Faced with a Quasi-Heaven Grade cultivation technique, Xian’er naturally chose to switch without hesitation.

Although the Rainbow Poison Book was quite suitable for Xian’er, no matter how compatible it was, it couldn’t compare to a Quasi-Heaven Grade cultivation technique.

Moreover, Xian’er now had a Fire Poison Attribute, meaning the Rainbow Poison Book was no longer a perfect fit for her.

In fact, in the current Dou Qi Continent, there might not be a single cultivation technique that was a perfect match for Xian’er.

If she wanted a technique that suited her best, she could only wait until she created one herself in the future.

This Great Sun Burning Heaven Art would indeed be slightly weaker after Xian’er switched to it, but even with that reduction, its effectiveness was still comparable to a High-Level Earth Grade cultivation technique.

A High-Level Earth Grade technique would at least be sufficient up to the mid-to-high Dou Zun level.

As for the Nine Dragons Fire Control Technique, Xian’er could also cultivate it.

The same applied to that Low-Level Earth Grade movement technique.

And the inheritance of a Peak Tier 7 Alchemist—that went without saying.

In short, the rewards brought back by Wei Yang were beneficial for both of them.

It was truly a win-win situation.

Wei Yang possessed a Late Mortal Realm soul, which should be about the same as Han Feng’s, barely reaching the Initial Tier 7 Alchemist level.

After all, a Peak Mortal Realm soul corresponded to a Peak Tier 7 Alchemist.

Therefore, with Wei Yang’s Late Mortal Realm soul power, he had a high chance of successfully refining a Tier 5 Pill.

As long as he was careful, the chances of failure were quite low.

Of course, for his first attempt at refining a Tier 5 Pill, Wei Yang certainly wouldn’t start with something as difficult as the Dou Spirit Pill.

After all, the Dou Spirit Pill was already considered a Peak Tier 5 Pill.

Even a Peak Tier 5 Alchemist couldn’t guarantee a 100% success rate when refining it—having a 50% success rate was already quite good.

On his first day, Wei Yang chose to refine a Tier 5 Qi Restoration Pill.

The Qi Restoration Pill was a Tier 5 Consumable Pill.

For Dou Huang and even Dou Zong powerhouses, it had the effect of accelerating Dou Qi recovery, making it a relatively high-tier consumable pill.

Even so, during his first attempt, Wei Yang still ended up damaging several common Tier 5 medicinal ingredients.

Afterward, however, nothing unexpected happened, and he successfully refined the pill.

As a result, Wei Yang successfully advanced to a Tier 5 Alchemist.

”This Peak Rank 4 Beast Flame is already struggling to keep up...” Wei Yang sighed.

A Peak Rank 4 Beast Flame now provided little to no enhancement for his alchemy.

On the second day, he continued refining pills.

This time, Wei Yang chose to refine a Tier 5 Wind Walking Pill.

The process went smoothly, and the pill was successfully refined.

Over the next few days, he alternated between studying the Peak Tier 7 Alchemist inheritance and refining Tier 5 Pills.

Finally, by the eighth day, after gaining sufficient confidence, Wei Yang officially began refining the Dou Spirit Pill.

Inside the secret chamber.

A deep crimson firelight flickered.

The temperature here was much higher than outside.

Within the cauldron, dark red flames burned and leaped, illuminating the chamber with an eerie glow.

A cauldron over a meter tall stood firmly in the center of the chamber.

The surface of the cauldron was engraved with birds, beasts, insects, and fish, which, under the fire’s reflection, appeared almost alive.

The surrounding temperature continued to rise.

Wei Yang sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron, eyes closed in meditation.

Beside him, Xian’er was also seated cross-legged, her face filled with serious concentration, like a diligent student.

After a moment—

Wei Yang opened his eyes.

The preheating process for the cauldron was complete.

With a flick of his hand, several jade bottles and jade boxes flew out from his storage ring, landing on the ground.

Then, under the control of an invisible force, the lids of the jade bottles and boxes opened one after another.

One by one, rare medicinal ingredients floated out and hovered in mid-air.

Each ingredient required for the Dou Spirit Pill was exceptionally precious. At the moment, Wei Yang only had two full sets of ingredients.

If both attempts failed, he would run out of ingredients, and who knew how long it would take to gather them again?

