The flames in the Dragon Tiger Pill Furnace surged wildly compared to when they were refining the previous batch of Green Snake bl**d Spirit Pills.
The enormous furnace now resembled a mountain of flames, radiating intense heat.
Inside the furnace, it was like a world of flames.
When the wind follows the dragon and the clouds follow the tiger.
The flames inside the furnace were controlled by Xue Jing, causing the dragon and tiger to breathe in and out, creating a scene of ever-changing weather.
Only then did it truly have the grand aura of ‘pill refinement’.
More remarkably, Tang Xiaobao sat inside the furnace unscathed.
If an Internal Breathing Realm cultivator jumped into this flame, they would turn to ashes in an instant.
Yet, Tang Xiaobao’s body emitted light.
Moreover, as time passed and the temperature rose, the glow around him became increasingly brighter.
“Master, it’s about time.”
“It’s time to add the ingredients; I’m ready.”
Tang Xiaobao’s voice drifted out from the furnace.
“Mm-hm.”
“I’ve prepared for a long time!”
Xue Jing, a powerful Inner Breath Realm expert, had sweat marks on his forehead.
After more than four thousand years.
Xiaobao finally opened his spiritual wisdom and became a human through pill refinement in this generation.
There was also a chance for a re-refinement to become a true Nine Orifices Dragon Tiger Golden Core.
Of course, it was only a chance, with slim hope.
Danding Peak hadn’t produced a Pill Master in many years, including him, who was still quite far from that level.
Furthermore, the Nine Orifices Dragon Tiger Golden Core was something that Da Shang had once exhausted its national treasury to refine.
Now, Danding Peak didn’t have such resources…
But he must try.
Li Mo couldn’t help but slow his breathing, feeling a bit tense.
On both sides, wooden boxes that had been placed earlier were suddenly opened one by one.
They contained rare treasures, each emitting pure energy.
“Come!”
Xue Jing stretched out his hand.
A strange flower fell into his palm, completing the initial preparation almost instantly, and was refined by him.
Then came the second, third, and so on.
In an instant, dozens of strange flowers and herbs were all refined and simultaneously thrown into the furnace, being rapidly purified.
This was the time requirement for refining a Nine Orifices Dragon Tiger Golden Core.
Missing the optimal timing would only make the process more difficult.
“Master, I can help you too!”
Tang Xiaobao’s voice fell.
Thud—
Thud thud—
An odd vibration seemed to come from his chest.
Li Mo watched closely.
He saw a faintly beating ‘heart’ in Tang Xiaobao’s chest.
Through the firelight, it was hard to see clearly, only noticing the pulsating golden light.
“It’s the critical moment.”
Li Mo judged based on his experience.
Yes, cooking experience.
It turned out he was right.
The various medicinal powers of the pills fusing together was indeed the most difficult and crucial moment.
This required Xue Jing to multitask, mastering the temperature, resistance, and characteristics of all materials and fusing them at the appropriate time.
He alone couldn’t complete it.
Fortunately, the ‘pill’ being refined inside the furnace was cooperating with him.
As the heartbeat grew stronger, large amounts of medicinal fluids also attached to Tang Xiaobao’s body, slowly merging in.
This made the divine light on his body even more intense.
Strong fragrance also burst forth.
“It’s Little Brother Xiaobao’s scent.”
Li Mo finally knew what filled the entire Danding Peak.
This fragrance made people feel younger.
Xue Jing’s eyes flashed with joy.
Who knows…
Li Mo held his breath.
Who knows?
Before he could finish the thought.
Boom—
The next second.
Tang Xiaobao’s body exploded fiercely, the fire completely out of control, visibly rising three feet off the ground before crashing back down.
The ground shattered, instantly caving in.
The lid of the furnace was blasted high into the sky by the immense pressure.
The furnace exploded.
“Little Brother Xiaobao?”
Li Mo’s heart skipped a beat.
With such a big commotion, and with Xiaobao right at the center of the explosion, wouldn’t anything happen to him?
Xue Jing was drenched in sweat, hurriedly using the realm to dispel the black smoke.
Whoosh~
A tiny figure, carrying some sparks, flew out and landed on the empty ground.
Tang Xiaobao’s eyes were tightly closed, his whole body black as if dug out from a coal pile.
“Xiaobao?!”
Xue Jing called out several times, but there was no response.
“Don’t panic, Elder Xue.”
Li Mo prepared to use the Heavenly Destiny Divine Eye first, then decide on what medicine to use for treatment.
But when the Heavenly Destiny Divine Eye opened, he was stunned.
“Hehe.”
Tang Xiaobao suddenly opened his eyes, grinning and showing a mouthful of white teeth:
“Scared you, huh? I was just pretending~”
Xue Jing: “…”
Li Mo: “…”
You really lack common sense.
Xiaobao, you need to grow up.
Xue Jing was originally very depressed, but after this incident, his depression dissipated somewhat, leaving him with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Without much emotion, he looked at Tang Xiaobao before sighing:
“We’ve already done our best this time, yet we failed.”
“Looks like Xiaobao can’t achieve perfection under my guidance. It’s a pity that my abilities are limited…”
Xue Jing sighed deeply, revealing his fatigue.
“There’s nothing we can do.”
Tang Xiaobao smacked his lips.
When observing the Spiritual Realm, he observed him.
Since he couldn’t do it, what else could be done?
“Cough.”
“How about we try again?”
At this moment, Li Mo, who had been thinking, suddenly spoke.
Huh?
Both master and disciple looked at him.
Xue Jing shook his head:
“I don’t have enough treasures left, Xiaobao needs all of these…”
Slap—
Slap slap slap—
Hundreds of boxes and bottles poured out of Li Mo’s sleeves, made of wood and jade, piling up like a small mountain.
He felt a bit embarrassed:
“Do you think any of these will be useful?”
“Rinsing Dark Grass… Seven-Hearted Flower… Earth Pulse Spirit Milk… Huh? Is it Ten Thousand Year’s?”
Tang Xiaobao knew what was inside without even opening them.
Xue Jing: “?”
He stood there in shock for a long time before taking a deep breath, speaking earnestly:
“Xiao Mo, we can’t do illegal things.”
Isn’t this like robbing a sect’s treasury?!
Well, it’s possible during the infiltration of Misty Rain Tower…
“You misunderstand me, you know me.”
Li Mo smiled shyly:
“With my amiable nature, how could I possibly take the path of crime?”
“These are just accidental finds.”
Xue Jing believed this explanation, stroking his beard but still shaking his head:
“Even with the materials, Xiao Mo and I could go another thousand or ten thousand times, but the result would likely be the same.”
“We’ve already given our all.”
Refining has probability fluctuations, but that’s within our capabilities.
“What if I join in?”
Li Mo tried cautiously.
“Join in?”
Xue Jing was genuinely puzzled.
“But Brother Li, although your Internal Breath is powerful, you don’t know how to refine.”
Tang Xiaobao was also confused.
Li Mo coughed lightly, seriously:
“I have a bold idea.”
“Why don’t Brother Xiaobao and I enter the furnace together?”
“At that point, my Internal Breath will merge with the Dragon Tiger Furnace, and Elder Xue can use it to extract impurities from the medicinal materials.”
“During the refining process, I can absorb the scattered medicinal power from Brother Xiaobao, preventing the furnace from exploding.”
Hmm.
Also, we can practice and increase our cultivation levels ourselves, he was worried about how to quickly refine the Golden Crow bl**d in his waist…
It’s a win-win!
Little Li felt he might actually be a genius!!
