Chapter 1184: Divine Materials

"Naturally, it's the Immortal Medicine!" Ye Fan said.

In the sea of consciousness of a marquis in the Eternal Starfield, it was recorded that Immortal Medicine was the rarest of all great medicines. A complete plant, combined with other divine minerals, could be refined into a Ninth-Stage Grand Perfection Evolution Fluid. Unfortunately, since ancient times, not to mention finding an Immortal Medicine, even Seventh-Stage or Eighth-Stage primary divine minerals were hard to come by. The most sensational news on the Eternal Main Star in fifty thousand years was merely someone extracting a Sixth-Stage Evolution Fluid.

"You're not planning to throw the Qilin Immortal Medicine seeds in for refining, are you?" The large black dog's expression changed, and it vehemently objected.

They returned to Heaven's Village because these agents were too precious to discuss openly at God Silkworm Ridge, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Absolutely not!"

Immortal Medicines were too rare. Any Immortal Medicine seen on the Big Dipper Ancient Star was incredibly rare, a testament to ancient Great Emperors bringing them from other starfields. Otherwise, such a sight would be impossible across eons. Using Immortal Medicine seeds to refine Evolution Fluid would be counterproductive, as they lacked other primary divine ingredients, making it impossible to obtain a Ninth-Stage perfected elixir. Moreover, even if it could be refined, one would have to consider if it was worth it. It was known that ancient Great Emperors each possessed one, yet there were no records of them needing to refine it into a medicine.

On the Eternal Main Star, if ancient gods obtained Immortal Medicine, they wouldn't extract Evolution Fluid, but rather refine it into a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill! This went beyond the scope of an elixir, and its effects are unknown today; nor could the ancient methods be fully replicated. Currently, although some major forces use alchemy methods to refine Evolution Fluid, not all steps are the same as ancient times. Those were secret formulas of ancient gods, difficult for modern people to fully master.

"We don't have a complete Immortal Medicine. But a few drops of True Dragon Immortal Medicine liquid and Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine liquid can be added," Ye Fan said. Back then, he barely survived the ordeal near the Ruthless Emperor's coffin in the Myriad Dragon Nest and obtained some True Dragon medicine liquid drops, which he shared with everyone present. Now was the perfect time to use them. The Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine was rooted in Purple Mountain. When he was about to embark on the ancient starry road to return to Earth, Black Emperor found a few drops for him to preserve his life.

This kind of thing was too precious. It was impossible to squander it all for refining medicine, but Ye Fan believed that just a few drops might suffice. Ye Fan said, "Just a few drops, don't use them all. After all, this kind of thing is uniquely possessed by ancient Great Emperors. In the future, every drop could save our lives!"

"Only two drops of each... that's too little, probably won't have any effect!" Slaying Saint Qiluo shook his head, also participating in the discussion.

"No worries, I brought back a semi-divine medicine from the other side of the starry sky." Ye Fan took out a small white jade cauldron. When opened, a fragrant aroma filled the air. It was the medicinal liquid given to him by the Changbai Mountain Ancestral Ginseng. He had used some, but nearly twenty drops remained.

"This... this is a heaven-defying item." Everyone marveled, but also felt a pang of heartache. It was equally a life-saving treasure, and once used, it would be gone forever.

"Let's put nine drops of this in. The rest will stay in Heaven's Village. If anyone faces disaster in the future, this might be a lifeline," Ye Fan said. For such a heaven-defying treasure, he didn't want to use it all for refining elixir. Some must be kept for future needs.

Although the added Immortal Medicine liquid was small in quantity, it was extremely precious. They estimated it was equivalent to a primary ingredient, capable of extracting Fourth-Stage Evolution Fluid.

"We have the primary ingredients, but we lack auxiliary divine materials," Yan Yixi frowned. It was understood that too many divine materials were needed to refine Evolution Fluid. Several primary ingredients were essential, and a large amount of other auxiliary minerals were also required.

"There should be many auxiliary materials on the Stone of Heavenly Fate. We can continue to use them. For the others, we'll find a way, buying them all over the world," Ye Fan said. Back then, the purple-eyed siblings refined divine liquid near Undying Mountain. Later, when they left, they acted violently but were subdued by Ye Fan, who took the entire pool of precious liquid. In the pool built from the Stone of Heavenly Fate, the liquid had long dried up, but the divine minerals were still there, and some could still be used.

"The materials they collected were very few, only enough for initial-stage liquid. We'll have to search the whole world," the Holy Prince frowned.

"If the primary divine ingredients are sufficient, even if auxiliary materials are few or incomplete, it won't be a problem!" Ye Fan said. He took out the liquid he obtained from the Immortal Pond on Earth, preparing to use a portion of it to extract Evolution Fluid. If Fourth-Stage evolution succeeded, it would be enough to elevate Ye Fan to a higher level. However, reaching the Saint realm would prove very difficult, likely requiring Fifth-Stage Evolution Fluid. But as long as he could advance one more step, he would be capable of battling ancient Saints! He was already close to possessing that capability; he only needed to advance one more step!

Ji Zi and the Holy Prince were also in the same predicament; their physiques, like Ye Fan's, were too formidable, meaning they were destined not to become Saints using Fourth-Stage Evolution Fluid. For Yan Yixi, Li Heishui, and others, however, it was good news. If Fourth-Stage Evolution Fluid could be successfully refined, they might eventually achieve Sainthood by gradually consolidating their cultivation with it. Their physiques were not bottomless pits like Ye Fan's and the Holy Prince's.

