Venerable Feng looked at Elder Yao, a hint of joy flashing across his face.
The old doctor nodded gently and smiled, "Thanks to the Soul Infant Fruit, the missing soul essence in the Soul Palace has been completely replenished."
Then, the old doctor looked at the Iron Sword Venerable and said, "If you only have the sword in your heart, how did you get involved in this trouble?"
"Now that they've joined the Starfall Pavilion, with me and my two disciples there, high-grade pills can be produced with ease. In a while, their cultivation will definitely advance further, and breaking through to Sainthood... isn't impossible, is it?"
As expected, a flicker of interest crossed the Iron Sword Venerable's face upon hearing Yao Lao's words.
Seeing this, Yao Lao raised an eyebrow at Venerable Feng. Venerable Feng grinned. Sure enough, only that old fellow Yao Chen could accurately grasp the iron sword's thoughts.
Chapter 220 Multicolored Calamity Clouds? (Second update, supplementary!)
"You old man, stop hesitating. Stop being so coy, like a little girl."
The old doctor interrupted the Iron Sword Venerable's thoughts and made the decision directly, but the Iron Sword Venerable did not object.
Upon seeing this, Venerable Feng was overjoyed and pointed at Elder Yao, saying, "Good! You've finally fulfilled your role as a Pavilion Master. Two Dou Zun have joined us as soon as you returned, hahaha..."
Starfall Pavilion's current strength is probably the undisputed number one among the four pavilions!
No, the Yellow Springs Pavilion has been destroyed. It should now be called the First of the Three Pavilions.
The four chatted and laughed for a while, then their gaze fell on the square below.
As the old apothecary watched Xiao Fan refine pills, a look of emotion appeared on his face, and he was greatly surprised.
With his strength and insight, he could naturally see that the amount of soul power required for Xiao Fan to control the heat when refining pills was simply incalculable.
However, looking at Xiao Fan's relaxed and carefree appearance, it was clear that he had not reached his limit. Moreover, Yao Lao also knew that Xiao Fan was not the kind of person who would put in a lot of effort for no reward and would not force himself to put on a show in front of the Starfall Pavilion disciples.
After pondering for a while, the old apothecary understood that it was probably Xiao Fan's exceptionally sensitive constitution to flames that allowed him to perfectly control the temperature of the flames in the medicine cauldron with very little soul power.
"This is truly the physique that every alchemist dreams of..."
The old apothecary looked at Xiao Fan with a smile on his face, and then stayed in the stone tower with Venerable Feng and the others, observing Xiao Fan refining pills.
............
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed, and Xiao Fan's extraction of the medicinal herbs was finally nearing completion.
"boom!"
As Xiao Fan finished refining the essence of the last medicinal herb, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the essence of countless medicinal herbs in the cauldron was gathered and slowly fused together, transforming into an oval-shaped gelatinous medicinal fusion the size of a fist.
Under the continuous burning of the strange fire, impurities imperceptible to the naked eye were extracted from the elliptical medicinal herb fusion. The elliptical substance, under Xiao Fan's refining and burning process, continuously became smoother...
After the medicinal materials are blended, the process of forming the pill must be closely monitored. If the energy of the medicinal materials becomes unbalanced, it can easily cause an explosion in the furnace.
However, given Xiao Fan's current strength, such a situation is highly unlikely.
Over three days, the oval-shaped pill within the cauldron was continuously roasted, and the aroma of medicine gradually wafted from the Myriad Beasts Cauldron.
The oval fusion object, originally the size of a fist, is now only the size of a thumb, perfectly round, and a medicinal fragrance emanates from it.
"That's about it..."
Xiao Fan sensed the condition of the pills inside the cauldron, constantly checking their state with his soul power.
He nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, several kinds of strange flames emerged from behind him, and then, under everyone's gaze, they all surged into the medicine cauldron.
"Is this him!?"
Inside the stone tower, Yao Lao watched Xiao Fan's actions. His originally calm smile turned into a hint of emotion. In Yao Lao's mind, Xiao Fan's previous performance was already extremely outstanding.
However, having grown accustomed to Xiao Fan's terrifyingly extraordinary talent, Yao Lao wasn't overly shocked. But watching Xiao Fan's current actions, a hint of surprise rose in Yao Lao's heart. He then looked at Xiao Fan with interest and murmured, "Boy, let my teacher see what other wildly imaginative ideas you have..."
Around the plaza, as the blazing flames appeared, everyone looked at Xiao Fan with even greater shock.
"boom!"
Inside the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, Xiao Fan manipulated four different flames to join it. Together with the original brilliant flames, the five different flames gathered inside the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and floated at the bottom of the cauldron.
The space inside the cauldron seemed to be divided into five parts as the five different flames appeared. The aura of the different flames permeated the space, and the soon-to-be-formed Bone-Growing and Blood-Dissolving Pill was at the very center where the five different flames met.
This process was extremely dangerous. Different flames naturally repel each other, and even Xiao Fan could not stop this natural repulsion. If the pill, which was not yet formed, was impacted by the different flame during the process of him putting the different flame into the cauldron, it would likely be a complete failure.
However, Xiao Fan's control over the strange fire is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
The four different flames entered the cauldron together, perfectly balancing each other without breaking the balance within the Myriad Beasts Cauldron. Subsequently, under his control, each of the five different flames occupied a position within the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, working together to carry out the final condensation process of the Bone-Growing and Blood-Dissolving Pill.
