Liu Ming stared intently at the cauldron, not even blinking. It was his first time refining the Dueling Sword Pill, and he had no idea how long the pill would take to condense or when the right moment for condensation would be. He had to remain constantly vigilant so as not to miss the perfect opportunity to infuse it with sword qi.
The two of them stayed in the thatched hut for three days and three nights like this.
Liu Ming became increasingly proficient with the timing of injecting the sword qi, each time silently infusing it into the cauldron, and most of it was completely absorbed by the pill inside, with only a small part dissipating away.
Just as Liu Ming thought that the pill might take even longer to refine, the lid of the cauldron suddenly began to tremble slightly, starting to emit white flames.
