A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

"Xiao Fan! Wake up!"

Bai Jie's heart clenched, and she hurriedly reached out to check his breath, her fingertips trembling slightly.

The spiritual energy is disordered, and the breath is weak...

A look of panic flashed in her eyes. She hurriedly took out healing medicine from her storage bag and was about to stuff it into Luo Fan's mouth.

"Luo Fan, don't scare me!"

Before she could finish speaking, a warm hand grasped her wrist.

Luo Fan opened his eyes, still looking somewhat weak, but a sly smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"It's good that Senior Sister is alright."

He smiled brightly, gripped Bai Jie's hand tightly, and said, "Keep the medicine; don't waste it on me."

Looking into his cunning eyes, Bai Jie knew perfectly well that she had been deceived.

She rolled her eyes, grabbed Luo Fan's ear, and said, "You little rascal, you really need to be taught a lesson!"

"Ouch, senior sister, have mercy! I was wrong..."

Luo Fan wailed and begged for mercy.

"Serves you right!"

Bai Jie said this, but her hands became gentle as she carefully helped him sit up.

"Where are you hurt? Let me see."

Luo Fan turned around, his robes were torn in several places by the rubble, revealing bruises.

Fortunately, the cold fire of the Nether Spring and the protective spiritual energy buffered the injury, preventing damage to the bones and muscles, resulting only in superficial wounds.

Bai Jie pursed her lips, took out some medicine, and gently applied it to his wound.

The cool ointment touched his skin, and Luo Fan hissed and grinned.

"My senior sister applied the medicine to me herself, so this injury was worth it."

"Glib-tongued."

Bai Jie's hands continued moving, and the panic from before was gone from her eyes, leaving only helplessness and a touch of heartache.

"Don't do that again next time, do you hear me?"

"That won't work."

Luo Fan turned around and looked at her seriously. "How could I hide when I saw my senior sister in danger?"

"you…"

Luo Fan took her hand and pressed it against his chest, smiling gently, "It will hurt here."

Bai Jie's fingertips trembled, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she pulled her hand back, scolding, "You're always saying nice things..."

But her tone had softened.

She checked Luo Fan's back injury and, after confirming it was just a superficial wound, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, you have thick skin."

"That's right, I've been used to being beaten since I was a child."

Luo Fan stood up with a grin and stretched his limbs.

He looked at the center of the stone platform, where the Five Elements Wheel still hovered, radiating a soft light.

Bai Jie stood beside him and asked, "What...do you like about me?"

If it's out of a sense of responsibility, perhaps she will be disappointed.

Seeing Luo Fan frowning in thought, Bai Jie's heart tightened even more.

After a moment, Luo Fan said, "My senior sister's kindness cannot be explained in just a few words, but there is one thing I am very sure of."

He smiled and said, "That is, having a broad mind and being tolerant is true greatness!"

His words were accompanied by the crisp snap of his fingers.

Bai Jie lowered her head shyly, her ears slightly red, "I'm not as good as you say."

"No!"

Luo Fan said earnestly, "It will only get better."

Bai Jie felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and looked up, only to see that Luo Fan's gaze was fixed on something rather strange.

She followed his gaze and looked down, noticing the front of her shirt, and instantly understood.

"..."

You little rascal, how indecent!

Is she good?

Or is it better to have a smooth, tender, and bouncy texture?

Bai Jie was both ashamed and annoyed, but before she could retaliate, she heard Luo Fan let out a soft "hmm" and walk forward.

Looking in the direction Luo Fan was looking, a jade slip appeared in the pillar of light of the wheel.

Luo Fan reached out and took it, probing it with his divine sense.

The True Explanation of the Five Elements Alchemy!

As a flood of information entered his mind, he felt a surge of energy.

"What an exquisite alchemy method!"

This tradition not only records the complete theory of Five Elements alchemy, but also contains a large number of alchemical formulas, many of which are ancient formulas that have been lost for a long time.

More importantly, it mentions several methods for refining pills that can counteract the backlash from special constitutions.

This information can be used to study how to help Bai Jie suppress the hidden dangers of the Samsara path.

"Senior sister, this inheritance is of great use to us."

Luo Fan handed the jade slip to Bai Jie, "Take a look too."

Bai Jie took it, scanned it with her divine sense, and a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Is this an ancient alchemical tradition?"

"Um!"

Luo Fan nodded. "With it, refining top-grade Yellow-rank pills will be a piece of cake for me, and I might even be able to try making Profound-rank pills."

"More importantly..."

He looked at Bai Jie with gentle eyes, "The Ice Heart Soul-Suppressing Pill recorded here might help you stabilize the backlash from your Reincarnation Body."

Bai Jie was taken aback, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

It turns out that this was the first thing he thought of.

She nodded gently and handed the jade slip back to her, saying, "Keep it safe and study it slowly in the future."

Let's study it together.

Luo Fan put away the jade slip and looked at the Five Elements Wheel.

At this moment, the roulette wheel shone brighter, and the five elements appeared in five directions.

A line of ancient seal script characters slowly emerged.

