"The fire dragon must be hiding something?" Duan Ling Tian raised a question, then he pondered for a moment. "I think so too, I think it's better this way. Since I'm able to restrain the Fire Dragon, why don't you refine it, then everything will be clear."

Duan Meng was slightly hesitant. What use would a fire dragon have if it was refined?

"Let's go in and take a look. We'll act accordingly."

The two of them arrived at the cave in the lava, but the Fire Dragon was somewhat unhappy.

"Duan Ling Tian, you're so sinister, since I've submitted to you, I'll share the same thoughts as you, why did you set up a restriction at the entrance of the cave?" Duan Ling Tian laughed slyly. "I'm afraid that you're not sincere about submitting to me, are you? You're saying that you're not an artifact spirit?"

"I'm an artifact spirit, so what? But we're friends …"

"Friend? I'll give you a thousand year Heavenly Dragon Grass every day, but you're lying. Once you mature, you'll break through the restrictions, right? "

"That's not right. You're too paranoid." The Fire Dragon switched to quibbling. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had already guessed eighty to ninety percent of it.

"Duan Pu, come out?" Duan Pu grinned and came out.

"Fire Dragon, you're the artifact spirit of the Heaven Refining Diagram?" The fire dragon was shocked. "Who are you? How do you know my true body?"

"Duan Meng, I've finally found the inside page of the Heavenly Refining Diagram. I just don't know how many pages there are."

The moment the fire dragon saw that its lie had been exposed, it immediately turned into a streak of light and fled into the depths of the magma.

The magma was getting hotter and hotter, so Duan Ru could only take out a few stalks of Heavenly Dragon Grass and swallow them one by one to withstand the heat wave. They quickly arrived at the bottom of the magma and saw a palace.

Closing the door tightly, Duan Shu swayed for a moment, but he didn't move an inch.

"What should we do?" Duan Ru asked Duan Pu, "Duan Ru, take out your lousy sheepskin."

Duan Pu took the torn sheepskin and pasted it on the palace door. The door suddenly opened and a golden light shone from within. Duan Meng took a closer look. The place where the golden light flashed was like an inner page. There were three large words written on it: Heaven Refining Diagram. Duan Peng was overjoyed. He picked up the map and was about to devour it.

The fire dragon came out, begging for mercy.

"Please don't swallow me. After thousands of years, I have already cultivated and formed. If I absorb some more Essence, I will be able to cultivate to the true fruit. If you swallow me, I am finished."

"Evil creature" Duan Pu shouted, "You are a part of the [Refinement Sky Diagram], how can you talk about the main fruit? "How dare you! Why aren't you returning to your original body yet?"

When the Fire Dragon heard this, it was only then did it realize that Duan Peng was the true artifact spirit of the diagram. It could only hide and return to the diagram. Duan Peng hurriedly swallowed it up. After a short moment, Duan Peng's body swelled up and he returned to his original state. Golden light flickered in his eyes.

"This is great. This is the first page of the Refinement Sky Diagram. My power has increased by another level and my memories have expanded by quite a bit as well. There are many things that I remember now."

"This is great, are there any higher level alchemy manuals?"

"Yes, I can only remember the fourth rank pill refining method on the first page, but the Fire Dragon swallowed countless Heavenly Dragon Grass and almost succeeded. My power has increased by a lot, and now I have the memories of a fifth rank manual."

If he had learned the ability to refine Tier 5 spiritual energy pills, in addition to his own Infinite Sky Dragon Grass, then his wealth would have skyrocketed. Not to mention the Fire Dragon Province, even in the Great Yu Empire, he would have been able to do whatever he wanted. Now that he already had the first Heavenly Refining Diagram, as long as he could refine this diagram, his power would increase exponentially as well.

Of course, Duan Peng was a must. There were still 35 pages of the Heavenly Refining Diagram. If he could refine all of them, what kind of feeling would he have? Was he a god, a deity? Or was it the Chief Sovereign?

Anything is possible.

Duan Meng was brimming with confidence and was about to leave when he heard a loud rumble. The palace where the Refinement Diagram was located suddenly collapsed, and the magma emitted a strange glow, forming a small space. It was like a cage of fire, trapping Duan Ren underground.

"What happened?" Duan Meng asked Duan Peng in shock. I don't know yet, but I'm searching through the memories of the Fire Dragon. " After a while, Duan Pu was shocked, "Not good! Before I devoured the Fire Dragon, I erased my memories. That damned Fire Dragon, he knows he has no chance of surviving but he still has a way out!"

"Then what should we do?" Duan Jian was slightly anxious.

"I just swallowed the first page of the [Heaven-Refining Divine Art], so I don't have any real strength. If I want to get out, I'll have to rely on you." "How do I get out?"

"Once you completely absorb the first page of the diagram, you'll have the power of the diagram. As the artifact spirit, I'm unable to break through the Inferno Prison. You're the real body, but you have the ability."

Duan Ru Yue still had many things to do outside, and the matter of annihilating the crown prince was extremely urgent. However, Duan Ru Yue didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only focus on cultivating. As long as he couldn't absorb and refine the pages of the diagram, he wouldn't be able to leave. This was because he had no way to break out of the Hells of Flame with his own cultivation.

"Damned Fire Dragon", it is truly a human's heart. The Fire Dragon knows that it will definitely die, and it even left a hidden danger for itself.

It was too late now, so he could only focus on his cultivation. If he couldn't get out, then he had plans to not get out. However, after thinking it through, he was no longer in a hurry.

"Duan Peng, teach me how to refine a Grade 5 Elixir first!"

"Hehe, you sure are impatient. You need to learn how to refine Tier 4 pills before you can refine Tier 5 pills. I have never seen anyone refining pills beyond Tier 1 before."

Duan Ru Yue decided that her plan to become a grade-4 apothecary would begin now.

In this vast space, there was no cage of fire nor any rivers of mountains. There were all kinds of Heavenly Dragon Grass here, and the oldest was nearly 9,000 years old. Although there were not many of them, there were at least dozens, and there were only two stalks of the 10,000 Year Old Heavenly Dragon Grass.

The ten thousand year Grass King Duan pounced on Gu Yun was actually not a Grass King, but rather, it was close to ten thousand years old. Gu Yun did not fully recognize it. There was only one Heavenly Dragon Grass King, and that was formed from the essence of the sun and moon. There was only one Heavenly Dragon Grass left in the world, so it was absolutely impossible to have another one.

The heaven and earth is fair, and won't give you so many benefits for nothing. If you want to grow many Heavenly Dragon Grass, you need a huge amount of Spiritual Pills, and raising Heavenly Dragon Grass that is more than a thousand years is not a simple matter.

It was a good thing that Duan Peng did not disappoint him with all of this. In the space within the Diagram, the amount of Heavenly Dragon Grass was more than enough for him to use.

After three months, Duan Ling Tian became a grade-4 apothecary.

After half a year, Duan Meng became a Tier 5 alchemist. If he were to refine 100 Tier 5 spiritual pills now, it would only take him fifteen minutes. He would definitely be the number one alchemist in the entire Empire of Yu.

After half a year of training and tens of thousands of failures, Duan Meng's skill had increased tremendously. It was time to refine the inner page of the Refinement Sky Diagram. Even though the inner page required a huge amount of true energy, Duan Ru's true energy was slowly decreasing in the vast Dantian Sea. Finally, when the true energy was reduced to 20% of the dantian's energy, the Heavenly Refining Diagram was finally refined.

Duan Meng let out a long sigh of relief.
