Su Tong hesitated for a moment as he looked at the alchemy cauldron, which already had a rudimentary form of the elixir inside.
A surge of immense spiritual power erupted.
Feeling this tremendous spiritual power, Old Cao immediately looked towards Su Tong.
Although the others were a step behind, they also felt that this immense spiritual power came from Su Tong.
"Everyone, step back!"
Su Tong spoke calmly.
He then sat down cross-legged, sensing the elixir inside the alchemy cauldron with his spiritual power.
"It's not working. The elixir has already been disrupted and can't be controlled!"
Although Su Tong possessed such formidable spiritual power at such a young age, it astounded Old Cao. However, even so, he could only shake his head helplessly.
The elixir inside the alchemy cauldron had already been disturbed and was now completely uncontrollable.
Upon hearing Old Cao's words, the people who had been hopeful were instantly disappointed.
"Shut up!"
But at that moment, Su Tong didn't mince his words and gave a low drink.
One of the elders couldn't sit still after being shouted at and directly rebuked, "Who are you? How dare you speak to Old Cao like that!"
Upon being shouted at by Su Tong, Old Cao's expression also changed.
However, Su Tong paid no further attention to him.
Instead, he spoke slowly and uttered a true word, "Steady!"
Suddenly, a mysterious power spread out.
The chaotic medicinal power inside the alchemy cauldron condensed and then stabilized at that moment.
"How... How is this possible?"
Feeling that the medicinal power inside the alchemy cauldron had already stabilized, Old Cao exclaimed in shock.
"Why did you...?"
The elder who had spoken earlier wanted to say something.
But he was promptly silenced by Old Cao's low drink, "Don't disturb him!"
"But..."
The elder wanted to say something more, but after glancing at Old Cao, he dared not speak.
"Old Cao, what is... happening?"
At this moment, Yi Hao asked Old Cao beside him.
After looking at Su Tong, Old Cao didn't answer Yi Hao's question. Instead, he said to Su Tong, "It's all up to you!"
Su Tong paid no attention to Old Cao and continued to feel the elixir inside the alchemy cauldron.
He controlled a flame, wrapping it around the elixir.
This flame was not ordinary fire but a spiritual fire.
"What powerful spiritual fire, it can rival a beast fire!"
Old Cao exclaimed when he saw Su Tong's spiritual fire.
Although Old Cao didn't answer him, Yi Hao understood that Su Tong was completing the final step, which was pill refinement.
He ordered, "Everyone, step back!"
With a loud shout, everyone retreated ten meters.
Even Old Cao, with the support of two disciples, left Su Tong's side.
"Su Tong... You must succeed. As long as you can succeed, I'll do anything you ask!"
Yi YuXin spoke slowly as she passed by Su Tong.
Then she left directly.
Only Su Tong remained here.
Su Tong had never refined a Peak Fifth-Grade elixir before.
Not to mention a Peak Fifth-Grade elixir, Su Tong had only refined a First-Grade elixir once.
Although this was already the last step, if any mistakes occurred, it would still be a failure.
"Hehe, if it were directly refined, I might not have the means. If I fail in this final step of pill formation, am I worthy of walking in this realm?" Su Tong chuckled arrogantly.
"Refining the essence of the medicine, fusing the pill!"
At this moment, Su Tong directly recited eight Chinese characters.
These eight characters were extracted by Su Tong from a fifth-grade pill formula.
They could be applied to any medicine within the fifth-grade range, including the pinnacle fifth-grade pills.
As Su Tong uttered the eight characters, a mysterious force surged forth, directly enveloping the pill in the alchemy cauldron.
After this mysterious force appeared, the previously unstable pill quieted down.
Su Tong relaxed and watched the pill in the alchemy cauldron with ease.
"Master Yi, um... who is this young man?"
At this moment, Cao Lao couldn't help but ask Yi Hao curiously.
He had never seen such an outstanding young man before.
That was the Crossing Body Pill at the pinnacle of the fifth grade.
He had failed, but this young man seemed extremely relaxed and... even comfortable?
"This... Su Tong is a friend of Yu Xin. He saved her when she was searching for medicinal materials before."
Yi Hao didn't know much about Su Tong.
He also didn't expect that Su Tong would be skilled in alchemy.
"With this young man around, I'm completely unnecessary!"
Cao Lao looked at Su Tong in the middle of the square and sighed.
No one had expected that Cao Lao would hold Su Tong in such high regard.
"Hmph, what do you know? The most difficult part of alchemy is this final pill formation. Even I have failed at this, but this young man seems extremely relaxed!" Cao Lao coldly snorted.
He paused for a moment and continued, "This alone surpasses countless fifth-grade alchemists in terms of strength."
"Yes... yes, what Cao Lao said is true!"
The elder also felt embarrassed at this moment.
Originally, he had planned to flatter Su Tong and leave a good impression.
But unexpectedly, it seemed like he had praised the wrong person.
At this moment, a wave of pill fragrance drifted from the alchemy cauldron.
"Success?"
Yi Hao smelled the pill fragrance and asked.
He was somewhat excited.
He had thought that everything was about to fail, but Su Tong took over and actually succeeded.
Cao Lao nodded slightly.
The appearance of the pill fragrance meant that the pill had already condensed.
Next, it just needed to be tempered a bit.
"It seems like it's about to succeed!"
Su Tong looked at the pill in the alchemy cauldron and felt quite satisfied.
After all, it was the pinnacle fifth-grade Crossing Body Pill.
Although everything before wasn't completed by his own hands, completing this crucial and most difficult step gave him a great sense of achievement.
This feeling of turning the tide, one word: satisfying!
"It should be almost done!"
Su Tong looked at the pill inside the alchemy cauldron. By now, it had gradually become smooth in Su Tong's spiritual fire.
After a moment, it had reached the most suitable stage.
Su Tong didn't hesitate for a moment.
He directly tapped the alchemy cauldron.
Instantly, the cauldron lid was lifted.
And the Crossing Body Pill emitted a beam of light that soared into the sky.
In the midst of the sky, this beam of light gradually condensed into a dark cloud.
"What is this?"
Su Tong raised his head curiously and took a look.
He immediately realized what the dark cloud was.
A slight smile curved up at the corner of his mouth. "So, this so-called anomaly is actually a Thunder Tribulation. How uninteresting!"
He had thought it would condense into auspicious beasts or something, but it turned out that the anomaly referred to a Thunder Tribulation. This instantly made Su Tong lose interest!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
