Despite being thoroughly exhausted, a small, weary smile could be seen gracing his lips. His eyes gleamed with a mix of satisfaction and determination as he surveyed the scene before him. "Idiots, do you think that alchemists are just good at refining medicines?" Yuan’s laughter echoed through the air, carrying a sense of superiority.
With a flick of his hand, a mystic cauldron, ancient and shrouded in enigma, materialized before him.
The cauldron possessed an air of antiquity that seemed to defy time itself. Its surface, expertly crafted from a dark and tarnished metal, bore intricate designs. Its edges were worn and jagged. Carvings, faded yet distinct, adorned its sides.
As Yuan’s gaze fell upon the cauldron, his smile widened, revealing a trace of nostalgia. This cauldron had been his loyal companion since the beginning of his cultivation journey, accompanying him through countless trials and tribulations, and now serving as a testament to his rise as a mighty Seventh-Order Alchemist.
With practiced precision, he began to weave intricate seals with his hands, each movement reverberating with a profound sense of purpose. In response, the runes etched upon the cauldron’s surface shimmered and ignited one by one. The worn-out cauldron, once dull and lifeless, now emitted a vibrant golden light that danced and flickered with anticipation.
With a steady hand and unwavering focus, Yuan summoned the corpses of fallen experts in the Seventh-Order Realm. In a macabre display, their lifeless forms ascended and gracefully dissolved into wisps of essence, seamlessly melding into the cauldron’s welcoming embrace.
Drawing a deep breath, Yuan’s gaze settled upon his fingertip. There, a shimmering golden flame burst forth with unrivaled intensity. This flame, known as the Sacred Heart Flame, held immense power, its brilliance and potency rivaling even the renowned Phoenix Divine Flame.
Closing his eyes, Yuan positioned himself beside the cauldron, his body poised in a meditative stance. As he gently touched the cauldron with the tip of his finger, a surge of energy coursed through him, connecting him to the ancient vessel. The refining process commenced, accompanied by the faint crackling of the sacred flame meeting the cauldron’s surface.
Time seemed to lose all meaning as Yuan delved deeper into the alchemical process. The sky around him gradually darkened, ominous storm clouds billowing above. Spectacular arcs of lightning streaked through the air, painting an eerie tableau. An overwhelming aura of foreboding enveloped the vicinity, signaling the imminent arrival of a heavenly tribulation.
Yet, despite the brewing chaos and impending danger, Yuan remained resolute. His face remained serene, unmarred by a single furrowed brow.

The lightning continued to surge and crackle through the air, each bolt striking with indiscriminate force. The brilliant arcs illuminated the darkened sky, revealing its ominous depths with a stark intensity. The rumbling thunder reverberated in Yuan’s ears, deafening in its power and magnitude.
As the lightning drew closer, it grew in intensity, unleashing its wrath upon the earth below. The ground trembled beneath Yuan’s feet, an echo of the imminent destruction that loomed overhead. The air itself seemed to vibrate with energy, charged with a raw and untamed force.
As the heavenly tribulation roared overhead, bolts of lightning crackled and surged towards Yuan, threatening to tear apart everything in their path.
But the golden flames within the cauldron surged forth with an intensified brilliance.
Each lightning bolt that dared to approach the cauldron was met with an unwavering resolve. The Sacred Heart Flame erupted in a cyclone of golden radiance, its flames licking at the air with an insatiable hunger. It crackled and surged with unrestrained energy, fueling its unwavering determination to overcome the celestial tribulation.
With each clash, the Sacred Heart Flame grew stronger, its radiant glow intensifying. It sizzled and crackled, its golden hue deepening with a newfound vigor. The flame enveloped the lightning bolts, notarizing and devouring them with a captivating display of alchemical might. As the lightning bolts were consumed, the flame absorbed their essence, transforming it into fuel for its own potency.
As the heavenly lightning tribulation reached its most powerful crescendo, the final strike bore witness to a spectacle that defied comprehension. The combined might of the lightning bolts converged, swirling and intertwining in a mesmerizing dance. They coalesced into a majestic form, shaping the likeness of a golden dragon, its scales glimmering with otherworldly luminescence.
In response, the Sacred Heart Flame underwent a miraculous transformation of its own. The flames arched and swirled, stretching and expanding until they took the form of a magnificent golden cauldron. The cauldron radiated an awe-inspiring brilliance, its surface adorned with ancient symbols and intricate patterns that seemed to pulse with newfound energy.
