Pill refinement

The entire place was silent. Not only were the invited alchemists stunned, but even Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er stared at the scene before them in disbelief.

This alchemy session was to treat the aftereffects left on Tang Huo'er when she absorbed the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame. Tang Huo'er should know best how powerful the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame is, but now the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame is actually showing fear towards the flame in Xiao Yu's hand!

Tang Zhen looked at Xiao Yu with a solemn expression and said, "This Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame has been passed down for generations in our Fenyang Valley and has long since developed some intelligence. Only the top five Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking can make the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame fear them, but among these top five Heavenly Flames, there doesn't seem to be a dark golden Heavenly Flames, right?"

The other alchemists around also showed expressions of surprise, and many of them revealed a hint of greed in their eyes when they heard that it was Heavenly Flames. After all, the allure of a Heavenly Flames was enough to make people forget the alchemist's rank. So what if Seventh-grade Alchemist? Without reaching the Eighth-Tier, he was ultimately no match for Alchemy Grandmaster!

Xiao Yu naturally sensed the malicious gazes from those around him, but he didn't care about them, since his fear stemmed from insufficient firepower!

With a flick of his wrist, the Chaos Flame shot directly into the silver flames. However, the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame shrank abruptly after the Chaos Flame entered, darting around wildly, while the Chaos Flame held on tightly. In this situation, they believed that it could not only last for ten minutes, but it could even devour the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame.

Seeing that Xiao Yu had played with the Chaos Flame enough, he gently waved his sleeve, and the Chaos Flame obediently returned to his body. The Three Thousand Burning Flame had been almost completely devoured by the Chaos Flame, and now the Chaos Flame Spirit's intelligence should be similar to that of a normal person. Moreover, it could also transform into human form, making it comparable to the Nihility Devouring Flame.

However, its strength is probably not up to par. But there's no need to worry about the Nihility Devouring Flame swallowing the Chaos Flame, because the two are not on the same level. As the king of Wan Huo, the Chaos Flame Fire is much more powerful than the Heavenly Flames. It is a flame born at the beginning of Chaos, and it has a kind of bloodline-like suppression over these Heavenly Flames born in the same world.

The reason why the Three Thousand Burning Flame was devoured by the Chaos Flame was precisely because of this; otherwise, given the strength of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, the Chaos Flame would have had no chance of devouring it.

The wisp of Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame in the main hall surged directly into Tang Zhen's body. Tang Zhen regained his senses at that moment, looked at Xiao Yu with a smile, and said, "Young friend Xiao Yu, your skill with fire has truly broadened my horizons. Congratulations on passing the test. This means I've finally gathered all the necessary personnel!"

The Master Huan's face had vanished, replaced by a respectful one as he looked at Xiao Yu. The flames in his hand were enough to prove that Xiao Yu's identity as Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist was genuine.

Meanwhile, Master Xiao was somewhat embarrassed. He had questioned others, but in the end, he failed the test while others passed. Wasn't that a slap in the face?

Tang Zhen looked at everyone and said, "Although none of you passed the test, don't worry, you can all watch us refine pills!"

Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, smiles appeared on everyone's faces. For them, being able to witness the refining of a High-grade Seventh-rank Pill would be extremely beneficial to their alchemy skills, and such a scene was quite rare.

Tang Zhen patted Tang Huo'er's head and said, "Go and get ready. With Xiao Yu's help this time, you're saved. He'll be your savior!"

Tang Huo'er pouted slightly and said, "He's hardly my savior. We provided the medicinal herbs and the prescription, and Father and that Master Huan were also there to assist. If he hadn't managed to refine the Fire Bodhi Pill, I would have taught him a lesson!"

"Alright, alright, even we in Fenyang Valley treat Seventh-grade Advanced Alchemist with utmost care. If it weren't to prevent the pill formula from being leaked, I would have let my young friend Xiao Yu try it on his own!" Tang Zhen sighed slightly.

The Seventh-grade formula for the Fire Bodhi Pill belongs to the Fenyang Valley. Although Tang Zhen is the Valley Master of the Fenyang Valley, he still has to consider the interests of the Fenyang Valley. If the formula for the Fire Bodhi Pill is leaked, the other elders of the Fenyang Valley will naturally cause trouble for him, the Fenyang Valley Master.

The alchemy workshop was located in a valley within the Fenyang Valley, a lush and verdant place dotted with fiery red maple leaves, making it a truly pleasing sight.

When Tang Zhen led Xiao Yu and the others to the valley, they could see from afar a spacious plaza built of crimson Volcanic Stone Flame in the center of the valley. The plaza was about ten zhang high, and there were already many figures standing around it. Most of them were dressed in fiery red clothes, while two others were dressed in hemp clothing, presumably elders of the Fenyang Valley.

This plaza is where the alchemy is performed. Not far away, there is a high platform, which, although not as wide as the plaza, is much higher. The alchemists invited by Burning Fenyang Valley stand here to watch the alchemy process.

When everything was ready, Tang Zhen waved his sleeve, and a massive Medicine Cauldron, over ten feet in size, appeared in the center of the square. The Medicine Cauldron was fiery red, and on its Medicine Cauldron wall were patterns of volcanic eruptions. A violent aura burst forth from it; anyone with weak Soul Power standing here would probably turn pale from the impact.

Xiao Yu also recognized that the Medicine Cauldron was the Mountain Melting Cauldron owned by Tang Zhen. It was also an item on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking and of extremely high quality. Using it to refine High-grade Seventh-rank Pill was not a waste of its potential. This also showed how much importance Tang Zhen attached to this pill refining.

After showing the two parts of the prescription to Master Huan and Xiao Yu respectively, Tang Zhen also handed Master Huan a pill that could resist the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Flame.

"Let's begin!" Tang Zhen said softly.

Master Huan and Xiao Yu immediately entered the state of alchemy. This was not the first time Xiao Yu had refined a Seventh-grade pill. The steps for refining a Seventh-grade Advanced pill were extremely complicated. This not only consumed one's mind and spirit, but also posed a great test to the alchemist's physical strength and Soul Power.

The extraction and fusion of the medicinal herbs began together by the three of them, so it was extremely easy for Xiao Yu. However, as time passed during the extraction and fusion, Master Huan's Soul Power began to decline, and Tang Zhen's expression changed slightly. He then looked at Xiao Yu for help.

Xiao Yu sighed helplessly. If he were refining the Fire Bodhi Pill alone, it might not be so troublesome. But now he didn't know the other half of the formula, so he could only remind him, "Master Huan, the pill will be refined soon. After you fuse the other half of the ingredients, just stop refining the pill!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Master Huan's expression was somewhat bitter, but he still nodded in agreement. Soon, the blue and red light inside the Medicine Cauldron surged, and countless medicinal herbs began to fuse under the soul control of Xiao Yu and Master Huan.
