Chapter 154: Thunder Body Refining
Once a person is deceived by his loved ones, he will be suspicious of the whole world.

The same was true for Yao Lao. He had even doubted his best friend Feng Xian before. Now, facing the mysterious Yao Yan, he couldn't help but have many doubts in his heart. But after a moment, he suppressed the doubt deep in his heart, because now he had nothing worthy of the other party's covetousness.

He used to be the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou, known as the Medicine Master. Naturally, he was very famous and countless people tried to please him.

But now he is just a remnant soul, and almost all the valuable things on his body have been taken away by Yao Yan, or he has made a deal with the other party. The only things that are still of some value are the pill formula he knows and the origin of his soul, but he has already reached an agreement with Yao Yan on the former.

As for the latter, unless Yao Yan is a member of the Soul Palace, it is useless to ask for it. After all, the secret method of absorbing the essence of other people's souls is rare in the entire Douqi Continent.

If Yaoyan really had this secret method, the other party would not have to wait until today.

He became more and more suspicious... Yao Lao lowered his eyes slightly, sighed in his heart, and then his eyes returned to calm. He felt that Yao Yan should have no ill will towards him. If so, he, an old man, would not have lived to this day. The other party had countless opportunities to kill him, but he didn't.

It couldn't be that this kid was deliberately teasing him. If that was the case, he would actually be looking forward to it.

After all, for Yao Lao today, there is nothing to look forward to in the future. Seeing how far Yao Yan can grow is one of his few interests now.

Yao Yan, who was refining medicinal materials not far away, naturally had no idea about Yao Lao's complicated emotions. His attention had been completely attracted by the medicine cauldron. Refining a seventh-grade elixir was still a great pressure for him at the moment. What's more, the seventh-grade Bing Xin Pill was one of the top ones among the seventh-grade elixirs. It was very difficult to refine and it consumed a lot of energy.

"Ice Heart Pill is ranked seventh. Its medicinal effect is quite powerful. It contains a trace of extreme cold power that can freeze the body in an instant. Even the power of strange fire cannot melt it. The most precious thing is that after taking it, the consciousness will be in an absolutely calm state and will not be affected by the outside world. It can even resist the inner demons. A total of 126 kinds of medicinal materials are required..."

During the process of extracting the essence of the medicinal materials, the method of refining Bing Xin Dan slowly emerged in Yao Yan's mind. Some key points emerged again and again. He did not dare to be careless in the slightest. After all, this was his first time to refine Bing Xin Dan and he was not absolutely sure. Fortunately, there was a lot of Earth Core Tempering Milk, which had a certain tolerance rate, so he was not under too much pressure.

It’s just a matter of refining it a few more times.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind and were quickly suppressed by Yao Yan. He looked at the extracted essence of the medicine in the medicine cauldron, his eyes slightly focused, and he pressed down his fingers slightly. He saw that the raging green flame in the Black Magic Cauldron weakened instantly.

After pondering for a moment, he took out the jade bottle containing the Earth Core Tempering Milk from the Bone Inflammation Ring. He controlled the bottle cap to open with his soul power, and six drops of crystal clear stalactites like gems dripped out of it. The pure energy contained in it could be clearly felt even by Cai Lin and Yao Lao who were standing far away.

"let's start!"

Yao Yan said slowly in his heart, and then his eyes became sharper. He controlled six drops of stalactites to fly into the Black Demon Cauldron. The Green Lotus Earth Core Fire inside it was like a ferocious beast, swallowing it all in one gulp. At the same time, the suppressed heat also erupted instantly, and the terrifying fire wave was like a volcanic eruption.

As he opened fire at full power, the drops of medicine inside instantly became extremely clear, and some impurities were instantly burned away. These medicines that were refined to the limit were also under Yao Yan's control. In a unique order, they were added drop by drop to the six drops of Earth Core Tempering Milk, making its original color become much more complex. At the same time, the breath it emitted also gradually changed, and it even added a cold and gloomy force.

This scene was extremely strange. It was clearly being baked in the scorching flames, but the aura it emitted was becoming increasingly cold and gloomy.

