Chapter 735: Refining the Holy Pill

It wasn’t just some of the disciples from the Dan Fighting who were asking for guidance. After a long, stunned silence, the onlookers also began to come forward one by one, asking about their own troubles with the Alchemy Dao.

Ye Wushuang addressed them one by one, pointing out their shortcomings and clearing up their doubts. Only then did they realize how laughable their previous narrow-mindedness had been.

Not only was Ye Wushuang’s strength terrifying, but his skill in the Alchemy Dao was also so far beyond them that they could only look on in awe. Their only option was to humbly ask for his tutelage.

’If he’s not considered an expert at this, then just how terrifying is he at what he *is* an expert at?’

Thinking about it, they all laughed inwardly at their own ignorance.

Off to the side, Sona was slightly taken aback. She had seen how it started but could never have imagined this would be the outcome.

This wasn’t Dan Fighting anymore; it was a lecture!

But then, a thought struck her, and she smiled again, overjoyed.

Wu Qianqian and Gao Yang were also astounded. This wasn’t the first time Ye Wushuang had shown his mastery of the Alchemy Dao, and every single time left them amazed.

"You..."

Zhao Yun watched the group, who had turned the Dan Fighting into a Q&A session, and grew annoyed.

However, he couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of his martial brothers and sisters, so he could only clutch a Pseudo-Saint Pill and stand awkwardly to the side.

"Zhao Yun, this is a great opportunity to improve yourself. Are you really going to let it pass you by?" Sona called out when she saw him just standing there.

Zhao Yun was a genius of the Tri-Element Guild. His skill in Alchemy was nearly on par with that of the Guild’s Elders, so he was held in high regard.

Hearing her voice, Zhao Yun scanned the crowd. Seeing everyone gaining insights and improving, he felt a knot of anxiety tighten in his chest.

But he had provoked, mocked, and even ridiculed Ye Wushuang earlier. He couldn’t bring himself to swallow his pride and ask for guidance now, so he could only continue to stand there in silence.

Elsewhere, the group of old men beside Dorne were all stunned, finding the scene before them incredible.

"This boy’s mastery of the Alchemy Dao is simply unimaginable. Even I can’t see through him."

"Indeed. Look at the pointers he’s giving those disciples. He’s noticing things even we’ve overlooked. It’s shameful, really, considering we’re their masters."

"A fine young man. I’ll have to go ask him for some pointers myself another day."

...

After a moment of aloofness, the group of Elders witnessed Ye Wushuang’s mastery of the Alchemy Dao and couldn’t help but feel admiration. Their earlier disdain was gone. Seeing each disciple benefit, their faces filled with delight.

When the disciples of the Tri-Element Guild improved, it was the Guild that grew stronger. How could they not be happy?

"With this kid participating in the Alchemy Dao competition next month, it’s bound to be a good show."

Dorne smiled as he watched Ye Wushuang.

"Does the Guild President intend for him to participate?"

The other Elders turned to look at him, puzzled.

"This kid should be able to handle it." Dorne didn’t answer directly, merely offering an enigmatic statement before clasping his hands behind his back and walking away.

The "Dan Fighting" continued, and midway through, Zhao Yun finally joined in. After receiving Ye Wushuang’s pointers, he too suddenly discovered many of his own mistakes.

Afterwards, he threw out a defiant, "I won’t give up on Sona," then turned and left. It seemed like a challenge, but everyone knew he was just saying it to save face.

The session didn’t end until the afternoon.

By the end, all the disciples of the Tri-Element Guild no longer felt any hostility toward Ye Wushuang, only respect. For someone to help them so much with their Alchemy Dao, they felt nothing but endless gratitude.

As the session concluded, they departed one by one, but not before giving a cupped-fist salute. As for the Dan Fighting, it was not mentioned again.

Watching the crowd leave, Ye Wushuang shook his head. He had said he’d give them a pointer or two, but he hadn’t expected it to take the entire afternoon.

It wasn’t until nearly dusk that Ye Wushuang, at Sona’s arrangement, was shown to a private pavilion.

Wu Qianqian and Gao Yang were also shown to their respective rooms to rest.

Ye Wushuang sat cross-legged on the bed, but he didn’t rest. Instead, he began to contemplate the Refinement of the Nine Spirit Heavenly Essence Pill.

