Chapter 1376 - The Divine Replenishment Furnace
The furnace’s greatest wondrous application was extracting the power and spirituality from everything it encountered. It could draw out the essence of all manner of divine materials and medicines.
Furthermore, it could refine divine treasures and weapons, and it could even display terrifying strength in battle. The furnace could effortlessly refine still-living enemies until nothing remained of them but ash!
It was fair to say that there was nothing it couldn’t refine!
Unfortunately, Su Yi couldn\'t tell where this furnace came from. Its source power was severely damaged, and although it still had an abundance of spirituality, this still wasn’t its completed state.
“Next time I see Daoist Master Red Cloud, I can perhaps ask if she knows the Divine Replenishment Furnace’s origins,” whispered Su Yi.
In the Age of Fallen Immortals, Daoist Master Red Cloud and many of her clansmen left just before disaster struck and sought refuge in the Human Realm.
In other words, Daoist Master Red Cloud and the Divine Replenishment Furnace both originated from the Age of Fallen Immortals.
Su Yi then set those thoughts aside and took out some World King-level divine medicines. He’d decided to test the furnace’s wondrous applications.
This was a wondrous and unfathomable immortal treasure. Could it perhaps produce rare and precious pills of unparalleled quality?
The Divine Replenishment Furnace looked small, only about the size of a fist, but its interior contained its own separate world.
When Su Yi tossed over a hundred types of World King-level medicinal ingredients into the furnace, the purple immortal light within rumbled and boomed. Countless strange and inscrutable markings of the Immortal Dao surged forth.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred divine materials melted.
A dense medicinal fragrance wafted into the air.
Su Yi’s spirits soared as he saw nine pills floating within the furnace. All were crystalline, translucent, and flowing with colorful light.
Whoosh!
The purple immortal light within the furnace manifested a finger, which tapped four of the pills.
All four promptly disappeared. The remaining five whooshed out of the Divine Replenishment Furnace and floated in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi looked a bit stunned. The Divine Replenishment Furnace obviously lacks a treasure spirit, but it’s aware enough to demand a ‘salary!’
But Su Yi didn’t mind giving the furnace a share. He knew full well that long ago, during the Age of Fallen Immortals, the furnace’s source power had been badly damaged. It was using its “fee” to repair itself.
And its high degree of awareness and spirituality only made Su Yi even more pleased with it.
He was just paying the furnace its dues, that was all. In exchange, he got a whole batch of pills. It was worth it!
Su Yi took one of the pills and examined it closely. A moment later, he looked impressed.
The quality of this pill was extraordinary, the type that typically could only be happened upon by chance!
He’d taken out over a hundred types of World King-level medicinal ingredients. Not even the greatest pill refiners of the present day could have created a pill of such quality!
Much less nine of them!
Su Yi estimated that if sold, even one such pill would fetch more than the hundred-plus World King-level materials that had gone into it.
But it was the Divine Replenishment Furnace’s speed that was the most exaggerated. In the blink of an eye, it didn’t just successfully refine a batch of pills. No, it even produced pills of extraordinary quality, without any flaws!
Its methods practically seized good fortune from the heavens. They were enough to make any pill refiner of the modern era lower his head in shame!
“What a treasure!” Su Yi exclaimed, straight from the heart.
He put the pills away, then took out a bunch of Transcendent-level medicinal ingredients. There were several different types, and he flung them all into the furnace.
Boom!
The Divine Replenishment Furnace rumbled and boomed. Purple immortal light surged from its opening, and talisman markings flashed, as if it were delighted.
It seems this treasure knows how extraordinary these Transcendent divine medicines are, and it’s quite pleased with them... thought Su Yi.
Su Yi watched as, a little less than ten minutes later, firelight interwove within the Divine Replenishment Furnace. Every pill shone like the light of a new dawn, reflecting a misty rain of light. All manner of strange phenomena arose. This was far beyond any World King-level pill.
The medicinal fragrance alone soothed Su Yi’s heart. His entire body fillled with vital energy, and his spirits soared.
This time, the misty purple light within the furnace formed a finger once more and pointed to four of the pills.
But a moment later, it hesitated. In the end, it only took three. The remaining six shot out of the furnace and floated in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi’s expression was strange. Did it leave me that pill as a reward?
A scene rose unbidden to his mind. In it, the Divine Replenishment Furnace was a wealthy diner, and he was a waiter. The furnace sampled its dish, then tossed him the pill and said, “Here’s your tip!”
Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of it. He shook his head and examined a pill.
A moment later, he gasped.
It was just one pill, but its medicinal power was comparable to that of the entire batch of Transcendent-level medicines. Even rarer, it was perfectly pure, without the slightest flaw!
Su Yi couldn’t help but be astonished as he realized on a visceral level just how heaven-defying this immortal treasure was.
It was like a dairy cow. He had to keep it supplied with grass, but in exchange, it gave him milk!
This was what they meant when they spoke of turning treasure into trash!
Alas, I don’t have any immortal medicinal herbs on hand. If I did, I could refine a truly first-rate batch of immortal pills... Su Yi sighed to himself, then continued refining medicine without any further delays.
He was currently incomparably wealthy. He alone had enough wealth to make even the world’s top factions ashamed of their own inadequacy.
During the battle of the Violet Heavens Platform, he slew over a hundred Transcendents, gathering an astronomical fortune in spoils.
And in the battle at Goldendawn Divine Mountain, he cleared out the treasure of the Yun Family, one of the hegemons of the stars. In doing so, he acquired a full sixteen storage treasures full of precious goods.
That aside, of late, he’d experienced numerous other battles big and small. When he added his trophies together, it was no exaggeration to say that Su Yi’s wealth was unimaginable!
