With a sudden burst of force, the lid of the cauldron flew off, and a brilliant surge of multicolored medicinal liquid shot into the air!
The scent of medicine in the room intensified several times over, filling the space with a potent fragrance.
Wei Yi didn't dare to relax.
This was the most crucial step—condensing the pill!
"Go!"
Wei Yi's eyes gleamed as he flicked his finger.
Instantly, an ice-blue flame surged forward, transforming into a dragon of fire that swallowed the floating liquid in one swift motion!
—
This was a technique Wei Yi had mastered after acquiring the Fire Spirit Technique in the Casual Mode—a significant improvement in his control over flames.
Before, if he had attempted this, the precious medicinal essence would have been incinerated instantly.
But now—
The flame dragon coiled in midair, its translucent belly shimmering like a mirage.
Within it, the medicinal liquid swirled and thickened, its volume shrinking at a visible rate, gradually solidifying into a viscous state.
A cauldron was merely a tool in alchemy.
True masters didn't need one at all—they turned fire itself into their cauldron!
And with the Fire Spirit Technique, Wei Yi's pill-refining abilities had leapt forward by another level.
—
After a short while, a perfectly round pill formed within the belly of the flame dragon.
Wei Yi stretched out his hand, and the small dragon obediently flew over, gently depositing the pill into his palm before vanishing into the air.
As he examined the pill, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
A top-tier Profound-grade pill—Windstride Pill!
When consumed, it could increase movement speed by several percent for a short period—a precious asset in battle.
Just like spirit artifacts, pills had their own grading system, divided into low, mid, high, and peak tiers.
And as a peak Profound-grade pill, the Windstride Pill was usually worth nearly a thousand spirit crystals!
—
Under normal circumstances, Wei Yi's success rate for refining this pill would have been less than 10%.
But with the Fire Spirit Technique, that rate had risen to almost 30%!
Even though luck played a small role, this success still exceeded Wei Yi's expectations.
Refining a peak Profound-grade pill meant he had taken yet another step forward toward becoming a master alchemist.
"From now on, I'll be visiting Origin Mall every day," Wei Yi murmured to himself.
Carefully storing the Windstride Pill and cauldron into his spatial ring, he made up his mind.

The Next Morning
As dawn broke, golden sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the air with a soft, dreamlike glow.
Tiny specks of dust danced in the light, carried by the gentle morning breeze.
A faint translucent mist hovered in the air—an indication of extremely dense spiritual energy.
The benefits provided by the system to Luo Chuan were top-tier in every sense.
The spiritual energy concentration alone surpassed that of even the most legendary sacred lands.
Guided by his internal clock, Luo Chuan woke up precisely on time.
Yawning, he stretched lazily before getting out of bed.
Opening the window, he took a deep breath of the crisp morning air.
A beautiful day had begun.
—
After a simple morning routine and a breakfast prepared by Yao Ziyan, Origin Mall officially opened for business.
As usual, Luo Chuan dragged out his reclining chair and positioned it at the store's entrance.
Lying down with his arms behind his head, he basked in the warm sunlight.
—
Life should be this comfortable.
—
Just then—
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The sound of light footsteps echoed through the alleyway.
—
A graceful figure stepped into view.
She wore a flowing violet dress, cinched at the waist, accentuating her exquisite curves.
Her autumn-like eyes sparkled with amusement, and a mischievous smile adorned her delicate lips.
—
Her peerless beauty was complemented by an air of bewitching charm—a combination potent enough to be utterly mesmerizing.
—
"Good morning, Boss."
—
Luo Chuan glanced at Liu Ruyu and responded with a simple "Mm."
