Chapter 80 - Pill Completed

The moment the purple pill appeared, a fierce energy ripple suddenly surged out from the pill. Although part of this energy ripple was intercepted by the medicine cauldron when it passed through it, the rest still seeped out and rushed violently in all directions. Judging from this situation, if it is allowed to spread, this room will collapse immediately.

After taking a quick glance at the rapidly spreading energy ripples, Xiao Ling waved his white hand casually. An invisible soul energy formed a transparent energy shield in the room in the blink of an eye.

When the energy ripples came into contact with the energy shield formed by soul power, the two collided with each other. Suddenly, waves of energy ripples began to emanate from the invisible energy shield, just like the surface of a lake with a huge stone thrown into it.

The ripples gradually changed from violent to subtle, and after a moment, they finally dissipated completely.

When the last energy ripple dissipated, Xiao Ling removed the soul shield and pointed his palm towards the medicine cauldron. The pale purple pill was sprayed out by the cauldron and fell obediently into Xiao Ling's palm.

Holding the purple pill, Xiao Ling turned it over and over, examining it carefully.

The surface of this pill was light purple, and the whole body was round and shiny. Moreover, on the surface of the pill, there seemed to be a kind of strange pattern that was not artificially created. These patterns were winding and winding, like a special picture with a deep meaning. Observing this Breaking Adversity Pill up close, Xiao Ling could vaguely feel the strange power contained in it. Perhaps, this was the main ingredient that could break the seal...

He nodded slightly and said to himself, "I have finally made this Breaking Adversity Pill. The quality of this pill is absolutely beyond reproach. It took me nearly two and a half days to complete it, which is much longer than the time I spent refining the sixth-grade pill for the elders in the inner courtyard before."

Taking his eyes away from the Breaking Adversity Pill, Xiao Ling took out an exquisitely crafted jade bottle from his storage ring and carefully put the Breaking Adversity Pill into it. Then he looked at the large pile of remaining medicinal materials on the table, and with a smile on his face, he unceremoniously swept all these rare herbs into his storage ring.

"It's so easy to make money as an Alchemist. Not to mention other Alchemists, people like me have a high success rate in refining pills, so I have to stuff lots of medicinal herbs into my storage ring." After putting the medicinal herbs into the storage ring, Xiao Ling couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After putting the medicine cauldron in front of him into the storage ring, Xiao Ling stood up, stretched, tidied his slightly messy robe, took the jade bottle containing the Breaking Adversity Pill, and walked around the room. After seeing that nothing was missed, Xiao Ling walked towards the door of the room with brisk steps.

...

In the slightly dim corridor, Hai Bodong leaned against the wall. Although his old face looked quite calm, his fingers tapping on the wall continuously showed how nervous and anxious he was at the moment.

Feeling the time slowly passing, Hai Bodong looked back at the closed room at the end of the corridor, frowning. After a moment, he sighed. The materials for refining the Breaking Adversity Pill were not easy to find. It took him nearly several years to gather these herbs. If Xiao Ling failed to refine it, then his wish to restore his strength would probably be delayed again...  

Rubbing his palms, Hai Bodong's calm face finally began to reveal some worries, and he murmured in a low voice: "Did it fail? Alas, it seems that I was still a little reckless. Although that guy's strength has reached that of a Dou Wang, and his talent is also monstrous, he is too young after all... Even if he has been practicing alchemy since his mother's womb, it has only been more than ten years... How much can he achieve in alchemy in more than ten years?"

Fists and palms smashed together heavily, Hai Bodong's face changed for a while, and after a moment, he shook his head dejectedly and said with a wry smile: "At this point, we can only hope that guy can bring some miracles. After all, he possesses that extremely terrifying golden fire..."

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere in the corridor gradually became filled with an impatient vibe as time passed.

His fingers were tapping the wall impatiently. At a certain moment, the Dou Qi suddenly swirled up from his fingers, and when he tapped hard, he actually made a hole in the wall.

"Go and take a look!" Hai Bodong's dry face twitched. He finally couldn't bear the torment of waiting anymore. He took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, and was about to walk into the corridor.

The moment Hai Bodong turned around, his body suddenly stiffened, his face filled with astonishment, staring blankly at the blue-robed youth leaning against the wall in the corridor, smiling at him. After a long moment, he swallowed his saliva, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and asked anxiously: "Master Xiao Ling, has the Breaking Adversity Pill been successfully refined?"

Xiao Ling spread his hands, walked slowly towards Hai Bodong who was full of anxiety, waved his hand lightly, and threw a jade bottle to Hai Bodong: "I'm lucky, I barely succeeded, luckily you prepared enough herbs, which gave me some room for error. This is also the first time I've made this kind of unconventional pill recipe."

Looking at the jade bottle that was thrown over, Hai Bodong almost used all his hands and feet, looking extremely embarrassed. He held it carefully in both hands as if he was catching his own son, his eyes fixed on the purple pill in the jade bottle, and a look of ecstasy and shock surged on his old face.

He was naturally ecstatic because he had obtained the Breaking Adversity Pill as he wished. He was shocked... because he still found it hard to believe that in such a short day, this little guy in front of him, who looked no more than sixteen years old, had perfectly made this sixth-grade pill that even the Pill King Gu He could hardly refine...

"He is worthy of being called the 'First Genius of the Jia Ma Empire'. We cannot look at him with the same eyes as ordinary people." At this moment, Hai Bodong already had a blind confidence in Xiao Ling.

After putting the jade bottle containing the Breaking Adversity Pill into the storage ring, Hai Bodong bowed to Xiao Ling and said solemnly: "Thank you Master Xiao Ling for refining the pill for me. I have been trapped in the Dou Ling realm for decades. Now I can finally recover my Dou Huang cultivation. I don't have to live in seclusion on the edge of the Tager Desert anymore. After my cultivation is restored, as long as Master Xiao Ling needs any help, Hai Bodong and the Miteer family will do our best."
