Chapter 434: The Formation of the Preliminary Pill and the Appearance of Pill Lightning

Xiao Ze's gaze fell on the Source Blood Heart and the Glazed Bead. The Source Blood Heart was a treasure he found at the location of the ancient Sky Serpent's remains, while the Glazed Bead was a reward from helping the Holy Spirit Sage. Both were incredibly valuable, more than enough as primary ingredients for the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill.

First, Xiao Ze placed the Source Blood Heart into the golden fire cauldron. The flames turned into a dragon, instantly engulfing it. A faint blood-red light emanated, resisting the golden flames' power, causing Xiao Ze to squint slightly. As expected, treasures nurtured over millennia were extraordinary.

His soul power surged, and the might of the Origin Emperor Flame increased. The blood-red light from the Source Blood Heart could no longer resist and was aggressively devoured by the golden flames. However, this was merely the first step in refining the Source Blood Heart. Breaking through its protective light was just the beginning; fully melting the core would take time due to its immense energy.

Several days later, Xiao Ze suddenly opened his eyes. He tossed a handful of intensely spiritual Spirit Nurturing Powder into the cauldron, merging it with the nearly refined Source Blood Heart to enhance its spiritual essence. The Spirit Nurturing Powder was commonly used in high-grade alchemy. In the original story, it greatly aided Xiao Yan, allowing him to elevate his soul realm rapidly.

After integrating nearly thirty Spirit Nurturing Powders, the liquid swirling in the flames exuded strong spiritual energy. Xiao Ze then wrapped it with the Origin Emperor Flame, storing it in a corner of the cauldron. With the most challenging part over, Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the Glazed Bead. Just a glance revealed its unbreakable quality.

He threw the Glazed Bead and a large number of other herbs into the golden cauldron. The bead's hardness required the assistance of other ingredients to fully refine it. Although the Origin Emperor Flame could forcibly refine the Glazed Bead, it was more efficient to combine it with the herbs during the process.

This time, nearly five hundred herbs were added. Elder Tongxuan watched Xiao Ze's seamless refining of the Source Blood Heart with admiration. Xiao Ze's graceful and fluid movements surpassed any alchemy master he had seen, indicating a mastery that allowed him to be so effortless.

However, seeing Xiao Ze throw five hundred herbs into the cauldron at once, Elder Tongxuan was taken aback. He looked at Xiao Ze's calm demeanor and then at the other women watching intently. They seemed unfazed, as if such a sight was ordinary.

Elder Tongxuan stroked his beard. Perhaps he had been out of touch with the outside world too long. Had alchemy techniques changed so drastically, becoming this rough and direct? The previous moment was graceful, and now five hundred herbs were thrown in at once?

Despite his surprise and curiosity, Elder Tongxuan restrained his emotions and continued watching. Witnessing a ninth-rank alchemy master at work was a rare and valuable experience.

After several days, Xiao Ze finally finished refining the Glazed Bead. The powdered particles emitted a bright, pure light. With the two main ingredients for the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill ready, the next steps would be easier until the pill formation.

He placed the Glazed Bead powder aside and then added all the remaining ingredients into the cauldron. With his soul power, he could control the process precisely. Each herb required a different flame temperature to refine, a skill of multitasking essential for high-grade alchemists. Xiao Ze had honed this ability to perfection.

Time passed quietly. Eventually, Xiao Ze opened his eyes again, his face serious as he looked into the cauldron. The preliminary pill inside emitted energy waves that made the cauldron tremble.

Gulp!

Elder Tongxuan was more anxious than the others, his eyes fixed on the cauldron. He feared the preliminary ninth-rank pill's energy might break the cauldron, ruining the alchemy process. Fortunately, his worry was unfounded. A peculiar energy emanated from the golden cauldron, breaking through the spatial seal Elder Tongxuan had set, shooting straight into the sky.

Instantly, the sky darkened, clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled, as if preparing to crush the emerging treasure pill.

"Success…" Elder Tongxuan muttered, gazing at the brewing thunderstorm. It had been nearly a century since he had last seen this. The Black Demon Lightning's power was terrifying, far surpassing the nine-colored pill lightning.

Even a Dou Sheng wouldn't dare take it lightly. Elder Tongxuan looked at Xiao Ze, standing in the firelight, his figure outlined in gold. A ninth-rank alchemy grandmaster!

Elder Tongxuan exhaled slowly. Such a title carried immense weight, signifying one had truly reached the pinnacle of the alchemy world.
