Shun Long closed his eyes and sent his soul sense inside his herb garden, before dozens of dicinal herbs appeared in front of him one after the other.
Even the lowest-ranked of them was actually a rank 5 dicinal herb, while a handful of them were actually rank 6 herbs.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen and the others all remained silent as they looked at Shun Long.
Aside from Liu i, this was the first ti for Jiang Chen, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian, see Shun Long personally refine pills.
The look on Shun Long's face was extrely solemn as he turned his attention towards the dicinal herbs that were scattered around him.
With the assistance of the orange earth fla, it only took a few minutes for the bronze cauldron to be fully heated and be ready to refine pills, but Shun Long knew that refining the 'five-elents awakening pill' wasn't going to be easy at all.
Taking a deep breath, Shun Long then circulated the qi inside his qi balls, causing his eyes to turn golden, before the invisible figure of an hourglass expanded from his body, completely enveloping the entire room.
57 silver-colored balls of qi were floating above his head, but aside from Shun Long, neither Jiang Chen nor the other could see them.
Extending his hand, Shun Long grabbed a handful of rank 5 dicinal herbs and threw them all inside the cauldron.
The mont that they entered the cauldron, under the terrifying heat of the orange-colored earth fla, the rank 5 dicinal herbs were instantly turned into a puddle of dicinal essence, before Shun Long threw in another bunch barely a second later.
An incense stick of ti had passed before all rank 5 dicinal herbs turned into a puddle of colorful dicinal essence that swirled inside the bronze cauldron.
At that mont, as Shun Long used his soul sense to split the dicinal essence into 4 parts, his golden eyes suddenly turned extrely serious, as Shun Long suddenly threw in 4 rank 6 dicinal herbs inside the cauldron, all at the sa ti.
Among these dicinal herbs was also a single rank 6 'white petal flower', looking nearly identical to the flower that Shun Long had traded to Wan Zu for the stalk of 'five-elents grass'.
The only difference was, that the petals of this flower seed to be slightly bigger than those of the flower that Shun Long had given to Wan Zu.
Of course, although this difference seed to be negligible, an expert alchemist who knew enough about this 'white petal flower' would imdiately understand that this was already a rank 6 'white petal flower' that had matured for more than 5000 years, while the 'white petal flower' that Shun Long had exchanged with Wan Zu was only a 3000-year-old 'white petal flower'.
Staring at the rank 6 'white petal flower' that was slowly turning into a white-colored liquid, but was clearly much harder to refine compared to the rank 5 dicinal herbs, Shun Long mumbled to himself in his heart
''Although a single 'white petal flower' is enough to refine 4 rank 6 'five-elents awakening pills', unless both the 'white petal flower' and the 'five-elents grass' have matured for more than 5000 years, it's impossible for the quality of the 'five-elents awakening pill' to reach the high-grade, let alone the top-grade.''
As he stared at the 'white petal flower' inside his cauldron, Shun Long lanted on how tough it was to refine this.
The older a dicinal herb was, the more difficult it would be to refine it into dicinal essence.
As for this 5000-year-old 'white petal flower' that he had grown inside his herb garden, Shun Long knew that without the assistance of the earth fla, it would be impossible for him to refine it fully by himself.
Even though his spiritual strength was almost at the level of a peak Dao King right now and he was qualified to be considered a peak rank 3 gold grade alchemist, Shun Long knew that even with his extrely pure qi, his qi flas wouldn't be strong enough to fully refine a rank 6 dicinal herb without the assistance of an earth fla.
It wasn't just him.
Shun Long knew that even powerful Dao Kings, and even peak Dao Kings who had reached the peak rank 3 gold grade as alchemists, wouldn't be able to fully refine rank 6 dicinal herbs by themselves either.
Although they could refine a small part of the herbs, Shun Long knew that those peak Dao Kings would usually cause 70 percent of the dicinal essence to be wasted.
Shun Long's spiritual strength surged, causing the power of the earth fla coming from the Refinent Hall to reach the limits of what he could use, before the 'white petal flower' was fully refined into essence, turning into a mix of colorful white and green dicinal essence that was mixed into the puddle of dicinal essence inside the bronze cauldron.
And yet, at that mont, Shun Long could feel his soul sense shudder as a wave of pain suddenly filled his head.
''Monarch's Domain!''
Shun Long's golden eyes had turned red from the pain, but he still called out furiously as he activated his 'Monarch's Domain', causing the flow of ti around him to forcefully stop.
Shun Long knew that this wave of pain was caused because he tried to refine the essence of 4 rank 6 dicinal herbs simultaneously. However, Shun Long knew that if he didn't refine the essence of the 'white petal flower' and the other 3 rank 6 herbs at the sa ti before he fused them together, the chances of creating even a single top-grade 'five-elents awakening pill' would be almost 0.
This was because, a small part of the essence of each one of those 4 herbs would naturally be dispersed, unless Shun Long refined them all together at the sa ti.
At that mont, as he activated his 'Monarch's Domain', Shun Long didn't hold back at all, causing the flow of ti around Bai Longtian and the rest to be stopped as well.
Even Jiang Chen and Liu i who had reached the peak of rank 7 in the Nascent Soul couldn't muster an inch of resistance in front of Shun Long's 'Monarch's Domain', as the flow of ti around their bodies was forcefully halted.
At this point, Shun Long had failed to notice this detail, as his attention was fully focused on the bronze cauldron in front of him.
The pain from forcefully refining 4 rank 6 dicinal herbs at the sa ti was still assaulting his senses, and yet Shun Long knew that he couldn't lose his focus.
Refining a peak rank 6 pill, especially a pill like the 'five-elents awakening pill' that even star-rank alchemists only had a 40 percent chance to successfully concoct, was truly extrely difficult.
Extending his right hand, Shun Long grabbed the stalk of a five-colored grass that he had placed right next to him, and without any hesitation, he tossed it right inside the bronze cauldron.