On top of all that, the Bookkeeper of Four Seas Tower had just delivered another batch of precious Transcendent medicines...
They said that horses couldn’t get fat without extra rations, and men couldn’t get rich without extra income.
Not long ago, Su Yi had worried about acquiring sufficient cultivation resources on numerous occasions. Then, he had to worry about how best to take advantage of his superabundance of wealth. But with the Divine Replenishment Furnace, all of that ceased to be an issue!
......
After stepping into the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm, World King-level cultivation resources were completely useless to him.
His foundations were far too firm, terrifyingly so. Even the Divine Replenishment Furnace’s extraordinary World King-level pills wouldn’t do Su Yi much good.
But Su Yi wouldn’t let them go to waste.
He planned to use the furnace to refine World King-level medicines to give to his friends and allies: Ol’ Wei, Little Wei, Illuminating Emptiness, Meng Changyun, and many others.
And this would take him no effort at all. The Divine Replenishment Furnace claimed its “fee” too, so it benefited as well. This was a true win-win for everyone involved.
As for Su Yi himself? He only needed the Transcendent-level materials!
Alas, despite his ridiculous fortune, ninety percent of it was at the World King level. Only the remaining ten percent consisted of Transcendent medicines and treasures.
Even so, that ten percent was vast enough to make even ancient orthodoxies red-eyed with greed. There was just so much of it!
......
In the time that followed, the Divine Replenishment Furnace rumbled repeatedly. Misty light interwove, and at regular intervals, new batches of pills entered the world. Dense medicinal fragrance rose into the air, churning like dense mist.
It never failed, not even once!
And every batch of pills was rare and top quality!
Su Yi felt great, and as the furnace repeatedly claimed its “wages,” it too seemed delighted.
......
Three days later.
“Bro.” Illuminating Emptiness stood outside Su Yi’s room.
“Come in.” Su Yi’s voice rang out.
The moment Illuminating Emptiness pushed open the door, he was unwittingly stunned. A dense medicinal aroma assailed him right in the face, making every last pore open. His entire body felt light and airy.
“Have you been refining pills?” exclaimed the monk. He saw Su Yi seated cross-legged, bottled pills piled high in front of him.
Su Yi waved his sleeves, and the bottles disappeared into a storage treasure. He then rose and said, “Do you have business with me?”
“The ol’ Bookkeeper sent another batch of Transcendent medicines,” said Illuminating Emptiness. He then delivered a storage treasure.
Su Yi accepted it, then handed the monk some of the pills he’d just refined. “Give some to Ol’ Wei and Wei Shan. Keep a portion for yourself, too.”
Illuminating Emptiness visibly lit up with delight and hurriedly accepted the medicine bottles.
Suddenly, Sword Immortal Qingshi walked over, his expression a bit hesitant as he said in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist Su, I know it’s unreasonable, but there’s something I’d like to ask of you.”
Su Yi was stunned. “Go ahead and ask directly.”
Sword Immortal Qingshi sighed, then said bitterly, “Two days ago, some of my old friends came looking for me. They hoped I could put a good word in for them and ask you to help them break their curses...”
Before he could finish, Su Yi smiled. “A trivial matter, that’s all. Leave it to me.”
If these people could convince Sword Immortal Qingshi to request aid on their behalf, they couldn’t possibly be ordinary.
Even someone of Sword Immortal Qingshi’s status couldn’t refuse their request. That made it obvious how close his bond with these old friends was.
Given the circumstances, Su Yi naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Sword Immortal Qingshi was stunned. He was initially a bit embarrassed and worried that his request would provoke Su Yi’s displeasure. Who’d have thought Su Yi would straightforwardly agree before he could even finish asking for help?
Sword Immortal Qingshi’s spirits soared, and he said with gratitude, “Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. My friends won’t let you leave empty-handed!”
Su Yi smiled, but thought nothing of it. “For me, breaking their curse is no more difficult than raising my hand. If they really want to thank someone, they ought to thank you, Fellow Daoist.”
Sword Immortal Qingshi felt all warm and fuzzy inside. Su Yi was doing him a favor and giving him face at once. His breadth of spirit and way with words were both extraordinary!
Su Yi thought for a moment, then said, “How about this? Fellow Daoist, might I trouble you to spread a message for me? Any faction that agrees to help me seek out the Tailor can send their revenants at or below the Dao Integration Realm to Mount Clearmoon a month from now, and I’ll help them break their curses.”
Sword Immortal Qingshi was stunned. “What are you trying to do, Fellow Daoist?”
“They’ve effectively expressed their good intentions toward me,” said Su Yi. “I ought to respond in kind.”
Sword Immortal Qingshi thought for a moment, then understood. He sighed with admiration. “Truly well played! If you help those ancient orthodoxies, how could they turn around and view you with enmity without embarrassing themselves?
“Furthermore, you’re unquestionably wise to limit this offer to those at or below the Dao Integration Realm. After all, experts of this level cannot possibly threaten you, curse or no curse.”
Su Yi laughed. “I wasn’t thinking about all that. I’m just trying to trade a peach for a plum and encourage them to help me seek out the Tailor.”
“Very well. Leave this to me,” Sword Immortal straightforwardly agreed. “I’ll have my friends come to Mount Clearmoon a month from now too.”
He set off that very day. Su Yi, meanwhile, went into seclusion.
He’d taken a batch of the Divine Replenishment Furnace’s pills over the past three days, and he was already itching to have a proper cultivation session.
It wasn’t long before Sword Immortal Qingshi spread word of Su Yi’s decision to the outside world.
Throughout the stars, the ancient orthodoxies were instantly in uproar.
