"That's strange, there's nothing wrong with it," Lin Miao paced back and forth next to Sui Xin, completely baffled.

I even tried it myself once. The process was the same, but I just couldn't refine the pills. I always failed at the last step.

It was already nine o'clock at night.

"Suixin, you should go back and rest first. I'll think about it some more and let you know if I find anything," Lin Miao said, looking at Suixin sitting on the ground.

After practicing the third-tier pill for five or six hours, Sui Xin was already a little tired, mainly because he was somewhat frustrated and still couldn't find a solution to the problem.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Master," Sui Xin stood up and said goodbye to Lin Ling.

There was no other way; the master couldn't tell, and we couldn't just keep waiting here, especially since Xiyun was still at home.

...

Sui Xi Lou

Seeing that Suixin hadn't come home yet, Xiyun became a little anxious and paced back and forth at the door.

Finally, Sui Xin's figure appeared in the distance.

Seeing his tired appearance, Xi Yun quickly ran over and asked with some concern, "Sui Xin, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry," Sui Xin said as she walked into the house.

He slowly recounted the whole story of the medicine-making process to Xi Yun, and finally sighed, "Alas, even Master doesn't know what's going on."

"Don't worry, you've had a long day. Go take a shower and rest. Maybe you'll feel better tomorrow," Xi Yun comforted her.

"Hmm," Sui Xin smiled and nodded.

Xi Yun originally wanted to show the clothes she bought to Sui Xin, but seeing that he was a bit down, she didn't take them out and decided to wait a few days.

Lying in bed, Sui Xin's mind was filled with thoughts of alchemy, and he didn't even want to go to Elder Long's place anymore.

Feeling Xi Yun's breathing gradually become steady in his arms, Sui Xin carefully pulled his arm out, and before leaving the room, he looked back to see that Xi Yun had not woken up, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I simply don't believe it.

He casually put on some clothes, went to the cultivation room, set up a soundproof array, and began refining medicine.

Even though it was late at night, Sui Xin remained fully focused, even more so than before.

Not only the changes in the pills, but also the changes in the surrounding environment and the body itself are all clearly understood, without overlooking a single detail.

They've arrived.

It was time for the final step of pill formation. Sui Xin looked very serious, closing his eyes and focusing intently on the process.

With a soft "whoosh," the elixir turned to ashes.

Sui Xin sat still, but something felt off.

With his Eye of Destiny open, he scanned the powdered pills and everything on the alchemy furnace.

Could it be because of the spirit seed and the demon seed?

You wouldn't know unless you looked closely, but once you did, you'd discover that the tip of the True Phoenix Fire flame had two unusual clusters of color: one was slightly white, and the other was light black.

He knew that the True Phoenix Fire had changed slightly since the emergence of the Spirit Seed and the Demon Seed, but he had never paid it any mind.

I wonder if the failure to refine the medicine was due to the flame.

Reaching out to touch the flames, the two felt completely different. The white flame was gentle and its temperature was slightly lower than that of the True Phoenix Flame, while the black flame was more violent and its temperature was unusually high.

Fortunately, the black flames did not have any demonic aura; they were simply a color.

Having made a guess, he casually extinguished the flames and directly condensed ordinary spiritual fire to start refining again.

Cultivators without special flames rely on this method to refine pills.

As expected, the Heavenly Spirit Pill was successfully refined.

However, its refining speed is relatively slow, more than half as slow as that of the True Phoenix Fire.

Sui Xin was somewhat excited and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he had some vague suspicions before, but he didn't want to tell Lin Miao.

It seems that the uneven temperature of the black and white flames prevented the formation of the core.

Now, the main problem is how to restore the True Phoenix Fire to its previous state.

Try it slowly and at your own pace.

First, I tried to separate the black and white flames from the original flame, but the separated parts just kept coming back in. I tried several times but it didn't work...

Trying again and again...

Time flies.

He tried many methods, big and small, and even removed the demon seed from his body once, but none of them worked.

Forget it, let's put it aside for now. We can make do with the spirit fire for now; it's not good to keep wasting time.

It takes about half an hour to refine one using spirit fire. I'll practice again tomorrow and I can refine it even faster once I'm more skilled.

Failure? It's practically impossible for me.

Around four or five in the morning, I casually tidied up the alchemy furnace, medicinal herbs, and other things on the ground.

I quietly took a shower, dried my hair, and sneaked into bed.

Following the original action, he gently held Xiyun in his arms.

"Aren't you asleep?" Xi Yun suddenly hugged Sui Xin tightly.

I woke her up just as I got into bed.

"It's nothing, I've taken care of the pill problem," Sui Xin said casually after being taken aback.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's rest a little longer," Xi Yun said softly.

"Um".

I'm definitely a bit tired.

...

I slept for two hours, until 6:30.

Xi Yun wanted Sui Xin to rest a little longer, but he insisted on getting up, and she couldn't do anything about it.

After a quick and easy breakfast, Suixin resumed her alchemy practice.

According to his plan, he should be able to refine more than forty pills a day, and more than two hundred pills if he refines them for five consecutive days, with thirty pills for each person.

If I practice some more at night, it will be even faster.

After refining the pills these past few days, I've devoted myself to cultivation, hoping to improve my cultivation level as much as possible before the Heavenly Weapon Mountain opens.
