I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1615

The Red Lotus Karma Fire that arose on the Spirit Sword, although scarce, was continuous, and when combined with ten thousand Spirit Swords, it far surpassed the Flame Giant in both quantity and quality. Moments later, the amount of flame beneath the furnace, Red Lotus Karma Fire, had matched the Flame Giant in competition, even beginning to overpower it.

“Stop, stop now!” the Flame Giant roared, and even the Alchemy Furnace began to tremble slightly, with the sounds of collision inside growing louder and louder!

“Do you even know how to refine pills? Your flame might be of a higher grade, but you can't control the flame to perform alchemy. What use is it for you to take over the Alchemy Furnace if you're just going to ruin the elixirs inside!” the Flame Giant shouted.

Song Jian was taken aback, only then remembering that his expertise was in engineering, and he had no experience in Alchemy Skill. Furthermore, even a cursory understanding wouldn't suffice, as the skill to craft God-level Elixirs required at least Great Grandmaster, if not Demi-God Level proficiency.

If the Red Lotus Karma Fire truly took complete control over the entire Alchemy Furnace, then it would mean that he had snatched the ongoing alchemy work from the hands of the Flame Giant–carelessness at that stage could very likely ruin the nearly finished elixirs!

With this thought, Song Jian furrowed his brows.

“Since I can't obtain this batch of elixirs anyway, might as well destroy it completely and be done with it!” Song Jian said with a sinister chuckle.

Although within the entire Alchemy Palace, this batch of elixirs was the most precious, if he truly couldn't obtain it, then destroying it wouldn't be a pity–as long as he could take the God-level Alchemy Furnace with him.

Hearing that Song Jian intended to destroy the batch of Ascension Pills, the flames at the bottom of the furnace trembled twice. With Song Jian's strength, destroying the elixirs was an easy task, one that the Flame Giant couldn't prevent.

“Damn it, this batch of elixirs has been refining for a hundred thousand years, and it's nearly complete. Once I consume the Ascension Pill, I will instantly break through to the Legendary Realm and become an immortal existence…” the Flame Giant roared inside.

To stop Song Jian now, only the sudden appearance of Heaven-exterminating True Monarch would suffice, but the Flame Giant knew that after a hundred thousand years, the chance that Heaven-exterminating True Monarch was still in this world was slim; otherwise, he would have returned long ago to personally refine this batch of elixirs. If that were the case, the Ascension Pills would have been finished much sooner, with no need to wait so long.

“Song Jian, these are Ascension Pills. Just by taking one, you can ascend to heaven and become an eternal being. Don't you want to obtain it?!” the Flame Giant roared desperately.

“Heh, what's the use of something good if you can't get your hands on it? And let me ask you, if the Ascension Pills were successfully refined, would you be willing to give them to me?” Song Jian laughed.

Inside the Alchemy Furnace, the flames blazed fiercely–dark red Red Lotus Karma Fire contending with black-red flame, gradually expelling the latter from the bottom of the furnace.

“Fine, fine, I'll give them to you!” the Flame Giant finally couldn't bear it any longer. If this continued, it would lose complete control over the Alchemy Furnace, and since Song Jian didn't know how to refine pills, the Ascension Pills, which had been refining for a hundred thousand years, were 99% likely to turn to charcoal.

Song Jian was stunned; he hadn't expected the Flame Giant to actually agree to give him the batch of Ascension Pills. It gave him an unreal feeling.

“I only want one Ascension Pill, the rest can all be yours!” the Flame Giant bellowed, “From a batch of Ascension Pills, at least three pills are refined. I only want one, the rest will be yours!”

Just then, a system prompt suddenly appeared before Song Jian's eyes;
“`
System: The Flame Giant Asphelin wishes to form a contract with you to jointly concoct the Ascension Pill. Upon successful concoction, you must ensure that the other party receives at least one Ascension Pill! Do you agree? Yes/No
Song Jian was taken aback. He hadn't expected that even the system would acknowledge the promise of the Flame Giant. It seemed the system also didn't want to let this batch of Ascension Pills go to waste!

“The value of this batch of Ascension Pills is probably even beyond my expectation…” Song Jian thought to himself with surprise.

Without hesitation, he chose “Yes,” and then laughed heartily, “Good, I agree. When the time comes, I will share one with you. But aren't you afraid that Heaven-exterminating True Monarch will come back to trouble you?”

Seeing Song Jian's agreement, the Flame Giant Asphelin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, considering him a temporary ally. He snorted and said, “Hmph, Heaven-exterminating True Monarch hasn't returned for a hundred thousand years. I reckon he has already perished. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left such an important batch of elixirs unattended for a hundred thousand years without even glancing at them, right?”

“You sneaky fellow, guarding the loot for your own gain, haha!” Song Jian laughed, “Tell me, what effects does this Ascension Pill really have that you've spent a hundred thousand years here to concoct it?”

“Ascension Pill, as the name suggests, allows one to ascend to heaven in one step and become a god-level powerhouse…” the Flame Giant said.

Song Jian listened intently. Although he already knew that the Ascension Pill was a god-level elixir, he was still shocked by the effects of the Ascension Pill as described by the Flame Giant.

“I believe that one can break through from the Legendary Realm to the Demi-God Level, but to say it grants eternal life, existence alongside heaven and earth, and coexistence with the universe… isn't that a bit too exaggerated? After all, it's just a pill!” Song Jian said with a laugh, somewhat skeptical of the Flame Giant's words.

“You'll know when the time comes,” the Flame Giant said indifferently, seemingly too lazy to explain further.

Song Jian smiled slightly and began to carefully withdraw the Red Lotus Karma Fire that had melded into the Alchemy Furnace, allowing the Flame Giant's flames to regain dominance.

“Don't be hasty in withdrawing the Red Lotus Karma Fire!” the Flame Giant suddenly interrupted, “This batch of elixirs has been in the making for a hundred thousand years. Even though it's about to succeed, if it's just me alone, it would still take several months or even years to complete the concoction!”

“The Red Lotus Karma Fire is of high quality. If you could use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to assist me in pill refining, we could greatly accelerate the process. As long as you assist me with full effort, I am confident that we could successfully concoct this batch of elixirs within a few days!” the Flame Giant said.

“What, assist you?” Song Jian was surprised, “Aren't you afraid that I would ruin this batch of elixirs?”

“You're just assisting me, not taking the lead. Just follow my commands; it's simple. Reduce the fire when I say so, and increase it when I ask. With the quality of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, it's enough to raise the success rate by two levels!” the Flame Giant explained.

Song Jian smiled slightly and nodded, “Alright, I will assist you.”

“Then proceed. Slowly withdraw the Red Lotus Karma Fire, slower, even slower, yes, good, good, just like that, maintain it. In alchemy, we don't seek intense flames, but stability is essential. A stable flame intensity is the key to deciding whether a batch of good elixirs can be concocted…” the Flame Giant instructed slowly.
