Chapter 55 The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Refining the Great Luo Golden Elixir
Niu Ben was also gazing at the twelve precious pearls floating in mid-air.
Ao Run and the others didn't know what the Twelve Precious Pearls were, but Niu Ben recognized them at a glance, a flash of understanding appearing in his deep eyes.
"I never expected to find the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl here."
He naturally recognized the object; it was the legendary Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
Niu Ben knew perfectly well the origin of this treasure.
The complete Dinghai Divine Pearl consists of thirty-six pearls, twenty-four of which were bestowed upon Zhao Gongming, a disciple of his third uncle, Tongtian.
Unfortunately, although Zhao Gongming obtained this treasure, he failed to fully understand its mysteries, and it was eventually taken away by the Taoist Ran Deng during the Investiture of the Gods.
Dipankara, however, possessed exceptional insight and thoroughly refined this treasure, transforming it into the Twenty-Four Heavenly Realms of Buddhism.
In doing so, the lamp also established its pivotal position in Western religion.
By relying on the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Randeng not only gained the power of the world, but also the power of people's faith.
When Randeng releases the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl into battle, the opponent no longer has to defend against the attack of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl itself, but also has to face the power of a world carried by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
Just as Niu Ben was lost in thought, Bi Xiao, who was standing beside him, snapped out of her reverie and cheered excitedly:
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on obtaining the treasure!"
Bixiao was overjoyed, and her silvery cheers echoed throughout the treasure vault.
Yunxiao and Qiongxiao were also very excited. They were naturally happy that Niu Ben had obtained this treasure.
Ao Run's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but for some reason, she swallowed the words back down.
Niu Ben smiled faintly, also surprised.
Originally, I only intended to find some innate materials for refining pills in the Dragon Clan's treasure trove.
Unexpectedly, they made a surprising discovery: the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls hidden among them.
"Senior Brother."
"Quickly, let's see what treasures are inside this second treasure chest!"
Just then, Bixiao turned her gaze to the unopened treasure box.
Upon hearing this, Ao Run, Yunxiao, and Qiongxiao all held their breath and focused their attention.
Niu Ben nodded slightly, waved his hand, and put the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls back into the treasure box, thus opening another treasure box.
However, when the second treasure box was opened, everyone was stunned.
Upon closer inspection, the box was found to be completely empty, with only a faint wisp of Daoist energy flowing within it.
"Um"
Upon seeing this, Niu Ben frowned slightly.
It was obvious that the treasure inside the box was gone.
"Why is there nothing here?"
Bixiao exclaimed in surprise, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
When Yunxiao and the others saw this, they were all surprised.
I had assumed that the second treasure box would also contain some extraordinary treasure, but it turned out to be empty.
Niu Ben didn't seem to care much about this.
Finding the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in the Dragon Clan's treasure trove was already an enormous gain.
After a slight pause, he came to his senses and waved his hand. The treasure box containing the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls flew down to Ao Run's side.
The shimmering pearls and precious stones reflected Ao Run's stunningly beautiful face, making it appear dreamlike and ethereal.
"what?"
This sudden turn of events left Ao Run bewildered, and he looked at Niu Ben with confusion, saying:
"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"
Ao Run looked bewildered.
Niu Ben remained calm and said indifferently:
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run."
"Since this item was found in your dragon palace, it rightfully belongs to you."
As soon as Niu Ben uttered these words, the three Xiaos standing nearby were all taken aback.
To everyone's surprise, Niu Ben actually wanted to return the treasure he had found to Ao Run.
Especially Bixiao, who pouted, looking unhappy.
In her opinion, those twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were found by Niu Ben.
Upon hearing this, Ao Run's expression changed drastically, and he quickly waved his hand, saying:
"Absolutely not!"
"Before entering the treasure vault, I said that Fellow Daoist Niu Ben could take any treasure he fancy."
"Since this item was found by you, fellow Daoist, it should rightfully belong to you."
Although he knew that these twelve precious pearls were extraordinary, Ao Run was not the kind of person to go back on his word.
Not to mention, Niu Ben had saved her life.
Seeing that Ao Run said so, Niu Ben didn't stand on ceremony and nodded, saying:
"Alright then."
"I will accept this item."
With that, Niu Ben put away the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.
He knew very well that keeping this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl would be of great use in the future.
After putting away the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, Niu Ben's gaze sharpened as he looked directly at Ao Run, and he said again:
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run."
"Now that I've acquired this precious treasure, I won't let you suffer a loss for nothing."
"I saw it just now too; there are still some innate materials that can be found in this treasure vault."
"I can give you that one pill."
Niu Ben knew that those twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were not valuable treasures.
I would feel somewhat guilty if I took it for nothing.
Fortunately, some materials can still be found in this treasure vault.
In addition to the Great Luo Demon King Dao Fruit he had previously obtained, he could refine a pill as compensation for Ao Run.
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Ao Run was overjoyed.
"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Niu Ben!"
Ao Run was extremely grateful.
The three immortals of Sanxiao, who were standing nearby, had different expressions upon hearing this.
Bixiao, in particular, was consumed by jealousy.
Thinking that Niu Ben had saved Ao Run's life, even if he took the twelve pearls, it would be even.
But Niu Ben actually offered to refine elixirs for Ao Run.
"Could it be that Senior Brother has taken a liking to this dragon girl?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Bixiao's mind.
Next, Niu Ben took some innate materials from the treasure vault before leaving.
After leaving the treasure vault, Ao Run immediately ordered people to prepare a quiet room and a furnace for Niu Ben to use for alchemy.
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, is this a suitable location?"
Ao Run arrived with Niu Ben.
Niu Ben nodded and hummed softly:
"Can."
"For the rest of my life, I will be refining elixirs here."
"Fellow Daoist Ao Run, please do not let anyone come to disturb me."
Ao Run nodded, and then left with the Three Immortals.
After the others left, Niu Ben didn't linger and directly took out the materials needed to refine the Great Luo Golden Pill, as well as the Dao Fruit of the Great Luo Demon King.
"The Great Dao of Alchemy! Activate!"
With a soft shout from Niu Ben, true fire instantly ignited within the alchemy furnace.
With practiced skill, he placed various materials into the alchemy furnace one by one, and finally slowly sent the Great Luo Dao Fruit into the furnace.
……
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a century has passed.
"boom!"
On this day, a huge commotion suddenly came from that alchemy room.
At the same time, the entire Dragon Palace was bathed in radiant light, and auspicious seven-colored clouds gathered.
"Roar!"
All that could be heard was a series of clear and melodious dragon roars.
Immediately afterwards, the alchemy furnace in the quiet room suddenly turned on, and a golden light shot straight into the sky.
Niu Ben slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand and gently beckoned, and a golden pill flew out of the furnace and landed in his palm.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the pill was covered with dense patterns and the Dao inscriptions were flashing.
It was none other than a Great Luo Golden Pill!
Niu Ben examined it for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Truly worthy of being called the Great Dao Alchemy Technique!"
This Great Luo Golden Pill, refined using the Great Dao Alchemy Technique, allows one to instantly attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal status upon consumption. Its only drawback is that the user will remain in this state forever, making further advancement difficult.
Even so, the efficacy of this Great Luo Golden Pill is comparable to the Nine-Turn Golden Pill refined by the Supreme Taoist.
Niu Ben put the Great Luo Golden Elixir into a specially made jade bottle, straightened his clothes, and got up to walk out of the alchemy room that had been sealed for a hundred years.