"Shh!"
With the five different flames returning to their places, Xiao Fan moved extremely quickly. With a wave of his hand, a speck of sand dust shimmering with crystalline light appeared in his storage ring. This was Stardust, which was extremely rare even for eighth-grade alchemists, and it had only one function.
The shattered stardust contains extremely rich spiritual energy, which can greatly enhance the spirituality of pills if added to them.
For pills below the seventh grade, there is no concept of "spirit," but for pills of the eighth grade and above...
The refining process requires the alchemist to imbue it with spirit, which is also a requirement for eighth-grade alchemists to enter the spiritual realm. The spirituality contained in the shattered star dust can greatly improve the quality of eighth-grade pills.
Xiao Fan did this in order to improve the quality of the Bone-Growing and Blood-Dissolving Pill.
"I see!"
Inside the stone tower, Yao Lao watched Xiao Fan's actions and couldn't help but nod and speak.
"The Bone-Growing and Blood-Dissolving Pill was originally only at the threshold of an eighth-grade pill. The Spirit-Ascending Method I used back then was similar to this, which enhanced the spiritual power within the pill and pushed its quality to a higher level."
As the old apothecary watched Xiao Fan's actions, his voice reached Xiao Yan's ears, saying, "However, each material containing spiritual power is extremely difficult to find, and it is not easy to successfully imbue the spiritual power of the medicinal herbs into the pill. You will need to observe carefully from now on!"
"teacher!"
Upon hearing Yao Lao's voice, Xiao Yan immediately understood that Yao Lao had recovered. However, after hearing Yao Lao's explanation, Xiao Yan also understood and carefully observed Xiao Fan's movements, not daring to relax in the slightest.
After all, the teacher gave me such a serious reminder, so I figured I could make a significant improvement in the future.
"boom!"
As soon as Shattered Stardust entered the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, it immediately emitted a crackling energy surge. However, all of this was within Xiao Fan's expectations. His soul power poured into the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, completely enveloping Shattered Stardust within it.
The shattered star dust was refined by the strange fire, and the scattered energy constantly impacted the surroundings, but in the end it was all enveloped by Xiao Fan's soul power, and the pill that was about to take shape in the middle was not affected in the slightest.
"Refine it for me!"
Sensing the ripples of the scattered stardust, Xiao Fan's eyes hardened, and a terrifying soul force pressed down.
Inside the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, the original Stardust was instantly reduced to dust and annihilated within the cauldron under the dual pressure of the strange fire and Xiao Fan's soul power.
However, after the shattered stardust disappeared, it left behind specks of white energy in the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, which are now also constantly dissipating.
And this is precisely Xiao Fan's goal: the spirit within the shattered stardust!
Once it loses its vessel, stardust, its spirituality will rapidly dissipate and vanish.
However, Xiao Fan had anticipated this. His soul power swept out, enveloping the spirit within it, and then squeezed it towards the Bone-Growing and Blood-Dissolving Pill in the center.
Inspired by the aura of the Bone-Growing and Blood-Dissolving Pill, it found a new outlet and invaded the pill.
This was precisely the most perilous moment in Xiao Fan's attempt to improve the quality of the Bone-Growing Blood-Dissolving Pill.
Once the spirit enters the pill, Xiao Fan needs to perfectly balance the spirit within the original pill and completely fuse the two together.
The Spirit Ascension Method that Xiao Yan used back then was based on the same principle, except that he used a different kind of fire to burn the pills, which promoted the increase of spiritual energy within them and improved the quality of the pills.
"boom!"
Xiao Fan enveloped the entire pill with his soul power, feeling the infusion of its spirit. The repulsive feeling he sensed from his soul power grew stronger and stronger, and the soul power he poured into the Myriad Beasts Cauldron also became increasingly powerful.
As Xiao Fan fully mobilized the soul power within his body, a soul vortex gradually formed on the surface of his body, and the pressure from the soul power of the Spirit Realm instantly swept outwards.
"Shh!"
The Starfall Pavilion disciples surrounding the plaza, suppressed by their soul power, could only watch helplessly as the soul vortex swept towards them, unable to move an inch, their faces filled with panic.
At the critical moment, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao appeared in front of everyone, their soul power forming a huge barrier to block the erosion of the soul storm.
Venerable Feng and the others also appeared in mid-air. With a wave of his hand, a vast amount of battle qi surged forth, sealing off the aura within, which finally brought the many disciples of the Starfall Pavilion back to their senses.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"
Everyone looked at the old doctor with reverence, and then their gazes fell on Xiao Fan in the arena. Their faces showed no fear, but rather fervent enthusiasm!
"Boom!"
At that moment, dark, ominous clouds of tribulation instantly enveloped the entire plaza above the Starfall Pavilion.
Silver lightning flashed continuously within the tribulation clouds, emitting dense bolts of electricity, accompanied by booming thunder, leaving the disciples utterly terrified.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the tribulation clouds in the sky slowly began to display vibrant colors!
"It's showing color! It's the tribulation lightning for an eighth-grade elixir!"
As everyone looked up, under their gaze, the tribulation clouds slowly appeared in the sky, their brilliant colors reflected in their pupils.
"red!"
"silver!"
"yellow!"
"Three colors! Three colors have appeared!"
"And there's more color!"
Amid cheers from the crowd, following the red, silver, and yellow colors, a cyan color emerged from the tribulation clouds and instantly spread, rivaling the previous three colors.
"besides!"
