  Title:

  SpoilerThe Birthpce of the Nihility Dev Fme!

  [colpse]-------------------------------

  Xiao Yan did not start right away after preparing everything and thhly cheg the accuracy of the ingredients. Instead, he sat cross-legged and gradually adjusted his emotions while gently cirg his Qi Method to stabilize his Dou Qi.

  Even with Hun Huzi, su important figure, watg closely, he seemed pletely unfazed.

  It was only after his Dou Qi, mind, and physical strength had all returo their optimal states that he prepared to begin the alchemy process.

  Seeing that Xiao Yan did not bee anxious upon hearing that he could obtain a Heavenly Fme and instead quickly calmed down, even Hun Huzi showed a slightly ied expression as he watched.

  After casting a g Hun Huzi, Xiao Yan recalled a 3rd-tier medial pill recipe from his ste ring called 'Battle Armor Pill.'

  It was well-known that a Dou Grandmaster could use Dou Qi to form armor around their body. As such, the fun of the Battle Armor Pill was to allow those below the Dou Grandmaster realm to dense Dou Qi armor to defend themselves. This made it a valuable defeype of medial pill.

  However, Xiao Yan chose the Battle Armor Pill for another reason—its ingredients did not require extremely high temperatures to extract their essence. After all, he was still only a 9-star Dou Practitioner, and even with a bit of help from the Bone Chilling Fme, it would be difficult for him to burn high-grade ingredients.

  With his palm against the opening of the medial cauldron, Xiao Yan's sciousness slowly sank into his body. Strands of Bone Chilling Fme, ed in Dou Qi, traveled through his meridians and then through his palm into the medial cauldron.

  Ihe cauldron, a deep yellow fme began to rise and burn with a faint crackle. Upon closer iion, one could notice a few white fme threads meandering through the deep yellow Dou Qi fme.

  Xiao Yan watched the erratic fmes ihe alchemy cauldron through its reflective surface. After waiting a moment for the cauldron's initially cool temperature to gradually rise, he extended his spiritual perception out of his body, through his arm, and into the cauldron. Then, he successfully tamed the unruly fmes using his powerful Spiritual Strength.

  He had attempted to refine 3rd-tier medial pills before, but he had never succeeded, not even by ce.

  With a very gentle movement, Xiao Yan picked up a medial herb from beside him. After which, he used his Spiritual Strength to sehe temperature within the alchemy cauldron and waited until the temperature was at the right point for processing the herb. Then, with a whoosh, he tossed the herb into the cauldron.

  One by one, he threw various other herbs into the cauldron as the temperature tio rise. Each herb had a unique medial property and o be pced in separate locations within the cauldron to extract their essence.

  As the surface of the herbs began to show cracks in their charred outer shells, Xiao Yan skillfully maniputed the strands of Bone Chilling Fme, threading them like needles through the cracks and into the herbs' interiors to draw out droplets of green liquid.

  The medial herbs rapidly shrank as more and more liquid seeped out. Ohe st drop of green liquid was extracted, they turned into pitch-bck ashes that settled at the bottom of the cauldron.

  Xiao Yahed a sigh of relief. The first step was plete.

  He then took a Qi Rec Pill and popped it into his mouth. His cultivation level was his greatest weakness in alchemy, as his Dou Qi reserves were too limited.

  With a whoosh, he pced a red Rank 2 Monster Core into the cauldron. As the Monster Core was ied, a fierce beastly i burst forth, carrying a grudge with it that sought to destroy everything around.

  This was the rese of a magical beast at the time of its death that remained within the Monster Core. If an alchemist couldn't purify this rese, they would run the risk of the cauldron exploding.

  "Ha!" Xiao Yan's gaze sharpened. Before, he might have found it troublesome, but now, with his greatly increased Spiritual Strength, how could the dyiment of a mere Rank 2 Magical Beast pose a challenge?

  His Spiritual Strength transformed into a pair e hands that khe rese of the beast into a ball, which was then pletely ied by the Dou Qi fme.

  After purifying the magical beast's rese, the most difficult step followed: merging everything with the Monster Core to finally form the pill.

  This was ihe most challenging part. Any misstep in the process, such as some ingredients not being fully and evenly ied or scorched for too long causing impurities to form, could lead to a rea that would waste all previous efforts.

  The properties of medial herbs could vary depending on their age and growing enviro. Only through keen spiritual perception could oermine when their properties were fully ied.

  The quality of a medial pill depended on these nuahe more perfectly the properties were ied, the higher the quality of the pill.

  After an indefinite period of fusion, the fmes gradually receded. All the fmes of the cauldron, along with the medial liquid and the power of the Monster Core, densed into three pills the size of a dragon's eye.

  Puff, puff, puff! Xiao Yan used his Spiritual Strength to remotely collect the three Battle Armor Pills and stored them in a jade bottle.

  "Och, three pills." Xiao Yan looked at the three pills itle with joy showing on his face. He was clearly very satisfied with this result.

  A single session of alchemy could produce more than one pill. The number of pills produced depended on the alchemist's precision in refining the ingredients and whether there was any wastage during the fusion process.

  For Xiao Yan, refining a 3rd-tier medial pill was already a personal achievement, and produg three pills ich was even more remarkable.

  Hun Huzi didn't say a word as his soul proje gradually faded from sight.

  The absence of criticism from him roof of how successful Xiao Yan's alchemy had been this time.

  If Hun Huzi were to return to his younger years, he likely wouldn't have fared aer than Xiao Yan.

  A 9-star Dou Practitioner refining a 3rd-tier medial pill was something even he could not achieve.

  [The item you are looking for lies withiian Css Treasure Hall. Whether you obtain it or not depends on your owiny.]

  Hun Huzi's spiritual voice echoed from all dires, and the sed, a passage resembling a bck hole appeared. Without a doubt, Xiao Yan had passed Hun Huzi's test!

  Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the pitch-bck passage. He had never fotten what Hun Lao Gui said about the Nihility Dev Fme residing within the Hun .

  Although he did not know what a Seed Fme was, if he could obtain even a little bit of the 2nd-Rank Nihility Dev Fme, he would undoubtedly be greatly!

  'I have to check it out no matter what!'

  …

  Just when Xiao Yan thought he had seen enough to not be surprised by anything, he realized he was still far too naive.

  Passing through the bck hole, Xiao Yan was astonished by the se before him.

  A dark fme p, split in the middle, floated in the boundless void.

  The p wasn't very rge, only a few thousand kilometers in diameter, but its mere presen the endless void made his scalp tingle.

  'Could this be the birthpce of the Nihility Dev Fme?!'

  Xiao Yan roughly uood where he was when he saw strands of dark fme rising from the surface of the p.

  The Heavenly Fme Rankiiohat the Nihility Dev Fme was born in the void, and only the Hun Realm, which had always existed in the void, had the qualification to discover such a pce!

  In fact, just as Xiao Yan had suspected, this was where the Hun first entered the Nihility Dev Fme.

  The Nihility Dev Fme was a Heavenly Fme born on this dark fme p within the void!
