Su Qingxuan quickly prepared all the materials. This was also the last full set of materials she had left. If she failed again this time, it would take quite an effort to gather these materials anew.
Therefore, this final attempt must be flawless. Su Qingxuan absolutely could not afford a single mistake.
After placing all the materials on the nearby material table, Su Qingxuan began to process the various alchemy materials using the techniques she was skilled in.
Around half an hour later, Su Qingxuan finally started to activate the Array beneath the Pill Furnace. A faint purple flame rose from the Array, beginning to preheat the furnace.
Ling Feng saw a pair of fair hands swiftly moving, one by one, inserting the ingredients needed for the Purple Light Dust Pill into the furnace.
Although Su Qingxuan’s technique was a bit slow during the material purification process, her fire control skills were noteworthy.
As the materials entered the furnace and transformed into a crystal-clear medicinal liquid, Su Qingxuan continuously formed hand seals, and the medicinal properties within the liquid began to merge with each other. Every fire seal she struck made Ling Feng’s eyes light up.
Ling Feng’s own fire control skills were based on his own research, further perfected through the true teachings of Yan Cangtian, having learned the "Skyfire Avenue Technique." This Technique was already quite a rare fire control skill, and after studying it, even the manipulation of his Fire-element True Qi had become much purer.
However, after witnessing Su Qingxuan’s technique, Ling Feng realized that there were always higher skies beyond one’s own, and greater talents beyond oneself.
Perhaps Su Qingxuan’s technique still seemed somewhat unpolished, but it already showed the air of a grandmaster-level practitioner of the Alchemy Dao.
It seemed that Su Qingxuan’s father was definitely a highly remarkable Pill Master. If given the chance, Ling Feng would indeed like to meet that master in person.
In the blink of an eye, Su Qingxuan had already liquefied all the materials. Then with a wave of her bare hand, the furnace lid was closed. Next, Ling Feng witnessed an even more sophisticated fire technique—fire seals being struck upon the furnace, completely ignoring the fire control Array below.
"Such formidable True Qi Fire she wields!" Ling Feng’s eyes sparkled with surprise. Su Qingxuan’s Fire Attribute True Qi must definitely be of Spiritual Attribute, or else it couldn’t have such an effect.
"Wow, haha!" Just at that moment, the voice of Zi Feng echoed in his mind, "Master, you’re rather naive. This is one of the top-ranking Abnormal Fires among various kinds—Purple Flame Sky Fire, even more powerful than your Earth Core Fire!"
"Purple Flame Sky Fire!" Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched. Yan Cangtian had once mentioned to him some of the Abnormal Fires most coveted by Alchemists. His own Earth Core Fire, although already quite rare, was ranked just over fifty, whereas the Purple Flame Sky Fire ranked within the top twenty on the Abnormal Fire List!
Indeed, it was a big world, full of people with their own fortunes. His Earth Core Fire was already quite good, but others might have the chance to obtain even more precious Spiritual Attributes.
As Ling Feng’s cultivation grew higher, his Earth Core Fire’s status as a top-grade Spiritual Attribute appeared less and less advantageous.
It seemed it was time to find some rarer Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items, whether Fire Attribute or other attributes. He mustn’t waste his physique capable of unlimited Spiritual Injection!
Ling Feng silently admired it all while keeping his eyes fixed on every movement of Su Qingxuan. She seemed to have found her optimal rhythm, the entire process running as smoothly as flowing clouds and water.
Time trickled away. As a Fourth-rank Alchemist, Su Qingxuan’s performance had already greatly surprised Ling Feng.
Finally, Su Qingxuan began the process of solidifying the pill. Following a sharp cry, she pinched a Hand Formation, and the furnace suddenly opened, a beam of purple radiance shooting into the sky.
Su Qingxuan’s hands rapidly shifted through various seals, a powerful absorption force capturing a clump of purple light and drawing out the round Elixir from within the furnace.
In an instant, a unique fragrance spread through the air, and Ling Feng nodded, feeling no doubt. Su Qingxuan’s Purple Light Dust Pill had been successfully refined.
"Seal!"
