Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 95 The Successive Appearances of Dan Lei

All eyes are now on Xiao Li, because he is the only alchemist with a different kind of fire, and most of the people present are curious about what it is like to use a different kind of fire to refine medicine.

On the high platform, Xuan Kongzi frowned: "Why is this little fellow using the black Yin Fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames to refine pills? Doesn't he know that Yin Fire is full of destructive power, and medicinal herbs will turn to ashes if they come into contact with it?"

Based on the characteristics of Yin-Yang dual flames, alchemists in ancient books who possessed Yin-Yang dual flames all used white Yang fire to refine pills. Yang fire contains vitality, which can reduce the conflict of medicinal properties when refining pills.

Xiao Li, on the other hand, directly used black Yin Fire to refine pills.

Tian Leizi and Xuan Yi both stared at Xiao Li. Xuan Yi frowned, then examined him carefully.

"Xuan Kongzi, look at that Yin Fire. Although it is incredibly powerful, it seems to be deliberately controlled. It refines the medicinal herbs, but their essence is not destroyed."

Women should be more meticulous.

Xuan Kongzi observed carefully again, fully utilizing his late-stage Spirit Realm soul power. He discovered that deep within the black fire in Xiao Li's medicine cauldron, there was white fire. The medicinal powder refined by the black fire would be directly sent into the white fire for nurturing.

"So that's how it is. It seems his fire control technique is extremely high. He generates yang from yin and exchanges it back and forth. This requires a very high level of soul control and a very high level of mastery over the flames."

It seems his compatibility with the Yin-Yang Twin Flames is extremely high! He's probably like Yao Chen, his soul bound to a different flame.

Xuan Kongzi stroked his beard and said that he had actually met a second person with such a high degree of compatibility with the strange fire.

"That's not all. Xuan Kongzi, look at that kid's strange fire." Tian Leizi said at this moment, "We have all seen the Nine Dragons Thunderfire of Burning Flame Valley. The Yin-Yang Twin Flames in his hand feel to me no less than the Nine Dragons Thunderfire."

"This shouldn't be happening. One is ranked twelfth on the Strange Flame Ranking, and the other is twenty-first. The difference is so great, yet the Yin-Yang Twin Flames in his hands possess such power."

Upon hearing Tian Leizi's words, Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi also focused their attention on the strange fire in Xiao Li's hand.

Xuan Kongzi sighed, "It's a pity that he's the only one with a different kind of fire at this year's Pill Gathering, so we can't compare him with the others. If Yao Chen were here, he could probably give us a clear assessment."

"Sigh~"

. . . . .

On the stone platform, Xiao Li was immersed in alchemy. This was Xiao Li's first time refining pills since his soul realm reached the Spirit Realm. He found that his control over refining medicinal materials and controlling the heat had significantly improved.

Furthermore, Xiao Li discovered that after refining the medicinal herbs into powder, the powder would contain a trace of spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy was very thin, it significantly improved the quality of the powder.

So this is the direct difference between an eighth-grade alchemist and a seventh-grade alchemist—it lies in their spirituality!

Xiao Li's lips curled slightly as he continued to refine the medicinal herbs, turning them into powder and liquid.

After more than an hour, Xiao Li finished refining all the auxiliary medicines, and then turned his attention to the five main ingredients of the Hunyuan Breakthrough Pill!

Mysterious Azure Spirit Fruit, Demon Blood Spirit Fruit Juice, Ascension Grass, Seventh-Order Wind Attribute Demon Core, Seventh-Order Lightning Attribute Demon Core.

Following the order of the pill formula, Xiao Li first refined two demon cores, stimulating the energy within them. However, the energy of these two demon cores was extremely violent and difficult to refine, so what followed was a protracted battle.

Xiao Li began refining the energy of the demon core. After refining for a while, Xiao Li took a Qi-inducing pill to restore his own fighting spirit.

