”Hmph!” Wei Yang snorted coldly.

A vast soul power surged into the cauldron, enveloping it completely. At the same time, a thick protective layer formed on the inner walls of the cauldron, continuously resisting the impact of energy ripples.

There was no way he would allow the cauldron to be destroyed at this moment.

This was the most critical stage. The slightest mistake would cause the cauldron to explode, rendering all the medicinal ingredients and previous efforts completely wasted!

Thus, Wei Yang spared no expense in expending a large amount of his soul power to stabilize and protect the cauldron.

Xian’er stared nervously at the violently trembling cauldron, even holding her breath, as if afraid that a single exhale would cause the already pressured cauldron to explode.

After stabilizing the cauldron with his soul power, Wei Yang remained calm and unhurried. At this moment, composure was the most important thing.

He could not afford to panic.

Slowly, he increased the intensity of his soul power on the liquid medicine while also maintaining control over the raging beast flame.

At this moment, he absolutely could not suddenly intensify his soul power. The medicinal properties were constantly clashing and merging, a process that had to proceed gradually and required patience.

If he forcibly accelerated or compressed this process, the medicinal properties might violently conflict and explode instantly!

It was like a spring— the more forcefully you compressed it, the stronger its resistance.

Thus, he had to proceed slowly and patiently, without rushing.

...

Time passed, second by second.

Then, at a certain moment—

The conflict between the medicinal properties within the cauldron gradually subsided, and the essence of the medicinal ingredients fully fused into a single entity.

A moment later—

A blue-green pill, with a rough and uneven surface, appeared within the embrace of the dark red flames, slowly rotating.

Wei Yang let out a long breath. The most critical and difficult step of refining the pill was finally over.

A trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes. Looking at the embryonic form of the pill, a faint smile appeared on his face.

The prolonged period of refining, combined with the expenditure of soul power to protect the cauldron, had left him mentally fatigued.

Fortunately, the pill’s embryonic form was now complete.

From here on, he only needed to continuously refine it further until it fully formed. The most dangerous and challenging phase had passed.

Beside him, Xian’er, seeing the embryonic form of the pill, finally relaxed. The small fists she had been clenching so tightly slowly loosened.

Her delicate face revealed an expression of excitement—because a peak Tier 5 pill was about to be born!

And it was happening right before her eyes.

A peak Tier 5 pill— in the entire Jia Ma Empire, the number of alchemists capable of successfully refining one could be counted on a single hand, at most only two or three.

She couldn’t help but gently close her eyes, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Over this period, by studying the inheritance of a peak Tier 7 alchemist and observing Wei Yang refining Tier 5 pills, today, she had also witnessed the entire process of refining the Dou Spirit Pill. She had gained a lot from it.

She had already vaguely grasped a certain feeling— a sensation that could help her step into a Tier 4 alchemist.

She was already at the peak of the Tier 3.

Through consuming Soul Nourishing Liquid and breaking through to Dou Wang,

Her soul power had now reached a level comparable to an ordinary low-rank Dou Huang expert. She was only one step away from becoming a Tier 4 alchemist!

...

Inside the cauldron—

Under the constant refinement of the dark red flames, the previously rough and uneven blue-green pill gradually became smooth and round.

A faint medicinal fragrance emanated from the pill, seeping through the cauldron and slowly spreading throughout the sealed chamber.

Wisps of medicinal aroma, visible to the naked eye, swirled in the air.

Smelling the rich scent, both of them felt their spirits lift, as if their fatigue had been completely swept away, their bodies revitalized with energy.

Of course, this was just an illusion.

A mere wisp of pill fragrance could help refresh the mind, but it was impossible to truly eliminate mental and physical fatigue.

This was only a peak Tier 5 pill.

It was not some legendary Tier 8 or even Tier 9 pill— those were imbued with intense spiritual energy, possessed intelligence comparable to humans, and could even cultivate and grow on their own!

...

As the night passed and the morning sun rose, the outside world brightened.

Inside the chamber, however, Wei Yang and Xian’er were still full of energy, their eyes locked onto the cauldron, watching the increasingly round and complete pill.

The pill fragrance thickened, becoming even more intense.

The pill—was about to be fully formed.

Suddenly!

A powerful surge of energy burst forth from within the cauldron, sending shockwaves through the cauldron’s walls. Wei Yang let out a muffled grunt, his body trembling slightly, nearly losing control of his soul power around the cauldron.

He hurriedly increased the output of his soul power, wrapping the cauldron tightly.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly— the Dou Spirit Pill was far beyond an ordinary Tier 5 pill in terms of difficulty.

As this surge of energy erupted, it seemed to resonate with the energy of heaven and earth!

At that moment, the spacious chamber trembled with energy fluctuations.

The dense medicinal fragrance that had been dispersing in the air suddenly reversed course, swirling back into the cauldron.

