Chapter 233: Broken Evil Pill

The medicinal materials needed for Sixth-Rank pills were indeed hard to find, and only forces like the Yunlan Sect had a few, though not many.

Xiao Yan took out his medicine cauldron—Earth Heart—from his storage ring, then reached out and summoned a ball of white flame into his palm.

As soon as the white flame appeared, the entire secret room was filled with the aura of life. Some seeds that had drifted in from who knows where quickly began to take root and sprout, and in a short while, they were crawling all over the secret room, looking very spectacular.

"This is too exaggerated!" Xiao Yan looked at the Yang Fire, whose life aura was far stronger than before, and widened his eyes. He had only been testing it on purpose, never expecting it to have such great power.

"Such a rich life aura, what exactly is he doing inside?" Hai Bodong, outside the secret room, suddenly smelled the aura that intoxicated him, and felt all the cells in his body become active.

In an instant, Hai Bodong really wanted to rush in and absorb this scent that fascinated him. However, his hand had just reached the doorknob when he pulled it back, and he could only pace back and forth outside anxiously.

"Refining medicine requires absolute confidence. You succeeded the second time precisely because your confidence was insufficient, thinking you would fail, which led to the failure. Collect your mind, continue refining, and treat it as refining an Energy Accumulation Pill!" Yao Lao criticized.

Suddenly, an energy ripple began to spread from the center of the pill, then spread rapidly in all directions.

Xiao Yan started the fire again, refined the medicinal materials, fused them, and soon a pill embryo appeared in the medicine cauldron.

"Hehe, nothing! Just waiting for you to recover your strength so we can spar again!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly and threw the pill directly to Hai Bodong.

The second refining was faster than the first, but because of a tiny error during fusion, it led to failure again!

Just at this moment, the door was suddenly opened. Xiao Yan walked out from inside, looked at the anxious Hai Bodong, and smiled slightly: "So impatient?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately used his soul power to condense a light barrier, wrapping this energy ripple within it.

The energy ripple made a harsh sound upon contact with the light barrier, then disappeared.

Continuing to warm it with Exotic Fire for a while, the pill gradually became round, and a purple pill appeared in his field of vision. At the same time, the entire secret room was filled with pill fragrance.

Embarrassed, he withdrew his hand, and Hai Bodong laughed dryly: "Little brother's alchemy level is truly breathtaking! Even the Pill King Gu He of the Gama Empire would be inferior to you by half a step."

"Not bad, I think this pill can not only remove Hai Bodong's seal but also make him much younger." Xiao Yan's mouth revealed a smile, smelling the pill that emitted a rich life aura, and said with a faint smile.

Yao Lao was very right; Xiao Yan's first time refining a Sixth-Rank pill, his heart was indeed very unsettled.

"Broken Evil Pill? As far as I know, the Broken Evil Pill doesn't seem to have such terrifying effects!" Hai Bodong looked puzzled.

The Broken Evil Pill only had the effect of breaking seals or being immune to some seals; apart from that, it had no other effects, let alone increasing lifespan.

But now, he needed to add more chips again. However, in the face of longevity, Hai Bodong was clearly shaken. He sighed and said: "Little brother, feel free to make any other requests! As long as it's not too excessive, I will agree!"

One moment he was thinking about becoming a Sixth-Rank Alchemist and surpassing Gu He, the next he was worried about gains and losses, feeling that if he didn't refine it successfully, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

Hearing this, Hai Bodong felt a toothache. For this Broken Evil Pill, he had already agreed to accompany Xiao Yan to the Imperial Capital. Hai Bodong had a premonition that the trip to the Imperial Capital would definitely not be simple.

The first refining failed, but Xiao Yan didn't lose heart. After all, didn't Yao Lao fail the first time in the original work?

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao discussed the ratio of medicinal materials seriously, then continued with the second refining.

However, fortunately, this scent came quickly and disappeared quickly, otherwise, Hai Bodong would have truly felt he might not be able to resist rushing in.

Looking at the plants starting to grow in the secret room again, Xiao Yan hurriedly put the pill into a specially made small jade bottle.

However, perhaps the ratio of medicinal materials was wrong, and during the fusion, it turned directly into ashes.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan exhaled a turbid breath, then sat cross-legged, and after his heart was completely calm, Xiao Yan stood up.

"Of course it's the Broken Evil Pill, what other pill could it be!" Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong, a flash of cunning in his eyes.

"Uh... hehe, what kind of pill did you refine? Why does it smell so intoxicating, it seems... it seems to have the effect of increasing lifespan and rejuvenating one's youth." Hai Bodong laughed dryly. At this moment, if it weren't for fearing Xiao Yan's strength, he would have truly wanted to snatch it!

Xiao Yan withdrew the fire from the medicine cauldron, then reached out and summoned a pill that was purple all over with strange patterns on the surface into his hand.

In the secret room, Xiao Yan followed the steps given by the pill recipe, began to refine the medicinal materials, and after all the materials were refined, he began to fuse the pill.

He looked calmly at the Broken Evil Pill in the medicine cauldron, as if it weren't a Broken Evil Pill, but a First-Rank Energy Accumulation Pill.

"It won't really not be refined, right? Should I let Teacher do it!" Xiao Yan failed twice in a row and became somewhat unconfident. After all, there was only one last portion of medicinal materials left, and it wouldn't be easy to explain if he failed again.

Hai Bodong outside the door smelled the scent that haunted his dreams again, anxious to the point of madness. He truly couldn't resist anymore, put his hand directly on the doorknob, and wanted to open the door.

"Ordinary Broken Evil Pills naturally can't, but mine can." Xiao Yan smiled, then opened the bottle cap a tiny bit, and the intoxicating scent filled the whole room again.

"Stop saying useless things. You've felt the effect of the pill. Not only can it break the seal on your body, but it can also make you rejuvenate. Tell me, what should you pay?" Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong and said.

Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan had completely returned to normal and breathed a sigh of relief. Alchemy most feared being half-hearted. With Xiao Yan's previous state, let alone a Sixth-Rank pill, even a Fourth-Rank could have failed.

Hai Bodong smelled the familiar scent again and subconsciously wanted to take it, but Xiao Yan put it away directly.

"What? It's that simple?" Hai Bodong carefully took the pill and looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief. He had thought Xiao Yan would make some excessive request.

"Hurry and break the seal! I'm waiting for you to spar with me! I've been waiting to try out my gains! I haven't encountered a suitable opponent, and my hands are truly itching." Xiao Yan said impatiently.
