Chapter 837: Pill Formation and Anomalies

Xiao Fan's attainments in Alchemy were already considered the pinnacle within Wuhuang Province.

After all, in Wuhuang Province, the highest-level Alchemist was only a 5th-Grade Alchemist.

But after arriving in other major provinces, Xiao Fan's horizons had broadened.

grade 6 pills, grade 7 pills, and even grade 8…

Xiao Fan possessed extraordinary talent for Alchemy, and combined with the Enlightenment Seed, he was even more like a fish in water.

The Great Spirit Pill before him seemed to radiate a strange scene that swirled before Xiao Fan's eyes…

It was the scene of the Alchemist who had originally refined this pill in the act of doing so.

The Enlightenment Seed was assisting him in deducing the process, helping Xiao Fan to comprehend…

Two hours later.

A clear light flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes; he slowly set down the Great Spirit Pill, a smile appearing on his face.

"So that's how it is… Grade 6 doesn't seem so difficult after all."

Previously, after the Enlightenment Seed had devoured a large number of ancient artifacts at the divine temple, it had become even more extraordinary.

And the help it could now provide to Xiao Fan was several times stronger than before…

Furthermore, besides being able to help Xiao Fan comprehend things, it could also help Xiao Fan deduce the process for his Medicinal Pills.

In the past, Xiao Fan would have been completely unable to reach the point where he could deduce the process just by holding a Medicinal Pill.

But now, he could do it.

Next, Xiao Fan took out the xuanhuang pill furnace.

After the golden Pill Furnace appeared, Xiao Fan took out a large amount of spiritual materials and Heaven And Earth Treasures from his Storage Pouch…

He was going to attempt to refine a grade 6 pill.

However, what he wanted to refine was not a Great Spirit Pill, but a grade 6 Du'e Golden Core.

The Du'e Golden Core was also a grade 6 pill, used for treating injuries.

Inside Xiao Fan's star chart, he possessed the complete Pill Formula for the Du'e Golden Core.

Xiao Fan could deduce the refining technique for the Great Spirit Pill, but he still could not deduce its Pill Formula.

One had to know that refining a grade 6 pill required, at the very least, over ten thousand spiritual materials…

This involved many variables, and without an accurate Pill Formula, there was simply no way to begin.

The huge golden furnace lid opened, and Xiao Fan continuously added various spiritual materials into it.

Although he had only refined a grade 5 pill once before.

That experience was enough…

His cultivation had now reached the Pi Hai Realm, his grasp of spiritual energy was more adept, and his application of the Spirit Protection Technique could be more proficient.

Half an hour later…

Xiao Fan had added over 6,000 types of spiritual materials.

This time, he did not add all the spiritual materials at once.

Because he could not afford the consumption… With tens of thousands of spiritual materials, if he added them all at once, even with the combat power of the Yuding Realm, Xiao Fan would absolutely not be able to handle it…

Xiao Fan had now obtained the complete Azure Flame Art, which was of huge help to Alchemy, so he did not need to worry about the problem of fire power at all.

One hour later…

Xiao Fan added another 2,000 types of spiritual materials, and hot sweat began to appear on his forehead…

Alchemy was a very energy-consuming task!

And using the Spirit Protection Technique would cause this energy to be consumed an additional tens, or even hundreds of times more!!

This was also the reason why the Spirit Protection Technique could not be used by Cultivators with low cultivation.

Three hours later…

Xiao Fan added another 3,000 types of spiritual materials.

This time, adding the spiritual materials meant putting in all the remaining spiritual materials for refining the Du'e Golden Core.

And his spiritual energy was also being consumed rapidly at an alarming rate.

The Azure Flame Art was in operation, and at this moment, the temperature inside the Immortal Cave was extremely hot, as if he were inside a volcano.

Thick cyan smoke rose from the golden Pill Furnace in front of Xiao Fan…

Xiao Fan's expression was solemn; he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

If a single step in the middle of refining a grade 6 pill went wrong, it could lead to the destruction of the entire batch of pills.

Another two hours passed…

Most of the spiritual energy in Xiao Fan's body had been consumed, all used to maintain the Spirit Protection Technique and protect the tens of thousands of spiritual materials inside…

And he was still far from forming the pill.

"Damn it, I didn't expect it to be this hard to refine." Xiao Fan gritted his teeth; he had underestimated the difficulty of refining a grade 6 pill.

It required not only a deep understanding of pharmacology but was also a great test of his own spiritual energy.

There was no need to mention the use of the Fire-Attribute Cultivation Technique.

It also required the use of the Spirit Protection Technique to protect the spiritual materials inside the Pill Furnace.

The consumption was too huge…

This was only because it was Xiao Fan; if it were anyone else, they probably would have given up long ago…

Another five hours passed…

Xiao Fan had been refining this batch of pills for a day and a night…

His spiritual energy had long since been exhausted, and he had just swallowed a Heaven And Earth Treasure to restore his spiritual energy… Otherwise, Xiao Fan would have collapsed long ago.

At this moment, on the huge Pill Furnace, besides the billowing cyan smoke, there was also thick, pungent black smoke.

The cyan smoke and black smoke coexisted, turning the Immortal Cave where Xiao Fan was located into a place shrouded in mist…

The rich medicinal fragrance and the pungent, strange odor coexisted.

Even though he used the Spirit Protection Technique, some spiritual materials were still burned by the high temperature…

However, fortunately, this batch of pills was finally about to succeed.

One hour later…

Xiao Fan opened the furnace, and the huge golden furnace lid flew up.

A rich medicinal fragrance emerged… and there were even faint anomalies appearing in the air.

It seemed to be an illusory strange beast, not very distinct, and it dissipated after existing only for a moment.

"It's a success…" Xiao Fan was overjoyed.

For pills of grade 6 and above, every time a pill was formed, an anomaly would be born; this was not a secret.

And the illusory strange beast from just now was the anomaly after the pill was formed…
