Chapter 463: Refining a High Grade Tier 7 Fire Bodhi Pill!
"Medicine storehouse? Father, Brother Wu, are you going to refine a pill?"
Hearing this, Tang Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling. He was just about to say something when Wu Tian beat him to it.
"That's right! I'm going to refine a Fire Bodhi Pill for you, little sister."
"Fire Bodhi Pill? Brother Wu, you're actually a high tier Tier 7 alchemist?"
Tang Huo'er's eyes lit up with excitement, gazing at Wu Tian with admiration.
"I suppose you could say that."
"Wow, Brother Wu, you're amazing! Do you have a cauldron? My father owns the Mountain Melting Cauldron, one of the top ranked cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron List!"
Tang Zhen's heart instantly shattered into pieces.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Wu Tian smirked slightly, turning to Tang Zhen.
"I didn't expect Valley Master Tang to have such a rare treasure. I must admit, I'm a little envious."
"Cough cough... It's nothing, really. If Venerable Yan doesn't have a suitable cauldron, I can lend you the Mountain Melting Cauldron."
"There's no need. I appreciate the offer, but as the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not covet what belongs to others.' Besides, I don't need a cauldron to refine pills."
Wu Tian's calm response struck Tang Zhen like a thunderclap.
"You don't need a cauldron? Does that mean… Venerable Yan, you're an eighth tier alchemist?"
Tang Zhen was stunned.
As someone with extensive knowledge of alchemists, he knew that only a rare few could refine pills without using a cauldron.
Even among eighth tier alchemists, this skill was exceedingly rare.
Could this young Pavilion Master… truly be at that level?
"You flatter me, Valley Master Tang. I'm not an eighth tier alchemist, but I do have my own special little tricks."
Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er were both left dumbfounded.
Not an eighth tier alchemist? Not a seventh tier either?
Then how the hell can he refine a Fire Bodhi Pill?!
Wu Tian clearly wasn't someone who would boast about something he couldn't do, so what exactly did he mean by "special tricks"…?
As they conversed, the three arrived at a large, rocky plaza surrounded by crimson volcanic stone.
Blazing Flame Valley was vast, with patches of lush greenery accentuated by bright red maple trees, creating a striking yet harmonious contrast.
Much like the Thunder Mountain of Wind and Thunder Pavilion, this area was deeply infused with its respective elemental energy.
In the center of the plaza, numerous figures in red robes stood frozen in place.
They had just witnessed their Valley Master hand over the sect's Heavenly Flame like a mere offering,
only for the man before them to casually devour it.
At the front of the gathering stood three elders, the high ranking figures of Blazing Flame Valley.
Wu Tian was well aware that the valley also had a hidden Supreme Elder, which was why he had borrowed the flame instead of taking it by force.
As Tang Zhen arrived with Wu Tian, the elders respectfully bowed and stepped aside.
Though they were elders, their strength barely reached the Dou Zong level, with the Grand Elder only at the peak of a one star Dou Zun.
Compared to the presence beside Tang Zhen, they were completely outmatched.
Standing at the center of the platform, Tang Zhen spoke solemnly.
"Venerable Yan, the Fire Bodhi Pill you are about to refine is a high tier Tier 7 pill. Here is the formula."
Wu Tian glanced at it, then waved a hand dismissively.
"As long as you've gathered the right ingredients, I'll take care of the rest."
"Of course. Fire'er, step outside. No one is to disturb us."
"Yes, Father!"
Tang Huo'er responded crisply, following orders without hesitation.
With everything set, Tang Zhen took a deep breath, then waved his sleeve.
Boom!
A vast collection of medicinal ingredients appeared in midair, floating above the stone platform.
Hundreds of different rare herbs hovered in an intricate formation, exuding a rich, potent fragrance.
To refine a high tier Tier 7 pill, one required not only powerful soul strength and absolute fire control but also an exceptional memory.
If one couldn't even remember the refining sequence, how could they possibly succeed?
As the ingredients filled the air, the scent of potent medicinal energy spread throughout the plaza.
Each of these materials was immensely valuable.
A Fire Bodhi Pill required some of the rarest ingredients in the world fitting for its rank.
Seeing the gathered materials, Tang Zhen's expression grew even more serious.
Failure was not an option.
Without his Heavenly Flame, he couldn't assist with the refinement.
All he could do was trust in Wu Tian.
Taking a deep breath, he nodded toward Wu Tian.
"Venerable Yan, if you're ready, please begin. I will stand guard for you."
The moment he finished speaking, he witnessed something that left him completely stunned.
Wu Tian waved a single hand
and in an instant, all the medicinal ingredients shot into the air.
Then
A flash of crimson light burst forth.
A dense medicinal fragrance filled the sky.
Before everyone's eyes
the herbs began to melt directly into a golden liquid, suspended midair.
"W What…?"
"This… This is the 'special little trick' he mentioned?"
"Brother Wu… No wonder you don't call yourself an alchemist. This isn't just alchemy it's something beyond that!"
Not just the elders
every single disciple of Blazing Flame Valley was left utterly shaken.
Even Wu Tian himself was slightly surprised.
This was his first time refining a high tier Tier 7 pill without instantly forming the shape of a pellet.
It seemed even his current level of control had limits.
But no matter he could still adjust.
Flames of deep crimson wrapped around the golden liquid, guiding the refining process.
Gradually, the liquid began to solidify.
Tang Zhen's breath caught.
He knew this sight well
This was the final step before the pill was formed.
"…It's only been three minutes."
Three. Minutes.
For a high tier Tier 7 pill.
Was this even humanly possible?!
Tang Zhen's mind buzzed.
Who was this Pavilion Master?
If he could refine a Tier 7 pill so easily
Then didn't that mean… eighth tier pills were also within his reach?
An eighth tier alchemist… was on equal footing with Dou Saints.
Like the three legendary figures of the Pill Tower.
Of course, those three were not only peak tier alchemists but also top tier powerhouses.
An eighth tier alchemist needed more than just fire control, memory, and soul strength
They needed to withstand the wrath of Pill Tribulation Lightning.
And now
The heavens began to respond.
BOOM!
Thunder rumbled across the sky.
A terrifying energy fluctuation rippled through the air.
"…Holy sh*t, it's already done?!"
"Damn it! Who dares disturb this old man's peaceful cultivation?!"
