If the process was successful, the pills would take shape, signifying a true success. If it failed, the pills would not congeal and would simply be incinerated. This is the most crucial step; I can't afford a single mistake!
Zhao Dong took a deep breath, his concentration absolute as he silently controlled the intensity of the flames and Spiritual Energy.
Soon, his pupils contracted. Success!
One, two… The white pills in the cauldron slowly took shape as three pills gently began to coalesce.
The first one formed!
The second one formed!
Just as Zhao Dong's excitement was peaking, CRACK! The third Heavenly Yuan Pill shattered and was instantly incinerated.
Zhao Dong felt a pang of disappointment. A whole pill wasted.
