Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 284 Refining Cold Pill

As dusk settled, Xiao Yan and the two snake women arrived at the place where he would temporarily reside among the snake-people.

Although it's not quite as good as what I used to do in the Izumo Empire, it still has everything I need: rooms for cultivation, rooms for alchemy...

After traveling with the two snake women for a while, Xiao Yan finally learned their names.

The younger snake girl, whose snake tail resembled a delicate apricot, was named Yue Xing'er. The older snake girl, whose snake tail was entirely a bright blue, was named Yue Lan'er.

In the misty bath, the snake sisters each carried a basket of flower petals and carefully sprinkled them into the water in several batches, their movements skillful, suggesting they had received specialized training.

However, judging from the fact that their pretty faces were already dripping with embarrassment, it was clear that this was the first time either of them had served a man a bath.

After the petals were scattered, although the two had blushes on their beautiful faces, they were quick and gentle, removing Xiao Yan's black robe.

Xiao Yan had lived this kind of life since he was a child. Although the people serving him this time were two snake women, he was already used to it.

The two snake women, however, had not taken off their exquisite brocade dresses, but they were already soaked through and almost transparent.

The material of their dresses perfectly accentuated their curvaceous and alluring figures.

There's no denying that taking a hot shower is a very pleasant experience.

Especially when served by two beautiful snake women.

The snake's tail, interwoven with red and blue, glided through the water, revealing the snake woman's allure. Xiao Yan's cultivation of the "Fourfold Vajra" secret technique had always been at an extremely high speed, almost at its peak.

After changing Xiao Yan into a dry black robe, Lan'er glanced at the bed, her voice tinged with shyness and coquettishness: "Young Master, aren't you going to rest?"

"Do you think I got this treatment for nothing?" Xiao Yan shrugged. "You guys can go now. I still have a lot to do."

After stretching his wrists, Xiao Yan plunged into the alchemy room and retrieved the Black Demon from the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking.

At the same time, Xiao Yan also took out the icy spirit spring water from the pool.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire room plummeted, and a chilling aura suddenly emanated from it.

The Cold Extreme Pill is a special kind of elixir.

Its only ingredient is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, which is extremely demanding on the alchemist's skills.

With a flick of his finger, a stream of icy spring water shot into the Black Demon Cauldron.

This powerful medicine cauldron itself carried a violent heat, and as soon as the Ice Spirit Cold Spring entered, the two things with different attributes collided.

With a flick of his finger, Xiao Yan projected a black and white yin-yang flame into the Black Demon Cauldron, instantly harmonizing the energy within the cauldron with the yin and yang forces.

The Yin-Yang Twin Flames did not come into direct contact with the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, but rather remained at a distance from it, forming a black and white ring.

At the same time, Xiao Yan's powerful soul force rapidly emanated from between his eyebrows, quickly enveloping the fist-sized Ice Spirit Cold Spring, compressing its volume as if compressing Dou Qi when condensing a Dou Qi vortex.

Suppressed by an external force, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring reacted violently.

A terrifying chill burst forth, even traveling through his soul power to Xiao Yan's brow.

The extreme chill arrived in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but shiver.

Fortunately, only a fist-sized amount of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was taken out. If the entire pool of water were used at once, only an eighth-grade alchemist like Yao Lao could refine it.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan suddenly changed his hand seals and increased the output of his soul power.

In terms of this increased power, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring suddenly shrank by one-fifth in size, and its cold energy became more concentrated.

Originally in liquid form, the ice flakes condensed and gradually showed a tendency to solidify into ice crystals.

However, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring's resistance was still strong, gathering its power to attack the weak points covered by Xiao Yan's soul power at any time.

Having refined medicine for many years, Xiao Yan's strength is far inferior to that of Yao Lao in his prime, but his insights in this field have long surpassed his master's.

The Yin-Yang Twin Flames surrounding the outer edge use this force against the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, immediately providing a boost whenever it is about to break through the binding force of the soul power, forcing all the cold air back inside.

This two-pronged approach requires exquisite control over both the strange fire and the power of the soul.

Using the power of the strange fire too strongly will consume the energy of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, wasting this rare natural treasure.

If one's soul power cannot balance strength and gentleness, it is merely brute force, and with Xiao Yan's strength, it would be difficult to sustain it until the end of the alchemy process.

In the back-and-forth pulling, the savagery of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was gradually smoothed out, and its volume shrank at a visible rate.

Ultimately, the fist-sized icy spring was compressed into a crystal the size of a water droplet.

The terrifyingly cold energy is compressed to this extent; if it were projected onto an enemy, even a Dou Zong expert would not be able to withstand it.

Xiao Yan casually gestured towards the pool beside him, and another stream of icy spring water of the same volume flowed into the medicine cauldron.

An opening appeared in the ring formed by the Yin and Yang flames, and the soul power within it also tore open, allowing the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to enter.

Having had a successful experience, Xiao Yan became much more proficient in refining techniques.

As the new Ice Spirit Cold Spring enveloped the highly condensed water droplets, before the cold air within the droplets could leak out, Xiao Yan immediately increased his soul power several times over, rapidly compressing the two.

Ice Spirit Cold Spring belatedly realized what was happening and tried to mobilize its power to resist, but it was no match for Xiao Yan's powerful soul force.

After a brief stalemate, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring became somewhat discouraged. Xiao Yan then reduced his soul power and began to pull against the Ice Spirit Cold Spring again, slowly compressing its energy.

Having learned from his first experience, Xiao Yan understood the characteristics of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. As long as he suppressed the Ice Spirit Cold Spring's first counterattack, he would save a lot of effort afterward.

The streams of icy spring water were compressed and condensed, and the initial drop of crystal inside the Black Demon Cauldron slowly grew larger, while the pool of icy spring water decreased at a visible rate.

After refining this quantity of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that his control over the Strange Fire had been further enhanced.

By harmonizing the two energies of ice and fire, Xiao Yan gained a new understanding of the Yin and Yang concepts in the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

This will be of great benefit to the subsequent condensation of the alien bone spirit cold fire.

The Cold Extreme Pill contains pure icy energy, which is only a part of what the Bone Spirit Cold Fire needs to condense.

To condense the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, one must first consume the Extreme Cold Pill and then cultivate.

From a certain perspective, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, a strange flame that combines ice and fire, is somewhat similar to the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

When all the icy spring water was exhausted, a pale white pill floated quietly inside the Black Demon Cauldron.
