The Battle Through Heaven
Stir Activity
A pitch-white flame was partially visible among the green shadows of the lush green mountain peak, like a ghostly flame.
Yao Lao's expression was solemn as he observed the dense white flame rising rapidly within the medicinal cauldron. Because the quality of the ‘Setan Hitam’ cauldron is so outstanding, the initial step of heating this cauldron takes a little longer compared to other ordinary cauldrons. However, Yao Lao's medicinal refinement skills and his level of control over the ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ naturally allowed him to sacrifice this extra time required. Therefore, Yao Lao's hand waved at the few medicinal ingredients on the ground in front of him after the flame withered for nearly a minute. Immediately, the fire red ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’ slowly flew up and was finally thrown into the medicinal cauldron.
By the time ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’ entered the medicinal cauldron, a dense white flame engulfed him like a hungry wolf pouncing on his food. In an instant, the first one began to rapidly wither.
Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the inside of the medicinal cauldron. Even though the flame within the furnace was blazing, he was able to sense that/it the temperature of the flame had been suppressed by Yao Lao to a very precise level. Because of this, this fire may seem ferocious, but it does not burn ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’ until it turns into ash. Instead, under small softened and blood-colored water droplets seep out from within ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’. Finally, they rolled along the surface and were restrained on the fire, repeatedly spinning and spinning.
Following the repeated roasting and blood-colored water droplets seeping out, the glowing red-colored surface of ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’ was also quickly retracted. A moment later, ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’ completely turned into a withered gray color. At this moment, the medicinal power essence contained within had been completely forced by the flames. Hence, his original body had completely turned into a useless scrap.
Yao Lao waved his hand. Wither ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’ rushes out of the medicinal cauldron. Finally, it landed on the grass to the side. It turned into a pile of gray-colored soot as it landed on the ground, and scattered with the wind.
’’ He is indeed an alchemist grandmaster. This refinement technique was far from what I could compare. ” Xiao Yan secretly praised as he looked at the soot-stained ground. He had basically completely burned the medicinal ingredients when he refined the medicinal ingredients in the past. This could not be attributed to the ferocity of the flame. Rather, it could only be said that his/her level of mastery over fire had yet to truly reach the peak. Only by being able to control the instant temperature of the medicinal ingredients completely withered and being able to throw the withered remains out of the medicinal cauldron with such ease as Yao Lao, could it be said to have truly perfect control.
A cluster of blood-red liquid rolled and rotated within the medicinal cauldron. It was like a blood-colored drip. This blood-colored liquid is a medicinal power that comes from the initial refinement of the ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’. The energy contained within it was so great that it left him speechless.
After the agglomeration of this red blood liquid, this liquid did not secretly match the refinement like the medicines that Xiao Yan had purified in the past. Instead, many threads of blood were extended. An extremely powerful energy was contained within the threads of blood. When each thread of blood hit the interior wall of the cauldron, it would emit many clear sounds of metal colliding.
Under the random collision of these threads of blood, even the medicinal cauldron trembled slightly.
Xiao Yan was startled as he looked at the dense blood tentacles that shot around explosively within the medicinal cauldron. He could not help but hit his mouth. It was indeed worthy of being the medicinal ingredient needed to refine a tier 6 medicinal pill. It actually even had the ability to retaliate. From the seeming strength of this blood thread, it was likely that/it was an ordinary medicinal cauldron that Xiao Yan had used would be most able to withstand a few blows before it would be filled with holes.
The violent movements of these blood threads did not cause Yao Lao's expression to change. He waved his hand faintly and the white-colored flame within the medicinal cauldron suddenly surged. The threads of blood seemed shocked at the moment they came into contact with the flame, as they berseruiedly shrank back. In this way, the originally packed threads of blood were completely pressed into the pool of red liquid under the siege of a large-scale flame. The liquid no longer dared to randomly fill under the cravings gaze of the surrounding flames.
”Engah!”
A cluster of solid white flames separated. Finally, it hung beneath the blood-colored liquid. As the flame rose, it emitted an extremely hot temperature. In an instant, the surface of the blood-colored liquid immediately began to boil. Many small bubbles are formed.
As the bubbles formed, a very faint gray-colored wisp of smoke immediately rose. This smoke contains impurities in it. In order to refine a good quality medicinal pill, one had to completely expel these impurities. Otherwise, one might have difficulty forming pills due to the saturation of this impurities.
