Chapter 115: Prepare To Form Pill
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the Eye of The Netherworld appeared, even the temperature dropped by a few degrees. It was clearly a flame, but it gave off an extremely cold feeling, as if they had come to hell. Ghostly flames surrounded them, and even the oil lamp beside them was stained with an ominous green color.
A faint aura of death surrounded Zhang Chengfan. He was a man of few words to begin with, and he often lowered his head. The thick bangs on his forehead covered most of his face.
At this moment, coupled with the grayish-black aura of death, he looked as if he was wearing a cloak that covered his entire body from head to toe. It was as if death had descended upon him, causing everyone to panic for no apparent reason.
Flames surrounded the cauldron, and an invisible air rose up. Then, it split into two, once again splitting into countless balls of flames that wrapped around the cauldron. It was as if there were many eyes densely packed together, causing goosebumps to appear on everyone’s skin.
After that, a green mist gushed out. That was the essence extracted from the medicinal herbs. It could be said that the essence of life was contained here. In the end, it condensed into the shape of a few drops of water, which fell into the cauldron like rain from the sky.
It was quite strange. Logically speaking, with so much death aura around them, it should have affected the aura of life, and even the quality of the pill. Logically speaking, they should have been completely isolated.
However, Zhang Chengfan remained unmoved. He even allowed it to happen. He urged the death qi to merge with them, causing the onlookers to be confused. They didn’t understand what he was trying to do.
“Look!”
They heard a cry of surprise. They looked in the direction of the sound. The death qi and the life qi intertwined and formed a huge yin-yang pattern in the air, floating above the cauldron.
The originally grayish-black death qi was slowly fading, and was replaced by a flourishing green. It was as if a sprout had grown out of a barren grassland, and then quickly took root and grew into a towering tree.
All the death qi was slowly fading, and an endless stream of green qi poured into the cauldron. Even though a pill had not formed yet, everyone could feel an incomparably majestic aura.
“This is truly amazing. As expected of the Eye of The Netherworld. It really is amazing.”
“I was worried that the aura of death would affect the pill. Who would have thought that martial brother Zhang would have predicted this? It seems like I was overthinking things.”
“Transforming the aura of death into an unending stream of life and infusing it into the cauldron. With the addition of these things, the pill will definitely reach the perfect stage. This is truly a marvelous idea.”
Everyone was astonished. They all praised Zhang Chengfan’s actions.
On the other hand, Lin Bai’s side had an unremarkable little black cauldron. Although they had never seen his flame before, they didn’t see anything special about it. Instead, they felt that it was quite ordinary.
It was a small ball of flame, and it was curled up in a corner. It didn’t look particularly good, as if it was malnourished. Its sickly state made people wonder if a gust of wind would be able to blow it out.
Everyone’s emotions were complicated. This ball of flame was too inconspicuous compared to the Eye of The Netherworld. It was probably just some ordinary flame seed, so it shouldn’t have much power.
After all, Lin Bai didn’t see anything strange. Zhang Chengfan’s side was making such a big commotion, which made it even quieter. There was only a small ball of flame burning tenaciously.
The cauldron was pitch-black. They didn’t know if it could heat up the cauldron. They even suspected that the medicinal herbs that had just been put in still looked the same.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yan only had one thought in his mind, and that was that he was completely finished. He couldn’t understand why Lin Bai’s current state of refining pills was different from the He family’s.
Could it be that he had really accidentally refined a seventh grade spirit replenishing pill last time?
Zhong Haoran walked over from the side, “Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t know where you found such a person to actually dare to accept the challenge. Fortunately, I’ve helped you vet him beforehand. Otherwise, if such a person were to enter the City Lord’s estate, I’m afraid he would implicate our Alchemist Association.”
Chen Yan’s face turned green and red. He held his breath and couldn’t say anything. After all, the facts were right in front of him, and he really couldn’t refute them.
Under everyone’s mocking gazes, Lin Bai continued to refine pills in such an ordinary manner. No one noticed that although the flame in the center of his palm was tiny, it was like the Sun. It seemed to wrap around the entire sky, it was like a small world.
The flames of the Eye of The Netherworld grew bigger and bigger. They burned fiercely, and the life force that was converted became more and more abundant. Everyone knew that high-grade fire seeds could easily affect low-grade fire seeds. There were even some who would extinguish because they could not withstand it.
Looking at Lin Bai’s small flame, sympathy appeared in everyone’s eyes. “His flame probably won’t be able to hold on for long. It’ll be forced to extinguish under the pressure of the Eye of The Netherworld soon.”
Lin Bai’s flame also trembled violently, as if echoing what everyone was saying. It became smaller and smaller, and its color also became lighter and lighter.
A strange medicinal fragrance drifted in the air. Smelling it could make people feel refreshed and enlightened.
“He’s about to form a pill!” Everyone present was excited. Their eyes were burning as they looked at Zhang Chengfan’s location. However, the aura of death and life was still interweaving with each other as they poured into the cauldron. It was obvious that there were no signs of him forming a pill.
Then where did this medicinal fragrance come from.
Just as everyone was puzzled, someone inadvertently looked at Lin Bai. He saw that the small pitch-black cauldron was actually emitting specks of golden light, as if stars were falling from the sky. It was as if the cauldron was about to form a core.
“He… he’s about to form his pill?”
Everyone was in disbelief. They thought that they were hallucinating. However, even though the light was weak, it was real. Even Zhang Chengfan could hear everyone’s voices. He couldn’t help but look up at Lin Bai.
“How is this possible! ?”
