The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

At this time, Cui Yi focused all his energy on alchemy.

Remaking a pill requires more effort than refining a pill from scratch, and this was Cui Yi's first attempt at remaking a failed pill.

The Flame Control Technique was quietly activated, and Cui Yi controlled wisps of mental energy to seep into the remaining pills.

To outsiders, Cui Yi's alchemical fire still appears as a single flame, but in reality, it has transformed into a tiny stream of fire that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye!

Under the tempering of the alchemical fire, the impurities inside the pill are gradually burned away, and the remaining medicinal power is perfectly harmonized.

The form of the first fragment of the pill is quietly changing!

In just a few breaths, the charred blackness on the surface of the pill had quickly faded.

The color also gradually changed from a dark, burnt black to a warm, light green jade luster!

Seeing this, the spectator area fell into a deathly silence, with countless eyes fixed on Cui Yi's hand!

To be precise, they were staring at the pill in Cui Yi's hand!

Many of the high-ranking members of the Danta who were watching the conference had their eyes sparkling, as if they had discovered a treasure.

"This...this is..."

"Refining elixir by hand?"

"I have indeed heard of such miraculous transformations, but it requires an incredibly profound understanding of the heat and the properties of the medicine to be possible!"

"He didn't even need to borrow a furnace! He relied entirely on his own control over the flames!"

"Genius! This is genius!"

"They actually managed to separate the impurities that were mixed together from the discarded pills!"

"Even if this is just a first-grade pill, this terrifying control over it demonstrates that this person's talent in alchemy is nothing short of monstrous!"

Many members of the Danta looked at Cui Yi as if he were a monster!

Although they couldn't see the specific changes in the ball of pill fire in Cui Yi's palm, they could clearly sense that the originally ugly pill was emitting the aura of pill formation at an abnormal speed!

boom!

A thunderclap suddenly rose from the ground, like a heavy thud of the pulse of heaven and earth, instantly drowning out all the noise and exclamations!

Everyone felt a jolt in their hearts at that moment, and involuntarily looked up at the sky.

There were no dark clouds.

There were no unusual phenomena.

The next instant, a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket suddenly struck the top of Cui Yi's palm, the pill that had just been tempered!

Cui Yi's expression froze. Damn!

Elixir!

Could it be that the pills he painstakingly refined were shattered by this inexplicable lightning strike?

A person can be unlucky, but they absolutely cannot be this unlucky!

The purple lightning bolt came quickly and went quickly. After the smoke and dust cleared, the pill that had been struck by it was completely intact!

This elixir not only didn't become useless, but instead burst forth with an unprecedentedly intense light!

Immediately afterwards, the smooth surface of the pill, as if sculpted by an invisible carving knife, slowly revealed mysterious patterns!

A clear and complete ring pattern quietly spreads out, connecting end to end, perfectly natural!

"Dan...Danwen?!"

"How is this possible?! It's a Danwen pattern!"

"A first-grade pill can actually have pill patterns? And at least one complete pill pattern?!"

"A failed attempt to refine a pill by hand has actually resulted in a perfect pill with pill patterns?!"

After a brief silence, a massive wave of sound swept across the entire square like a tsunami!

All the gazes directed at Cui Yi completely changed!

If Cui Yi's method of refining pills with his bare hands had already made them regard him as a monster, then...

The appearance of this Qi Condensation Powder with clear pill patterns completely overturned their understanding!

They even developed a slight fear of the unknown and mysterious!

Crimson patterns!

That is a symbol of the pills reaching a certain ultimate perfection, and a miracle that countless alchemists dream of!

Even high-level alchemists need the right timing, location, and people, plus immense luck, to have a chance of obtaining pill patterns when refining high-grade pills.

And why would a pill pattern appear on a basic first-grade pill like the Qi Condensation Powder?

This is simply unheard of!

Even more terrifying is that Cui Yi did not refine pills normally, but instead reforged three broken pills that were almost ruined due to the furnace explosion!

The difficulty involved is hundreds or thousands of times greater than the normal process of refining pills with pill patterns.

Upon realizing that he had caused too much of a commotion, Cui Yi's eyelids twitched.

He understands the principle of "the tallest tree in the forest," but the problem is that he didn't intentionally show off, so how did he cause such a big fuss?

Crimson patterns?

What the hell is this thing?!

Why has no one ever mentioned this to him?

Despite not understanding, Cui Yi could tell from the exaggerated expressions of these people that he was no longer simply putting on a show.

It's like running wildly through a dark forest with a torch; it's impossible not to attract attention.

No, I need to find a way to disguise myself...

Looking at the other two pills floating in front of him, Cui Yi instantly had an idea.

Alchemy is an extremely demanding and mentally taxing task.

As a second-grade alchemist, it's already quite unsolvable that I could accomplish something so difficult.

If he hadn't suffered any damage yet, Cui Yi would have thought they were being merciful by not being captured and dissected for research.

When in doubt, just pretend to be confused!

In any case, the existence of such a pill is enough to let the alchemists in the Pill Tower see his abilities.

Cui Yi's lips curled into a smile, and the calmness on his face quickly vanished, replaced by extreme weakness. His body swayed almost imperceptibly.

"puff!"

After a suppressed groan, Cui Yi's pale face instantly turned into an unhealthy flush!

On the high platform, the burning gaze in the eyes of the purple-robed elders and others froze slightly as they stared intently at Cui Yi's condition.

"He... seems to have reached his limit?"

"Indeed, refining pill patterns by hand is incredibly taxing on the mind and spiritual energy! Even a Core Formation expert might not be able to do it easily!"

"It seems that the pill with the pill pattern just now had already exceeded its usual limits, exhausting its full potential..."

The surrounding chatter resumed, but this time, it carried a more understandable sense of regret.

Cui Yi himself seemed to have all his strength drained away, his body swayed violently, and the light in his eyes quickly faded.

thump!

The moment Cui Yi fell, the expressions of the Danta executives watching the match all changed!

The purple-robed elder who had previously shown considerable interest in Cui Yi disregarded his own status in the slightest.

With a flick of his sleeve, he left a faint afterimage in place before his true form vanished like a ghost.

In the next instant, it landed steadily beside the stone platform where Cui Yi lay!

The speed was so fast that many low-level cultivators only saw a blur before their eyes.

As soon as the old man squatted down, he used his gentlest divine sense to probe into Cui Yi's body and examine him carefully.

This wisp of divine consciousness seemed gentle and harmless, but its route and coverage area immediately set off alarm bells in the unconscious Cui Yi's mind, and he cursed under his breath as an old fox!

On the surface, it appeared to be checking his injuries, but in reality, this divine sense traveled through all eight of his extraordinary meridians.

If Cui Yi has any unique traces of cultivation techniques or any unusual spiritual abnormalities that don't conform to common sense, they are very likely to be exposed under the meticulous probing of a Core Formation Realm cultivator's spiritual sense!

This old guy is clearly worried that he'll be possessed!
