In the Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Yan was seated on a stone platform in the middle of a plaza. In front of him was a huge green-gold medicinal cauldron. At this moment, a fierce flame was burning in the medicinal cauldron. The fierce flame was like a ferocious beast roaring in the medicinal cauldron. If it was not for the seal of the medicinal cauldron, one would think that it would run out and cause trouble.
After receiving the First Elder's invitation, Xiao Yan began to refine medicine in front of everyone in the Burning Flame Valley. Due to there being quite a number of alchemist disciples in the valley, he could be considered to have taught them a good lesson. Of course, even if they were not disciples of alchemists, they would more or less gain some inspiration after seeing Xiao Yan refine medicine today. This kind of observation was extremely beneficial to these disciples.
It was a long while later when the temperature within the medicinal cauldron reached a level that Xiao Yan was satisfied with. Only then did he flick his finger. The storage ring on his finger immediately flickered. Soon after, numerous rays of light shot out and floated in midair under the cover of his Spiritual Strength. When the light disappeared, it transformed into numerous precious medicinal ingredients. The enormous number of medicinal ingredients filled the sky above the open ground, appearing like a dense dark cloud that covered the entire place, causing one to be stunned when one looked at it.
This time, Xiao Yan planned to refine ten Mirror Breaking Pills in one go.
After taking out the medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yan immediately slapped his palm on the medicinal cauldron. Following a powerful collision sound, the lid of the medicinal cauldron immediately opened. Before the flame within could soar into the sky, the medicinal ingredients were thrown into the medicinal cauldron under the control of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength. Immediately, the refining process began.
Relatively speaking, the 'Breaking Mirror Pill' was one of the tier five medicinal pills that was easier to refine. The refining process was not difficult. However, due to the quantity involved, it was definitely a great exhaustion on Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength.
The attribute of the medicinal ingredients needed for the 'Breaking Mirror Pill' was mostly cool. Hence, the speed at which Xiao Yan refined the medicinal ingredients was naturally a little faster. If an ordinary alchemist needed eight hours to refine these medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yan would only need less than half of that time. Even if he refined ten medicinal ingredients for the 'Breaking Mirror Pill' at the same time this time around, he would only need an additional hour. Of course, the main reason for this was naturally the 'Heavenly Flame'.
Under the frighteningly high temperature of the 'Heavenly Flame', the little toughness that these medicinal ingredients possessed was completely obliterated. Just from this point alone, one could tell how frightening the 'Heavenly Flame' was.
Once all the herbs had been refined, it was time to fuse the essences of the herbs together. The entire process was long and slow, and at the same time, it tested the alchemist's soul strength. Especially when fusing ten Breaking Mirror Pills at the same time, the consumption of soul strength was absolutely terrifying. At this stage, even with Xiao Yan's self-confidence, his heart couldn't help but be somewhat agitated.
During the process of fusing ten Breaking Mirror Pills, anything could happen. The situation of fusing the medicinal properties of each medicinal pill was different. Therefore, Xiao Yan had to be able to do ten things at once. The difficulty of this was self-evident.
Time flashed by. In the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed. Within the medicinal cauldron in front of Xiao Yan, the ten sticky medicinal paste balls had already been separated into a region. All the medicinal pills were gradually fusing and taking shape under Xiao Yan's meticulous refinement. Once the embryonic pill was formed, the rest would be the time to nurture the pill.
Success was imminent, and everything seemed especially calm. However, at this moment, bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down from Xiao Yan's forehead. The black robe on his body had already been wet countless times, and his originally rosy face appeared somewhat pale at this moment. He clenched his teeth, held his breath, and stared intently at the medicinal cauldron in front of him. Boundless soul strength wrapped around the entire medicinal cauldron, and an invisible storm swept out in all directions with Xiao Yan at the center. The entire square had already been cordoned off by the First Elder, Li Chengxu. Any disciple who stepped within a hundred feet of the square would be alerted. Everyone was worried about Xiao Yan's current situation, but no one dared to step forward and disturb him.
At this time, even the area where Xiao Yan was at had been sealed off by the Burning Heaven Ancestor. There was no wind blowing, no grass moving, and no external disturbances. The embryonic pills within Xiao Yan's medicinal cauldron were completed one by one.
"Chi …"
Just as Xiao Yan watched the ten embryonic pills take shape one by one, one of the pills instantly turned into ashes due to the trembling of Xiao Yan's breath.
In an instant, Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and his entire aura came to a standstill. Only when the rest of the pills in the medicinal cauldron were completed and formed into embryonic pills did he carefully and nervously exhale.
Once the embryonic pills were formed, he finally had a chance to take a breather. The Heavenly Flame slowly merged all the medicinal energy within the embryonic pills, and Xiao Yan took this opportunity to rest. After a few minutes, it would be the time for the final pill to be formed.
Pill Formation!
The process of pill formation could be said to be simple, but it could also be said to be difficult. Using the remaining Spirit power, one had to grasp the temperature that the pill needed to withstand at every moment. The slightest deviation would affect the quality of the entire pill. The most unbearable thing was that it required an even longer time.
Every time this happened, an alchemist would not have much Spirit power left, but they would have to be even more careful to ensure the stability of the pill formation process. This was an even greater test of one's willpower and Spirit power.
At this time, Xiao Yan would already find it difficult to form pills, let alone refine nine pills at the same time.
There was no fixed time during the pill formation process. When Xiao Yan felt that the pill formation was complete, the Spirit power in his body was almost exhausted, and even the majority of his Genesis Qi had been consumed. His entire spirit was numb, his face was pale, and his eyes were lifeless and red. His mouth was dry, and even opening his mouth seemed to take some effort. It was as if his entire body no longer belonged to him.
But it was at this moment …
"Rumble …"
A familiar sound finally rang out. This was the moment that Xiao Yan had been waiting for. The lightning appeared, and the pill was formed.
However, the Pill Lightning this time around was very different from the past. The rolling furious thunder sounded ten times in a row. The frightening pressure that covered the sky had also become extremely shocking. At the same time, a couple of experts from the Burning Flame Valley arrived above Xiao Yan's head. They were prepared to help him receive the Pill Lightning.
"Xiao Yan, you should rest first. Leave these pill lightning to us!"
Laughter rang out as first elder Li Chengxu raised his head. He gazed at the lightning in the sky as the Genesis Qi in his body slowly circulated.
In the next instant, pill lightning descended from the dark clouds, and Li Chengxu's figure moved. But it was also at this moment that …
Swish!
The sound of rushing air suddenly rang out beside Li Chengxu's ear. Before he could do anything, it collided with the dragon-like lightning in the sky!
