Moreover, as Long Chen spoke, the surrounding space trembled, and faint flame runes appeared. Seeing this, the three were startled and quickly covered their mouths.
Long Chen hadn't expected that just a casual word from him could cause spatial disturbances and stir the flame power within the space.
You have to know, this place is supported by formations, so every element is suppressed. Yet with just three words, Long Chen can make the suppressed flame power erupt in an instant.
Without the formation support, the three words Long Chen mentioned could have directly ignited the treasure pavilion. Long Chen himself didn't know how this could happen.
"Long Chen, you're in a state of rage right now. You must find a way to calm down first." Yu Qingxuan hurriedly said. Since Long Chen couldn't calm down, he couldn't speak any further.
Long Chen nodded, but whenever he thought of the scene of the Dan Emperor being ambushed by the Great Brahma Heaven, murderous intent surged within him, and he couldn't calm down.
Previously, he only had a vague understanding of the matters between Great Brahma and Luo Tianye, and had heard that the two had betrayed the Dan Emperor. He never expected that Dafantian would dare to assassinate the Dan Emperor.
Long Chen had never known what his relationship with the Dan Emperor was, but when he saw the Dan Emperor being stabbed, he couldn't control the murderous intent in his heart.
After half an incense stick's time, Long Chen still couldn't calm down. The more he tried to stay calm, the harder it was to calm down, and the more the scene from earlier surfaced in his mind.
Long Chen was helpless and could only hold Yu Qingxuan's hand, drawing words on her palm with his fingers, and asked what she had just seen.
Yu Qingxuan told Long Chen that she had entered the world of Volume Eight, merged with the essence of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra, and had already begun to grasp its power.
But what she had grasped was only part of the scriptures, only the basics. The more advanced scriptures needed to be gradually understood, but she had already memorized them all. Achieving comprehensive integration was only a matter of time.
When Yu Qingxuan asked Long Chen about his gains, Long Chen was stunned. He hurriedly searched his memories, and soon, the image of that green lotus appeared in his mind.
He saw endless runes, each with a unique sound, but Long Chen couldn't find a complete way to recite them.
In other words, the eighth volume of the Great Brahma Sutra had already been imprinted in his memory, but how to use it would require his own research.
The eighth volume contains tens of millions of runes. If he were to find a set of scriptures among those tens of millions to use, the difficulty level would make Long Chen's scalp tingle just thinking about it.
What surprised Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan was that, influenced by the two, Lu Chengkong had also comprehended part of the essential meaning of the scriptures. This made Lu Chengkong overjoyed—it was as if the eighth volume of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra had opened its doors to him.
After analyzing the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra and being distracted, Long Chen finally regained a bit of calm from his previous state. He was slowly able to speak. Although he still summoned the power of flames, it was no longer as intense.
"Dean Chengkong, I'd like to visit our Pill Institute. I wonder if our institute has a suitable pill furnace? Lend me one." Yu Qingxuan said.
Yu Qingxuan loved alchemy, and her skills were in no way inferior to Long Chen's. Most importantly, she was calm and composed, handling subtle details even better than Long Chen, especially when refining certain specific pills, where Long Chen was at a disadvantage.
With her around, all the pills for the Dragonblood Legion were provided by her, so even if Long Chen left, the Legion would still not lack pills.
There was even a large amount of surplus that Yu Qingxuan had given to the academy. You have to know, Yu Qingxuan only refined two kinds of pills: either supreme-grade pills or supreme pills. Even Bai Letian and the others treated Yu Qingxuan with great respect, because they all needed her pills for support.
However, Yu Qingxuan's pill furnace was rather ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that the Qiankun Cauldron had already recognized its master, Long Chen would have even considered giving it to Yu Qingxuan.
Although Long Chen obtained the Demon Moon Cauldron this time, because it was a demon cauldron, Yu Qingxuan herself was too upright and lacked a trace of strange and evil aura, so she couldn't refine the demon pill.
Long Chen himself was no good person, and years of killing had tainted too much strange and evil energy, making refining demon pills twice as effective with half the effort.
So, although Long Chen had two divine cauldrons, he couldn't give either to Yu Qingxuan. This made Long Chen feel very guilty. Now that Yu Qingxuan had spoken, Long Chen immediately perked up.
"Of course no problem. Our Alchemy Institute has four imperial-grade pill furnaces, but only one is in use; the others are idle.
Even the alchemy furnace that was in use refused to acknowledge its master. As long as you can make them recognize it as a master, you can use all four of them without any problem. "Lu Chengkong said cheerfully.
While Yu Qingxuan was comprehending the eighth volume of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra, Lu Chengkong noticed a strange phenomenon of Danxia divine radiance above Yu Qingxuan's head. At that moment, he was stunned, because he knew that only Dan Emperor-level pill cultivators could possibly display Danxia divine radiance.
And those who can awaken the Danxia Divine Light are usually one in a million. So, when Yu Qingxuan said she was going to the Pill Institute, he didn't hesitate and immediately prepared to lead the way.
However, Long Chen told them not to rush. He continued to the stone table. At this moment, the eighth volume of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra was charred black, nothing could be seen. Clearly, the scroll was ruined.
But Volume Nine remained intact. After studying for a long time, Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan found that Volume Nine was still full of fear. No matter what method Long Chen used, there was still no sign of it.
"Perhaps only by refining eight volumes of the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra can one be qualified to comprehend the ninth volume!" Yu Qingxuan probed.
Long Chen heard this and thought it made sense. Yu Qingxuan had only just entered the eighth volume, and he hadn't even entered yet, yet he wanted to comprehend the ninth volume, which seemed unlikely.
Long Chen could only give up and followed Lu Chengkong outward. When he looked at Yue Zifeng, Gu Yang, and the others, they were each holding ancient books motionlessly, already in a meditative state. Clearly, they had all found treasures suited to them.
Long Chen didn't disturb them, and together with Lucheng, they cleared out the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion. The old man at the door was still sound asleep, sleeping soundly, drool spilling all over the floor.
"Eloquent," Long Chen exclaimed.
Long Chen's words made Yu Qingxuan laugh instantly. She lightly slapped Long Chen and shot him a look—this guy was really unruly.
When they returned to the academy, all the craftsmen had already begun their work, and everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
Long Chen and the other two arrived at the Pill Institute. The Pill Institute was surprisingly the most intact courtyard in the academy, because the entire Pill Institute was relocated from the small world.
"Greetings, Dean."
When Long Chen and the other two arrived, they went out to greet a young disciple.
Long Chen was taken aback. Logically, when they arrived, the one coming out to greet them should be the head of the Pill Institute or a deputy dean-level figure, since Long Chen had already greeted Lu Chengkong earlier.
"Where's your dean?" Long Chen asked casually.
"Well... Ahem... The disciple coughed awkwardly.
Long Chen immediately understood: "Where's the vice dean?" "
Ahem...
"Where are the elders?"
"Ahem... "
