The Dreamy Love Tripod is wonderful, but naturally, it also has its drawbacks.
Almost all top-grade magic tools consu an excessive amount of Spirit Power.
And the Ice Royal Tripod is no exception.
Luo Chen doesn’t mind this, though, as the ager amount drained is insignificant compared to his Spirit Power, which is several tis more substantial than those of the sa rank.
There’s another drawback to the Ice Royal Tripod, and it’s quite fatal.
The massive tripod stands two feet tall, with a rounded body and a diater of ten feet, a dazzling giant.
However, it lacks the Ruyi Array size control feature shared by many magical objects, aning that it can’t be shrunk to fit into usual storage tools.
Strictly speaking, this isn’t a drawback.
According to instructions left by Shi Lan, the Ice Royal Tripod was originally designed based on the Sect Stabilizing Pill Tripod, with a towering height of three feet!
That’s a full ten ters tall!
Such a behemoth is typically left in the Pill Hall of the Ice Castle for use by the Golden Core Ascendant Masters.
No consideration was given to portability from the outset.
The Tripod Luo Chen has is a result of a failed casting, slightly smaller in dinsion.
Even so, it’s still too large to fit in any of his storage bags.
"It seems the Jueqing Fairy did this to prevent from fleeing with the Tripod!"
After a chuckle, Luo Chen directed a Spiritual Secret towards the Earth Fire below.
A streak of fla slid out like a snake erging from its hole.
The fire wasn’t very large, but the intense heat it contained made Luo Chen’s heart skip a beat.
"This heat is comparable to that of the Foundation Establishnt True Fla of early Foundation Establishnt Stage practitioners."
"No wonder—it’s a Second Order Earth Fire!"
After reaching the Foundation Establishnt Stage, any cultivator, regardless of the type of their Spirit Root can control a Foundation Establishnt True Fla.
Even cultivators without a fire Spirit Root can manipulate it.
Because "Foundation Establishnt True Fla" is not so much a fla as it is the potent energy produced by the violent activation of Spirit Liquid ford from the transformation of Spirit Power.
Its nature is explosive and turbulent.
Therefore, it’s likened to "fire".
Usually, Foundation Establishnt True Cultivators rarely use Foundation Establishnt True Fla.
Only under special circumstances requiring an extre energy input do they employ it.
For instance, during Pill Refinent or Tool Casting when it’s necessary to dramatically elevate the temperature.
Or when facing intangible Yin Soul Ghostly Matters, requiring a powerful energy to destabilize their Divine Soul and body.
Using True Fla fails to maximize the use of the refined Spirit Liquid.
It’s incredibly wasteful.
Now, with the assistance of the Second Order Earth Fire.
Luo Chen can reduce the frequency of using Foundation Establishnt True Fla during Pill Refinent.
Especially for Second Order pills!
During the refinent of the Jade Dew Pill, he had to generate multiple True Flas, which drained a significant amount of Spirit Power.
That’s why he requested the Second Order Earth Fire from the Jueqing Fairy.
She was well-versed and understood his concerns imdiately, hence she agreed to his request without any hesitation.
"The Ice Royal Tripod consus Spirit Power, and the Second Order Earth Fire conserves Spirit Power. A give and take. I’m not at much of a loss, and increasing Pill Refinent efficiency ans I can potentially earn more!"
Luo Chen was ecstatic.
He took several herbs from his storage bag and tossed them into the Ice Royal Tripod.
He let the strands of Second Order Earth Fire heat the Tripod.
This wasn’t for Pill Refinent, but for moderating the Tripod temperature!
Just like when humans buy a new cast-iron pot, they have to season it.
Premium Pill Tripods also require a seasoning process.
Clearly, this Ice Royal Tripod was brand new and had never been used before. Luo Chen needed to season it by warming it up gradually.
Taking advantage of this ti, Luo Chen started experinting with the Array formations on the Tripod one by one.
He continued this way until the afternoon when his work was finally done.
By the ti he stepped out of the Pill Room, his Immortal Mansion was utterly transford.
There were no traces left behind by its previous occupant, Ling Yuzhi.
In its place were ticulous arrangents and antique furniture adding a sense of elegance.
Each room was lit up with Moonlight Stones, and in quiet corners, First Order Spirit Springs filled with Spirit Fish emitted faint Spirit Qi.
The drugstore, which was directly connected to the Pill Room, was organized by Bai iling with Luo Chen’s commonly used dicinal herbs neatly arranged by categories.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the air.
Mi Li had lit so incense in the main hall.
"Chairman." Mi Li greeted him.
Luo Chen nodded at her and looked around his spacious newly refurbished Immortal Mansion, feeling quite moved.
After years of struggling, he finally had a decent ho.
Even if it’s just a rented one.
"Alright, everyone stop working and co rest for a while."
Luo Chen beckoned and reclined on the soft couch.
The couch, custom-made for Luo Chen by Sima Huiniang, was filled with feathers of flying creatures and upholstered in real magical beast leather.
Sitting on it was a sheer pleasure.
This seed sowhat at odds with Luo Chen’s usual austere image as a cultivator.
But Luo Chen had his own views on it!
Shouldn’t one enjoy a bit after years of hard work?
Of course, indulgence for indulgence’s sake was out of the question.
Reclining on the couch, Luo Chen looked at the four people seated opposite him.
"Have you encountered any issues recently during Pill Refinent?"
"Take advantage of my free ti today, and I’ll answer your queries."
As if they were ready for this, the four people had a bunch of questions.
Qu Lingjun was the first to ask.
Among the four, his understanding of pill refinent was the strongest. He had already mastered the stable refinent of dium Grade Jade Marrow Pills.
But the more he learned, the more he recognized his ignorance.
Consequently, his mind was filled with questions.
These were related to the refinent of Jade Marrow Pills, pill techniques, fire control, dicinal herbs...
Luo Chen was able to answer the majority of those questions.
He left a portion of them for later, planning to provide detailed explanations during the actual Pill Refinent process.
