The cultivation pill needed for the Profound Kun Sacred Yin Body to break through was a type of Barrier-Breaking Pill, and refining it was not particularly difficult.
Even though Zong Ya was only a Lower-Grade Alchemist, her pill-refining skills were already entirely adequate to produce the pill.
As with ordinary pill refining, the three materials first needed to be processed.
Processing concentrated the essence within the materials, allowing their medicinal properties to combine fully during pill condensation.
"Bang, bang, bang-"
Inside the pill furnace, the medicinal ingredients gradually burst apart as the temperature rose.
The jadeblood dendrobium and shadowy purpleheart lotus were processed into medicinal powders and set aside for use.
The dew-tempered mystic-transforming elixir, however, was already a liquid, so it did not need to be processed again.
The process was not particularly troublesome, nor did any problems arise.
Within four hours, Zong Ya had completed all the preparations.
Next came the most crucial step.
Pill condensation!
Zong Ya placed all three medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace.
Then, using the Spirit Fire as her hands, she began bringing the three ingredients together.
At first, the three ingredients merely condensed into something the size of a fist, resembling an unfired clay form.
But as the temperature inside the furnace continued to rise, the medicinal properties within the "clay form" were drawn out, and the whole thing became more compact.
The pill's initially rough surface gradually became smooth and rounded.
A rough pill had now taken shape.
With that, the refining process reached its most dangerous step.
All three materials were yin in nature, while the Spirit Fire used to refine the pill was a substance of utmost yang.
With yin and yang clashing, the slightest carelessness could destroy the pill and explode the furnace, rendering all her previous efforts
