On the Heavenly Formation Platform, the enormous cyan-gold medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan trembled violently a few times, and a loud collision suddenly rang out. Even Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the futon at the moment, changed his expression. With a thought, his enormous Spiritual Strength was frantically poured into the medicine cauldron in front of him. With the help of the Heavenly Flames, he was able to gradually suppress the two violent energy fluctuations.
The cauldron gradually stabilized. Fortunately, the remaining medicinal balls inside the cauldron were not greatly affected by the Heavenly Flames. Otherwise, if the energy contained in those medicinal balls had exploded, it would have caused quite a commotion.
Something happened?
Outside the Heavenly Formation Platform, Luo Jin frowned and looked up at Xiao Yan deep inside. Because of the array's isolation, he couldn't see what was inside, but the energy fluctuation he had just experienced made his heart tighten.
"Don't rush. Refining pills isn't an easy task. It's only natural to encounter some trouble. I believe that little guy can handle it. Besides, we're outsiders. Even if something really happens, what can we do? Let's just wait patiently for good news from him."
Just as Luo Jin was feeling nervous, Luo Ao appeared out of nowhere in the crowd of onlookers. He gently patted Luo Jin's shoulder, calming him down. Luo Jin then sighed softly and calmed down again.
Although things had calmed down here, the group of Luo family members watching behind them were making a ruckus. Their incessant chatter was like a ferocious beast hovering over everyone's heads, stirring up the emotions of Luo Jin and the others once again. Seeing this, Luo Ao helplessly pursed his lips, turned around and gave them a stern reprimand. The crowd immediately dispersed like the receding tide.
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Formation Platform, Xiao Yan frowned deeply, his mind racing. He swiftly raised both hands, gathering Origin Qi in his palms, and then slammed them heavily onto the medicine cauldron several times. Combined with the pressure of his Spiritual Strength, this created invisible energy waves within the cauldron, temporarily suppressing the suppressed energy within the medicinal clumps. Immediately afterward, the two medicinal clumps slowly approached each other and began to merge again.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
The moment the two touched, the two energies contained within them immediately surged and collided. The originally round surfaces of the two medicinal balls were now churning incessantly, as if they were alive. Waves of energy constantly collided at the point where the two met. Despite Xiao Yan's suppression, the fusion process still seemed extremely difficult.
Fortunately, things are much better now than before, but Xiao Yan understands that this is just the beginning. The dozen or so medicinal pills must be fused together repeatedly until they are all integrated and their internal energy is kept in a balanced state and no longer violent. This process will inevitably be long and difficult.
In the blink of an eye, six days had passed since Xiao Yan began the process of Pill Fusion. During these six days, intense energy fluctuations would occasionally emanate from within the Heavenly Formation Platform, a sight that startled passersby outside the arena.
Before Xiao Yan at this moment, of the dozen or so medicinal clumps inside the cauldron, only the last two remained. These two clumps were the result of the fusion of all the other medicinal clumps.
Although they had absorbed the immense energy from those dozen or so pills, the two pills were not as large as one might expect, remaining only the size of a palm. All impurities had been removed, and after being refined by the Heavenly Flames, the surfaces of the two pills were smoother and more lustrous. Although the pills were not yet formed, one could already smell a faint fragrance of pills, which was refreshing and delightful.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, his gaze fixed on the two medicinal clumps inside the cauldron. He took a deep breath, holding it in his chest, and then carefully controlled the flames inside the cauldron, guiding the two medicinal clumps to slowly approach each other. As long as this step could be completed, there would be nothing to worry about in the following steps.
Inside the cauldron, isolated by the Heavenly Flames, the two medicinal balls slowly approached each other at an extremely slow pace. The mere few inches between them took nearly half an hour. By this time, Xiao Yan's forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat, and his dark eyes were fixed intently on the two medicinal balls inside the cauldron. Only when the surfaces of the two gradually adhered to each other did Xiao Yan finally exhale the breath he had been holding in his chest.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, at the point of collision, an energy fluctuation even more violent than in the past few days suddenly surged out, forcibly annihilating the raging purple flames surrounding both, and then slammed hard against the inner wall of the medicine cauldron.
"Clang!"
The heavy medicine cauldron trembled violently, shaking the entire stone platform where Xiao Yan stood. The array above his head fluctuated violently, finally managing to withstand the aftershocks. Xiao Yan's expression also changed drastically. He hurriedly mobilized all his remaining Spiritual Strength, pouring it into the medicine cauldron. With a wave of his sleeve, raging flames enveloped the entire cauldron from the outside in. A powerful aura swept out from within him, forcefully resisting the strange phenomenon inside the medicine cauldron.
Even so, it was not yet possible to calm it down. When Xiao Yan focused his gaze on the two pills, purple flames appeared deep in his eyes, and everything in front of him became clearer and more transparent. For a moment, Xiao Yan vaguely saw the fierce battle between the energy erosion and fusion that was taking place between the two pills.
Under Xiao Yan's observation, the energy within the two pills was indeed surging at an extremely rapid pace. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before all the energy within the two pills fused together. Logically, this should be a cause for celebration. However, what alarmed Xiao Yan was that while the Spiritual Strength within the pills was increasing dramatically, the energy used to balance and stabilize the pills was rapidly dissipating under this intense consumption. If this continued, the final result of the fusion would be a terrifying, uncontrollable Spiritual Strength. Once this power erupted within the Heavenly Cloud Manor, the consequences would be unimaginable!
This time, Xiao Yan fused his Pill Fusion into a terrifying bomb!
