Chapter 391: Crushing Victory!
At this moment, within Liu Ling’s Crimson Serpent Cauldron, the light red medial liquid seemed to sehe pressive force from its surroundings, and it suddenly began to fluctuate violently. With each surge, powerful ripples of energy erupted from it, colliding with the invisible fored by soul power.
“Bang!”
Ooform, the cauldron quivered slightly, produg a crisp collision sound from within.
As the cauldron trembled, Liu Ling’s expression ged subtly. His foot stomped heavily on the ground, and his palm, h above the cauldron, ched fiercely forward as if trying to crush the very air in front of him.
With the tightening of Liu Ling’s grip, the violently ing liquid in the cauldron suddenly froze. The invisible hand formed by his soul power surged in strength at ohe inally rge mass of liquid had shrunk to the size of a ping-pong ball, but as it reached this point, it fiercely resisted, refusing to move to the final step.
“It’s resisting sly!” Liu Ling’s face paled as he trated on the cauldron.
This was already Liu Ling’s fourth attempt at refining a fifth-tier pill. With the experience from his previous three tries, he khat any mistake at this stage would mean all prior efforts would be wasted. This was why he had rested for such a long time after purifying all the ingredients.
Given that he had only retly advao a fifth-tier alchemist, his success rate for refining a Dragon Force Pill, which was among the higher-grade fifth-tier pills, was not high. However, after refining the Green Lotus Core Fme, practig the powerful teiques passed down by Gu He, and achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation, his fidence had surged, pushing him to challenge his limits.
The ges in Liu Ling’s expression were noticed by the crowd in the square. They had also seen the cauldron's trembling earlier, and now everyoheir breath, eyes fixed ily on the se.
Deteg the disturbaning from Liu Ling’s cauldron, Fa Ma was now certain that the pill being refined was indeed a fifth-tier pill. After all, a fourth-tier pill could never produce sutense energy ripples.
“Liu Ling, you must succeed!”
Fa Ma silently prayed. At this moment, Xiao Yan’s pill was already plete, and there was no way it could surpass Xiao Yi Xian’s four-tier pill with colored fragrance. All of Fa Ma’s hopes now rested on Liu Ling.
“Senior brother, you do it!”
On the edge of the square, Xiao Yi Xian, who was nurturing her pill, also noticed the otion. A hint of fshed in her eyes.
“Looks like he’s feeling the pressure,” Xiao Yan murmured to himself. This was the first time he’d seen Liu Ling struggle so much during a refi. If it weren’t for the petition, he might have even wished for Liu Ling’s success.
“I will bee a sixth-tier alchemist. I will not be defeated by a fifth-tier pill!”
As his soul power tended with the energy within the medial liquid, a thought fshed through Liu Ling’s mind. He took a deep breath of the warm air around him, his face turning red with strain. His right hand, h over the cauldron, first opened slowly and then trembled as it gradually ched into a fist. A low, forceful and escaped his throat:
“dense for me!”
With the and, Liu Ling’s hand gripped tightly, and the ping-pong ball-sized liquid in the cauldron shuddered. In an instant, it began to shrink at a visible rate. Within moments, the liquid had vanished, repced by a thumb-sized, light red embryonic pill.
The most difficult step—f the pill—had been pleted. Beads of sweat dripped from Liu Ling’s forehead as he took several deep breaths. The suppressed fmes began to release their heat gradually, roasting the rough-shaped pill.
“Excellent! He’s formed the pill embryo!”
Seeing this, more than y pert of the spectators let out a sigh of relief. F the pill embryo meant that half of the battle was won.
Gazing at the pill, rough and enclosed in fmes, Liu Ling allowed himself a brief moment of rexation befaining full tration.
Although the pill was rough in form, it already possessed some of the basic effects of a fifth-tier pill, the “Dragon Force Pill.” Judging by its value, the oute of this petition might already be determined.
“Just stay steady, and the championship will be yours!”
On the high ptform, Fa Ma silently prayed. As a fifth-tier alchemist himself, he khat even if a fifth-tier pill reached the embryonic stage, the subsequent process was still full of dangers. A single misstep could destroy the already-formed embryonic pill.
At this moment, within the Crimson Serpent Cauldron, uhe shroud of fmes, the dark red pill began to spin rapidly. As its rotation intensified, the seari of the fmes gathered into thin, invisible strands and tinuously infused into it.
“g!”
During the rotation, a wave of dark red energy rippled from the pill, crashing heavily against the inner walls of the cauldron aing a crisp, loud sound.
Notig the ges in the dark red pill, Liu Ling’s expression grew more serious. He khis chaotiergy was a result of the pill's formation—a situation he had faced three times before. However, this time, the energy surge was the most intense.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Within the cauldron, the dark red embryonic pill tinuously released energy ripples that struck the cauldron walls. If not for the sturdiness of the Crimson Serpent Cauldron, it might have shattered uhe repeated impacts.
Watg Liu Ling trol the fmes, Xiao Yan and the Little Princess, standing nearby, were so tehey momentarily fot to breathe.
“Luckily, I’ve already broken through to Dou Wang; otherwise, suppressing these energy surges would have been difficult!”
Seeing the dark red pill in the cauldron gradually bee smooth and round, Liu Ling’s tense nerves finally began to rex.
“Boom!”
Under tless gazes, Liu Ling suddenly lifted his hand and struck the cauldron lid. Instantly, the lid flew up, and with it came a dense fragranique to a fifth-tier pill. A bright red pill shot out from the cauldron.
Liu Ling quickly grabbed a prepared jade bottle and captured the flying fifth-tier pill.
“Success!”
“Gu He has truly found a treasure. Liu Ling’s potential will undoubtedly make him araordinary genius iure, stepping beyond the Jia Ma Empire, reag the Northwest ti, and even the tral Pins...”
