After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes.
"This Tian Class Soul Skill is truly extraordinary."
At this point, he had fully mastered this soul skill, just as the figure in the space had said. This technique created a virtual world with the power of the soul, and as long as the opponent's soul was not stronger than the user's, they were almost certainly doomed.
However, while the power of this soul skill was immense, the amount of soul power it consumed when used was difficult to estimate.
After briefly recalling the details, Xiao Ming cleared his mind.
He then began to cultivate.
...
The next morning, as the sun began to rise, Xiao Ming's aura surged suddenly, then returned to a calm state after a moment.
Opening his eyes, he marveled at the power brought about by his breakthrough.
"The Dou God Bloodline is truly extraordinary. Compared to it, my previous cultivation speed can't be called slow, but it's nowhere near as fast," Xiao Ming reflected, sighing with amazement as he rose from the bed and decided to visit his partner.
Upon reaching her door, he knocked gently.
Creak!
The door opened, revealing Xiao Yi Xian's graceful figure. Today, she wore a stunning purple gown, and her long, flowing purple hair cascaded down her slender waist. A gentle smile lit up her face upon seeing him.
"Xian'er." Xiao Ming also smiled and suddenly pulled her into his embrace, his strong arms encircling her small waist.
"Mh!" Caught off guard by his sudden embrace, she let out a soft, surprised moan, her beautiful green eyes blinking up at him.
Noticing her silent inquiry, Xiao Ming let out a soft chuckle. "It's just that my Xian'er looks so enchanting and irresistible that I couldn't help myself."
"Hmph… Mr. Flatterer," she responded with feigned annoyance. Yet, her face betrayed her true emotions as she buried it in his chest while hugging him tightly, inhaling his familiar scent.
Whether he was affectionate or domineering, she adored every aspect of him!
After sharing sweet words and enjoying each other's embrace, Xiao Ming gently asked, "Have you been able to refine the Revitalizing Pill that I taught you?"
"I finally managed it with Sister Ying'er's help. However, the success rate is still a bit low, especially during the fusion stage. It's less than half that of a normal alchemist," Xiao Yi Xian looked up at him and wrinkled her delicate nose, her expression showing some frustration.
"Don't be disheartened. That's already pretty good progress," Xiao Ming reassured her, tenderly caressing her cheek, feeling the warmth and smoothness like warm jade, making it hard to let go.
"Today, I will refine a high-grade seventh-tier pill. Be sure to pay close attention. It will undoubtedly help improve your alchemy skills."
"Mhmm," she nodded obediently, while her lips moved to his neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses.
Seeing his partner so affectionate, Xiao Ming's heart stirred. His hands moved from her small waist to her supple butt as he lowered his face to hers, capturing her lips.
"Mmm..."
They parted reluctantly after exchanging a long and deep kiss, wiping the silver threads from the corners of their mouths as they sensed two familiar auras approaching.
At the same time, Qing Lin and Venerable Tian Huo emerged from their rooms.
"Young Master!"
Qing Lin's eyes lit up upon spotting Xiao Ming, and with an excited grin, she hurried to his side.
"Young Master, Sister Xian'er, good morning!"
"Qing Lin, Senior Yao, good morning."
Xiao Ming greeted, gently taking the lovely green figure rushing towards him by the waist and planting a small kiss on her soft lips, causing Qing Lin to close her eyes in satisfaction.
What could Xiao Ming possibly say? His two partners were both so sweet and adorable!
Observing the scene, Venerable Tian Huo stroked his beard, a touch of emotion in his eyes. He couldn't help but think that perhaps it was never too late to look for a mate. Then he told Xiao Ming that Tang Zhen had come earlier to look for him.
Xiao Ming nodded and, with everyone present, they went straight to find Tang Zhen.
"Valley Master Tang, are the medicinal ingredients ready?"
"They're all prepared. Here are the recipe and medicinal ingredients." In response to Xiao Ming's inquiry, Tang Zhen didn't waste any words and took out a storage ring.
Xiao Ming took the storage ring and, with a flash in his hand, took out a scroll. With the power of his soul rushing out from his forehead, he immersed himself in reading the complete method, precautions, and other information on how to refine the Fire Bodhisattva Pill.
