Chapter 149: The Rebellion of the Fallen Heart Flame!
In the endless mountains, explosions were frequently heard during this time.
Occasionally, a pillar of fire would rise to the sky.
Even Xiao Ze could not guarantee that every time he refined the Jiyang Pill, the quality would be the best.
The Jiyang Pill was difficult to refine, and once made, it had to be kept stable to avoid exploding at any moment.
Despite Xiao Ze's current skills in alchemy, it took him a long time to produce only six Jiyang Pills.
Of these, three were for the inner academy and three for the Xiao family.
Initially, Xiao Ze also thought of making one for Ziyan and Xiao Yi Xian, but they did not need it.
Xiao Yi Xian did not want Xiao Ze to exhaust himself further.
And Ziyan, who purely relied on her strength, preferred that Xiao Ze use his time to make delicious pills.
Since they did not need the pills, Xiao Ze decided not to put in more effort to make them.
After all, the Jiyang Pill was very difficult to refine.
Xiao Ze also obtained a recipe from the academy's recipe library: the level six Huangji Pill, a high-level recipe!
The depth of the inner academy truly surprised Xiao Ze—they even had level six recipes!
However, as a pill that could directly increase strength, it was not surprising that the inner academy had one.
Xiao Ze inquired and found out that the highest level recipe in the academy was level seven, with none of level eight.
This was normal, as even in the original story, level eight and nine pills were extremely rare.
These levels of pills had great spirituality.
To create a recipe of this level, one needed to be at least an eighth-level alchemist.
And eighth-level alchemists were very rare in this era.
However, seventh-level alchemists were more common.
With many seventh-level alchemists, there was an abundance of recipes at this level and below.
Xiao Ze lost interest in the seventh-level Huaxing Pill recipe and chose the Huangji Pill.
The Huaxing Pill recipe was highly desired by magical beasts.
But for Xiao Ze, it was useless.
Although Ziyan needed it, with her growing strength, she could absorb the power of the Huaxing Herb without needing the pill.
Besides, Ziyan was adorable in her small form.
Xiao Ze was also interested in another level six recipe: the famous Pozong Pill.
Compared to the Huangji Pill and the Pozong Pill, the seventh-level Huaxing Pill was not as attractive to Xiao Ze.
After inquiring, Xiao Ze discovered that the Pozong Pill was not easy to obtain.
It could not be exchanged with credits, only obtained through great contributions to the academy.
Xiao Ze had no other choice, as level six recipes were extremely valuable.
Even the few that the inner academy had were carefully controlled.
Just as Xiao Ze planned to gather the materials for the Huangji Pill and attempt its refinement, he received a message from the Great Elder.
"Go to the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower immediately!"
Feeling the urgency, Xiao Ze quickly headed to the tower.
Entering the tower, he felt the fire energy around him very active.
It seemed the Fallen Heart Flame was in motion...
The flame was not always willing to be confined.
It waited until Xiao Yan arrived and accumulated enough energy to break the seal.
During this time, the flame often rebelled.
Upon reaching the bottom of the tower, Xiao Ze saw several elders waiting for him.
In the center was the Great Elder Su Qian.
"Xiao Ze, as a new elder, you have not yet participated in the sealing of the Fallen Heart Flame. Take this opportunity to join."
The Great Elder handed him a jade plaque. Xiao Ze took it and placed it on his forehead, reading the sealing method.
"...Ready, Great Elder."
The Great Elder looked at Xiao Ze. "No wonder you are an alchemist; your spiritual strength is impressive."
Then, the elders took their positions, and Xiao Ze stood on the periphery.
Since it was his first time, he was not assigned an important position.
With the Great Elder's command, Xiao Ze performed the seals.
The sealing involved reinforcing the existing seal and replacing the damaged parts.
After half a day, they finished the sealing, and the fire energy calmed down.
Xiao Ze knew this rebellion was just a small disturbance.
When the flame accumulated enough energy, the real rebellion would occur.
The elders were sweaty, except for Xiao Ze and the Great Elder.
The elders were surprised by Xiao Ze's rapid progress.
Secretly, they thought: "What a monster."
After the elders left, the Great Elder approached Xiao Ze.
"You haven't neglected your cultivation by being busy with refining, have you?"
"No, I feel my strength has increased."
The Great Elder was amazed by Xiao Ze's humility. "What a little monster!"
"By the way, what contribution is needed to obtain the Pozong Pill recipe?"
The Great Elder was surprised.
"What recipe did you get?"
"The Huangji Pill."
"No wonder... If you reach the level of Dou Huang, I'll give you the Pozong Pill recipe unconditionally."
"But afterwards, you'll have to make a new Pozong Pill recipe."
"This... makes me feel uncomfortable."
The Great Elder rolled his eyes. "Don't be so formal with the academy."
"We have provided all your cultivation resources."
Xiao Ze felt touched and thanked the Great Elder.
"Your refinement of the Dou Ling Dan has improved the elders' strength. Giving you the Pozong Pill recipe also strengthens the academy."
"It's my duty."
"Go about your business. If you need materials for the Huangji Pill, they are in the herb library."
"It's better to give them to someone who really uses them."
The Great Elder allowed Xiao Ze to leave.
