Chapter 329 Chapter 329 – Nascent Soul Restoration Pill

?Ken and his parents left the living room in favor of Mei's training room. It was the room where she trained and practiced her alchemy, while Haoran had his own training room on the other side of the inscribed wall.

"Dad, Mom, stand over there and don't interrupt me. I need my whole focus to concoct a seventh-rank pill."

Ken pointed at a corner and the two stood there. Haoran did not know much about Alchemy, but he was curious to see a seventh-rank pill being made, especially by the hands of his own son. Even if he couldn't learn much from the experience, it'd at least broaden his horizons.

Ken took a deep breath and exhaled it out before sitting in the center of the room. Items floated outside his ring and arranged themselves on the floor, creating formations to aid with the process to come.

The runes glowed on the ground, sucking the Qi out of the many high Qi stones Ken used to keep them running.

They came in many shapes – first was the most basic formation used almost under every circumstance, the Qi Gathering Formation, which worked to pull more Qi into the room. Since it was a training room, it was already inscribed, but Ken still had to take its triangle into consideration while drawing the next ones.

Next was a formation in the form of a pentagon. The stones and flower powder made it seem glistening in red hues. It was the Noise Cancelation Formation, and its role was to prevent the noise of the bustling city from entering the training room, another formation that already existed.

The third formation, however, he had to draw himself. Four rhombuses were inscribed in his four cardinal directions – north, south, east, and west. He himself stood inside a circle along with his eighth-grade Golden Sun Cauldron which he won in the Library of Eternal Wisdom in the secret realm many years ago.

In each rhombus surrounding Ken was a seventh-grade cauldron, waiting silently to be used. Before starting his concoction, he took out a Qi Absorption Pill and a Mind Sharpening Pill. The former was meant to increase his Qi reserves while the latter's job was to enhance his mind activity, giving him an easier time managing so many details.

"What kind of formation is that?" Haoran asked his wife, expecting her to know enough about Alchemy.

"I have no idea, I have never seen someone use five cauldrons simultaneously before," she whispered back.

It was only natural they could not recognize the mysterious technique. It was none other than the Automatic Manufacturing technique taught by Galen, the elder of the Bloodthirst Sect. However, Ken made a few tweaks, changing it to help him in a different way than its original purpose.

Now, fully prepared, Ken placed all the ingredients he would need on the floor in front of him, organizing them in portions by the order they would go in the cauldrons.

"Now, watch the miracle," Ken announced.

However, processing the seventh-grade materials was too demanding, and he had to do it in the absence of a domain, lest his intent would waver before the completion of the procedure.

"Sorry, room," he mumbled to himself.

The next instant, the four supporting cauldrons rose in the air and started floating toward him along the lines of the formations. He led them carefully, not letting them deviate from the lines even by a millimeter.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Explosions followed the cauldrons as the formations crumbled, but Ken remained focused, guiding the cauldrons just fast enough to outrun the explosions but not too fast which might cause other trouble.

When the cauldrons finally reached the central circle, they all rested on its border, leaving behind a scorched room on the verge of collapse.

Now, the Golden Sun Cauldron was in the center of the circle surrounded by the other four. It opened in four directions, revealing the sight of a burning fire with a mass of essences that radiated different lights as it rotated above.

The other cauldrons were opened too, in the direction of the Golden Sun Cauldron. As soon as the essences were ejected, Ken's intent and Qi enveloped them in a protective manner until they reached the main cauldron safely.

'Great, the hardest part is behind me,' Ken thought as he ignored the droplet of sweat dripping from his forehead. His hands were slightly shaking from the exertion, and his robes were soaked in sweat.

The red eyes squinted in concentration as the five masses combined into one and a pill slowly took shape under the effect of the fire and Ken's Qi.

"Here it is," Ken wiped off his face with a handkerchief and took the translucent pill in his hand, coating himself with Qi beforehand to ensure the pill wouldn't crumble. "Take it, Mom," Ken handed it over.

Mei took it before looking hesitantly at the ruined room, unsure whether she should train there.

"You can use my training room," Haoran suggested, and his wife nodded in agreement. The three exited the room and moved to the other, letting the woman take the center.

Mei swallowed the pill without any qualms, believing in her son's capabilities. Even if concocting seventh-grade pills in the sixth stage was unheard of, she still believed Ken was an exception to this rule.

"It's working, it's working!" she cried out in astonishment, letting the pill take effect and heal her old injuries. The Phoenix Feather kick-started the restoration effect, and the rest did their own magic.

She hurriedly sat down in lotus pose and cultivated, guiding the energy in her body to create the best nascent soul she could manifest. Finally, twenty years after being crippled, Mei Jinn was cured.
