Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

"Grandpa!" Ruo Lin called softly.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. You can decide your own matters," Ruo Hao smiled, stroking his beard.

Meanwhile, Old Man Fire watched those who had obtained the Fire Spirit Pearls with a gleam in his eyes, looking at Mu Chen with the gaze of someone who had been taken advantage of. Mu Chen was so good-natured that Old Man Fire felt the need to squeeze some more benefits out of him. Frowning slightly, he muttered, "Young man, I feel like I've been shortchanged!"

Mu Chen naturally noticed the change in Old Man Fire's expression and knew that the old man saw him as an easy target. Smiling, he said, "Elder Fire, you are also an Alchemist, and it seems we are fated to meet. Later, I will refine a pill, one that is the most suitable for refining the Strange Fire among the pill recipes I have obtained. If you're interested, you can watch from the side."

"You... you're also an Alchemist?" Old Man Fire stared at Mu Chen in astonishment.

Not only Old Man Fire, but even Su Qian and the others were dumbfounded as they looked at Mu Chen. In their eyes, Mu Chen's cultivation was unfathomable, far beyond their own, and they had never imagined that he would also be a revered Alchemist.

"Yes," Mu Chen nodded, walking over to Ruo Lin's side. Unbothered by the presence of her grandfather, he wrapped his arm around her waist.

"You..." Ruo Lin's face turned red as she half-heartedly pushed against Mu Chen.

"This place isn't suitable for refining pills, nor is it suitable for you to refine the Strange Fire. Let's go to a more appropriate location," Mu Chen explained.

"Alright," Ruo Lin understood Mu Chen's meaning and no longer resisted, allowing him to hold her waist. However, her head was lowered, her face as red as a ripe apple. She knew that after today, there would be no shortage of rumors about her and Mu Chen in the outer court.

Carried by Mu Chen, Ruo Lin arrived at the entrance of a cave on a mountain near the outer court. Mu Chen set her down and touched his Storage Ring with his finger. With a flick, an ancient cauldron appeared at the cave entrance.

"What a fine cauldron," Old Man Fire praised.

Although the cauldron wasn't listed on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, it was no ordinary cauldron. It had been forged by the divine craftsman Lou Gao of the Douluo Dimension, along with four other master blacksmiths, over forty-nine days using a meteorite from beyond the heavens.

The black cauldron was quite robust, exuding a steady aura. Its surface was adorned with vivid flame patterns, resembling nine dragons dancing in the air. As the cauldron slowly rotated, these flame patterns seemed almost tangible. Old Man Fire could even sense faint fire energy gathering around the cauldron.

Next, Mu Chen took out the Blood Lotus Essence, Ice Flame Spirit Grass, and other medicinal ingredients. He then summoned the Otherworldly Fire Yin-Yang Dual Flames. Under Mu Chen's control, all the ingredients were refined.

"I'm about to begin," Mu Chen said to Old Man Fire.

"Alright," Old Man Fire nodded, then asked, "Young man, how about letting me refine the pill for you? Don't worry, I won't charge you anything this time."

Old Man Fire inquired, thinking that even if Mu Chen was an Alchemist, his skills couldn't possibly be that high. At least, not as high as his own.

Mu Chen smiled and shook his head. As he poured the refined liquid into the cauldron, the old man surnamed Huo also released his soul to sense the real-time situation inside.

When the old man's Soul Awareness first touched the inside of the cauldron, he was completely stunned. He discovered that Mu Chen had actually fused and refined all the medicinal liquids in the cauldron at once.

It's important to know that different medicinal drops can repel each other due to their differing energies. For an Alchemist, it's common practice to gradually fuse the drops during the alchemy process.

"Has his Soul Power reached such an astonishing level?" The old man glanced at Mu Chen in shock.

As the old man continued to observe, his inner astonishment only grew. Mu Chen's alchemy techniques were something he had never seen or heard of before.

After about a few minutes, the scent of the pill had already permeated the surroundings, forming a faint red mist above the cauldron.

The strange phenomenon and the peculiar fragrance were signs that the pill had reached the fifth grade.

Whoosh

With a wave of his hand, Mu Chen sent a red pill flying out of the cauldron. The smooth and round pill seemed to be naturally formed, at least reaching the level of a top-grade pill.

"Did you see it clearly?" Mu Chen asked.

"Thank you for your guidance, young brother." The old man, disregarding his own status, bowed to Mu Chen with utmost respect.

When the old man looked up at Mu Chen, he cursed himself inwardly.

If the old man were to refine a fifth-grade Blood Lotus Pill, it would take him at least half a day. But Mu Chen? He had only spent less than ten minutes. Mu Chen's alchemy skills could truly be described as reaching the pinnacle.

The old man cursed himself inwardly, laughing at how he had previously looked down on Mu Chen, thinking that Mu Chen's alchemy skills were inferior to his. Little did he know, Mu Chen was more than qualified to be his master.

"Next, Ruo Lin needs to refine the Strange Fire. I would appreciate it if you could make it convenient for us," Mu Chen said politely.

The old man nodded and bowed to Mu Chen once again with respect. Whether it was in cultivation or alchemy, Mu Chen was far superior to him, and thus, he was more than worthy of the old man's bow.

After bowing, the old man's back lightly trembled, and his Dou Qi transformed into wings. With a flap of his wings, he disappeared into the distance in no time.

Having completed these tasks, Mu Chen turned to look at Ruo Lin. Ruo Lin was as tender as water, her temperament as gentle as water, and her softness akin to water. Just the thought of seeing Ruo Lin's body made a wave of heat rise uncontrollably in his lower abdomen. "Let's go in," he said.

"Mm."

Ruo Lin nodded and followed behind Mu Chen as they entered the cave.

The cave wasn't large, only about thirty meters deep. The space inside the cavern wasn't big either, roughly only forty to fifty cubic meters.

"What should I do?" Ruo Lin asked Mu Chen, her heart racing at the thought of possessing the Strange Fire.

"First, swallow the Blood Lotus Pill. Second, extend your hand into the Heart Sea Flame; at its core, there's something resembling magma, which is the source flame of the Heart Sea Flame. Third, swallow the source flame of the Heart Sea Flame and also take this bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Fourth, endure the pain of the Strange Fire tempering your body, circulate your cultivation technique to let the Strange Fire flow through your meridians, and once it becomes docile, store it in this Soul Storage. Did you get all that?" Mu Chen took out another Soul Storage from his Storage Ring.

"Mm." Ruo Lin silently rehearsed all the steps in her mind and finally nodded to Mu Chen.

"Remember: as long as a thought remains, you will not perish," Mu Chen solemnly instructed.

"Mm," Ruo Lin nodded heavily.

"Let's begin," Mu Chen commanded.

Ruo Lin hesitated for a moment, calming her inner emotions. After a while, she gracefully picked up the Blood Lotus Pill with her delicate fingers and placed it into her mouth.

As the Blood Lotus Pill entered her stomach, blood shackles began to form both inside and outside Ruo Lin's body.

"Proceed to the second step," Mu Chen urged.

Ruo Lin glanced at Mu Chen and, out of trust in him, reached into the Sea Heart Flame to grasp the deep blue magma. Without hesitation, she swallowed the magma.

"Ah!"

Ruo Lin groaned in pain as her Dou Qi erupted. The intense heat within her body instinctively caused her to use her Dou Qi to shatter all her clothing. A breathtakingly beautiful, inhumanly perfect body was revealed before Mu Chen's eyes.
