He joined two renowned pill masters in Heavenly Star City, and they prepared to begin the difficult refinement with only three sets of materials.

• Qin Ming learned that the Demon Race and Netherworld Underworld were seeking the Zodiac Stone Statues and asked Elder Lin about the crisis at Yellow Springs Devouring Abyss.

• Master Kongzhi reassured Qin Ming that Daoist Xuan Guan’s aloof manner concealed a good nature, and the three gathered around the Grand Purity Unification Cauldron.

• The first refinement failed, and after two days of further attempts, the trio had used more than half their materials without success.
• Daoist Xuan Guan brought out Cloud-Eating Qi, a rare medicinal catalyst, for their final attempt, and it helped the medicinal liquids merge.
• Daoist Xuan Guan’s exhausted divine soul faltered just before the final step, causing the fused medicinal liquid to scatter and the cauldron to near explosion.
• Qin Ming released his powerful divine sense and used his Yin-Yang Separation Combination Pill Fusion Technique to separate and reassemble the scattered medicinal liquids.
