As the Pill Lightning faded, the Pill Rain slowly vanished as well.
"Form!" Xiao Yan shouted.
The three masses of liquid within the cauldron had long since fused together. As Xiao Yan cried out, a dark-red pill slowly took shape inside the cauldron.
After lying dormant for several seconds, the exquisite dark-red pill suddenly erupted with streams of powerful Dou Qi, attempting to break free of Xiao Yan's control!
Though it appeared ordinary and intangible, that power contained traces of force that made even souls tremble!
Xiao Yan recognized it at a glance! This was clearly a soul attack technique.
One had to know that ordinary eighth-grade pills already possessed a degree of humanity, while ninth-grade pills possessed their own spirituality. As for Emperor Grade Pills, they already had intelligence no weaker than that of humans. Thus, from the moment they were born, they sought to escape Xiao Yan's control and live freely beneath the heavens.
How could Xiao Yan fail to understand the agitation of the dark-red pill within the cauldron? The Nine-Colored Pill Lightning and the Pill Rain had both succeeded. How could he possibly fail at this final step?
He immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Xiao Yan knew that if he wished to perfectly control and subdue this unruly Emperor Grade Pill, he could only do so through soul control! He had to defeat it with soul power and make it submit! This was the soul tempering that Chairman Bai Su had spoken of!
Only a small number of people knew that pills above Emperor Grade possessed intelligence no weaker than that of humans. At that point, only by undergoing the pill's soul tempering could one calm it and turn it into a true Emperor Grade Pill!
So-called soul tempering was a battle of souls!