In just a few minutes, all the information about the Fire Bodhisattva Pill was imprinted deep into his soul. He wouldn't be able to forget it even if he wanted to.
After finishing, he stored the scroll away. With his current soul power, Xiao Ming had no trouble comprehending a high-grade seventh-tier pill recipe.
"Elder Xiao Ming, our Burning Flame Valley has the Mountain Melting Cauldron. How about using it for the refinement?" When Xiao Ming opened his eyes, Tang Zhen quickly smiled and asked.
"The Mountain Melting Cauldron? That's a medicinal cauldron listed on the 'Heavenly Cauldron Ranking.' I didn't expect it to be in your possession, Valley Master Tang. It truly arouses envy."
"It was just good fortune." Tang Zhen modestly smiled. In fact, he had a fascination with alchemy, so he was quite proud to possess the Mountain Melting Cauldron. He just didn't want to show it off.
Xiao Ming smiled faintly and said, "Since that's the case, let me witness the extraordinary features of this Mountain Melting Cauldron."
Although Xiao Ming already had the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and the Deep Sea Spirit, as a qualified alchemist, he maintained his curiosity about other Heavenly Cauldrons.
"Please lead the way to a spacious place for me to refine the pill."
"Alright, please follow me."
...
In a vast valley, lush greenery was adorned with occasional fiery red maple trees, creating a visually pleasing sight.
At the center of the valley stood a spacious square constructed from reddish volcanic rocks. In the middle of the square, there was a stone platform about ten meters high. Surrounding the square, numerous figures could be seen, most of them dressed in red robes, clearly disciples of the Burning Flame Valley.
On the other side of the square, there was a slightly towering platform that provided a perfect view of the entire square. At this moment, the platform was occupied by several figures wearing alchemist robes.
These were the alchemists of the Burning Flame Valley who had hurried over upon hearing that a master alchemist would be refining pills. Their eyes were filled with anticipation, admiration, and excitement...
In front of Xiao Ming was an enormous medicinal cauldron that was about several meters in height. The cauldron was entirely red, and its rounded walls were adorned with volcanic eruption-like patterns. At first glance, a ferocious aura immediately struck one's face.
'The Mountain Melting Cauldon, truly deserving of its reputation on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking.'
With a sense of awe in his heart, Xiao Ming waved his sleeve, and countless medicinal ingredients flew out from his storage ring, hovering in the air above the stone platform. Judging by the quantity, there were at least a hundred different types of ingredients.
Opening his mouth, he exhaled a pale white flame, which flew into the cauldron and split into more than a dozen flames.
Seeing Xiao Ming's technique, Tang Zhen was momentarily stunned, and then his pupils contracted. The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame within him trembled slightly.
'This is Xiao Ming's Heavenly Flame? It's so powerful that it could rank within the top six on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.'
'And he intends to multitask with over a dozen flames to speed up the pill refinement?'
Other alchemists also noticed Xiao Ming's intention. The highest-ranked sixth-tier alchemist's mouth twitched, and their eyes were filled with disbelief. Achieving dual tasks simultaneously was already their limit, and not everyone could achieve even that.
'Could this be the ability of a Master Alchemist?!'
Ignoring the surrounding gazes, Xiao Ming began the refinement process. One by one, the essence of the medicinal ingredients was extracted, and each step of the refinement process was perfect. The alchemists around him were captivated, completely forgetting to be astonished.
As the sun set and the moon rose, three days later...
The energy of the entire square fluctuated almost instantaneously, and within the cauldron, a rich medicinal fragrance slowly spread.
Within the Burning Flame Valley, a sudden change occurred. Layer after layer of dark clouds appeared in an instant above the square, thunder rumbled, and silver serpents danced wildly, creating a magnificent spectacle.
'It's done!'
Startled by the thunder, the bloodshot eyes of the alchemists turned towards the sky.
Tang Zhen also watched the dark clouds and his eyes flickered with excitement. Although he knew that Xiao Ming's success was inevitable, he couldn't suppress his joy at this moment.
After all, it was the hope of his daughter's survival.
After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes.
