Chapter 222: Refining Pills

'Peak Dou Emperors of the Snake-People Tribe?'

It was fine if he didn't think about it, but when Yao Lao mentioned the Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Yan felt a headache growing in his head. It was a coincidence that he met the Snake People Tribe on that occasion.

At the time, he was following his Master's instructions to search for the Heavenly Flame in Tager Desert, but after wandering for an unknown amount of time, he found no information about it.

However, with Yao Lao's help, he still gained some treasures and greatly improved his strength.

During his journey, he happened to meet a decrepit Grandmaster Dou of the Snake People Race. With his keen perception and years of experience, Yao Lao realized that the snake man's cultivation was sealed and could only be resolved with a sixth-tier pill combined with a Heavenly Flame.

So, Xiao Yan reported this to the other party and refined the pill, and in return, the other party agreed to help him in some matters as a favor.

Later, he encountered Gu He and snatched the Heavenly Flame from him. If he had not taken the Heavenly Flame, he would not be in much danger going to the Misty Cloud Sect, as he had a backup as the Supreme Elder of his Clan, Xiao Ming.

Although Xiao Yan's cultivation had advanced rapidly over the years and its speed was not inferior to that of Xiao Ming, he still had to admit that Xiao Ming, who had become a Dou Emperor at the same age as him and was also a sixth-tier Alchemist, was very formidable and a deterrent to the outside world.

However, after offending Gu He, his safety would be uncertain.

Gu He was a sixth-tier Alchemist in whom the Misty Cloud Sect had invested a lot of resources, and the Sect attached great importance to him. He had robbed Gu He and snatched his Heavenly Flame, so how could the Misty Cloud Sect let him go easily? Even if they gave Xiao Ming a face and didn't kill him, they would still make him hand over the Heavenly Flame.

This was something Xiao Yan couldn't bear, so to prevent accidents, he sought out the Snake-People Dou Emperor and asked him to be his bodyguard.

Although the Snake-People Tribe was ruthless and cunning, they valued favors, so the Grand Commander of the Snake-People Tribe quickly agreed.

However, when the Grand Commander of the Snake-People Tribe was about to leave, he had to report to his Queen, who then learned of the Heavenly Flame.

To this day, Xiao Yan still remembered the aura that emerged from the Queen of the Snake People Tribe when she learned that he possessed a Heavenly Flame. It was as if she was about to make a move against him.

However, probably because he had saved a member of her tribe, she decided not to make a move, but her attitude was still very unfriendly.

Later, the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa, offered to accompany him, but once the matter was over, he was obligated to lend her the Heavenly Flame to help her evolve.

Xiao Yan did not dare to refuse.

As a result, now he had two high-level experts Dou Emperors accompanying him, while Yun Yun, the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, was only a three-star Dou Emperor a few years ago.

Although the situation seemed great, Xiao Yan was a little afraid that the fierce character of Medusa would cause some kind of trouble.

Additionally, after entering the Jia Ma Empire, he did not know where those two powerful members of the Snake-People Tribe had gone.

With a sigh, Xiao Yan expressed his concern, "If an accident happens, I hope they will be able to appear in the Misty Cloud Sect in time that day."

However, Yao Lao was not worried, "Don't worry, powerful people take their promises seriously, and besides, you still have the Heavenly Flame they need within you, they will surely appear by then." To him, everything was very clear.

Xiao Yan nodded his head heavily, then said inwardly, 'Don't worry Master, I will definitely win this time.'

'After that, we'll head to Jia Nan Academy to collect enough Heavenly Flames that will allow you to be revived in the future!'

With that, Xiao Yan moved again and quickly disappeared into the vast sea of people in the Imperial Capital.

...

Time passed quickly.

Xiao Ming's mansion.

The room was well-lit, with dim lights scattered in every corner, illuminating the entire space and expelling all traces of darkness.

In the center of the room stood a large, crimson medicinal cauldron. It was covered in various strange patterns, and realistic images of ferocious beasts were etched into its body. If one listened closely, one could even hear a faint roar coming from the cauldron when the lid was opened.

To the right of the cauldron were a variety of packaged medicinal herbs, which were also rare and valuable. These were all sent by Hai Bodong and included both the herbs needed to refine the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill and the Mighty Huang Pill.

After a quick glance at the nearly heated medicinal cauldron, Xiao Ming took a deep breath to regulate his heartbeat.

With a flick of his sleeve, he effortlessly sent several medicinal herbs into the burning cauldron. The herbs wilted instantly under the high temperature, and a different-colored liquid slowly seeped from their main stems.

As the branches and leaves of the herbs withered and turned to ash, the drops of medicinal liquid floated on the red flame, and impurities in it dissipated under the cooking.

After watching the medicinal liquid become pure under the flame, Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction and snapped his fingers. All of the remaining medicinal herbs flew into the air and were then thrown into the cauldron, where they were instantly turned into powder or liquid and suspended in the mixture.

As time went on, more and more medicinal liquids and powders were added to the cauldron. Although refining these liquids took a great deal of soul power, it was still not a major burden for Xiao Ming, whose strength allowed him to refine sixth-tier pills with ease.

Once the final medicinal herb was added to the cauldron, Xiao Ming's hand seals changed, and the red flame inside the cauldron exploded with a terrifying temperature. The medicinal liquid was rapidly volatilized, and all impurities were completely refined.

"Condense!"

A powerful shout echoed from Xiao Ming's mouth, and instantly, dozens of drops of different colored medicinal liquid and some medicinal powders inside the crimson medicinal cauldron quickly condensed together, as if they were being thrown, and finally spun rapidly.

The medicinal liquid, which was initially the size of a fist, condensed and slowly shrunk under the scorching heat of the surrounding flames.

Now, after almost two to three hours, the previously condensed fist-sized pill was only the size of a thumb, and under its gradually decreasing rotation speed, a prototype pill could be seen slowly taking shape.

As Xiao Ming watched the prototype pill form, his heart, and mind relaxed a little.

The pill he was refining this time was a sixth-tier pill that could restore strength that had been diminished by a seal.

The effect of this pill was so rare that only a few needed it, and for the others, it was completely useless. Therefore, in terms of real value, the price of one of these pills was not as high as that of a Fighting Spirit Pill.

Of course, for those who needed it, it was priceless.

After an hour or so, a strange medicinal fragrance and a slight energy fluctuation suddenly burst forth from the medicinal cauldron.

With a wave of Xiao Ming's palm, a strange spatial fluctuation erupted, suppressing the energy fluctuation. The lid of the medicinal cauldron automatically lifted, and a green-colored pill with a faint fragrance emerged, finally being firmly grasped in Xiao Ming's hand before being placed into the pill bottle that had been prepared long ago.

"Alright, now it's time to refine the Mighty Huang Pill."
