I've announced that I'm destined to have many children, and my father has bestowed upon me

There are gains and losses.

This time, Zhao Chen'an took the initiative to change his strategy.

When fusing the medicinal power, he no longer deliberately suppressed it, but allowed the Nine Provinces Universe Cauldron to dissipate some of the relatively impure energy, retaining only the most core and purest part.

Although doing this may reduce the number of pills produced in the end, and even slightly decrease their quality, it offers the advantage of stability.

At least, the oven won't explode anymore.

Sure enough, this method worked.

Under his control, various materials were systematically fused, extracted, and purified.

The medicinal liquid inside the cauldron gradually emitted a dazzling light, and a refreshing fragrance began to permeate the air.

High in the sky, Zhao Daoting's eyes widened in amazement.

done?

This time it should finally work!

He could sense that although the energy inside the cauldron was still immense, it had become much more stable and was showing signs of condensing into a pill.

However, just when everyone thought success was imminent.

hum-

The Nine Provinces Universe Cauldron began to shake violently once again.

An ominous aura emanated from it.

Boom!!!

The fourth explosion arrived as expected.

The potent medicinal power of countless essences poured out like a flood bursting its banks, flowing over every inch of the courtyard.

In an instant, the weeds in the yard began to grow wildly, and several ordinary ornamental flowers became crystal clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had been carved from jade.

The abundant vitality almost transformed into a tangible green mist.

The four women outside the courtyard felt their hearts sink to the bottom when they heard the fourth explosion.

"Failed again..." Li Qingluan's voice trembled slightly.

This time, however, Zhao Chen'an, who was in the courtyard, was not frustrated when he saw the scene of the explosion in the oven. Instead, he smiled.

"I see... I understand now."

He finally found the root of the problem!

The Ice Skin Jade Bone Pill's core is to use the boundless vitality of the Nine-Leaf Jade Dragon Ginseng and Phoenix Nirvana Blood to reshape the bones and cleanse the body.

This is a sacred elixir brimming with life.

His own inextinguishable ghost fire was a spiritual object of heaven and earth, with extremely high essence, but it also carried a trace of the cold and deathly aura of the Nine Netherworlds.

Using it to refine this vibrant elixir is inherently incompatible!

Like water and fire, they can never truly mix.

He had previously chosen to relinquish some of the medicinal power, which stabilized the situation but could not change the nature of the flames.

At the crucial moment of condensing the elixir, the wisp of deathly energy hidden deep within the flames became the last straw that broke the camel's back, igniting all life.

Having figured this out, Zhao Chen'an suddenly understood.

Let's try a different approach!

With a thought, a wisp of purple lightning leaped from his fingertip.

It was the Yellow-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure—Body Tempering Spiritual Thunder—that he obtained from his son, Zhao Xiao!

Thunder, being the most yang and the most powerful, also contains the power of destruction and rebirth.

"The undying ghost fire provides the extreme temperature, while the body-tempering spiritual lightning... acts as an insulating layer!"

A bold idea formed in Zhao Chen'an's mind.

He wants to combine two kinds of rare and precious substances from heaven and earth to refine elixirs!

Let's do it!

Zhao Chen'an took out the last set of materials, his eyes burning with an unprecedented light.

This is the last chance!

He channeled the body-tempering spiritual lightning into the cauldron, and the purple lightning instantly transformed into a dense electric net, covering the entire inner wall of the cauldron.

Then, the undying ghost fire surged in again.

The dark blue flames, separated by a layer of lightning, scorched the cauldron, transferring heat into it.

In this way, the cold and deathly energy in the ghost fire is completely isolated by the extreme yang power of the body-tempering spiritual lightning, and can no longer penetrate into the medicinal liquid!

Become!

This time, the refining process went incredibly smoothly.

The moment the last drop of Phoenix Rebirth Blood merged into the medicinal liquid.

boom!

An indescribable aura of terror surged into the sky from the Nine Provinces Universe Cauldron!

The sky above the entire imperial city changed color.

Vast swirling, auspiciously colored clouds gathered, painting the sky above the Prince of Wei's residence as if by divine intervention.

A thick golden beam of light shot out from the cauldron and pierced through the sky!

The intensely rich fragrance of elixir, centered on the Prince of Wei's residence, instantly swept through the entire imperial city!

Within the city, countless ordinary people smelled this fragrance and felt all their ailments disappear, leaving them refreshed and invigorated.

Some cultivators who were practicing even felt that the bottleneck that had been troubling them for many days was showing signs of loosening!

"Auspicious omens descend from the heavens! What divine elixir has been born?"

"The direction is... the Prince of Wei's residence! Could it be His Highness the Prince of Wei?"

"A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!"

The entire imperial city was in an uproar.

Zhao Daoting, who was at the center of the storm, was completely stunned.

He stared blankly at the towering pillar of light below, his mouth agape, feeling the medicinal aura that could move even a saint, his mind a complete blank.

This unfilial son...

He...he really...successfully mastered it?!

High-grade elixir!

A Saint-Rank Alchemist!

Such beings, existing only in legends, are even rarer than the sages of Sendai!

His own son, after a month of seclusion, went from a complete novice to a Saint-level alchemist?

Zhao Daoting felt that his worldview had been impacted like never before.

He was of course unaware that Zhao Chen'an possessed a Saint-grade auxiliary cultivation technique called the "Alchemy Heaven-Reaching Technique".

It is blessed with the title of "Master of Both Alchemy and Artifacts".

Furthermore, it possesses a sacred alchemy artifact such as the Nine Provinces Universe Cauldron, as well as two kinds of spiritual treasures from heaven and earth: the Undying Ghost Fire and the Body Tempering Spiritual Thunder.

All of this has led to the miracle we see today.

In the courtyard, the light faded.

Zhao Chen'an let out a long sigh, a tired smile appearing on his face.

He reached out and summoned two pills, each the size of a longan, ice-blue in color, with wisps of golden patterns flowing inside, which slowly flew into his hand.

Above the pill, there was even a miniature phoenix phantom circling and dancing, emitting clear and melodious cries.

He carefully took out a jade bottle carved from millennia-old warm jade.

This was prepared in advance by Tianjian Mountain, specifically for storing high-grade elixirs, to minimize the loss of their medicinal properties.

After placing two [Ice Skin Jade Bone Pills] into the bottle and sealing it, Zhao Chen'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My husband!"

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and four beautiful figures, their faces full of concern and joy, rushed in.

Wu Lanxue and Li Qingluan supported him on either side. Seeing that he was tired but unharmed, they both smiled sincerely.

"Great job! You did it!"

Xiao Chuchu curiously moved closer to him, craning her neck to look at the jade bottle in his hand.

"Is this the pill you refined? It doesn't seem... anything special."

Only Liu Ruoshuang did not step forward.

She simply stood there quietly, her exceptionally intelligent eyes fixed on Zhao Chen'an, the shock within them so intense it was almost palpable.

Saint-level alchemist...

My husband really did it!!
