Pill Furnace Explosion, Master Li's Genius Idea!

The flames in the Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace were significantly more intense than those from the previous batch of Green Snake Blood Spirit Pill.

The enormous Pill Furnace now resembled a volcanic mountain, radiating astonishing heat.

The inside of the furnace was like a world of flames.

The wind follows the dragon, the clouds follow the tiger.

The flames within the Pill Furnace, controlled by Xue Jing, surged and spit out like Dragon and Tiger, creating a truly ever-changing spectacle.

This truly has the grand and sophisticated feel of 'alchemy'.

Even more strangely, Tang Xiaobao sat inside the Pill Furnace without being harmed at all.

The temperature of this flame is so high that anyone who jumps into it at the Inner Breath Realm will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

However, Tang Xiaobao's entire body radiated a bright light.

Furthermore, as time went on and the temperature rose, the halo of light became brighter and brighter.

"Master, that's about enough."

"It's time to add the ingredients; I'm ready."

Tang Xiaobao's voice drifted out from the Pill Furnace.

"Um."

"I have been preparing for this for a long time!"

Xue Jing, a powerful expert at the Inner Scene Realm, had beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

It has lasted for more than four thousand years.

Xiao Bao finally gained sentience in his generation and transformed from a dantian into a human.

Finally, it had the opportunity to be refined again and become a true Nine-Orifice Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill Elixir.

Of course, it's just an opportunity; the chances are slim.

Cauldron Peak hasn't produced a Grandmaster of Dao of Alchemy for many years, and even he is still quite a distance from that level.

Moreover, the Nine-Orifice Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill was refined by the Great Shang using up its entire national treasury.

The current Cauldron Peak no longer possesses that kind of foundation...

But he had to give it a try.

Li Mo couldn't help but slow his breathing, feeling a little nervous.

On both sides, the wooden boxes that had been placed there beforehand were suddenly opened one by one.

These are all rare and precious treasures, each exuding a pure and exquisite aura.

"Come!"

Xue Jing extended his palm.

A Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs plant fell into his palm, and in a short while, it completed its initial preparations and underwent preliminary refinement.

Next came the second plant, then the third plant.

In an instant, dozens of Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs were refined and simultaneously thrown into the Pill Furnace, where they were rapidly purified.

This is the necessary time requirement for refining the Nine-Orifice Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill.

Missing the optimal time will only make the process more difficult.

"Master, I'll help you too!"

Tang Xiaobao finished speaking.

Thump--

Thump--

A strange vibration, as if coming from the heart inside the chest cavity.

Li Mo saw it clearly.

He saw a faintly beating 'heart' on Tang Xiaobao's chest.

Through the firelight, it was difficult to see clearly; only the flickering golden light could be seen.

"The crucial moment has arrived."

Li Mo made his judgment based on his own experience.

Yes, experience in cooking.

Ironically, he guessed right.

The most difficult and crucial moment is when the various medicinal properties of the elixir fuse together.

This requires Xue Jing to concentrate on many things, mastering the temperature, resistance, and characteristics of all the materials, and then combining them together at the appropriate time.

He couldn't possibly do it alone.

Fortunately, the 'elixir' being refined in the Pill Furnace was working in concert with him from the inside out.

As the heartbeat grew stronger, large amounts of the medicinal liquid adhered to Tang Xiaobao's body and slowly dissolved.

This also made the precious light emanating from his body even stronger.

A strong, exotic fragrance also burst forth.

"So this is the taste of Senior Brother Xiao Bao."

Li Mo finally understood what the smell that permeated the entire Cauldron Peak was.

The aroma alone makes you feel a few years younger.

A look of delight flashed in Xue Jing's eyes.

Could it be that...

Li Mo held his breath.

Could it be that...?

The thought didn't even have time to form.

Boom--

The next second.

A violent explosion occurred on Tang Xiaobao's body, and the fire energy completely went out of control. The Pill Furnace, which was visible to the naked eye, was lifted three feet off the ground before suddenly falling back to the ground.

