When the people present saw the ball of fire summoned by Xiao Ling, they all showed surprise and almost recognized its identity at the same time.

As everyone sighed, everyone's eyes revealed an unconcealable envy. Such a flame was not something that everyone could easily see, let alone control.

"As Huo'er said before, Xiao Ling subdued the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, which ranks 13th on the Strange Fire List. This kid is really lucky."

Tang Zhen naturally recognized the strange fire that Xiao Ling summoned at a glance. He had heard Tang Huoer mention that Xiao Ling possessed a strange fire before, and now seeing it with his own eyes, the power and unique form of the fire made him confirm this point again.

Xiao Ling ignored the exclamations and envious looks from the people around him. He focused on using his soul power to precisely control the various medicinal herbs. Each herb seemed to be obeying his command, lightly leaping up and flying into the mountain-melting cauldron in an orderly manner according to his will.

As the herbs were thrown into the Mountain Melting Cauldron one by one, Xiao Ling lightly made a hand seal, and the ferocious giant turtle image that had been dormant in the cauldron instantly exploded into dozens of brown flames and scattered in all directions.

Then, under Xiao Ling's ingenious control, the herbs fell into the split turtle spirit earth fires, and began the process of calcination and quenching. The flames licked the herbs, and a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air.

The alchemists around were all surprised to see Xiao Ling's unique alchemy skills. If you don't have strong enough control over your soul, you can mess it up in a matter of minutes if you extract so many medicinal materials at the same time.

"Master Xiao Ling is trying to do multiple things at once. Will this speed up the process of refining medicine?"

"Is this the true strength of the Grand Master of Alchemy?!"

Xiao Ling ignored the whispers and surprised looks around him and directly increased the speed of refining.

As his fighting spirit surged into the flames, the temperature of the strange fire soared, and the herbs gradually turned to ash in the scorching heat, leaving only the purest essence of the herbs. As the flames leaped, the entire scene became even more spectacular.

Under Xiao Ling's meticulous control, the essence of each herb was perfectly extracted, and every step was done impeccably. The surrounding alchemists were so fascinated by the scene that they even forgot to exclaim in amazement.

Refining a seventh-grade elixir is an extremely complicated matter, not to mention that this Fire Bodhisattva Pill is a seventh-grade high-level elixir, so the difficulty is naturally extraordinary. But in Xiao Ling's hands, all of this seems to have become easy.

The stone platform was silent except for the crackling sound of the burning flames. Drops of medicinal essences were transformed into liquid under the quenching of the turtle spirit earth fire and slowly began to blend. The whole scene was tense and full of mysterious artistic sense.

The difficulty and complexity of refining the Fire Bodhisattva Pill far exceeded everyone's imagination. With such a delicate refining process, even an experienced seventh-grade senior alchemist could not guarantee a high success rate.

Even though Xiao Ling was so skilled in controlling the temperature, and it was not the first time he had refined a seventh-grade high-level elixir, it still took him nearly a day and a night to complete the refining of this elixir.

This is considered relatively long among the seventh-grade elixirs refined by Xiao Ling.

But this speed might seem a bit too long to Xiao Ling himself, but in the eyes of others, Xiao Ling's speed was incredibly fast, even a bit abnormal.

However, these people were also discerning, and they could see that the reason Xiao Ling could refine so quickly was because of his miraculous ability to multitask. This was something they could not learn, so they could only envy him.

As the elixir gradually became perfect, wisps of rich medicinal fragrance slowly wafted out from the cracks in the mouth of the mountain-melting cauldron.

As soon as the onlookers around smelled the fragrance, they realized that the elixir was about to be completed.

Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer's eyes were hot when they saw this scene, and their excitement was beyond words. They were different from other spectators, and this pill meant more to them.

This is not just a pill, it is Tang Huoer's hope of recovery. As long as this pill is produced, Tang Huoer's injuries will be cured.

Just as everyone's hearts were in turmoil, Xiao Ling, who had been sitting like a stone statue, finally stood up slowly...

Swish swish!

As Xiao Ling stood up, countless eager gazes from all around the square seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and suddenly focused on him!

On the high platform, Tang Huoer and Tang Zhen couldn't help but clench their hands. Their eyes were fixed on the tall and handsome young man. Tension and anticipation filled the air.

Facing the countless mixed gazes of various emotions, Xiao Ling seemed to be completely unaware. His face was as calm as water, but his eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron. After a while, he took a deep breath, and then suddenly waved his sleeves!

"Cang!" a crisp sound.

With Xiao Ling's wave, the lid of the Mountain Melting Cauldron flew up, and an astonishing energy wave burst out from inside the cauldron, hitting the inner wall of the cauldron, making a sound of metal clashing that resounded through the sky.

Although the medicine cauldron tried its best to block the spread of energy fluctuations, some energy still leaked out. The stone platforms close to Xiao Ling were instantly cracked under the impact of this energy, and stone chips flew everywhere, creating a spectacular scene.

"Boom!" There was a loud sound like thunder.

