Duanmu Cheng's movements were meticulous, all of them textbook level.
Finally, Qin Yi clenched his fists tightly. His gaze became extremely focused as he stared unblinkingly at the scene in front of him.
Now, it was the most crucial moment – the time to leap through the Dragon's Gate!
Whether it was a dragon or a worm, a treasure or a piece of trash, it all depended on the process of leaping through the Dragon's Gate!
Duanmu Cheng's face darkened, clearly aware of what he was about to do.
With that, he threw the last ingredient into the cauldron and closed the lid. The interior of the cauldron was completely sealed.
The high temperature quickly burned away all the air within, turning the interior into a vacuum.
Duanmu Cheng gradually calmed down, as though he was preparing for the calm before the storm. Like a carp about to leap through the Dragon's Gate, it was relaxing and accumulating energy.
The cauldron vibrated slightly as the spiritual herbs within began to condense into pills.
The slow fire continued to roast the huge cauldron. Duanmu Cheng stuck to his own principles and did not speak a single word to Qin Yi.
What he wanted was Qin Yi's own understanding.
After a while, the shaking of the cauldron finally calmed down. Duanmu Cheng's gaze suddenly changed at this moment.
"The Dragon's Gate has begun!"
Qin Yi was also a little excited. Without a doubt, he had never refined a special pill like the Dragon Transformation Pill before. Naturally, he was more interested in it.
"Hah!"
Duanmu Cheng shouted as the spiritual energy in his palms began to increase. The dancing flames beneath the cauldron suddenly became restless.
The flames seemed to have transformed into a dancing demon, laughing maniacally in the wind.
The temperature of the cauldron rose rapidly. The originally calm cauldron suddenly began to shake violently.
Evidently, this shaking was caused by the medicinal pill within the cauldron.
The medicinal pill within the cauldron seemed to have transformed into a carp, unleashing all its energy as it charged towards its target without hesitation.
Duanmu Cheng's forehead was covered in sweat. Even he had to expend a lot of energy to refine the Dragon Transformation Pill.
The vibrations from the pill cauldron grew more and more intense, while Duanmu Cheng's eyes grew more and more focused.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Qin Yi would never have imagined that the excitement of alchemy was sometimes even more intense than a martial arts battle.
During the Dragon Transformation stage, one could not slack off in the slightest. Once the supply of heat from the flames was insufficient, it would definitely lead to the failure of the pill refining process.
At the same time, the control of the flames still needed to be more precise.
If the heat was too high, the pill inside would not be able to withstand the high temperature and would directly shatter.
Duanmu Cheng handled the heavy task as though it was light. The entire process was extremely precise, without a single mistake.
During this period of time, the sweat on his body could be said to have never stopped. Sweat would instantly evaporate due to the high temperature of the cauldron.
An hour passed in the midst of this intense refining.
As Duanmu Cheng's stamina began to deplete, the flames below also began to shrink.
"Roar!"
Right at this time, a wild and tyrannical dragon roar suddenly came from inside the pill cauldron! The entire pill cauldron began to shake violently, as if there really was a huge dragon hiding inside, ready to break free at any time and soar into the sky.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the lid of the pill cauldron was blown away by a gust of white steam. Following that, an intoxicating scent of elixirs was emitted from within the pill cauldron, instantly filling the entire cave.
Duanmu Cheng slowly retracted the flames, then with a wave of his hand, he directly kept the pill inside the pill cauldron into his hand.
The Dragon Transformation Pill quietly floated in his palm, its entire body a crimson red, with intricate pill patterns on its surface. At a glance, the Dragon Transformation Pill looked like the eyeball of a huge dragon, giving off an immense pressure and an ancient and mysterious aura.
The Dragon Transformation Pill in front of him had reached the peak of the True Spirit grade, which meant that this was the highest quality pill that could be refined in this world.
"My precious disciple, did you clearly see the series of actions that I did just now?"
Whether it was because he was too tired, or because he was too focused, Duanmu Cheng did not have the slightest hint of a smile on his face, and his voice was unprecedentedly weak.
Qin Yi nodded his head, "This disciple has already engraved the entire process in my mind, I'm just waiting to personally test it out."
Ever since Duanmu Cheng started refining the pill, his attention had never wavered, and all his thoughts were on Duanmu Cheng and the pill cauldron.
"Then can you tell me, if you were the one refining the pill, how confident would you be in succeeding?"
Obviously, this was the question that Duanmu Cheng was most concerned about.
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, before raising his head, "If I were the one refining the pill, I believe the success rate would be around sixty percent."
"Sixty percent?"
Duanmu Cheng's eyes widened, feeling a sense of disbelief, "Disciple, I have to say that out of all the people I've met, you are the most confident one. Even I, the first time I refined the pill, I did not even have a thirty percent chance of success. "
Qin Yi rubbed his nose, smiled, and did not speak further.
To be honest, sixty percent was already a conservative estimate in his eyes. If he were to refine the pill himself, with his shocking memory and mimicry skills, he could easily imitate Duanmu Cheng's actions.
According to his estimation, his success rate would be at least ninety percent.
"Forget it."
Duanmu Cheng waved his hand and said, "I understand that you're young and impetuous. Failure is not a big deal, I've made sufficient preparations. Take a break, and after fifteen minutes, it will be your turn. Perhaps by then, you'll know what mistake you've made. "
It was obvious that Qin Yi's confident words, in Duanmu Cheng's eyes, represented his arrogance.
However, even though he knew that his disciple had made such a 'big mistake', he did not reprimand him. After all, he had enough time and capital to slowly erase the arrogance in Qin Yi's heart.
"Master …"
However, at that moment, Qin Yi suddenly spoke, "I want to start right away."
"You want to start now?"
Duanmu Cheng furrowed his brows as a sliver of displeasure appeared on his face. It was obvious that he had asked Qin Yi to take a break so that Qin Yi could calm down. After all, in the process of refining pills, conceit was always the biggest enemy.
However, looking at Qin Yi's eager expression, Duanmu Cheng swallowed the words of reprimand that were at the tip of his tongue.
