Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 30: Pill Completed, Advancement to Five-Star Dou Zhe

"The second step, and the simplest one, is simply to melt and incorporate the purple ginseng—"

As the old apothecary nodded, he spoke in a deep voice, guiding Xiao Yi to the next step.

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.

With the addition of the purple ginseng, Xiao Yi also increased the intensity of the flames.

The purple ginseng was refined in an instant and merged with the medicinal energy of the meridian-clearing vine.

Having already completed two steps, Xiao Yi did not feel any difficulty; in fact, he felt quite relaxed.

Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, the old apothecary simply smiled and said, "Boy, let's move on to the next step!"

"Fuse the century-old condensed flower and the second-tier beast core. Remember, this step is extremely crucial; you must control the timing perfectly!"

"This condensed flower can't withstand intense heat; it needs to be refined with extreme care. What's needed here is powerful fire control!"

The old apothecary said softly, his eyes fixed on the medicinal herbs in the cauldron and the size of Xiao Yi's flames.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi also focused on controlling the size of the flames.

Controlling the fire may seem easy, but it's not so simple to do in practice.

Xiao Yi, who had just felt relaxed, was now feeling the pressure.

Just a moment later, Xiao Yi's forehead was covered in sweat.

"The fire's too high! The Condensing Flower can't withstand this kind of scorching heat!"

The old apothecary kept a close eye on the medicinal herbs and provided guidance to Xiao Yi.

Seeing Xiao Yi reduce the flame, Yao Lao said in a deep voice, "Too small, too small. How can such a flame extract the medicinal power from the beast core?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned, his fighting spirit surging as he continuously controlled the size of the flames.

But no matter what, they could never find the right size flame.

Seeing this, the old apothecary simply smiled slightly, clearly indicating that all of this was within his expectations.

"The reason why the Meridian Opening Spirit Pill is a fourth-grade pill is not only because of its obvious effects, but also because of this major difficulty in its refining—"

"To extract the medicinal power from the condensed flower and the beast core at the same time and integrate it into the medicinal energy of the Meridian Opening Vine, we need to find the most suitable flame size—"

Upon hearing this, and seeing Xiao Yi's pained expression, Xiao Yan couldn't help but whisper, "Is this step really that difficult? Brother Yi looks like he's in a lot of pain, but it seems so easy for you, Teacher—"

The old apothecary simply smiled slightly: "After all, this is Xiao Yi's first time practicing medicine, so it's normal for him to have some difficulty controlling the flames—"

Xiao Xuan remained silent, his brows furrowed as he looked at Xiao Yi, seemingly lost in thought.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was doing his best to control the flames formed from his battle qi.

We strive to find the most suitable flame temperature.

Time passed without Xiao Yi noticing, and his entire body was soaked in sweat.

Finally, Xiao Yi seemed to have found the most suitable temperature in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness to refine and condense the flower and beast cores.

The next second, the red flames around Xiao Yi, which were originally formed from battle qi, all turned crimson.

-

The flames at this moment were no longer formed from battle qi, but were the inner fire condensed from Xiao Yi's cultivation technique!

As soon as the inner fire was released, the condensed flower and beast core in the medicine cauldron began to melt away, turning into golden mist that intertwined with the previous medicinal energy.

Upon seeing this, a look of shock instantly appeared on Yao Lao's face.

"How is this possible!"

"This child's talent is even more terrifying than I imagined; a born alchemy prodigy!"

The old doctor muttered a few words to himself, then glanced at Xiao Xuan beside him.

He secretly pondered to himself, "It seems that the once-declining Xiao clan is very likely to rise again!"

Xiao Xuan didn't show much emotion when he saw Xiao Yi's performance, after all, he was somewhat aware of Xiao Yi's talent.

"Xiao Yi, hold on! We've reached the final step: Core Formation!"

The old doctor couldn't help but speak up, reminding Xiao Yi to concentrate.

Although condensing the elixir is the final step in alchemy, it is also the most important one.

If the pill condensation goes wrong, all the previous efforts will be in vain!

Xiao Yi was already exhausted, but with victory within his grasp, he naturally couldn't give up.

Xiao Yi once again exerted all his strength, unleashing his inner fire and the remaining fighting spirit within his body.

The two flames merged together, transforming into a giant fiery hand that reached out to grab the medicinal vapors within the cauldron.

Although this method may seem a bit crude, it is indeed a method for condensing elixir.

"Get it done!"

Xiao Yi shouted, and the fiery hand in the alchemy furnace suddenly grabbed.

The next second, the flames subsided, and a pill slowly appeared inside the furnace!

"It's done!"

Upon seeing the pills inside the alchemy furnace, Xiao Yi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

After all, this is a fourth-grade pill. He successfully made a fourth-grade pill on his first attempt at alchemy!

Anyone would be unable to contain their excitement!

Xiao Yi took out the pills he had refined and placed them in his hand along with the one refined by the old doctor.

Although both are Meridian Opening Spirit Pills, their quality and appearance are vastly different.

The one refined by the old apothecary was smooth and bluish-green, with a faint fragrance of pills, while the one refined by Xiao Yi could only be seen as resembling a pill.

"Although it's a bit ugly, it can still be considered a fourth-grade pill!"

"I never expected that even after my own demise, I would still be able to witness someone with such talent in alchemy!"

The old apothecary couldn't hide his excitement; after all, he was someone who valued talent.

Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, "As expected of a descendant of my Xiao clan, even without the bloodline of a Dou Di, your talent remains astonishing!"

Xiao Yi simply smiled, picked up the Meridian Opening Spirit Pill that Yao Lao had refined, and said, "Can I take this pill now?"

Xiao Xuan nodded.

The old doctor nodded, and seeing Xiao Yan's envious expression, he said in a deep voice, "Little Yan, don't be impatient. When you reach the Dou Zhe level, I will refine another one for you."

into the night.

The back mountain of Wutan City.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan also separated to pursue their own cultivation.

Xiao Yi looked at the Meridian Opening Spirit Pill in his hand, which was emitting a fragrant aroma, then glanced at Xiao Xuan and said, "Ancestor, I really ate it!"

Xiao Xuan nodded: "Eat it without worry, it's only a fourth-grade pill, it won't kill you!"

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Yi swallowed the pill without hesitation.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, Xiao Yi could clearly feel an extremely warm power nourishing every meridian in his body.

The fighting spirit within his body also became exceptionally active under the pull of that power, even its circulation speed increased dramatically—

less.

"So this is a fourth-grade pill? Its effects are truly extraordinary!"

The next second, Xiao Yi felt a familiar sensation sweep over his entire body.

"Is it about to break through—?"

Xiao Yi quickly sat down cross-legged and circulated his internal fighting spirit.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi and nodded in satisfaction.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yi finally slowly opened his eyes, instantly feeling that his internal fighting spirit had become much fuller.

"Five-Star Warrior!"

Xiao Xuan was not surprised to see Xiao Yi rise two stars in a row.

After all, Xiao Yi had been cultivating with him for so long. If it weren't for his physical meridians, he would probably have already reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Zhe.

Immediately, Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice, "Boy, is there an opportunity you'd like to seize?"

Xiao Yi: "Opportunity? Of course!"

Xiao Xuan paused for a moment, then spoke freely: "A soul cultivation technique, do you really want it?"
