Vibrating the Dou Qi Wings, Yun Tianming and Cai Lin, who was walking on air, flew for nearly an hour and estimated that they had entered the depths of the Magic Beast Mountains. Yun Tianming released his Soul Power to sense the surrounding environment.
"Cai Lin, please clear out the nearby Magic Beasts."
"Okay."
Without hesitation, Cai Lin followed his instructions. The powerful aura of a Dou Ancestor quickly sent the nearby Magic Beasts fleeing in panic.
Yun Tianming found a steep mountain peak, and as he looked out, clouds swirled around.
"When I refine the Spirit Fusion Pill, don't go too far, because the formation of a Sixth Grade Pill will be accompanied by intense energy fluctuations, which can easily attract the attention of various forces. While I am in the state of refining medicine, I can't move, so I entrust my life to you, Cai Lin!"
Yun Tianming said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Cai Lin also nodded seriously. Her faint voice was filled with unparalleled determination: "As long as I am here, no one will dare to approach you half a step!"
"Then, let's begin!"
Yun Tianming took a deep breath, took out the most precious Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron from his Spatial Ring, and with a wave of his hand, summoned the Green Ocean Lotus Flame.
Various precious medicinal ingredients were successively placed into the cauldron, and the Heavenly Flame was carefully controlled to refine them.
The difficulty of refining a Sixth Grade Pill was extraordinary. The first step of refining alone took a full two hours. Such a huge consumption would generally require a Dou King expert to use recovery pills for replenishment. However, Yun Tianming had the Earth Rank Mid Level Flame Mantra Qi Method, allowing him to continuously absorb energy from the heavens and the earth.
Cai Lin quietly watched Yun Tianming refine the medicine from the side. She knew nothing about alchemy and couldn't make sense of it, but she thought Yun Tianming looked quite nice when he was serious.
This man... if only he weren't so fickle.
Wait, what am I thinking?
This must be the influence of the Heaven Swallowing Python!
Cai Lin shook her head vigorously, as if to shake off the distracting thoughts in her mind.
The process of refining medicine was very tedious. A day passed.
With a puff, black smoke billowed from the cauldron, announcing the failure of the refinement.
"Did I use a bit too much force when separating the impurities?"
Yun Tianming frowned, reflecting on the details of the failure.
"Do you want to take a break?"
Cai Lin, well aware of the difficulty in refining a Sixth Grade Pill, did not blame Yun Tianming for his failure.
"No, this level of consumption is nothing."
Yun Tianming activated his Qi Method, and after a brief adjustment, his Dou Qi was restored. With a flash from the Spatial Ring in his hand, he took out the second set of materials. Fortunately, he was well-prepared and had collected multiple sets of materials in advance.
Having learned from the first failure, the second attempt went much more smoothly.
It took only a day for Yun Tianming to complete the refining and separation. Although the process of merging the materials was somewhat troublesome, he managed to complete it without any major issues thanks to his powerful Soul Power.
On the second night, a faint blue Pill prototype began to form in the cauldron, signaling the final step of pill formation!
"Is it finally going to succeed?"
A gleam of excitement flashed in Cai Lin's eyes. At the moment the Pill prototype appeared, she could clearly sense the sudden fluctuation of the surrounding heaven and earth energy, as if a giant stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Yun Tianming had no energy to pay attention to the violent fluctuations of the external energy. He was fully focused on the changes of the Pill in the cauldron. At such a critical moment, he couldn't afford any distraction.
As time passed, the irregularly shaped faint blue Pill prototype gradually became more rounded. Radiant blue light emanated from it, turning it into a beautiful blue gem.
At the moment the Pill burst into radiant light, waves of energy ripples, almost tangible, surged out continuously from the cauldron, spreading in all directions in a spectacular manner.
"Space Lock!"
Cai Lin waved her hand, distorting space to intercept most of the energy ripples from spreading outward.
"Don't relax, there's still a bigger commotion coming!"
Yun Tianming, his eyes fixed intently on the cauldron, couldn't help but remind Cai Lin.
Cai Lin's expression turned serious as she reinforced the space lock with both hands.
"Ha!"
Yun Tianming let out a loud shout. Instantly, the lake-blue flames inside the cauldron surged, almost covering the entire Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron. The radiant blue gem inside became even more dazzling.
The blue gem, initially the size of a fist, suddenly shrank rapidly to the size of a pill, turning into a deeper, dark blue color.
"Buzz—!!"
As the fully formed Pill flew out of the cauldron, a thunderous explosion sounded out of nowhere, followed by a deep blue beam of light several meters wide shooting skyward, colliding with Cai Lin's spatial lock.
"Crack!"
The spatial lock was shattered with a crack, and a strand of dense energy leaked out.
"The formation of a Sixth Grade Pill is actually this immense!"
Cai Lin frowned. Despite her Dou Ancestor strength, she couldn't fully intercept it.
"The power of the Heavenly Flame is immense, and the commotion during pill formation is even greater. The quality of this Pill will be better as well."
Yun Tianming sent the warm Pill through the air to Cai Lin's hand. "This is your Spirit Fusion Pill. Next, I need to refine other Sixth Grade Pills."
——————
"Hmm?!"
"What a strong energy fluctuation! This commotion can only be caused by the formation of at least a Sixth Grade Pill!"
In his old eyes, a sharp light flashed. Su Qian's gaze seemed to pierce through the spatial distance, directly projecting towards the direction of the back mountain of the inner academy.
"Yun Tianming is not only powerful, but his alchemy skills are also remarkable. Fortunately, he is not an enemy of our Jia Nan Academy."
Thousands of miles away in the Black-Corner Region, Yan City.
"Well done, Xiao Yan. Now your strength has reached 1 Star Dou King."
"Thank you for the Pill, Teacher."
Having become a Dou King, Xiao Yan gradually emerged from the shadow of the three-year agreement's failure and regained his confidence!
"Teacher, you—"
"Quiet! Concentrate your Spirit!"
Yao Chen's Soul form instantly flew into the sky, his gaze fixed tightly on the direction of Jia Nan Academy.
"This fluctuation, the sign of a Sixth Grade Pill forming!"
Using the Dou Qi Wings for the first time, Xiao Yan hovered unsteadily in mid-air, asking in surprise, "According to the collected information, the head of the alchemy department at Jia Nan Academy, Old Huo, is just a peak Fifth Grade Alchemist. It should be very difficult for him to refine a Sixth Grade Pill, right? Could it be that he has broken through?"
"The situation is unclear. Jia Nan Academy has barriers in place, making it difficult for me to investigate deeply without risking alerting them."
"However, based on my calculations, the Fallen Heart Flame within Jia Nan Academy is on the verge of erupting."
"We need to gather the strong fighters from the Black-Corner Region and prepare for a forceful seizure!"
