The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 10 ~ Spirits

A furnace Zhang Ziyi could see there. A furnace commonly used by an alchemist to concoct pills. Such a thing itself Zhang Ziyi had seen when he and his father were visiting a famous alchemist in the city.

However, Zhang Ziyi felt that the quality of this furnace was far more extraordinary than the furnace in the alchemist residence.

Zhang Ziyi ran small towards the furnace. The young man's spirit was hoarse, to the point that he didn't pay attention to the road. Zhang Ziyi's leg suddenly stumbled onto something.

Zhang Ziyi could not control his body, so he fell down and gore precisely at the pill furnace. Kontan alone, Zhang Ziyi's head immediately leaked at that time. Blood started to pour out from Zhang Ziyi's head. Surprisingly, the pill furnace instantly absorbed the blood Zhang Ziyi had attached to the furnace.

Zhang Ziyi himself was unaware of that. His head was too sore to notice around. The man's eyes were closed hard, trying to endure the pain in his head. Slowly, his consciousness was absorbed by something. Until in the end, Zhang Ziyi did not recall what happened anymore.

***

Zhang Ziyi woke up from his stupor and found himself in a foreign place. His head hurt for a moment. Trying to recall the previous events, but there was nothing he could remember.

The sound of the stream flow could Zhang Ziyi hear. That was when he felt his throat dry. Rising from his sitting position, Zhang Ziyi walked around looking for the existence of the river. It didn't take long for Zhang Ziyi to find the river.

Just as he was about to fetch water using both hands, Zhang Ziyi suddenly stopped his action, looking at the reflection of his face in the water mirror.

"Two?"

So shocked Zhang Ziyi when he found his reflection on the reflection of water. Where, Zhang Ziyi saw his old face. Trying to fumble the skin of his face, but Zhang Ziyi did not find anything wrinkled. His face was soft as well.

While being preoccupied with his thoughts, Zhang Ziyi suddenly heard the voice of a man calling out to him.

"Hi, son!"

Kontan, Zhang Ziyi instantly jumped without a will. He was surprised by the person who called him. People who have no feet. Can float in the air with transparent body, can be translucent.

Zhang Ziyi realized that the reflection of the old face he saw in the water was so similar to this person.

"Who are you?" zhang Ziyi asked as she retreated in a sitting state.

"I am the spirit of the Fire God!" the spirit of the Fire God introduced himself. "Oh, yes son!!! As the son of the emperor, why can your strength be this weak? but relax, I even helped you become strong!"

Zhang Ziyi cursed hearing the man who said he was weak. "Weak what, even I have broken through five stages at a time!" Inner Zhang Ziyi bragged.

The Spirit of the Fire God did not not not not hear Zhang Ziyi mutter just now, but he did not mind it. Also his time was so limited, that he did not want to linger.

"Let's go, son, the purpose I'm meeting you is because you've found the furnace!"

"Well, what does that have to do with finding you in that furnace?" Sosor Zhang Ziyi's. Now he began to dare to the spirit of the Fire God.

"Don't cut my word for moments like this! My time is not much!" the Fire God Spirit.

"I'll teach you how to use the furnace. But before that, you must meet some requirements to use the furnace... Among them was having the Spirit of Fire as well as a great soul force!" The Spirit God of Fire stopped his words for a moment.

"And you don't have both of those requirements... But relax, I'll help you with this! I will help you in terms of this Fire spirit, while for the soul force, you should try yourself!"

Zhang Ziyi nodded even though he was actually confused.

"Well, without lingering, let's just start the ritual!" the Spirit of the Fire God. But before that, the spirit told Zhang Ziyi where the child would gain such great soul power.

-

The Fire God Spirit instantly threw a pimpong ball-sized energy ball towards Zhang Ziyi's forehead. The energy ball shot out and entered Zhang Ziyi's forehead.

It was then that Zhang Ziyi felt a tremendous pain, his body as if it was burning from within. The incident continued for a while.

Zhang Ziyi started to feel back a strange sensation. Where strange new plus memories begin to fill his brain. Zhang Ziyi himself had no intention of rejecting even the slightest of such memories.

The procedure for refining the pill was clearly recorded in his brain. Ranging from high-tier pills, to heavenly-level pills. Everything was clearly imprinted in Zhang Ziyi's memories.

A few moments later. Zhang Ziyi opened his eyes. Dazed for a moment, Zhang Ziyi tried to digest the situation.

Upon awakening, Zhang Ziyi noticed the furnace before him. Then he looked at the various herbs around him.

Zhang Ziyi realized that the place he was at right now was different from when he met the Fire God spirit. Where, he was currently in the cave that he had met earlier.

Searching for the existence of the old spirit, but Zhang Ziyi never saw its existence. "Is that just a dream?" muttered.

Although he thought so, yet Zhang Ziyi felt that everything was as if it were real.

But before that, Zhang Ziyi stepped foot towards somewhere. Tracing every corner of the room in the cave, looking for plants that were meant by the Spirit of the Fire God.

It took about an hour, until Zhang Ziyi found the plant. Once felt desperate Zhang Ziyi when he did not find the existence of the plant. Lucky when he began to resign, Zhang Ziyi's gaze even wrongly caught a strange herbal plant. Its features were exactly what the Fire God Spirit had described earlier.

