Xiaxia completely ignored the murmurs around her, gritting her teeth as her eyes remained glued to the Pill Furnace before her.
"Rise!"
Xiaxia slowly extracted the Medicinal Essence, and the Pill Furnace began to spin at high speed.
'What is this technique?' Liu Qing frowned, watching Xiaxia's Pill Furnace in confusion.
As the alchemy process neared its end, sweat began to bead on Xiaxia's forehead, but her hand movements didn't slow in the slightest.
'My fate is my own to decide, not heaven's...'
Xiaxia fiercely activated her Pill Furnace, slowly channeling all of her Primordial Qi into the Pill Fire for one final push.
Everyone knew this was the final, critical moment. Although most of them had already assumed the outcome, they couldn't help but hold their breath, a knot of nervousness tightening in their chests.
Time continued to pass.
CLANK!
