It's time!
Hao Ren's eyes blazed with a sharp light, his entire being focused to a high degree.
At this moment, the essence of the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass" had been refined. The next step was to add various "auxiliary materials."
Hao Ren waved his hand.
A surge of true essence power swept out.
Swish, swish, swish!
A large quantity of "rare medicinal herbs" flew towards the golden "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence."
Just then, a blood-red shadow darted out, blocking the "auxiliary materials."
Seeing this, Hao Ren was furious.
"Wangcai, what are you doing?"
Alchemy is all about grasping the right timing; a slight misstep can lead to complete failure.
Once the opportunity to add "auxiliary materials" was missed, this batch of "Nine Dragon Vein Pills" would be ruined.
Hao Ren glared at the blocking "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai," feeling like he could kill someone.
Just as he was about to erupt, he suddenly saw the "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai" extend its dragon claw, pointing at a specific spot within the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence."
At first, Hao Ren paid no mind, thinking the "little blood dragon" was just acting erratically.
Suddenly, Hao Ren's gaze sharpened; he had discovered something.
Whoosh!
Hao Ren poured his "Divine Sense Power" into his eyes, and to his astonishment, he discovered that within the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence," which appeared to be perfectly pure to the naked eye, there were countless tiny black dots.
Especially at the spot the "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai" was pointing to, a large concentration of these small black dots had gathered.
These tiny black dots, without a doubt, were impurities.
If these minuscule impurities were not refined, the medicinal properties of the Dragon Vein Grass essence would be impure and mixed, inevitably leading to alchemy failure.
Hao Ren dared not delay and immediately activated the "Ice Phoenix Spirit Fire" to continue refining.
Half an hour later.
Hao Ren sighed helplessly.
He found that no matter how the "Ice Phoenix Spirit Fire" refined, it could not achieve further purification, nor could it remove the tiny black dots from the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence."
This was the reason why for millions of years, no one had successfully refined the "Nine Dragon Vein Pill."
The purification was too difficult!
Spirit fires simply weren't of a high enough level for refinement.
It wasn't that Hao Ren's "Ice Phoenix Spirit Fire" was of poor quality, but rather that the refining requirements for the "Nine Dragon Vein Pill" were too abnormal, necessitating a divine fire that surpassed spirit fire.
Divine fire, that was not something that should exist in the mortal realm.
Sigh!
He was helpless.
Frustrated.
Give up!
Hao Ren waved his hand and recalled the "Ice Phoenix Spirit Fire."
He still had plenty of "True Essence Power," but unfortunately, continuing was pointless, a complete waste of time.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
As Hao Ren's "Ice Phoenix Spirit Fire" withdrew, a ball of purple-black flame shot forward.
The purple-black flame contained an endless, terrifying, and immense power.
It condensed and coiled, quickly transforming into a nine-petaled purple-black lotus.
The purple-black lotus enveloped the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence," spinning and swirling with a sky-burning flame.
This was... "Karma Fire"!
Sensing the terrifying power contained within the purple-black flame, Hao Ren's heart stirred.
He looked up at the "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai."
At that moment, the "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai" was soaring in the air, mimicking Hao Ren, its dragon claws constantly waving, controlling the "Karma Fire" to refine the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence."
The purple-black "Karma Fire" possessed extreme penetrative power, entering the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence" and continuously burning those tiny black dots.
Soon, a large number of the tiny black dots were refined.
The "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence" was being purified step by step towards a "perfect state."
Good son!
Hahaha...
Hao Ren was overjoyed.
As expected, from the very beginning, he felt that these two "stupid dogs," pfft, these two "little blood dragons," had potential.
Wangcai, Laifu, Dad is proud of you!
Dad is proud of you!
Certain individuals lavished praise on the two "little blood dragons."
He completely forgot that just a short while ago, he had been cursing the two "little blood dragons" as "stupid dogs."
His speed in changing his demeanor was truly a "model of a hidden cultivator"!
Half an hour later, the "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai" showed signs of fatigue.
The "Karma Fire" it was channeling had also weakened considerably.
Its "Dragon Power" was almost depleted.
Although the "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai" was gifted, it had only been born a few months ago, and its "Dragon Power" was insufficient to sustain such a massive expenditure.
"Jiang Ang!"
A dragon's roar.
The previously timid "Little Blood Dragon Laifu," who had always hidden behind Little Dragon Girl's shoulder, saw its elder brother struggling and immediately overcame its "social anxiety." It bravely flew forward.
The "Little Blood Dragon Laifu" took over the position of the "Little Blood Dragon Wangcai," continuing to spew "Karma Fire," refining and purifying the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence."
Another half hour passed.
Finally, the purification of the "Nine-Leaf Dragon Vein Grass Essence" was complete.
The two "little blood dragons" were utterly exhausted.
Hao Ren rewarded them with a pile of "Sage Dragon Tooth Rice," telling them to eat and recover well.
Once you recover, you can continue to be my "tool dragons."
Pfft!
Continue to be my "capable little helpers."
Heh heh heh...
Hao Ren was in an excellent mood, and he continued with the "alchemy."
The subsequent process was smooth sailing.
In less than two hours, Hao Ren completed the "alchemy."
Rumble!
With a deafening roar, the alchemy furnace exploded.
The entire mountain cave shook violently.
The cultivators gathered in the outer "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" were all stunned.
What happened? Were enemies attacking again?
No, no, no, it wasn't enemies!
Soon, someone came to a realization.
The sound resembled an "explosion of the furnace," suggesting that the senior had accidentally "exploded the furnace" during alchemy.
This statement immediately drew a barrage of criticism from the crowd.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"You're spouting rubbish!"
"The senior is wise and mighty, all-knowing and all-skilled. How could he possibly explode the furnace while refining pills? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
...
The speaking cultivator was also helpless. He was merely making a deduction based on the evidence and had no intention of "belittling" the senior!
What evidence!
We don't believe it!
The senior is the best!
Trying to reason with members of the "Dehua Divine Cult" is the most unreasonable thing!
Inside the mountain cave.
The alchemy chamber.
Han Mo
o(⊙﹏⊙)o
Kong Xiaoxian
o(⊙﹏⊙)o
Were utterly bewildered!
What just happened?
Did the furnace explode?
Could it be that their master's "alchemy" had failed?
That couldn't be right!
How could their master fail?
Han Mo and Kong Xiaoxian found it hard to believe.
Hao Ren
(￣ェ￣;)
Speechless! Depressed!
The feeling during the "alchemy" had been so good, right up until the very end.
How could it suddenly "explode the furnace" and fail?
Just as Hao Ren was feeling dejected.
He heard Peng Shiliu Niang's charming voice.
"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations! Your alchemy is a great success!"
Little Dragon Girl's voice also rang out at the same time.
"Master, you're so amazing, you succeeded!"
Hao Ren
(⊙＿⊙)?
What did that mean? I succeeded?
The furnace exploded, so how could it be a success?
Are Peng Shiliu Niang and Little Dragon Girl teasing me?
Hao Ren thought to himself, and then he looked up...
