The Elders' Combined Effort

Another hour had passed since the elders had sealed up the cauldron and by now popping sounds could be heard from inside the cauldron.

It was as if one was making popcorn in a pressure cooker as the sounds continued nonstop. Lin Mu could also see that the cauldron was lightly trembling because of the pressure that had built up inside it.

"It… it won't explode, right?" Lin Mu questioned.

"That will depend on their skill. If they miss the correct moment of opening the cauldron, they will mess up. If they open it too early, the pill will not congeal successfully and a part of its efficacy will be lost.

While if they open it too late, the cauldron will not be able to bear the pressure and then explode. Seeing as this cauldron is a mid grade spirit too, it is already a miracle that it has been able to bear it till now." Xukong answered.
