The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 429: Pill Condensation!

Just when the elders of the Alchemist Guild believed that the medicinal properties of the blue ice were lost after it vaporized and that Ling Feng's pill was doomed to fail, Ling Feng suddenly did something unexpected.

Raising his right hand, true qi completely opposite to his Earth-Fire true qi emerged, spreading a cold aura above the cauldron.

The white mist formed from the vaporized blue ice immediately condensed into ice crystals, falling back into the cauldron like snow.

At the moment when the cauldron's heat and the cold air above it converged, Ling Feng swiftly closed the lid. The blue ice crystals spread evenly inside the cauldron, turning into extremely hot steam.

As time passed, the blue ice crystals melted completely, and the steam condensed under the high temperature, forming small air currents swirling inside the cauldron that made soft "bang bang bang" sounds as they collided.

None of the medicinal properties of the blue ice were lost!

"This... this is..."

Hong Haotian's eyes twitched wildly. He suddenly recalled reading about a particular alchemical method in an ancient book: The Ice and Fire Alternating Tempering Method!

This tempering method had much higher prerequisites than ordinary alchemical techniques. After all, ninety percent of alchemists were fire-type practitioners, and it was exceedingly rare for someone to cultivate both water and fire or ice and fire.

The elders who had thought Ling Feng had failed were all stunned.

Can such a mysterious alchemical method really exist?

Through alternating heat and cold, even the tiniest impurities in the blue ice would be completely removed!

If the pill was successfully refined, it would undoubtedly be a top-grade pill with no impurities.

"Where on earth did this boy learn such an alchemical method?"

"This is the Ice and Fire Alternating Tempering Method! I've read about it in ancient books, but I never thought anyone could actually perform it!"

The elders' eyes glowed with excitement. A genius with advanced fire-attributed spirit-infused true qi now also displayed remarkable water-attributed spirit-infused true qi!

Their feelings at this moment were indescribable.

Especially He Taichong, who clenched his fists tightly. He was now utterly convinced. Reflecting on what Ling Feng had said to him before, he realized it was true.

This young man, though young, has far surpassed me in alchemy and absolutely has the right to lecture me!

Being a fifth-grade alchemist was merely a threshold. Thinking about how he had been content with the present and blind to the broader world all these years was laughable.

"Brother Yan, is this young man really your student?" Hong Haotian took a deep breath, turned to Yan Cangtian, and asked solemnly.

"In some ways, he can be considered half my student. But in terms of alchemy, we've always learned from each other." Yan Cangtian's expression was serious, and his eyes also showed a hint of envy.

He had also read about the Ice and Fire Alternating Tempering Method in books, but he didn't have Ling Feng's innate conditions, making it impossible for him to use such a method.

"I see..."

Hong Haotian took a deep breath and looked at Ling Feng again. This young man, who seemed almost too young, appeared even more mysterious in his eyes.

Boom!

As time passed, a series of dense muffled sounds emanated from the Six-legged Taotie Cauldron. Ling Feng's eyes gleamed, knowing that the time was right. The cauldron was filled with high-temperature blue ice steam, making it the perfect moment to refine the medicinal pill.

In the next moment, Ling Feng swiftly lifted the cauldron lid and, with lightning speed, threw all the prepared materials inside.

The materials quickly melted into a transparent liquid upon encountering the high-temperature steam. Under Ling Feng's precise control, they began to merge one by one.

From a distance, it looked like flowing flames. The high-temperature blue ice steam continuously merged with these flowing flames. As the countless materials fused, the turmoil in the cauldron began to stabilize. The high-temperature steam fused with the medicinal liquid and gave it a faint blue hue.

Seeing the timing was perfect, Ling Feng held the cauldron lid with his right hand and flicked the last medicinal ingredient into the cauldron with his left hand, and then firmly closed the lid.

Thud!

With a muffled sound, Ling Feng started pouring out his true qi, increasing the firepower of the Six Yang True Fire array. The entire Six-legged Taotie Cauldron glowed slightly red under the intense heat.

This alchemical method was undoubtedly a bit rough and violent, as if it was aiming to incinerate all the medicinal residue. How could such a method produce a medicinal pill?

However, since Ling Feng had already performed so many unexpected actions, the old alchemists kept silent, not daring to comment hastily lest they be proven wrong again.

Even Elder Hua clenched his fists, silently cursing, "Fail! Fail! Fail!"

The process of condensing this pill was quite lengthy.

Half an hour!

An hour!

Two hours!

Two whole hours passed, yet none of the Alchemist Guild elders left. They watched Ling Feng's every move intently, afraid to miss any details.

During these two hours, Ling Feng continuously refined the pill with intense fire. By now, there were no more collision sounds from the cauldron. The high-temperature steam had been completely absorbed by the medicinal liquid and transformed into a faint blue flame that danced inside the cauldron.

"All of the medicinal properties have perfectly merged. Next is the shape condensing process."

Ling Feng took a deep breath. Two hours of intense fire control had left him mentally exhausted.

After all, refining a seventh-tier ancient medicinal pill required utmost precision.

"Time to condense the pill!"

"Can this young man succeed on his first attempt?"

Everyone's attention sharpened. They held their breath and watched the cauldron without blinking.

Slightly retracting his true qi, the temperature of the Six Yang True Fire array gradually decreased. Ling Feng's eyes flashed with determination, and he finally shouted, "Pill condensation!"
