Chapter 446: The Heavenly Purple Fire!

Quickly, Su Qingxuan gathered all the necessary materials. This was the last complete set she had left. If she failed this time, it would take considerable effort to gather the materials again.

Therefore, for this final attempt, Su Qingxuan couldn't afford any mistakes.

Placing all the materials on the preparation table, Su Qingxuan began processing them with her skilled techniques.

After about half an hour, Su Qingxuan finally activated the array beneath the alchemy furnace. A faint purple flame rose from the array and began to preheat the furnace.

Ling Feng watched as her pale hands moved swiftly, incorporating each ingredient for the Purple Light Dust Pill into the furnace.

Although Su Qingxuan's material purification process was somewhat slow, her fire control techniques were commendable.

As the materials entered the furnace, they transformed into crystalline medicinal liquid. With each seal Su Qingxuan formed, the properties of the liquids began to merge. Each fire seal she executed impressed Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's fire control techniques were based on his own research and further enhanced by Yan Cangtian's teachings. He had learned the

Daoist Art of Heavenly Fire,

a rare fire control technique. After studying it, his control over his fire attribute true qi had improved significantly.

However, upon seeing Su Qingxuan's techniques, Ling Feng realized what it meant to encounter someone more skilled.

Her techniques, though somewhat unrefined, showed the potential of a grandmaster in alchemy.

It seemed that Su Qingxuan's father must be a remarkable alchemy grandmaster. Ling Feng thought it would be an honor to meet him someday.

In no time, Su Qingxuan had liquefied all the materials. She waved her hand and covered the furnace with its lid. Ling Feng then observed an even more advanced fire technique. Su Qingxuan imprinted fire seals on the furnace without relying on the array below.

Her fire of true qi is incredibly impressive!

Ling Feng thought, amazed. Su Qingxuan's fire attribute true qi was definitely spirit-infused, or it wouldn't have such an effect.

"

Wakaka!

Master, you lack insight!" Zifeng's voice echoed in his mind. "This is the Heavenly Purple Fire, one of the top-ranked exotic fires that is even stronger than your Fire of the Earth's Core!"

"Heavenly Purple Fire!"

Ling Feng's eyes widened. Yan Cangtian had once mentioned the most coveted exotic fires for alchemists. Ling Feng's Fire of the Earth's Core, though rare, was only ranked in the fifties, while the Heavenly Purple Fire was in the top twenty!

Indeed, the world was vast, and others also had their opportunities. While his Fire of the Earth's Core was impressive, others had obtained even more precious spirit-infused attributes.

As Ling Feng's cultivation increased, his once top-grade Fire of the Earth's Core gradually became less amazing.

It was time for him to seek more precious spiritual objects, whether fire attribute or not, so that he wouldn’t waste his physique capable of unlimited spirit infusion.

Ling Feng silently praised Su Qingxuan while keeping his eyes on her every move. She was in her optimal state, moving through the process seamlessly and fluidly.

Time passed, and as a fourth-grade alchemist, Su Qingxuan's performance greatly impressed Ling Feng.

Finally, Su Qingxuan began the pill condensation process. With a shout, she formed a hand seal, and the furnace lid burst open. A purple radiance shot into the sky.

Su Qingxuan's hands rapidly changed seals and exerted a force that captured the ball of purple light, afterwhich extracting the round medicinal pill from the furnace.

Instantly, a fragrant aroma filled the air. Ling Feng nodded in approval. Undoubtedly, Su Qingxuan had successfully refined the Purple Light Dust Pill.

"Retrieve!"

With a graceful wave of her hand, Su Qingxuan swiftly collected the medicinal pill into a jade box.

"What a beautiful technique!" Ling Feng praised.

After a few breaths, Su Qingxuan opened the jade box. Seeing the round and pristine medicinal pill inside, she was so excited that she almost jumped up like a child.

"I did it! I finally succeeded!"

The crystalline medicinal pill emitted a dreamy, purple aura, and was undoubtedly a perfect Purple Light Dust Pill.

"Congratulations, Mentor Su, on your successful refinement!" Ling Feng stepped forward to congratulate her.

"Thank you, Ling Feng!" Su Qingxuan looked at Ling Feng with excitement. Without his help, she wouldn't have succeeded even with another six months.

"This is all thanks to your efforts, Mentor Su. You had already filled in the missing three ingredients. I just provided a little assistance," Ling Feng said humbly with a smile.

Su Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him. The "little assistance" he mentioned was crucial to refining the Purple Light Dust Pill.

Without hesitation, Su Qingxuan opened her lips and swallowed the pill.

Although it appeared successful, only by personally experiencing its effects could she determine if there were any deviations.

The pill melted in her mouth, and the medicinal liquid slid down her throat. Su Qingxuan felt her entire body envelop in a gentle purple light as a warm current flowed through her limbs, making her almost moan in comfort.

The medicinal strength then transformed into several streams of elemental qi, spiraling in her dantian. Su Qingxuan quickly guided the true qi to break through her current realm.

Within ten breaths, she opened her eyes again. Merely consuming a fifth-tier pill had enabled her to break through a minor realm!

She had been at the seventh level of the Transformation Realm and had now advanced to the eighth level! [1]

"My goodness, it’s so effective! Is this really a fifth-tier pill's effect?" Su Qingxuan's eyes were filled with disbelief. The pill's efficacy seemed two to three times greater than what the ancient texts described!

Perfect!

Absolutely perfect!

"How did you manage to perfect an ancient pill formula to such an extent?" Su Qingxuan looked at Ling Feng in shock, her heart in turmoil.

This young man was a genius alchemist, on par with her father!

Ling Feng smiled faintly. If he had refined the pill instead and added a pill inscription, the efficacy could have increased by another fifty percent. However, he didn't want to dampen her spirits and simply said, "Maybe it was just a lucky coincidence. I didn't think much about it, hehe..."

Seeing Ling Feng's feigned modesty, Su Qingxuan felt a strong urge to pummel him.

How could perfecting an ancient pill formula be mere luck? Why didn't I ever get such luck?

Nonetheless, having successfully refined the Purple Light Dust Pill and unexpectedly breaking through a realm, Su Qingxuan was in high spirits. She let go of her irritation and said with a smile, "Chief Ling, you played a significant role in refining the Purple Light Dust Pill. Once my father returns and teaches me his unique fire control techniques, I'll make sure to pass them on to you!"

"Thank you in advance, Mentor Su." Ling Feng immediately bowed in gratitude. Given her exceptional fire control techniques, her father's skills must be extraordinary.

As an honorary president of the Alchemist Guild, he must be a top-grade alchemist like Yun Danqing. Even though Ling Feng had reached the level of a sixth-grade alchemist, there were still many things he could learn from such seniors.

1. Author's note: The more talented a person is, the more energy is required for a breakthrough. Su Qingxuan, possessing the Heavenly Purple Fire, is no ordinary person. At the eighth level of Transformation Realm, she could easily overpower dozens of ordinary peak Transformation Realm cultivators. ☜
