Illusion Yin Pill, is the elixir Yun Xiao needs to refine this ti, and the grade of this elixir has reached Earth Rank Advanced. In fact, Yun Xiao hasn’t reached the level of an Earth Rank Advanced Pulse Refining Master yet.
Therefore, Yun Xiao did not plan to take this risk. After all, there is only one Illusion Yin Grass; if it gets destroyed, he wouldn’t want to go to Xuanyin Cave again. Moreover, there might not be Illusion Yin Grass inside Xuanyin Cave.
After bringing out the dicine tripod, Yun Xiao waved his right hand, and a large pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures appeared around him. Yet, he did not summon his Ancestral Vein Fire but stood up instead.
Creaaaak!
Yun Xiao pushed open his door, and found that, unbeknownst to him, a graceful figure was standing there. It was Vice Hall Master Lian Yuluo of Xuanyin Hall, an authentic low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner.
"Vice Hall Master Lian, let’s begin!"
Though he only had one encounter with Lian Yuluo, Yun Xiao knew that her ridian refining technique far surpassed his own, at least in practice. In terms of theoretical experience, even ten Lian Yuluos couldn’t compare to Yun Xiao.
Even after learning about the incident outside Xuanyin Cave earlier, Lian Yuluo didn’t have a good impression of the young lad for various reasons. However, she didn’t say much at this mont, nodded, and entered the room.
"This Earth Rank Middle Level dicine tripod..."
Upon seeing the dark red dicine tripod, Lian Yuluo finally frowned. For soone like her, a low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner and a vice hall master of Xuanyin Hall, the Earth Rank Middle Level dicine tripod was clearly unappealing.
Clang!
As she walked closer, Lian Yuluo lightly kicked the dark red tripod, producing a loud sound. Then, she rubbed her hand on her waist, and a white dicine cauldron appeared out of thin air. Its aura was ancient and grand, much more dazzling than the dark red dicine tripod.
"Heavenly-grade dicine Cauldron!"
With his keen eye, Yun Xiao naturally saw the extraordinary nature of the white dicine cauldron at first glance. Though it was rely an inanimate object, it subtly absorbed the energy between heaven and earth, letting him instantly know that it was an exceptional Heavenly-grade dicine Cauldron.
In comparison, the dark red Earth Rank Middle Level dicine tripod was truly lacking, so Yun Xiao, without making a fuss, put away his dicine tripod, and then watched the actions of the low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner.
"Vice Hall Master Lian, don’t move those herbs!"
Seeing this, Yun Xiao quickly spoke up, and this remark imdiately drew Lian Yuluo’s dissatisfaction. After all, she was an authentic low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner, and with the Illusion Yin Pill recipe in hand, a re Earth Rank Advanced pill was nothing; she never thought she would fail.
"A hall master refining pills should not be disturbed by others. You better head out first!"
Whether in ridian qi cultivation or ridian refining technique, Lian Yuluo far surpassed Yun Xiao. Hence, she had the confidence to say such words to a lad who was renowned among the young talents.
Moreover, because of Yun Xiao’s small tricks during the day, which seed to show disdain towards Xuanyin Hall’s young lady, Lian Yuluo had already sent a flying letter to express her dissatisfaction. Later, she felt a stifling irritation with nowhere to vent.
If not for her concern about Xue Ningxiang’s Innate Pulse Cutting aftereffects, Lian Yuluo would not have co to Yun Xiao’s courtyard. Unexpectedly, before even starting, this young lad began to instruct, making her increasingly dissatisfied.
"That won’t do. There is only one Illusion Yin Grass. What if it gets damaged by your failure? I must stay here and watch!"
Unexpectedly, after Lian Yuluo spoke, Yun Xiao did not move an inch but shook his head and said those words, causing Xuanyin Hall’s vice hall master’s face to turn grim.
"Hmph, just an Earth Rank Advanced Pill. Why would it fail when refining according to the recipe? Besides, if I fail, what help could a lad like you provide?"
Hearing Lian Yuluo’s cold hum, the young lad still didn’t seem to move, making her face even grimr. Since the other party wouldn’t leave, she couldn’t use force either, so she could only sulk internally.
"Vice Hall Master Lian, impulsiveness is most taboo during ridian refining. Given your state, the probability of failure might be even higher!"
Looking at Lian Yuluo’s slightly heaving chest, Yun Xiao frowned. This vice hall master of Xuanyin Hall, despite being a low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner, seed quite impatient; it would have been better to find an Earth Rank Advanced Pulse Refiner for the task.
"You..."
The dignified vice hall master of Xuanyin Hall, a Fusheng Realm expert and low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner, was being reprimanded by a lad not yet twenty, making Lian Yuluo incredibly vexed.
But just after uttering a single word, Lian Yuluo recalled Yun Xiao’s admonishnt and felt a sudden chill in her heart.
