The Supreme God

Two days had passed and Austin went back to the Peace Town.
Austin left his things at the same place where he stayed before. He hadn't checked out of his room in the tavern when he left the
town, so he went back to his room directly.
Austin realized that he still had two days before he would get the medicinal materials he ordered from the pill shop.
So he decided to conduct trials in refining pills all by himself during his remaining stay at the town.
He remembered that he already managed to condense his vital energy into fire. It was enough to refine some low-grade pills.
Austin cleared his mind. He sat quietly at the wooden floor and crossed his legs.
He gently closed his eye and sensed his elixir field with his mind. Austin knew that there was a golden flame burning inside. That
was exactly the fire he condensed with his vital energy before.
He kept on using his mind to control the fire and commanded it to move out of his belly. It moved inside his body and down along
his one arm.
A low snap was heard. The next thing he knew was a fire blazing above his hand.
Its golden light reflected to the whole room as the temperature rose hotter. The sound of flame could be heard as it flickered on
his palm.
Austin took several deep breaths. Then he tried to recall the process of nurturing the fire that he had read in the book of Elixir
Foundation. According to that, he must have summoned his vital energy which was gathered in his palm and nurtured the golden
fire.
Austin continued to draw the vital energy out of his body. The golden fire on his hand grew bigger and hotter as if it was like a
burning star.
This stage lasted for two hours before Austin controlled the fire to move back into his body. . .
"I have done a good job. Now, I will try to refine some low-grade pills!"
Austin courageously told himself as he took out some low-grade medicinal materials from his Space Ring. These materials were
bought from the pill shop he had gotten into.

After he arranged the materials he put on the ground, he put his attention to the Space Ring and took two herbal pots.
There was a black herbal pot which was relatively smaller than the other one. It was from Steward Meng of the Medicine Sect.
Austin got it after he killed him in their battle several days ago.
The other herbal pot appeared slightly larger. It had a dark purple color as if it was a plum. It looked like it was from a primitive
era but could not deny its grace. Austin never knew where this was made of, but its material felt neither stone nor iron. Its
surface had engraved designs of different types of beasts and birds, extraordinary symbols and mysterious runes.
Austin luckily discovered this herbal pot in Great Sage Cloud's pill house.
Austin originally planned to buy a herbal pot from a weapon refiner's shop. Since the odds were on his favor, he got two pots for
free from his adventure in the Cloud Cave.
But he could not decide which one he should use to refine the pills.
Austin looked at each of them carefully.
Steward Meng's herbal pot was so small that Austin could hold it easily with his bare hands.
But Austin was sure that this herbal pot was out of the ordinary. He knew that its former owner used his herbal pot to cause him
a lot of trouble during their fight.
Austin knew that he must learn how to use the pot as a weapon. He thought that this would help him on fights with his enemies.
He put Steward Meng's pot down and gradually held the herbal pot he got from Great Sage Cloud. Austin could sense its ancient
aura as he smelled the herbal fragrance from it. It was obviously an accessory in the act of refining pills for a long time.
Steward Meng's herbal pot did not have this type of smell. Austin slightly smiled and said to himself, "Steward Meng surely used
this as a weapon and not to refine pills."
When the comparison between the two pots was done, Austin decided to choose the Great Sage Cloud's herbal pot as his pill-
refining tool.
Austin returned the other herbal pot in his Space Ring and started to use the Great Sage Cloud's herbal pot as he carefully put it
on the floor.

The book of Elixir Foundation instructed that one must knew every detail about his herbal pot's structure and functions.
Austin lowered his head and observed the herbal pot carefully. "I will check every part of this herbal pot and their functions," he
said to himself.
Its dark purple color shimmered faintly. There were two ferocious beasts engraved at the bottom of the pot. Each of them had
scary tusks in the opening of their mouths. Their throats were two hollow tubes which connected the inside of the pot with the air.
The tubes curved and narrowed as they penetrated deeper inside. Austin looked inside and was amazed by the delicate design.
There was a dark red lid at the top of the pot. It had a medium-sized hole that made a way for the medicinal materials inside the
pot.
Austin continuously observed the herbal pot. He found other smaller holes with ice-silver edges. They looked like a heat removal
system that would prevent an explosion because of high temperature.
The belly of the pot was equipped with a transparent mirror which was made of ice essence. Through the mirror, the pill refiner
could see what was inside the pot.
Delicate designs of beasts and birds were engraved all over the surface of the pot. They were perfectly detailed creatures. Austin
was amazed when he first saw the herbal pot. But he never expected that it could be this stunning.
Austin took the book of Elixir Foundation. He turned the pages and looked for the introduction to herbal pots. He read it and
recognized the functions of each part.
"Now I know that the two beast mouths at the bottom must be the entrance for fire." He said to himself as he touched the part of
the pot.
According to the book, the entrance of fire was the most important part of the herbal pot. It was the essence of the tool. It strictly
required delicate polishing. There was a zero tolerance for any mistake. Once there was something wrong about it, even a tiny
detail, the whole pot would be a complete failure. The more delicate the entrance was, the better it would be for the refining
process. It was a decisive factor in the herbal pot's value.