Removing the impurities of ordinary medicinal ingredients might most require more than ten minutes. However, it is clear that/it ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’ does not fall into that category. Therefore, it only spouts dirt in a lethargic manner even with the presence of a strong ‘Heavenly Fire’ like ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ roasting it. In the end, it basically required the fire to roast it for over ten minutes before slowly letting out a gray-colored wisp of smoke. The stubborn defilement caused Xiao Yan, who was watching from the side, to become somewhat speechless. This was still the result obtained under Yao Lao's control. If he were the one controlling, it was likely that he would spend nearly a day just to refine medicinal ingredients. This tier 6 medicinal pill was indeed very difficult to refine.
Waiting time is very boring. However, Xiao Yan did not allow himself to be distracted. His gaze did not switch from the medicinal cauldron even once for nearly three hours.
After three hours of refinement, the impurities in the blood-colored liquid were finally completely removed. The blood-colored liquid with all of its impurities removed not only became more round, but the color also became slightly more transparent. If one looked at it carefully, one could even see bubbles bubbling within it.
Yao Lao's face also relaxed slightly with the completion of the refinement. He gently flicked his finger, and the lump of blood-colored liquid within the cauldron immediately detached after being wrapped by a thick cluster of white flames. Finally, it was poured into the jade bottle along with the flame.
Xiao Yan was slightly surprised when he saw the unique preservation method that Yao Lao used. His gaze stared at the jade bottle only to realize that/it was actually a faint layer of fire film in the mouth of the bottle. He was immediately shocked. Only after pondering for a moment did he begin to understand.
” Preservation of this type can allow the medicinal liquid in it to maintain the temperature and purity as it comes out of the cauldron. In addition, it will not be doped with dirt in the air. However, it required a high degree of control over one's flame. The jade bottle was very fragile. If the temperature was too high, the jade bottle would be burned until it broke. In the event when one was caught off guard and unable to react in time, it would cause the already purified medicinal liquid to become completely worthless. ” Yao Lao slowly said as he waved his hand once more and threw the ‘Green Wood Celestial Vine’ into the medicinal cauldron.
Xiao Yan nodded slowly. He silently recalled this tip in his heart.
Refinement of ‘Green Wood Celestial Vine’ is no easier than ‘Flame Core Ganoderma’. Due to the materials made earlier, its flame resistance was something that even Yao Lao was surprised by. The time required to expel the medicinal strength of ‘Green Wood Celestial Vine’ is more than one hour. The improvements that occur take a longer time. This four long hours caused Xiao Yan to wipe the cold sweat off his face. Yao Lao was able to endure this long due to his strong spiritual strength. With Xiao Yan's current ability, he could do it at most for more than three hours while refining the medicinal pill before he needed to rest. He could only continue refining after waiting for his Dou Qi to recover!
Night had covered the entire mountain range by the time ‘Green Wood Celestial Vine’ turned into a bunch of green colored liquid that was also preserved in jade bottles. The thick white flames that were at the top of the mountain were slightly striking amidst the darkness of the night.
Yao Lao did not rest even after finishing refining the ‘Green Wood Celestial Vine ‘. He once again started repairing ‘Asparagus Ice Fire Fruit’.
The time it takes to fix ‘Asparagus Ice Fire Fruit’ is similar to the time it takes to perfect ‘Green Wood Celestial Vine’. It was late at night by the time the repairs were completed. The stars scattered in the sky flickered, scattering a weak light,
It had to be said that/it refining six medicinal pills was a very troublesome and exhausting job. Only the refinement of the medicinal ingredients would almost take all day. However, it was fortunate that/that Yao Lao possessed an extremely outstanding ability. He still did not show the slightest sign of tiredness even after refining for a day without stopping. On the other hand, Xiao Yan already had dark circles forming under his eyes.
That rank 6 water proximity Monster Core was also completely refined by Yao Lao into a pile of blue-colored powder on the second day. This segment itself ran out of time for ten hours from Yao Lao. The resistance of the rank 6 Monster Core on the flame was more than dozens of times stronger compared to those medicinal ingredients. Moreover, due to the restraint that/it both elements have on each other, the affinity energy of the rich water almost even came out of the medicinal cauntdron. However, it was fortunate that/that Yao Lao had anticipated this. Therefore, it does not cause much loss. However, such torment naturally took up a lot of time.
