Watching the petals of the two immortal herbs gradually melt into the spring water of matching attributes, Xiao Yan was not surprised that they released powerful energy fluctuations.
Eighty-one petals essentially contained the energy of a complete immortal herb. One hundred and sixty-two petals were therefore almost equivalent to two immortal herbs.
The energy contained within these two immortal herbs was already terrifying in itself, not to mention that the medicine cauldron also contained the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Eyes.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath as his spiritual power spread outward. While sensing the ice and fire attributes within the cauldron, he also guided it to move toward either the ice-attributed or fire-attributed spring of the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Eyes.
He used the energy of the springs to dissolve and offset the violent energy impacts inside the cauldron.
Xiao Yi, who was stabilizing the cauldron at the side, felt as though she were riding a roller coaster—constantly having to increase her inner strength, then reduce it again. It felt as if Xiao Yan were dragging her straight up into the clouds, drifting and soaring, unsure where she even was.
With one hand controlling the position of the cauldron, Xiao Yan's other hand continuously reached toward his storage jade belt, taking out prepared medicinal ingredients and tossing them into the cauldron.
Aside from a few that were intact, most were sliced materials—Snow Silkworm slices, Vermilion Lotus petals, parts of Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma…
Dugu Bo watched until his eyes nearly blurred. He couldn't help thinking that Xiao Yan wasn't afraid of bursting himself by using so many ingredients.
Although Xiao Yan added many herbs, he was by no means doing so randomly.
Each addition was made according to the degree of conflict between the two attribute energies in the cauldron, choosing herbs of suitable attributes to help the two medicinal liquids stabilize more quickly.
Under the tempering of ice and fire energies, the mass of red-and-blue liquid inside the cauldron spun rapidly, resembling a gigantic watermelon of bizarre coloration.
This strange liquid was the powerful medicinal essence containing the energies of two immortal herbs. The amount of energy within it was so vast it made one gasp in amazement.
If someone drank it now, even Xiao Yan himself would explode and die.
Under Xiao Yan's deliberate control, the ice-attribute energy suddenly intensified. A dense chill burst forth from the cauldron, and the surrounding temperature plummeted accordingly.
Dugu Bo shuddered. What's going on? Is it about to explode?
Xiao Yi softly exhaled a breath of warm air. On her shapely legs clad in purple-black stockings, a layer of white frost actually formed under the freezing aura.
Xiao Yan also breathed out a hot breath. "It's time to start adding more immortal herbs!"
Apart from a few extremely special ones, every immortal herb contained enormous energy. With proper combinations, they could rapidly increase strength.
Murmuring inwardly, Xiao Yan swiftly took out a piece of Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and tossed it into the cauldron.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower raised the surrounding temperature and contained a massive amount of fire-attribute energy.
With its addition, the energy inside the cauldron once again returned to a stable state, and the surrounding temperature quickly normalized.
After adding this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, there were no more medicinal ingredients with extreme special attributes. Xiao Yan then successively added Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone petals, the vines of Qiluo Tulip, petals of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and the stamens and petals of the Fiery Chrysanthemum.
With the addition of these many immortal herbs, the red-and-blue liquid inside the cauldron gradually became viscous. Strands of ice-and-fire energy condensed into tangible threads that quietly spread outward, each thread containing extremely formidable power.
Every time one of these energy threads struck the inner wall of the cauldron, a crisp metallic clang rang out.
Amid these chaotic impacts, even Xiao Yi's stabilized cauldron began to tremble slightly.
Dugu Bo stared in astonishment at the cauldron, where brilliant light flared and countless energy threads shot about wildly. He couldn't help smacking his lips.
The power of those energy threads—if a Titled Douluo were struck by them, they would likely be severely injured.
He had no idea what cultivation level this helper Xiao Yan had found possessed. To be able to stabilize the cauldron until now without showing any sign of collapse—such strength was frightening.
If he himself were using soul power to stabilize it, the first wave of impact would probably have caused the cauldron to explode instantly.
In truth, Xiao Yi was far from as relaxed as she appeared to Dugu Bo.
Even with the Xuantian Skill's ceaseless circulation restoring her inner strength, she had already consumed seventy percent of her reserves.
The middle stages were still manageable; the most critical point was before the red medicinal ingredient was added, when the cauldron's vibrations were especially violent, draining most of her inner strength.
And now, at this very moment, the continuous collisions of ice-and-fire energy threads against the cauldron demanded a massive amount of inner strength every second.
Fortunately, she possessed the Blue Silver rune patterns, so she wasn't afraid of completely exhausting her inner strength.
The violent rampage of these energy threads did not change Xiao Yan's expression. With so many immortal herbs fused together, plus the extraordinary spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Eyes, none of them ordinary, the sheer magnitude of energy meant that even if he succeeded, he would still need time to absorb it.
Controlling the cauldron as it circled back and forth above the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Eyes, Xiao Yan's condition was actually worse than Xiao Yi's.
His spiritual power was being consumed at an enormous rate—and this was something that could not be replenished.
Fortunately, the process had now reached its final stage.
With the addition of Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss petals and the fragrant pollen of the Qiluo Tulip Immortal Grade, Xiao Yan had added every immortal herb here except for the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.
As these final ingredients entered the cauldron, the energy within surged to an extreme. Gurgle, gurgle—countless tiny bubbles began to churn.
As the bubbles roiled, the liquid inside the cauldron grew even thicker, and under the compression of various energies, its volume continued to shrink.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and moved the cauldron to the very center of the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Eyes.
Now, it was time to wait for the medicinal power to fully merge.
Having pushed his control over medicinal properties to the absolute limit, Xiao Yan was brimming with confidence at this most crucial moment.
All that was needed now was time.
After a full day and night, the energies fused almost perfectly, and a red-and-blue intertwined pill floated at the center of the cauldron.
The instant the pill appeared, the surrounding天地元力 (heaven-and-earth vital energy) suddenly surged violently. The scene was like a massive stone being thrown into a calm lake, sending towering waves rolling outward.
This development caught even Xiao Yan by surprise.
Could it be that I refined an immortal pill? Such a huge commotion?
After absorbing enough天地元力, the originally irregular red-and-blue pill gradually became round and smooth. Brilliant radiance spread from it, making it look like a glassy, crystal-clear sphere.
With a sharp crack, after countless impacts, the medicine cauldron split into two halves. The formed pill trembled lightly and released an extreme burst of energy.
The Taiji diagram traced by Xiao Yi's slender fingers shattered instantly. Having expended enormous inner strength, she was forced back several steps in succession.
Her long, jade-like legs clad in purple-black stockings pressed closely together, yet even in retreat, she possessed a striking elegance.
Raising his hand, Xiao Yan pulled the pill into his grasp. His figure flashed, and in an instant he appeared behind Xiao Yi, gently hooking an arm around her slender, soft waist.
Her violet eyes blinked. Xiao Yi: "Was it successful?"
Glancing at the pill in his hand, which radiated both extreme cold and blazing heat, Xiao Yan nodded. "The Ice–Fire Glazed Pill is complete. All that remains is to take it."
