An Invitation to Refine Pills

Battle Through the Heavens: The Ice Saint of the Xiao Clan, Chapter 282: Invitation to Refine Pills

As Xiao Han and the others had predicted, things unfolded in a rather lively manner in Central Plains over the next year.

The battle between the Heavenly Mansion and Soul Hall was fierce; one day Heavenly Mansion would dismantle a palace, and the next day Soul Hall would destroy a city.

The comings and goings of people allowed many war profiteers to make a small fortune, including Langya Pavilion.

After all, war is a matter that transcends the Cultivation World and Mortal Empire, and it places extremely high demands on resources and logistics. It's just that in the Cultivation World, there are situations where one person can be worth a million soldiers.

Although initially, the sheer number of powerful figures in the Soul Hall put the Heavenly Mansion in a difficult position, as internal integration was gradually completed and the various forces became increasingly united, the Soul Hall had accumulated too many old enemies.

The strength of the Heavenly Mansion has been growing stronger and stronger. In addition, the Soul Hall's operations in the Northwest Continent have suffered serious setbacks and heavy losses. Until recently, the intensity of the war has begun to decrease.

Even so, localized conflicts continued. And in this short year, both sides suffered considerable losses.

However, with the Heavenly Mansion Pill Tower as a wealthy patron in Tianfu and the Soul Hall as its father, financial resources are not an issue for the Soul Clan Palace!

The loss of powerful personnel is particularly distressing. Both sides suffered a significant number of Dou Zun- level experts who perished. Their only stroke of luck was that the Dou Sheng war never began; otherwise, Heavenly Mansion might have been completely wiped out.

Today, a rather rare guest has arrived at the Langya Pavilion.

"Medicine Saint, we have been waiting for you for a long time!" Xiao Han said with a smile, clasping his hands in greeting as he looked at the handsome young man before him.

Extreme Spirit Chaos Art

The Elder Yao returned the greeting with a smile, saying, "It is truly an honor for this old man to be personally received by the Ice Saint!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xiao Han got straight to the point, "To be honest, the reason I invited the Medicine Saint here today is that I hope you will fulfill our original agreement."

Please forgive any abruptness!

The Elder Yao's expression remained unchanged; instead, he acted as if it were perfectly normal.

"I had already guessed this when I received the invitation from the Ice Saint. The delay until now is also due to arranging affairs of the Heavenly Mansion."

Are you kidding me? Do you really think that the aid Heavenly Mansion received back then came without any cost?

If they dare to renege on their debts, Elder Yao is absolutely certain that Heavenly Mansion won't even need to wait for the Soul Hall to attack; Langya Pavilion can wipe them out directly.

Upon hearing Elder Yao's words, Xiao Han immediately patted his chest and assured him:

"Please rest assured, Medicine Saint, I swear in my name that during your absence, nothing will happen in the Heavenly Mansion."

The Elder Yao was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Then I thank Pavilion Master Su very much."

Although he had already made relatively comprehensive arrangements, he was only completely at ease after receiving this guarantee.

"Then please!" Xiao Han gestured.

"Please!"

On the way, Elder Yao also tried to talk to Xiao Han, and he asked curiously:

"May I ask, Ice Saint, what kind of elixir do you require my assistance in refining this time?"

"Oh?" Xiao Han turned around.

Noticing Xiao Han's doubt, Elder Yao smiled slightly, "Langya Pavilion is a large and powerful family, and it doesn't need anything from this old man."

"The only thing I have that could possibly catch the eye of the Langya Pavilion is this alchemy skill that's passable."

"It's passable?" Xiao Han shook his head and retorted, "You're being far too modest."

"If your skill level is only barely passable, then there are no Alchemist in the world who are worthy of your attention."

"Oh?" Elder Yao asked in surprise. "I didn't expect... that I am highly regarded in the eyes of the Ice Saint?"

"Just telling the truth." Xiao Han didn't sense anything unusual and continued:

"This time, I hope that the Medicine Saint will collaborate with my wife to refine a pill."

