Chapter 429: Pill Condensation!

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!

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!"
