In the most heavily guarded Heaven Stage Earth Fire Pill Room in the Apothecary Manor, a blazing flame danced wildly. As the bright flame danced continuously, more and more medicinal liquid without a trace of impurities appeared!
Ling Dong's fingers danced briskly. Every time Ling Dong's fingers danced, a bright flame would be added to the burning flame in the air, making crackling sounds.
Every time Ling Dong's fingers danced, the medicinal liquid would nimbly flip over or change its form. In short, the impurities in the medicinal liquid would be exposed every time and then burned to ashes!
More than ten meters away, one of the three big shots of the Apothecary Manor of the Yaoguang Empire, Yuan Chen, was sitting cross-legged with his eyes wide open. Even though beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and into his eyes, he didn't dare to blink!
At this moment, Yuan Chen was also enduring the pain in his eyes. He was afraid that if he blinked, he would miss the most important opportunity! Yuan Chen knew very well that this was the only time in his life that he would be able to watch another Heavenly Pill Alchemist become an Elixir King!
However, the pain that Yuan Chen was going through right now was worth it!
As the saying goes, the layman only enjoys the show, while the expert appreciates the skill! In Yuan Chen's eyes, Ling Dong's complicated method of purifying medicinal ingredients, which resembled butterflies flitting through flowers, had already greatly benefited Master Yuan!
In just a few hours of careful observation, Yuan Chen had solved several difficult problems that he had accumulated during the process of refining pills. It made him feel like he was suddenly enlightened.
However, just solving those difficult problems wasn't enough. Yuan Chen's gains from watching Ling Dong refine pills could only increase his success rate and speed. It was still far from enough for him to become an Elixir King!
Gradually, as Ling Dong's pill refining technique became faster and faster, Yuan Chen's eyes widened. An extremely nervous expression even appeared on his face!
There was no other reason other than that Yuan Chen couldn't understand Ling Dong's pill refining technique at all. Not only was it because Ling Dong's alchemy technique was getting faster and faster, but it was also related to the flame that Ling Dong used today!
Today, Ling Dong had completely used the astral flames within his body to refine pills. In addition, Ling Dong had a slight grasp of the Laws of Fire. This allowed Ling Dong to refine pills with twice the effort for half the result. He could control the power of his flames as he wished without the slightest bit of sluggishness.
And in Ling Dong's powerful Divine Soul that is comparable to the Heavenly Dipper Realm middle and late stage powerhouse, any trace of change in the alchemy process is clear to the heart. This kind of observation ability allowed Ling Dong to make a judgment in the first moment, or change the intensity of the fire, or use a special alchemy technique. Every change was exquisite to the extreme.
However, Yuan Chen couldn't do it. He didn't have Ling Dong's observation ability at all, and he didn't have Ling Dong's astral flames that could change the intensity of the fire as he wished. Therefore, the more time passed, the more Yuan Chen couldn't see anything!
When it was time for Ling Dong to combine the ingredients, Yuan Chen, who felt that such a precious opportunity to observe the process of a Quasi-Alchemy King becoming a Pill King, was actually wasted by him. Yuan Chen was so anxious that he almost cried and scolded himself for being useless!
Even though he was so anxious that he almost cried, Yuan Chen still restrained his emotions to the extreme. Apart from the sound of his breathing, he didn't allow himself to make any unnecessary sounds!
If his voice affected Ling Dong's advancement to Pill King, then he, Yuan Chen, wouldn't be able to redeem himself even if he died a hundred times!
While Yuan Chen was extremely anxious, Ling Dong had sunk into a strange state!
Not long after he started refining the pills, Ling Dong seemed to have returned to the time when he was sitting cross-legged in the Connecting Heaven Palace's flame hall and comprehending the pill intents written on the palace walls!
The only difference was that while Ling Dong was comprehending the hundreds of different pill intents of different sizes, which contained hundreds of different alchemy techniques, there was a ball of flame burning in front of him. It was a ball of flame that was refining pills!
The current situation, in Ling Dong's opinion, was that while he was comprehending the precious pill intents, he was refining pills to verify and comprehend the precious pill intents.
Memorizing those pill intents was one thing, but completely mastering them was another! Originally, Ling Dong wanted to thoroughly comprehend these pill essences. But, according to the situation of Ling Dong's alchemy in the family a few days ago, it would take him several years of hard work!
But today, by chance, Ling Dong's soul strength was shocking. In addition, the flames used to refine pills were somewhat similar to the flames in the flame hall. Thus, he entered a state similar to that of a martial artist's epiphany!
Ling Dong easily solved all the difficult problems in refining pills. Whenever he encountered a difficult problem, the pill intents deeply imprinted in Ling Dong's mind would burst out and solve the problem for Ling Dong!
Gradually, Ling Dong threw in the last few medicinal liquids beside him. As the medicinal liquids spun continuously, a jade-colored round pill slowly took shape in the flames!
A powerful aura slowly leaked out from the jade-colored round pill. At almost the same time, Ling Dong felt the surrounding Heaven Earth Yuan Qi fluctuate violently. Seeing this, Ling Dong's expression couldn't help but become abnormally solemn!