Above the cauldron, blue and green energy clouds formed, twisting and entangling like two furious dragons, coiling together as they hovered above.

Their dragon heads lowered, massive jaws opening wide.

And the target of their bites was precisely the Dou Spirit Pill that was about to take shape!

The moment this phenomenon appeared, Wei Yang and Xian’er both widened their eyes in astonishment.

This was the embryonic form of a phenomenon that only high-grade pills could trigger.

The quality of this Dou Spirit Pill was already infinitely close to a Tier 6 pill!

It was definitely of high quality!

The two exchanged glances, both seeing the delight in each other’s eyes.

Although there had been some unexpected situations in refining this Dou Spirit Pill, they hadn’t expected that it would actually turn out to be of high quality.

This was extremely rare.

Even though Wei Yang had a strong soul foundation, this was his first time refining a peak Tier 5 pill. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.

Their gazes remained fixed on the Dou Spirit Pill within the cauldron, which was now on the verge of completion, paying no attention at all to the phenomenon above the cauldron.

This was merely the embryonic form of a phenomenon, not a true Heaven and Earth phenomenon.

There wouldn’t suddenly be a bolt of lightning striking down. After all, it was just a peak Tier 5 pill. No matter how good the quality was, it wouldn’t attract a Pill Lightning.

Soon, the embryonic form of the phenomenon above the cauldron quickly dissipated.

”Gather!” Wei Yang formed a hand seal.

Since this energy had already gathered, it couldn’t be wasted.

Inside the cauldron, the pill emitted a powerful suction force. The remaining traces of the phenomenon’s energy and the pill fragrance that had yet to dissipate all flowed back, converging into the pill.

As these energies merged in, the pill spun rapidly, appearing even more perfectly round and full.

Wei Yang reached out his hand, and with a swift motion, the pill inside the cauldron shot into his palm.

As the pill took shape, Wei Yang also retracted his Beast Flame and soul power.

Crack!

Boom!

The cauldron, which stood over a meter tall, was quickly covered in countless tiny cracks before collapsing with a loud crash.

Wei Yang glanced at it once before ignoring it—he had already expected this outcome.

It was just an average-quality cauldron, which could no longer keep up with his current alchemy skills.

He still had a backup cauldron, though its material was probably similar. It was also a part of Gu Te’s collection.

Ignoring the destroyed cauldron, the two of them lowered their heads and carefully examined the blue-green pill in Wei Yang’s palm, which still carried residual heat and had profound Pill Line on its surface.

”Pill Line!” Xian’er exclaimed.

Pill Line was a mysterious pattern that only pills of high quality or higher could produce.

The higher the grade of the pill, the harder it was to form Pill Line, but once they appeared, their profundity was unfathomable.

”Let’s rest for a day. Tomorrow, I’ll refine another Dou Spirit Pill. We still have one more set of ingredients. This high Dou Spirit Pill—I’ll keep it for myself.”

Wei Yang chuckled, ”If I consume it, I have a high chance of smoothly advancing by two stars.”

A high Dou Spirit Pill was, of course, something Wei Yang would keep for himself.

Moreover, he still had three Green Lotus Seeds, which would allow him to rapidly gain several stars of strength even during the Dou Wang stage.

However, refining all three Green Lotus Seeds like this felt like a bit of a waste.

After all, these were the last three he had. Perhaps throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, only these three remained, aside from the two that Yao Lao possessed.

In other unknown regions, perhaps other Green Lotus Core Flames were being born, but the chances of two maturing at the same time were extremely low.

Thus, these last five Green Lotus Seeds might be the only ones left.

...

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Wei Yang set off for Wu Tan City.

He successfully exchanged a peak Tier 4 Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill and an ordinary-quality peak Tier 5 Dou Spirit Pill for two Acceptance Soul.

The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill came from Gu Te’s collection.

As for the ordinary-quality Dou Spirit Pill, Wei Yang had refined it himself.

Whoosh!

Flying through the sky, Wei Yang held the two Acceptance Soul in his hand, carefully examining them.

These were two thumb-sized gray stones, smooth as jade, without any blemishes. They emitted a faint gray glow, resembling precious gemstones.

At the heart of the stones, a faint blue radiance slowly wriggled, like a firefly sealed in amber—vivid and lifelike.

This was the legendary Acceptance Soul.

These two small, shiny gray stones were incredibly valuable.

To those who needed them, they were worth more than two Dou Spirit Pills.

Wei Yang shook his head with a smile and flipped his hand to store the Acceptance Soul away.

With these, he and Xian’er had completed another step in their preparation for devouring an Heavenly Flame.

Even if, for now, they had yet to find one.

Whoosh!&nbsp

With a flap of his Dou Qi Wings, his figure turned into a dark red streak of light, rapidly sweeping across the sky.

It was time to set off for the Tagore Desert!
