Xiao Yi Xian obediently sat cross-legged beside Jiang Cheng, staring intently at the activity inside the golden dragon phoenix cauldron.
Jiang Cheng's fingers moved slightly, and several other medicinal ingredients were thrown into the Cauldron. Not only that, but a fire-attributed magical beast core was also placed inside.
In the eyes of an amateur, this was clearly overdoing it, because the power contained in a magical beast core was extremely terrifying. If it touched the medicinal ingredients that hadn't yet turned into Spirit Liquid, it could very likely lead to the pill being destroyed and the person dying!
However, even an expert would be astonished, because only Alchemists of Grade 8 or higher would dare to do this. Even Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire wouldn't claim to have such a level of skill.
The magical beast core was slowly melted under the burning of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, fully fusing with the other Spirit Liquids, and simultaneously began to continuously writhe.
Time passed minute by minute.
Alchemy is an extremely lengthy process. Those with an unstable Heart-Nature would be unable to grasp its true mysteries and would not be able to refine a qualified Medicinal Pill.
Jiang Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he controlled the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame in his palm to repeatedly refine away the Impurities, thereby ensuring the Medicinal Pill reached the highest grade.
Because it was not a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill or higher, it didn't cause any celestial phenomena, but the rich medicinal fragrance it emitted still spread for hundreds of miles.
A man who was traveling suddenly stopped, turned his body to look in the direction of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and murmured, "Such a strong medicinal fragrance... Could it be that a high-grade Alchemist is refining Medicinal Pills in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"
Thinking of this, the man decided to go with the two Dou King experts behind him to investigate. He wanted to see who was refining pills in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Flames lit up the sky, and the medicinal fragrance permeated the air.
The Demonic Beasts outside Peach Forest Mountain were also stirring, but under the deterrent of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, these creatures could only smell the scent from a distance.
The final step of the Medicinal Pill was condensation.
Condensation was the most crucial step. A slight mistake could lead to the destruction of the medicinal ingredients in the Cauldron, so extreme caution was required in controlling the Strange Fire (Exotic Flame) and the proportion of Fighting Qi injected.
Of course, this was only limited to Alchemists below fifth-grade. High-grade Alchemists no longer needed to deliberately control the power generated during condensation.
Xiao Yi Xian was quite interested in Medicinal Pills and studied diligently, unlike the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King who was lazily lying on the ground.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King, frustrated, kicked it, thinking, 'This guy is really embarrassing me!'
"Pill complete."
As the lid of the golden dragon phoenix cauldron was opened, three Medicinal Pills shimmering with golden light floated steadily in mid-air.
Each Medicinal Pill was independent and emitted a peculiar medicinal fragrance. Just a sniff could bring a refreshing sense of comfort.
"Wow~"
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up. "Sir, are these sixth-grade pills?"
"Yes."
Jiang Cheng nodded, taking the three sixth-grade pills in his hand. "This Medicinal Pill is called the Divine Spirit Pill, high-grade sixth-grade. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it seventh-grade. Any expert who consumes it will have their foundational bones tempered. Although it won't allow you to Breakthrough your Realm, it will make your Cultivation process twice as effective."
"It can also be considered a forced enhancement of the Bloodline within your body."
This sixth-grade Divine Spirit Pill's Pill Formula was a reward from the System. It is said that the Divine Spirit Pill has never appeared on the Fighting Qi Continent. Although the medicinal ingredients for refining this Medicinal Pill are not rare, the failure rate is extremely high.
Even a Seventh-Rank Alchemist doesn't have a hundred percent certainty of successfully refining this sixth-grade Divine Spirit Pill. This is why there are so many precedents of Alchemists dying from destroyed pills in this world.
Jiang Cheng distributed the three to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, and Xiao Yi Xian. With the help of this Medicinal Pill, their Cultivation speed would greatly increase.
Thereby advancing earlier.
"Sir~"
Just then, a familiar voice sounded behind Jiang Cheng, and everyone's gaze shifted to the newcomer.
Jiang Cheng's face showed a hint of ease. "Lady, you've arrived."
Indeed, the person who arrived was Yun Yun, Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect.
Yun Yun was quite angry upon learning that her master had driven the Sir out of the Cloud Mist Sect, and it was her first time getting angry with her master.
In a fit of pique, she also left the Cloud Mist Sect, entrusting all Sect matters to Grand Elder Yun Ling, while she rushed to Peach Forest Mountain without stopping.
Yun Yun said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sir. My master didn't mean it; he thought you were a strong expert from the continent, that's why..."
Jiang Cheng smiled. "It's alright, I don't care."
"Besides, those people from the Cloud Mist Sect are not familiar with me, so why would I be angry with them?"
Jiang Cheng walked up to Yun Yun, and looking at her shy demeanor, a different emotion arose within him.
Yun Yun bit her lower lip lightly. "Sir, I'm sorry, it's me..."
"Relax, you are you, and the Cloud Mist Sect is the Cloud Mist Sect. This fault cannot be placed on you."
Jiang Cheng extended his right hand and gently ruffled Yun Yun's head. "Since you have left the Cloud Mist Sect, you can stay on Peach Forest Mountain for these days. Cultivating here will yield twice the results with half the effort."
Peach Forest Mountain, this paradise, is rich in Fighting Qi. Cultivating here is several times more effective than outside, and it is also the place with the most concentrated Fighting Qi in the eastern mountain range.
Jiang Cheng had to fight a Demonic Beast for three hundred rounds to snatch this place when he chose it.
Yun Yun's pretty face flushed slightly, and she nodded in agreement. She would return to the Cloud Mist Sect when her master's anger subsided.
As for Yanran, with several Elders of the Sect cultivating her, there would be no slackening in her cultivation. Those old fellows were much stricter than herself, and they paid more attention to the Cloud Mist Sect's reputation, so they naturally wouldn't allow Nalan Yanran to lose the Three-Year Agreement.
"Sir, you can do Alchemy?"
At this moment, Yun Yun also noticed the golden Cauldron still gently burning, and asked curiously.
"I understand a bit."
Jiang Cheng casually put away the Cauldron, turned around, and made a gesture of invitation, then arranged for Xiao Yi Xian to brew a pot of hot tea.
Yun Yun nodded and gracefully sat on a chair. "Sir, may I ask what grade Alchemist you are?"
Jiang Cheng picked up the teacup and smiled, not answering Yun Yun's question. While Alchemists didn't necessarily hide their grade, Jiang Cheng didn't plan to publicly disclose his identity as a Grade 8 Alchemist.
However, if the opportunity arose in the future, he would definitely show off.
"Regardless of the grade, Lady, there's no need to ask too much. I am just a traveler roaming the world. I won't be on Peach Forest Mountain for long this trip; perhaps in a few days, I will leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"Sir is leaving?" Yun Yun quickly stood up, her green embroidered robe fluttering in the wind. "Where are you planning to go, Sir?"
"Making the four seas home, and the world a guest."
Jiang Cheng clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the green mountains and clear waters. "Yun'er, if you don't mind, you can travel and Cultivate with me to witness the warmth and coldness of the world."