As more than one hundred drops of medicinal liquid merged into six drops of Earth Core Tempering Milk, six groups of medicinal liquid emitting a cold and sinister aura appeared in Yao Yan's sight. At this moment, they were almost solidified, like entities, emitting bursts of cold and sinister aura, competing with the power of the strange fire around them.

At this moment, Yao Yan closed his eyes and maintained the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire at a balanced temperature. He kept baking the six balls of liquid medicine to completely blend their medicinal properties. This process was a test of the alchemist's endurance. An ordinary Dou Wang would definitely not be able to hold on. However, for Yao Yan, this freak, what he feared least was a protracted battle.

What men want is lasting fighting power!

"This step is the most difficult step in refining the seventh-grade Ice Heart Pill. It requires the medicinal properties of the six groups of liquid medicine to be completely refined. After they solidify, the medicinal properties contained in them will be completely integrated. After that, they need to be extracted and fused for a second time. Finally, the pill can be condensed. The refining process is extremely challenging for the alchemist to control his own soul power and understand hundreds of medicinal materials... But this kid's soul realm has reached the spiritual realm, so it shouldn't be difficult for him!"

Yao Lao stroked his beard, looked at the process of Yao Yan refining the elixir with a serious gaze, and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin pursed her extremely gorgeous red lips, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She asked in a low voice, "Will this process take a long time?"

"It depends on his control over the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. If everything goes well, it will probably only take a day or two."

Yao Lao's eyes moved slightly and he spoke slowly.

It has to be said that Yao Lao had an extremely accurate vision, and the time he judged was almost the same as the time when Yao Yan was refining. About two days later, when night fell and the moonlight was setting, the Black Magic Cauldron, which had been calm for a long time, finally changed. The six solidified objects in it actually cracked, and at the same time, a powerful energy wave surged out from it, hitting the medicine cauldron, and immediately made a crisp sound.

At the same time, it also woke up Cai Lin and Yao Lao who were sitting cross-legged on the side.

"This is……"

Cai Lin looked at the place where Yao Yan was refining the elixir with some surprise. At this moment, the Black Demon Cauldron kept emitting loud roars, as if something was constantly exploding inside.

"The next step is the most critical one. If we can suppress these energies, we can continue refining. If not..." Yao Lao's face became more solemn, and he spoke slowly. No one could help Yao Yan at the moment, and this step could only be done by him alone.

Yao Yan calmly looked at the energy in the medicine cauldron that was gradually becoming violent. His expression was calm and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He said with interest, "This is a bit interesting~"

Alchemy is actually a very interesting thing, especially refining high-grade elixirs. They already have spirituality, and the spirituality of elixirs above the ninth grade is no different from that of humans, and they even have extraordinary power when they are just born. Although the seventh grade has not reached that level, it has also entered that level. Its refining process is naturally different from that of low-grade elixirs. He quietly watched the noisy essence of the medicine liquid. At this moment, the six elixirs have shattered, revealing six crystal clear essences. They are different from ordinary medicine liquids. They have a kind of spirituality and can even release energy on their own, as if resisting the refining of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

However, these slight resistances were obviously too weak to change their fate.

It lasted for about half an hour, and the constantly restless energy gradually weakened. At the same time, Yao Yan's powerful soul power, as if seeing its prey, instantly poured in, directly suppressing the six spiritual essences, and then violently rubbing them together. His method was bold and rough, and Yao Lao, who was watching on the side, was stunned and a little surprised.

He believed that he had seen many alchemy techniques of seventh-grade alchemists, including some elite disciples of Dan Tower, but this was the first time he had seen alchemy techniques like Yao Yan's.

But he succeeded in kneading it!
In the green flame, there was a pill that looked like an ice crystal floating in it, with faint starlight flowing around it. It was extremely magical, and even very spiritual as it absorbed the energy around it. Perhaps it was born from the strange fire. At this moment, it had a strong resistance to the Green Lotus Core Fire, and it did not change at all even when it was burned.

"It actually worked..." Yao Lao was a little doubtful about his life. When did alchemy become so brutal? The other party's path was obviously different from his own.

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin couldn't help but ask, "Did it succeed?"

