He pondered for a long time.

Zhang Sikai suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that must be it. They should have two reasons for doing so. One is to warn the disciples of the various sects that have entered society this time, so that they won't suppress their status as representatives of the spiritual medicine sect's secular world because of the Xu family's sudden change. "The other is to warn the two of us; to prevent us from interfering with the Xu Family's matters as well."

Hearing this, Gu Yiming's face turned ugly. After a moment of hesitation, he asked: "Senior Brother, do we still continue to search for news of the Xu father and son?"

Zhang Sikai frowned, saying coldly, "I didn't expect them to actually know about the Xu Family's matter. This matter is no small matter. Since they have already noticed the Xu Family's unforeseen event, our strategy has to change."

Gu Yiming took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

Zhang Sikai's eyes were filled with malice as he sneered, "What I mean is that since we have already taken control of the Xu Family, we might as well let the Xu father and son off for now. Besides, whether they're still alive or not is still unknown."

After pausing for a moment, Zhang Sikai continued coldly, "Humph, although we can't do anything, we can still secretly take out some pills to help Xu Jinxi cultivate some experts. I believe that even if Xu Jincheng and his son are still alive, and with Xu Jinnan as well, we won't be able to create much of a storm."

Gu Yiming flattered him, "Senior Brother, you're brilliant! "Then what should we do next?"

Of course, we'll be participating in the auction in ten days. Junior Brother Gu, since they took out a Superior Grade Qi Cultivation Pill to auction off, as disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Sect, how could we miss out on such a pill? Perhaps with a Superior Grade Qi Cultivation Pill, my cultivation, which I haven't been able to break through in so many years, will also have a breakthrough.

"Then junior brother, I will congratulate you here first."

"Hahaha! Junior brother Gu, as long as I can break through, I will definitely not forget the benefits that you have received."

"Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother!"

"..."

At the same time, the three great clans of Tiger City, Wind City, and Cloud City, as well as the disciples who represented the sects in the sect, also began sending people to the Cloudburst Market, eyeing the auction items that were being auctioned this time.

In just a few short days, a large number of cultivators had gathered in the Cloudburst City, causing all the inns to be packed to the brim.

At this time, Xu Fan, who was hiding in the Pleasing Hut, didn't know that he was still concocting pills and cultivating.

Within the room, the two Earthflame Seals beneath the two pill furnaces burned brightly, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out from the pill furnace.

"It's about to condense into a core!"

A hint of joy flashed through Xu Fan's eyes, but he didn't dare to be distracted. His mind was set, and he constantly formed hand seals.

This time, this fellow had a sudden inspiration and tried to open up two batches of pills at the same time. If anyone saw this scene, they would probably call him a lunatic or a fool.

One had to know that refining pills was not an easy task. From the first step of preheating the furnace to the last step of collecting the pills, the entire process had to be controlled with spiritual sense or psychokinesis.

During this process, the alchemist's soul, spirit, mind, and spirit energy were consumed greatly. The stronger the soul of the alchemist was, the easier it was to control the whole process. To put it bluntly, refining pills was a delicate task, and one could not be careless in the slightest.

This was also one of the reasons why it was difficult for a Qi Cultivation stage cultivator to refine high-grade medicinal pills.

Refining high-grade pills not only required a cauldron, but also a flame. More importantly, it required a pill refiner to have a powerful soul to control it. Cultivating Qi Cultivators could only use psychokinesis to monitor the process of refining pills. Whether it was the spiritual power of the soul or psychokinesis, both could not be compared with Foundation Establishment stage and above. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, not only did the cultivator's soul become more powerful, but he also had a condensed spiritual sense. His own mana was also more pure and strong, so refining pills was naturally easier than controlling the entire process.

However, Xu Fan was a freak of nature. He had condensed a powerful divine intent at the 3rd level of the Refinement Stage. At the same time, he also had thirteen powerful soul fragments and their minds in his Violet Palace Realm.

In fact, these soul fragments and thoughts were only related to him. If he were to take out the soul fragments and thoughts fragments individually to compare, then each soul fragments and thoughts fragments would be comparable to the soul fragments and psychokinesis of a cultivator at the tenth level of the Qi Cultivating Stage or higher.

