"Very good, very good. Disciple, your destiny true fire has already reached the mid-grade respect grade."
Tan Yun looked at the flames beneath the Dan Ding, his eyes filled with intensity.
If it weren't for his disciple, he would really want to let the primordial flame consume it!
"Thank you for the compliment, Master," Shen Subing said sweetly.
"Alright, I will begin the alchemical refinement," Tan Yun said. "I have prepared an alchemical formula for you, detailing the three methods to refine the Revival Sovereign Pill. Have you memorized them all?"
"Master, I can recite them backwards," Shen Subing replied confidently.
"Good, then I will refine the first method. Watch carefully," Tan Yun said. As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Subing immediately sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and as her flowing black hair danced, an invisible spiritual sense enveloped the Dan Ding. Instantly, the scene inside the Dan Ding appeared in her mind.
As Tan Yun released his spiritual sense to cover the Dan Ding, Shen Subing seemed to notice something. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she thought to herself, "Why is Master’s spiritual sense only at the first layer of the refining soul realm?"
As Shen Subing pondered, the meticulous Tan Yun naturally knew she would have doubts, so he said casually, "I recently failed to break through my realm, which resulted in a heavy soul injury. To recover, it may take three to five years."
Upon hearing this, Shen Subing felt guilty and said, "It's all my fault. I thought you didn't want me anymore when I saw you not coming after you saw the banner."
"Hahaha, even if I see the banner, I wouldn’t know it was you looking for me. If I knew it was my precious disciple, I would have come long ago," Tan Yun laughed. "Alright, aside from asking about any uncertainties during the alchemical refinement, we will discuss other matters once I succeed."
"Yes, Master," Shen Subing replied before quieting down.
"Whoosh!"
With a wave of his hand, Tan Yun summoned five spiritual herbs, glowing with a blue hue and resembling azure clouds, into his hand and explained, "These five herbs are eighth-grade spiritual herbs: soul-reinforcing azure cloud grass, which have properties quite similar to the Revival Jade Grass."
"The Revival Jade Grass belongs to the water element, which is feminine in nature. The only difference with the soul-reinforcing azure cloud grass is that it has the purest yin energy of water. Therefore, when using it as an assistant to refine the Revival Sovereign Pill, you must burn the vessel within the inferior grade Dan Ding until it is a bright red and white moment before throwing in the herbs!"
As he spoke, Tan Yun manipulated Shen Subing's destiny true fire, increasing its power to the maximum beneath the Dan Ding. Soon, the half-foot diameter vessel inside was engulfed in fiery red flames.
Shen Subing carefully observed the vessel through her spiritual sense. As the black vessel began to turn slightly white, Tan Yun, with a thought, tossed the five soul-reinforcing azure cloud grasses into the Dan Ding.
"Sizzle—"
The five soul-reinforcing azure cloud grasses emitted a series of piercing sounds within the vessel, and then began to gradually melt into a green medicinal liquid.
Three days later.
"The medicinal liquid is lightly boiling; when it changes from blue to green, at three points of green, begin to add twenty stalks of seventh-grade spiritual herb, Heavenly Remnant Blood Flower, and thirty-six stalks of eighth-grade spiritual herb, Jade Fragrance Spirit Blue..."
Tan Yun explained continuously, skillfully tossing each spiritual herb into the Dan Ding...
During the next half month, Shen Subing truly experienced her master’s profound mastery of the alchemical arts, which was nothing short of transcendent.
In this half month, her master added a total of sixteen types of spiritual herbs, amounting to one thousand nine hundred thirty-three stalks into the Dan Ding.
Moreover, he explained the properties of each spiritual herb, as well as the subtle changes in color when they fused with the other herbs to form the medicinal liquid.
