The Battle Through Heaven
Pill Breaking Zong
Xiao Yan's gaze slowly swept across the ten snow-white jade boxes in front of him. He gently sucked in a breath of air and suppressed the ripples in his heart. With a flick of his finger, a gigantic ‘Thousand Beast Cauldron’ appeared out of nowhere. It heavily landed on the ground, emitting a low and deep ‘gong’ sound.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. The refining method and the various things to watch out for when refining the ‘Zong Breaking Pill’ once again crossed his mind. A moment later, he opened his eyes and a jade-green flame rose within his dark black pupils.
”Engah!”
Jade-green flames leaped from Xiao Yan's finger with a voice. He then flicked his finger and the flame turned into a ray of light that entered the medicinal crater in a lightning-like manner.
The fire had just entered the cauldron when its small size suddenly expanded. In a short moment, the small flame turned into a ferocious flame that was burning wildly within the medicinal cauldron. Following the increase in the size of the green-tooth flame, the bright-red surface on the ‘Thousand Beast Cauldron’ became sharper red eyes. In an instant, the cauldron appeared like a bunch of dancing flames.
’’ This medicinal cauldron left behind by Han Feng was indeed not an ordinary thing. Despite being roasted by my ‘He Heavenly Fire’ many times, it can still remain good. The quality may even be comparable to teacher's ‘Satan Hitam’. ” A satisfied glint flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes while he muttered to himself. There was not a single crack line in the ‘Thousand Beast Cauldron’ despite having used it many times.
Xiao Yan waved his hand after the internal temperature of the medicinal cauldron reached a certain stable temperature. The snow-white jade box that was emitting a hint of coldness was sucked into his hand. In the jade box lay a withered tree branch that looked like it was carved from ice. Although this thing does not have an attractive appearance, the rich medicinal aroma it emits allows one to know that/it is not an ordinary thing.
This item is known as ‘Cold Marrow Twig’. It was not an actual tree branch but rather something agglomerated from pure freezing energy in a very cold place. If one practiced ice type Dou Qi to refine and absorb it, it would cause that person's Dou Qi to become even colder. Hence, this matter could be considered priceless in their eyes. Xiao Yan was only able to obtain it because he was lucky to enter the cold pond deep in the mountains. However, he was ruthlessly chased by the Magical Beast hidden there, a beast that was about to break through to the seventh rank, for over fifty kilometers before he managed to escape.
Xiao Yan's finger held the ‘Cold Marrow Twig’ with two fingers and a bone-chilling coldness quickly followed his finger and seeped into him. It almost caused his entire arm to become numb.
Xiao Yan's eyes glanced at his hand that was covered in thin ice. A thought flashed through his mind and the green-tooth flame within his body swiftly flowed, quickly expelling the coldness that had seeped into him.
Xiao Yan's hand gently tossed the Cold Marrow Branch accurately into the medicinal cauldron. Jade green flames suddenly surged and swallowed the first one like a savage mouth.
The Cold Marrow Branch did not just wait for death in the face of this fire. It emits an unrelenting wave of cold air in an attempt to block high-temperature erosion.
The cold air and the green jade fire were eroding each other. A faint white mist emerged from the contact point in the middle of the ‘chi chi’ sound. This Cold Marrow relied on its cold energy that had accumulated over countless years. It was actually capable of engaging in a stalemate with the Flazed Lotus Heart Flame for a short period of time.
” Truly deserves to be something that will cause a Magical Beast of that rank to come out to protect... ’’ Xiao Yan secretly pressed his tongue and praised when he saw this scene in the medicinal cauldron. His mind immediately moved and the temperature within the medicinal cauldron rose!
Cold Marrow finally can not survive after being burned by a high flame temperature. The appearance of the ice-crystal-like surface began to show signs of melting.
Xiao Yan gently sighed in relief when he saw this scene. That's thanks to his ‘Heavenly Flame’. If it was an ordinary flame, it might just be repairing this Cold Marrow twig would take one to two days. If that was the case, not only would it waste time but it would also deplete his Dou Qi.
A ‘Heavenly Flame’ is not inferior to us who are genuineapon from the point of view of alchemists.
The constriction continued for an hour or so before the stubborn Cold Sumrow Twig finally turned into a thick, snow-white liquid. The liquid was circulating and emitting an extremely rich pure energy.
Xiao Yan spent another half hour after the completion of the refinement to complete the hardening move. He did not rest after finishing this. With a movement of his hand, he threw another similarly stubborn medicinal ingredient into the medicinal cauldron …
Time slowly flowed through the tightly sealed secret room. The medicinal ingredients in the jade box in front of Xiao Yan gradually diminished. The rich medicinal fragrance mixed from medicinal ingredients lingered in the secret room like a cloud.