As the lightning dragon soared towards the cauldron, the golden flames parted, creating a swirling vortex within the cauldron’s depths. The vortex, akin to a gateway to another realm, drew in the magnificent dragon like a powerful magnet. The flames of the cauldron roared to life, eagerly consuming the majestic creature with a mixture of reverence and hunger.
As the dragon dissipated within the cauldron, the energy it carried surged through the vessel, filling it with even greater power. The Sacred Heart Flame, now infused with the essence of the lightning dragon, burned brighter and hotter, its golden glow taking on a mesmerizing intensity, then it flew back to the cauldron.
The cauldron itself began to pulse with energy. Its surface glowed with otherworldly radiance, the carvings and symbols etched upon it becoming more pronounced. The patterns shifted and rearranged, intertwining with the power of Heaven and Earth.
Yuan, still immersed in his meditative stance, directed the flow of energy with masterful precision. He controlled the flames, guiding them to refine and purify the essence of the fallen experts within the cauldron. The energies melded and harmonized, undergoing a metamorphosis within the crucible of fire.
The refining process seemed to transcend time itself. Hours stretched into days, as Yuan remained steadfast in his focus, his determination unyielding.
The refining process soon reached its apex as the cauldron vibrated with otherworldly energy. The combined essence of fallen experts, the Heavenly tribulation Lightning, and now the lightning dragon flowed in perfect harmony within its confines. The energy within the cauldron soon transformed, condensed, and took on a new form.
The radiant light gradually subsided, and five pills emerged from the cauldron’s embrace.
The pills, glimmering with otherworldly radiance, seemed to pulsate with a life force of their own. Their hues shifted seamlessly, transforming from a brilliant crimson to a deep indigo, then morphing into a vibrant emerald. Each pill possessed a unique pattern of swirling energy, resembling miniature universes contained within their delicate shells.
As Yuan observed the pills, he marveled at their flawless form. Each one was perfectly symmetrical, its surface smooth and unblemished, as though carved by celestial artisans. Enigmatic symbols, similar to the ancient runes etched upon the cauldron, adorned their exteriors, radiating an aura of ancient wisdom and power.
Enveloped in an ethereal glow, the pills seemed to exude an intoxicating fragrance that filled the air, a blend of floral essences and mystical energies.
With gentle hands, Yuan carefully placed each pill into a small, ornate porcelain bottle, lined with soft velvet to protect their delicate form. As he closed the lid, the air within the bottle tingled with an electric energy, as if the pills themselves were yearning to be released, eager to fulfill their purpose.
Looking upon the completed creation before him, Yuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride.
"What a magnificent performance!" a sinister voice sneered from the darkness, followed by chilling laughter that sent shivers down Yuan’s spine.
Yuan’s face darkened with a mixture of surprise and wariness as he turned to look around. His eyes carefully scanned the area, searching for the source of the sinister voice that had interrupted his moment of pride. Soon, his gaze fell upon a figure shrouded in darkness, their presence both mysterious and foreboding. Flowing strands of white hair framed their face, accentuating their piercing yellow eyes that seemed to glow with a wicked amusement.
"Kai?" Yuan murmured in confusion, trying to make sense of the unexpected presence. As his divine sense continued to probe further, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.
A sly smile curled upon Kai’s lips, his voice resonating with a velvety smoothness. "Oh, brother Yuan, surprised to see me?"
He let out a sigh and directed his gaze towards Kai, a sneer forming on his lips. "I assume that Brother Kai hasn’t come here to greet me, right?"
A mischievous smile played upon Kai’s lips as he burst into laughter. "What else would bring me here?" he replied, his voice filled with amusement. "Initially, I wanted to see the Serenity Pill and discuss the laws of alchemy with you, Brother Yuan." Kai’s eyes twinkled with a hint of curiosity as he glanced at the cauldron beside Yuan. "But who would have thought that I would bear witness to such a remarkable scene? Truly wonderful."
Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he processed Kai’s words. "So, Brother Kai has just arrived?"
Kai chuckled, his laughter echoing through the air. "Just arrived? No, I have been here all along."
Yuan’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of unease passing through his gaze. "You’ve been watching... all along?"