"It's almost done. The most difficult step has passed. All that's left is to wait for him to collect the pill. However, the pill thunder that falls at the end should be very powerful!" Yao Lao reminded. Different pills will form different pills. The seventh-grade Bing Xin Pill that Yao Yan is refining now is not an ordinary seventh-grade pill. With its spirituality, the pill thunder condensed by the heaven and earth is expected to be extremely powerful. Ordinary Dou Zong may not dare to take it head-on.

As if to verify Yao Lao's words, the originally clear night sky gradually became covered with dark clouds, and a terrifying power of heaven and earth began to condense above the space, and its direction was just above the Black Demon Cauldron, as if preventing the elixir inside from being born.

"Dan Lei..."

Yao Lao looked at the dark clouds in the sky, feeling the power of heaven and earth, and was inexplicably dazed, as if he thought of everything that had happened in the past. For an alchemist, pill thunder is a symbol of success and also a kind of pride, representing his own achievements.

An eighteen-year-old seventh-grade alchemist, what a terrifying talent for alchemy... Yao Lao looked at Yao Yan again, with a little more complexity in his eyes.

"Do we need to intercept?!"

Cai Lin raised her snow-white chin, and stared at the dark cloud-covered sky with cold phoenix eyes. Dense thunder power was already emerging in the sky, like a silver dragon tumbling in it, exuding a dangerous aura.

"If he can't hold on, we'll take action again." Yao Lao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. At the same time, the vast soul power emanated from him, covering the surrounding world. If anything unexpected happened later, he would definitely take action to save Yao Yan.

Cai Lin nodded, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

At this moment, Yao Yan had heavy dark clouds above his head. Silver lightning was moving around in the clouds. Occasionally, when they collided with each other, a huge thunderous sound would erupt. The power of heaven was enough to make people tremble with fear.

Yao Yan didn't feel anything about this. He even cared about the Ice Heart Pill that was being nurtured in the Black Demon Cauldron. It was now in the final stage of being produced. However, perhaps sensing the danger outside, this little guy actually knew how to restrain his breath, but his method was too crude.

Refining medicine is no different from creating living beings... Yao Yan sighed in his heart. Compared with the Instant Qi Pill he refined last time, the Ice Heart Pill in front of him obviously took more effort and effort. It was his masterpiece. At this moment, he suddenly understood Hunxuzi's feelings. Most real alchemists have the same pursuit and persistence for perfection.

"Boom~"

A silver light as thick as an arm burst out from the dark clouds, and the dazzling light illuminated the dark sky and earth. It was obvious that the aura of the Ice Heart Pill could no longer be concealed, and with the spirituality of the Ice Heart Pill, it was impossible to avoid the lock of the pill thunder.

Yao Yan looked up at the thick dark clouds that seemed almost close at hand. The rumbling thunder in them seemed to explode next to his ears, causing a buzzing sensation in his eardrums.

He moved his wrist and smiled at Yao Lao who was standing beside him: "Please take care of the Black Demon Cauldron and don't let this little guy escape~"

As soon as he finished speaking, wings of fighting spirit appeared behind him, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards the dark cloud, because the first pill thunder had begun to form in it. If he did not deal with it, the pill thunder would surely strike down and interfere with the last step of the Ice Heart Pill.

At the same time, Yao Yan also wanted to try using Dan Lei to refine his body. Since in the original book, Dan Lei could temper the Heavenly Demon Puppet, there was no reason why it couldn't temper his current body.

He is still looking forward to it.

However, in the eyes of Cai Lin and Yao Lao, this scene was a bit too much. They both stared at him in surprise. They saw Yao Yan, who was flying in the air, his skin quickly turned silver at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, a powerful aura that was no weaker than that of a Dou Zong emanated from him. It was not the pressure of Dou Qi, but the pressure of the body's qi and blood, which was an oppression at the level of life.

"boom!"

Almost at the moment when Yao Yan displayed his Vajra Indestructible Body, the circling dark clouds dropped a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, which slammed towards Yao Yan, as if trying to crush this guy who challenged his authority.

"bring it on!"

Yao Yan did not resist and let the thunderbolt hit him. Suddenly, he was bathed in thunder. The terrifying power of thunder kept tearing his body apart, while also stimulating the great vitality in his body. Between destruction and regeneration, his body naturally underwent a strange transformation...
