperse the fiery properties of the medicinal materials, eliminating the risk of flammation at the source.

Yang Hongyuan leaned closer, staring intently at the blueprints, his eyes widening as he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Peak Master Ma, quick! Order people to forge it according to these blueprints immediately, without altering even the slightest detail!"

He turned to look at Chen Yang, his face full of admiration: "I've truly seen something amazing today! In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen a pill-refining furnace designed like this! No wonder I always felt like I couldn't get it right when refining high-grade pills before—it was the design of the furnace that was wrong! It seems that if you want to master pill refining, you also need to study the art of forging pill-refining furnaces!"

Ma Wei didn't dare to be negligent. Knowing Yang Hongyuan's temperament well, and knowing even more clearly that the blueprints he praised so highly were no ordinary work, he immediately nodded: "Okay! I'll have someone start construction right away!"

He glanced at the dimensions on the blueprints and added, "However, this alchemy furnace is far too large, and the forging process is extremely complex. It will probably take two days to complete. Why don't you two go back and attend to other matters first, and I'll personally deliver it to the Alchemy Peak once it's finished?"

"That won't do!" Yang Hongyuan immediately waved his hand, his tone firm. "This is a crucial tool for refining sixth-grade pills. Can you guarantee it will be foolproof? My friend Chen and I must stay here and keep an eye on it; we can't leave even for a moment! Right, my friend Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang gave a wry smile and could only nod: "Yes, we'll wait here and lend a hand if needed."

"Alright!" Seeing this, Ma Wei didn't insist any further. "You two can stay here and give me directions. If you need anything, just call me anytime!"

"Go on, go on, Chen Xiaoyou and I are here, there won't be any problems!" Yang Hongyuan waved his hand impatiently, sending Ma Wei away.

In the blink of an eye, the impatience on his face turned into a fawning smile. Like a lapdog, he circled around Chen Yang, occasionally throwing out a few questions related to alchemy, always trying to get some real information out of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn't hide anything.

His alchemy skills originally originated from the Tianhai Sect's inheritance, but with the system's enhancement, they had long since been elevated to a perfect and unparalleled level, far surpassing the Tianhai Sect's current alchemy foundation. A whole level higher!

If the strongest alchemy skills of Tianhai Sect can reach the Divine Power Realm, then Chen Yang's alchemy level is equivalent to the Golden Core Realm.

A few pointers would be enough.

When Yang Hongyuan asked for his advice, he was very generous and started by explaining the fundamental principles of alchemy, getting straight to the core issues.

Yang Hongyuan listened with rapt attention, and many bottlenecks that had troubled him for decades suddenly became clear. His alchemy experience improved rapidly, and his gaze toward Chen Yang became increasingly respectful and grateful.

Chen Yang stood at the forging site, watching with great interest as the disciples of the Refining Peak forged the alchemy furnace.

Although this forging method cannot compare to the profound mysteries of talismans, formations, and alchemy, it still has its own unique methods. The inner disciples moved with practiced ease, first laying down fire-resistant copper sheets, and then opening six huge copper pipe heads—these copper pipes were made of special materials, with a layer of high-temperature resistant crystals similar to quartz sand coated on the surface.

"open!"

With a loud shout from a disciple, the copper valve was suddenly turned open, and with a hissing sound, intense ground fire erupted instantly, orange-red flames shooting into the sky, and waves of heat rolled in, turning the entire forge into a furnace.

Following Chen Yang's instructions, the disciples put the prepared rare ores into the furnace, heated them at high temperatures to melt them, and then poured them into the pre-made molds. The whole process was carried out in an orderly manner.

Watching this scene, Chen Yang couldn't help but nod: "This weapon forging technique is indeed worth learning. It seems much simpler to get started than alchemy or talisman making. I estimate it won't take long to reach the beginner level."

Just then, Chen Yang suddenly frowned slightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the six copper pipes that spewed flames.

The flames from the five copper pipes, though varying in temperature, possessed a pure and normal aura. However, the flame from the westernmost pipe carried a subtle yet peculiar pressure—a pressure so tangible it seemed the flame possessed life and intelligence, even exerting a slight oppressive force on his mental energy!

"Strange..." Chen Yang thought to himself.

He turned to look at Yang Hongyuan and the others, finding them perfectly normal, clearly unaware of anything amiss. Even the busy inner disciples nearby seemed completely unfazed, obviously clueless about the flame's unusual nature.

"It seems that only with sufficient mental strength can I perceive the difference in this flame." Chen Yang stroked his chin, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart. "There must be an unknown secret hidden behind this flame."

He made up an excuse to "go to the restroom nearby" and quietly left the forging site, heading straight for the fire source room connected by the copper pipe to the west.

The fire source chambers of the Refining Peak are hidden inside the mountain. The six fire source chambers are located in six directions, like six hearts, providing the fire energy needed for forging the entire Refining Peak.

With a clear goal in mind, Chen Yang walked quickly and soon arrived at a hidden cave entrance.

Beside the cave entrance, a Divine Power Realm elder dressed in a gray robe sat cross-legged, cultivating with his eyes closed. A faint spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from his body; he was the guardian of the Fire Source Chamber.

Chen Yang hesitated slightly, then his eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his hand—whoosh! A sword saint puppet, indistinguishable from a real person, instantly appeared not far away, holding a long sword, and approaching the elder with light steps.

"Who?!"

The elder suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them. Sensing someone approaching, he instantly became alert.

Without a word, the Sword Saint Puppet turned and ran towards the distant dense forest at lightning speed!

"Who goes there!" the elder roared, leaping forward like an arrow, instantly giving chase without giving the puppet any thought.

Taking advantage of this opening, Chen Yang donned the God-Concealing Cloak, and with a flash, he slipped into the cave entrance like a ghost.

The passage was pitch black, filled with intense heat, and the air was so hot it was almost suffocating. He continued deeper into the passage, and soon he heard the whooshing sound of flames burning ahead, and the temperature rose sharply.

This is the core area of ​​the fire source chamber. In the huge furnace, flames are burning fiercely. Ordinary people dare not approach it. Only the disciples responsible for adding fuel will come to work regularly wearing specially made fire-resistant clothing.

In a corner of the fire source room, Chen Yang clearly sensed the special aura carrying mental pressure, which was even more intense and terrifying than what he felt outside.

He followed the scent and groped his way forward, stopping in front of a stone wall, gently stroking it with his palm. Suddenly, he felt a loose stone brick, and with a gentle push—click! The brick flipped open, revealing a narrow passage just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Chen Yang bent down and crawled inside. At the end of the passage was a hidden secret room!

In the center of the secret chamber stood a huge torch with a diameter of more than one meter. The torch was covered with intricate and strange patterns, and it shimmered with a faint red light as if it were alive.

At the top of the torch, a faint blood-red flame burned. The flame flickered quietly, yet it exuded a chilling spiritual pressure, as if it could devour one's soul!

On the ground around the torch, there were also intricate patterns, forming a pattern similar to an altar. Faint red light flowed within the patterns, echoing the blood and fire on the torch.

Chen Yang's pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the scene before him, a sudden realization dawning on him: "This... this is the Holy Fire Altar of the Holy Fire Cult that the Six Doors asked me to find!"
