Reforging the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, a Tier 8 Medicinal Pill!
"Yan'er, refining pills is not as simple as you think."
As a stable energy entity, a pill is essentially the result of the interaction of various attributes and characteristics of energy within it.
"If you want to add new energy to it, you need to add another type of energy that can counterbalance the new energy, which means adding new Medicinal Herbs, understand?" The Yao Lao hovered in the air, pointing and speaking.
Xiao Yan nodded knowingly. "Teacher, I understand."
As he spoke, he took out a number of high-grade Medicinal Herbs from his Storage Ring. Many of these Medicinal Herbs could be used as the main ingredients for Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, making them extremely precious to him.
"I hope it works out," Xiao Yan said, feeling a pang of heartache.
He didn't possess many Medicinal Herbs of the main ingredient level for Tier 7 Medicinal Pill.
However, such sacrifices were inevitable in order to improve his alchemy skills, and Xiao Yan could only comfort himself that perhaps these Medicinal Herbs would actually work after he used them.
"Teacher, let's begin!"
Xiao Yan, in one go, threw the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill directly into the Medicine Cauldron.
Under the burning of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, the originally golden pill slowly melted, and drops of crystal-clear liquid separated out, forming clumps.
During this process, Xiao Yan discovered that the formula for the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill was extremely ingenious, with the combination of various Medicinal Herbs being nothing short of perfect.
Although the Medicinal Herbs used were not particularly high-grade, and the Magic Core were only two Sixth-Rank Magical Core, it was precisely because of the characteristics of these Medicinal Herbs, either complementing or stimulating each other, that these Medicinal Herbs achieved a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts, allowing the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill to directly reach the High Seventh Grade level.
"Teacher, there's simply no room for optimization in your combination of Medicinal Herbs. Adding new energy directly makes it extremely difficult to achieve a synergistic effect where one plus one equals more than two," Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's right, this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill is my masterpiece."
However, my alchemy skills have also improved considerably through my research. With you and me working together, we can still optimize this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill!
Xiao Yan nodded, full of fighting spirit. "Alright!"
Next, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao selected Medicinal Herbs together, recalling Medicinal Herbs properties and considering the appropriate Medicinal Herbs.
The master and apprentice often argued, and it took them quite a while to reach an agreement.
After the Medicinal Herbs were added, they even started arguing about Medicinal Herbs extraction methods and where to begin the refining process.
When to Pill Fusion, when to inject energy—each step was decided amidst the debate between Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
Time passed, second by second.
Gradually, the sky brightened.
Inside the Myriad Beast Cauldron, under Xiao Yan's control, clusters of medicinal liquid were precisely integrated into the original Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill liquid.
The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill's medicinal liquid mingled with the new medicinal liquid, causing it to shake and seemingly on the verge of disintegrating.
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao frowned, their expressions serious, but they remained calm.
With Yao Lao's nod of approval, Xiao Yan controlled the special energy transformed from the Myriad Beast Cauldron and integrated it into the medicinal liquid.
In an instant, the previously unstable medicinal liquid clump was like a spinning vortex colliding with another spinning vortex in the opposite direction. The two vortexes collided and canceled each other out, and the medicinal liquid clump miraculously stabilized.
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The first step was a success, which meant that his approach was correct. All that was left was to repeat the steps.
Xiao Yan concentrated his attention and focused intently on controlling the medicinal liquid to merge into the pool of medicinal liquid. With each merging of the medicinal liquid, he also infused it with special energy.
As the medicinal liquid clump grew larger and larger, containing more and more energy, Xiao Yan finally stopped.
"Condense the elixir!" the Yao Lao master said.
Xiao Yan nodded, unleashing his spiritual power and pouring his Dou Qi into the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, making it even hotter.
With spiritual power as the primary force and the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame as the secondary force, the medicinal liquid within the Medicine Cauldron was surrounded and compressed by the two forces, causing its volume to slowly decrease.
The shape of the elixir began to emerge, and wisps of enticing medicinal fragrance seeped from the Medicine Cauldron.
Xiao Yan took a whiff and felt a wave of comfort wash over him. He exclaimed, "This pill is probably of an extraordinary grade. It might even be Half-Step Tier 8 Medicinal Pill."
