Chapter 460: The Fifth Spirit Pill

Having one's Dantian destroyed is no small matter, so Xiao Fan dared not be careless…

Condensing this Spirit Pill was even more difficult than the previous ones…

Strands of blue Spiritual Power flowed into his Dantian. It took Xiao Fan a full two hours to condense this dense water-attribute Spiritual Power into a blue Spirit Pill.

Although it was only the size of a sesame seed and just a rudimentary form, this brought great joy to Xiao Fan.

The formation of the Spirit Pill's rudimentary form meant he no longer needed to struggle so hard to block the absorption of Spiritual Power…

After nearly another eight hours, Xiao Fan finally opened his eyes…

Two blue water-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stones had been completely absorbed and exhausted by him.

"The difficulty was greater than I imagined, but fortunately, the condensation was successful. Once the Water Spirit Pill is full, I fear the pressure will be even greater when I condense the Metal Spirit Pill and Wood Spirit Pill!"

Xiao Fan exhaled, yet the ease between his brows did not increase.

Absorbing the water-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stones just now had also been a tremendous drain on him…

As massive amounts of water-attribute Spiritual Power poured in, he needed to use the Spiritual Power within his body to isolate the previously condensed fire-attribute Spirit Pill and wood-attribute Spirit Pill…

Especially the fire-attribute Spirit Pill; Xiao Fan believed that if the water-attribute Spiritual Power were allowed to pour into the fire-attribute Spirit Pill…

The consequences would be unimaginable.

"Forget it, I will focus on filling the water-attribute Spirit Pill first."

Xiao Fan exhaled, withdrew his Divine Soul from the star chart, and as usual, refined a furnace of Level 2 Medicinal Pills in front of everyone…

Then, with a solemn expression, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged…

It was not as if no one noticed him.

Even though they were all frantically engaged in Alchemy, it was not as if they could fail to notice a living person who stood out so starkly…

It was just that no one paid him any mind; after all, what did Xiao Fan meditating have to do with them?

Lu Yueshan naturally knew that Xiao Fan only refined one furnace of Medicinal Pills a day before closing his eyes to rest…

Lu Yueshan felt her teeth itch with hatred toward this detestable fellow.

Currently, Xiao Fan had only refined Level 2 Medicinal Pills in front of the others, and most of the rest were Level 2 Alchemists.

Lu Yueshan possessed the highest Alchemy attainments here. For the third round of the examination, which tested Alchemy… she was almost certain to take first place.

Whenever the Black Tower opened, those who obtained first place within it were destined for greatness in the future; there were no exceptions…

As for Xiao Fan…

His Divine Soul entered the star chart, and it took nearly another ten days to condense the Water Spirit Pill to the same size as the other Spirit Pills…

Xiao Fan was not careless this time; he swallowed quite a few Medicinal Pills to restore his Spiritual Power.

Only then did he hold two metal-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stones to begin absorption…

The metal-attribute Spiritual Power felt incredibly solid; strands of golden light flowed into his body, slowly gathering in his Dantian.

Xiao Fan had used his Spiritual Power beforehand to wrap and isolate the other three Spirit Pills, preventing this golden Spiritual Power from pouring in… and avoiding it being absorbed.

The process was slower than before, and cold sweat broke out on Xiao Fan's forehead…

One hour…

Two hours…

Three hours…

Until five hours later, the golden Spiritual Power that had poured into his body began to gather, slowly condensing into a small golden sesame-sized ball…

Xiao Fan, sitting cross-legged, finally smoothed his furrowed brows…

The small golden sesame seed was none other than the Metal Spirit Pill…

He held the metal-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stones in both hands, absorbing them continuously into his body…

The Metal Spirit Pill within his body grew increasingly robust.

This time, it took Xiao Fan nearly half a month to condense the Metal Spirit Pill to the size of an infant's fist…

"There might not be enough time."

Inside the star chart, Xiao Fan muttered to himself, constantly calculating the time.

He could only stay in this Black Tower for less than ten more days before the third round of the examination would begin…

He estimated that to condense the final Earth Spirit Pill, it would require at least twenty days…

"Whatever, I'll see how far I can get. At the very least, I must condense its rudimentary form first."

Xiao Fan exhaled; he certainly would not give up such a rare opportunity.

He also knew that condensing the Earth Spirit Pill this time would be even more difficult than before…

Condensing the Metal Spirit Pill previously had nearly exhausted eighty percent of the Spiritual Power in his body.

As for this final Earth Spirit Pill, Xiao Fan's own Spiritual Power would struggle to persist until the condensation was complete.

When condensing extra Spirit Pills, the most dangerous time is when the Spirit Pill has not yet condensed, as the Spiritual Power within the Dantian is chaotic…

Xiao Fan went out for a turn, then his Divine Soul returned to the star chart.

Then, he swallowed five of the Level 4 Medicinal Pills from within the star chart, which only had half their Spiritual Power remaining, all at once.

"This should be equivalent to two and a half Level 4 Medicinal Pills… that should be enough…"

Xiao Fan exhaled; the Spiritual Power within his body churned, and a massive amount of medicinal potency poured out continuously.

Xiao Fan did not dawdle and immediately held two brown Top-Grade Spirit Stones, beginning to absorb them…

The earth-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stone was the heaviest of all Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Its weight was several times that of other Spirit Stones of the same size.

As the earth-attribute Spiritual Power poured into his body, Xiao Fan felt a sense of heaviness throughout his entire being…

It flowed along Xiao Fan's flesh and Meridians into his Dantian.
