Four-Colored Pill Lightning, the Pill Takes Shape
Using Beast Flame as an energy source for alchemy presents several challenges, including overcoming the extreme volatility of the Beast Flame's energy.
The most difficult part is figuring out how to refine Beast Flame.
Alchemist ultimately use fire to refine medicine. With powerful cultivation, one can refine rare and wondrous substances such as lightning and ice.
But Beast Flame is different; it is fire itself. Even if you have high cultivation, you cannot refine it into pure energy. At most, you can only achieve mutual devouring between flames.
Xiao Yan, however, was an exception.
He wielded several Heavenly Flames, and as the emperors of Heavenly Flames, the Beast Flame were absolutely powerless against them.
At the same time, his Fire Spirit Body also allows him to command the Heavenly Flames not to devour the energy of these Beast Flame.
He was able to use Beast Flame as an energy source to refine medicine precisely because he met these two demanding requirements.
Beast Flame cannot be as gentle as ordinary medicine refining.
Xiao Yan channeled the Fusion Heavenly Flame into every part of the Myriad Beast Cauldron, completely sealing the entire cauldron without leaving a single gap.
Then, he poured all the Beast Flame into the cauldron at once.
The dazzling Beast Flame of various colors entered the Myriad Beast Cauldron, but were suppressed by the higher rank of the Heavenly Flames in an instant.
Even though an Eighth-Rank Beast Flame has more energy than some lower-tier Heavenly Flames, it is still mercilessly crushed by Heavenly Flames due to the huge difference in their nature.
Even the weakest Mysterious Yellow Flame can make high-level Beast Flame grovel.
Moreover, this is Fusion Heavenly Flame.
The current Fusion Heavenly Flame is in no way inferior in strength to the top six Heavenly Flames.
Under the combined crushing force of strength and status, all the Beast Flame had nowhere to escape.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan began to manipulate the Heavenly Flames, constantly compressing its position so that the Beast Flame were squeezed together.
Sensing the threat, the Beast Flame creatures began to seize the few remaining living spaces inside the cauldron.
Those weaker Beast Flame were pushed aside and quickly refined by the Fusion Heavenly Flame, transforming into a fiery red energy ball.
Compress, compress, and compress again.
The space inside the Myriad Beast Cauldron was continuously compressed by the Heavenly Flames.
The high-level Beast Flame inside also transformed into a fiery red energy cluster, resembling magma, under the intense heat of the Heavenly Flames.
After this step is completed, it's equivalent to normal alchemy. Once the Magic Core is refined, the entire alchemy process has just begun.
Xiao Yan calmly and deliberately enveloped the Beast Flame energy with his Heavenly Flames.
After completing this step,
He began to put the medicinal herbs one by one into the Medicinal Herbs Medicine Cauldron.
He categorized and grouped Medicinal Herbs with similar properties together, then melted them with the Heavenly Flames, transforming them into a pure medicinal liquid.
This step took Xiao Yan more than a day, and his internal Dou Qi was also greatly depleted. Fortunately, the Quasi-Heaven Rank Flame Mantra Cultivation Technique brought him an extremely fast Dou Qi recovery speed, so Xiao Yan did not feel any strain.
At this moment, inside the Medicine Cauldron, the medicinal liquid of the Medicinal Herbs and the energy of the Beast Flame clearly occupied two corners of the Myriad Beast Cauldron.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan added the most crucial Earth Core Tempering Milk into it.
This earth-attribute treasure, which can increase the chances of breakthroughs in cultivation, is no less effective than Beast Flame.
Xiao Yan carefully placed it into the Medicine Cauldron, deliberately lowering the temperature of the Fusion Heavenly Flame, and began to burn it at an extremely low temperature.
Under the scorching heat of the Heavenly Flames, the essence of the already liquid Earth Core Tempering Milk was further extracted, and its special effects were amplified.
Xiao Yan slowly increased the temperature of the Heavenly Flames, and the liquid-like Earth Core Tempering Milk began to bubble, becoming even thicker.
Finally, at that very moment, Xiao Yan instantly released the Heavenly Flames that enveloped the Beast Flame energy cluster.
The crimson energy cluster contains astonishing power.
