Chapter Summaries

Tang Zhen gathered alchemists in Fenyen Valley to find two who could endure the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire and help him refine a Seventh-grade High-level pill.

Tang Zhen, Master Huan, and Master Xiao attempted to refine a Seventh-grade High-level Pill with the Mountain Molten Cauldron and Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire. After six days of work, Master Xiao and Master Huan collapsed during the final fusion, leaving the medicinal essences on the verge of going berserk and Tang Zhen believing the refinement had failed.

He set out for Yin Valley with Luo Yinzhu, leaving with offers of support from both Yin Valley and Fenyen Valley.

• Liu Xi refined the medicinal ingredients into a colorful pool of medicinal water, which became a steaming, blood-red Blood Pool after three days and nights.
