Capítulo 53: Did you think it would be easy?

Li Jun's body dripped with sweat as he sat beside the cauldron. He followed Su Xiang's instructions and tried his best to activate the formation correctly. She was smart enough to avoid leaving medicinal herbs in the cauldron, or they would have burned to ashes as soon as he began.

Li Jun's soul flame burned a brilliant blue, like the surface of an ocean or the brightness of stars. Su Xiang watched it in awe; she had never seen such a beautiful pill-fire. She now understood why Grandmaster Mao had called him a genius, although she assumed it was a beast flame. Like her teacher had previously thought it was. 

Li Jun sighed with exhaustion as he looked at the glowing cauldron in front of him. He had been trying to activate the formation for the past three hours. However, he couldn't maintain the flame for more than a minute. Without failure, it would flicker out, leaving him frustrated.

"Why is this so difficult?" He asked with a pained expression.
