The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 103 Ranking of Alchemy Furnaces

Having considered everything, Ye Qingyang gently released his fingers, slowly putting the Divine Wood Spirit Flame Furnace into his robes, and carefully tidying up all the rare medicinal herbs. After doing this, he took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then slowly released his divine sense, exploring the depths of the space.

This time, his attention was highly focused, without the slightest distraction. When his divine sense touched the pile of books, a thought stirred within him. Ye Qingyang reached out, casually pulled out a few books from the pile, and examined them carefully.

The first thing that catches the eye is a book called "Identification of Herbs". Turning the pages, you will find detailed records of the characteristics, habits and uses of various exotic flowers and plants.

Next is "The Complete Book of Alchemy," which systematically explains the techniques, methods, and precautions of alchemy.

Next, let's look at "The Cultivation Basics of Medicinal Plants," which provides a simple and easy-to-understand introduction to how to cultivate and manage medicinal herbs.

Finally, there is a book titled "Ranking of Famous Alchemy Furnaces in the Cultivation World," which should be helpful for studying alchemy furnaces.

As Ye Qingyang flipped through the books, he thought to himself, "Without exception, all of these books are related to herbs. It seems that this Hermit Fuchen must be a highly skilled alchemist!"

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. If he could obtain the inheritance of the Hermit of Fuchen, he would surely achieve greater success in the art of alchemy.

Ye Qingyang glanced casually at the ancient and solemn alchemy furnace beside him, then focused his attention on the "Ranking of Famous Alchemy Furnaces in the Cultivation World" displayed in front of him.

He quickly browsed the list, and after a cursory glance, he was surprised to find that eleven alchemy furnaces had made it onto the list.

Normally, rankings are arranged with even numbers, but this time there were odd numbers, which made Ye Qingyang suspicious.

However, after carefully reading the entire list, he finally understood the reason, and his originally relaxed and casual expression instantly turned serious.

Number one on the list: Primordial Elixir Furnace

This ancient and mysterious alchemy furnace is hailed as a supreme treasure from ancient times, its exact rank remaining uncertain (temporarily categorized as an ancient divine artifact). Legend has it that it was born at the dawn of chaos, a natural creation of the primordial universe. This furnace contains boundless power and mystery; some claim its power is sufficient to refine unparalleled elixirs capable of bringing the dead back to life; others even say that this furnace seems to transcend the constraints of worldly laws, capable of creating many unimaginable miracles.

Tied for first place: Floating Life Cauldron

As another ancient artifact, the Floating Life Cauldron possesses astonishing power. It can absorb the spiritual energy, magical power, and demonic power of all things in the world, refining these energies into a magical essence liquid called "Spirit Replenishing Liquid." This Spirit Replenishing Liquid has a unique effect on plants, enabling them to grow and mature rapidly. However, for animals with lower cultivation levels, the Spirit Replenishing Liquid is like a deadly poison; once ingested, it will cause their bodies to explode and they will die. However, if an appropriate amount of Spirit Replenishing Liquid is added as an auxiliary material when refining elixirs, it can greatly enhance the quality and efficacy of the substitute elixirs.

Second place: Nine Suns Burning Heaven Furnace

This alchemy furnace boasts an ancient and imposing design, its surface shimmering with a faint glow, as if containing boundless energy. While it possesses no powerful fire elemental force of its own, its refining capabilities are unparalleled. Using this furnace to refine pills significantly reduces the time required, while also minimizing the consumption of spiritual energy and divine sense. Even more remarkably, the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Furnace has an extremely high success rate, almost always producing high-quality pills.

Third Place: Purple Flame Universe Cauldron

This alchemy furnace boasts a unique purple clay design, exuding a mysterious and noble aura. Legend has it that the Purple Flame Universe Cauldron contains the purest essence of fire in the world, capable of controlling the power of heaven and earth. When cultivators use it to refine elixirs, they can not only improve the quality of the pills but also potentially comprehend the mysteries of the universe.

Fourth place: Ethereal Sacred Pottery Furnace

The word "ethereal" conveys a transcendent, otherworldly state, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world; while "sacred pottery" highlights the unique efficacy of this alchemical furnace in shaping and cultivating elixirs. As its name suggests, the Ethereal Sacred Pottery Furnace possesses the magical power to purify the mind and gather spiritual energy. With its assistance, the elixirs refined often possess astonishing medicinal power, enough to drive countless cultivators to frenzy.

Fifth Place: Starry Sun Furnace

Stars, tiny specks of light twinkling in the vast universe, each carrying endless mysteries and energy; the sun, that blazing, dazzling light, bringing brightness and warmth to the earth. This treasure, named the "Starry Sun Furnace," is said to have been refined from a mysterious new star that fell from the sky. It gathers the power of stars and the brilliance of the sun, as if infusing the essence of the entire universe into it.

