In the deepest part of the Alchemy Hall.
In a Tier Three Earth Fire Alchemy Chamber, a Purple Gold Pill Furnace stood in the very center. It rested on three legs and was engraved with thirty-two fire crows. Four Alchemy Boys stood beside the furnace, which was as tall as they were, drenched in sweat as they used Fire Control Techniques to maintain a stable flame.
Although the Earth Fire here was stable, refining a batch of elixirs from start to finish often took dozens of days, and accidents could always happen.
Twenty-seven days later, the Purple Gold Pill Furnace began to shake violently. Six streams of hazy Pill Qi erupted as the Earth Fire was rapidly absorbed, threatening to falter.
The alchemy was nearing completion; the Spirit Pills were in the process of forming.
"Bind!"
Tan Changkong extended an arm as withered as a branch and pointed at the Purple Gold Pill Furnace. The thirty-two fire crows engraved on it suddenly spat fierce flames, stabilizing the heat.