Su Qingxuan’s bare hands flicked through the air, and between the graceful movements, she had already stored the elixir inside the jade box.
"What a beautiful technique!" Ling Feng exclaimed.
After three breaths, Su Qingxuan opened the jade box and looked at the round and plump elixir lying inside. She was as excited as a child, almost jumping up.
"Success! This is great, I finally succeeded!"
That crystal-clear elixir emitted a misty purple aura, dreamlike and illusory; it was undoubtedly a perfect Purple Light Dust Pill!
"Congratulations to Master Su on the successful refinement!" Ling Feng approached Su Qingxuan to offer his congratulations.
"Thank you, Ling Feng!" Su Qingxuan excitedly looked at Ling Feng. Without his help, even if she had been given another half a year, she might not have succeeded.
"This is all the result of Master Su’s own refining. You actually had already completed the missing three ingredients. I just lent a tiny bit of help," Ling Feng humbly said with a smile.
Su Qingxuan gave Ling Feng a look—what he referred to as a "tiny bit of help" was the key to refining the Purple Light Dust Pill.
With lightly parted red lips, Su Qingxuan didn’t hesitate to swallow the elixir.
Although from appearances, this elixir was certainly a success, the true effectiveness could only be known after personally trying it to see if there were any deviations.
Upon entering her mouth, the elixir melted immediately. The medicine flowed down her throat, and then Su Qingxuan’s entire body seemed to be wrapped in a gentle purple light. A warm current flowed through her limbs and body, and she almost let out a moan, the sensation was so incredibly soothing.
Next, the strength of the medicine turned into several streams of Primordial Qi Dragons, circling within the Dan Tian Energy Sea. Su Qingxuan quickly directed that True Qi and began to assault the next level of her cultivation.
In just ten breaths’ time, Su Qingxuan opened her eyes once more; she had actually broken through a minor realm by simply consuming a fifth-tier Elixir!
It was known that she was already at the Seventh-level of the Origin Transformation Realm and had now advanced to the Eighth Level! (PS: As a reminder, the more gifted the individual, the more energy they would need to break through each layer. Su Qingxuan, who possessed the Purple Flame Sky Fire, was certainly not an ordinary person. Her Eighth Level of Origin Transformation Realm could easily trounce dozens of ordinary individuals at the Peak.)
"My heavens, is this really the effect of a fifth-tier Elixir?" Su Qingxuan’s eyes reflected an incredulous look; the effectiveness seemed at least two or three times higher than what was recorded in ancient texts!
Perfect!
Absolutely perfect!
"How... how did you do it, refining an Ancient Pill Recipe to such perfection!" Su Qingxuan looked at Ling Feng with a face full of shock, her heart churning with waves of amazement.
This young man, he was a genius Alchemist on par with her own father!
Ling Feng simply smiled lightly. If he were the one refining, with the addition of Elixir Patterns, the effectiveness could probably be increased by another fifty percent. But of course, Ling Feng wouldn’t use such demoralizing words, simply responding with a modest smile, "Maybe it was just a fluke. I didn’t really think it through that much, heh heh..."
Seeing Ling Feng pretend to be oblivious, Su Qingxuan really felt an urge to pin him down and give him a thrashing. Was such an Ancient Pill Recipe that easy to stumble upon? Why couldn’t she stumble upon such luck?
However, Su Qingxuan had finally succeeded in refining the Purple Light Dust Pill and even surprisingly broke through a minor realm, putting her in an excellent mood. She didn’t bother probing deeper with Ling Feng, smilingly saying, "Chief Ling, refining the Purple Light Dust Pill owes much to your great merit. Once my father returns and passes on his exclusive Fire Control Skill to me, I will surely teach it to you!"
"Then I’ll thank Master Su in advance." Ling Feng immediately bowed in thanks to Su Qingxuan. Her fire control skills were already impressive, which indicated how high her father’s level must be.
After all, being the Honorary Guild Master of the Alchemy Master Guild, he naturally was a top-notch Alchemist of the Yan Cangtian caliber. Even though Ling Feng himself had reached the level of a Sixth-tier Alchemist, he still had much to learn from these elders.