Indeed, emotional irritation was a major taboo in pill refining, as it could delay the treatnt of Xue Ningxiang’s Innate Pulse Cutting aftereffects—a cost that wasn’t worth the risk.
"That ntality is rather good!"
Seeing Lian Yuluo calm her mind in an instant, Yun Xiao nodded in praise, like a ntor complinting a disciple, nearly causing Lian Yuluo to lose her composure again.
"Forget it, just an impudent kid, no need to pay attention!"
Lian Yuluo forcibly repressed her anger, adjusted her mood, ntally reviewed the pill recipe for the Illusion Yin Pill, and then turned her gaze to the nurous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures beside her.
Generally speaking, every elixir recipe will detail the order of refining herbs, but for a ridian Refining Master at the Heavenly Rank level, they will make adjustnts based on their habits and understanding of the elixir, aiming to refine elixirs of better quality.
Lian Yuluo is one such Heavenly Rank Low Level Pulse Refiner. She no longer strictly follows the order listed in the pill recipe, which is why she instinctively wanted to change the order of those herbs just now.
Looking at the order those herbs were placed in, Lian Yuluo couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, thinking that this chaotic arrangent would likely increase the failure rate by half if followed during refining.
"Vice Palace Master Lian, you’d better not move those herbs. Trust ; there will be benefits!"
As Lian Yuluo reached out again to adjust the positions of those herbs, Yun Xiao’s voice chid in once more, seemingly more severe this ti.
Yun Xiao’s second insistence only fueled Lian Yuluo’s anger. Fortunately, she resolved not to get upset over this young lad, although her outstretched right hand froze slightly, already formulating a plan in her mind.
"Forget it, aside from the Illusion Yin Grass, the other herbs are prepared in triplicate. Let’s follow this boy’s arrangent and see what happens. Once it fails, it will also crush that arrogant brat’s spirit!"
In Lian Yuluo’s mind, Yun Xiao was already labeled as "arrogant and conceited."
This guy appears to be just a Middle-level Earth Rank Pulse Refiner, although his talent in Refining is quite extraordinary. But who gave him the courage to ddle in the affairs of a Low Level Heavenly-grade Pulse Refiner?
Truthfully, achieving Middle-level Earth Rank ridian Refining Mastery before the age of twenty had earned Yun Xiao Lian Yuluo’s admiration.
Yet, their brief encounter filled her with displeasure, thinking of him as an impudent junior who, upon gaining so skill, forgot even his own surna.
As Xuanyin Hall’s chief ridian Refining Master and Vice Hall Master, Lian Yuluo’s ridian refining skills are second to none, save perhaps for the elusive President of the ridian Refining Master Guild.
Ordinarily, low-level ridian Refining Masters covet the opportunity to observe Lian Yuluo’s techniques, yet this infuriatingly young boy constantly makes unsolicited comnts, igniting Lian Yuluo’s anger.
So Lian Yuluo decided to test Yun Xiao’s arrangent first, ensuring that failure would show him the uselessness of his arrogance.
Thankfully, the singular Illusion Yin Grass was placed on the outermost edge, clearly intended for the last stage of refining. Otherwise, Lian Yuluo would never attempt Yun Xiao’s arrangent, finding it too risky.
Seeing Lian Yuluo ultimately didn’t change the placent of herbs, Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. This was the reason he arranged the herbs before inviting Lian Yuluo in.
As the Long Xiao Battle God reincarnated into a Holy Rank Pulse Refining Master, Yun Xiao’s understanding and experience in ridian Refining are beyond what Heavenly Rank Low Level Pulse Refiners of the Tenglong Continent can imagine.
If Yun Xiao truly wished to forcefully refine the Illusion Yin Pill, success might not be impossible, but inviting Lian Yuluo was a move to guarantee absolute perfection.
With Lian Yuluo’s refining level as support and his abundant expertise to provide guidance, Yun Xiao believed that their cooperation would make the Illusion Yin Pill refining failure rate less than one in ten thousand.
However, Yun Xiao seems to have forgotten that while he considers Lian Yuluo a great partner, as a Low Level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refining expert, Lian Yuluo does not hold him in any regard.
Their standings remain unequal.
Luckily, Lian Yuluo, eager to defeat Yun Xiao’s arrogance, chose to follow his herb arrangent, thus entering the course Yun Xiao initially set.
Boom!
Lian Yuluo extended her right palm over the fire-opening of the white dicine tripod, unleashing her Ancestral Vein Fire, notably white in color.
To beco a ridian Refining Master, cultivators must activate a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein, typically red in hue. Such a white Ancestral Vein Fire, even Yun Xiao witnessed for the first ti.
This unusual Ancestral Vein Fire, Yun Xiao reasoned, was likely significantly more powerful than ordinary ones, becoming a pleasant surprise.
