Three months flew by in a blink.

Heart Inquiry Hall, Core Training Room.

This place is completely sealed by an array, with spiritual energy as dense as mercury, flowing slowly.

The array banners moved without wind, rustling fiercely, drawing pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to transform into faint white light bands visible to the naked eye, gathering around the figure sitting cross-legged at the array hub.

Chen Sheng's eyes were tightly shut, his bare upper body with muscles like cast steel, his vital energy and blood rushing like thunder.

In the depths of the sea of consciousness between his brows, his spiritual power was being squeezed to its limit.

Two completely different Spirit Flames circled around him within a three-foot void, playfully chasing and swimming like fish, continuously rotating.

One is the Qianyang Seed Fire, resembling a small golden sun, its flame light distorting the air like boiling water!

The other is the Cyan Yang Treasure Flame, resembling a vibrant blue-green stream, its flame tail swaying and giving birth to traces of plant shadows!

During this period.

Chen Sheng had been absorbing the aura of the two fires, attempting to unravel the path of transformation.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, his Heart Spirit calm like an ancient deep well, his Spiritual Sense submerged into the sea of fire in his Dantian.

Therein, the conflicting forces of different attributes under exquisite control collided, countered, and annihilated each other...

Meanwhile.

The aura around Chen Sheng's body changed intensely, sometimes scorching hot like a furnace, sometimes freezing cold like a profound cave.

After a long time, it became as calm as an ancient well without waves, without leaking a trace of aura, like a stone sculpture, the light and shadows around him flickered uncertainly between indigo gold and blue-green.

Who knows how much time passed.

"Buzz——"

Chen Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, a cluster of interwoven golden and blue flames flickering in the depths of his pupils, and a genuine smile curled up at the corner of his mouth:

"Finally, I grasped another mysterious aspect of the path of transformation."

The heart moves with intention!

"Condense!"

Chen Sheng softly uttered a true word.

A pure red fire snake, condensed from Li Fire True Essence, shot out from his fingertips.

"Transform to Yin!"

The fire snake suddenly coiled.

Its color rapidly transformed into a dark, eerie deep blue ice flame, with flame patterns twisting like phantoms.

"Form the Lotus!"

The dark blue ice flame collapsed and circulated once more, condensing into a budding Jade Fire Lotus.

The lotus petals were as clear as ice crystals.

However, within and without, golden and blue micro-glows flowed turbulently, shimmering (and) dazzling.

This was the ultimate compression of energy and transformation of forms.

From the outside, one could not sense any aura, not a trace of either heat or coldness, as if it were an illusory lotus flower.

It appeared serene and harmless!

Yet, it contained terrifying Yinyang collision power within, completely locked within the lotus core, without leakage.

"Hiss..."

Chen Sheng took a sharp breath, finding the burden of controlling this "Yin Yang Fire Lotus" far beyond imagination, his Spiritual Sense driven to the limit, sweat rolling down, evaporating into white steam.

He murmured in his heart:

"Integrating another variation, it's just so challenging."

"Ah well, this is my current limit."

Chen Sheng forcibly suppressed his turbulent vital energy and blood, his eyes retracting their glow:

"It's not a lack of understanding, but my Cultivation that's insufficient."

"If I want to achieve perfect transformation, a true Yin Yang Complement Each Other, at least the Foundation Establishment Realm is needed for easy control."

His eyes locked onto the lotus.

Chen Sheng's Spiritual Sense felt a bit uneasy, his heart palpitating, sensing a full threat.

He exhaled a murky breath, flicking his fingers!

"Go!"

The serene Jade Fire Lotus transformed into a stream of light, silently and swiftly immersing into the chest of a life-sized Tier One Top Grade Profound Silver Warrior statue standing against the wall.

A bizarre scene suddenly occurred.

The statue's surface instantaneously condensed a foot-thick layer of Profound Ice, chilling to the bone, cracking sounds emerging under the weight on the hard Profound Silver.

In the next instant!

A faint orange-red fire thread ignited at the core of the ice-bound statue.

The ice layer did not melt, but the statue's core was melting and softening at a rate visible to the naked eye, the Profound Ice shell and the inner molten core forming a strange balance.

A few breaths later!

"Sizzle——"

Amidst a muffled sound, the entire Profound Copper Warrior melted into a pool of hot molten copper from the inside out, enveloped by the Profound Ice shell, like a crimson ice crystal amber.

Not long after, the various phenomena subsided, leaving only frost and scorching marks.

Seeing this scene.

Chen Sheng's eyes instantly brightened, unable to hide his excitement:

"The Fire Lotus entering the body, the simultaneous devouring of ice and fire, the Tier One Top Grade warrior suffered a devastating blow."

"It seems that even a Tier One Top Grade Defensive Magical Artifact cannot withstand this move."

Based on experience, Chen Sheng pondered secretly:

"The Yin Yang clashes, reversing into annihilation, this move 'Formless Fire Lotus' is far more formidable than the Burning River Seal, its power should surpass ordinary Foundation Establishment Early-stage Cultivators."

