Setting Up a Stall

The Profound Fire Alchemy Art used profound fire in place of an ordinary flame, and it could also use inner force to control the refining of pills. This allowed the Spirit Medicine to be extracted and fused more thoroughly.

Once the medicinal ingredients were added to the furnace, the flames heated the liquid inside until it boiled. Driven by inner force, the ingredients were then refined.

The liquid in the furnace sometimes spun, sometimes surged like waves, and sometimes crossed over itself as it refined the ingredients. Before long, the entire medicinal plant had been ground to powder and dissolved into the liquid, deepening its color considerably.

The fragrance of the medicine wafted from the furnace. Its medicinal properties emerged countless times faster than they had with the stirring method.

Fang Mo carefully controlled the refining process, adding different ingredients at the right moments to refine and fuse them. Soon, all seven ingredients had been refined. He began the deeper fusion stage, simmering them over a low flame.

Half an hour later, the liquid had grown extremely thick. Seeing that the medicinal properties had fused to their utmost, Fang Mo began forming the pills.

He spun the liquid with his inner force and used the heat to evaporate it, condensing it into pills.

This step required great care. The technique of spinning the liquid to form pills was crucial: too much heat would burn the medicine, while too little would fail to form pills. If the process went too far, the medicine would lose its potency and become waste.

However, Fang Mo had already become extremely skilled at controlling his inner force, so the process was swift.

Soon, the liquid solidified into shape and, under the spinning force of his inner power, separated into individual pills. Their rich fragrance began
