Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han had been in seclusion at Firelight Divine Mountain for a month, and his physical body had improved quite a bit.

The reason for the significant improvement was not only due to Firelight Divine Mountain but also because Tianyin Pavilion had sent another 100,000 drops of fourth-order immortal beast essence blood.

After receiving the news, Jiang Han immediately went down the mountain and returned to Fireplume City for three days, refining all the essence blood before returning to Firelight Divine Mountain.

Today, his immortal talisman lit up, and Yu Xi sent him a message saying that Lord Cang had bought back a batch of materials, asking him to return and refine a batch of Sky Aperture Pills first.

Lord Cang was very anxious, wishing Jiang Han could refine all the pills within a few days so that Fireplume Fairy could cultivate the Starry Sacred Body and completely cure her strange illness.

Jiang Han went down the mountain, and Fireplume Fairy also got up and flew towards Fireplume City.

Jiang Han had cultivated here for a month, and she had also been in seclusion here for a month. She was almost always in seclusion here when her body became ethereal, but many people didn't know it.

Jiang Han returned to Fireplume City, and Lord Cang was already waiting in his courtyard, along with Yu Xi and Wang Nan.

Lord Cang took out a ring, placed it on the table, and said, "Divine Pill Marquis, there are a thousand portions of materials here. The Immortal and I have no requirements for the pill production rate. Even if all the materials are refined and not a single pill is produced, we won't blame you."

Lord Cang spoke generously, but she came to deliver the medicinal materials in person, naturally hoping that Jiang Han could do his best and refine more Sky Aperture Pills.

Jiang Han took the ring and nodded, "Lord Cang, rest assured, I will go all out."

"Good!"

Lord Cang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Wang Nan will be on standby here. Feel free to make any requests. As long as we can satisfy them, we will not hesitate."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han exchanged a few polite words, and Lord Cang left.

Jiang Han didn't rush to refine pills but handed Yu Xi a list of materials and said, "Please help me purchase a batch of materials from Tianyin Pavilion, just buy ten thousand portions. I'll settle the immortal stones with you later."

Yu Xi took the list, and Wang Nan next to her glanced at it and said, "Divine Pill Marquis, let us buy these materials. I see they are all common raw materials, and the price isn't expensive. We'll prepare 100,000 portions for you, is that enough?"

"100,000 portions…"

Jiang Han secretly marveled at the wealth of Fireplume Star. He didn't stand on ceremony and nodded, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you."

The list Jiang Han gave was for refining Seahorse Pills. This time, Lord Cang brought a thousand portions of materials, making it easy for Jiang Han to refine.

However, he couldn't refine them in a short period; otherwise, it would be too shocking.

So, he decided to refine one pill a day, refining a total of over a hundred pills.

That would take several months. He couldn't just stay inside and do nothing for such a long time, so he wanted to refine Seahorse Pills to strengthen his physical body when he had nothing to do.

Wang Nan went down to make arrangements. Seahorse Pills were low-level pills, and many of the materials were available on Fireplume Star. It only took two or three days for the materials for 100,000 portions of Seahorse Pills to be delivered.

Jiang Han entered the room and began his seclusion. A day later, a phenomenon appeared in the sky above Fireplume Star. The first Sky Aperture Pill was produced.

After waiting for more than a day, the second Sky Aperture Pill was produced. After waiting for more than a day, the third Sky Aperture Pill was completed…

Countless people outside waited nervously, but Jiang Han was very bored inside, spending most of his time refining Seahorse Pills.

Every other day, he would throw a portion of Sky Aperture Pill materials in and refine a Sky Aperture Pill.

He gradually began to shorten the time. For example, the first pill took a day and a half, the second took half an hour less, and the third took an hour less, constantly shortening the time. This seemed very reasonable—the more pills he refined, the more skilled he became, and the more stable the pill production rate became.

In fact!

What Jiang Han didn't know was that his pill production rate of one Sky Aperture Pill every day or so had frightened Pill Marquis Tian and He Jin.

Eighth-grade pills are different from low-level pills. The pill production rate is extremely unstable, let alone the near ninth-grade Sky Aperture Pill.

This kind of pill depends on luck, and luck accounts for a large part.

For example, for eighth-grade pills, they could refine five or six pills a day when they were lucky, but they might not be able to refine a single pill in ten days or half a month when they were unlucky.

Jiang Han's one pill every day or so was incredibly stable, and the time was constantly shortening.

Was he refining pills or laying eggs?

On Pill Marquis Tian and He Jin's side, Lord Cang gave each of them another hundred portions of Sky Aperture Pill materials. Lord Cang wanted to see if the pills refined by the two were the same as those refined by Jiang Han? Or were Jiang Han's pills more potent?

Five days had passed, and Pill Marquis Tian and He Jin had consumed more than a dozen portions of materials, but they hadn't refined a single Sky Aperture Pill.

On the other hand, Jiang Han caused a phenomenon to appear in the sky every other day, which made the two of them so depressed that they almost vomited blood.

Both of them were top alchemists. Pill Marquis Tian had been famous for many years and had been refining pills for hundreds of years, yet he couldn't compare to a young brat who had been in the Upper Realm for less than two years?

The fifth pill, the sixth pill, the seventh pill, the eighth pill…

Jiang Han produced them like beans, very regularly, refining one every day or so.

The key was that every time he refined one, a phenomenon would appear in the sky. The subordinates of Fireplume City were amazed and excited at first, but now they were used to it, treating it as a fireworks display every day…

More than ten days passed!

Pill Marquis Tian and He Jin still couldn't refine a single pill. They were so depressed that their chests felt stuffy. They had lost a lot of face.

Six more days passed, and Pill Marquis Tian finally refined a Sky Aperture Pill.

At the moment of pill formation, he immediately opened the divine array of the alchemy room, wanting to see if there was a phenomenon in the sky.

"Damn…"

Looking at the clear blue sky, Pill Marquis Tian was dumbfounded. He flashed out and stared at the sky with wide eyes.

After waiting for a while, he confirmed that there was no phenomenon. He looked at the golden pill in his hand in confusion. Could it be that he had refined a fake pill?

He sensed it and confirmed that the pill's medicinal power was strong and that it contained the charm of a spiritual dragon. He thought for a moment and flashed to He Jin's courtyard.

He Jin was refining pills, and his disciples were guarding outside. Pill Marquis Tian asked the disciples to call He Jin out.

"What's wrong?"

He Jin came out, somewhat impatiently. He was refining pills and hated being disturbed the most.

Pill Marquis Tian took out a jade box and said, "I refined a Sky Aperture Pill, but there was no celestial phenomenon. Take a look and see if there's something wrong with this pill…"

He Jin raised an eyebrow, took the pill, and sensed it. After a moment, he said, "I don't feel like there's anything wrong with this pill, but… it seems to be weaker than Jiang Han's. Strange, why isn't there a celestial phenomenon?"

The two huddled together and studied it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out a result.

The two returned to their respective places and continued to refine pills. The two didn't believe it and were determined to refine a real Sky Aperture Pill.

Two days later, He Jin successfully refined a Sky Aperture Pill. He also rushed out immediately and stared at the sky with wide eyes.

Then, he was dumbfounded!

At this moment, it was noon, and the scorching sun shone brightly, reflecting the dazzling white light on his yellow face, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"It's weird!"

He Jin blinked. Could it be that he had also refined a fake pill?

Or was it that the medicinal power of Jiang Han's Sky Aperture Pill was stronger than theirs, approaching the ninth grade, which caused the celestial phenomenon? Otherwise, there was no way to explain it.
