Shi Xuan sat down on the futon in the center of the room and took out the newly acquired Tianyuan Pill Furnace to heat it up.
Having long been familiar with the process of refining the Rejuvenation Pill, Shi Xuan put all the raw materials into the furnace, controlled it with his divine sense and enhanced it with spiritual power. Before long, the medicinal liquid condensed together.
It seemed to take much less time than she usually did when refining pills.
This alchemy furnace truly lived up to the six hours she spent examining the symptoms on the wall; it was incredibly effective. She gained a more refined understanding of the medicinal liquid, and it consumed far less spiritual energy.
She felt as if she had returned to the heyday of her past life when she was refining pills. It was as if a beautiful melody was playing around her during the process, and every movement she made was in harmony with that melody, extremely smooth and silky.
You can immerse yourself in it completely and enjoy the pleasure that alchemy brings.
In the exhilarating experience of alchemy, time seemed to fly by. Shi Xuan felt as if the pill had been formed in no time.
She quickly cast the pill-collecting incantation, and before the elixir could even leap out of the furnace, a dazzling ray of light shone down upon her.
Shi Xuan sighed inwardly, "The Way of Heaven is truly omnipresent."
It's truly a miracle that a radiant Dao seal could descend from within the array of this secret realm, inside a sealed hall.
After being blessed by the rosy glow, the round pills in the alchemy furnace were collected into the jade bottle one by one. Unexpectedly, this time as many as ten pills were successfully made!
Shi Xuan was also somewhat puzzled. Wasn't a full batch of pills supposed to yield only nine? How come this batch produced ten pills?!
Perhaps she was mistaken. She probed the jade bottle with her divine sense, and there were still ten. She poured them out and looked at them in her hand, and there were still ten...
This time, she really did refine ten pills in one batch!
Therefore, "full pill" does not mean nine pills, but rather that the highest yield of pills they could refine in the past was nine!
Elsewhere in the Silverfrost Secret Realm, the beast tide swept across half the map, affecting disciples of several sects, and even killing a rogue cultivator who couldn't dodge in time.
At that very moment, a dazzling radiance suddenly appeared in the sky above the secret realm, so bright and beautiful that it was breathtaking. Disciples who had participated in the Six Sects' Alchemy Grand Competition immediately recognized it as the Radiant Light Dao Seal!
It was Shi Xuan! While they were being chased by monsters and were exhausted, she was leisurely refining pills somewhere in the northeast!
Everyone has their own destiny. In this monster tide, there will always be some cultivators who are not present. Most people don't feel anything, but there will always be a small number of people who will feel psychologically unbalanced.
Fan Mingzhu was among this small group of people.
She had already used several speed talismans to leave the area of the monster horde and was resting in a safe place when she saw the sky full of rosy clouds. She was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth to pieces!
How could she be so careless! Her hair was disheveled and her body was filthy from being chased by the demonic beasts, while Shi Xuan was able to sit there leisurely refining pills, so leisurely that he even produced the Radiant Dao Seal!
The way of Heaven is so unfair. Since the last alchemy competition, Fan Mingzhu has tried countless times with low-grade pills after returning to her sect, but even top-grade pills are rarely produced, let alone Daoyin pills.
Why can Shi Xuan do it, but she can't?
Moreover, if Xuan hadn't tried to kill her the moment they met, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state!
In that instant, Fan Mingzhu's eyes reddened with resentment. She abruptly stood up, returned to the group being chased, and shouted, "Run northeast!"
Her intentions were obvious. Many disciples in the six sects knew that the radiant Dao Seal that had just appeared in the northeast must be the place where Shi Xuan was.
Perhaps Fan Mingzhu's voice was too loud, attracting the attention of several demonic beasts ahead, who turned and charged at her. Fan Mingzhu had no choice but to take out the speed talisman again, slap it on her body, and rush forward in a panic.
After running a few steps, she suddenly thought that since she was going to be chased by monsters anyway, she might as well run in the direction of Shi Xuan, which attracted a group of monsters behind her to chase her and lead her to the northeast.
The group from the Lianfeng Sword Sect were also being chased by the demonic beasts. Seeing Fan Mingzhu's words and actions, they were so angry that they cursed loudly: "Fan Mingzhu, you shameless scoundrel, you are only fit to do petty theft. With your narrow-mindedness, you are worlds apart from my Senior Sister Shi Xuan. You can only ever look up to her!"
These words attracted the attention of a group of demonic beasts. Led by Lu Shan, the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect led these demonic beasts to run northwest, trying to relieve some of the pressure on Shi Xuan.
The remaining disciples were also at a loss and split into two factions. One group chose not to affect more people, while the other group, especially the people of the Divine Cauldron Sect, were more willing to follow Fan Mingzhu. Some people also thought that Shi Xuan was wise and that if they took him to her, she might come up with a solution.
Shi Xuan was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world; her second batch of pills was almost ready.
This time, she chose the second-tier pill, the Spirit Nourishing Pill. This was one of her usual pills; she would take one when she couldn't sleep while at the black market, and it was very effective.
For Shi Xuan now, taking second-tier pills no longer affects her unstable spiritual root, making it a very easy task.
As she expected, there were still cases where the elixirs did not match the description. Shi Xuan was certain that this was a test for the alchemists in the area.
This time, just like with the Rejuvenation Pill before, it was easy to enter a mysterious state. All the steps were repeated. Before long, a large patch of rosy light gathered in the sky again. After the pills were formed, there were still ten pills!
Shi Xuan looked at the ten radiant Spirit Nourishing Pills and was very satisfied. This was the first time she had produced a second-tier pill since arriving in the Qian Yuan Continent.
The people outside were anything but calm. Regardless of whether Shi Xuan was leisurely or not, what exactly was she doing during those two instances of radiant light and Dao seals in half an hour?
As Fan Mingzhu ran towards the direction of the rosy dawn, she cursed inwardly. Two Dao Seals had appeared in such a short time! If only she were the one who had appeared! Her sect leader father would surely cherish her even more, and her senior brothers and sisters would surely look at her with reverence, instead of just because she was the sect leader's daughter!
The wall opposite Shi Xuan seemed to loosen slightly, but for some reason it didn't open; it swayed a bit and then returned to stillness. Shi Xuan thought perhaps it wanted to see how to refine higher-grade pills.
In fact, for this secret realm that can only accommodate Qi Refining stage cultivators, second-tier pills are already considered the pinnacle of Qi Refining stage pill cultivators, so demanding third-tier pills is a bit too much to ask.
However, for Shi Xuan, reaching the third rank is not out of the question, since he has refined it before.
This time, she chose the Rejuvenating Pill.
Even when selecting medicinal herbs, traps still existed. Shi Xuan wrinkled his nose, wondering who had mixed them up, with one type of each herb mixed together, all of which looked and smelled similar. It was quite a deliberate effort.
When Shi Xuan was refining third-tier pills outside, he always needed to take painkillers because it required a high level of sustained output of spiritual energy.
However, to her surprise, this time, her problem was improved.
