Yao Chen gazed at the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame before him, skillfully guiding the silver flame dragon with his soul force and channeling it into Kong Kong's body to speed up the pill's formation.
With the final strand of soul force Yao Chen infused into him, Kong Kong's body shuddered. A rich pill fragrance instantly filled the entire alchemy room.
A smooth, crimson pill slowly emerged from Kong Kong's mouth. Light shimmered around it, and its powerful energy ripples made the very space tremble faintly.
However, just then, dark clouds suddenly gathered across the sky, and a rumbling peal of thunder rolled in.
"Not good, it's Pill Lightning!" Tang Zhen's expression tightened.
Bolts of purple lightning darted through the clouds like roaring dragons, ready to pounce at any moment.
Tang Zhen's eyes widened, his face brimming with tension and anticipation.
The pressure of the Pill Lightning grew stronger and stronger, until everyone in the alchemy room struggled to breathe.
Just as the lightning was about to strike, the whole world seemed to stand still. Everyone's heart leaped into their throats.
The fire monkey beside Yao Chen leaped out and charged toward the Pill Lightning.
The moment the Pill Lightning struck Kong Kong, the three-colored flames on its body began to whirl, absorbing the lightning's force.
A moment later, the entire alchemy room fell quiet.
Yao Chen held the red pill in his hand. Seeing the longing on Tang Zhen's face, he handed it to him.
"Valley Master Tang, have Huo'er swallow this pill. Combined with your Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, she'll be restored to her former condition."
Tang Zhen accepted the pill and excitedly bowed to Yao Chen.
"Many thanks, Venerable Yao."
Seeing this, Yao Chen smiled with satisfaction and said to Tang Zhen,
"You're too kind, Valley Master Tang."
