The Supreme God

He had finally succeeded in bringing up the fire! Excitement flooded Austin's handsome face.

According to the tenets of the Elixir Foundation, making the fire was the first step to becoming a pill refiner. And his ability to call it forth meant that he had the potential to become a pill refiner. A lot of people who had just started learning to refine pills couldn't even make the fire.

Only ones with a strong, good-quality vital energy had a chance. Besides, it also required having good control of the vital energy. Not meeting these requirements meant that they couldn't conjure the fire.

At first, Austin had only wanted to try if he could make it. But he hadn't expected to be successful just days after his first trial.

Other pill refiners would surely be astonished at this fact. And they had reason to disbelieve it, because it usually took a regular pill refiner one, or even a few years to make the fire. And Austin bringing it up after mere days of learning was nothing short of a miracle.

Austin let out a happy sigh of relief as he looked at the fire glowing in his hand.

With just a flicker of his will, the fire disappeared immediately. What was more, it reached his elixir field through the energy meridian, and settled down in a quiet corner.

"So this is the fire of a pill refiner!"

Austin mumbled to himself. Willing it to change yet again, Austin made the fire pass back through the energy meridian into the palm of his hand, appearing with a sharp crack. He repeated the process a few times, and found that he was getting better at controlling the fire with each round.

It was a pleasant surprise to Austin that he was able to finish the first two steps of pill-refining in just a few days. All that remained was to buy some spiritual herbs to assist him in refining pills.
