The roars of Tigers and Dragons already echoed between heaven and earth, clearly audible throughout the entire peak.
"Looking at this phenomenon, Elder Xue's Alchemy skills must have improved again."
"He wouldn't be refining a Fourth-Grade Treasure Pill, would he? That would make him an Alchemy Grandmaster."
"Even his domain has been released; the Medicinal Pill being refined must be extraordinary."
Throughout the peak, Disciples and deacons discussed animatedly.
Everyone was quite curious.
Fu Tu looked at the Dragon and Tiger phenomenon on the peak's summit, his eyes thoughtful.
"Deacon Fu Tu, your Azure Serpent Blood Spirit Pill is ready."
The male True Disciple in white robes took out a wooden box.
Fu Tu reached out and took it, then asked,
"I wonder what Medicinal Pill Elder Xue is refining today?"
"I don't know that either."
The male True Disciple smacked his lips, saying ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) helplessly,
"Master never lets us watch when he refines Medicinal Pills with Junior Brother Xiaobao."
"So that's how it is."
Fu Tu nodded and turned to walk towards Zhenshou Peak.
......
Peak summit.
The surging flames in the Pill Furnace leaped and danced, like the steps of a devil~
Li Mo, draped in faceless glazed gauze, his face flushed by the firelight, had a deeper flame-like glow flickering on his body than the flames in the Pill Furnace.
Though the Inner Breath he refined was less than the furnace fire, it was superior in quality.
"Elder Xue, I'm fine."
Xiao Li indicated he could still increase the intensity.
Xue Jing narrowed his eyes, seeing Li Mo's body slightly red, yet fine, just like Tang Xiaobao. While he sighed in relief, his heart was filled with immense surprise.
This was more than what body tempering could achieve. freewebnoveℓ.com
Even if the blacksmiths from Shenbing Peak came, they wouldn't be able to withstand such high temperatures.
"Then, Old Man, I will now raise the furnace temperature."
"You must remember not to interrupt your cultivation."
"Good!"
Xue Jing formed a Pill Incantation.
The Dragons and Tigers coiled on the Pill Furnace actually began to move slowly, as if alive.
The temperature rose again.
"Junior Brother Li."
Tang Xiaobao spoke beside him.
"Hmm?"
"If you really can't control it and get burned later, just lick me a couple of times."
"......"
Li Mo looked at his serious little face, finding it a bit hard to bring himself to do it.
"No one has ever entered a Pill Furnace with me before."
Tang Xiaobao's face showed emotion:
"If your method works, and we cultivate together later, I'll have a chance to complete my acupoints. Being licked by you is nothing."
"This, this is the bond between you and me!"
"......Alright, I understand."
Li Mo didn't know how to refuse.
Because it inexplicably felt a little ignited.......
"Cultivate."
"Mm!"
Tang Xiaobao practiced an Alchemy method.
Li Mo also closed his eyes and cultivated.
Fully circulating the "Karma Fire Red Lotus Mystical Method" made him appear like a ball of flame.
The Golden Crow Blood hidden in his kidney boiled at this moment, adding fuel to the fire.
The temperature inside the furnace did not rise.
But with his Inner Breath infused, the fire's color became noticeably deeper.
The essences extracted from the herbs Xue Jing had just thrown in also became purer in quality.
Seeing that both of them were fine and even complemented each other.
Xue Jing took a Qing Xin Pill given by Li Mo, waiting for the herbs to be refined.
This was only the first step.
More than half an hour passed.
Marinating to flavor... Oh no, the uniform distribution of medicinal power stage ended.
This time, the golden glow on Tang Xiaobao's body was even brighter than before. He opened his sparkling eyes and said happily,
"Master, Junior Brother Li, I feel so comfortable."
"Hoo... It was a bit uncomfortable."
Li Mo was fine, but he was truly hot, feeling like he was burning up.
But the effect was indeed good.
The Golden Crow Blood hidden in his body was almost completely refined.
The lotus in his Dantian also slowly opened a petal.
"I'm going to the next step."
Xue Jing said in a deep voice.
