"Miss Tang, no need for such formalities."
Elder Mi Yuan smiled faintly, "I have heard about Miss Tangâs situation. Come, let me first help you refine a Seventh Grade Pill."
"Thatâs wonderful! Thank you, Elder Mi Yuan!" Tang Yuyan was overjoyed and quickly expressed her gratitude, promptly following behind Elder Mi Yuan.
"Elder Mi Yuan actually agreed to refine a pill for me! Is this a dream? The Tang Family is saved!" Tang Yuyan was ecstatic, her heart pounding wildly.
At this moment, Tang Yuyan was afraid it was all a dream.
Even now, Tang Yuyan couldnât believe it was really happening.
Noticing Tang Yuyanâs tension and unease, Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly, "Relax, donât be afraid, everything will be fine."
"Iâm not afraid," Tang Yuyan quickly smiled, "I just feel itâs unreal, like a dream, and Iâm afraid of waking up."
"I never thought the Grand Elder of the Star Ancient Sect would meet me in person, let alone that Elder Mi Yuan would be willing to help me refine a Seventh Grade Pill."
Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly, "This is not a dream, itâs all real."
After a short while.
Elder Mi Yuan led Tang Yuyan and Gu Chenfeng to an imposing palace.
"Is this Elder Mi Yuanâs palace?" Dugu Cheng thought to himself, "What a terrifying aura of Elixir, truly worthy of the legendary Ninth Grade Alchemist."
On the other hand, Tang Yuyan stood there nervously, unsure where to place her hands and feet.
Tang Yuyan was extremely cautious, not daring to breathe loudly, fearing sheâd do something wrong and Elder Mi Yuan would refuse to refine the pill for her.
As they entered the palace.
Elder Mi Yuan waved his hand, and an Immortal Artifact Refining Furnace appeared, exuding an incredibly powerful aura.
"Grand Elder, I have already prepared the medicinal materials," Tang Yuyan said respectfully, quickly turning her jade-like hand, causing dozens of herbs to appear in her palm out of thin air.
Looking at the herbs in Tang Yuyanâs hand, Elder Mi Yuan nodded slightly, saying, "Not bad, the quality of these herbs is excellent, enough to refine a Top Grade Seventh Grade Pill."
Having said that, Elder Mi Yuan formed hand seals, and a powerful Soul Power surged out instantly, enveloping the Immortal Artifact Refining Furnace.
The Soul Power, as tangible as it seemed, emitted a brilliant light, leaving Tang Yuyan and Dugu Cheng dumbfounded.
"This Soul Power is terrifying!" Dugu Cheng couldnât help but exclaim in a low voice, eyes wide, mouth slightly open, filled with disbelief.
Tang Yuyan was also shocked, thinking to herself, "Truly an outstanding Ninth Grade Alchemist, the control over Soul Power is simply masterful."
Neither Dugu Cheng nor Tang Yuyan had ever seen a Ninth Grade Alchemist refining pills before.
The overwhelming and formidable Soul Power was beyond their imagination.
Elder Mi Yuanâs expression was solemn, concentrating fully on controlling the Soul Power, then activating the terrifying Immortal Fire to preheat the Refining Furnace.
Not long after.
Under the influence of Soul Power and Immortal Fire, the Refining Furnace gradually heated up, emitting a searing aura.
Then, Elder Mi Yuan waved his hand, and the medicinal materials in Tang Yuyanâs hand flew into the Refining Furnace.
Elder Mi Yuanâs actions were smooth and swift, without a trace of hesitation.
"Boom!"
A burst of intense light erupted inside the Refining Furnace, with flames blazing high, beginning to calcine the materials inside.
Elder Mi Yuanâs eyes focused, constantly adjusting the temperature and intensity of the flames, mastering the control with precision.
Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "Truly remarkable."
"The control over the heat is absolutely exquisite, far beyond the reach of an Eighth-Grade Alchemist!" Tang Yuyan thought, her eyes unwaveringly fixed on the Refining Furnace, afraid of missing any detail.
