Bai Li looked at the Pill Formula for the almighty pill, her eyes determined, as if she had made an important decision. She gritted her teeth and took out a sharp Dagger from her waist. The Dagger glinted coldly in the sunlight, reflecting her slightly pale face. Bai Li took a deep breath and lightly cut her arm with the Dagger. Bright red blood slowly flowed from the wound, dripping into a jade bowl she had prepared beforehand.
"Hiss..." Bai Li took a sharp breath. Although the pain was only momentary, she couldn't help but frown, her petite body trembling slightly. She counted the drops of blood falling into the bowl, "One, two, three..." Not until the fifteenth drop fell did Bai Li bandage the wound with clean gauze. The bright red blood stained the white gauze, a shocking sight. Looking at the crimson blood in the bowl, a hint of reluctance rose in Bai Li's heart; this was her hearts blood! The Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline was incredibly precious, each drop containing powerful energy; she would not easily use her own essence blood unless absolutely necessary.
Bai Li carefully placed the jade bowl containing the Nine-Tailed Fox blood on the table, stood up, and walked to Lin Yaoyao's dressing table, opening her Storage Ring. Lin Yaoyao's Storage Ring was filled with a dazzling array of treasures: sparkling jewelry, powerful Magic Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts, and various rare medicinal herbs and Spiritual Plants, emitting faint fluctuations of Spiritual Qi that were dazzling to behold. Bai Li searched through the Storage Ring and soon found the Hundred-Year Lingzhi and mugwort needed to refine the almighty pill. She took out five Hundred-Year Lingzhi and ten stalks of mugwort; these Lingzhi were plump, bright in color, and emitted a thick medicinal fragrance, while the mugwort was emerald green and gave off a fresh herbal scent. Bai Li placed the Lingzhi and mugwort separately on the table and began to carefully process the Materials according to the Pill Formula.
She first washed the Hundred-Year Lingzhi with clean water, then used a small jade knife to cut the Lingzhi into thin slices. She then placed the Lingzhi slices into a jade mortar and slowly ground them into powder with a jade pestle. The Lingzhi powder was as fine as snow and emitted a thick medicinal fragrance that was refreshing to the nose. Next, Bai Li washed the mugwort and ground it into powder using the same method. The mugwort powder was as green as jade and emitted a fresh herbal scent, which, when mixed with the medicinal fragrance of the Lingzhi, formed a unique and exceptionally pleasant aroma.
After processing the Materials, Bai Li poured the Lingzhi powder and mugwort powder into the jade bowl containing the Nine-Tailed Fox blood. She used a jade spoon to slowly stir, mixing the three Materials together until they were evenly blended into a medicinal paste. The paste was pale pink, emitting a faint medicinal scent and a metallic smell of blood, looking somewhat eerie. Bai Li carefully poured the medicinal paste into the alchemy furnace, then sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, forming hand seals and circulating her Spiritual Qi to control the fire beneath the alchemy furnace.
The fire beneath the alchemy furnace blazed, making a crackling sound. Under the high-temperature roasting, the medicinal paste inside the alchemy furnace gradually boiled, emitting bursts of white smoke. The medicinal fragrance grew stronger, filling the entire room. Bai Li focused all her attention on controlling the output of the fire and Spiritual Qi, not daring to be even slightly negligent. Her face turned slightly red from the high temperature, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her long silver hair drifted slightly due to the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi, and the white tail behind her swayed uneasily from side to side, revealing her inner tension.
Bai Li's slender fingers moved nimbly as she changed hand seals. Strands of pure Spiritual Qi flowed from her fingertips like tiny Dragons, entering the fire vent at the bottom of the alchemy furnace. The color of the furnace fire gradually changed from bright red to orange-yellow, finally stabilizing at a soft golden yellow. The flames leaped, making a faint humming sound as if responding to Bai Li's Spiritual Qi. Under the roasting of the golden-yellow flames, the medicinal paste inside the alchemy furnace tumbled and boiled, emitting an increasingly thick medicinal fragrance. The scent filled the room, smelling fresh and pleasant, making one feel refreshed.
Strands of white smoke drifted out from the gaps in the alchemy furnace, curling up into the air as beautiful as a celestial maiden scattering flowers. Bai Li focused all her attention on controlling the output of the fire and Spiritual Qi, not daring to be distracted at all. Time passed second by second, and the room was so quiet that only the crackling of the burning fire and Bai Li's light breathing could be heard. Outside the window, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. As the breeze blew, the shadows swayed gently, as if cheering Bai Li on.
After an unknown amount of time, the medicinal fragrance inside the alchemy furnace gradually subsided, and the tumbling medicinal paste also began to calm down. It finally solidified into a Medicinal Pill the size of a longan, emitting a faint golden light and a thick medicinal fragrance. The surface of the Medicinal Pill was smooth and round, as warm and delicate as the finest mutton-fat jade, glowing with a faint golden light like a miniature sun, radiating warmth.
Seeing this, Bai Li was overjoyed. She quickly extinguished the furnace fire and carefully opened the alchemy furnace. An even thicker medicinal fragrance rushed toward her, refreshing her mind and invigorating her spirit. She used a jade spoon to take out the Medicinal Pill and placed it into a white jade bottle, carefully sealing the bottle. Then she let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief appearing on her face. The process of refining the almighty pill was more complex and energy-consuming than she had imagined, but she had finally succeeded, which filled her with immense gratification and pride.
Just then, Lin Yaoyao finished her Cultivate and slowly opened her eyes. Sensing the thick medicinal fragrance filling the room, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Bai Li, are you performing Alchemy? What Medicinal Pill smells so good?" She stood up and walked to Bai Li's side, looking at the white jade bottle on the table, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Bai Li looked up and, seeing Lin Yaoyao, quickly rose to meet her with an excited smile on her face. "Sister Yaoyao, you have finished your Cultivate!" She spoke cheerfully, handing the white jade bottle to Lin Yaoyao. "I just refined an almighty pill; it can treat your internal ailment and dispel the evil qi in your body."
Lin Yaoyao took the white jade bottle and opened the stopper. An even thicker medicinal fragrance rushed toward her, jolting her spirit. Looking at the Medicinal Pill in the bottle emitting a faint golden light, she asked in surprise, "An almighty pill?" Her tone carried a hint of disbelief.
Bai Li blinked and gave a playful smile, explaining, "This is a Pill Formula I suddenly realized! The almighty pill can treat all kinds of injuries and can even bring someone back from the dead!" Her tone carried a hint of pride; the powerful effects of the almighty pill made her feel incredibly proud. She paused and added, "Sister Yaoyao, take it quickly. It can cure your internal ailment and dispel the evil qi in your body; it might even improve your Cultivation Base!" She spoke with expectation, hoping Lin Yaoyao would recover soon.
