Staring at this bizarre and unbelievable sight, Ning Que was completely stunned, his mouth agape as if he could fit his own fist inside.
His eyes were wide open, as if the pupils were being pulled by an invisible force, and looked as if they were about to roll out of their sockets.
You must understand, Ning Que is no ignorant person.
Prior to this, he had witnessed firsthand the scenes of alchemy masters refining elixirs on numerous occasions.
However, even someone as experienced as him had never seen a pill refining process trigger such an astonishing phenomenon!
"Could this be because of the refining of divine pills?" Ning Que wondered to himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm the shock and excitement in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, his gaze, like two torches, was firmly fixed on the Xuanhuo Dan Ding not far ahead.
Just then, Ning Que keenly sensed that an extremely pure divine power was continuously emanating from inside the Xuanhuo Cauldron.
Although this divine power is still somewhat weak, its very existence is enough to explain a lot—Qin Feng may really have the ability to refine divine pills!
Ning Que felt as if his heart had been suddenly gripped by an invisible hand, and its beating speed instantly soared to its limit!
He stared wide-eyed at the Xuanhuo Pill Cauldron in front of him, which was radiating a dazzling light.
If Qin Feng were to successfully refine this divine pill, the news would likely cause an uproar across the entire True Spirit Continent, triggering an unprecedented and massive storm!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Ning Que had completely forgotten the passing of time.
The light surrounding the Xuanhuo Cauldron grew increasingly intense, like a blazing sun, radiating endless light and heat.
The intense light was so bright that Ning Que couldn't look directly at it, and he involuntarily squinted to avoid being burned.
Just then, without warning, the cauldron suddenly emitted a slight but clearly audible tremor.
Immediately afterwards, the lid of the cauldron began to rise slowly, as if propelled by a mysterious force.
As the lid of the cauldron gradually rose, a dazzling golden beam of light suddenly shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds!
Amidst the dazzling golden light, five perfectly round and crystal-clear pills floated leisurely in mid-air.
These pills shimmered with a dazzling and mysterious light, and divine power flowed continuously on them like a babbling brook, just like the twinkling stars in a vast galaxy.
Almost simultaneously, the sky, which had been clear and sunny, suddenly changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.
Thick, dark clouds rolled in, quickly gathering into a dark canopy that blocked out the sunlight.
Accompanied by muffled thunder, streaks of silver lightning ripped through the sky, roaring wildly as if to tear the world apart.
"Is...it really a divine pill? And it's even a top-grade divine pill!" Ning Que's eyes widened, and he looked up at the dark, cloud-covered sky with disbelief.
He couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his dry lips, making a gurgling sound in his throat as he swallowed hard.
At this moment, Ning Que's heart was like a stormy sea, and he could not calm down for a long time.
The elixir before him, radiating brilliant light and containing boundless mysterious power, left even this well-traveled man deeply awestruck.
"This... could this be the legendary Pill Tribulation?"
Ning Que cried out in a trembling voice, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He had heard various legends about the Dan Tribulation, but he never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene with his own eyes.
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and streaks of purple lightning, like ferocious dragons, raged through the air, as if to tear the entire world apart.
Just then, Qin Feng slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the vast and boundless sky above, his face as calm as still water.
"It has actually triggered such a powerful tribulation. I wonder if these few Starfall Pills can withstand this terrifying lightning tribulation?"
Although his voice was not loud, it revealed a hint of worry and doubt.
"If they can't withstand this tribulation, then all the efforts we've made before will have been in vain!" Qin Feng sighed softly as he said this.
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Ning Que, who was standing to the side, smiled faintly and comforted him, "Peak Master Qin, I will take action to block the tribulation lightning."
Qin Feng turned to look at Ning Que, then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If you rashly try to block the lightning tribulation, the efficacy of these five Starfall Pills will be greatly reduced!"
"I estimate that its effectiveness will be reduced by at least 50%!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Que's smile instantly froze, replaced by a bitter smile.
He sighed helplessly and said, "But if we don't take action, are we just going to watch these invaluable Starfall Pills be completely destroyed by the lightning tribulation? Wouldn't that be an even greater loss?"
Qin Feng frowned slightly, turned his gaze back to the lightning tribulation in the sky, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Let's let the Starfall Pill withstand the lightning tribulation on its own first!"
"It's not too late for us to intervene when they really can't hold on any longer."
"After all, it's always good to be able to retain more of their original medicinal effects."
After saying that, he gazed silently at the sky and said nothing more.
Ning Que felt that Qin Feng's words made sense, so he didn't say anything more.
Not long after, the tribulation ended, and the space around the five meteorite pills began to distort.
Suddenly, the first lightning bolt struck down, like an angry silver serpent, heading straight for the Starfall Pill.
The five meteorite pills emitted a soft glow, managing to withstand the attack.
Qin Feng was slightly pleased, but then the second and third lightning tribulations followed one after another, each more ferocious than the last.
The light from the five meteorite pills began to flicker erratically, like a candle burning in the wind.
Ning Que couldn't help but take a step forward, looking anxiously at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng remained calm, showing no signs of panic.
When the fourth lightning tribulation descended, the light of the five Starfall Pills dimmed considerably.
Immediately following, a strange change occurred. A peculiar power suddenly erupted from within the five Starfall Pills, dispersing part of the lightning tribulation. The remaining lightning struck them, causing the pills to vibrate violently, but they ultimately withstood the impact.
The final lightning tribulation was about to strike, its terrifying pressure causing the earth to tremble.
At this moment, the Starfall Pill seemed to have exhausted its energy and floated quietly.
Just as the lightning tribulation was about to strike, mysterious runes suddenly appeared around the Starfall Pill. These runes autonomously absorbed the power of the lightning tribulation and successfully protected the Starfall Pill.