"Cooperation?" Elder Yao asked, frowning.

Xiao Han quickly explained, "It's not that I don't trust your alchemy skills, but rather that the difficulty of this alchemy attempt was simply too high, leaving me with no other choice!"

"I wonder what grade it is?" the Elder Yao asked confidently.

"I do have some ordinary Ninth Grade Pills..."

"Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, Heavenly Origin Soul Forging Pill." Xiao Han's words directly blocked Elder Yao's words in his throat, and then he swallowed them back.

Although the Elder Yao had never heard of the Heavenly Origin Soul Forging Pill, its grade alone was enough to deter countless Alchemists.

He really had no confidence in refining the Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill. Even though his soul had already slightly touched that level, he couldn't guarantee the success rate of refining it.

"I really want to see this one!" said the Elder Yao.

A surge of excitement coursed through him. Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill! Few powerful individuals across the entire continent could afford such a thing, and Mysterious Pill Alchemist were even rarer. If he could truly refine a Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, his life would be complete!

Finally...

Xiao Han led Elder Yao through a Space Wormhole, and the entire alchemy site finally came into Elder Yao's view.

This is an empty space, desolate as if it had just been created, but the rich energy that makes one feel comfortable with every breath indicates that this space is extraordinary.

The most eye-catching thing was the Medicine Cauldron at the center of the space, radiating a soft light and exuding a sacred aura. Upon seeing it, the Elder Yao master shrank back and exclaimed in surprise:

"The Saint Radiance Cauldron!?"

"Yes, it is indeed Shengyao!" At this moment, a gentle voice rang out from the side. Elder Yao turned around and saw the owner of the Medicine Cauldron: "Greetings, Your Yi Huang!"

"This humble servant greets the Medicine Saint!" Yi Huang bowed gracefully, her tone tinged with the excitement of a young girl meeting her idol.

"I don't know..." Elder Yao looked at Sheng Yao, opened his mouth, and hesitated slightly before saying, "This Medicine Cauldron..."

If he remembered correctly, the Saint Radiance Cauldron shouldn't be here, right?

Yi Huang glanced at the Saint Radiance Cauldron and said naturally, "I obtained this Sacred Radiance Cauldron by chance. Is there a problem?"

"It's nothing!" The Elder Yao waved his hands repeatedly, knowing that this was not something he should ask, and then changed the subject.

"How will the tasks be divided this time in the alchemy process?" Every step in refining high-grade pills, from the initial extraction of medicinal materials, requires immense effort.

Those with insufficient cultivation levels simply cannot withstand the energy expenditure involved. Therefore, the practice of collaborative alchemy arose.

Since it's a collaborative alchemy project, it's essential to clearly define each person's responsibilities beforehand, and then begin the process of getting to know each other. This way, the combined strengths of the two Alchemist can be maximized.

Although such things are usually done by acquaintances or even fellow students.

But now, it's good enough to find Alchemist of a matching level, what more could you ask for?

Originally, Elder Yao intended to take over the most difficult steps of Pill Fusion and Pill Formation, but the powerful Soul Strength gave him great confidence.

Alas...

"This time, Medicine Venerable will be in charge of the preliminary work, such as refining the medicinal materials and Pill Fusion!" Yi Huang immediately began to make arrangements.

Since the guest was at the host's beck and call, the Elder Yao naturally couldn't object; it would be better to switch to an easier job.

"In that case, you may continue. I have some other arrangements to make."

Xiao Han said something and walked to the side, busy with something. His Dou Qi spread in his hands, and some complicated Runes appeared from time to time.

"This is..." The Elder Yao was quite puzzled by Xiao Han's behavior.

Yi Huang glanced tenderly at Xiao Han, making Elder Yao feel like he was being fed a bellyful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), then turned around and said without looking back:

"That guy's job is of utmost importance!"

The Elder Yao was even more confused. What did the Ice Saint have to do with alchemy? This guy didn't even have Fire Attribute Dou Qi, yet he could still refine pills?

However, two days later, all the confusion vanished as the Grand Array rose in Xiao Han's hand.