The ground cracked and instantly caved in.

The furnace lid was propelled into the sky by the powerful air pressure, flying extremely high.

The oven exploded.

"Senior Brother Xiao Bao?"

Li Mo's heart skipped a beat.

With such a huge commotion, and that small body right at the epicenter of the explosion, I hope nothing bad will happen to her.

Xue Jing was sweating profusely and quickly used his domain to disperse the black smoke.

Slipped away~

A small figure flew out, still carrying a few embers, and landed on the open ground.

Tang Xiaobao's eyes were tightly closed, and his entire body was pitch black, as if he had been dug out of a coal pile.

"Xiao Bao?!"

Xue Jing called out several times, but there was no response.

"Don't panic, Elder Xue."

Li Mo planned to first use his Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye to examine the patient, and then decide what kind of medicine to use to treat him.

However, when the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye opened, he was stunned.

"Hey-hey."

Tang Xiaobao suddenly opened his eyes, grinned, and revealed a mouthful of white teeth:

"Scared you? I was just pretending~"

Xue Jing: "..."

Li Mo: "..."

You're really clueless.

Xiao Bao, you really need to be more careful!

Xue Jing was originally quite frustrated, but after his antics, his frustration dissipated somewhat, and he even felt a bit amused and exasperated.

He gave Tang Xiaobao a disapproving look before sighing:

"We gave it our all this time, but we still failed."

"It seems that Xiao Bao, you cannot be fulfilled in my hands. It's a pity that my abilities are limited..."

After sighing, Xue Jing looked utterly exhausted.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Tang Xiaobao smacked his lips.

When the master Divine Observation Realm, he was observing him.

If this doesn't work, what else can we do?

"Cough."

"How about we try again?"

At this moment, Li Mo, who had been deep in thought, suddenly spoke.

Both master and apprentice looked at him at the same time.

Xue Jing shook his head:

"I no longer have enough rare treasures. What Xiao Bao needs for his training is..."

Snap--

Slap slap slap--

From Li Mo's sleeve, hundreds of boxes and bottles, some made of wood and some of jade, fell out like water, piling up into a small mountain.

He said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Look at these, are any of them useful?"

"Soul-Rinsing Grass... Seven-Heart Flower... Earth Vein Spirit Milk... Hmm? And it's ten thousand years old?"

Tang Xiaobao didn't even need to open it to know what was inside.

Xue Jing: "?"

He remained silent for a long time before taking a deep breath and saying earnestly:

"Xiao Mo, we can't do anything illegal or disorderly."

You're probably not off raiding some sect's treasure vault, are you?!

Hmm, when infiltrating the Drizzle Pavilion, it's quite possible...

"You've misunderstood; you know me."

Li Mo smiled shyly:

"How could someone as approachable, gentle, kind, and frugal as me have turned to crime?"

"These were just unexpected gains."

Xue Jing seemed to believe this explanation; he stroked his beard, but still shook his head.

"Even if we had the materials, if Xiao Bao and I tried a thousand or ten thousand times, the result would be about the same."

"We both did our best just now."

There are probabilistic fluctuations in alchemy, but that is within the limits of one's abilities.

"What if I were included?"

Li Mo tentatively asked.

"Including you?"

Xue Jing was confused.

"But Junior Brother Li, although your Internal Breath is powerful, you don't know how to refine pills."

Tang Xiaobao was also puzzled.

Chef Li coughed lightly and said solemnly:

"I have a bold idea."

"Why don't I just go into the Pill Furnace with Senior Brother Xiao Bao?"

"At that time, my Internal Breath will merge with this Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace, Elder Xue can use it to extract impurities from the pill ingredients."

"Then during the refining process, I only need to absorb the medicinal power escaping from Senior Brother Xiao Bao's body to prevent it from going out of control and exploding."

Incidentally, we can also practice our skills and increase our cultivation level. He was just worried about how to quickly refine the Golden Crow Blood in his kidneys!

That's killing two birds with one stone!

Little Li really thinks he's a fucking genius!!
