While Xiao Yan was entering a cultivation state, Leng Bingshuang was also not daring to be careless and began to cultivate cross-legged. She did this naturally in order to refine the Bodhi Restoration Pill.
Because of the previous incident at the Cold Pool, Leng Bingshuang had not yet recovered her strength to its peak before the Cold Pool's eruption completely wiped out her Origin Qi. Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, Leng Bingshuang had no choice but to restore her strength to its peak state first.
Time flies, and a week has already passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the cave, Xiao Yan, who sat cross-legged like a statue, slightly twitched his eyelids, slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, parted his lips slightly, and exhaled the turbid air that had been pent up in his chest.
With a slight twist of his body and a push from his legs, Xiao Yan sat up from his cross-legged position. At the same time, as he twisted, a series of cracking sounds of bones colliding echoed throughout Xiao Yan body.
A tingling sensation spread throughout his body, causing Xiao Yan to let out a long, comfortable breath. He casually moved his body a few times, feeling his Dou Qi return to its peak. A smile slowly appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
Each time Xiao Yan's internal Dou Qi was excessively consumed and then restored, his strength would become more solidified. Although this process of accumulation was slow and long, cultivation was a path that required gradual progress. Even a small amount of growth, like a drop of water, was enough for Xiao Yan to devote his full efforts to.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan looked at the cyan-gold medicine cauldron before him. Its unique metallic luster made it appear even heavier than it looked. Xiao Yan crossed his legs and sat cross-legged before the cauldron once more. With a thought, the vast and boundless Spiritual Strength between his brows poured out, surging into the massive cauldron before him. At the same time, Xiao Yan's own powerful Dou Qi was also injected.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, brilliant flames rose up from the medicine cauldron, the light shining through the cauldron's fire vent onto Xiao Yan's face. His calm, dark eyes reflected the changes within the medicine cauldron.
Xiao Yan remained calm, patiently waiting for the temperature inside the medicine cauldron to gradually rise. At a certain moment, when the temperature inside the medicine cauldron reached the level Xiao Yan Xiao Yan expected, he suddenly waved his sleeve, and a gale swept out. Streams of light shot out from Xiao Yan's palm like flying arrows and quickly entered the medicine cauldron, whose lid had already been opened.
The raging Heavenly Flames surged forward without hesitation, frantically refining the medicinal herbs already placed into the cauldron as Xiao Yan's internal Dou Qi continued to be consumed.
Having gained experience in refining the Bodhi Restoration Pill, Xiao Yan felt more confident in refining third-tier pills, which was undoubtedly a good thing. After all, confidence is the beginning of success. Of course, excessive confidence will inevitably lead to a tragic outcome. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's confidence was still based on caution.
Only with prepared confidence can the chances of failure be minimized, because he can already imagine what failure would look like, and naturally he will be more careful to avoid such a situation. At this moment, Xiao Yan is like a mold. The exact shape of the Ice Spirit Pill in his mind seems to have been answered long ago. All he has to do now is to inject the raw materials into the mold and wait for time to pass, and the pill will naturally be completed.
Time flies, and before we know it, a month has passed.
The medicinal herbs in Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron have all been transformed into various extremely pure medicinal liquids, and under Xiao Yan's vigorous control, they are preparing to enter the next stage of the Pill Fusion process.
Meanwhile, in the heart of Xilin, after more than a month of recovery, Leng Bingshuang finally emerged from her cultivation state. After a brief rest, she swallowed the Bodhi Restoration Pill and entered a cultivation state once again, focusing intently on refining the Bodhi Restoration Pill within her body.
Outside, deep within the Xilin Mountain Range, at the bottom of a volcano, the three Tian Ying brothers, along with A Bao, were also there.
Before the four people stood a huge stone platform, engraved with some kind of intricate runes that were difficult to decipher. In the center of the platform, there was a scarlet Magic Core that looked like a crystal ball. This Magic Core was none other than the Five-Star Dou Di level Magic Core!
At this moment, the four people had their eyes tightly closed. With their breathing rhythm perfectly synchronized, powerful energy filled with violent intent gradually surged out from the Magic Core, like scarlet blood, climbing up their bodies and flowing into them with each breath.
Originally, Xiao Yan didn't plan to let A Bao refine the energy within the Magic Core. After all, they had only known each other for a very short time, and dividing such powerful energy into three parts would greatly reduce the utilization rate of the Magic Core. In Xiao Yan's original estimate, if the three Tian Ying brothers completely absorbed the energy of the Magic Core, their strength should all reach the level of Two-Star Dou Di. However, if one more person was added, it would be hard to say.
As for inviting A Bao to join, it was Tian Ying who proposed it. He knew that Xiao Yan had intended to keep A Bao in the Xilin Mountain Range from the beginning, and this invitation would undoubtedly help Ah Bao while making A Bao feel grateful to both Xiao Yan and them. Even if it meant losing some of the Magic Core's energy, it would still be a great deal. From any perspective, they would not lose out on this deal.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. During this time, Xiao Yan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of refining medicine. Fortunately, this time, Xiao Yan did not make any mistakes in refining the Ice Spirit Pill. He completed the process almost in one go. Now, a perfectly round pill is floating in the medicine cauldron in front of Xiao Yan. The final step of the Pill Nurturing process is about to be completed.
The smooth progress filled Xiao Yan with joy, but he also dared not be careless in the slightest. The closer he got to this crucial moment, the more he had to grit his teeth. Only when the pill was truly finished could Xiao Yan truly relax.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, white mist rose high into the sky, followed by a thunderous boom...
Inside the cave, Xiao Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged for half a year, finally awoke leisurely. A tired smile appeared on his pale face. With a flick of his finger, the Northern King reappeared beside him.
Pill Lightning descends, the Northern King emerges!
