Refining Medicine Once More

The next day

Inside a Secluded Courtyard on the south side of the Commerce City, the gate was tightly closed, and Spirit Array appeared in the sky above the courtyard, surging with spiritual light, blocking outsiders from prying eyes.

Xiao Ming in the courtyard, gazing at the sky outside, and smiled, "Looks like these little mice don't dare to make a move."

Behind him, Qing Yanjing nodded and calmly said, "There are too many people and too many eyes in the Commerce City, it's perfectly normal that they don't dare to make a move."

"Since they won't make a move, let's start refining the medicine." Xiao Ming shook his head, and with a sweep of his right hand, a large number of medicinal herbs appeared out of thin air, densely covering almost the entire courtyard. The rich Medicinal Fragrance spread, instantly turning this Secluded Courtyard into a sea of Medicinal Fragrance.

At the very front was a fruit no bigger than the palm of your hand. The fruit was dark yellow, and the tree patterns on it revealed its identity as the Withered Glory Divine Fruit.

Xiao Ming stretched out his right hand and took it in front of him. Instantly, a refreshing fragrance that did not match its withered yellow appearance wafted over, overpowering the aroma of the other herbs and clearing his senses.

"Those thirty million Supreme Spirit Liquid were well spent." Sensing the medicinal power contained in the fragrance, Xiao Ming couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This level of medicinal material is almost impossible to find in the Dou Qi Continent. Only in the Great Thousand World, with its abundant Spirit Qi and vast territory, can such a divine fruit be born so easily.

After praising him, Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his left arm. A faint glow emanated from his body, and in an instant, a continuous stream of colorful flames surged from his body and converged into the air.

The Emperor Flame has now absorbed the Azure Rock Green Flame, making its color thicker and more rustic. Its power can only be described as terrifying. In Xiao Ming's view, even without cultivating the Sovereign Immortal Body, a Heavenly Sovereign level expert would not fare well against the Emperor Flame!

Of course, this is on the premise that his spiritual power conversion is completely successful; otherwise, it would be too disadvantageous to fight against the Heavenly Sovereign without spiritual power in his body.

Especially those Heavenly Sovereign with Divine Vein, their Sovereign Immortal Body, and so-called Divine Vein Divine Ability supernatural powers are terrifyingly powerful!

However, once he obtains the Heavenly Origin Star Fruit in ten days, he will be able to recover his strength, and this Heavenly Sovereign of the same level will no longer be a threat to him.

As the Emperor Flame writhed and shifted in mid-air, an enormous, colorful Fire Cauldron materialized in the air.

Gather Fire into Cauldron!

The tripod had legs that were ten feet long, and its body was covered with fire patterns. These fire patterns seemed to outline dozens of flames of different shapes, and upon closer inspection, they appeared to be actually burning.

As it sways, it comes to life.

Upon seeing this, Qing Yanjing and Qing Tan both stepped back to maintain a safe distance.

The Fire Cauldron stood tall in mid-air, and a wisp of Emperor Flame slowly appeared on Xiao Ming's right hand, enveloping the Withered Glory Divine Fruit within it.

Soon, under Xiao Ming's control, the temperature of the Emperor Flame caused the Withered Glory Divine Fruit to quickly melt into a fist-sized, crystal-clear golden liquid.

A small clump of golden liquid separated and fell into the colorful cauldron in mid-air with a whoosh. Xiao Ming casually took out a Jade Bottle and put the rest into it.

The essence of the Withered Glory Divine Fruit is not needed to refine the pills that will restore Qing Yanjing's injuries; the remaining essence can be used to refine a Spirit Transformation Pill.

The golden essence that fell into the colorful cauldron floated quietly. Then, one by one, the spiritual herbs were sent into the cauldron by Xiao Ming. Immediately, flames rushed up and devoured the spiritual herbs.

These medicinal herbs were of a lower grade than the Withered Glory Divine Fruit. The Emperor Flame was terrifying; it extracted all the medicinal particles from the spiritual herbs in just a few breaths. Then, under Xiao Ming's meticulous manipulation, the medicinal power was pushed to its limit.

Most medicinal herbs can only yield a single drop of spiritual liquid, and within this liquid, there are extremely precise fluctuations of spiritual energy, like a dazzling pearl, radiating a faint glow.

Beside her, Qing Yanjing watched Xiao Ming's skillful alchemy techniques, her eyes flashing with admiration. Although she wasn't Alchemy Grandmaster, she came from Five Great Ancient Clans and naturally had some knowledge. Alchemy was not a simple matter; the cost of becoming a master alchemist was even greater than that of Spirit Array Master like herself. This further increased the rarity of high-level alchemists. In fact, due to the cost, many alchemists were extremely careful when refining pills, fearing that a single oversight would destroy all the medicinal materials they had painstakingly gathered.

Now, watching Xiao Ming's smooth and effortless movements, one sees no trace of caution or deliberation; instead, it is a pleasure to watch.

This isn't because the pill's grade is low. A healing elixir that can be used on Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection cannot be of low grade. If it's not because the pill's grade is low, then there's only another reason: Xiao Ming's alchemy skills far Exceeded the grade of this pill!

"Xiao Ming is at least Spirit Grade Alchemy Grandmaster!" Qing Yanjing murmured, somewhat shocked. Spirit Grade Alchemy Grandmaster are treated with respect wherever they go, even by the Ancient Futu Clan!

"Even if such a young Spirit Grade Alchemy Grandmaster were to marry me, the clan wouldn't object too much, would they..." She murmured, then suddenly realized what she was thinking, a faint blush rising to her pretty face, a slight embarrassment creeping over her. "Oh dear, Qing Yanjing, what are you thinking..."

Qing Tan remained relatively calm. She had a certain understanding of her master's alchemy skills. Back in the Tian Xuan Continent, Xiao Ming had practiced alchemy in front of her several times, so she was somewhat immune to the scene before her.

Time flowed swiftly as Xiao Ming refined his medicine.

Between sunset and moonrise, nine days had passed.

Strange phenomena frequently occurred in the courtyard, causing the boiling spiritual energy to tremble even in the void. The phenomena of dragons soaring and tigers leaping seemed to be permeated with unparalleled divine power.

Although the strange phenomenon did not spread to the outside world due to the Spirit Array, the Spirit Array did not prevent the gathering of Spirit Qi the surrounding area as the elixir was about to be formed.

This flow of Spirit Qi permeated the entire Commerce City, causing the whole Commerce City to feel the movement.

Countless eyes, both open and covert, were cast upon this small courtyard, wondering to themselves, "When did the Commerce City acquire another Alchemy Grandmaster?"

Only those who had secretly spied on Xiao Ming during the auction knew that they were the ones living inside.

However, they were also secretly surprised to find out which of the three was the Alchemy Grandmaster. The Fire Spirit Race members were particularly surprised. After much thought, Huo Mo concluded that the injured Earth Sovereign was the Alchemy Grandmaster.

The pretty boy conducting the auction was just a decoy; the items obtained at the auction were meant to validate this idea. Alchemists would bid on Spirit Fire and Withered Glory Divine Fruit in order to refine pills for healing. Perhaps after this Pill Formation, this Earth Sovereign will regain his strength.

Even after reaching this conclusion, Huo Mo remained calm. He had also investigated the backgrounds of the three men, who were unknown figures from out of town and had no local power to rely on. So what if this Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection regained his strength and was Alchemy Grandmaster? Elder Yan was someone Touching Heavenly Sovereign!

He was confident of victory!