After surveying the pavilion, he set up an Illusion Array in the room to prevent any disturbances.

Then, he took out the Holy Pill Furnace and placed it in the center of the room.

He unleashed several flames, including the Ultimate Yang True Fire and the Purple Emperor’s Heaven-Burning Flame, and used the Nine Flavors Fire Manipulation Technique to guide them into the Holy Pill Furnace.

Inside the Holy Pill Furnace, the Dao Charm was stimulated. It was so rich that even before the Alchemy began, a fragrant medicinal aroma started to spread through the air.

The Holy Pill Furnace was one of the Holy Dao Soldiers; it enhanced elixirs, and its Dao Charm could nurture them, providing immense help for the Solidifying Pill stage.

Ye Wushuang then took out all the prepared medicinal ingredients. He added hundreds of them one by one, refining them down to their essence. At the same time, he retrieved the Star Flower from the Life Star within his Chaos Space.

’Although the Star Flower hasn’t reached the Holy Medicine Level, its efficacy should be more than enough.’

Ye Wushuang thought to himself. Holy Pills were divided into nine grades, and the Nine Spirit Heavenly Essence Pill was a Fourth-Grade Holy Pill, which had extremely high requirements for its ingredients.

After the Star Flower merged into the Pill Furnace, he added the Nine Spirits Country and the Celestial Essence Emperor Heart Grass for Refinement.

In an instant, the room was overflowing with a medicinal fragrance that was both refreshing and uplifting.

Inside the Holy Pill Furnace, countless ingredients transformed into a golden medicinal fluid. The Dao Charm and Great Dao Marks within it were incredibly dense, resembling a supreme Divine Liquid.

Seeing that the time was right, Ye Wushuang began the Sealing Technique to start Solidifying the Pill. This was a special Alchemy method of the Elf Royal Family. It was incredibly Profound, but it also consumed an immense amount of Divine Soul power.

Even with Ye Wushuang’s powerful Divine Soul, he found it strenuous. Fortunately, the Solid Divine Pill he had previously refined helped to ease the strain considerably.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wushuang finally stopped.

Golden runes flickered within the Pill Furnace. Burned by the roaring flames, they shone with a brilliant light before merging one by one into the golden medicinal fluid.

’It’s almost done.’

Ye Wushuang stared with intense focus.

VMMMM!

Suddenly, at a precise moment, the flames inside the Holy Pill Furnace roiled and a brilliant golden light erupted. Pill clouds, thick with Dao Charm, billowed out.

Ye Wushuang knew this was the sign of a successfully formed pill!

BOOM!

With a wave of his sleeve, he effortlessly recalled the Exotic Fires.

At that moment, however, the Holy Pill Furnace began to tremble. With a loud RUMBLE, a torrent of golden light tore through Ye Wushuang’s Restriction, pierced the void, and shone with a blindingly brilliant radiance.

RUMBLE!

Outside, the evening Firmament was suddenly veiled by vibrant clouds. Divine Light bathed the land as Great Dao Marks continuously emerged. All sorts of phenomena manifested!

The Eye of the Firmament appeared soon after, gazing down upon Flame City below!

Within Flame City, countless experts gazed up at the sky in utter shock. ’The Eye of the Firmament has appeared... what could be happening?’

"This phenomenon... Someone must have refined a high-grade Holy Pill. At least Fourth Grade, if not higher."

Many who were familiar with such pill-related phenomena made this guess. They were deeply shaken. Ordinary Holy Pills contained Dao Charm, but high-grade Holy Pills contained traces of the Great Dao itself, making them exceedingly difficult to refine.

Even the few Peak Pill Masters in Flame City couldn’t guarantee success when refining a Fourth-Grade Holy Pill.

"Who could it be? To refine such a Holy Pill, one must have formidable skill in the Alchemy Dao. Could it be Dorne of the Tri-Element Guild?"

In the Xiao Family compound, Xiao Jiuxiao’s eyes narrowed. His gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced through the void and settled on the Tri-Element Guild.

Meanwhile, at the Tri-Element Guild, Dorne frowned, stepped out of his room, and in a flash appeared before the pavilion where Ye Wushuang was staying.

"The commotion is coming from inside... It couldn’t be the boy, could it?"

Dorne stared up at the pavilion, muttering to himself.