"Mm!"
Elder Xue gave him a long time to adapt.
With the experience of refining herbs just now, Li Mo knew how to use his Inner Breath to cooperate with the dragon-tiger pill furnace.
"Good!"
A bucket of Black Fiend Wood Oil was added.
Added for about... ten seconds?
The temperature indeed rose considerably immediately.
Li Mo frowned.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Xue Jing immediately asked.
Li Mo: "......Promise me, Elder Xue, next time Ying Bing comes to you for ingredients, you absolutely must not give them to her."
Xue Jing was stunned for a moment.
What? He had never given her ingredients.
Ying Bing had indeed come before and asked if Black Fiend Wood Oil could be eaten. Who would have thought she would use it for cooking?
Uh, anyway, it's good that Li Mo is fine.....
The opportunity was fleeting.
Next was Fusion, the most crucial step in Alchemy!
"Come on!"
Tang Xiaobao shouted solemnly.
"I'm ready!"
Li Mo's expression was equally serious.
Boom—
The temperature soared.
At close range, he smelled that Pill fragrance again, only this time it was ten or even a hundred times more intense, making one feel like they would Ascend to Immortal Ascension just by smelling it.
Tang Xiaobao was enveloped by various purified medicinal powers.
Those medicinal powers surged and rolled, slowly merging into his body with the flames mixed with Li Mo's Inner Breath.
Under the scorching flames, he was like a little golden boy cast from pure gold.
What surprised Li Mo was that the Karma Fire did not cause Tang Xiaobao any discomfort.
Perhaps it was because....
Karma Fire only had that extremely fierce destructive power against evil beings?
But Li Mo still dared not be careless, his perception, honed from Shang Wu, still closely monitored the changes in his Inner Breath.
"Hoo...."
At the same time, Li Mo also diligently maintained the circulation of the "Karma Fire Red Lotus Mystical Method."
Finally.....
It's coming!
Various colors of light surged on Tang Xiaobao's body, encircled by Dragon and Tiger golden light.
His small body gradually dissolved, or rather, was absorbed by his heart.
Li Mo finally saw clearly.
That was Senior Brother Xiaobao's true form.
A Golden Core, flowing with Dao charm, exhibiting myriad phenomena, and incredibly vast!
The Golden Core had a total of seven orifices.
And at this moment, one orifice was slowly opening up under the infusion of various medicinal powers.
"Master, still a bit more effort!"
The Golden Core vibrated slightly, and Tang Xiaobao's anxious voice came out.
Xue Jing was not an Alchemy Grandmaster after all.
He had already given his all.
He could only watch helplessly as the eighth orifice, which had already opened a sliver, slowly began to close again.
"I'll do it!"
The flames crackled loudly.
It was our Autumn Water Pavilion's best chef, Ziyang Prefecture's number one hotpot king—Master Li!
The initial mastery stage of the Karma Fire Red Lotus Mystical Method was utilized to its extreme by him.
Is this martial arts?
No, this was hundreds of years of insights he had poured into it!
In his Dantian, the lotus petal that had just opened swayed, and he had just consumed another drop of Golden Crow Blood.
RNM, it's ignited!
Boom—
The Pill Furnace lid spun and flew into the sky once again.
The roaring Dragon and Tiger phenomenon also became even more real at this moment.
"Is it... is it done...?"
Xue Jing slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the Pill Furnace.
However, the phenomenon was too turbulent, exceeding the control of his domain.
"Xiaobao!"
"Xiao Mo!"
He called out twice.
After a few seconds, a reply came from within.
"Master, I've achieved Mystic Core!"
Tang Xiaobao's surprised voice came through.
This meant he had opened another orifice.
One step closer to the true Nine-Orifice Golden Core.
However, before Xue Jing could be overjoyed.
Li Mo's puzzled voice came:
"Uh... Elder Xue, I seem to have also achieved Mystic Core...?"
"No..."
"Senior Brother Xiaobao became my Mystic Core?!"
Xue Jing: "?"
What the hell?
______
PS: Senior Brother Xiaobao has no gender.