Though not an Alchemist, Tang Yuyan had considerable knowledge about Alchemy.
As time passed, the aura inside the Refining Furnace grew increasingly strong, causing the surrounding space to quiver slightly.
Elder Mi Yuan remained composed, his hands steady, continuously channeling Soul Power into the Refining Furnace.
Dugu Cheng, staring at the Refining Furnace, felt an overwhelming sense of anticipation, "A Ninth Grade Alchemist refining a Seventh Grade Pill, the quality must be exceptionally high."
Tang Yuyan clasped her hands together, silently praying for the successful completion of the Alchemy.
After another ten minutes or so.
The Refining Furnace began to emit the fragrance of Elixir, its aura growing increasingly powerful.
"The fragrance of Elixir! Itâs going to succeed!" Tang Yuyan rejoiced inwardly.
"A Ninth Grade Alchemist is truly terrifying!" Dugu Cheng thought, both shocked and exhilarated, "Refining a Seventh Grade Pill seems so easy, whereas for a Seventh Grade Alchemist, it would take at least a whole day."
"Elder Mi Yuanâs refinement of a Seventh Grade Pill hasnât even taken half an hour, truly terrifying!"
As time advanced another ten minutes.
Elder Mi Yuan had completed the Nascent Soul stage, with the aura of Elixir emanating from the Refining Furnace already immensely powerful.
Yet at this moment.
The sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, with lightning and thunder raging.
Terrifying bolts of Celestial Thunder began striking towards the palace.
"Oh no, itâs Pill Thunder!" Dugu Cheng exclaimed in shock, "A Seventh Grade Pill has attracted Pill Thunder! This Elixir is indeed too powerful!"
"Itâs actually Pill Thunder!" Tang Yuyan was equally stunned.
Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "The power of Pill Thunder is indeed strong, suggesting that this Elixir is truly formidable."
Elder Mi Yuan wasnât the least bit flustered; mere Pill Thunder from a Seventh Grade Pill was nothing to him.
With a cold snort, Elder Mi Yuan waved his sleeve, unleashing an unparalleled terrifying power that instantly dispelled the Celestial Thunder.
"Hiss!"
Feeling the terrifying power of Elder Mi Yuan and the sudden vanishing of the Pill Thunder, Tang Yuyan and Dugu Cheng inhaled sharply in shock.
At this point, the Refining Furnace began to tremble violently, with an immensely powerful Elixir aura emanating from within.
"Pill Formation!" Elder Mi Yuan shouted lowly, forming seals with his hands again, increasing the output of Soul Power.
"Bang!"
With a wave of Elder Mi Yuanâs hand, the lid of the Refining Furnace opened abruptly, and a Seventh Grade Pill emitting powerful aura flew out.
"This... The aura of this Elixir is too powerful! Even the aura of an Eighth Grade Pill isnât this terrifying, is it?" Dugu Cheng couldnât help but retreat a few steps, his face filled with shock.
Tang Yuyan also opened her eyes wide, staring blankly at the Seventh Grade Pill, as if forgetting to breathe.
Looking at the newly formed Seventh Grade Pill, Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "The quality of the Elixir is exceedingly high; Elder Mi Yuanâs Alchemy is becoming more powerful."
Receiving praise from Gu Chenfeng, Elder Mi Yuan was inwardly ecstatic.
Elder Mi Yuan then waved his hand, and the Seventh Grade Pill flew towards Tang Yuyan.
Tang Yuyan quickly reached out to catch it, feeling the powerful energy contained within the Elixir, shaking with excitement.
"Thank you, Elder Mi Yuan!" Tang Yuyan repeatedly bowed in gratitude, tears glistening in her eyes.
Elder Mi Yuan smiled and said, "No need for thanks, young lady. This Seventh Grade Pill has extremely strong effects, enough to help you break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm."