At this moment, Xiao Li's fighting spirit was not severely depleted, but this time he was going to gamble on an eighth-grade pill! Therefore, he needed to keep his fighting spirit at its best. If he were to run out of fighting spirit and faint, it would be very embarrassing.

As time went by, the two demonic cores were gradually refined by the Yin-Yang Heart Flame. Just as the liquid formed from the two demonic cores was about to merge, Xiao Li threw the Xuan Tian Qing Ling Fruit into it.

"Transform the demon core, then use the Xuan Tian Qing Ling Fruit to harmonize it."

The energy from both magic cores was transferred to the Xuan Tian Qing Ling Fruit. Wind and lightning attributes would easily clash if they came into contact, but the Xuan Tian Qing Ling Fruit could perfectly reconcile the conflict between wind and lightning attributes.

Next comes the moment to refine the Profound Heaven Azure Spirit Fruit. Such spiritual objects have a certain ability to protect themselves, so refining the Profound Heaven Azure Spirit Fruit is a tug-of-war.

However, Xiao Li could afford to wait it out. He loved protracted battles because he could replenish his Qi with Instant Qi Pills at any time to restore his fighting spirit and prepare for the later core condensation.

As time went by, the Xuan Tian Qing Ling Fruit was finally refined. Xiao Li waved his hand and put the other refined medicinal powders, liquids, and Demon Blood Spirit Fruit into the medicine cauldron to begin the refining process!

At this moment, the medicine cauldron contained a pool of liquid with various colors mixed together, including cyan, blue, silver, and dark red.

The preliminary steps for refining the Primordial Breakthrough Pill have been completed. The next step is the most important one: pill fusion.

At this moment, on the stone platform in mid-air, all the contestants were solemnly controlling the heat and refining the pills in their respective cauldrons. Even the spectators in the square were quite quiet, waiting for the moment when the pills were successfully made!

Alchemy is extremely time-consuming; high-quality pills often require several days, ten days, or even dozens of days to produce.

As time goes by, there will naturally be some incidents, such as some alchemists blowing up their cauldrons or ruining their pills. However, there is still enough time to prepare for the second pill refining.

Everything went smoothly for Xiao Li. He had already refined all the medicinal herbs into medicinal liquid. Now, inside his medicine cauldron, there was a pool of colorful medicinal liquid, which emitted considerable energy fluctuations, but all of them were contained within this eighth-order medicine cauldron.

Xiao Li had already changed his flame. During the fusion process, he preferred to use white yang fire to warm the medicinal liquid for a period of time before fusing the pill.

As time passed, many contestants had already refined their own pills. This world was filled with the phenomena of fifth-grade and sixth-grade pills, and all sorts of sixth-grade pills appeared in mid-air. This world was also filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

Although many participants have completed the refining of their pills, none of them have triggered pill lightning, indicating that these pills are not grade seven pills.

boom!

Half a day later, a clap of thunder resounded across the sky, and a dark cloud appeared in the sky.

"Dan Lei! A seventh-grade elixir has been created!"

Upon witnessing this extraordinary phenomenon, the audience in the square immediately became alert. At this moment, countless eyes were focused on an old man on the stone platform, as it was this old man who had summoned the Dan Lei.

Dan Lei's appearance did not attract Xiao Li's attention. Xiao Li didn't even want to look at it. His attention was entirely focused on the medicine cauldron. At this moment, the pool of multicolored medicinal liquid in Xiao Li's medicine cauldron had condensed into a large, multicolored liquid, which had become quite concentrated.

Following the appearance of the first bolt of pill lightning, the second, third, and fourth bolts also appeared. The intensity of these bolts varied, but most were low-grade seventh rank, with only one or two being mid-grade seventh rank.

Many succeeded, but some failed. Several seventh-grade alchemists encountered problems when condensing the pills at the last moment, causing their hard work of nearly twenty days to be in vain.

Failure in alchemy is a common phenomenon; even Xiao Li cannot guarantee a 100% success rate in alchemy.
