Yun Li still had some affairs to attend to in the Pill Academy, so she left the pavilion after only a few casual words.

In this way, only Qin Xin and Ling Hanyan remained inside the pavilion.

Qin Xin was also curious about Ling Hanyan. Generally, alchemists would find some apprentices to assist them in making pill refining easier and more convenient, but there was no one else in this pavilion.

Although Qin Xin was somewhat curious, he did not ask any questions.

"I haven't had a chance to properly thank you for removing the elixir energy before."

Ling Hanyan also mentioned that she had previously failed to refine a seventh-grade pill and was corroded by the pill's energy. If it weren't for Qin Xin's help, she would have either suffered a qi deviation or even died. She was very grateful to him.

Qin Xin waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. After all, we are from the same sect, so it is only right to lend a helping hand."

Ling Hanyan smiled slightly at Qin Xin, and then began to explain some of the rules of the Pill Academy.

"Now that you've just joined the Pill Academy, you don't know much about many things. When martial artists seek someone to refine pills, they usually look at the other person's reputation. The more famous the alchemist, the higher the fee they will pay for refining a single pill. However, the pills they refine will be more expensive for the same grade, but of course, their potency will also be guaranteed."

"You are currently unknown in this Pill Academy, so for the time being, you will use my name to refine pills."

Ling Hanyan spoke calmly, but it put some pressure on Qin Xin. After all, if the pill refining failed, it might affect Ling Hanyan's reputation, and might even cause no more martial artists to seek her out to refine pills.

"This..." Qin Xin hesitated, after all, this was no small matter.

Ling Hanyan waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just treat it as practice. Even if it fails, I can just try it again."

"However, you must be careful not to waste too many elixirs."

After Ling Hanyan finished speaking, she pointed to a spot next to Qin Xin, indicating that he should refine pills there, and gave him some Five Elements Condensing True Pills and Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills.

Qin Xin glanced at it and found that there were twenty portions of ingredients for refining the Five Elements Condensing True Pill and ten portions of ingredients for refining the Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill.

Qin Xin naturally had enough confidence in his ability to refine pills.

Seeing that Ling Hanyan had already sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes to rest, and prepared to refine pills.

Qin Xin naturally sat down to the side, and with a light tap of his finger, the Grade Three Pill Furnace, the Blazing Fire Black Iron Furnace, appeared in the room.

Ling Hanyan also slightly opened her eyes, but after seeing the Grade 3 alchemy furnace in front of Qin Xin, she slowly closed them again.

Qin Xin had refined these two kinds of pills countless times, so he was naturally very skilled at it. He didn't bother with any mental preparation before refining the pills; instead, he directly mobilized his martial spirit.

The cyan Qingyan Fire seed was activated immediately, and after Qin Xin lightly touched it, it fell directly into the alchemy furnace.

The sudden intense heat emanating from the alchemy furnace surprised Ling Hanyan, who had kept her eyes closed, causing her to look over with slight astonishment.

"This flame? Could it be a strange fire!"

Ling Hanyan murmured in the air, and after looking at Qin Xin again, a strange look flashed in her eyes, "Could it be that this guy has been hiding his strength all along?"

As an alchemist, Ling Hanyan naturally knew the effects of this strange fire. Generally speaking, an alchemist who possesses a strange fire can refine pills several times more effectively than an alchemist of the same level, provided they can master it.

Along with the surprise at Qin Xin possessing a strange fire, what happened next left Ling Hanyan utterly astonished.

Qin Xin threw all the ingredients for the Five Elements Condensing True Pill into the alchemy furnace at once, which looked like a joke to outsiders.

After all, different spiritual herbs have very different fire resistance and impurities, which requires alchemists to constantly control the temperature of the flame in order to better purify the spiritual herbs.

However, this was the first time Ling Hanyan had ever seen Qin Xin do something like this, and she even had some doubts in her heart about whether Qin Xin actually knew how to refine pills.

However, after all the medicinal herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace, the furnace explosion that Ling Hanyan had imagined did not occur.

In contrast, Qin Xin was quite relaxed. The blazing black iron furnace in front of him was divided into several parts, each with a spiritual herb floating in it, and the flames in each part were of different temperatures.

Qin Xin's ability to refine pills is due to two factors: firstly, his powerful soul perception, and secondly, his more subtle control over strange fire after entering the Spirit Form Realm.

"laugh!"

Soft sounds emanated slowly from the blazing black iron furnace.

Ling Hanyan had already come out of her previous state of intending to refine pills, and all eyes were now focused on Qin Xin. She couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for his smooth pill-refining technique.

In Ling Hanyan's eyes, Qin Xin was like a monster who had been immersed in alchemy for nearly a hundred years. His purification of spiritual herbs was smooth and effortless, without any mistakes.

As the delicate fragrance wafted from the alchemy furnace, followed by bursts of energy from the purified medicinal herbs, Qin Xin directly fused them together in a specific order.

"Crack! Snap!"

Sounds emanated from the alchemy furnace as the colorful extracts of spiritual herbs fused together. Under the scorching heat of the Azure Rock Fire, impurities were continuously driven away.

Qin Xin completed the entire process in one go without any rest. He naturally sensed that Ling Hanyan was observing his alchemy techniques, so he deliberately slowed down to allow her to see more clearly.

As the prototype of a pill slowly appeared, Qin Xin also entered the process of condensing the pill.

After rapidly rotating the hand seals, the spiritual energy within the alchemy furnace quickly converged into the pill.

After all the spiritual energy was compressed into the pill, a round Five Elements Condensing True Pill, radiating a blue light, circulated continuously in the pill furnace.

The fact that she could refine such a perfect Five Elements Condensation Pill in one go was something even Ling Hanyan herself didn't know if she could do, and she hadn't even opened her mouth yet.

Qin Xin's fingertips moved rapidly once again, and he let out a soft shout.

"The Method of Ascension!"

In an instant, the alchemy furnace, which was about to go out, once again shone with a bright blue light.

The Azure Rock Fire directly enveloped the Five Elements Condensing True Pill.

Ling Hanyan, standing to the side, was filled with confusion. Now that the pill had been refined, this sudden surge of flames might destroy it.

Ling Hanyan also felt somewhat regretful about Qin Xin's mistake.