"The Five Elements Alchemy requires verification of its principles. Please refine the Five Elements Elixir to prove your abilities."

"Are you kidding me? We need to be tested just to enter a secret realm?"

Luo Fan was so angry that he bared his teeth and his face contorted in rage.

Bai Jie couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes shining brightly.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Luo Fan sighed and had no choice but to take out the medicinal herbs from his storage bag and arrange them into different categories.

Bai Jie stood beside him, sword in hand, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings, her expression solemn, protecting him.

Luo Fan closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, adjusting himself to his optimal state. When he opened them, his eyes were clear and focused.

The first batch was the Golden Essence Pill.

The cold fire of the secluded spring ignited beneath the alchemy furnace, its flame steady and pure.

He tossed the medicinal herbs into the furnace one by one, his movements fluid and skillful, even more so than before.

The profound mysteries of the Five Elements Alchemy took root quietly in his heart.

Bai Jie looked at his profile.

In the firelight, his handsome face was full of focus, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

She suddenly felt that this side of Luo Fan was more... captivating than his usual frivolous self.

heart.

Inside the alchemy furnace, the metal elemental energy, under the influence of the cold fire of the secluded spring, perfectly fused with the main ingredient, the golden thread grass.

Luo Fan's fingers flew across the paper, and each time he added medicine, he controlled the fire at the perfect moment.

Bai Jie could feel the surrounding spiritual energy slowly gathering towards the alchemy furnace, forming a subtle rhythm.

"This scoundrel is actually quite handsome when he gets serious."

Her gaze fell on the beads of sweat on his forehead, her fingertips twitched slightly as if she wanted to wipe them away for him, but then she withdrew them.

The elixir is about to be completed; it must not be disturbed.

Half an hour later.

The alchemy furnace was gently shaken, and the lid opened slightly.

Three golden pills flew out and landed in the jade bottle that Luo Fan had prepared beforehand.

Dancheng, Huangjie high-grade Jinyuan Dan!

Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the jade bottle and examined it, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"The Golden Essence Pill is complete; it's time for the Wooden Essence Pill."

He paused briefly to catch his breath, then restarted the furnace.

This time, the main ingredient he took out was Green Wood Vine, a wood-attribute spiritual material, full of vitality.

The key to refining the Wood Essence Pill lies in preserving its vitality, which requires even higher control over the heat.

Luo Fan held his breath and focused his mind, turning the cold fire of the secluded spring into a gentle fire to begin the calcination.

Time passed little by little.

The green vines unfurled in the flames, exuding a fresh and natural wood-elemental energy.

Another half hour passed.

The alchemy furnace shook again, the lid opened, and three vibrant green Wood Essence Pills flew out and landed in another jade bottle.

Dancheng, Huangjie high-grade Muyuan Dan!

"Very good, two of the five elements are now complete."

Luo Fan then extracted the essence of the water from the secluded pool.

The most difficult part of making the Water Essence Pill is to prevent it from dispersing. It requires low temperature and slow fire to compress the water-elemental spiritual energy into a pill.

This time, it took Luo Fan an hour.

The furnace lid was opened, and three azure water essence pills floated quietly, their bodies displaying ripple-like patterns.

The pill is complete! A top-grade Yellow Rank Water Essence Pill!

"Water element actually produced a top-grade item?"

Luo Fan himself was somewhat surprised; it seemed that the profound mystery of the Five Elements Alchemy True Explanation far exceeded his imagination.

Next up is the Fire Essence Pill.

The main ingredient is the Crimson Flame Fruit, which is extremely fiery and requires very high fire control.

Luo Fan dared not be careless, and the cold spring fire turned into a blazing heat, while maintaining a delicate balance.

An hour later, three fiery red Fire Essence Pills with faint flame patterns flew out.

Dancheng, the top grade of Huangjie.

The last batch: Earth Essence Elixir.

The main ingredient is earth vein stone milk, which is rich in earth element and needs to be simmered over a low flame to extract all the essence of the earth.

This is the most time-consuming batch of the Five Elements Elixir.

Luo Fan was completely focused, sweat rolling down his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it away.

Bai Jie felt sorry for him and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his sweat.

Luo Fan turned and smiled at her, then continued to focus on controlling the fire.

Another hour and a half passed.

Five furnaces of pills yielded fifteen pills, all of superior quality, with the Water Essence Pill being the finest.

"call…"

Luo Fan let out a long sigh of relief; his whole body was soaked in sweat.

Continuously refining the Five Elements Pills consumes a great deal of mental and spiritual energy.

If it weren't for his solid foundation and the assistance of a strange fire like the Nether Spring Cold Fire, it would have been extremely difficult for him to complete this task.

"Xiao Fan, you've worked hard."

Her fair lips curved into a smile as she wiped his sweat without any hesitation.

After a moment of meditation, Luo Fan regained his rosy complexion, picked up five jade bottles, and placed them in front of the Five Elements Wheel.

The roulette wheel shone brightly, and five illusory figures simultaneously cast beams of light, sweeping across the jade bottle.