"Right, since auxiliary divine materials are insufficient, let's just use more primary ingredients!" Slaying Saint said. The Primordial Life Stone was as big as a washbasin; no matter how much they used, it would never run out. The Stone of Heavenly Fate was also substantial, large enough to form a pool.

"Our blood can also be added!" Ji Zi said. As the son of an ancient Great Emperor, he inherited the precious blood of the Void Great Dao, which was most valuable. If extracted, it would definitely be a great medicine among mortals!

"Good!" The Holy Prince agreed. "This time, we must succeed. Failure is not an option, given how much we have prepared and sacrificed." Ye Fan also nodded. He was the Sacred Human Body, called the Indestructible Golden Body on the Eternal Main Star. His blood was priceless, and he immediately began to refine its essence.

Not long after, an inviting clear fragrance wafted. In Ye Fan's room, within the jade vessel, light shimmered, auspicious energy swirled, and the golden blood glowed astonishingly. This was the essence of blood he extracted from his body. Golden liquid drops rolled down from his wrist, and the fragrance instantly filled the entire courtyard. When he went out, Little Baldy Huahua was the first to run up, gulping saliva and staring eagerly at the jade vessel.

Black Emperor said, "He's not even a Saint yet, and his blood has already turned into treasure liquid. If he reaches Great Perfection in the future, tsk tsk tsk, the thought makes my mouth water!" Similarly, rich fragrance came from the other two courtyards. Ji Zi and the Holy Prince had also extracted their blood essence, emanating various anomalies, their life energies inherited respectively from ancient Great Emperors and Archaic Sovereigns.

"If the refinement succeeded, they would fear no Saints!" People were naturally excited.

Next, everyone was busy, splitting up, entering major auction houses, going into ancient apothecaries, and beginning to search for auxiliary divine materials, paying astronomical prices to acquire them. This formed a storm. In a short period, prices of various rare and unusual materials began to soar, doubling and tripling.

In Heaven's Village, all members of the Heavenly Court were dispatched, sparing no expense, traveling east and west, traversing the Central Plains, entering the Western Wilderness, and venturing far into the Southern Mountain Range. For everyone, there was good news every day, because people in the Big Dipper Starfield had never refined Evolution Fluid before, so many minerals were still abundant and had not gone extinct. However, it was frustrating that some things could not be found at all. They simply didn't exist on this ancient star. After all, when people from the Eternal Nation wanted to refine treasure liquid, they always ventured deep into space, mining on many dead stars, not limited to one place.

Finally, the large black dog, shouting, led some youths from Heaven's Village, piloting the mothership towards the starry sky, astonishing many people. "Damn it, what are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a valiant cosmic hero?" But a big dog piloting a spaceship was indeed somewhat unconventional. They did not intend to travel far, only searching in nearby starfields, also to conduct trial runs and master various essentials. In the following month, Black Emperor truly led people to find some divine minerals, excavating them on various ancient stars, with great gains. However, after one encounter with an ancient Saint beyond the domain, they no longer dared to take risks, as they had nearly perished.

"The path to immortality is about to open, and ancient Saints are arriving in the Big Dipper Starfield from time to time. Venturing beyond the heavens without permission could lead to great disaster!" Finally, they could only place their hopes on this ancient life-sustaining star, hoping to find enough minerals.

"Actually, 60-70% of the auxiliary divine materials have been collected. Maybe we can refine it now!" Dongfang Ye said.

"No!" The Holy Prince shook his head. If they were to do it, they had to succeed. Otherwise, if it failed, so many precious divine materials would be wasted.

"Something's not right. Now, major auction houses, famous ancient apothecaries, and mining areas are being swept clean by people even more frantic than us." Li Heishui brought bad news: competitors had appeared. Now, people were rushing to compete with them, specifically acquiring all kinds of divine minerals. The only fortunate thing was that they acted early, gaining the initiative, and had already bought up most of the most valuable items.

"Who are they?" Old Blade's eyes gleamed with fierce light.

"They're difficult to provoke. There are royal clans from Fire Qilin Cave, and Saints from Blood Phoenix Mountain, personally issuing orders to collect all kinds of minerals," Li Heishui said.

"They finally made their move," Ye Fan nodded. Several royal clans and some Archaic Royal Clans had captured some prisoners. These days, while busy making a series of arrangements and boasting about attacking the Eternal Main Star, they were also digesting the information gained from the prisoners. In the past two days, spaceships had been seen launching into space, clearly their trial runs! Moreover, a few powerful figures from the Eternal Main Star had survived and fallen into the hands of royal clans like Fire Qilin Cave and Blood Phoenix Mountain. The Evolution Fluid, such a heaven-defying prescription, would definitely be extracted from them.

"We seized the initiative, so their gains won't be very large," Black Emperor said. Indeed, this was the case. The people responsible for acquiring minerals for Fire Qilin Cave and Blood Phoenix Mountain were frustrated. Various rare and unusual materials, once heard of, were now hard to find.

"Hmm, continue acquiring. Once Fourth-Stage Evolution Fluid is refined, we can fight Saints!" Ye Fan said.

On this day, Slaying Saint Qiluo returned covered in wounds, bloody, with half his body almost rotten. Everyone was startled and rushed to support him.

"You've been injured several times in the past few years. What exactly happened?" Black Emperor asked, noting it wasn't the first time.

"I've been keeping an eye on Hell and the Human World, and they've long detected my presence. This time I was ambushed, but the gain was also huge: I obtained some divine materials." He placed a pile of shimmering items on the ground, immediately attracting everyone's attention. They were all very special minerals, essential auxiliary materials, which he had surprisingly collected.
