"You must succeed…"
Tang Huo'er watched the figure on the stage, her slender hands clasped together, her beautiful eyes filled with tension.
At this moment, Xiao Li was their last hope.
Whether the fire bodhi pill could be successfully refined depended on him!
Xiao Li himself was not flustered.
With his Heavenly Realm soul, he skillfully merged the two masses of medicinal liquid in the medicine cauldron.
During this process, the two masses of medicinal liquid also erupted with immense Impact strength, but Xiao Li resolved them one by one.
As time passed, everything proceeded smoothly.
The medicinal liquid in the medicine cauldron finally merged successfully, gradually forming the prototype of a pill.
Tang Zhen was inwardly surprised when he saw this.
He knew this was a sign of the pill forming.
Xiao Li had actually managed to reach this stage all by himself!
A rich, colored pill fragrance began to emanate from the medicine cauldron, its aroma wafting everywhere.
Rumble—!
Just then, thunder rumbled in the sky, lightning tearing across the firmament.
Pill lightning!
As long as the pill lightning was successfully blocked, the fire bodhi pill would be complete!
"Young Master Xiao, you… you focus on refining the pill, I will help you block this pill lightning," Valley Master Tang immediately said.
"No need, this small pill lightning can't do anything to me."
After speaking, Xiao Li maintained the pill in the medicine cauldron with his soul power while summoning the purple heaven divine thunder spear.
This was the first time he had refined a pill that could summon heavenly lightning, so at such an important moment, he naturally wanted to do it himself.
Seeing that Xiao Li actually intended to refine the pill and resist the heavenly lightning at the same time, Tang Zhen was shocked.
"Young Master Xiao, this pill lightning is no small matter, and you still need to divide your attention to refining the pill. What if…?"
If anything went wrong at this final juncture, all their efforts would be in vain!
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
With that, Xiao Li's thought moved, and the purple heaven divine thunder spear immediately transformed into a purple lightning bolt, fiercely colliding with the pill lightning in the sky.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, brilliant lightning filling the entire sky, illuminating Xiao Li's figure with dazzling light.
A moment later, the heavenly lightning was completely disintegrated by the purple heaven divine thunder spear!
The smoke and clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to clarity.
The others watched, dumbfounded.
Xiao Li actually resolved the pill lightning so easily??
Not only was his alchemy powerful, but his strength was also so formidable!
Tang Huo'er looked at that figure, now seemingly bathed in light, her heart stirring… Finally, Xiao Li successfully completed the last step, and a pill, shimmering with red and green, slowly rotated, its rich medicinal fragrance refreshing.
The fire bodhi pill was complete!
Xiao Li lifted the lid of the medicine cauldron, and the fire bodhi pill, possessing a hint of spirituality, tried to escape.
Naturally, he firmly grasped it with a hand from a distance, then flicked it towards Tang Zhen.
"Valley Master Tang, the fire bodhi pill is ready."
Tang Zhen caught the fire bodhi pill, his excitement and joy turning into irrepressible delight, and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, thank you, Young Master Xiao, I will remember this kindness."
Tang Huo'er also came to Xiao Li's side, her beautiful eyes shimmering with colorful light, and she softly said: "Thank you, Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Li waved his hand: "You're welcome."
Master Huan, who had been injured earlier, also walked over, his face full of admiration: "I never imagined Young Master Xiao's alchemy had reached such a level. I am impressed."
What can truly win over an Alchemist is only alchemy itself.
Xiao Li's ability to complete the final, most difficult, and most crucial steps all by himself meant his alchemy far surpassed Master Huan's.
"It's also thanks to Master's earlier help that I could complete the later steps. Master also played an indispensable role," Xiao Li said with a hint of modesty.
After all, the world isn't just about fighting; it's about human relationships.
Master Huan was clearly pleased by this remark, a smile gracing his face.
"Both of you have worked hard. Please go and rest well," Valley Master Tang said.
Xiao Li shook his head: "I'm fine. Valley Master Tang, you can give the fire bodhi pill to Miss Huo'er now. I also want to see if this pill has an effect."
Since he had refined it himself, Xiao Li was quite eager to see the fire bodhi pill's effect.
"Alright, with Young Master Xiao here, we can also react to anything."
Tang Zhen did not refuse.
In fact, he was also very eager to have Tang Huo'er take the fire bodhi pill now.
This was Tang Huo'er's life-saving medicine!
Subsequently, Tang Zhen had someone take the injured Master Huan to rest, and then the three of them walked towards a room… Inside the room.
"Huo'er, take this fire bodhi pill."
Tang Zhen handed the fire bodhi pill to Tang Huo'er.
Tang Huo'er nodded and took the fire bodhi pill.
As soon as the pill entered her body, it immediately released a pure medicinal power.
Tang Huo'er quickly sat cross-legged, circulating her energy to digest the medicinal power within her body.
As the medicinal power slowly took effect, strands of fire poison, fiery red with hints of silver, were forced out of her body.
This was the branding poison of the Nine Dragon Lightning Seal Fire, exceptionally fierce. Even as it was being forced out by the fire bodhi pill, Tang Huo'er's brows were tightly furrowed, and her face showed pain during this process.
Suddenly, she couldn't help but violently spit out a large mouthful of poisonous blood, her pretty face instantly turning pale.
"Huo'er!"
Tang Zhen was startled, and quickly supported the swaying Tang Huo'er, probing a wisp of his soul power into Tang Huo'er's body, only to find that her internal condition was very bad.
"How could this be… Why can't the fire bodhi pill force out the fire poison?"
Most of the fire poison in Tang Huo'er's body had already been forced out.
But a portion of the deepest hidden poison, not only wasn't forced out, but instead penetrated deeper into her meridians and bones.
Once the fire poison invaded the bone marrow, even immortals couldn't save her!
Tang Huo'er's face was pale, revealing a tragic smile, and she weakly said: "Father, perhaps this is my fate… We tried our best, so I have no regrets."
"No, it won't be, I will definitely save you!"
"Valley Master Tang, perhaps you can let me try." At this moment, Xiao Li, who was at the side, suddenly said.
"Young Master Xiao has a way?" Tang Zhen looked up at him in surprise.
"I can try, but I can't guarantee success."
"Good, as long as Young Master Xiao can save my daughter, I, Tang Zhen, will be eternally grateful and willing to repay Young Master Xiao's kindness with everything I have!" Tang Zhen had no hope left now and could only place his trust in Xiao Li.
"Valley Master Tang, please go out and guard the door. Don't let anyone disturb me."
"Alright!"
Tang Zhen obediently went out.
And Xiao Li supported Tang Huo'er.
"Young Master Xiao has a way?" Tang Huo'er weakly looked at the young man in front of her, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart amidst her despair.
"There's a chance, but no guarantee."
Xiao Li probed a wisp of his soul power into Tang Huo'er's body, carefully observing her internal condition.
Fire poison entering the bones… This situation was quite similar to Nalan Jie when he was invaded by the branding poison.
However, what invaded Tang Huo'er was the branding poison of the Nine Dragon Lightning Seal Fire, which was countless times fiercer than the branding poison.
But the treatment method was similar: just use an exotic flame to purify the fire poison.
However, there was also great difficulty in this.
The Nine Dragon Lightning Seal Fire is the twelfth-ranked exotic flame. To purify its branding poison, at least an exotic flame stronger than the Nine Dragon Lightning Seal Fire is needed.
Although Xiao Li now possessed multiple exotic flames within his body, none of them were stronger than the Nine Dragon Lightning Seal Fire.
However, if one alone couldn't compare, then combining multiple exotic flames might be a different story…
