For example, if Pill King Li had Lu Xiaotian's powerful nascent spirit and divination skills, he was confident that his attainments in pill dao would take another big step forward. He might even reach the peak of the fifth rank.
The Nine Palaces Subduing Fire Formation was refined with the Phaseless Profound Fire. In the entire Yehuo Wilderness, there was no other formation master who had such a spiritual fire of the Buddhist Sect. It was most likely carved by this kid himself. The amount of profound fire it could hold was thirty to forty percent more than when he used the Flaming Dawn Bead. Not only that, but the Nine Palaces Subduing Fire Formation inside was made from Profound Phaseless Fire. Aside from being able to hold more Profound Phaseless Fire, the process of subduing this violent Profound Flame was much faster than when Pill King Li had subdued the Sirong Spirit Fire himself.
The initial refinement went smoothly, but Pill King Li's expression didn't relax in the slightest. There were no mistakes during the refinement process. The only problem was that Lu Xiaotian's attainments in pill dao were still lacking. The Profound Phaseless Fire was wasted to a certain extent during the refinement process. Pill King Li had encountered this problem before, but he had stockpiled a large amount of Sirong Fire Essence at the time. If Lu Xiaotian's Profound Phaseless Fire wasn't enough, he wouldn't have anything to replenish it.
However, the one refining the pill was Lu Xiaotian. Pill King Li might be more skilled and experienced, but the one raising the cauldron was Lu Xiaotian. Pill King Li had hundreds of skills, but he couldn't put them to use. Moreover, with his body's current condition, he probably couldn't do what Lu Xiaotian was doing even if he did it himself. Old people don't rely on their muscles and bones.
Stalk after stalk of spirit plants were thrown into the pill furnace and turned into pill liquid. At this time, the pill liquid in the furnace was boiling endlessly. It kept rolling and rolling, and white steam rose from inside.
"Irongrain Wood, Hundred Star Leaf."
The liquid inside the cauldron steamed for several days and nights. Lu Xiaotian still threw the last of his spirit herbs into the cauldron. The liquid inside the cauldron continued to accumulate. Lu Xiaotian's forehead was also covered in sweat. Last time, he had failed at this step. He hadn't even been able to progress to the pill pulling step, and the entire cauldron of pill elixir had been scrapped.
At this time, the amount of liquid in the entire pill furnace had already exceeded the original estimate. No matter how good the deduction was, it was impossible for the control of the Phaseless Profound Fire to not have the slightest change. At present, Lu Xiaotian's control of the Phaseless Profound Fire was far from reaching this level. Since there was a change in the fire, even if it was an extremely slight change, it was enough to cause a chain reaction in the entire pill refining process. As a result, the pill liquid inside the pill furnace was slightly different from what he had originally estimated.
If it were those low level medicinal pills, Lu Xiaotian could easily give up and discard what should be given up in just a few seconds. This Buddha Dust Bone Cleansing Pill, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but be somewhat fearful. If he discarded it incorrectly, it was possible that the entire cauldron of elixir would be wasted in an instant.
"Follow your heart. If you're indecisive, you'll suffer instead!" At this time, seeing that the elixir in the cauldron was showing signs of overheating, Pill King Li didn't want to interfere with Lu Xiaotian's pill refining to prevent things from backfiring, but at this time, he had no choice but to stop Lu Xiaotian. Although he had pointed out Lu Xiaotian's problem before, everyone had their own way of dealing with things, whether it was pill refining or fighting against enemies. This was a habit that one had relied on for so long, and it wasn't something that could be easily changed with a few words.
"The wonders of the Dao lie in the indescribable. Your previous strengths are also the biggest shackles that bind you now."
"If you're indecisive, you'll suffer instead!"
Pill King Li's previous and present words were like a thunderclap that set off waves of violent waves in Lu Xiaotian's mind.
"This is bad, this is bad." Seeing that the elixir in the cauldron had begun to change, his expression couldn't help but change greatly. The Buddhist spiritual item he took back from the Thousand Sound Temple had already lost its effect. If the last batch of Buddha Dust Bone Cleansing Pill spirit materials were also wasted, his hopes would be completely gone.
"It's not that bad yet." Lu Xiaotian snorted coldly. The elixir in the cauldron had indeed deteriorated to a certain extent. Even if Pill King Li were at his peak, he wouldn't be able to save it. However, that wasn't necessarily the case for Lu Xiaotian. An unprecedentedly powerful consciousness enveloped the cauldron, causing the elixir in the cauldron to spin rapidly. Wisps of the elixir, which was beginning to emit a burnt smell, were flung out of the cauldron.
"This is …" Pill King Li's expression changed drastically. That powerful consciousness attack just now had almost pressed him to the ground, even if it wasn't aimed at him. The strength of Lu Xiaotian's consciousness was several times greater than what he'd expected. Even if Lu Xiaotian's nascent spirit was a little stronger than other Body Integration realm cultivators of the same level, he was already an anomaly. Pill King Li had come into contact with many Body Integration realm cultivators in his time of need, but the nascent spirit Lu Xiaotian had displayed at the most critical moment was something that even the experienced and knowledgeable Pill King Li found unbelievable.
Pill King Li narrowed his eyes. Was it really as simple as Lu Xiaotian had said? Was it really as simple as cultivating a nascent spirit? But no matter what, it was a good thing that Lu Xiaotian's strength was extraordinary. The elixir in the cauldron was once again pulled back to its normal path, and four tiny whirlpools appeared in the blink of an eye.
Each whirlpool began to suck in the elixir in the cauldron. Four elixirs in one cauldron! How bold! Pill King Li's eyes lit up. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Lu Xiaotian had taken the most crucial step. Once he did, Lu Xiaotian was no longer the third rank pill king he used to be. He had just entered the fourth rank, but he had already displayed extraordinary boldness and courage. Pill King Li came from the Pearl Buddhist Sect and had seen countless outstanding pill dao geniuses. However, even in the Pearl Buddhist Sect, there seemed to be no one of his peers who could be mentioned in the same breath as this person. Regardless of whether this cauldron of elixir succeeded or not, this person had already crossed the biggest hurdle. It was only a matter of time before he refined the corresponding elixir. On top of that, he had a powerful nascent spirit that shouldn't have been possessed by a pill king. In the entire Pearl Buddhist Sect, the number of people who could surpass him in pill dao could be counted on one hand. Pill King Li had no way of guessing how far this person would go in the future.
Such a genius in the Dao of alchemy was actually born in the wilderness and had not even obtained a complete inheritance of alchemy. To those fellows who came from reputable and orthodox families, it was truly a great irony.
Buzz! One of the whirlpools collapsed as it spun at high speed.
At the same time, the Profound Phaseless Fire inside the Fire Pearl of Morning suddenly surged to its greatest extent and enveloped the entire cauldron in layers. The fire seemed to want to melt the entire cauldron.
Another whirlpool collapsed. Bang! A palm struck out, and the top of the cauldron flew up. Two pure white elixirs, one strong and one weak, flew out from the cauldron. Lu Xiaotian reached out and grabbed the two elixirs into a pill bottle. There wasn't much joy on Lu Xiaotian's face right now. Instead, he was deep in thought as he carefully recalled the process of refining the elixir.
