The constant, insistent prompting of the Eight Spider Lances urged Tang San on. He looked down at the dying Tang Hao and frowned slightly, mumbling, "Even though using the Eight Spider Lances to help Dad remove the toxins might absorb some of his life force and Spirit Power, I have to do this for his own good. If I don't help Dad remove this potent poison soon, he probably won't even make it through tonight."
As he finished speaking, Tang San did not hesitate. Guided by his will, the Eight Spider Lances on his back suddenly shot out, instantly piercing into Tang Hao's body.
Immediately, streams of purple energy flowed slowly into his father's body along the Eight Spider Lances. At the same time, Tang San's own aura surged dramatically.
"The power of a Titled Douluo is certainly different," Tang San thought. "Dad, just hold on a little longer. I believe it won't be long before I can extract all the toxins from your body ." Tang San could clearly feel that his own Spirit Power had increased by another notch.
"Cough..."
Under the continuous devouring of the Eight Spider Lances, the potent Death Spider Emperor poison in Tang Hao's body decreased significantly. He slowly regained consciousness from his coma.
"Little San, what are you doing?" Tang Hao asked in a low voice, opening his hazy eyes and immediately frowning.
Hearing this, Tang San finally came back to his senses. He immediately retracted the Eight Spider Lances back into his body and said without batting an eyelid, "Dad, I was just using my external Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, to help you remove the potent poison from your body. Don't you feel much better now?"
Tang Hao circulated his mental force and briefly assessed his own condition. He found that the toxins in his body were indeed much less than before. However, he also discovered that his body had suddenly become very weak, and he had a strong sense of his cultivation regressing.
At this moment, inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
A black Medicine Cauldron stood steadily atop the mountain peak. Inside the cauldron, a ball of red flame flickered, constantly leaping and churning, emitting scorching heat waves.
In front of the Medicine Cauldron, a blue-clothed young man sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed and his expression solemn. His breathing echoed the rhythm of the flames, as if his entire being had merged with the fire. A faint blue-gold light emanated from his body as he quietly observed everything within the Medicine Cauldron.
After the flames had risen in the Medicine Cauldron for nearly a minute, Tang Chan's palm suddenly waved gently at the several medicinal herbs in front of him. Immediately, a medicinal herb, entirely emerald green, floated up and was then directly dropped into the Medicine Cauldron by him.
As soon as this medicinal herb entered the Medicine Cauldron, the red flame instantly devoured it like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, and the herb quickly withered and turned yellow.
"Now it's time to control the heat," Tang Chan muttered. Staring intently at the medicinal herb in the Medicine Cauldron, Tang Chan used his Soul power to suppress the temperature of the red flame to a critical point. He made it appear fierce, yet unable to burn the medicinal herb inside into ashes. It merely roasted the herb, just enough to refine out the pure medicinal power within it.
As the flames continuously roasted it, the emerald green medicinal herb quickly withered and turned yellow. But at this point, the pure medicinal power it contained was entirely forced out by the flames, transforming into tiny emerald green water droplets that floated at the very top of the Medicine Cauldron.
Half an hour later.
Tang Chan's palm gently waved, and the withered medicinal herb flew out of the Medicine Cauldron, finally falling to the ground and turning into a pile of black ashes. As for the emerald green water droplets, he had collected them in a bottle beforehand.
"Not bad, you're actually using mental force to control the temperature of the flames for refining. This not only removes all harmful Impurities from the medicinal herbs but also purifies all the pure medicinal power within them. Kid, you truly are a Genius!" Dugu Bo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, looking at the ashes on the ground.
In his understanding, people on the Douluo Continent generally consumed Heaven And Earth Treasure by simply swallowing them whole. While this could improve their strength, it also meant ingesting harmful substances from the medicinal herbs, as all medicine has a degree of toxicity.
"Hahaha, I also learned these techniques from others," Tang Chan said, waving his hand lightly and continuing to add medicinal herbs to the Medicine Cauldron.
Looking at the Medicine Cauldron with its constantly churning flames, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask further, "Who did you learn from?"
Tang Chan didn't hesitate and said calmly, "I learned from someone named Xiao Yan."
"Who is Xiao Yan?" Hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned, looking a bit confused.
At this moment, Tang Chan realized he had misspoken. He awkwardly scratched his head and smiled slightly, saying, "Oh, this person is an Alchemist I met in a dream."
Then, he waved his hand irritably and said, "Oh, why do you have so many questions? Don't you still want your Spirit to evolve?"
Dugu Bo nodded repeatedly, eager to prove himself.
Tang Chan glanced to the side and said calmly, "If you want that, then go be a Protector on the side. Don't disturb me."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo had no choice but to retreat to the side, scanning his surroundings vigilantly and maintaining his guard.
Tang Chan then lowered his head and continued to use his mental force to control the temperature of the flames in the Medicine Cauldron. He meticulously and skillfully refined the subsequent medicinal herbs using the same method as before.
Time passed imperceptibly.
Several hours later, it was finally the last stage of the Fusion of the Medicinal Pill. In the Medicine Cauldron, several liquids of different colors slowly wriggled, rolled, and underwent Fusion under the action of the flames, as if each drop possessed its own life.
Slowly opening his palm, a ball of golden liquid appeared in Tang Chan's palm. It was the Bloodline of the Golden Sacred Dragon.
With a gentle wave of his hand, this golden liquid, as if sentient, flew steadily into the Medicine Cauldron. Immediately, Tang Chan's palm clenched sharply, and all the liquids within the Medicine Cauldron began to undergo Fusion. Their colors and auras constantly intertwined, and energy surged.
However, this golden liquid seemed to possess a self-awareness, constantly resisting Fusion with the other medicinal liquids. It flowed everywhere, attempting to escape the confines of integration.
"What? This Bloodline of the Golden Sacred Dragon can actually resist?" Tang Chan's expression changed slightly, and he said in disbelief, looking at this scene.
The sight before them also caused Xiao Ruier, who was not far away, to frown slightly. Immediately, her figure flashed, and she arrived in front of the Medicine Cauldron. The next second, she lowered her head, bit her finger, and a drop of fresh blood slowly dripped into the Medicine Cauldron.
Immediately, the golden liquid seemed to be constrained, instantly unable to move. It was quickly suppressed, ultimately having no choice but to obediently begin Fusion with the medicinal liquid. The golden light and the colors of the other medicinal herbs slowly intertwined, and the entire Medicine Cauldron glowed with a soft and clear radiance.
Fusion is the most important step in Alchemy. Even a slight mistake during this period could cause the hard-won refined medicinal liquid to be incinerated in an instant. Although this step was extremely perilous, fortunately, Tang Chan meticulously controlled it. Therefore, the worst-case scenario did not occur.
After several hours of Fusion, the prototype of a Medicinal Pill radiating golden light finally slowly took shape within the Medicine Cauldron! The moment this Medicinal Pill completely took shape, everyone clearly felt the energy between heaven and earth subtly fluctuate.
"Come on, Dragon Divine Pill!"
Frowning slightly, Tang Chan suddenly stood up. Then, he reached out and drew into the Medicine Cauldron. The Medicinal Pill, as if attracted by gravity, flew into his palm. Immediately after, he raised his hand and tossed it gently, and the Medicinal Pill flew directly towards Dugu Bo behind him.
"Senior Dugu, the Medicinal Pill I promised you is refined. Quickly take it and try it to see to what extent your Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit can evolve."
