Chapter 284: Fire Crow Harnesses the Sun

This idea came from the stone pot that Jiang Yun had been gazing at.

Although the stone pot was the alchemy tool he was most familiar with, he knew that there was a huge difference compared to a true cauldron specifically used for alchemy.

The most basic difference is in their materials.

Even though Jiang Yun was using Li Fire at a higher temperature to burn the stone pot, in reality, he divided the temperature of Li Fire in a subtle way.

The real high temperature is trapped inside the pot with the herbs, while the temperature outside the stone pot is not high.

Otherwise, the stone pot would have turned into gas long ago, making it impossible to refine elixirs.

Apart from the material, the biggest difference between a stone pot and a tripod furnace is that every tripod furnace will have various formations engraved on it.

The number and strength of the formations can also be used as an important criterion to judge the quality of the tripod furnace.

Actually, when Elder Han brought out those nine tripod furnaces earlier, Jiang Yun also felt excited.

However, as he scanned them with his understanding of formations, he easily saw through them.

Each tripod furnace had at least five formations engraved on its surface.

This was also the reason why he ultimately chose the stone pot.

Despite the quality of those tripod furnaces, he was not familiar with them.

Especially when these formations are used together, they are just as complex as making medicine.

He didn’t have any time to study carefully.

Without using the power of those formations, it would be better to use a cooking pot.

As for what Elder Han said about "returning to basics", he couldn’t even think about it.

In short, the formations are what this cooking pot in front of him lacks.

However, even if he wanted to carve formations on the pot now, it was too late, so he extended this idea to the mixture that would soon be poured into the pot.

"Since I believe that everything in nature can be used in medicine, it should include formations too!"

"If I only refine it like I am now, then the TianJing Pill I refine will reach a maximum level of perfection."

"If I can add formations to the pill that will enhance its effects…"

"Will the pills created through refining be able to enhance their effects like an engraved formation on the cauldron?"

"However, achieving perfect effects is already the ultimate, what kind of situation will arise if surpassing perfection?"

Although Jiang Yun knew deep down that it was probably not the best time to turn this sudden idea into reality.

Because there is a high possibility of failure with this attempt.

If he fails, all his previous efforts will be in vain, and he will be eliminated from the Grand Medicine Sect competition.

However, this idea kept lingering in his mind, not only refusing to leave but also constantly tempting his soul, making him unable to resist!

After a brief inner struggle, determination shone in Jiang Yun’s eyes.

"I’ll give it a try!"

It’s not because he is daring, but in this final round of the competition, up to now, he is far behind both Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng in terms of speed and the grade of pill refinement.

Even if successfully creating the TianJing Pill and reaching perfect quality, it seems that Jiang Yun would still be defeated by Guan Yiming’s fifth-grade Demon Breaking Pill and Xiao Zheng’s fourth-grade Life-prolonging Pill.

But if he were to turn this bold idea into reality, Jiang Yun himself didn’t know what kind of TianJing Pill he would ultimately create.

And this was his only chance of hope for victory!

As Jiang Yun made his decision, his mind instantly returned to a clear state.

He didn’t even pay attention to the twenty-one types of medicinal liquid that should be immediately fused in the stone pot.

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged, and countless ever-changing formations began to appear in his mind.

"The purpose of the TianJing Pill is to replenish the essence of the sun. In the insights of the formations left by Senior Xue, I have seen several formations that can draw upon the power of the sun."

Many people believe that the Snow clan, due to the uniqueness of their race, would surely fear fire and the sun, but in reality, it is just the opposite.

The Snow clan was born under the scorching of Li Fire. They not only do not fear flames, but are also willing to approach them.

However, the North Mountain is covered by ice and snow all year round, rarely seeing the sun. That’s why Xue Mucheng created several formations that can harness the power of the sun to help his people practice.

"Then, I will choose one of these formations and engrave it into this potion!"

Soon, Jiang Yun chose a formation – the Fire Crow Sun-Attracting Formation.

This formation was created by Xue Mucheng based on the transformation of the Li Fire.

Because Li Fire is a flame that separated from the sun.

The Fire Crow Clan originates from the sun, so when they combine, they can harness a great deal of solar power.

"Li Fire!"

With Jiang Yun softly uttering these two words, the Li Fire, originally just under the stone pot, suddenly surged.

This caused an area of at least thirty feet in diameter to become a sea of flames.

Even his own body was completely engulfed and swallowed by the sea of fire.

With so much Li Fire appearing, the temperature in the Land of Inheritance suddenly rose.

So much so that nearby Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng both frowned and looked at Jiang Yun.

Xiao Zheng was okay, no matter what Jiang Yun did, he always supported him unconditionally.

Plus, there was an Guan Yiming between him and Jiang Yun, so the temperature rise didn’t affect him much.

But Guan Yiming, who was right next to Jiang Yun, was naturally a bit annoyed.

In his opinion, Jiang Yun probably realized that it was impossible to surpass him in this round, so he started trying to influence him.

"These despicable tricks will have no effect on me at all!"

With a sneer, Guan Yiming suddenly patted the five pearl pendant hanging from his waist.

Suddenly, five beams of light shot out from it, intersecting in the air to form a multicolored pentagram shape. It enveloped him and the alchemical furnace, isolating them from the surrounding high temperatures.

There was actually a formation hidden within this elixir pendant!

This scene not only shocked many onlookers but also left them puzzled and confused. They couldn’t understand why Jiang Yun created such a sea of fire.

Although the TianJing Pill was used by the demon race, it was of lower grade, so many pharmacists had once refined it.

The entire process did not require very high temperatures at all.

"Friend Jiang Yun, what are you planning to do?"

"I’m not sure, but I have a feeling that this final round of competition will definitely not be as simple as we think!"

"*Buzz!*"

Suddenly, a violent trembling sound rang out.

The Elder Han from the Land of Inheritance and the sect master from the Grand Medicine Sect outside both had puzzled expressions on their faces, showing a sudden change.

The temperature of the Li Fire released by Jiang Yun was so high that it gradually ignited the air around them.

Even though they were only at the outskirts of the Land of Inheritance, if Jiang Yun continued to burn the area, it would definitely have an impact on the Land of Inheritance itself.

It could even accelerate the collapse of the Land of Inheritance!

Witnessing this scene, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the Land of Inheritance, it was the sect master of the Grand Medicine Sect, "Jiang Yun, whatever you are doing, stop it immediately!"