Xiao Yan's expression became more and more serious as the medicinal ingredients were gradually refined. He knows that/it's the steps that are still left are the ones that are really troublesome. This Breaking Zong Pill could be said to be the highest tier medicinal pill that Xiao Yan had personally refined. Therefore, the chances of success are quite low.
Just think about this Black Emperor Sect. One could understand such a mindset just by looking at the amount of natural treasures they had spent so many years nurturing Mo Ya, this Junior Sect Leader.
Of course, the ingredients required to refine this Breaking Zong Pill were rare. If Xiao Yan did not rely on Zi Yan's treasure-seeking ability, during their half year journey, to earn quite a lot of money, it was likely that he would not be able to gather these materials.
Despite this, Xiao Yan had only collected three sets of materials during this half a year. In other words, Xiao Yan only had three chances to refine this Pill Zong. If he failed every attempt, no one knew when the next time he would be able to fix it again.
With Xiao Yan's current medicinal refining skills, there wouldn't be much of a problem in refining some ordinary tier 6 medicinal pills. However, this Pill Zong was no ordinary item. Even he would likely have less than forty percent change in refining it. In addition, this is the result after taking into account the help of ‘Heavenly Flame’ - it. If an ordinary tier 6 alchemist made an attempt to refine it, their chances of success would be lower.
Xiao Yan also knew the level of difficulty in refining this Breaking Zong Pill. Therefore, he did not dare to ignore it even a little. His eyes stared intently at the activity within the medicinal cauldron. His mind moved at a certain moment, and he suddenly started compressing all of the pure medicinal ingredients, which he had perfected in the medicinal cauldron, together.
”Engah!”
An intense energy ripple erupted as that many medicinal ingredients made contact. Immediately, those pure medicinal liquids that had been refined with much difficulty were shaken until over half of them were scattered.
Xiao Yan knit his brows as he felt an unexpected change in the medicinal cauldron. He sighed softly, ” As expected .. always like this. The first time was very difficult. ’
Xiao Yan remained seated on the stone bed while pondering for a moment. His mind repeatedly replayed the unusual phenomenon that had been created when medicinal ingredients had been combined together. It was a long while later before he once again refocused his mind. He cleared the medicinal cauldron and started it once again …
Overhauling medicinal pills was a harsh and troublesome thing. After Xiao Yan's first failure, he spent nearly five to six hours to completely refine a second set of medicinal ingredients. This time, no problems arose during the merger due to Xiao Yan's heart control. However, when the medicinal pill would take the form of an embryo, a small deviation appeared. Therefore, a cauldron of precious medicinal ingredients was once again discarded. Blood dripped from Xiao Yan's heart as he stared at the worthless medicinal ingredients. These medicinal ingredients were not things that could only be purchased if one wanted to.
” Damn, I have underestimated the difficulty of this. ’
Xiao Yan forcefully held the blood dripping from hihati, and gradually calmed his mind a moment later. His hands trembled as he once again took the final set of medicinal ingredients. This is his last chance. If he failed, he could forget about refining Pill Zong in the near future.
Xiao Yan's eyes locked onto the medicinal ingredients. This continued for a while before he clenched his teeth. His hand moved and flames once again rose within the medicinal cauldron.
The small flame withered and the jade green light landed on Xiao Yan's extraordinary face, causing him to appear extremely cold and stern. One by one, the precious medicinal ingredients entered into the medicinal cauldron from the hands of Xiao Yan who rose and descended. They were immediately engulfed in flames.
Time quietly flowed like sand while the flames whirled. Dense beads of sweat began to faintly appear on Xiao Yan's forehead. One unceasing day without stopping was hard for him.
This time, Xiao Yan nearly poured all of his Spiritual Strength into the medicinal cauldron. Any unusual activity will soon be discovered by him. Under this high level of supervision, many medicinal liquids in the medicinal cauldron gradually began to merge …
The merger took place while Xiao Yan was feeling extremely nervous. Fortunately, nothing was wrong this time. When the fusion medicinal liquid was completed, a beautiful liquid that was half a huge fist started to appear in the medicinal cauldron.
Xiao Yan did not sigh in relief in his heart as he studied the liquid body mixture of the many medicinal powers. His mind was still tense as his Spiritual Strength controlled the flames to a perfect level. He slowly reduced the temperature, and allowed the many medicinal liquids in the liquid body to completely harden.
About half an hour after the liquid shrinks and hardens, the surface of the liquid body begins to gradually harden. An embryo medicinal pill with an uneven surface was slowly formed …
Xiao Yan finally threw a huge stone weighing down on his heart when he saw that/it was an embryo medicine pill successfully formed. The most difficult steps are completed. All he needed to do now was to maintain the flame in order for this embryo medicinal pill to be warm and nourishing. After that, the Zong Breaking Pill was considered to have been successfully created!
