Brewing Pills
Honestly, Heavenly Flame Venerable considered himself a Dou Zun expert, and he wasn't without his share of extravagance, but the description of "taking a dip"...
In conclusion, Xiao Yan brought a small shock to Alchemist Tianhuo regarding Heavenly Flame Venerable.
Xiao Yan didn't care about this. After Yun Shan took the Soul Cleansing Pill, he felt a little weak and asked for a Soul Recovery Pill. Old Yao and left them for Xiao Yan in case of emergency.
Heavenly Flame Venerable swallowed the Soul Recovery Pill and returned to the Jade Slip to nourish his soul.
Xiao Yan put the Jade Slip into the Storage Ring he had obtained from Heavenly Flame Venerable, put away the Heavy Black Ruler, and, holding the Myriad Beast Cauldron, rushed up from the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower once again.
Seeing Xiao Yan return safely, Su Qian also flew over carrying something that looked like a stove.
Xiao Yan opened the Myriad Beast Cauldron and put away the Sea Lotus Heart Flame. The Fallen Heart Flame, which had been sealed inside, escaped in terror and eventually entered the furnace under Su Qian's guidance.
Looking at this extremely docile Fallen Heart Flame, and then thinking back to the incredibly violent thing from before, Su Qian sighed.
"Great Elder, how are the injuries of the other elders?" Xiao Yan asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Qian sighed again, "It's not optimistic. The four Dou Emperor level elders are alright, they were just pierced by the Fallen Heart Flame Origin Fire Seed, so their injuries are limited in scope."
"Those eighteen elders at the Dou Wang level all suffered damage to their meridians. Although they took Fifth Grade Pill, it was not enough to fully heal them."
After speaking, Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of anticipation. "The Thousand Hundred Elders, found a few Earth Core Pearl in the Library Pavilion. I wonder if you could refine some Sixth Grade Pill to treat these elders."
"Of course." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, then continued, "However, I have one more request."
"Tell me, and I'll do my best to solve anything that Jia Nan Academy can do!"
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "I am already a Seventh Grade Alchemist and plan to break through to the Eighth Grade. Therefore, I hope that Jia Nan Academy can collect some rare and precious materials rich in Soul Power. In return, I can refine two Seventh Grade Pills, the Supreme Pill, for Thousand Hundred Elders to help them break through to the Dou Zun Realm."
Upon hearing this, Su Qian's face was initially filled with astonishment, but it was instantly replaced by a look of ecstatic joy. "Then I'll leave it to you. Jia Nan Academy will definitely do its utmost to help!"
"I also hope that the Great Elder will inform the Xiao Clan and the Jia Ma Empire, and urge them to take action," Xiao Yan added.
Great Elder Su Qian left in a hurry, and Xiao Yan then returned to his dormitory to look for Xiao Yi Xian.
The Gu Family is now the most powerful force in the Inner Courtyard, and it's bustling with people coming and going.
However, Xiao Yan paid no attention to these new students, but instead looked at an Alchemist who was the center of attention.
The Alchemist was Xin Lan, nothing particularly noteworthy. What caught Xiao Yan's attention was a purple-haired little girl squatting next to the medicine cauldron, drooling.
Just as Xiao Yan was looking at Zi Yan, she seemed to sense something and turned her head to look in Xiao Yan's direction.
"Xiao Yan!" Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she pounced on Xiao Yan, crashing into his chest.
Xiao Yan was so badly hit that he almost couldn't breathe. He immediately grabbed Zi Yan by the back of her collar and pulled her aside.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" Xiao Yan said irritably, grabbing Zi Yan's little face. He had to admit, the little girl's skin was really nice.
"Ugh... Ugh..." Zi Yan struggled desperately, but she was no match for Xiao Yan.
After having his fill of playing with her, Xiao Yan rubbed Zi Yan's head and gave her two Primal Qi Augmentation Pills.
Sensing the terrifying energy contained in the Pills, Zi Yan immediately beamed with joy and decided to forgive Xiao Yan's earlier offense.
