Refining Pills

Gu Hua squinted her eyes, she very carefully and cautiously controlled the unruly flame in the medicinal cauldron. She appeased the flame as if pacifying a naughty, unruly, little baby.

Gu Hua was secretly delighted in her heart when she was able to control all the scattered flames. However, she strictly told herself to calm down, because this was nothing more than a mere beginning. Later, there were still things that were even more difficult waiting for her to do, so she must not relax in the slightest.

Slowly, Gu Hua started to experience this medicinal cauldron's merit. This medicinal cauldron seemed as if it was very familiar with her magical powers. After her power entered the medical cauldron, it caused an extremely small hindrance, and almost seemed not to hinder the flow.

Gu Hua concentrated her attention completely on controlling the flame's temperature and extracting the active ingredients from the herbs.

All kinds of different activated medicinal herbs were shaped and refined by the flame, all sorts of changes were taking place in the absolute silence. All categories of medicinal herbs active chemicals were pressed out one by one, and like this, were assembled together. The herbs seemed to mutually exchange their essence when combining.

Faint streams of steam escaped from the top of the medical cauldron, bringing a fresh, cooling sensation into the surroundings. At that moment, Gu Hua clearly felt the spiritual energy around her thickened. 

"The final step in pill refinement is forming the pill. Master during this process, most medicine cauldrons will release a strong pressure. You must control it and if you were not able to control it, even if you won't fail inside the boundless beast, you'll only be able to make a low-grade first rank pill while outside of the space you will fail and you'll have to start all over again." 

The child's young voice rang aloud in Gu Hua's ear. She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with total concentration. 

Forming the pills. This was the final step in refining pills and was also the most important step. Gu Hua couldn't even relax for a second, her pair of eyes were slightly closed. She condensed all of her power and poured it into the medicinal cauldron as she was constantly observing the situation inside the medicinal cauldron.

Bang! 

Bang bang bang! 

Suddenly, a strong force rammed against the medicine cauldron, causing the ground to shake. 

Gu Hua stumbled a few steps back. Just then, the medicine cauldron tipped, falling over from where it was hovering from above the ground. Her heart trembled, and she rushed to take control of the medicine cauldron. 

Cold sweat slowly rolled down the young girl's pretty face. However, she did not dare to lose focus. Her entire being tightened with concentration. But because she was far too nervous, her complexion grew terrifyingly pale and both her hands that were pressed on top of the medicinal cauldron couldn't keep from trembling slightly continuously.

Finally, just as Gu Hua was about to lose control, the medicine cauldron stopped shaking and settled quietly on its base.

Immediately, a rich, sweet scent rushed towards her nose, it diffused everywhere within her space, lingering for a long time.

"I did it! I've finally done it!" 

Gu Hua suppressed the excitement she felt and stepped forward to uncover the cauldron with impatience. She reached into the bottom of the medical cauldron and drew out a string of five pills.

"Congratulations master you've managed to make four high-grade first rank pill and one medium-grade first rank pill. To be able to learn the art of refining pills in just your first attempt. That alone makes you worthy enough to be considered a genius. But, you are the Master of the Boundless Beast. So, this one bit of talent will not be enough for you."
