“Seal the cauldron!” In the instant a bead of sweat dripped from the corner of his eyes, Ye Qingyu let out a low command. His left palm extended forward, an ice crystal instantly forming that instantaneously transformed into a clear globe of water that was slowly placed within the [Cloud Top Cauldron] by Ye Qingyu’s yuan qi. His left palm rapidly changed and transformed into different seals, then with a bang, the cauldron lid fell and sealed the cauldron.
Phew!Phew!
He let out a breath of murky air, relaxing slightly.
From the start to the cauldron being sealed, this was an extremely important process. If there were not any accidents or incidents during this process, then it could be said that he had already half succeeded in refining the pill.
Ye Qingyu wiped away the sweat on his face, once again activating the [Sole Will of the Cauldron], continuing to refine the pill.
The steps that followed after was that one had to follow the requirements of the pill formula, constantly using fierce and gentle fires to refine the pill. Apart from there being extremely strict requirements for the control of time, there were not any other special methods needed. For Ye Qingyu, this was not too difficult.
It was only that this process was something that expended a lot of time.
His hands constantly changed into different seals, controlling the [Supreme Ice Flame] to wrap around the [Cloud Top Cauldron] causing the flames to change in strength.
Time passed minute by minute just like that.
There started to be strange changes occurring on the [Cloud Top Cauldron], the patterns on it seeming to come alive. It first started moving like water ripples, then the scenes depicted on the cauldron that described stories of ancients times seemed to come alive, like an illusion. The cauldron began slowly floating, shrinking constantly, and was finally the size of a small pottery pot that rotated in the air.
Ye Qingyu once again felt the yuan qi within his body was being expended like the surge of an avalanche.
Refining pills was something that wasted a great quantity of inner yuan.
Therefore it was understandable just why there were so few Pill Masters in this world.
Apart from needing to memorising a vast quantity of information regarding herbs and refining pills, most Pill Masters must also be experts and be high in their cultivation. Otherwise, they had no way of using their inner yuan to control the flames while refining the pill. There were very little people who met both these two criterias. Very few people had the energy to memorize such great and complicated information regarding the medicinal properties of herbs and etc, as well as have the martial cultivation needed to control the flame.
The [Azure Phoenix Pill King] Chen Moyun yuan qi’s cultivation was not as great as Ye Qingyu’s today. This determined that he could only be an above average Pill master, and could only create Medicine Pills with limited future success. The fact that he was unable to take a step further was not only because he was lacking in knowledge regarding the art of pill making, but also the fact that his yuan qi cultivation was lacking.
There were also Pill Masters who did not possess enough yuan qi, but utilised the inner yuan of their followers to control the flame to refine the Pill.
Chen Moyun should largely be of that type.
Otherwise, he would not have obtained the title of the [Pill King of Azure Phoenix].
Of course, these were all Ye Qingyu”s guesses.
In his first process of refining a pill, Demon King Ye was able to understand many things. He now thoroughly understood just how strict the requirements for becoming a Pill Master was. With his understanding of Chen Moyun’s strength, that person should have relied on external forces to reach such great fame. With solely his strength alone, he should not have been able to obtain the title of Pill King.
