A Flaw

The starry sky was dazzling, and there wasn't a cloud in sight.

The bright moon cast its white light, illuminating every corner of the market, making the night feel like half a day.

It has lost its mystery, but gained an indescribable and inexplicable artistic conception.

Inside the Ye Family building, the intense firelight filled the entire room, its glow much brighter than that outside.

The terrifying heatwave caused ripples to appear in the outer isolation Array, as if even the residual heat was barely able to withstand it.

However, Ye Jingcheng had no time to pay attention to the Array at this moment; instead, he was concentrating on refining the pills.

The melting process inside had reached its final stage, and what it was melting was a three-hundred-year-old Jade Soul Fruit.

He had been studying this Pill Formula for three months, and this was the second time he had started the furnace.

The first attempt to start the furnace ended in failure during the dissolving stage. It took him five whole days to summarize the experience before he could start the furnace again.

During the three months he spent in Taihang Marketplace, he spent almost every day refining elixirs and studying Pill Formula.

Naturally, the initial focus was on researching elixirs such as Verdant Grain Pill, Nourishing Spirit Pill, and Heavenly Essence Pill.

His research speed was also extremely fast. After all, there were many similarities among first-order Pill Formula. For example, the Verdant Grain Pill was similar to the Azure Spirit Pill, except that it had a different main ingredient, and the Verdant Grain Pill was more effective.

Azure Spirit Pill is more affordable.

Therefore, Pill Formula for Verdant Grain Pill for five days, he was able to guarantee a high success rate for the pills, and almost all of them would have Pill Fragrance.

Ye Jingcheng spent a full month researching and refining the Heavenly Essence Pill and the Nourishing Spirit Pill.

The success rate of pill formation has now reached 70%, with more than seven pills formed each time.

However, the Pill Fragrance and patterns of the cinnabar are very rare.

Today marks the second time Ye Jingcheng has refined the Jade Soul Pill, after two more months of research.

After breaking through to the second tier, the Crimson Flame Fox's fire temperature has increased significantly, and its control over it has also improved considerably.

Ye Jingcheng intended to use the Six-Part Alchemy Method to make the alchemy process more reliable.

After all, his current Divine Sense is vastly different from what it was when he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

But now, a faint buzzing sound could be heard emanating from the Azure Elephant Furnace.

Previously, Ye Jingcheng might not have understood the reason, but after learning from Sand Cloud Mountain, he had a clear understanding of the array patterns on the Pill Furnace.

The buzzing sound was simply because the temperature was too high, and the Pill Furnace couldn't withstand it.

This is, after all, only a first-grade top-quality Pill Furnace, while the Jade Soul Pill is considered one of the most difficult pills to refine, even among second-grade low-quality pills.

Since it involves enhancing the Divine Soul, it's best to use elixirs with Pill Fragrance aroma.

Soon, bursts of light Pill Furnace, and the Pill Furnace began to spin rapidly.

At this moment, through Divine Sense, one could see that the Pill Furnace was divided into five parts, which were gradually merging into a single pill.

Ye Jingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Last time, he encountered a problem before he could fuse the core, wasting a three-hundred-year-old Jade Soul Fruit.

We've now reached the condensation stage, so the chances of another problem occurring are very small.

The Crimson Flame Fox lowered its flames and began condensing its core.

In the dim light, Ye Jingcheng's expression appeared even more grave.

To enhance the effect, Ye Jingcheng used the Spirit-Raising Method again.

Self-carved cinnabar patterns.

Ordinary pill patterns and Pill Fragrance are naturally formed, but the Ye Family's Spirit-Raising Method is a different approach. They studied pill patterns and summarized several highly universal pill patterns, intentionally guiding the process of pill condensation.

This is why Ye Xuefu believes that only pills with Pill Fragrance can be considered elixirs.

Even if the patterns on the cinnabar are not clearly visible, a fragrance still emanates from it.

This Spirit-Raising Method is also a true, closely guarded secret of the Ye Family.

The next moment, with a clear elephant's cry, the furnace lid was lifted, revealing two green jade-colored pills.