Wei Yang’s gaze swept across the floating ingredients, carefully confirming that everything was in order.

Then, he formed a hand seal and took action—

Boom!

Inside the cauldron, the dark-red flames blazed even more intensely.

Above the cauldron, the constantly distorting air revealed that the temperature had already reached a terrifying level.

At this moment, a vast and boundless soul power surged from Wei Yang’s forehead and entered the cauldron.

Inside, the dark-red flames churned violently before splitting into more than a dozen smaller flames.

Immediately after, the medicinal ingredients floating outside were enveloped by spiritual power and sent into the cauldron.

The dark-red flames swept forth, each one wrapping around a medicinal herb. Under Wei Yang’s precise control, the flames adjusted to different temperatures to refine the medicinal properties of each ingredient.

Yes, refining over a dozen medicinal ingredients at once.

For Wei Yang, with his current level of soul power, this was too easy.

Moreover, refining medicinal ingredients was only an early step in alchemy—one of the simpler phases.

...

Inside the cauldron, the dark-red flames blazed fiercely.

At this moment, more than a dozen flames formed a circle, each maintaining a different temperature as they tempered the medicinal ingredients inside.

Yet, none of the flames interfered with one another.

Under the searing heat, the herbs’ original forms rapidly melted and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xian’er watched intently.

She was already accustomed to Wei Yang’s overwhelming spiritual power.

What truly captivated her was his absolute mastery over the flames, wielding them with unparalleled precision.

Her eyes remained locked onto Wei Yang’s every movement.

...

Wei Yang’s hands constantly shifted through various seals.

His expression remained indifferent, and within his dark pupils, the raging flames in the cauldron were reflected.

His hands moved as gracefully as plucking flowers or picking leaves, appearing slow yet actually leaving countless afterimages in the air.

It was like the illusion of a Thousand-Handed Buddha.

There was an indescribable sense of aesthetic beauty—effortlessly executed yet breathtakingly intricate.

...

Time slowly passed. Outside, the sky was already beginning to darken.

Wei Yang frowned slightly, a trace of helplessness flashing across his face.

This peak Rank 4 Beast Flame...

Even refining the medicinal ingredients was proving to be a time-consuming effort.

For Tier 5 ingredients, the power of a Rank 4 Beast Flame was indeed somewhat insufficient.

More time passed.

By the time the sky outside had completely darkened—

Finally.

The first stage of alchemy, refining and purifying the medicinal properties, was complete.

Inside the cauldron, the original forms of the medicinal ingredients had completely disappeared. What remained were glowing, viscous or diluted medicinal liquids, nurtured by the flames.

The entire process had gone smoothly without any mistakes.

Seeing that the essence of the medicinal ingredients was finally refined, Wei Yang let out a light sigh of relief.

Now came the most crucial step—

Condensing the Pill!

Wei Yang’s hand seals changed as he uttered in a low voice, ”Condense!”

Inside the cauldron, the dark-red flames began to gather toward the center, merging into a single, massive blaze.

Encased within this fire, the purified medicinal essences made their first contact!

Boom!

The various medicinal liquids inside the cauldron collided, their different medicinal properties clashing against each other.

The gathered multicolored liquid mass remained distinct, each component clearly separated.

With an earth-shaking yet seemingly non-existent explosion, a surge of energy rippled outward, causing the dark-red flames to tremble violently.

The energy shockwave did not dissipate immediately. Instead, after breaking through the dark-red flames, it continued spreading in waves, expanding outward.

Only when it collided with the inner walls of the cauldron did it gradually fade into nothingness.

However, the entire cauldron shook uncontrollably from the impact!

Crack!

Faint cracks began appearing across its surface.

Shit!

Wei Yang cursed inwardly.

Xian’er clenched her small hands tightly, her expression growing tense.

This cauldron... After refining Tier 5 pills for the past few days, it was already showing signs of wear. And now, it was on the verge of breaking apart?!

This was precisely why a high-quality cauldron was crucial for an alchemist.

A cauldron of merely average quality, like the one Wei Yang was using now, was already on the brink of shattering at any moment.

If that really happened, the pill being refined would undoubtedly be ruined.

All the medicinal ingredients and effort invested would be completely wasted!

Wei Yang hadn’t expected such a mishap at this stage.
