Xiao Ming hurried out of the room.

Outside the door, Hai Bodong, who had been waiting for him for a long time, immediately greeted him.

"Master Xiao Ming, about the pill..."

"I will refine it immediately, take me to a room."

"Ah F-Fine, then follow me." Hai Bodong was surprised by Xiao Ming's haste, but of course, he would not stop to question him when he would finally go to refine his pill.

Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, he really feared that Xiao Ming would come out and say that he was tired, and would talk about it tomorrow. Fortunately, Xiao Ming didn't do that.

Hai Bodong led Xiao Ming into another hallway.

He finally arrived at the center of a secluded room, Xiao Ming casually sat down on a chair, his eyes looked towards Hai Bodong, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he slowly said, "Pill Recipe, Medicinal Materials..."

"Sometimes, it seems to me that you alchemists are truly enviable. This seal-breaking pill recipe was something that took me a lot of effort to get, to my misfortune, the first time I will use it, it will have to change ownership..."

The pain on his face was not feigned, no one but him knew of the effort he had put in to obtain this recipe.

The value of a recipe that could break the seal was hard to estimate, and if he really wanted to estimate its value, he feared it would be no less than an Intermediate Di Qi Method.

Keeping a warm smile on his face, Xiao Ming smilingly accepted the ancient pill recipe that Hai Bodong had reluctantly handed him, his gaze swept over it, and the three faint black characters of the Breaking Adversity Pill flashed before his eyes.

"The Breaking Adversity Pill, Sixth Tier Pill, has the miraculous effect of breaking most seals, after taking it, one can also form a resistance against such seals in the body. In the future, if one encounters such seals again, one will have a slight chance of being exempted from them."

"Not bad at all."

"Of course, it's not bad, back then, to obtain this recipe, the price I paid... it still makes my heart ache when I think about it now..." Looking at Xiao Ming, Hai Bodong smiled bitterly and said.

"Hehe, no matter the price, compared to being able to restore your strength as a Dou Emperor, this all seems worthless."

After dipping his soul power into the pill recipe and flipping through the contents that had been recorded, Xiao Ming comforted him and then, in front of Hai Bodong, unceremoniously took this ancient pill recipe and put it away in his storage ring.

The rules of the Alchemist world were such that the recipe now belonged to Xiao Ming.

When Hai Bodong saw Xiao Ming's action, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch a little, and after a long while, he could only shake his head in depression.

Perhaps because he feared failure, most of the herbs prepared by Hai Bodong were gathered into about two or three portions and placed on the table, which was full of them.

After putting away the recipe and carefully going through the numerous herbs, Xiao Ming nodded slightly after not finding anything missing.

Looking at Hai Bodong, who was staring at him, Xiao Ming smiled and said.

"Your Excellency the Ice Emperor, I think you should also know that matters like pill refinement have a failure rate, refining this sixth-tier pill, although I am a sixth-tier Alchemist, I dare not give you a guarantee, so if the refinement fails, then..."

"I know, you won't be responsible right? You Alchemists are all like that, you are so strong, could I still force you to stay if you fail?"

Hearing his words, Hai Bodong waved his hand and sighed.

"It's good that you understand, you can leave, and remember not to let anyone bother me."

"I understand."

As Hai Bodong walked out of the room, Xiao Ming waved his hand and the door to the room closed.

Bang!

With a light sound, the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron was released by Xiao Ming.

With a flick of his fingers, a red flame was thrown into the Medicinal Cauldron by Xiao Ming, and when the fire was almost ready, Xiao Ming's palm quickly waved over the table, grabbed the medicinal herbs one by one, and then threw them into the Medicinal Cauldron.

As soon as these herbs entered the Medicinal Cauldron, they would be surrounded by Xiao Ming's flames and refined, finally turning into different colored medicinal liquid droplets.

During the whole process, Xiao Ming's face was very relaxed.

The difficulty of refining the Breaking Adversity Pill was not high among sixth-tier pills, and Xiao Ming could refine it with ease.

The time of sunset came in the middle of the tidy room.

The dark red medicinal cauldron was slowly spinning in the air, with red flames fluttering violently in it.

As it spun, the space around it emitted small continuous waves of energy.

These waves of energy, centered on the Medicinal Cauldron, formed a circle and gradually spread out in all directions, quietly dispersing just as they touched the walls.

Inside the burning Medicinal Cauldron, a thumb-sized purple pill prototype took shape as the flames burned, and at a certain point, an intense fragrance suddenly emanated from the cauldron, filling the room for a long time.

Xiao Ming, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the medicinal cauldron, sensed that it was almost time, and with a wave of his palm, the flames from the cauldron surged, and in an instant, the purple pill prototype was completely enveloped in it, beginning the final round of intense burning.

The flames only rose for a flicker before being quickly dispersed, and with the dispersal of the flames, a round, thumb-sized pill appeared inside the cauldron, faintly glowing purple in color.

The moment the purple pill appeared, a fierce ripple of energy shot out from within the pill, which was partially intercepted as it passed through the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron, but the rest still seeped out and rushed mercilessly in all directions.

Ignoring the fluctuations formed by the pill, Xiao Ming's hand made a movement, and the purple pill descended and landed obediently in his palm.

The surface of this pill was a faint purple color, round and full of luster, on the surface of the pill there seemed to be a strange pattern that had not been created artificially, and these patterns twisted and turned like a special image with a deeper meaning. When one looked at this Breaking Adversity Pill closely, one could feel the strange power contained in it. This power was the main ingredient that could break the seal.

Xiao Ming did not add any additional ingredients to the pill.

Sometimes professional ethics were still necessary, and even if Hai Bodong regained his strength, it would not be good enough for him to warm up.

The pills were put into a jade jar, and the pill cauldron in the room, as well as the remaining herbs, were put into his storage ring, after that, Xiao Ming left his room.

Hai Bodong had already been waiting outside the room for a long time, and judging from his appearance, he should have stayed the whole day and never moved.

As soon as Xiao Ming's figure appeared, Hai Bodong couldn't wait to approach.

"Master Xiao Ming, was the fluctuation just now from the pill that was refined?"

Xiao Ming lightly waved his palm, and a jade bottle was thrown towards Hai Bodong, "Here, this is the pill you need."

Looking at the jade bottle that had been thrown to him, Hai Bodong almost used his hands and feet to catch it, holding it carefully as if carrying his own child, his eyes looked at the purple pill inside the jade bottle, and a hint of ecstasy arose on his pale, old face.

Looking at Hai Bodong, who was clutching the jade vial with a face full of ecstasy, Xiao Ming laughed lightly and smiled, "I've already refined the pill, now you can taste the effect."

"Okay." Hai Bodong held the jade bottle tightly, his old face full of impatience.

He had no doubt about the authenticity of the pill, during the time of Xiao Ming's seclusion, he had long since inquired about Xiao Ming's reputation through some of his contacts.

In fact, there was no need to do much digging, it could be said that the current Xiao Ming was famous in the Jia Ma Empire, a "Once in a Thousand Years Monstrous Talent", "The Youngest Sixth Tier Alchemist", and the Grand Elder of the Alchemist Association. All of these titles were spread throughout Jia Ma Empire.

Desert City, being on the border of the Jia Ma Empire, took a little longer to receive news from inside the Empire, moreover, Hai Bodong had been hiding and drawing maps, so he used to be indifferent to those matters, so he was not familiar with Xiao Ming before and had to go ask specifically.

After knowing Xiao Ming's identity, Hai Bodong had no doubts about Xiao Ming's pill-refining ability.
