After Xuan Kongzi summoned the Medicine Cauldron, he announced that the alchemy process had officially begun.
Gu He flicked his right hand, and blue-black flames tore through the air and swept into the Medicine Cauldron. They immediately blazed within it, their terrifying heat warping the air inside in an instant.
This time, Gu He was merely assisting. He was responsible for the simplest tasks: refining the medicinal ingredients and nurturing the pill. Xuan Kongzi and the other two were responsible for merging the ingredients and forming the pill.
Seeing that the cauldron had been warmed, Xuan Kongzi waved his right hand. Countless medicinal ingredients flew out of his Ring, forming a sea of herbs around the four of them.
Refining a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill was extraordinarily complicated. There were over a thousand main and supplementary ingredients combined. The process required extracting the medicinal essence from all those herbs, then drawing in the energy of heaven and earth from the surrounding space to ensure that the pill could ultimately take shape.
As he looked at the vast variety of medicinal ingredients, Gu He's expression gradually turned solemn. He made grasping motions with both hands, and the herbs floating in midair were continuously thrown into the Medicine Cauldron.
The instant the herbs entered the cauldron, the blue-black flames swept over them and swallowed them whole. The blue-black flames immediately grew deeper in color.
While Gu He refined the medicinal ingredients, Xuan Kongzi and the other two also wrapped their Soul Power in their respective flames and sent it into the Medicine Cauldron. Once Gu He had finished refining the herbs, they would be ready to begin merging them at any time.
Sensing the three men's Soul Power enter the cauldron, Gu He voluntarily lowered the temperature of the blue-black flames near them.
