Chapter 64

"Back then, to successfully obtain this 'Bone Spirit Cold Fire,' I spent eight years in that dark and gloomy place. And at the final moment of absorption, even though I was well-prepared, I almost got burned to ashes by this damned thing..." Old Medicine sighed, shaking his head. A rare look of fear appeared on his usually calm old face, indicating that the experience had left a deep impression on him.

"Hehe, although it was extremely dangerous, getting this 'Bone Spirit Cold Fire' was worth it." Old Medicine proudly raised the white flame in his palm and said with a smile, "With the异火 (Mystic Fire), not only will the potency of the pills I refine be stronger, but when facing enemies, even opponents of the same level will not dare to clash with it head-on."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at the surging white flame with envy.

Seeing Xiao Yan's envious expression, Old Medicine chuckled, a cunning smile flashing across his face. He suddenly changed the subject, "The Mystic Fire is still far from you. For now, your greatest hope is to pray that you become a Fighter as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan nodded regretfully and had to temporarily put aside his desire for the Mystic Fire, bringing his mind back to reality.

Seeing Xiao Yan come to his senses, Old Medicine smiled slightly. The white flame in his palm surged, and tendrils of fire rose into the air before dissipating.

With his withered hand, he picked up a Black Leaf Lotus and gently tossed it into the flame.

The moment the Black Leaf Lotus touched the 'Bone Spirit Cold Fire,' it was instantly burned into a black liquid. The liquid slowly rolled in the flame, reflecting a faint luster.

The white flame surged more intensely, but Xiao Yan strangely noticed that the air outside the white flame was getting colder.

Old Medicine focused intently on controlling the temperature of the flame in his palm. At this moment, even the slightest increase in temperature would cause the black liquid to be burned into nothingness.

After maintaining the flame's temperature at a certain boundary, a bit of yellow impurity appeared in the black liquid.

Seeing the yellow impurity in the liquid, Old Medicine nodded slightly, flicked his finger, and expelled a small portion of the black liquid containing the impurity from the main body.

After expelling this yellow impurity, more small, light yellow impurities appeared one after another, and Old Medicine cleaned them all out without exception.

As the white flame continued to burn, the black liquid, originally the size of a small fist, had shrunk to the size of a thumb.

The deep black liquid slowly rolled in the white flame, like a black pearl, deep and mysterious.

After reducing the first Black Leaf Lotus to the size of a thumb, Old Medicine stopped the burning and added the other four, refining them into four pure black liquid pearls.

After a long burning by the 'Bone Spirit Cold Fire,' the five small liquids gradually merged. The merged liquid expanded significantly, but this phenomenon only lasted for a moment before it shrank back to its original size.

After rolling in the flame for a long time, even inside the black liquid, a white flame seemed to be flickering.

Seeing this, Old Medicine quickly grabbed the Snake Saliva Fruit from the table and threw it into the flame.

The moment the Snake Saliva Fruit entered the flame, it turned into a green liquid emitting a cold mist. Old Medicine rapidly removed the impurities from the green liquid and slowly covered the black liquid, which was entirely on fire.

"Zhi zhi..."

When the two liquids of different properties touched, a series of strange sounds immediately arose, and a faint white mist surged from the flame.

As the white mist gradually weakened, a rough pill prototype quietly appeared in the flame.

Looking calmly at the pill prototype, Old Medicine nodded slightly and added the Spirit Gathering Grass and a second-level water attribute magic core.

Burning into liquid, removing impurities, and merging... Old Medicine completed these intricate and meticulous steps in one smooth motion without any pause.

Seeing Old Medicine's smooth actions, even Xiao Yan, who was still a novice in alchemy, couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

After neutralizing the violent energy in the magic core with the Spirit Gathering Grass, a pale blue pure energy slowly infused the pill prototype.

When the last drop of blue energy entered the pill, the rough pill prototype was instantly smoothed out, and a faint blue luster appeared on its surface, making it look exquisite.

After completing these steps, Old Medicine did not immediately stop. He nurtured the pill in the flame for nearly ten minutes before the white flame in his palm slowly extinguished.

As the flame disappeared, Old Medicine's left hand quickly grabbed a jade bottle from the table and swiftly placed the slightly green and blue pill inside.

"Phew..." Taking a long breath, Old Medicine casually tossed the jade bottle to Xiao Yan and said indifferently, "Take a look."

Carefully catching the jade bottle, Xiao Yan sniffed it cautiously, and a familiar fragrance wafted out, invigorating his spirit.

Looking at the blue-green pill in the bottle, Xiao Yan, relying on his excellent soul perception, could vaguely tell that this Qi Gathering Powder was definitely of a higher grade and potency than the one Nalan Yanran had taken out last time!

Thinking of the condescending look and tone of that woman when she showed him the pill, Xiao Yan smiled lightly, a hint of ridicule in his smile.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan tightly held the cool jade bottle and took a deep breath. After three years, he could finally step back into that level...
