During those years of preparation, Xiao Lingyu had already used countless pills to practice his hand.
From low-grade to mid-grade, to high-grade, and even top-grade pills, he had successfully concocted them, using countless materials. Only after confirming that Xiao Lingyu had the ability to concoct top-grade pills did Big Sister Gu let him try to concoct the Star Dome Pill.
Xiao Lingyu had already refined the thousands of materials needed to concoct the Star Dome Pill. Now, he only needed to put them into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
After all, it was a top-grade pill. Concocting the Star Dome Pill was extremely difficult. Even with sufficient preparation and the assistance of a top-grade pill furnace like the Eight Trigrams Furnace, there was still a high chance of failure.
As long as there was a slight mistake in the control of the fire, as long as there was a slight pause in the process of gathering the star power, as long as Xiao Lingyu's pill concoction seals or fire control technique were slightly negligent …
There were too many possibilities that could lead to failure. Only by completing the entire concoction process perfectly and smoothly could one succeed.
Under normal circumstances, an Alchemist would need at least three sets of materials to refine such a top-grade pill to guarantee success, not to mention that Xiao Lingyu had never refined a Star Sky Pill before, so Big Sister Gu did not have the slightest experience to teach him.
This attempt was a bit risky, but Big Sister Gu didn't want to wait too long. She had no other choice.
After checking his preparation and condition again and confirming that there were no problems, Xiao Lingyu nodded at Big Sister Gu.
Big Sister Gu then activated the restriction array around the high platform, supporting Xiao Lingyu's condition. She also urged the Samadhi True Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace to show its power.
One by one, the prepared materials were thrown into the Eight Trigrams Furnace by Xiao Lingyu. The furnace's windows also began to emit bursts of fire.
Not long after, under the guidance of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the residents of the new city looked up at the sky. They could all see specks of starlight shining in broad daylight.
"Looks like there's a late-stage Astral Realm expert cultivating, or an expert who just reached the late-stage."
The Astral Realm experts in the city all thought to themselves.
Stars in Daytime was an ability that only late-stage Astral Realm experts had.
Starlight shone as the star power continuously gathered towards the Xiao family's courtyard. The Astral Reaching Realm warriors in the new city deduced that the Xiao family had a late stage Astral Reaching Realm warrior.
However, when everyone thought of the Xiao family's wealth and the Xiao family's performance at the auction, they felt relieved.
How could such a rich and powerful family not have any experts?
Just as Big Sister Gu had said, the most important part of refining the Star Sky Pill was to gather endless star power into the pill. This process was not short, and it consumed a lot of energy. It required the Alchemist to persevere until the end.
If Xiao Lingyu himself was an alchemist at the late stage of the Star Realm, then it would have been easy for him to hold on. Unfortunately, he was not.
However, he had the Eight Trigrams Furnace. He only needed to activate the Eight Trigrams Furnace to gather the power of the stars. However, the Eight Trigrams Furnace was an Innate Spirit Treasure-level pill furnace after all. The True Samadhi Fire was sealed inside. Xiao Lingyu activated the Eight Trigrams Furnace and the True Samadhi Fire. Therefore, Big Sister Gu set up a restriction array around the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
Xiao Lingyu still had a large amount of high-grade pills to recover his energy. If he really could not recover, then he would directly drink the light green liquid.
What made the residents of the new city extremely surprised was that the stars in daytime actually continued. Moreover, at night, the stars in the sky were clearly brighter than before.
The Astral Realm experts in the city were even more shocked. They were very clear that even a late stage Astral Realm expert could not maintain the stars in daytime for too long. However, three months had already passed, and the new city could still see the stars in daytime. The vast and mighty star power was still gathering towards the Xiao family's courtyard.
What was that late stage Astral Realm expert of the Xiao family doing? Could it be that he was cultivating some extremely powerful divine ability?
A portion of the Astral Realm experts with slightly higher realms felt that being able to maintain the stars in daytime for so long was not something a late stage Astral Realm cultivator could do. The person casting the technique in the Xiao family's courtyard should be a peak stage Astral Realm expert.
The experts who had personally seen Xiao Lingyu collect the Eight Trigrams Furnace at the entrance of the Demonic Abyss speculated that the expert casting the technique in the Xiao family should be Great Sage Sun, who had given the Eight Trigrams Furnace to the Xiao family.
Thinking of Great Sage Sun's tyrannical strength and strange temperament, many experts who had planned to enter the Xiao family to investigate gave up on this idea.
The stars in daytime spectacle lasted for close to a year in the new city before finally stopping. For some reason, the residents of the new city let out a long sigh of relief. It was as if under the stars in daytime, there was a huge mountain pressing down on their shoulders.
After all, the residents of the new city were mostly Nirvana Realm cultivators. The gap between them and the Astral Realm experts was too great. Towards this kind of divine ability that only late stage Astral Realm experts could use, they were filled with fear and confusion.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu, who was casting the technique in the Xiao family's courtyard, although his face was haggard and pale, he also felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
He had finally endured the most difficult process of gathering the star power. However, the amount of pills and light green liquid consumed was also immeasurable.
Through the window of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Xiao Lingyu could clearly see that a fist-sized liquid shining with countless specks of starlight had formed.
This was the core embryo, the core embryo of the Star Sky Pellet!
