"Fellow Daoist Qin, not just anyone can control the pill cauldron here with this Old Ancestor. This pill cauldron is the treasure that guards Nine Ruins Mountain. According to the records, it was passed down from the Founding Patriarch of Nine Ruins Mountain. This pill cauldron truly offers many wondrous benefits for refining pills, but driving it to refine pills is beyond what a Profound Tier cultivator can do. Once the pill cauldron begins operating, it requires the aid of Five Elements energy. The operating patterns and incantations are numerous and complicated. Since ancient times, who knew how many great Pill Dao masters had relied on this pill cauldron to refine pills? Yet only a scant few had succeeded."
Hearing that Qin Fengming wanted to borrow Nine Ruins Mountain's sect-protecting treasure to refine pills, Qing Hai Lian immediately spoke.
Qing Hai Lian had also tried using this pill cauldron several times. With his abilities, he could drive it smoothly enough to refine Profound Tier pills, but when it came to refining pills of a higher tier, he was simply unable to manage it.
Every time, his efforts ended in failure halfway through, and he could not continue.
It was not that his own magic power or soul energy had been exhausted. Rather, as the refining progressed, more and more pattern techniques and incantations were needed to drive the pill cauldron. Adding in the pattern techniques and incantations required to fuse the pills, their number would reach a shocking level. If he made even one oversight, the pill cauldron's operation would falter, interrupting the fusion process.
With low-tier pills, that was manageable. A cultivator could rely on powerful strength to straighten things out again. But with high-tier pills, there was no possibility of restoring the process. Failure was certain.