Just as the terrifying energy fluctuations began to spread, the Mountain Melting Cauldron suddenly began to shake violently as if its vitality was stimulated.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of countless pairs of shocked eyes, a huge dark brown pillar of fire suddenly rushed towards the sky with a "whoosh"!

The pillar of fire was like a giant dragon, rising into the sky, and the blazing flames illuminated the night sky for a hundred miles.

The disciples of Burning Flame Valley stopped whatever they were doing and looked up at the shocking pillar of fire.

The powerful energy fluctuations contained in the pillar of fire made all the strong men present change color, and an indescribable shock surged in their hearts.

"Hiss~, this energy fluctuation is really strong."

“This power… is undoubtedly at the level of a top-grade seventh-grade elixir.”

"Master Xiao Ling is Master Xiao Ling. The work of an eighth-grade alchemy master is indeed extraordinary. The first move he made was the ultimate performance of a seventh-grade elixir."

The people around were all experts, and after feeling the energy fluctuations, they had a preliminary judgment on the quality of the elixir. The crowd began to whisper and talk, with envy, respect, and heartfelt admiration in their eyes.

It's just that these people didn't really see through the true grade of this pill. Under Xiao Ling's superb refining skills, this pill has surpassed the ordinary top-grade pills and reached the pinnacle of the seventh-grade pill.

Super-quality elixirs are treasures that even ordinary alchemists would find difficult to refine in their entire lives. Only masters who have reached the pinnacle of alchemy skills can occasionally succeed in refining them.

Even the three giants of Danta now only have the opportunity to refine super-high-grade elixirs occasionally when refining fifth-grade or sixth-grade elixirs, and the probability is pitifully small.

Back when Yao Chen was still young, he successfully refined a super-high-grade sixth-grade elixir in Danta. That refining even triggered the elixir thunder that only appeared with seventh-grade elixirs, shocking everyone.

The seventh-grade super-high-grade Fire Bodhisattva Pill that Xiao Ling refined this time performed excellently in terms of efficacy, medicinal purity and stability, and was almost comparable to eighth-grade pills. Although it still belonged to the seventh-grade category according to the classification of pill grades, in fact, its quality had far exceeded the boundaries of all seventh-grade pills.

Just as the discussions around them gradually died down, at the end of the pillar of fire, a strange mist suddenly began to gather on the horizon. The mist seemed to be summoned, condensing quickly, and soon formed a thundercloud, like the angry face of the sky.

Then, dark clouds gathered over the medicine cauldron, and golden lightning flickered in the clouds. An aura that seemed to be able to destroy everything spread.

The lightning seemed to be gathering momentum, waiting to reach an astonishing climax before violently striking the pill below.

This scene was like the sky adding a tense and spectacular color to Xiao Ling's alchemy ceremony.

Next comes the finishing work of refining the pill, which is also the most challenging part, resisting the pill thunder.

This stage is crucial. If one can successfully resist the attack of the pill thunder, then the pill refining can be declared a complete success. But if one cannot resist, the pill thunder will not only destroy the pills that one has worked so hard to refine, but may also cause serious damage to the alchemist himself.

No one had any concerns at all about whether they could successfully resist the impact of the pill thunder. After all, the master of the Burning Flame Valley was watching covetously. This pill was a treasure he urgently needed, so how could he watch it being destroyed?

Besides, with Tang Zhen, a five-star Dou Zun, in charge, he could handle not only the seventh-grade Dan Lei, but even the eighth-grade Dan Lei. Everyone was confident that this situation was very stable!

Tang Zhen stared at the rolling dark clouds, his eyes flashing with excitement. Although he knew that once Xiao Ling made a move, success was a foregone conclusion, he couldn't help but feel happy at this critical moment.

After all, this is not just a pill, but also the hope for his daughter's survival.

As for Tang Huoer, this girl who always remained proud and cold in front of outsiders, at this moment, her eyes looking at Xiao Ling revealed unspeakable complex emotions.

Deep in her heart, an indescribable excitement spread throughout her body, as if she was touched by some invisible force.

The looks from people around him were filled with curiosity, admiration, or worship, but Xiao Ling didn't care at all.

At this moment, his entire attention was focused on the flaming red pill in the medicine cauldron, and a hint of disappointment unconsciously flashed across his eyes...

Chapter 373: The Method of Spiritual Ascension

"Alas, it seems that the quality of this elixir has finally reached its limit." Xiao Ling sighed softly, as if saying to himself, "In this case, let me try that method..."

During the process of refining the seventh-grade advanced Fire Bodhi Pill, Xiao Ling devoted all his energy and displayed his alchemy skills to the fullest.

He originally wanted to try to use his superb alchemy skills and the soul power that had reached the great perfection of the spiritual realm to see if he could push this Fire Bodhi Pill beyond the normal limits of a seventh-grade pill.

After all, Tang Zhen had generously expressed his willingness to give him an extra medicine cauldron on the Tianding list. This great gift made him feel it necessary to demonstrate his strength as a response to this kindness.

