"Two more birds all of a sudden?" Zuan was both surprised and delighted. Happiness came so suddenly that he could hardly believe it for a moment.
Mi Li was much more composed: "You've leveled up twice recently, so it's only natural that you'd awaken two new divine birds. I was worried that since you broke through to the eighth rank but hadn't awakened any new divine birds, you'd only be able to awaken a new one each time you reached the peak of that rank. But things are much better than I expected. By the way, take a look at what abilities these two new birds bring."
“Alright!” Zuan nodded, closed his eyes to sense it, then suddenly opened them, saying with a strange expression, “The Fire Phoenix’s power is the Phoenix Flame, the most sacred flame in the world, a fusion of destruction and benevolence; as for the Golden Phoenix… the Golden Phoenix…”
Seeing his hesitation, Mi Li grew impatient: "What's wrong with Jin Feng?"
It is well known that the golden phoenix has been an auspicious beast since ancient times. Because of its noble and elegant characteristics, it has often been used in the crowns and ornaments of empresses. Mi Li had a great fondness for the golden phoenix, so she became increasingly curious about what abilities the golden phoenix possessed.
Zuan replied, "Jin Feng is of the metal element, and its ability is 'love stronger than metal,' which can... can arouse a woman's desire and make her fall hopelessly in love with you."
Mi Li: "..."
He subconsciously took a step back, then spat: "Like master, like bird. A magnificent phoenix, played with by you like a lecherous thief."
Zuan looked frustrated: "This isn't something I can decide."
Mi Li snorted: "Are there any conditions for using this thing? Or are there any restrictions on the target's cultivation level?"
Zuan shook his head: "It's not clear yet. I haven't seen any relevant information. We can only wait and explore it slowly in the future."
Mi Li took another step back, her expression somewhat unnatural, and said, "You're not allowed to use this on me!"
Zuan couldn't help but complain, "I'm a real man, handsome and charming, and I'm always popular with women. My female confidantes are all beautiful. Do I need to use this method to get women?"
Mi Li had to admit, "Your luck with women is indeed unusually strong."
“That’s because I’m handsome,” Zuan puffed out his chest. “Besides, what are you afraid of as a soul?”
"Mind your own business, but you're not allowed to use it on me." Mi Li stared at him intently with wide eyes.
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Zu An's tone was unusually serious and steady, a departure from his usual flippant manner.
Mi Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Based on her interactions over this period of time, she knew that the other party had not lied to her, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Then let's start refining the medicine. You must control the intensity of the flame so as not to burn the medicinal herbs inside," Mi Li reminded her. She wasn't worried about any problems with the Nine Cauldrons.
Zuan nodded, then slowly opened his palm, and a leaping golden flame appeared in his hand, instantly making the whole room much hotter.
Mi Li frowned slightly, flicked her sleeve, and faint runes flickered around the room: "I have set up an array around us to prevent it from being burned by your Phoenix Flame, and at the same time to prevent its aura from leaking out and being detected by the powerful figures in the capital."
Zuan was secretly surprised. Mi Li was truly unfathomable. Thinking back to how he had managed to fight such a person to a standstill, he could only sigh that the rich woman's happy ball was simply too heaven-defying.
He dared not be distracted and hurriedly manipulated the golden flames to separate a wisp that circled around the Nine Cauldrons, forming a stark contrast with Daji's blue foxfire.
Because he was in perfect harmony with Daji at this moment, he was able to perfectly control the intensity of the two flames, bringing them to the most harmonious and perfect state.
Having gained experience using foxfire before, Zuan now controlled the phoenix flame with ease. He quickly saw the medicinal herbs inside gradually liquefying through the transparent cauldron. Then, following the steps recorded in the "Gathering Yuan Ancient Scroll," he continuously changed the size of the flame while adding various medicinal herbs as supplementary ingredients.
The medicinal herbs are completely liquefied, and then the vital energy is used to envelop the liquid clumps to prevent them from vaporizing. Gradually, the liquid clumps begin to merge, impurities are forced out, and the essence is mixed together and reacts with each other.
Mi Li reminded her from the side, "Be careful. Even experienced alchemists have a success rate that rarely exceeds fifty percent, let alone a novice alchemist like you."
As if to confirm her words, almost as soon as she finished speaking, the clumps of liquid that were originally enveloped by primordial energy and about to fuse into a pill suddenly began to tremble violently, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment.
Sweat beaded on Zuan's forehead: "Damn it, I can't control them anymore!"
Mi Li also looked anxious, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do at the moment.
Just then, a flash of green light appeared on Jiuding's body, and a thick, ancient aura enveloped the clumps of liquid.
Then, the previously restless clumps of liquid miraculously calmed down, completely merged, and finally formed a round pill. Immediately afterwards, a fragrant aroma of the pill wafted out from the cauldron, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Mi Li's furrowed brows relaxed: "It's done! It seems the effect of increasing the success rate of alchemy by fifty percent has worked. Take out the Gathering Yuan Pill."
"Wait, there seems to be some unusual activity." Zu'an quickly stopped her.
Mi Li looked at the Nine Cauldrons with a puzzled expression. She saw a flash of green light around the Nine Cauldrons, and a few wisps of faint aura surrounded the pill. Then the light around the pill became blurry. When she could see it again, there was an identical pill next to the original pill.
"Double pill production, that's a characteristic of that luxurious furnace!" Mi Li was both surprised and delighted.