When the Starry Sun Furnace is lit, its interior shimmers with dazzling starlight, resembling a magnificent and colorful galaxy. Alchemists can utilize its unique stellar energy fluctuations to better control the heat and timing of elixir refining, thereby increasing their success rate. Moreover, it is said that elixirs refined using this furnace contain the blessings of the stars and the power of the sun, capable of transforming the user and greatly enhancing their strength.

Sixth place: Shuiyuetian Huading

Water, gentle and benevolent, ever-changing; the moon, waxing and waning, mysterious and unpredictable; the sky, vast and boundless, encompassing all things; and splendor, radiant and dazzling. The name "Water, Moon, Sky, and Splendor Cauldron" perfectly encapsulates its elegance and mystery. This cauldron incorporates water, moon, sky, and splendor in its design, boasting a unique shape and exquisite craftsmanship.

When refining elixirs, the Water Moon Heavenly Cauldron emits a soft moonlight, and the water inside ripples, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. This unique ambiance allows alchemists to focus more intently on the blending and fusion of medicinal properties, resulting in the creation of unparalleled elixirs of superior quality. At the same time, the exquisite patterns carved on the cauldron imbue it with even more spirituality, allowing one to appreciate the wonders of nature.

Seventh place: Thunderous Furnace

Thunder, one of the most destructive forces in nature, represents an invincible and unstoppable force; "ten thousand jun" describes an extremely vast and unparalleled power. The Thunderous Ten Thousand Jun Furnace, as its name suggests, displays an incomparably powerful aura.

Once activated, this furnace will unleash deafening thunder and lightning, a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. The flames within, like a raging dragon, roar and devour everything in their path. With such immense heat, the refining speed and purity of elixirs will be greatly enhanced. However, controlling such violent power is no easy feat; only highly skilled alchemists can unleash the true might of the Thunderous Furnace.

Eighth place: Divine Wood Spirit Flame Furnace

Divine trees, ancient trees with miraculous vitality, absorb the essence of heaven and earth to grow strong; spirit flames, leaping and dynamic flames, are full of life and vitality. The Divine Tree Spirit Flame Furnace ingeniously combines the characteristics of both, creating a wonderful realm of harmonious coexistence with nature.

This furnace exudes a refreshing woody fragrance, its walls covered with verdant leaves and exotic flowers. When the fire is lit, the spiritual flames rise, resonating with the surrounding vegetation to form a self-sufficient ecosystem. Here, the elixirs seem to bathe in nature's embrace, absorbing a continuous flow of spiritual energy. Elixirs refined in this divine wood spiritual flame furnace are not only exceptionally effective but also possess a subtle, refreshing herbal aroma, bringing a sense of tranquility and well-being.

The name "Mysterious Light" signifies a mysterious and dazzling light, as if it were a mysterious light from the depths of the universe. This light is full of boundless energy and divine charm, inspiring awe.

It seems to contain the most powerful energy in the world, capable of helping alchemists refine unparalleled elixirs. Each use is like opening a door to a wondrous world, filling everyone with anticipation.

10th Place: Chaos Returning to Origin Cauldron

The tenth-ranked alchemy furnace is named the "Chaos Returning to Origin Cauldron." The word "chaos" in its name perfectly encapsulates a state of disorder and uncertainty. In this vast and boundless universe, chaos is omnipresent, yet it contains endless possibilities. "Returning to Origin" conveys a sense of returning to the source, a return to simplicity, suggesting that this cauldron possesses the ability to refine all things and restore them to their original form.

The Chaos Returning to Origin Cauldron is like a giant black hole, absorbing everything in the world, from spiritual herbs and immortal plants to rare materials, all can be thrown into it for smelting and refining. Within the chaotic realm inside the cauldron, everything will undergo a transformative metamorphosis, ultimately returning to its purest essence. This characteristic makes the Chaos Returning to Origin Cauldron a coveted treasure for countless alchemists.

Ye Qingyang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He sighed inwardly, "I never expected that these seemingly ordinary alchemy furnaces would possess such miraculous effects!"

He originally thought that alchemy furnaces were only used for refining pills, but now he discovered that they had an even more amazing use—they could actually become a powerful weapon for cultivators to defend themselves!

This unexpected discovery made Ye Qingyang realize that his understanding of alchemy was too shallow, and at the same time he realized that alchemy was indeed a profound and unfathomable subject.

He couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, muttering to himself, "Cultivation, alchemy, talismans, formations, raising spirit pets... there's so much to learn and master!"

Faced with the vast sea of ​​knowledge and skills before him, Ye Qingyang felt both excited and helpless. However, he knew that only through continuous effort and diligent study could he go further on this path and achieve greater success.

So he took a deep breath, strode forward with determination, and prepared to face more challenges in the future.
