"Right, divine sense!"

Chen Sheng closed his eyes once again, carefully sensing the wonderful power of his newly born divine sense.

In an instant.

The divine sense spread out like invisible ripples, centering on him, quickly expanding around the Hidden Dragon Cave.

Where it passed, everything within the cave was vividly reflected in his sea of consciousness: the textures of the rock walls, the droplets of water, even the tiny dust in the corners...

Soon, the divine sense reached the edge of the cave and encountered the obstruction of the cave's array, unable to extend further outward.

Chen Sheng had a thought and dispersed the cave's array.

With no more obstructions, the divine sense spread outward, covering the structure of the mountains outside the cave, the flow of spiritual qi between the mountains, and the slight tremors of the rock layers deep underground...

Everything within a hundred Zhang radius was clearly presented in his sea of consciousness.

Chen Sheng finally determined the coverage range of his divine sense and nodded to himself:

"If there are no obstructions, the coverage range of my divine sense is up to a hundred Zhang, which is about the standard for most Foundation Establishment Early-stage Cultivators, so it's quite acceptable."

"However, if there are significant obstructions, it becomes much more difficult for the divine sense to penetrate, for instance beneath the ground, it can only extend up to twenty Zhang at most."

"But the core function of divine sense is not just 'seeing'; it's also about 'controlling'—manipulating objects with the divine."

At this thought, Chen Sheng's mind stirred.

The invisible telekinesis of his divine sense gently grabbed.

In the corner of the cave, a pigeon-egg-sized pebble suddenly jumped up and floated in the air.

Then, under the precise command of the divine sense, this pebble began performing dazzling maneuvers in mid-air:

swiftly spiraling, changing directions, drawing perfect circular and figure-eight trajectories, pausing in suspension, rapidly spinning and leaving afterimages, moving up and down like a dancing sprite...

The entire process was light and fluid, with turns as desired, without any hindrance whatsoever.

All of this, Chen Sheng accomplished without using a trace of mana, solely relying on the power of his divine sense.

He kept his eyes closed, attentively feeling the connection between the divine sense and the pebble.

The sensation was incredibly wondrous!

It felt as if he had an invisible hand, adjustable in size, capable of both exerting great force effortlessly and manipulating with extreme precision, covering an area of a hundred Zhang.

The transmission and feedback of every bit of force were clearly reflected in the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, filled with indescribable joy:

"This is the divine sense, indeed boundlessly mysterious."

"With this divine sense aiding in alchemy, it's far more effortless than merely relying on mana for control, with precision unmatched."

As soon as he thought of alchemy.

A trace of urgency flashed in Chen Sheng's heart.

Previously, limited by his Qi Cultivation, without a formed divine sense, many intricate alchemical techniques were hard to execute.

Now, with his divine sense just forming, it's the perfect opportunity to fully unleash and see what level his alchemy skills can truly reach!

Chen Sheng instinctively reached to touch the storage pouch at his waist.

"No, wait!"

The very next moment.

He realized, withdrew his extended hand, and then with a gentle sweep of his divine sense, the restriction on the storage pouch was easily undone.

Chen Sheng silently reminded himself:

"I must gradually get used to the presence of the divine sense."

"Especially during magical combat!"

...

Soon, the pill furnace and several previously prepared spiritual materials were taken out from the bag, settling steadily on the ground before him without making a sound.

"Ruyi Fruit, White Cloud Reishi, Heaven-Facing Liquid... just enough to make a set of materials for refining the Ruyi Pill."

Looking at the spiritual materials on the ground, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in Chen Sheng's eyes:

"Ruyi Pill, a Tier Two Middle Grade Elixir, today is just right to test my methods!"

With the assistance of his divine sense, the accuracy of the mana-formed threads increased severalfold, peeling the fruit's skin, removing the reishi roots, blending the liquid...

A series of swift, precise, stable actions, efficiency far surpassing the past, as smooth as flowing water.

Soon, Chen Sheng finished processing all the spiritual objects.

Just waiting to enter the furnace for refining!

His gaze fell upon the Tier Two High Grade Furnace 'Cyan Abyss' bestowed by his master.

The divine sense enveloped it, his mind lightly moved, and the furnace emitted a clear and resonant sound, growing with the wind.

In an instant, it transformed into a large furnace, half a person tall, with flame patterns engraved on its body radiating a scorching aura.

Chen Sheng flicked his fingers, precisely sending a golden Origin Fire into the earth fire opening at the bottom of the pill furnace.

Meanwhile, his divine sense followed the spiritual fire and carefully examined the state and characteristics of the earth fire.