Yuan Chen, who also felt this scene, was stunned. Yuan Chen's heart was beating wildly. "Could it be that it's about to succeed? A new Pill King is about to be born? "
While Yuan Chen's heart was beating wildly, Ling Dong's forehead was sweating profusely! The powerful soul strength left his body and began to suppress the jade-colored round pill, rejecting all kinds of energy!
It should be known that the medicinal herbs required to refine a Sky Grade Pill contained extremely powerful energy within each of them. This was also the source of the Sky Grade Pill's medicinal effects.
However, how to make these extremely powerful energies of different attributes peacefully fuse together was an extremely difficult matter. This was also the biggest problem to become a Heaven grade pill master!
If a pill master could solve this problem, he or she would already have one foot in the ranks of Heaven grade pill masters!
This was the problem that Ling Dong was facing now!
Gradually, Ling Dong's expression became more and more serious. The terrifying energy contained in the medicinal herbs was still fine if he didn't suppress it. But once he suppressed it, it became even more explosive. Even the medicinal herbs that had been successfully fused previously were extremely uneasy under this influence! Large droplets of sweat began to roll down Ling Dong's forehead!
A few minutes later, a colorful ball of light expanded to its limit. Just as an extremely terrifying aura was about to spread out, Ling Dong's palm suddenly spat out a flame.
"Peng!"
After a loud explosion, the colorful ball of light in front of Ling Dong suddenly turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared. Yuan Chen, who was worried that the pill was about to explode, heaved a sigh of relief!
The explosion of the pill had been dissipated by Ling Dong. However, Ling Dong's first attempt to become a Pill King was officially a failure. Ling Dong was still fine, but Yuan Chen, who was watching from afar, was a little depressed.
Just as Yuan Chen was thinking about how to console Ling Dong, Ling Dong, who had failed to refine the pill, closed his eyes in an extremely strange manner. He didn't move at all, and his expression was extremely serene!
Seeing this scene, Yuan Chen was shocked. His body trembled slightly, and his old face was a little shocked!
His mentality was actually worse than Ling Dong's, a young man in his twenties. Failing to refine pills was a common thing. At this time, the most important thing to do was to reflect on the gains and losses. Yuan Chen, on the other hand, was extremely depressed. His style was too far from Ling Dong's!
After waking up, Yuan Chen sat cross-legged on the ground like Ling Dong and thought about the gains he had made from watching Ling Dong refine pills!
.....
A day later, Ling Dong, who had carefully reflected on the reason for his failure, confidently controlled the flame to refine the pill again! The process of purifying the medicinal liquid this time was even faster than the previous time!
Ling Dong's movements were no longer sluggish, as if his entire body was made by nature! However, Yuan Chen, who was watching from the side, was still worried. He was worried about how Ling Dong would pass the final stage!
If he couldn't solve the reason for the pill explosion last time, he was afraid that he would fail again this time!
However, what surprised Yuan Chen was that the time Ling Dong spent since the beginning of the medicine fusion was two to three times more than the time he spent refining the pill the previous time! A full twelve hours had passed, and the medicine fusion was still not over!
Moreover, there were a few inexplicable changes in the process. Yuan Chen still couldn't figure out what they were used for!
However, on the other hand, if Yuan Chen was able to understand Ling Dong's Pill Refinement Technique from the Great Flame Hall, Yuan Chen wouldn't be far from becoming a Pill King!
What shocked Yuan Chen was that this time, the situation of the pill explosion didn't occur. An extremely fresh medicinal fragrance was vaguely being emitted. However, Yuan Chen's eyes were still fixed on it!
A faint circle of green and red radiance was emitted from the surface of the jade-colored pill that was enveloped by Ling Dong's Fire Gang. When it became denser and denser, Yuan Chen's expression became complicated and difficult to understand!
Yuan Chen carefully moved his feet towards the center of the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, where the cauldron was located!
After a few breaths, Yuan Chen, who was in the center of the room, suddenly raised his head and looked toward the transparent glass skylight at the top of the room!
Through the skylight, Yuan Chen saw a ball of green and red radiance churning in mid-air. The ball of light seemed to have a mysterious connection with the two radiances on the pill in front of Ling Dong's chest. It kept on seeping into the pill in front of Ling Dong's chest!
When he saw this scene, Yuan Chen's body trembled violently!
"The Divine Light Heaven Refining Pill … has actually succeeded. A new Pill King has finally appeared in the Yaoguang Empire!" Yuan Chen murmured in an almost inaudible voice. However, there was one sentence that Yuan Chen held back in his heart.
Just like when a couple got married, the groom wasn't him. Finally, someone had become a Pill King, but it wasn't him, Yuan Chen!
At this moment, looking at the two-colored radiance in mid-air, Yuan Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation and passion!
At this moment, it was early evening outside. That ball of clouds was especially eye-catching in the sky above the Alkaid Empire!
The moment that ball of two-colored clouds appeared, Alkaid City was in an uproar!
