Tang Yan had no choice but to take out the Pill Cauldron the Female Demon had given him. After kindling his pill flame, he tossed all the medicinal ingredients inside in one go.
His rough technique made the Female Demon's eyelids twitch, and she tightened her grip on the Dragon Pillar.
If that cauldron explodes, I'll give your muscles and bones a good loosening!
But soon, the Female Demon's expression turned serious. Seated in her chair, she propped her chin on one end of the Dragon Pillar and watched Tang Yan's technique intently.
To her astonishment, she discovered that Tang Yan had not thrown all the ingredients into the Pill Cauldron out of sheer recklessness.
His divine soul could keep pace, and his technique could handle it.
With dozens of medicinal ingredients being refined and purified simultaneously, every breath of time was precious and crucial.
The slightest error would tug one strand and move the whole body, affecting the refinement of the other ingredients.
Tang Yan was like a merciless refining machine. Every step flowed naturally into the next, without a single fault to be found.
In just three quarters of an hour, all sixty-four ingredients had been purified, and he moved on to pill fusion.
An hour and a half later, Tang Yan slapped the Pill Cauldron. Its lid flew open, and six perfectly round, lustrous pills flew out and hovered steadily in midair.
"Master, please inspect them," Tang Yan said respectfully.
Rao Baoyue took a pill and examined it closely. Its surface was smooth and fine, glowing with a lustrous sheen.
The finest of the high grade!
Then she turned a dangerous gaze on Tang Yan and challenged him. "You're too practiced for someone who just learned this. It looks like you've been deliberately hiding it from me!"