Zhang Ziyi approached the plant. Something strange yet extremely extraordinary could Zhang Ziyi feel emanated from within the plant. Not only that, for some reason, Zhang Ziyi felt his mentally disturbed a little when he had been near the plant.

"If not wrong, this plant is called the Soul Grass by the Old Man's Spirit!"

Without lingering, Zhang Ziyi instantly did as what the Fire God spirit had taught him.

Zhang Ziyi started absorbing the properties of the Soul Grass. It takes time as well as a sacrifice of taste to complete the process of absorbing the properties of the soul grass. Despite feeling such tremendous pain, but still Zhang Ziyi forced it, until in the end the sacrifice of taste was paid.

"Heah... Finally finished too!" Zhang Ziyi heaved a sigh of relief. Now he began to feel his soul power increasing.

For the strength of his own soul generally someone who was a cultivator had it. But it has a different level. Just like the current Zhang Ziyi, that young man possessed such great soul power. Even very few cultivators were able to match the child's soul strength.

Armed with the knowledge he had just obtained, Zhang Ziyi started looking for ingredients around there to make a pill. It didn't take long for the boy to gather all those ingredients.

"The 500-year-old, Blood Ginseng, Fire rose, .....!" Zhang Ziyi started counting one by one the ingredients he had taken earlier. Make sure that nothing is lacking.

After feeling that everything had been gathered, Zhang Ziyi started to light a fire on the furnace.

Whushes

The blazing flames spread out for a moment, before re-assembling within the furnace, even so, the blazing flames moved so fiercely. The flame on the furnace itself is white with a temperature that is so unusual. The heat can be dozens of times that of a regular fire.

Zhang Ziyi was trying to control the white flame that was moving ferociously with his soul force. Difficult. That was what Zhang Ziyi felt. It takes complete concentration in controlling that flame. A slight mistake can cause the flame to spread. So, do not rule out the possibility of burning all the objects in that place.

It took Zhang Ziyi time to control the Flame. Once it felt safe, Zhang Ziyi refined the sweat on his temple using the back of his hand. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

He then began to put one by one the ingredients into the furnace. Waiting until some time, Zhang Ziyi then carried out the refining process. After that, compaction. Smoke carrying the smell of medicine began to come out from between the furnace lid.

Zhang Ziyi was starting to impatiently see the results. Although he had to sacrifice a great deal of energy, in making this high-tier pill. But Zhang Ziyi felt no problem when he inhaled the aroma of medicine carried by the smoke that came out from between the lid of the furnace.

It took about three hours for Zhang Ziyi to complete the pill refining process. Zhang Ziyi opened the furnace lid. The aroma of medicine that was so concentrated instantly welcomed his sense of smell.

Zhang Ziyi himself felt his body slightly energized as he smelled the scent.

Seen seven pills in the furnace. Three of them are low-grade pills. All three are high level. The other one was an Earth level pill.

Smiling happily Zhang Ziyi saw the result of his hard work. Although he was a little disappointed because three of them were low-level pills.

Nevertheless, Zhang Ziyi's achievements were already extremely great. It was so rare to find an Alchemist master capable of refining Earth-level Pills in this low realm. Even the number can be counted with the fingers.

Especially for a novice like this Zhang Ziyi. The first time I refined pills.

After finishing the pill refining process and seeing the results, Zhang Ziyi began to believe in the truth of the Fire God Spirit. Though doubts still lurked in him.

Choose to rest for a moment. Zhang Ziyi stored an Earth-level pill and two high-level Pills. While the rest, Zhang Ziyi swallowed, to recover his barely remaining Qi– energy while making the pill.

Finished by recovering. Zhang Ziyi then got up. Approaching the furnace. He noticed that thing. There was a special pattern with ancient inscriptions on his body.

"How do I bring this thing?" That question had suddenly appeared in Zhang Ziyi's mind.

"It's too unfortunate if I leave it in this place! This stuff is too valuable."

Thinking for a moment, the young man then turned around and started circling around the surroundings. Pay attention to the various types of herbal plants that grow so fertile in that place. The age of each herb itself has mostly reached thousands of years.

For now, Zhang Ziyi had not been able to refine herbs with an age above 500. The strength of the young man was still too weak. For an Earth level pill that he had successfully distilled earlier alone had standard quality. He needed to increase his cultivation and refined pills frequently, in order to improve the quality of the pills he Ramu had.

Zhang Ziyi walked back through the room. Because Zhang Ziyi was too excited about the pill furnace, to the point that he did not have time to inspect the place more widely.

The things in this place are too precious. It's a shame that he left it in this place. Where knows, there are people who find this cave other than himself and take everything in it. Zhang Ziyi will be at a loss. For that, he needed an object that the man could use to hold all the precious items that were in this room

Angle after corner, he had checked, yet Zhang Ziyi did not find any other precious objects. The whole room is filled only with herbs. Until the room in this cave looks like a forest.

Not giving up. Zhang Ziyi kept stepping. Looking for an object he could use to store the pill furnace.

After a while he searched, but Zhang Ziyi never found the thing he was looking for. The young man began to give up. He decided to return to the corner of the room where he left the pill furnace.
