Origin Return Realm.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in his secluded chamber. The temperature inside had already risen to a point where the intense heat continually stirred up ripples of energy. With energy surges of this caliber, anyone without sufficient strength would be burned by the energy just watching from nearby, let alone approaching Xiao Yan.
Only because Origin Return Manor had converted the Spirit Clan's original pill-refining chamber into Xiao Yan's secluded chamber could it withstand such unreasonable surges of flame energy from him.
At that very moment, Xiao Yan was refining a Tier 9 Medicinal Pill. There was no medicinal cauldron before him. Taking its place was his strongest origin flame-the Nihility Devouring Flame!
Streams of energy wandered ceaselessly through the flame cauldron, while the core of the medicinal pill Xiao Yan needed to refine had long since taken shape and stood steadily at its center. That energy core, radiating multicolored light, was like a colossal abyssal beast, constantly absorbing the refined essence energy of different medicinal herbs. However much Xiao Yan refined, the pill could ravenously swallow it all, seemingly without any limit whatsoever.
Faced with such a situation, an ordinary Alchemist would certainly brace for battle, even if they did not become flustered. Yet Xiao Yan's current state was exceedingly rare among Alchemists refining pills, for he was smiling-and it was a thoroughly unrestrained smile of exhilaration!
"I really never imagined refining pills with an Emperor Realm Soul would feel so exhilarating!"
After advancing to an Emperor Realm Soul, Xiao Yan had never truly begun refining pills. The reason he had chosen to refine pills here this time was that, while monitoring the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, a sudden idea had struck him. That glimmer of insight had arrived neither early nor late, but at precisely this moment!
