To Antidongchen and the audience, Senior Alchemist was far ahead of Shen Xiang by many folds. Although later on, Shen Xiang managed to produce Spirit Power Pills, he was still miles behind Senior Alchemist as the latter wouldn't be swayed by mind-disturbing forces, while Shen Xiang appeared like a fool.

Even now, Shen Xiang would occasionally wave his hands and try to shake off the decayed corpses that were stuck on him. This was just an illusion though, as anyone else would see empty spaces around Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang couldn't yet enter that extreme state of alchemy. He managed to produce Spirit Power Pills, but during the process, he was still affected by interruptions, relying solely on his strong will to endure. If he were under such conditions while attempting to refine Nine Aperture Refining Body Pills, failure would mean no chance of success.

"It seems this reservoir of Sustained Flame inside the Sustained Flame珠 was intentionally arranged by Senior Alchemist. If there wasn't enough fire, refining Nine Aperture Refining Body Pills would also fail," said Su Meiyao. Shen Xiang was currently facing a situation that had never been seen before.

"Refine Nine Aperture Refining Body Pills!" Shen Xiang frowned and disgustingly inspected the approaching decayed corpses around him. He suddenly shuddered, pushing all of them away and feeling somewhat better.

However, just then, a deep and chilling roar suddenly resounded. The ground trembled as an enormous creature in full decay sprang out of it, charging straight at Shen Xiang.

Although this was an illusion, Shen Xiang knew it too. He didn't plan to evade, but his heart was stirred by an unusual sensation as the creature rushed towards him and swallowed Shen Xiang whole.

Each time, the illusion felt like another world. Shen Xiang died in that world just now and arrived at a more hostile place, a place covered in sticky red blood. In the distance, one could see an ocean of blood with nauseating stench and a chilling wind blowing through the air. Shen Xiang felt very cold.

Although there were no disgusting decayed corpses here, this place was filled with all kinds of moans and cries everywhere. The hateful voices seemed to be screams from demons in hell undergoing torture.

Suddenly, Shen Xiang felt that this place was like hell. If he died again in this illusion, he would go even more terrifying places.

The deeper he went, the more real everything seemed to him. That terrifying roar filled with endless resentment made his heart ache and head throb, making it hard for him to concentrate on refining pills.

In this condition, not only was it hard for him to refine pills, but even handling herbs became difficult as the loud noise made him agitated.

Various ghostly howls seemed to resound in Shen Xiang's mind, sometimes with extremely shrill screams. No matter how hard Shen Xiang tried to cover his ears or block the sound out, he could still hear it clearly. The voice didn't come from outside but came from within his mind; he was deceived by that mysterious force, making him hear nonexistent sounds.

"I must overcome this!" Determined, Shen Xiang clenched his fists and closed his eyes, trying to ignore the noise until he slowly relaxed his mind and stopped thinking.

Time passed as Shen Xiang's tightly furrowed眉 slowly relaxed. Now, he felt much better and when he opened his eyes again, everything around him was empty like the void between heaven and earth. Only Shen Xiang himself and the pill furnace were present, this was his own world, an inviolable spiritual plane where no one could disturb him. In this moment, he felt a sense of unparalleled comfort coming from his mind.

Shen Xiang finally entered this spiritual plane that belonged to him, disconnecting completely from the outside world. The three women inside Scarlet Fairy Palace couldn't communicate with him anymore.

Senior Alchemist had already completed Nine Aperture Refining Body Pills, which were two top-quality pills. She was very satisfied with her achievement and immediately controlled the flying disk to fly over, pulling Senior Alchemist onto Fairy Jade Face Disk.

"This kid hasn't started refining yet" Senior Alchemist was puzzled. She had high expectations for Shen Xiang and brought him here so that he could acquire abilities beyond the reach of other alchemists, such as entering his own spiritual plane.

"He just finished refining Spirit Power Pills and that's why," Antidongchen said, "Sister Xie, Young Uncle is worse than you. Looks like you're guaranteed victory this time and don't need to marry him."

Eastern Xiangyue was surprised. Senior Alchemist had such high skills in alchemy, almost like a Dan King herself, she actually made an agreement with Shen Xiang.

Senior Alchemist saw the calmness on Shen Xiang's face and sighed silently. She knew that he had overcome difficulties, as it took her a long time to reach this level and saw Shen Xiang's potential as exceptionally terrifying, ready to burst out with just a little stimulation.

"Not necessarily!" Senior Alchemist said gravely.

Antidongchen was taken aback and suddenly started worrying: "Sister, if you become his woman, wouldn't your seniority exceed mine"

"Humph!" Senior Alchemist let out a cold snort, causing Antidongchen to quickly shut up.

Shen Xiang took out the ingredients of Nine Aperture Refining Body Pills and started handling them with great caution. He was now fully focused on refining the pills, not thinking about his competition with Senior Alchemist anymore. The sky could fall down and it wouldn't affect him now.

"There's not enough fire!" Holding the Sustained Flame珠, Shen Xiang could accurately determine it. However, he didn't worry at all.

Senior Alchemist saw the glow of the Sustained Flame珠 in Shen Xiang's hand and understood it too. Shen Xiang had slowed down his refining due to interruptions, using fire bit by bit to burn and causing the flame's depletion. Once, he even failed to refine due to a blast.

However, Senior Alchemist noticed that Shen Xiang didn't seem anxious at all. That meant he had a way to solve the problem, which made her very surprised. She usually used Sustained Flame珠 for alchemy and had faced situations where there wasn't enough fire before, but she never managed to resolve them.

"His fire isn't enough, what will he do" Senior Alchemist muttered to herself.

Suddenly, Shen Xiang struck his palm against the pill furnace, shattering it instantly. Everyone's eyes widened as they saw Shen Xiang destroy the pill furnace!

Especially Eastern Xiangyue, she immediately exclaimed, "He's admitting defeat Without the pill furnace, how will he refine"

However, Shen Xiang was familiar to the people like Liu Meng'er. They knew that Shen Xiang had a magical illusory pill furnace, but they couldn't understand why he would destroy the good-quality pill furnace. translucent wings released by Lanlan.“We joined very early.
