...
A strong burst of energy exploded from within him, causing everything around him to suddenly change. A mist of steam appeared, lasting only a breath before disappearing.
Yan Xiaobao slumped down, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Despite practicing the Waterswamp Kingdom every day since obtaining it, this was all he could achieve.
"I need to keep pushing forward!" he thought. After taking a short break, he finished his daily training routine and once again pondered the problem of the explosive pill furnace. Over the past six months of practice, he had succeeded in using so Third-level Spiritual dicine, but most of his attempts ended in failure.
Sitting there dejectedly for a while, he finally ca up with a theory.
"Maybe once the potency of the dicine increases to a certain level, it becos unstable, leading to explosions?" Subsequently, he hurried out, exchanged so rits for another pill furnace, and then returned to continue his concoction.
Gradually, word spread that the early explosions were coming from Yan Xiaobao's Immortal Cave. Disciples showed strange expressions on their faces. Although they were unsure of what caused the explosions, at least now they knew Yan Xiaobao was the reason.
Then... a few days later, Yan Xiaobao was at his dicine concoction workstation, completely focused on controlling the spiritual dicine inside the pill furnace. Unfortunately, the Third-level Spiritual dicine was hard to work with. Most people with enough experience and luck would achieve three successes out of ten attempts and consider that a high success rate. But Yan Xiaobao wanted things to be perfect. He wouldn't rest until he solved every problem, because he desired even the smallest detail to be perfect, aning he had to test all these details multiple tis to finally resolve each issue.
This ti, he realized he lost control over the spiritual dicine and his eyes widened. Then the pill furnace started making cracking sounds. Yan Xiaobao gasped as two wings suddenly appeared when he pulled out from the dicine concoction workshop.
The mont he erged, a massive explosion shook the Immortal Cave.
Before everyone could calm down, Xiangyun Peak was once again in an uproar. Three days later, Yan Xiaobao scread at his dicine concoction workstation as the third shocking explosion blasted through the air.
Seven days later, he erged again, panicked, fleeing at the fastest speed because the fourth deafening explosion almost demolished his dicine concoction workstation.
Xiangyun Peak was in complete chaos, with countless disciples' eyes completely bloodshot. After investigation, people learned that Yan Xiaobao was brewing dicine. However, no one could figure out why such massive explosions occurred.
"I asked the Spiritual dicine Pharmacy, they said he recently purchased eight pill furnaces!"
"That sound must be the explosive pill furnace. What is Yan Xiaobao concocting? Damn it! Isn't he worried about ssing up himself!?" Anger was building, yet the explosions... continued. They persisted.
In the following month, seven explosions shook Yan Xiaobao's Immortal Cave, each more intense than the previous one. The final explosion actually caused the whole Xiangyun Peak to tremble, and Yan Xiaobao's entire Immortal Cave was nearly destroyed.
When Yan Xiaobao stumbled outside, trembling in fear, the Outer Sect and Inner Sect disciples of Xiangyun Peak were driven to madness. None of them had been able to safely focus on cultivation in the past month. Constant scares from the explosions made them jump in fear. Now, they were completely distracted, trying to control their anger, their eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
Apparently, even the low-pitched spell formation couldn't block the sound of the explosions. The disciples' anger grew stronger, and even the elder was shocked, almost unable to believe what Yan Xiaobao was doing.
"What is Yan Xiaobao brewing in the pill furnace causing explosions? What... what dicine is he making!?"
Things weren't over. In the following month, the frequency of explosions increased. Sotis happening a dozen tis every other day. Eventually, Xiangyun Peak's disciples could no longer bear it, and they stord toward Yan Xiaobao's Immortal Cave to vent their anger.
Feeling very wronged, Yan Xiaobao hurriedly tried to explain. When he saw the mob of over a thousand disciples, his face turned pale, and he finally resorted to patting his chest and promising no more explosions. Only then did the crowd begin to calm down.
After seeing everyone leave, Yan Xiaobao returned to his Immortal Cave, frowning the entire ti. Looking at his mostly destroyed dicine concoction workstation, he sighed, took out another pill furnace, and then looked at it in a daze.
A few days later, he slapped his thigh, and his eyes started to shine.
"Exactly! It's definitely because I didn't properly preheat the pill furnace!" Excited, he began concocting again... Three days later, at midnight, everyone on Xiangyun Peak heard a massive explosion.
An Inner Sect disciple was so scared he almost fainted. His hair completely disheveled, he shouted, "Yan Xiaobao!! I don't care if you've been chosen, I'm going to beat you black and blue!"
He wasn't the only one. Soon, all the Inner Sect disciples erged from their Immortal Caves, even the exhausted Zhou Xinqi. Yan Xiaobao hurriedly ca out, apologizing profusely and promising it wouldn't happen again. The gathered disciples responded to this. Their attitude couldn't find any fault, so there was no other recourse. If he had even a hint of provocation, they would certainly give him a good thrashing. But at this mont... they could only grit their teeth and accept his promise.
