Inside Medicine Valley.
With the conclusion of Xiao Yan's battle, the entire Medicine Valley was enveloped in peace. A thousand alchemists sat cross-legged simultaneously, quietly beginning to refine their pills, though their speeds were extremely slow, faintly trailing behind the experts atop the ten Spirit Gathering Peaks. Evidently, refining high-grade medicinal pills naturally required a tremendous amount of time, yet few among the experts who managed to enter and participate in the Yao Clan Ceremony were ordinary people.
"Humming!" At the eighth peak.
The fire cauldron condensed from the amber Rock Soul Fire possessed extraordinary might, surprisingly shortening Xiao Yan's time for refining medicinal materials by a large margin. Although it was impossible to catch up with the contestants of the other nine peaks, it saved Xiao Yan a great deal of trouble. After all, pills of this caliber required countless tedious techniques just for refining the medicinal materials, to say nothing of the subsequent Pill Fusion.
"Strange, aren't these two medicinal materials-the Nether Snake Heaven Swallowing Grass and the Blood Tooth Demon Fruit-a bit off?" For a month, Xiao Yan's aura and strength had already gradually recovered by over seventy percent. However, within the medicinal cauldron, there were still two clusters of medicinal materials that had yet to finish refining. These two medicinal materials remained motionless and as good as new, whereas the other medicinal materials had already been simultaneously refined and extracted by Xiao Yan, turning into piles of powder that quietly rested inside the medicinal cauldron for him to use.
Could it be related to holy qi?
Yet that stuff called holy qi can only come in handy during Pill Fusion... Xiao Yan looked at the final two medicinal materials inside the medicinal cauldron, falling into deep thought for a moment.