Xiao Yan sat to the side. He could not help but feel some palpitations when he saw Yao Lao competing with the rank 6 Monster Core. If it was him, he would probably have trouble subduing this stubborn Monster Core even if he spent three to four days. Moreover, if it was an ordinary fire used, it might even be extinguished by the affinity energy of the rich water.
However, no matter how difficult the process was, the refinement was finally completed. On the third day, the superiority of some medicinal ingredients, and the powder of the Monster Core began to weaken gradually under combustion by ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ which lasted day and night. With this, they finally started to join together.
Although it fused, the speed at which it did so was like a turtle crawling. It was so slow that it was difficult for one to endure. During this period of time, Xiao Yan could not help but fall asleep even with his mental strength.
Merging was the most important step in the refinement of medicinal pills. As long as one made a slight mistake during this period of time, the medicinal herbs they had painstakingly refined would instantly burn. Therefore, even with Yao Lao's abilities, he did not dare to be distracted at this step. He was too busy to interfere even when Xiao Yan was secretly quiet.
Although this move was extremely risky, it was fortunate that there was Yao Lao, who was an alchemist grandmaster, who controlled it. Therefore, the worst-case scenario did not happen. After two full days of smelting, a pale blue-colored embryo medicinal pill slowly formed within the medicinal cauldron.
The instant this embryonic medicinal pill was formed, Xiao Yan clearly felt the energy around him begin to fluctuate suddenly. The condition was like a boulder being thrown onto the surface of a calm lake where huge waves rolled.
Yao Lao's expression did not change in the slightest due to the fluctuating energies in the outside world. His mind focused on the change of the medicinal pill in the medicinal cauldron. This kind of critical point did not allow him to be slightly distracted.
Following the flow of time, the pale-blue medicinal pill that was in irregularly colored shape gradually became round. A bright light emanated from within it, making the pill until it became like a blue-colored gem.
As soon as the medicinal pill started emitting a bright light, Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned to find that/it energy ripples that were shaped like circles began to repeatedly surge out in all directions with the medicinal cauldron at its center. The unrelenting momentum was quite spectacular.
Xiao Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He didn't expect that/it's this tier 6 medicinal pill would actually create such a huge reaction when it was formed. No wonder Yao Lao said that/that they had to come to the deep mountains to fix it. If this were in the Inner Academy, it seemed like the verse would immediately attract everyone from within.
’’ You have to back off a little. A bigger reaction will come later! ” Yao Lao's gaze stared at the inside of the medicinal cauldron in a deliberate manner as his mouth suddenly issued a reminder.
The Purple Cloud Wings on Xiao Yan's back almost jumped together the moment he heard this. With a flap of wings, Xiao Yan's body rushed to an area far from the mountain peak.
The seal on Yao Lao's hand suddenly changed when he saw Xiao Yan had moved to the side. He screamed low from his mouth. In an instant, the thick white flame within the medicinal cauldron suddenly surged. It almost filled the entire medicinal cauldron. At that moment when his eyes were filled with a thick white color, the bright blue-colored light became increasingly sharp.
The blue-colored light shrank and expanded. After this expansion, waves of energy ripples began to spread even faster. Looking down from above, the mountain rocks rolled over and the tree trunk broke apart wherever these energy ripples spread to. Even the grass is open. This powerful destructive force caused Xiao Yan's throat to involuntarily roll over.
The blue-colored light shrank and expanded at an increasing speed. It was as if the light was boiling something. This continued for nearly half an hour before the light suddenly shrank to its smallest point.
The solemn look on Yao Lao's face was even denser than at any time before this. The light has shrunk so fast!
’’ Bang! ’’
The suddenly shrinking light point was maintained for several minutes. Suddenly, it expanded under the disciple Xiao Yan, who was focusing earnestly on it. Finally, a surge in blue-colored light wrapped around the entire mountain peak. An explosion like thunder occurred out of nowhere. Immediately, a twenty-foot thick blue-colored light pillar shot into the sky from the medicinal cauldron.
Xiao Yan was stunned as he looked at the huge blue-colored light pillar that shot into the clouds. He involuntarily inhaled a deep breath of cold air. This reaction ... is a bit too big right? Although this place was far from the Inner Academy, it seemed impossible to escape the feelings of some powerful Elders, right?
” Hopefully, it won't attract people from the Inner Academy. Otherwise, there will be a problem ... ” Xiao Yan gulped his saliva. He observed the light pillar, which did not disappear for a long time, as he muttered with a bitter smile.
