“Back then, to successfully obtain this ‘Bone Spirit Cold Flame,’ I spent eight years in that dark and desolate place. Even with all my preparations, I almost turned to ashes at the final moment of absorption…” The Pharmacist Elder sighed and shook his head, a rare hint of lingering fear on his usually calm face. It seemed that encounter was still vividly etched in his memory.
“Hehe, although it was extremely dangerous, as long as I could get this ‘Bone Spirit Cold Flame,’ everything was worth it.” The Pharmacist Elder proudly raised the white flame in his palm and smiled, “With a foreign flame, not only will the potions be more potent, but when facing opponents of the same level, they would never dare to confront you directly.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan gazed at the surging white flame, his face filled with envy.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s envious expression, the Pharmacist Elder chuckled, a cunning smile flashing across his face. However, his tone suddenly changed, “A foreign flame is still quite distant for you. For now, your biggest hope is to become a fighter as soon as possible.”
Nodding somewhat regretfully, Xiao Yan had no choice but to temporarily put aside his longing for the foreign flame and bring his mind back to reality.
Seeing Xiao Yan come back to his senses, the Pharmacist Elder smiled slightly. The white flame in his palm continued to surge, and clusters of flames rose into the air before dissipating. His withered hand grabbed a Blackleaf Lotus and gently threw it into the flame.
The moment the Blackleaf Lotus touched the ‘Bone Spirit Cold Flame,’ it instantly turned into a pool of black liquid, which slowly rolled in the flame, reflecting a faint luster.
The white flame surged more intensely, but Xiao Yan curiously noticed that the air outside the white flame was getting colder and colder.
The Pharmacist Elder focused intently on controlling the temperature of the flame. At this moment, if the temperature was just a tiny bit higher, the black liquid would be turned into nothing but air.
After maintaining the flame at a certain temperature, a small amount of yellow impurities appeared in the black liquid. Seeing the yellow impurities in the liquid, the Pharmacist Elder nodded slightly, flicking his finger to expel a small cluster of black liquid containing the yellow impurities from the main body.
After removing the yellow impurities, some small, light yellow impurities appeared one after another, and the Pharmacist Elder meticulously removed them all.
Under the continuous burning of the white flame, the black liquid, originally the size of half a fist, shrank to the size of a thumb. The deep black liquid rolled slowly in the white flame, like a black pearl, mysterious and profound.
After reducing the first Blackleaf Lotus to the size of a thumb, the Pharmacist Elder stopped and threw four more Blackleaf Lotuses into the flame, turning them all into four pure, black pearl-like liquids.
After a long time of burning with the ‘Bone Spirit Cold Flame,’ the five small liquids gradually merged, and their volume expanded significantly. However, this phenomenon lasted only a moment before shrinking back to their original size.
Rolling in the flame for a long time, even a cluster of white flames seemed to be dancing inside the black liquid.
Seeing this, the Pharmacist Elder quickly grabbed the Snake Saliva Fruit on the table and tossed it into the flame. The Snake Saliva Fruit instantly turned into a green liquid emitting cold air. Quickly removing the impurities from the green liquid, the Pharmacist Elder slowly poured it over the blazing black liquid.
“Chirp chirp…” As the two different-attribute liquids met, strange sounds arose, and a pale mist rose from the flame.
As the mist gradually dissipated, the rough shape of a pill quietly emerged from the flame.
Looking at the pill, the Pharmacist Elder nodded slightly and added the Spirit Gathering Grass and a second-level water-type magic core into the flame. Turning them into liquids, removing impurities, and merging them together… the Pharmacist Elder performed these complex and precise steps almost flawlessly, without any hesitation.
Seeing the Pharmacist Elder’s swift actions, even Xiao Yan, who was still a novice in alchemy, couldn’t help but silently admire him.
After neutralizing the violent energy in the magic core with the Spirit Gathering Grass, a pure, light blue energy slowly flowed into the pill. When the last drop of blue energy entered the pill, its rough surface became smooth and round, a faint blue luster appearing on its surface, making it look beautiful.
Having completed these steps, the Pharmacist Elder did not immediately stop. Instead, he continued to warm the pill in the flame for nearly ten minutes before the white flame in his palm slowly extinguished.
When the flame disappeared, the Pharmacist Elder swiftly grabbed a jade bottle from the table and placed the slightly green, lightly blue pill inside it.
“Phew…” Letting out a long sigh, the Pharmacist Elder casually tossed the jade bottle to Xiao Yan, saying, “Take a look.”
Carefully taking the jade bottle, Xiao Yan excitedly brought it to his nose. A familiar, unique fragrance emanated from it, invigorating his spirit.
Looking at the blue-green pill in the bottle, Xiao Yan, with his exceptional soul perception, could vaguely tell that this Spirit Gathering Pill was definitely of a higher grade and potency than the one Nalan Yanran had presented earlier!
Recalling the woman’s condescending manner and tone when she presented the pill, Xiao Yan smiled lightly, a trace of mockery in his smile.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan tightly held the cool jade bottle and exhaled heavily. After three years, he could finally step back into that realm…
