At this moment, Tan Yun was naturally unaware that he had become the target of everyone's disdain.
On the moon, Tang Xinying looked at Tan Yun and shook her head in disappointment. However, the next scene made her furrow her brows, "Could it be that he wants to refine a divine soul pill?"
It was Tan Yun's Qiankun Ring that was flashing repeatedly, with colorful spiritual herbs emerging one after another, transforming into forty-five types of seventh to ninth-grade spiritual herbs and thirty-six types of spiritual herbs aged between one thousand to one thousand six hundred years!
"Even if he is a sovereign alchemist, there are only a short three years and one month left. There's no way he can refine it in such a short time!"
While Tang Xinying was deep in thought, Tan Yun had already successfully heated the cauldron using primordial flame. Immediately, he grabbed three ninth-grade spiritual herbs, "Soul Shaping Grass," and tossed them into the cauldron. Then, seemingly at random, he grabbed a handful of five types of spiritual herbs and threw them into the cauldron as well.
Next, Tan Yun sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while simultaneously refining the elixir!
"This..." Tang Xinying's beautiful eyes widened in shock. She never imagined that Tan Yun would be multitasking to refine a divine soul pill!
It is worth noting that with her expertise as a saint level sovereign alchemist, when she refined the divine soul pill, she was completely focused, fearing that any imbalance in flame temperature or the fusion of the elixir liquid after the herbs melted would cause problems!
But Tan Yun, surprisingly, was casually refining the elixir, which left her bewildered!
At this moment, in the Temporal and Spatial Dao Field, apart from Shen Subing, who was frowning and restless, the other deacons and disciples couldn’t hold back their opinions:
"Hahaha... This Tan Yun is indeed a peculiar one, refining elixirs while cultivating! Doesn’t he know that an alchemist's worst taboo is distraction?"
"He doesn’t even understand the most basic principles of alchemical refinement yet dares to compete with Elder Four. There’s really no one else like him!"
"Yes, brother, you’re right!"
"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about him anymore! Why discuss someone who is bound to die right after the alchemical arts grand competition?"
As time flowed, two years later in the scroll, Tan Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer of excitement in his gaze as he touched the barrier of the sixth layer of the refining soul realm.
However, with only thirteen months left, he ultimately decided to enter seclusion after the competition to break through to the next realm.
Of course, at this moment, everyone outside the dojo was unaware that Tan Yun had already advanced from the third layer of the refining soul realm to the fifth layer—only Tang Xinying, who was on the moon, knew!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Having made up his mind, Tan Yun casually tossed thirty-five types of spiritual herbs aged over one thousand years into the cauldron.
Now, he had only one last spiritual herb left: a one-foot tall, entirely purple-red herb—the divine soul embryo grass aged one thousand six hundred years!
In the blink of an eye, another year passed. Just as Tan Yun tossed the divine soul embryo grass into the cauldron, Elder Four, Lu Yi, on another star, smiled as he waved his right arm, and instantly, the destiny true fire under the cauldron was drawn into his mouth.
He shook his dao robe, stood up, and said, "Chief, I have successfully refined the elixir!"
"Good! Elder Four, you may leave now." As Tang Xinying spoke, she shook her head while looking at Tan Yun. From the process of Lu Yi’s alchemical refinement, she had confirmed that he had also refined a divine soul pill!
In Tang Xinying's view, even if Tan Yun could refine a supreme divine soul pill, he would still be executed for taking too long!
