Clang! Clang!
Wave after wave of energy crashed against the inner walls of the medicinal cauldron, their piercing echoes reverberating endlessly throughout the Alchemy Hall.
Liu Bai stared fixedly into the cauldron, pouring out all his Soul Power until it filled every corner within...
Although he knew that, with his current alchemy skills, his chances of successfully refining a Tier 7 Pill were extremely low, successfully completing it in a single attempt was difficult even for some Tier 7 Alchemists.
But Liu Bai had never been someone who played by the rules.
As the focus in Liu Bai's eyes grew sharper, his mind became increasingly concentrated. At a certain moment, black Flame suddenly surged within his dark eyes. Amid the rising flames, Liu Bai seemed to faintly see the fierce battle of energy erosion and fusion taking place within that crimson essence blood.
"So that's it..."
A soft murmur slowly escaped Liu Bai's lips.
Refining pills was all about perfectly fusing together the medicinal properties of numerous ingredients.
This fusion had to be maintained at an extraordinarily delicate balance. It was precisely because of this that Soul Power became the most crucial factor in determining an Alchemist's achievements.
This unexpected development had caught Liu Bai off guard. Every step he had taken earlier had followed the prescription exactly, without the slightest error, yet a problem had still arisen in the end.
Clearly, something in those steps had escaped his control.
Earlier, Liu Bai had not known which step had gone wrong. But the instant Flame rose in his eyes, he finally gained some understanding.
The problem was not with the medicinal liquids he had refined, but with that drop of crimson essence blood.
This drop of crimson essence blood had been extracted from the corpse of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
