Mad Doctor No. 9

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Muchen was furious. Coupled with the excessive energy consumed from refining pills, he spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward. Su Zhenhai quickly supported him and looked at Wang Tian with a look of horror.

Wang Tian didn't say anything more, and turned to Ye Hongdao, saying, "Patriarch Ye, I've already seen this Xuanbing Flame, and its quality is quite good. I'll begin refining the pills at this time tomorrow. All other personnel, please leave."

"Yes, sir! I will obey your command!" Ye Hongdao seemed to snap out of his daze, quickly bowing in agreement. Then, his expression turned serious, and he said to Su Zhenhai, "Third Master Su, please! The Ye family is not in a position to entertain guests today!"

With a gloomy face, Su Zhenhai helped Zhou Muchen, who was distraught and on the verge of a breakdown, and slunk out of the Ye family.

It won't be long before the entire upper class of Jinling knows what happened today. "Little Pill King" Zhou Muchen has become a joke, and the Ye family has gained a mysterious and unpredictable alchemy master. This matter will spread quickly.

Ye Qingxue glanced at Wang Tian's calm face, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement, her heart filled with turmoil.

If before she was only grateful and admired his strength, now that she has witnessed his miraculous alchemy skills, her goodwill towards him has deepened even further.

The next day, the Ye family's Earth Fire Pill Room was designated as a forbidden area. Apart from Wang Tian and Elder Ye Ming, no one else was allowed to approach it unless they had permission.

Ye Hongdao, along with Ye Wenyuan, Ye Qingxue, and other core members, stood outside, ready for battle.

Wang Tianjing stood in front of the alchemy furnace, quietly watching this scene.

Instead of using the auxiliary materials from the Ye family, he took out the "Ice Soul Crystal" he had obtained from Ye Qingxue, along with several special ores and spiritual herbs he had brought back from Kunlun, and a small bottle of diluted "Well of Life".

He wasn't trying to refine any ancient elixir recorded in the "Hundred Herbs Immortal Scripture." Instead, he combined his own stellar power, the power of the Ice Soul Mystic Crystal, and his own life essence to create a kind of pill to aid cultivation and strengthen the foundation, called the "Star Soul Ice Vein Pill."

This pill not only contains vast stellar power, but also rich life essence, which greatly helps his stellar origin and even his stellar body tempering technique.

"Elder Ye, when I control the fire later, you just need to keep the Xuanbing Flame at the temperature I set," Wang Tian said.

"Yes!" Elder Ye Ming was both excited and nervous. To be able to see such a master alchemist in person was such a stroke of luck.

Wang Tian nodded solemnly.

Instead of igniting the earth fire, he placed his hand on the alchemy furnace, and the star power within his body slowly surged.

"Rise," he uttered.

He channeled his star power into the alchemy furnace, activating the array within it.

At the same time, he made a grabbing motion in the air with his left hand, and the ball of icy blue flame seemed to be summoned by something, dancing joyfully and turning into a small flame that disappeared into the alchemy furnace.

However, the extreme cold of the Xuanbing Flame is not used for heating. Instead, under Wang Tian's exquisite control of the power of the stars, it forms a strange yin-yang balance with the power of the stars generated in the alchemy furnace, creating a special "temperature zone" that is most suitable for processing Ice Soul Xuanjing and star matter.

Elder Ye Ming was mesmerized; this fire control technique completely overturned his understanding of flames.

Wang Tian threw the Ice Soul Crystal into the alchemy furnace. A strange power slowly melted it under the alternating effects of heat and cold, from which a trace of Ice Soul Essence was extracted. It was crystal clear and exuded a cold aura.

Next, star ores and spiritual herbs were thrown into it. Enveloped by star power and tempered by the cold energy of the Xuanbing Flame, impurities were removed and the essence was extracted.

The whole process was smooth and effortless. Wang Tian's movements seemed simple, but they contained an ultimate control over energy and a profound understanding of the drug's effects.

Every now and then, his fingertips would sparkle with starlight as he inscribed the alchemy formulas into the furnace.

Sometimes, he would even control the temperature of the Xuanbing Flame to temper it again and again.

Inside the alchemy room, starlight twinkled, ice and flames intertwined, and the fragrance of medicine and the power of stars blended together to form a strange aroma.

Elder Ye Ming focused intently on controlling the output of the Xuanbing Flame, his body drenched in sweat, yet he was extremely excited.

Three hours later.

"Condense!" Wang Tian suddenly shouted softly.

Under the combined effects of star power and ice and fire, the essence within the alchemy furnace rapidly collapsed inward.

The alchemy furnace trembled slightly, emitting a clear and melodious sound.

"The pill is complete, open!" Wang Tian changed his hand seals and shouted.

The lid of the alchemy furnace opened automatically, and a beam of ice-blue light mixed with starlight shot straight into the sky. Although it was blocked by the roof of the alchemy room, its astonishing aura and extraordinary phenomenon still leaked out a trace.

Ye Hongdao and the others guarding the door felt a refreshing and invigorating fragrance of elixir, which infused them with immense stellar energy. Their spirits lifted instantly, and their internal energy seemed to become more active.

As the light faded, nine pills, each the size of a longan and crystal clear like ice crystals, lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace, with countless tiny starlight swirling within them.

Each pill was crystal clear and exuded a mysterious aura.

Elder Ye Ming was so excited that tears almost fell from his eyes, and his voice was trembling.

This was the first time he had ever seen a pill of this quality; it completely exceeded the pill grades recorded in the Ye family's classic texts!

Wang Tian's face was somewhat pale. The continuous high-precision control and the use of the Xuanbing Flame had taken a heavy toll on him.

With a wave of his hand, he put the nine Star Soul Ice Vein Pills into a cold jade bottle, keeping three for himself and giving the remaining six to Elder Ye Ming.

"As previously agreed, this pill is called the Star Soul Ice Vein Pill. It is extremely helpful for those with ice-attribute physiques and those who need pure true qi. Of these six pills, three are the Ye family's reward, and the remaining three..." He looked towards the door, "Give them to Ye Qingxue. Her ice spirit body is very helpful for cultivation."

Elder Ye Ming carefully accepted the jade bottle, his hands trembling as he said, "Thank you, sir! Thank you for your gift!"

The news that Wang Tian had refined a divine pill quickly spread throughout the Ye family, causing a great uproar.

Ye Hongdao and the others entered the alchemy room and were all amazed as they examined the pills in the jade bottle in Elder Ye Ming's hand.

Ye Qingxue accepted the three pills specially prepared for her, feeling the pure energy contained within them. Recalling what Wang Tian had said to her, she felt a warmth in her heart. Looking at the courtyard where Wang Tian was, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

Not long after, the news that the mysterious Mr. Wang, a guest of the Ye family, had pointed out that Cui Ling had defeated the "Little Pill King" and had refined an astonishing divine pill in a single day of seclusion spread throughout Jinling with lightning speed, and even the entire ancient martial arts and alchemy world was shaken.
