[Gold Pill of Breaking Obstacles, a low-tier Seven-Grade Pill, possesses the terrifying medicinal effect of breaking seals, allowing rapid recovery of strength for those damaged by seals, and even stimulating potential to make one stronger than before being sealed.]
On the Dou Qi Continent, medicinal ingredients are countless. To formulate pills with different effects, one must carefully select from a myriad of materials.
If haphazardly put together, a destroyed cauldron and damaged pills are minor issues. If there's a backlash, that's a matter of life and death.
Back then, Yao Lao spent several years experimenting to research prescriptions effective for the Dou Qi stage.
Even a mere Two-Grade Prescription was so difficult, which indirectly reflects the difficulty for alchemists to develop new prescriptions.
Of course, this was greatly related to the unique effect of the prescription Yao Lao was researching.
Prescriptions targeting Dou Qi were simply too few on the entire Dou Qi Continent, far less famous than pills like Qi Gathering Powder, whose reputation resonated throughout the continent.
However, Xiao Yan, in less than half a day, developed a Seven-Grade Prescription.
Despite having two prescriptions to draw reference from, at such a high grade, even if Yao Lao wanted to combine them, it would probably take several years.
This shows the terrifying comprehension of Xiao Yan.
Landing in a particularly serene valley, Xun'er and the others, new to the place, were inevitably drawn to the valley's environment.
Especially the amethyst crystals standing tall in the valley, which were truly extraordinary.
Nalan Yanran now slowly woke up. Knowing that Xiao Yan was about to start refining pills, and that it was a Six-Grade Pill, she couldn't help but be greatly shocked.
One must know that in the entire Jia Ma Empire, only Elder Gu He, the Pill King of the Cloud Mist Sect, possessed the ability of a Six-Grade Alchemist.
And Pill King Gu He was already a middle-aged man; how old was Xiao Yan?
However, after being purified by the zither music, Nalan Yanran not only absorbed the medicinal power of the pills and had her strength enhanced, but her temperament also changed considerably.
Nalan Yanran leaned in her mentor's soft embrace, quietly watching Xiao Yan, her eyes filled with unconcealed admiration.
It seemed that every time they met, this person could always give her some startling new discovery.
Hai Bodong surveyed the surroundings and reminded, "Brother Xiao Yan, refining a Six-Grade Pill causes a significant commotion. Don't let it attract the attention of magical beasts."
Withdrawing her gaze from the distance, Xun'er said with a faint smile, "There are five Fifth-Tier magical beasts guarding outside this valley. I believe there aren't many magical beasts in this Magical Beast Mountain Range that are foolish enough to come here."
Hai Bodong then noticed this extraordinarily graceful young girl and let out a surprised "eh."
Although his Dou Qi strength was sealed, his soul perception had not decreased, yet he didn't expect to be inferior to a little girl.
He hadn't detected any of the magical beasts she mentioned.
Indeed, a genius is always surrounded by geniuses. The young girl was so young and seemed like a match made in heaven with Xiao Yan. Hai Bodong thought silently to himself.
Yun Yun also looked at Xun'er with surprise. The Four-Winged Wind Devil Wolf's ability to conceal its aura was extremely strong.
If her strength hadn't greatly increased and she hadn't known the habits of these Four-Winged Wind Devil Wolves earlier, she would probably have found it difficult to detect their hiding place.
Such terrifying soul perception... could she also be an alchemist? Yun Yun couldn't help but be shocked by the Xiao family's luck, as two peerless geniuses had appeared.
Xiao Yan twirled his Bone Spirit Ring, systematically taking out spirit-rich medicinal ingredients and placing them on the stone table.
"Elder Hai, since I chose this place for refining pills, it is naturally very safe."
Hai Bodong laughed heartily: "Since Brother Xiao Yan is so confident, I'll leave everything to you then."
Saying that, Hai Bodong took out the medicinal ingredients he had painstakingly collected.
Yun Yun's gaze fell upon the large pile of medicinal ingredients, and she couldn't help but gasp.
As a Sect Master, she understood the value of these materials better than Xun'er and the others.
These medicinal ingredients were rare items. Some of them, if placed in an auction house, could even fetch a high price of no less than five hundred thousand gold coins.
However, even so, they were valuable but rarely available on the market.
After all, anyone with a slight discerning eye wouldn't bring these rare herbs out for auction.
Because who knows, if they were to meet an alchemist who needed such medicinal ingredients someday, that would be an extremely satisfying transaction.
However, that would also come at a considerable price.
The Cloud Mist Sect cultivated Pill King Gu He, a Six-Grade Alchemist, and although they gained immense benefits, no one knew better than Yun Yun how much effort and resources were poured into it.
Alchemist is not only a noble profession, but to allow it to grow, it is also a money-burning profession.
As Gu He's alchemist rank grew higher, each failed attempt at refining could result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
After thoroughly inspecting all the medicinal ingredients, Xiao Yan took a deep breath. He had already refined many Six-Grade Pills.
Even the top-tier Breaking Sect Pill among Six-Grade Pills was abundant in his Bone Spirit Ring.
However, this was his first time with a Seven-Grade Pill.
Although there was only one grade difference between Six-Grade Pills and Seven-Grade Pills, the difficulty was vastly different.
The most recent example was Pill King Gu He, who had been a famous Six-Grade Alchemist for many years but had not broken through again to become a Seven-Grade Alchemist for a long time.
Of course, this was also somewhat related to the resources he could obtain.
However, at the Seven-Grade Alchemist level, even forces like the Burning Flame Valley would treat them courteously.
From this, one could also see the status of a Seven-Grade Alchemist.
After all, even in the Central Plains region, they were not common.
To perfectly refine the Gold Pill of Breaking Obstacles, Xiao Yan waved his hand and took out the Black Demonic Cauldron, ranked eighth on the Heaven Cauldron List.
As soon as the huge black medicinal cauldron appeared, a steady aura diffused from it, immediately causing Xue Ni, whose strength was slightly weaker, to retreat several steps.
Fortunately, Ruolin Mentor and Xiao Yu jointly stabilized her, but both of them also looked at the pitch-black medicinal cauldron with considerable astonishment.
"What a good cauldron!" Yun Yun, who was protecting Nalan Yanran, exclaimed in an uncharacteristic manner.
Nalan Yanran said in surprise, "Mentor, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Her mentor had always been calm, and even she, as her disciple, had only seen such a strong reaction a handful of times.
Hai Bodong's eyes were deep as he looked at the black medicinal cauldron. The cauldron's surface was adorned with vivid flame totems, looking almost real.
Being a member of the Mittel family, he had seen many good things, but this was his first time seeing such an extraordinary medicinal cauldron.
Yun Yun pondered, "To judge a medicinal cauldron, you look at its fire vents; the more fire vents, the higher the grade of the cauldron. The Cloud Mist Sect, with the combined effort of the entire sect, only managed to purchase a six-vent Sixth-Tier Medicinal Cauldron for Elder Gu He. You should check this medicinal cauldron's fire vents..."
Nalan Yanran looked at it and couldn't help but gasp.
"Ten... more than ten..."