"No wonder I find it so hard to control, a normal Foundation Establishment Cultivator with Divine Sense can assist in control much easier."

Clearly, it's the research on the Alchemy Fire Control Skill, yet it's developed into a trump card.

This is quite normal!

Almost every Alchemy Master is a grandmaster of Fire Technique, and their combat methods derive from this.

Chen Sheng performed introspection over his entire body, carefully nurturing himself, gradually dispelling the dizziness caused by the intense exhaustion of Spiritual Sense.

Two hours later.

He gradually recovered.

He did not forget the original purpose of the Fire Technique.

— Alchemy.

"Next, I'll attempt to refine pills with this method."

Chen Sheng thought, then took out a set of Tier Two Materials from the Storage Pouch.

These were the materials he purchased to attempt refining a Tier Two Lower Grade Elixir — the Gold Essence Pill, each set was not cheap.

Chen Sheng only purchased ten sets.

After consecutive failures, Chen Sheng lost the heart to continue trying, finally leaving only two sets of materials.

Just right for this moment!

On the jade desk beside the furnace.

Neatly placed were the processed Tier Two Spiritual Medicines: fragments of Golden Marrow Reishi, Three Yang Flower Bud, Earth Vein Stone Milk…

Chen Sheng took out a small, exquisite pill furnace and flicked his fingers. The pill furnace expanded with the wind, finally transforming into a profound-colored pill furnace, solid and weighty as a mountain.

Chen Sheng formed a spell with his fingers.

In an instant, Spirit Flame rose in the furnace.

"Yin Yang Formless Purgatory!"

Chen Sheng's thought guided, and the Fire Lotus in his Dantian buzzed.

Buzz—!

Immediately, the Spirit Flame in the pill furnace transformed, instantly becoming a miniature Yin Yang Formless Purgatory.

"Put in the medicine!"

The already processed medicinal materials were added.

As soon as the Golden Marrow Reishi touched the distorted force field, it was instantly covered with a layer of crystal-clear frost, but inside it was smelted by the fierce flame into the most pristine gold-element Spiritual Liquid.

The Three Yang Flower was even sealed in ice before it could explode, while a wisp of Yang essence was gently extracted by the cold flame…

Every kind of Spiritual Medicine had to undergo the refinement of ice and fire within this purgatory, stimulated without damage, extracting the entire essence of medicinal power.

Chen Sheng's face flushed bright red as blood, his temples' veins bulging, fine beads of sweat continuously emerging from his forehead, and his ten fingers slightly cramped from excessively activating the spell!

He performed far beyond his capacity of delicate control, with immense difficulty maintaining the Formless Purgatory.

A full fifteen minutes of torment!

Chen Sheng's robes were soaked with cold sweat, his Spiritual Sense driven to the extreme, generating a deep sense of exhaustion.

Almost collapsed!

"This step finally completed."

The most dangerous step was over.

Chen Sheng slightly exhaled a breath.

The subsequent steps.

Condensing Pill, Solidification, Spirit Lock...

Although subject to various intense impacts of medicinal power, it was relatively much easier.

Chen Sheng vigorously refreshed himself, his hands transforming like Thousand-armed Guanyin, finger gestures pouring down like a storm of pear blossoms.

Countless spells surged eagerly into the pill furnace.

The Pill Qi soared to the sky, the furnace trembled violently.

"Commence!"

The last Pill Collection Technique was cast.

The furnace lid opened in an instant.

Golden glow spewed from the furnace mouth, leaving the room filled with a peculiar fragrance.

A pill the size of a dragon's eye, entirely golden, with green and red fire patterns intertwined on its surface, shot out through the air.

Landing precisely in Chen Sheng's palm as if spiritually guided!

"Succeeded!"

Slightly hot to the touch, the pill's body was round and transparent, the green and red fire patterns circulated on the surface as if alive.

Chen Sheng glanced at it briefly, knowing it wasn't a wasted pill, a hint of joy flickering in his eyes.

"This Yin Yang Formless Purgatory, completed in one go, is surprisingly formidable!"

Chen Sheng slowly let out several breaths of turbid air, calming himself for a long time, then employed the Pill Evaluation Technique to delicately assess:

"The pill has seventy percent effectiveness, which is considered adequate!"

Chen Sheng recalled the repeated attempts before, exhausting materials, resulting in several furnace explosions and wasted pill messes.

Everything felt as if it was ages ago!

He sighed with emotion in his heart:

"For a Qi Cultivator, refining Tier Two Elixirs is truly difficult!"

"I have skills beyond the average Tier Two Alchemist, bear enormous pressure, only then able to painstakingly refine the pill!"

He heaved a long sigh, thinking again:

"If I had Divine Sense assistance, would this much trouble be necessary?"

"Divine Sense like an arm, Alchemy as a blade."

"Only with the second level of form mastery, would it be sufficient to refine this pill effortlessly."
