Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

164: Chapter 163 Five Colors, Elixir CompletedCao Ying began to introduce the effects of the pill in detail.

”This pill helps practitioners break through their cultivation bottlenecks.”

”It can harmonize the power of the five elements within a practitioner, allowing them to reach a more perfect state of balance, thereby unblocking the nodes in the meridians, making the circulation of Dou Qi smoother and unobstructed, and creating favorable conditions for breaking through to a new realm.”

”In addition, the five elements profound mysterious pill also has the effect of repairing soul injuries.”

”If a practitioner’s soul has been damaged during cultivation or combat, taking this pill will slowly nourish the damaged soul, repair the cracks in the soul, restore the soul’s vitality, and improve the soul’s strength to a certain extent.”

”Finally, the five elements profound mysterious pill can briefly stimulate a practitioner’s potential. At critical moments, taking this pill allows a practitioner to unleash power that exceeds their own limits in a short period.”

”Whether it is the output of Dou Qi or the execution of a Dou Technique, it will reach a new height.”

After listening to Cao Ying’s explanation, Chen Yang could not help but nod again, marveling inwardly.

This was indeed a heaven-defying pill; it could actually enhance a practitioner in every aspect. Truly worthy of the Pill Tower; there are just so many interesting pill recipes here.

”Then I will begin refining!”

Cao Ying glanced at Chen Yang, a trace of determination in her eyes, and spoke again.

Chen Yang nodded, his eyes filled with encouragement.

Cao Ying no longer hesitated. She turned her palm upward, and with a light stroke, a cluster of golden-blue flames instantly appeared in her hand.

This was the Beast Fire of the Rank 8 Magical Beast, the Nine-Glory Prison Flame Dragon Lion; the flames burned fiercely, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

Chen Yang sighed inwardly, not expecting that Xuan Kongzi would go out of his way to find a Rank 8 Beast Fire for his disciple, Cao Ying, to use.

One must know that the Beast Fire of a Rank 8 Magical Beast is not inferior to the strange fires ranked below twentieth on the strange fire ranking list; this was enough to show how much Xuan Kongzi valued Cao Ying.

”The main medicinal ingredient for refining this pill is the Five Elements Spirit Flower. As the main ingredient, it is the core component of the five elements profound mysterious pill.”

As Cao Ying spoke, she began to prepare the medicinal ingredients in an orderly manner.

”The secondary ingredients are Profound Gold Spirit Sand, Green Wood Heart Marrow, Red Fire Crystal Core, Nether Water Soul Pearl, and Thick Earth Essence Rock, along with tens of thousands of common medicinal ingredients.”

Cao Ying was there talking to herself, while Chen Yang and Dan Chen sat honestly in the distance, quietly watching Cao Ying refine the pill; they both understood that they could not disturb Cao Ying at this moment.

After all, Cao Ying had already started refining the pill; it was no longer appropriate to talk.

Refining a Rank 8 Five-Color pill was still very difficult for Cao Ying; she basically had to concentrate all her attention, as the slightest mistake would lead to failure.

Cao Ying began to continuously cast the common medicinal ingredients into the pill cauldron; her movements were skillful and precise, and she began to use the flames to refine them into medicinal liquid.

This was a relatively long process, but Cao Ying was already well-versed and proficient in refining these ingredients into medicinal liquid, and she did not make any mistakes.

Her gaze was incredibly focused, staring intently at the pill cauldron; in the blink of an eye, it had taken ten days to refine tens of thousands of medicinal ingredients.

Next was the refinement of the main secondary ingredients and the main ingredient.

These were naturally no problem for Cao Ying, and soon a day passed, and all the medicinal ingredients were finally refined.

The next step was a relatively important one: fusing the medicinal liquids.

One must know that with so many medicinal liquids, if those with conflicting properties were fused together, this batch of pills would fail to be refined.

Therefore, Cao Ying was exceptionally cautious during this step; beads of sweat slightly oozed from her forehead, and her eyes were filled with caution.

As the medicinal liquids fused, the largest medicinal liquid in the center began to continuously change color.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

The medicinal liquids from the common ingredients had basically been fused together; next, the important secondary ingredients and the main ingredient had to be fused in order.

”Next is the Thick Earth Essence Rock.”

Cao Ying used her soul power to guide a cluster of earth-yellow medicinal liquid, beginning to fuse it with the green medicinal liquid.

This step was also done without any mishaps; after the fusion was complete, the medicinal liquid had turned light green.

Then, the Green Wood Heart Marrow was fused, the Red Fire Crystal Core was fused, and the Profound Gold Spirit Sand was fused; now, only one last one remained.

The Nether Water Soul Pearl was also guided by Cao Ying and successfully fused; at this moment, Cao Ying’s forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her expression was slightly nervous.

Her hands trembled slightly, but she still tried hard to control her emotions, because now she had reached the final step: forming the pill!

This step required all the medicinal liquids to be completely fused together, and it was also the most difficult step.

If this step was not done well, not only would the pill cauldron explode, causing the refinement to fail, but all the previous steps would also be wasted.

Watching Cao Ying’s nervous expression, Chen Yang immediately released his soul power, beginning to monitor the formation of the pill every moment.

Chen Yang closed his eyes tightly, his soul power continuously observing the interior of the pill cauldron; if there was the slightest thing wrong, Chen Yang would directly intervene, forcibly cutting off Cao Ying’s refinement process, and refine it himself.

Chen Yang highly approved of Cao Ying’s refinement techniques; her techniques were perfect, truly worthy of a great teacher producing an excellent student.

However, compared to Chen Yang, she was still a little lacking, but she was already very strong.

After all, Cao Ying had learned it bit by bit on her own, while Chen Yang had obtained his abilities through cheating; the two could not be compared.

Suddenly, a subtle fluctuation came from the pill inside the cauldron, which Chen Yang’s soul power had already captured, but Cao Ying had clearly not noticed it.

This subtle fluctuation seemed to be the reason for Cao Ying’s failure in refining the pill.

Her soul power for refining a Rank 8 pill that causes Five-Color Pill Lightning was still a little bit lacking; do not underestimate this ”little bit,” as for refining pills, this little bit could be a chasm that an alchemist might never be able to cross in their entire life.

Clearly, this was the situation Cao Ying was facing now, and Chen Yang did not hesitate, directly using his soul power to forcibly intervene, beginning to control the flames in Cao Ying’s hands.

Cao Ying instantly discovered Chen Yang’s intervention; she raised her eyes to look at Chen Yang, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.

In Cao Ying’s view, her pill refinement was fine, and it was about to form the pill, so she did not understand why Chen Yang would intervene at this moment.

Chen Yang did not pay attention to Cao Ying’s gaze, but instead began to control the flames on his own.

As Chen Yang let the flames penetrate into the interior of the pill, Cao Ying finally discovered that in the center of the pill, there was a cluster of five-colored medicinal liquid that had not been completely fused together.

If she had continued refining just now, it was clear that the pill cauldron would have exploded immediately.

But now with Chen Yang’s intervention, as the flames burned, the five-colored medicinal liquid inside the pill that had not been completely fused slowly merged together, forming the shape of a nascent pill.

This was clearly a sign that the pill was about to succeed.

Outside the Pill Tower.

”Boom!”

With a loud noise, dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky above, and as the dark clouds rolled, the first color began to appear.

The people cultivating in the Pill Tower Plaza naturally discovered the Pill Lightning as well; they were all shocked, stopping their cultivation one after another, and looked up at the sky.