Soon after, he formed a spell with his hands, using divine sense to assist in controlling the earth fire, and an unprecedented sense of ease emerged in his heart.

The fine control that previously required a great amount of heart spirit was now effortless under the guidance of divine sense.

"Transform!"

The spell changed.

The endless flames within the pill furnace transformed according to his will, becoming one yin and one yang, intertwining and blending, ultimately forming a Formless Yin Yang Purgatory.

His divine sense assisted the spell, allowing him to master the subtle changes with ease. The growth and fusion of the Yin Yang Fire moved with his will, reaching a miraculous level.

Chen Sheng's face broke into a satisfied smile:

"With such control, it truly has a hint of Yin Yang Complement Each Other."

He did not rush to put the processed spiritual materials into the pill furnace but continued to adjust to the connection between divine sense and earth fire, feeling the sense of control.

After a long time, watching the flickering flames before him, an inspiration suddenly struck him, and he consecutively cast several spells onto the earth fire.

They were profound secret techniques recorded in the "Nine Techniques of Locking Spirit" and "Three Revolutions Condensing Pill Secret Technique."

Over the past six months, Chen Sheng's fire technique skills were limited by insufficient cultivation; without divine sense, he could hardly advance.

Instead, the two volumes on condensing pills and locking spirit, which required less divine sense, were thoroughly studied by him, and he initially mastered several advanced techniques.

In an instant, with Chen Sheng casting each spell effortlessly, under the fine control of divine sense, the earth fire within the pill furnace began to undergo magical changes.

The originally fierce burning earth fire continuously rotated and condensed, undergoing three transformations that refined and eliminated all its impurities.

Simultaneously, the spirit-locking method spread out, firmly sealing the violent power of the earth fire within the core of the flame.

Finally, a fist-sized, completely crimson fire bead slowly revolved above the pill furnace, with the overwhelming power contained inside perfectly sealed.

Looking at this fire bead, a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Sheng's mind:

"I think I know how to refine the Celestial Thunder Seed now."

However...

When the spell was retracted, losing its support.

The fire bead, which contained enormous power, instantly became unstable, beginning to shake violently, its surface flashing erratically.

It seemed like it could explode at any moment!

"Not good!"

Chen Sheng was startled and dared not neglect it in the slightest.

The Blood Gang in his body erupted instantly, and his figure shot backward like an arrow from a bowstring, appearing dozens of feet away in an instant.

At the same time, he fully activated his divine sense, transforming it into an invisible net that enveloped the agitated fire bead, beginning to buffer and guide it...

A dozen breaths later, under the guidance of divine sense, the power within the fire bead slowly dissipated, completely eliminating the threat of explosion.

Only then did Chen Sheng breathe a long sigh of relief, beads of cold sweat seeping from his forehead. He looked at the gradually dimming fire bead, feeling a lingering fear, secretly saying:

"It seems the technique for solidifying the flame's power is far from simple."

"As for the refining of the Celestial Thunder Seed, I wonder what techniques were used, or if there are some tricks with the materials to make the power stable within it."

Chen Sheng shook his head; he wasn't familiar with artifact refining and couldn't understand the key.

"This time, I'll take it as a lesson."

"If that fire bead really exploded just now, with the earth fire's formidable power, its might would surely be a hundred times more ferocious than a pill furnace explosion."

"I just established Foundation, and if I perished meaninglessly mid-path now, it would be too unfortunate!"

Shortly after, Chen Sheng, his mood calmed, returned to the cave residence.

From the previous attempt, he became more proficient in the technique of divine sense assistance, fully understanding the significant role of divine sense in alchemy and fire control.

He wasted no more time and began refining the Ruyi Pill.

...

A quarter of an hour later.

"Buzz——"

The pill furnace shook violently, and a brilliant golden light shot up from the furnace mouth, dazzling and eye-catching.

Immediately after, six dragon-eye-sized, perfectly round pills emitting a rich medicinal fragrance flew out of the furnace mouth, caught by Chen Sheng with his divine sense.

He picked up one pill, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and carefully observed the pill's color and patterns, his face showing a satisfied expression:

"Eighty-five percent effectiveness, considered a small masterpiece. It seems my current alchemy skills are enough to be called a Tier Two Middle Grade Alchemist!"

It's worth noting that before his divine sense was formed,

Chen Sheng found it difficult to even refine Tier Two Lower Grade Elixirs and often failed.

But once his divine sense formed, he could easily refine Tier Two Middle Grade small masterpiece elixirs. The difference before and after was like night and day.

Chen Sheng's face showed a confident smile:

"Once I fully digest these three volumes of inheritance and settle for a few years, perhaps I will attempt refining Tier Two High Grade Elixirs."
