In the central area of Stone Desert City, within the headquarters of the Elder Brother rcenary Group, in a courtyard, a tall young man stood in the middle. Before him, there was a crimson dicine cauldron with several giant snake patterns engraved on its body.
At this mont, a ping-pong ball-sized golden dicinal liquid floated in the center of the cauldron, surrounded by a pair of large hands ford by soul power, enveloping it.
The bronze-colored face of Liu Ling gradually reddened under the resistance of the dicinal liquid.
"I didn't expect the formation of a fifth-grade pill to be so much more difficult than a fourth-grade one," Liu Ling sighed inwardly. However, he also knew that if he could successfully refine this pill this ti, he would directly advance to the level of a fifth-grade alchemist.
The changes in Liu Ling's complexion were observed by the two maids and the leader of the Charm Snake Clan, Yuei, in the courtyard.
During the few days Yuei had been detained in this courtyard by Liu Ling, she had witnessed him refining four pills. In the previous four attempts, Liu Ling had successfully refined fourth-grade pills with ease. However, this ti, the fluctuations in Liu Ling's expression during the pill refinent were much more intense than before.
Observing Liu Ling's focused alchemy, Yuei secretly marveled, "He should be refining a fifth-grade pill this ti. To be able to attempt to advance to a fifth-grade alchemist at such a young age is even more impressive than the Alchemy King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire in his youth!"
After this thought crossed her mind, Yuei's gaze towards Liu Ling also beca sowhat unusual.
During the ti she had been captured, apart from having her cultivation sealed, she hadn't suffered any abuse. Although she occasionally faced Liu Ling's overt flirtation, Yuei could feel that the young man's clear eyes didn't harbor any vulgar intentions.
Then, when Yuei saw the dicine cauldron trembling violently, she unexpectedly felt a hint of worry in her heart, fearing that Liu Ling might fail in refining the pill.
...
"I refuse to believe I can't refine a fifth-grade pill!"
As soul power and the power contained within the dicinal liquid clashed, a thought flashed through Liu Ling's mind. Then, he took a deep breath of hot air, and his face instantly flushed red. Facing the cauldron with his right hand, he gradually opened his palm, then trembled as he slowly closed it again. With a low drink from his throat, he commanded, "Condense!"
As his voice fell, Liu Ling's palm suddenly tightened, and as his palm closed, the dicinal liquid the size of a ping-pong ball in the Scarlet Snake Cauldron trembled violently. Then, at a visible speed, the dicinal liquid rapidly shrank. In the blink of an eye, the liquid disappeared, replaced by the embryonic form of a thumb-sized golden pill.
With the pill ford, the most difficult step had been overco. Beads of cold sweat dripped from Liu Ling's forehead, and he took a few hurried breaths of air.
Excellent!
Seeing the embryonic form of the pill in Liu Ling's dicine cauldron, Yuei's tense mind suddenly relaxed, and then a smile inexplicably appeared on her face, making her look very charming.
Under Yuei's gaze, Liu Ling's palms emitted strands of purple flas, gradually releasing the hot temperature to bake the irregular-shaped embryonic pill.
Although the most critical step of condensing the pill had been completed, Liu Ling's mind dared not to slacken in the slightest.
Within the dicine cauldron, purple flas continued to surge upward, turning the interior of the cauldron into a furnace. anwhile, the irregularly shaped embryonic pill, under this baking, slowly beca rounder. Moreover, the gloss on its surface beca brighter and brighter. Looking from afar, it resembled a golden gem, emitting a dazzling light in the purple flas.
After the pill was condensed, Liu Ling proceeded perfectly with the subsequent steps of baking and refining. However, such ticulous operation made the cold sweat on Liu Ling's forehead more and more dense, and his face also showed a trace of paleness amid his rapid breathing. All these signs indicated that Liu Ling was approaching his limit.
Just at this mont, a graceful red figure suddenly flew out from the snake-human army stationed outside Stone Desert City and arrived in the sky above the city in just a blink of an eye.
Imdiately, a strong pressure shrouded the entire Stone Desert City. In an instant, everyone in the city felt a palpitation. At the sa ti, a golden figure appeared near the red figure as the imposing aura spread.
When Yuei, who was in Liu Ling's courtyard, sensed this familiar aura, she suddenly looked up at the sky.
"Your Majesty!"
"Great, Your Majesty has co to save !"
Seeing the red speck in the sky constantly colliding with the golden speck, Yuei's face lit up with joy.
The next mont, her gaze was fixed on Liu Ling in the center of the scene. At this mont, a violent energy was surging in the Scarlet Snake Cauldron in front of Liu Ling.
"At this critical mont, he's still focused on alchemy!" Yuei muttered to herself, a thought suddenly erging in her mind.
"He's in the midst of refining pills right now. If I intervene and disrupt him, he'll surely abandon his previous efforts, and he might even suffer backlash and severe injuries!"
However, after this thought erged in her mind, she shook her head vigorously.
"After all, setting aside the hatred between our races, this person isn't actually bad. Moreover, if it weren't for him detaining in this courtyard, with my current strength, I don't know what kind of torture I would have suffered!"
"Let's just spare you this ti. Consider it repaying you for this favor. In the future, we'll be even."
After making this decision in her heart, two figures swiftly flew towards the city from the sky outside Stone Desert City.
"We've sensed Yuei's aura. She's in that courtyard!"
Not long after entering the sky above Stone Desert City, the two Snake Clan leaders, Mobas and Kuixing, sensed Yuei's aura and began to accelerate towards the courtyard where Liu Ling was located.
"Boom!"
At the sa ti, there was a muffled sound from Liu Ling's Scarlet Snake Cauldron. Following that, Liu Ling's excited laughter echoed.
"Haha! Haha! I've finally broken through to beco a fifth-grade alchemist."
After saying this, Liu Ling's gaze suddenly froze. In his line of sight, two Snake Clan powerhouses with huge battle qi wings appeared not far away in the sky.
"Oh my god, two Dou King level experts!"
Seeing these two Snake Clan mbers, Liu Ling's heart skipped a beat.
During his alchemy just now, he had already sensed the presence of the dusa Queen of the Snake Clan. However, with Little Jin blocking the way, he had intended to persist in refining the pill. But now, he was about to face two Dou King level experts alone.