"With our combined efforts, master and disciple, refining Half-Step Tier 8 Medicinal Pill is not a problem."
"Besides..." The Yao Lao glanced at the ground. Of the high-grade Medicinal Herbs that Xiao Yan had taken out and spread all over the surrounding ground, only a dozen or so that were not suitable for the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill remained scattered and were not added to the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill.
Xiao Yan Xiao Yan threw in most of the Medicinal Herbs, enough to refine several Tier 7 Medicinal Pill Medicinal Herbs, which accounted for at least one-fifth of his wealth.
It's no exaggeration to say that the energy provided by these Medicinal Herbs is enough to refine an Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.
"Yan'er, if the quality of this pill is lower than that of Half-Step Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, you'll suffer a huge loss." The Yao Lao was a little distressed.
Xiao Yan hummed in agreement, his gaze fixed on the gradually forming pill. His tone was earnest. "Don't worry, Master, it's definitely Half-Step Tier 8 Medicinal Pill. And I have a feeling this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill might be even more than that!"
"Not only that?" Yao Lao repeated, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, his tone excited, "Yan'er, are you saying that this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill might be able to break through to the Tier 8 Medicinal Pill?"
"No, no, no, that's impossible! Yan'er, if you can't imbue this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill Spirit Infusion, then even if its energy is abundant, it's impossible for it to reach the Eighth Tier!" The Yao Lao didn't believe it.
Xiao Yan frowned, completely lacking the energy to respond to Yao Lao.
He used all his strength to condense the elixir, but he felt an extraordinary resistance, as if he were pushing a mountain buried deep in the earth.
He frantically circulated the Flame Mantra, digesting the absorbed power to replenish Xiao Yan Yan's ever-consuming Dou Qi.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, and flames suddenly erupted around him.
Cyan, yellowish-brown, dark green, and sea blue.
Four flames erupted from his body and entered the Medicine Cauldron.
Based on the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, the phantoms of the Cyan Lotus Platform, the Tornado, the viscous venom, and the magnificent ocean waves all merged into it.
The flames rapidly changed color, the five colors mixing and blending together, creating a brand new Five-Colored Flame with a red base.
As soon as the flame appeared, its terrifyingly high temperature caused the temperature in the entire Small Courtyard to rise rapidly, and the Myriad Beast Cauldron trembled violently, its supporting legs shaking.
Looking at the flame, the Yao Lao exclaimed, "I have never felt such a significant suppressive effect on my Bone Spirit Cold Flame! Yan'er, the intensity of your flame has definitely reached the top of the Heavenly Flame Ranking!"
Xiao Yan remained silent, only controlling the dazzling Five-Colored Flame to accelerate the condensation of his core. By manipulating these flames, the rate at which his internal Dou Qi was consumed increased several times over.
Roar--!
The moment the elixir took shape inside the Medicine Cauldron, the Myriad Beast Cauldron emitted the roar of a demonic beast, interspersed with a barely perceptible dragon's howl.
Xiao Yan looked closely and saw that the dragon's roar was clearly emitted by the refined Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill.
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill still retained its golden color, surrounded by two slender golden streams of energy. Upon closer inspection, those two golden streams of energy were clearly two lifelike Golden Scaled Python Dragon, and the aura they emitted even made Xiao Yan's expression become solemn.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the higher its Yao Ling. This Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill exhibits...
Xiao Yan's palms were sweating, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
The biggest difference between Tier 8 Medicinal Pill and Tier 7 Medicinal Pill lies in a step that only Alchemist with Spirit Realm Soul can perform: Spirit Infusion.
Only elixirs possessing extraordinary spiritual qualities deserve to be called Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.
Xiao Yan's soul is currently insufficient, and Yao Lao is his assistant. Neither of them has undergone the Spirit Infusion process. Therefore, logically speaking, the upper limit of this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill is only half-step Eighth Tier, or rather, a pseudo- Tier 8 Medicinal Pill.
However, the Myriad Beast Cauldron Heavenly Cauldron, under the blessing of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, actually produced a miraculous reaction with the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, imbuing it with spirit in place of Xiao Yan.
In other words, this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, which was already full of energy, became a true Tier 8 Medicinal Pill after being Spirit Infusion!
