The Yin-Yang Marrow-Cleansing Pill was originally an accidental creation by Medicine Elder while he was refining the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. Its main ingredients were similar, except the core resurrection herbs were replaced with spirit medicines capable of cleansing marrow and strengthening bones.
This slight change completely altered the pill's effect. The true intricacies of alchemy were fully revealed here.
If a child consumed the Yin-Yang Marrow-Cleansing Pill, it could completely cleanse their marrow and restructure their bones, even altering their innate talent—turning an ordinary child into a genius overnight.
For adults, while the effect wasn't as dramatic, it still offered enormous benefits to cultivation.
This particular pill was being refined by Xiao Yan specifically for Ya Fei. In the future, once his alchemy had matured further, he planned to create one for each of his harem.
After all, whether it was Yun Yun or Nalan Yanran, their so-called "talent" was, in Xiao Yan's eyes, only average.
The young prodigies who had come to the Gamma Imperial Capital from the Xiao Lin branch possessed such terrifying power at their age not only because of their Dou Emperor bloodline, but also due to their family environment.
For instance, Xiao Yan and his peers were descendants of Dou Saints and Dou Lords. Since childhood, they had treated seventh-grade foundational pills like candy.
At worst, they had been consuming fifth- or sixth-grade pills to cleanse marrow and strengthen bones. With such abundant resources, even a pig could be trained into a fifth-tier Magical Beast, let alone children with natural talent.
Boom! The Seven-Colored Fire Lotus blazed once more in the alchemy cauldron, but this time, Xiao Yan's expression was more serious.
After all, the Yin-Yang Marrow-Cleansing Pill itself ranked among seventh-grade high-level pills.
Even he was refining such a pill for the first time.
He flicked his fingers, sending two sixth-tier Magical Beast cores—one water, one fire—into the cauldron.
This scene made many of the Gamma Empire's strong cultivators twitch their eyes. For them, a sixth-tier Magical Beast core was already extremely valuable.
Especially the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, now allied with the Yan Alliance, whose eyes flickered with unease. Had Xiao Yan been slightly more ruthless earlier, the fire-attributed core floating in the cauldron might have been his.
After the two cores fell into the cauldron, Xiao Yan didn't add any other ingredients. Instead, he focused on roasting the cores with his alien flames.
Though powerful on their own, the sixth-tier cores were insignificant before Xiao Yan's flames.
Within half an hour, the cores began to show signs of melting. Two hours later, they were transformed by the Seven-Colored Yin-Yang Lotus Flame into pure energy, one red, one blue, crystal clear.
Seeing the cores refined, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and they settled into two small fire lotuses.
In each lotus's center burned black and white flames. The Yang Fire nurtured the fire-attributed core, while the Yin Fire nurtured the water-attributed core.
Once the cores were refined, Xiao Yan finally added the other main ingredients into the cauldron.
Thousand-Year Marrow-Cleansing Flower, Jade Bone Golden Branch, Yin-Yang Foundational Grass—these primary herbs went in one by one. Xiao Yan's expression remained serious. Extracting their essence was even harder than refining the sixth-tier cores. Despite his strength, he dared not be careless.
Three hours later, the main ingredients were refined. Xiao Yan stored their essence in jade bottles and threw the remaining herbs into the cauldron.
At that moment, hundreds of Seven-Colored Fire Lotuses emerged again.
Though secondary herbs were less critical, they required even more time to nurture and refine. A full day passed before Xiao Yan had fully extracted all the herbs' essence.
Finally, with no hesitation, he waved his hand. The ingredients fell into the cauldron like a line of soldiers.
A basketball-sized pill core appeared inside. The alien flames transformed into a massive Seven-Colored Fire Lotus, roasting the pill's core.
Slowly, a lotus rotated, inside which two Yin-Yang fish swam gracefully, exuding an aura of natural harmony that captivated everyone's gaze.
Another day passed. The basketball-sized pill core had shrunk to the size of a fist. Fortunately, the onlookers' cultivation levels were high enough to endure watching Xiao Yan refine it.
At one point, Xiao Yan's eyes shone with a bright light. He formed intricate seals with his hands, and the giant Fire Lotus inside the cauldron slowly shrank, enveloping the pill core.
The lotus eventually transformed into a slowly rotating flower bud.
The seven-colored bud spun gently in the cauldron. No one dared peek too closely; anyone perceptive could feel the terrifying energy contained within.
For about half an hour, the bud rotated, gradually slowing. Just as it nearly stopped, the newly risen sunlight over the imperial capital was suddenly obscured by dark clouds.
"Alchemical thunder! It's alchemical thunder!"
"Heavens! This person has really managed to refine a seventh-grade pill again!"
The many cultivators in the VIP seats rose to their feet, especially the alchemists, who were even more excited. Those from Yun Lan Sect had seen Xiao Yan refine seventh-grade pills before.
For many in the Alchemist Guild, witnessing a seventh-grade pill was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Fuding Zun observed Xiao Yan from the start. His face displayed utter amazement.
When he first met Xiao Yan, he had already considered the boy's talent extraordinary and admired him.
But now, so little time had passed, and Xiao Yan's alchemy was nearly on par with his own.
And Xiao Yan was only sixteen years old.
Such a genius, even in the thousand-year history of the Dou Qi Continent, was almost unprecedented.
Dark clouds enveloped the imperial capital, occasionally rolling with silver-white lightning, its power enough to shock many cultivators.
As the clouds converged, the slowly rotating seven-colored bud trembled and then, to everyone's astonishment, bloomed.
Boom! With the blooming of the Seven-Colored Fire Lotus, a towering seven-colored flame shot into the sky, intertwined with black and white flames.
Accompanying it, a massive, dazzling thunderbolt descended from the heavens, illuminating the entire imperial capital.