The surface of this pill has a shallow pattern, not a pill pattern, but its spiritual fragrance is quite strong.

Ye Jingcheng cast a spell, took out two Jade Soul Pills, and placed them into a small pill bottle.

They were incredibly excited for a moment.

Once the Jade Soul Pill is successfully refined, he can cultivate the Heavenly Soul Art to quickly strengthen his divine Divine Soul, which will not only improve his ability to refine pills but also prepare for soul division.

Ye Jingcheng unusually took out a Fire Heart Pill and gave it to the Crimson Flame Fox. Then he took out a piece of spirit cloth and began to carefully wipe the Azure Elephant Furnace.

At this moment, the Azure Elephant Furnace still appeared somewhat reddish, as if it couldn't radiate heat under high temperatures.

It took Ye Jingcheng a full quarter of an hour to clean the Pill Furnace.

The Crimson Flame Fox chirped twice beside him and began to quietly digest the Fire Heart Pill inside the room.

Now its injuries have fully healed, and its aura is even stronger than before, seemingly representing another significant leap forward.

Ye Jingcheng then released the Golden-Scaled Beast, the Jade-Scale Snake, and the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

However, this time, the release took place in the courtyard. After feeding the Golden-Scaled Beast and the Jade-Scale Snake, Ye Jingcheng left the Three-Color Cloud Deer behind.

As a new Spirit Beast, he needs more training and guidance to improve his synergy with the Three-Color Cloud Deer.

At this moment, the Three-Color Cloud Deer was about the same size as an ordinary lion, with long cloud wingspan and a very strong body. When it galloped, it had a powerful aura. The three-colored patterns on its back were even more beautiful, covered with a layer of faint three-colored spiritual luster.

The difference between how it looked when it was first delivered and how it looked now is like night and day.

He sat atop the Three-Color Cloud Deer Cloud Deer, causing it to leap and bound rapidly. As a flying Spirit Beast, Ye Jingcheng planned to have the Three-Color Cloud Deer carry him from now on, and the latter was not suitable for close combat.

Therefore, you should start practicing difficult dodge maneuvers as early as possible.

After practicing leaping for a while, he controlled the Three-Color Cloud Deer to release seeds and perform the Scatter Wood into Soldiers technique.

He had only been halfway through the attack when he quickly ordered the Three-Color Cloud Deer to retreat.

The wooden puppet materialized in a single breath and then dissipated in the same breath.

He also put two Spirit Nurturing Pill into the mouth of the Three-Color Cloud Deer, and then took out spirit medicine for the Three-Color Cloud Deer to inhale.

Compared to spirit medicine made from flowers and fruits, the Three-Color Cloud Deer clearly prefers spirit medicine; it chews them very slowly with a relaxed expression.

Although this Three-Color Cloud Deer is a male deer, it is usually very quiet and only shows its ferocity when dealing with strangers.

This time, the Three-Color Cloud Deer seemed impatient, constantly calling out, as if one mid-grade first-level spiritual herb was not enough for it to devour.

Ye Jingcheng was somewhat surprised, because the Three-Color Cloud Deer used to be very quiet.

But then, his face lit up with joy, for this was clearly the Three-Color Cloud Deer about to advance to the late stage of the first tier.

This speed also opened Ye Jingcheng's eyes.

Of course, he also knew that this was related to the fact that the Three-Color Cloud Deer didn't even have a first-tier Advancement Pill; it started with a second-tier bloodline Advancement Pill.

So it's normal for it to be faster.

He took out three identical Wood Cloud Grass, and then a lump of flesh and blood from a Dense Forest Pig.

The Three-Color Cloud Deer first inhaled the blood and flesh, drawing all the Blood Qi into its nose, before slowly chewing the spiritual herbs.

And the sheen on its fur becomes increasingly rich.

Ye Jingcheng summoned the Three-Color Cloud Deer into the room, allowing it to quietly break through its limits.

Almost as soon as the Three-Color Cloud Deer entered the room, his Divine Soul stirred again.

He looked at the other Spirit Beast pouch, and saw that it seemed to be emitting a faint black spiritual light.