In other words, aside from the host soul and spiritual sense, Xu Fan's thirteen soul fragments and subconscious thoughts were equivalent to thirteen cultivators at the tenth level of the Refinement Stage.

To simultaneously refine two batches of pills, perhaps only Xu Fan could think of such a method. In the entire cultivation world, no one else would dare to think like this, much less do such a thing. But in reality, only he and Xu Fan could do it.

From the first of the two pill furnaces starting up, not only did Xu Fan release his powerful spiritual sense, he also used the thirteen thoughts of psychokinesis within the Violet Palace.

Although there were two pill furnaces on the ground, in Xu Fan's eyes, he saw the two pill furnaces as a single large pill furnace. Then, he used his spiritual sense and his will to control the two pill furnaces.

The entire process was very smooth. Xu Fan released his powerful soul power and controlled the two pill furnaces to condense the pills. He chanted one incantation after another, causing the room's fragrance to grow stronger.

Xu Fan's expression was solemn, neither happy nor sad. The true energy within his body was rapidly being consumed as he began to cast spells.

"This is bad, my true essence and spirit energy are almost exhausted!"

As the hand seals continued to fall onto the two pill furnaces, light and runes began to flash on the pill furnaces. Meanwhile, the amount of true essence in Xu Fan's dantian became less and less.

"What should we do? Is it qi recovery pill? Or do you grit your teeth and persevere on the last step? "

Xu Fan had such a thought. If he took the Energy Recovery Pill, he would definitely be able to refine these two pills, but he wouldn't be able to further squeeze out the potential of his dantian. However, if he did not consume the Energy Recovery Pill to recover his spiritual energy, then the two batches of pills might end up in ruins.

"F * ck, let's go all out. At worst, we'll just lose two batches of pills!"

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Fan gritted his teeth and desperately squeezed out the remaining true essence within his dantian. Afterwards, he used the remnants that he had squeezed out to quickly form the last two Core Formation Techniques.

"Puff puff puff …"

A series of light sounds continuously sounded out. In the two pill furnaces, crystal clear medicinal liquids instantly condensed into crystal clear pills. An incomparably rich fragrance immediately wafted out from the two pill furnaces.

"It actually succeeded?!"

Xu Fan was overjoyed. Although he currently felt extremely weak, he still clenched his teeth and continued to squeeze out his dantian.

At this moment, his dantian was like a dried up riverbed. There wasn't even the slightest bit of spirit energy. Even the remaining wisps of spirit energy on the dantian's walls were being desperately gathered and controlled by Xu Fan.

"I'm still short of Spiritual Energy …"

Xu Fan once again channeled his spirit art, gathering and extracting the remaining spirit energy from every part of his dantian.

Finally, enough!

Xu Fan quickly formed a series of pill collection incantations. Several pill collection incantations landed on the two pill furnaces, causing the pill energy in the pill furnace to greatly increase. The entire room was filled with the fragrance of pills.

But at this time, after Xu Fan squeezed out the last bit of his true essence and cast out a few pill collection techniques, this fellow didn't have enough time to check the pill formation situation in the pill furnace. With extreme weakness, he grabbed the pill bottle next to him and quickly swallowed several high-grade Energy Recovery Pills.

Suddenly, his shriveled dantian seemed to have been injected with a sweet spring as it crazily absorbed the strong spirit energy released from the Superior Grade Qi Returning Pill.

The true essence and spirit energy within his dantian rapidly recovered, and his originally exhausted dantian began to stretch.

After half an incense stick of time, Xu Fan felt that his true essence and spiritual force had recovered quite a bit, and his body wasn't as weak as before.

"Eh?"

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Xu Fan's face revealed a trace of surprise and an extremely satisfied smile.

This method was indeed effective. Not only could it speed up the process of refining pills, the key point was that it could also stimulate and squeeze out one's potential to the greatest extent.

This time, Xu Fan tried to simultaneously open up two pill furnaces. Originally, it was just a whim, but in the end, he really did succeed.

Not only was he able to refine two batches of Qi Refining Pills at once, more importantly, he discovered that by squeezing out the potential of his Dantian, his Dantian's capacity had increased by a tiny bit. Although this increase was very small, he could clearly feel it.
