Unknowingly, another month passed. At this moment, Xie Qi had reached the ninth level of martial arts apprentice. He only needed to break through this level to become a warrior and take the entrance examination.

Moreover, after a long period of study, Xie Qi felt that he was fully prepared and could try to refine pills by himself. Once he refined the boundary-breaking pill, he would be able to break through.

Just then, 948 mysteriously pulled out a strangely shaped furnace. This furnace was completely different from the traditional furnaces Xie Qi had in mind. It shimmered with a strange light, and its lines were smooth and technological.

Looking at the stove in front of him, Xie Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "948, are you sure this is not a microwave oven?"

948 chuckled and replied confidently, "Don't worry, host. This is a fully automatic alchemy furnace produced by the system. It will definitely exceed your imagination! As long as you follow the instructions, I guarantee that you will refine top-grade elixirs in every furnace!"

Hearing this, Xie Qi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He reached out and carefully picked up the square stove.

He examined the furnace carefully, scanning it from top to bottom and left to right several times before he slowly spoke, "Hmm...it does sound quite good, but should we change the appearance a bit? After all, we have to conform to the setting of this world, right?"

However, although Xie Qi said that he had to conform to the world's settings at this time, in fact, when he made pills in the future, his methods were completely different from those of other alchemists in this world.

He discarded all the traditional alchemy techniques and methods, and replaced them with an unprecedented and unique way of alchemy.

Because of this, Xie Qi eventually became a well-known and eccentric figure in the alchemy world throughout the Wuling Continent, attracting much attention and discussion.

When 948 heard Xie Qi's request, he reacted quickly and modified the appearance of the furnace at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, a golden cauldron appeared before Xie Qi's eyes. The cauldron shone with dazzling golden light, and its surface was engraved with exquisite patterns and patterns, looking both gorgeous and mysterious.

Now that he had such an exquisite furnace in his hands, Xie Qi naturally couldn't wait to start refining the elixir.

So, Xie Qi began to search around the forest for the materials needed for the Boundary Breaking Pill. Fortunately, with the plug-in 948, it was easy to find the materials.

After finding the materials, he found a quiet and secluded cave.

Xie Qi concentrated on placing various rare materials into the furnace in an orderly manner according to the extremely clear memory deep in his mind.

Finally, all the materials have been put in place, and the next step is the most critical step in the entire alchemy process, the fire.

On the Wuling Continent, when people successfully break through their own shackles and awaken to become Wuling, the spark of heart fire will naturally be born in their bodies.

However, for those novices who are new to the field of alchemy, directly using their own heart fire to make elixirs is undoubtedly an act full of risks and challenges.

Because every time an alchemy operation is completed, a highly toxic flame will often be generated in the furnace. If the alchemist himself is not strong enough or lacks experience, he is very likely to be burned by the poisonous fire, or even endanger his life.

Because of this, most junior alchemists who have just stepped into the threshold of alchemy will choose a relatively safer method - using the power of earth fire to assist in alchemy.

Although the earth fire is indeed more stable and gentle than the heart fire, it also has a flaw that cannot be ignored. It is easy to introduce too many impurities during the elixir refining process, thus affecting the purity and efficacy of the elixir.

In addition, there is a magical flame - strange fire.

If one could successfully subdue a strange fire and use it for their own benefit, it would be a great help to an alchemist. This was because using strange fire to refine pills would not only not produce toxic flames, but more importantly, the resulting pills would be pure and flawless, without any impurities.

Unfortunately, Xie Qi did not have any strange fire at this moment, so he had no choice but to use the earth fire to refine the elixir.

Xie Qi carefully placed the cauldron in front of him, then crossed his legs and sat down steadily. Then, he slowly opened his arms, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and began to concentrate on guiding the earth fire into the cauldron.

However, what surprised Xie Qi was that after he finished lighting the fire, he no longer needed to keep staring at the fire.

"How is it, host? Isn't this alchemy furnace I recommended to you particularly useful? You only need to complete the preliminary preparations properly, and all subsequent steps, including heat control and time management, can be completely handled automatically by this furnace. When the specified time arrives, freshly baked and high-quality elixirs will appear before you."

Hearing this, Xie Qi was stunned for a moment, then he stopped moving his hands, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he stared intently at the magical furnace in front of him.

Three full hours passed in a flash. During this long wait, the faint glow of the fire gradually dimmed and finally went out completely.

At the same time, a furnace of extremely precious elixirs was finally successfully refined. When Xie Qi carefully opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, a rich medicinal fragrance came to his nose, which made him feel relaxed and happy.

And at that moment, five round and smooth pills emitting a mysterious luster appeared before his eyes.

Xie Qi looked at the pill, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. However, he did not let his guard down.

Knowing it wasn't a good time to stay here, he quickly moved in, bringing in massive rocks to seal the cave shut. Only after completing this did he breathe a sigh of relief, then without hesitation, he took out one of the Boundary Breaking Pills and placed it in his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, transforming into a powerful torrent of energy that flowed down his throat and instantly spread throughout his body's meridians. Xie Qi felt as if countless flames were burning in his body, the heat was unbearable, but he gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring the pain, and fully channeling the medicinal power to attack the bottleneck.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. During these seven days and nights, Xie Qi was completely immersed in cultivation, completely isolated from the outside world.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the originally silent cave. The big rocks used to block the cave entrance were blown everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Immediately afterwards, a figure walked out from the depths of the cave. At this time, Xie Qi, after a week of arduous efforts, had successfully broken through and became a first-level warrior.

At this time, you can take the entrance examination for Wuxing College.