Using this energy cluster as a base, Xiao Yan began to cover it with pools of medicinal liquid.
At the same time, with each layer of medicinal liquid, some Earth Core Tempering Milk is separated and applied simultaneously, forming a layer of medicinal liquid and a layer of Earth Core Tempering Milk.
Through this continuous, cyclical fusion, the rudimentary form of the elixir gradually emerged.
As the medicinal liquid and the Earth Core Tempering Milk decreased, a peculiar medicinal fragrance gradually began to emanate from the Medicine Cauldron.
Just then, Xiao Yan had a sudden thought. He gently pried open his index finger with his thumb and squeezed out a drop of extremely viscous blood from the tip of his index finger. It seemed to be mixed with a trace of golden blood.
This drop of blood, containing his [Myriad Beast] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, is a treasure to magical beasts.
Similarly, the Beast Flame taken from the magical beasts also reacted to his blood.
Xiao Yan flicked the drop of blood into the Medicine Cauldron. Inside the formed pill, the Beast Flame seemed to be ignited, and the entire pill shook violently, its energy being further stimulated.
Xiao Yan didn't keep them in suspense any longer and infused his blood into the pill, instantly staining the entire pill with a layer of blood.
At the same time, he incorporated the last medicinal liquid and Earth Core Tempering Milk inside the Longevity Cauldron into the pill, making the pill, which originally had some pits, perfectly round.
At that very moment, lightning gathered in the sky.
The familiar silver thunderclouds were the first to gather in the air.
A blue thundercloud followed closely behind.
The red thunderclouds were the next most prominent feature.
The golden thunderclouds appeared after a period of preparation.
Xiao Yan continued to wait, staring intently at the sky, but the purple Pill Lightning never appeared.
Disappointment inevitably arose in his heart, but Xiao Yan quickly dispelled it.
The Tier 8 Medicinal Pill made from the Four-Colored Pill Lightning were already quite good, but the materials used to refine these pills were ultimately inferior to those used to refine the Blood-Melting Body-Tempering Pill last time.
The fact that it can reach the level of Four-Colored Pill Lightning is enough to prove the success of the refining.
Xiao Yan calmed himself down and took out the Earth Demon King, sending it into the air.
At the same time, the scene of the Four-Colored Pill Lightning appeared throughout the Black-Corner Region, especially among the people of Yan City, who could even feel the terrifying energy contained within the Four-Colored Pill Lightning.
Within Yan City, there are many spies from various forces across the Northwest Continent, ranging in strength from Dou Emperor to Dou Zong.
They infiltrated Yan City with only one purpose: to investigate who that mysterious Eighth-Rank Alchemist was and whether he was related to the Tian Shu Alliance.
The Pill Lightning that appeared in Yan City some time ago, which was the result of the formation of Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, was it because that Eighth-Rank Alchemist happened to be refining pills in Yan City, or was he related to someone in the Tian Shu Alliance?
These are two completely different concepts, and they will determine how the major powers of the Northwest Continent will treat the Tian Shu Alliance in the future.
Now, the moment these four-colored blue lightning appeared, many people clearly realized one thing.
This Eighth-Rank Alchemist was definitely not just passing through Yan City by chance; there's a high probability that he's connected to someone from the Tian Shu Alliance, or even that he might be a member of the Tian Shu Alliance.
The thought sent a chill down the spines of the many spies.
The Northwest Continent is about to gain another hegemonic power.
Meanwhile, in the Small Courtyard, Xiao Yan was already controlling the Earth Demon Puppet, blocking all the Four-Colored Pill Lightning lightning. Impurities in his body were further expelled, and his physical strength increased accordingly. The gap between him and becoming a Heavenly Demon Puppet with the strength of Dou Venerate was reduced by more than half.
The Pill Lightning dissipated, and the elixir, having passed the test and gained the approval of heaven and earth, truly took shape.
Xiao Yan reached into the Myriad Beast Cauldron, using the Fusion Heavenly Flame to block the pill's escape route, and with overwhelming force, he firmly grasped the pill in his palm, completely suppressing it.
"Yan'er, take this pill directly and break through to the Dou Venerate!" Yao Lao said from the side.