Zi Yan carefully put away the two Pills, and then handed Xiao Yan a Storage Ring, saying, "I searched that mountain thoroughly, but I couldn't find the Form Transformation Grass; however, I have prepared two or three portions of other Medicinal Herbs besides the Form Transformation Grass."
Xiao Yan took the Storage Ring and said, "I understand. Just wait, I'll have someone search for the Form Transformation Grass."
Zi Yan then happily went to find a place to cultivate and Primal Qi Augmentation Pill in seclusion.
After seeing the little brat off, Xiao Yan naturally went to do some things that adults should do...
Xiao Yi Xian did not slack off in his cultivation during this period, but since he did not use the Fallen Heart Flame to temper his Dou Qi and create Fire Toxin, his speed inevitably slowed down - and he is now only a Seven Star Dou Emperor.
Qing Lin is in a similar situation. After breaking through to the Dou Wang, the effectiveness of fifth-tier Snake Magical Beast on her has greatly decreased. Now she is only a Three Star Dou King.
Xiao Yan then resumed his alchemy endeavors.
First, there's the Blood Burning Spirit Ascension Pill, to be fed to the Snake Magical Beast with Qing Lin. If they die, their Magical Core will be harvested to replace them with new ones. Then there's the Primal Qi Augmentation Pill and some other Pills to feed the Magical Beast, in preparation for Zi Yan and Xiao Lan's breakthroughs.
In addition, there are some Healing Medicine for the elders of the Jia Nan Academy, Imperial Pill Sect Breaking Pill that can be used by themselves or auctioned off, as well as Pills to restore Soul Power.
Finally, the main event: the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill for the resurrection of Heavenly Flame Venerable and the Supreme Pill for Thousand Hundred Elders. Both of these Pills are Seventh Grade Advanced Pill, and if infused with spiritual energy, they can easily reach the Eighth Grade level. They are extremely difficult to refine.
Moreover, the Medicinal Herbs required for these two Pills are ridiculously precious. Only two portions of the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill have been collected, and only five portions of the Supreme Pill have been gathered.
This was achieved by mobilizing the forces of the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Clan, Jia Ma Empire, and even Mu Lan Empire to plunder the herbs. If they fail, it will be difficult to gather the Medicinal Herbs again in a short period of time.
However, there are solutions.
For example, if the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill fails, it can be replaced with the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill, a low-grade seventh-rank Pills; if the Supreme Pill fails, one can simply put up with it...
So, Xiao Yan first refined the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill to get a feel for it.
Because this time he was refining Seventh Grade Pill, Xiao Yan put in far more effort than when refining Fifth Grade- or Sixth Grade Pill, and thus discovered a surprising fact—
Those refined medicinal powders or liquids contain a small amount of subtle spiritual Spiritual Qi, something only Spirit Realm Soul or Eighth Grade Alchemist can achieve.
In other words, Xiao Yan's Soul Realm has already touched the threshold of the Spirit Realm!
Although the process of condensing the pill becomes more difficult, the quality of the final pill will also be greatly improved.
For example, a low-grade seventh-rank Pills like the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill is not enough to attract Pill Lightning; at most, it can only attract some thunderclouds to make a sound.
After being mixed with wisps of Spiritual Qi, its quality was directly comparable to Seventh Grade Advanced Pill, ultimately attracting dozens of Silver Thunder that struck Xiao Yan, leaving him crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
After this unforgettable experience, Xiao Yan resolved not to use Pill Lightning to cultivate the Peerless Prison Body so easily anymore. He had no affinity for lightning attributes and felt more comfortable with the Heavenly Flames.
Later, when refining the Supreme Pill, Xiao Yan asked the Thousand Hundred Elders, to be his left and right protectors. The two elders were very interested in the Pills that could help them break through to the Dou Zun, and readily agreed.
As for the extra two portions of Supreme Pill and Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill Medicinal Herbs, Xiao Yan simply chose to keep them for himself, planning to refine them later after breaking through to the Eighth Grade Alchemist.
