"What is happening?
Did you all see that? An alchemy furnace actually flew out from that young man's body and landed in the palm of that little Daoist child!
But isn't this scene before us, including these little Daoist children, illusory?"
Seeing this spectacle, everyone else was completely stunned, doubting their own eyes. Bewildered expressions appeared on their faces.
Initially, everyone believed the scene of the little Daoist child refining pills was an ancient imprint fixed here, something illusory now. But now, that little Daoist child had actually summoned an alchemy furnace away from Ye Yunfei's person. This was just too bizarre.
"Brother Ye, what is going on?" Meng Wu asked Ye Yunfei curiously.
"I don't know either. I stumbled upon that alchemy furnace in the Xuwu Secret Realm," Ye Yunfei answered truthfully.
"Young man, was that alchemy furnace yours? It doesn't seem like a common item!"
At this moment, Master Dan Yuanzi suddenly looked towards Ye Yunfei and asked.
However, Ye Yunfei had no time to pay him any heed, for all his attention was currently focused on that little Daoist child.
"Senior, do you think that little Daoist child could be the master of that furnace?" Ye Yunfei communicated his doubts and thoughts via Sound Transmission to the Remnant Soul inside the Phantom Tower.
"That is possible. For a physical alchemy furnace and an illusory alchemy furnace to merge together suggests they could belong to the same furnace. That little Daoist child summoned the furnace hidden on your person with a single shout. He is likely the owner," the Remnant Soul replied.
"If that's the case, then let it go. I originally thought I could obtain an alchemy furnace left behind by a Deity. I never expected to encounter its owner now. I can only return it to its rightful owner and consider myself unlucky."
Ye Yunfei thought it over and sighed.
Although Ye Yunfei had some urge to rush over and reclaim that furnace, that little Daoist child was half-real, half-illusory, and could very well be a Deity from ancient times—mysterious to the extreme. Ye Yunfei didn't want to provoke him lightly. Besides, this was originally someone else's possession, and they held no grudge against each other. Ye Yunfei couldn't bring himself to snatch it away.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Ye Yunfei actually ignored him, not even glancing his way, Master Dan Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a surge of internal anger, letting out a cold snort.
As a prestigious and renowned Alchemy Grandmaster traversing the Chaotic Void Sea, wherever he went, he was treated like the moon surrounded by stars, welcomed by major powers. Even senior experts would treat him with courtesy and respect.
Now, seeing that Ye Yunfei, a mere junior, completely disregarded his inquiry, Dan Yuanzi felt somewhat humiliated. Naturally, he was furious in his heart.
"Pill Completion!"
Right at this moment, the little Daoist child inside the palace suddenly gave a light shout.
Finally, the pill was refined!
Boom...
The lid of the alchemy furnace was violently blasted open by a concentrated surge of pill essence vapor. A Divine Pill radiating pure, crystalline white light leapt out from within the furnace. It seemed to contain the essence of myriad heavens, infinitely profound.
Rumble...
Vast sounds of the Great Dao resounded. Multicolored clouds of mist coalesced, clustering around that white Divine Pill, appearing incredibly divine and extraordinary.
Right then, the white Divine Pill suddenly underwent a change, transforming into a cute little white rabbit. It was as if it had gained life, actually starting to run around inside the palace.
After finishing his alchemy, the little Daoist child sat down cross-legged in the main hall of the palace, closing his eyes to rest and conserve his energy.
The alchemy furnace was placed on the ground in front of him.
"Divine Pill! This is a Divine Pill!"
Seeing this scene, Dan Yuanzi exclaimed, utterly excited.
"I actually had the fortune to witness a senior refining a Divine Pill! As long as I diligently practice this senior's alchemy techniques, I will certainly ascend to new heights on the path of alchemy in the future!"
Dan Yuanzi shouted, tears streaming down his face, his voice trembling.
Earlier, Dan Yuanzi had intently watched the little Daoist child's alchemy process, memorizing every step and every detail.
Divine Pill!
The others watched the happily running little white rabbit and knew Dan Yuanzi was correct. The pill the little Daoist child just refined was indeed a Divine Pill.
Legend had it that when a Divine Pill was refined, it could take form and even possess life force!
"To think I've witnessed a Divine Pill Master refining a Divine Pill today. It's truly too miraculous!
Unfortunately, my alchemy techniques have long been neglected; I've fallen far behind in this regard."
While feeling awe-struck, Ye Yunfei secretly lamented in his heart.
One must know, back in the Tianxuan Continent, Ye Yunfei's alchemy skills were among the highest in the entire world. Later, when he left Tianxuan Continent, there was a period when his alchemy skills still outshone all his contemporaries.
However, as his strength grew and he gradually stepped into ever broader worlds, especially after breaking through to the Immortal Realm, Ye Yunfei's alchemy skills began to lag behind.
Not to mention Divine Pills, even crafting Immortal Pills had become beyond his current capacity.
"If I get the chance later, I should study alchemy more thoroughly. After all, it provides immense benefits for cultivation," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
"These little Daoist children truly are illusory projections. But why could that little Daoist child earlier summon the alchemy furnace from that kid's body? It's just too strange."
At this moment, a Full Circle Heavenly Immortal walked over to an empty space nearby and tried to touch a little Daoist child who was brewing tea with boiling water. His hand passed right through the child's body.
This proved that the little Daoist children in the scene before them were indeed all illusory.
"Maybe there's something strange about that alchemy furnace? Asking that kid should give us the answer."
Someone looked over at Ye Yunfei.
"I thought coming into the Xuwu Realm, we might obtain treasures or opportunities left by the Xuwu God. As it turns out, there's nothing. It's really too disappointing," another person said.
"Since we've come in, let's search around a bit first. Perhaps a pleasant surprise awaits us later," someone replied.
"Brother Ye, Brother Lu, let's go look somewhere else. This cluster of palaces before us seems illusory. Staying here won't yield any harvest."
Meng Wu said to Ye Yunfei and Lu Jun.
"Fine, let's take a walk elsewhere," Lu Jun nodded.
However, right at that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt a stir in his heart, his eyes fixed inside the palace where the little Daoist child had been refining pills, his face filled with shock.
Because just moments ago, Ye Yunfei seemed to hear that little Daoist child speaking.
"To think this young man is tainted with the auras of so many Deities."
That was the content Ye Yunfei heard the little Daoist child say.
What shocked Ye Yunfei even more was that the little Daoist child seemed to suddenly open his eyes and sweep a glance at him!
"Could it be that this senior isn't illusory, but real?
A real Deity?"
Ye Yunfei was dumbfounded, unable to accept it, wondering if he had perhaps misheard.
"Forget it. It's just an alchemy furnace. I'll give it to you."
Just when Ye Yunfei was doubting if he had misheard, a faint, barely perceptible voice sounded again.
This time, Ye Yunfei was certain that it was that little Daoist child speaking!