In addition, establishing friendly relations with Fenyan Valley would be a good thing for both him personally and Xingyun Pavilion.

But now it seems that it is unlikely to make a breakthrough by relying solely on conventional alchemy techniques. The seventh-grade super-high-quality is already the highest quality that the Fire Bodhisattva Pill can achieve.

But Xiao Ling still has a unique skill, which may be able to make the Fire Bodhi Pill in front of him achieve a qualitative leap, truly break through the boundaries of the seventh-grade pill, and be promoted to a true eighth-grade pill.

It just so happened that although Xiao Ling had mastered this technique before, he had never had the opportunity to test it in actual combat. This time was a good opportunity to try his skills.

"Hahaha, finally... it's almost done. Master Xiao Ling just needs to concentrate on refining the elixir, and leave the elixir thunder to an old fellow like me. How can I let Master Xiao Ling be distracted to take action?"

Seeing that the pill thunder was about to pour down, Tang Zhen's voice trembled with excitement. He was eager to do something, but at the same time he was secretly worried that Xiao Ling might not be able to deal with the power of the pill thunder alone.

After all, according to Tang Zhen's perception, the power of this pill thunder was close to the level of a full-strength attack by a Dou Zong peak powerhouse, and even had a faint Dou Zun-level power. Even those high-level Dou Zong elders in the Burning Flame Valley could not guarantee that they could completely withstand it.

In Tang Zhen's eyes, even though he was not sure about Xiao Ling's specific cultivation level, based on the intelligence he had collected, he speculated that Xiao Ling should still be at the Dou Zong level.

Xiao Ling had just finished refining the elixir, and his physical strength must have been consumed. If he couldn't withstand the next elixir thunder, then all the efforts he had made for his daughter's life-saving Fire Bodhisattva Pill would be in vain.

Therefore, it is more appropriate and safer to handle this kind of small and tiring work by yourself. In this way, you can also be completely at ease.

But at this moment, Xiao Ling did not respond to Tang Zhen's words. He just closed his eyes quietly, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened them. In his eyes, there was only flawless concentration.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling suddenly took a step forward, and in the astonished gaze of the people around him, his white jade-like palm reached into the burning energy beam in front of him without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao Ling suddenly insert his palm into the beam of light, the members of the Burning Flame Valley around him could not help but exclaim. Puzzled and puzzled eyes focused on him, and everyone was wondering in their hearts, is this Master Xiao Ling going to destroy this pill with his own hands?

Seeing this scene, the experienced alchemists on the platform, such as Master Huan and others, could not help but be stunned for a moment.

Obviously, they were quite surprised by Xiao Ling's move. They were also confused as to what this grandmaster of alchemy was planning.

However, these people did not raise any questions about Xiao Ling's actions, but instead began to whisper to each other.

"Master Xiao Ling is an eighth-grade alchemist master. His methods are beyond the comprehension of those of us who are at most seventh-grade."

"Yes, I guess Master Xiao Ling might be performing some unique secret technique."

"I came at the right time. Being able to witness such a unique alchemy skill with my own eyes is really an eye-opener for me."

"That's right. After watching Master Xiao Ling making medicine, I feel that my own medicine-making skills have improved a lot. I must thank Master Xiao Ling later."

However, unlike those alchemists, when seeing Xiao Ling's actions, Tang Zhen's face turned pale instantly, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable panic.

At the moment Xiao Ling took action, the thunder that was about to pour down from the sky suddenly stopped, as if hesitating whether to continue its mission.

The dark cloud seemed to have lost its determination and began to slowly spread, as if it would disappear at any time.

At this moment, Tang Zhen had no other thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to rush forward. He had only one thought in his mind, to stop Xiao Ling and protect the Fire Bodhi Pill that meant a lot to him.

This is not just an ordinary seventh-grade high-level elixir, but also the last hope of his daughter's life. In his life, this may be the most critical moment in his life.

The little mink, which was lazily lying on Xiao Ling's shoulder, seemed to have noticed Tang Zhen's movements. Its idle appearance disappeared in an instant, and its eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Tang Zhen.

The little mink didn't know the man's purpose, nor did it understand what Xiao Ling was planning. It was too lazy to guess or think deeply.

But one thing is certain, the little mink is ready. If Tang Zhen dares to get close to Xiao Ling, it will attack without hesitation and intercept him halfway.

Just as Tang Zhen was about to take action, a hand as delicate as jade suddenly reached out from behind and gently grabbed his arm.

Tang Zhen paused, turned his head doubtfully, and met Tang Huoer's sparkling eyes. Her gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing straight through his hesitation.

Tang Huoer held Tang Zhen firmly and stopped him. She nodded affirmatively, then shook her head gently, as if she was weighing the options in her heart. Finally, she lowered her eyes and said in a low but persuasive voice, "Father, believe him."

Tang Huoer also noticed the changes in the field. The pill was almost finished being refined, but Xiao Ling's sudden action seemed to cause twists and turns in the matter.

Originally, she should have doubted this sudden change. But for some reason, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart, making her willing to trust that lonely figure.
