Chapter 147: Preparation of the Extreme Yang Pill, Sixth-Level Alchemist!

Listening to the thunderous battle sounds outside, Ziyan's small face showed surprise.

"It seems Xiao Ze wasn't lying. He's strong enough to easily defeat me," Ziyan said, biting her lip. "No way, I must also eat more rare herbs and advance to the sixth level."

Following her innate talent for finding treasures, Ziyan soon reached a place where the energy was extremely dense. In front of her was a plant taller than her, completely golden with flame patterns on its leaves. The plant radiated intense heat, making Ziyan's small face frown.

As a magical beast, Ziyan had always been naturally resistant to fire. However, feeling the abundant energy it contained, her face lit up with a smile. Carefully, imitating Xiao Ze, she stored the plant in a secure container.

"Wow, it seems the energy hasn't decreased," Ziyan murmured, looking at the ground. "Could it be hidden below?"

With this idea in mind, Ziyan started digging with her hands. In the blink of an eye, she had dug several meters deep.

"Clang!" A sharp pain shot through her fingers as she hit something extremely hard. "Ouch!"

With tears in her eyes, Ziyan blew on her aching fingers.

"This must be the yang jin (solar gold) Xiao Ze was looking for," Ziyan said, abandoning her previous digging method and opting to dig carefully around the hard object.

Soon, a large golden rock, taller than her, was exposed. Feeling the wild and violent energy emanating from the rock, Ziyan solemnly stored it in her storage ring. After ensuring there were no more treasures in the area, Ziyan surfaced again.

As Xiao Ze fought intensely outside the area, he heard Ziyan's message and decided not to wait any longer. Gathering a large amount of energy in his palm, he unleashed a powerful strike at the furious flame tiger.

"Bang!" The dull sound resonated as the flame tiger was stunned. If not for the protection of its combat energy, that strike could have shattered its head.

When the tiger regained its senses, Xiao Ze was no longer in sight.

That day, the animals near the extreme yang zone remembered the fear of being dominated by the flame tiger, with its burning energy and terrifying strength, mixed with a touch of dragon majesty.

After successfully escaping, Ziyan examined Xiao Ze from head to toe.

"You're a monster, you've surpassed me in such a short time," Ziyan commented.

"Isn't it obvious I should surpass you?" Xiao Ze responded naturally, earning a playful hit from Ziyan.

After a brief skirmish, Xiao Ze took out the numerous treasures they had collected to divide them. When Ziyan brought out the enormous yang jin rock, Xiao Ze couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"With this, I can prepare the Extreme Yang Pill."

After preparing some additional pills for Ziyan, Xiao Ze returned to the academy to gather the necessary materials for the Extreme Yang Pill. On the way, he didn't encounter Xiao Yan, as the academy was quite large.

While Xiao Ze gathered materials, Xiao Yan was training in the Qi Refining Tower. With Yao Lao's guidance, he had discovered that the Fallen Heart Flame was in the tower.

To master this powerful fire, Xiao Yan needed to become even stronger. Fortunately, during his journey to the academy, he had another opportunity and managed to absorb a beast flame, elevating his Flame Control technique to the advanced yellow rank. Although possessing two beast flames was impressive, Yao Lao had made it clear that they weren't as powerful as the Fallen Heart Flame, increasing his desire to master it, even if it meant facing the academy.

After several attempts, Xiao Ze finally gathered all the materials for the Extreme Yang Pill. As the preparation couldn't be done in the academy due to the risk of explosions, he decided to take Xiao Yi Xian and Ziyan to the mountains to find a suitable place.

In a gorge near the swamp, Xiao Ze took out his spiritual cauldron and placed all the materials for the Extreme Yang Pill. Most of these materials were metals, making anyone think he was a blacksmith rather than an alchemist. Xiao Ze reviewed the pill recipe again. Although he had the ability to verify the recipe was correct, he knew the preparation difficulty was extremely high, even for a sixth-level alchemist.

However, he was determined to prepare it. He considered this pill his gateway to becoming a sixth-level alchemist.

"Boom!" Xiao Ze's figure was thrown into the air. Xiao Yi Xian and Ziyan, who were watching from the sides of the gorge, were astonished.

"Wow! The first step is already this difficult," exclaimed Xiao Ze. "The energy contained in the yang jin is wild and violent. Once activated, it explodes like gunpowder. Trying to refine it is like trying to burn gunpowder with fire."

After several failed attempts and repeatedly being thrown into the air, Xiao Ze finally found the balance between his spiritual energy and the fire's intensity, crucial for refining yang jin.

"At last!" he said, relieved.

With the main material ready, the following steps were simpler. However, Xiao Ze knew the most complicated step was yet to come: pill condensation.

After many efforts and with the help of his powerful spiritual energy, Xiao Ze managed to condense the pill. Opening the cauldron, a bright golden pill emanated a powerful energy.

"Xiao Ze, did you make it?" Ziyan asked.

"Yes and no," Xiao Ze replied, showing the golden pill. "This Extreme Yang Pill is not stable. Having it is like carrying a Dou Huang-level fighter ready to explode at any moment."

With a swift motion, Xiao Ze threw the pill far away.