Xiao Lingyu then took out the Sky Dome Mysterious Spirit Essence and carefully placed it into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, allowing it to fuse with the core embryo.
Next was to use the power of the True Samadhi Fire to refine it, making the medicinal power purer and the pill more stable.
During this process, it was the easiest for problems to occur. This was because the temperature of the refinement was sometimes high and sometimes low. It required precise control.
Big Sister Gu and the rest of the Xiao family were all staring at the Eight Trigrams Furnace on the high platform. Right now, everything depended on Xiao Lingyu. They could no longer provide any support or help.
Xiao Lingyu's control of the True Samadhi Fire required the help of the Eight Trigrams Furnace. However, even if he had already refined the Eight Trigrams Furnace, he might not be able to control the True Samadhi Fire as he wished. Thus, he needed to borrow the power of the restriction array around the high platform to help him adjust the temperature of the True Samadhi Fire.
He did not know much about the True Samadhi Fire, so he could not control it well. However, he could completely control the restriction array.
With the help of the restriction array, the refinement process could proceed smoothly.
Under the burning of the True Samadhi Fire, the core embryo continuously condensed and shrunk. It went from the size of a fist to the size of an egg, then from the size of an egg to the size of a date …
When the core embryo was the size of a peanut, the refinement of the Star Sky Pellet was considered to have reached the final step.
Next, Xiao Lingyu took out a jade box and opened the layers of restrictions around the jade box.
As soon as the jade box was opened, a glaring light instantly illuminated the entire Xiao family's courtyard.
It was currently midnight. However, there was a dazzling light in the Xiao family's courtyard that shot into the sky, causing the cultivators who were still walking in the city to raise their heads to look in shock.
A dazzling mist slowly rose from the jade box. It was the Star Spirit, an indispensable and important material for refining the Star Sky Pellet. Its value was not lower than the Sky Dome Mysterious Spirit Essence.
The Star Spirit was not sent into the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Xiao Lingyu moved it to the mouth of the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Then, he opened the Eight Trigrams Furnace with a seal.
As soon as the Eight Trigrams Furnace was opened, a burst of fire also shot into the sky. The powerful aura released from the Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately swept in all directions, destroying all the restriction arrays around the high platform.
Fortunately, there were these extremely powerful restriction arrays. Otherwise, the entire Xiao family's courtyard would have been razed to the ground under the impact of this aura.
Along with the fire, the Star Sky Pellet's core embryo also rushed out. As soon as it came out, the misty Star Spirit immediately wrapped around it.
Under the Star Spirit's wrapping, the core embryo slowly floated into the air.
Xiao Lingyu fiercely drank a large mouthful of light green liquid and then urged the Eight Trigrams Furnace to draw the power of the stars in the sky.
The Star Spirit could also draw the power of the stars, and its speed was not slow. Under the combined effect of the Star Spirit and the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the vast and mighty power of the stars rushed over.
The stars in the sky became even brighter, and the vast area around the new city directly turned from night to day.
The more powerful it was, the more the powerhouses who did not know what was going on felt their hearts palpitate, and the more they did not dare to approach the Xiao family's courtyard.
The core embryo rose to a height of ten thousand feet from the ground before stopping. It was incomparably dazzling, like a blazing sun. Moreover, it was crazily swallowing the power of the stars that were rushing over.
As long as the cultivators of the new city were not in closed door cultivation, they were all in their own courtyards or on the streets, looking up at the bright and dazzling ball of light in the sky above the Xiao family's courtyard. Only a few Star Realm powerhouses with higher realms could see that there was a core embryo in the ball of light. They finally realized that the Xiao family was refining a top-grade pill.
However, the Star Sky Pellet was an existence from a long time ago. Many of the Star Realm powerhouses today did not know about the existence of the Star Sky Pellet. Even if they knew, they would not dare to believe that the Xiao family had the ability to refine the Star Sky Pellet.
From the time it took to refine the pill and the commotion it created, everyone could imagine that this pill was definitely not simple.
Therefore, some powerhouses had the idea of snatching it away, and they all moved closer to the Xiao family's courtyard.
They did not make a move in advance, so as to avoid ruining the pill's refinement and causing it to fail. They waited patiently.
Big Sister Gu also knew that the refinement of the Star Sky Pellet would attract powerhouses to fight over it, so she was naturally prepared for this.
At this moment, she was setting up a formation near the Star Sky Pellet, and Ling 'er had been hiding near the Star Sky Pellet.
The core embryo floated in the air above the Xiao family's courtyard for twenty hours before the Star Spirit absorbed an immeasurable amount of star power and merged into the core embryo.
At this point, the Star Sky Pellet could be considered to have been refined successfully.
It was also at this moment that dozens of Star Realm powerhouses soared up together and flew towards the Star Sky Pellet with their fastest speed.
"Haha, it seems to be the Star Sky Pellet. The taste is definitely not bad. I, Old Sun, will taste it first!"
However, what the cultivators who wanted to snatch the Star Sky Pellet, as well as Big Sister Gu and Xiao Lingyu, never expected was that Great Sage Sun had actually arrived above the Xiao family's courtyard at some unknown time. Before Ling 'er could even touch the Star Sky Pellet, he actually grabbed the newly refined Star Sky Pellet and directly stuffed it into his mouth.
