Taking his own sweet time in preparing the ingredients by portions and finely arranged them into spots that are easy for Long Feng to reach when needed, Long Feng inject his Element Fire onto the [White Stone Pill Cauldron] and starts preheating the cauldron into its correct temperature. Due to the special Inscriptions within the Heaven Room, Long Feng easily obtains all the Yang Essence Energy he needs without checking on the YinYang Dial. With the Pill Cauldron is ready to use, Long Feng throws three portions of ingredients into the cauldron, starting with the boiling of [Springs from Volcanic Lake]. Instead of using a container like last time, Long Feng easily adjust his flame temperature to suits the need of the boiling springs and starts with his next ingredients, three portions of the [Flame Swallowtail Feathers]. Removing the unwanted threads, Long Feng next step is to prepare the Burning Lemongrass by extracting its essence within. The extracted essence is mixed with a total of 180 threads, as Long Feng continues with his mixing process, making sure the concoction is nicely mixed before he released the concoction into the purified [Boiled Springs from Volcanic Lake].

This time, Long Feng's result is considered good compared to his first few attempts a month back, when he was just a recent accepted disciple. Long Feng collects the pills from the evaporated [Springs of Volcanic Lake] and calculate the total from his first triple refining. "Hmm, quite good, 20 Lower-Rank and 7 Middle-Rank Pills." Long Feng calculates his total gain from one triple refining and felt satisfied with the results since it yields him a total of 9 pills each portion of ingredients. And with this first success as his momentum, Long Feng continues, again and again, until a full 30 hours is totally used in refining the Internal Flame Pills.

30 hours of refining, a total of 90 attempts by using 270 portions of ingredients. A total of 2430 Pills is successfully concocted. Within the total, Long Feng managed to increase his success rate in producing Middle-Rank pills and managed to cause it to maintain a 40% success rate, with 55% one Lower-Rank and 5% chances of it to become an Upper-Rank Pills. In total, he added a total of 1200 Lower-Rank, 1200 Middle-Rank, and 30 Upper-Rank Internal Flame Pills within his hand. But this amount of pills doesn't entice Long Feng, and instead of stopping, he continues for the next 30 hours, taking up his total closed door cultivation into a time span of five full days at the moment.

Even Nan Jing Jing is feeling restless, but from the resonance of her [Spatial Link Twin Grass Ring], Nan Jing Jing could felt Long Feng's body strength increased and then reduced, it continues again and again, without any sign of stopping. Long Feng continues, for another five days, making his total training time increased into ten days exactly. With another 60 hours of time invested in the refining process, Long Feng now carries a total of 3620 Lower-Rank pills, 3607 Middle-Rank pills, and 90 Upper-Rank pills. His total usage of ingredients also increases into 811, leaving only 189 portions of ingredients left within his inventory.

Struggles to totally finish using all his ingredients, Long Feng decided to refine another 21 hours, and came out with another total of 840 pills of both Lower and Middle Rank, while adding another 21 Upper-Rank Pills. Long Feng know this is the final 9 days before the monthly stipends are distributed once again, so he intends to finish his attempts and leave the cave! "I will prepare the formation now, and temper my cultivation for as much as I could." Long Feng starts arranging the [Elemental Soul Crystals] surrounding him, forming a pentagon shape formation.

"I will try with a total of 50 Lower-Rank Internal Flame Pills first!" Long Feng use his essence energy to groups the Internal Flame Pill in one stack above his head, and with a flow of essence energy, the pill's inner essence is absorbed into the five crystals. Instantly, with the essence from the pill is fully absorbed, a surge of at least five times strong Elemental Fire essence appears within the formation, causing Long Feng to taste the "Flavour" of this one-minute concentration of Element Fire Essence.

"Argh!!" Long Feng is thoroughly burning within the formation. Gritting his teeth and struggles to absorb the Flame into his body to temper the Element of Fire within him, Long Feng put all his attention directly into his mind, and try to guide each single wisp of Elemental Fire to thread within his body with unimaginable speed. Long Feng first 15 seconds of elemental tempering comes with a painful struggle, and on his next 15 seconds, he tried hard to lead each single Elemental Fire Essence to thread within his body in a higher speed. On his third 15 seconds, the pores within his whole body are opened, indicating the readiness of accepting the surging amount of Element Fire Essence. And on his last 15 seconds, Long Feng finally able to assimilate the wisp within his body and transfer them from his whole body into his Elemental Essence Storage within his body, just beside the Core.

But this one minute of struggle brings unimaginable suffering and challenge to Long Feng. "Luckily I only activate the crystals for one minute. If this goes more than a minute longer, perhaps the unprepared Long Feng will be burnt to crisp, because of underestimating the formation and its strength in summoning all the Elemental Fire Wisp. But this time, Long Feng is well prepared. Since he still has a total of 4410 Lower-Rank Internal Flame Pills, Long Feng decided to used 4400 pills to activates the formation for a total of 88 minutes.

"This is really cultivating by using the money!" Long Feng felt the money in his pairs of hand is burning like those ceremonial incense paper. This 4000 Lower-Ranked Pills could yield at least 330,000 Spirit Bronze Coins. But here, he could only use it for not even one and a half hour of elemental tempering. "Ahh... Believe in Great Elder, belief in Great Elder." Long Feng convince himself that Great Elder Ao Luo wouldn't guide him in a wrong path. Spending around ten minutes to prepare his whole body to accept the incoming Element Fire Wisp, Long Feng activates the crystals and inject 880 pills into each piece of crystals, and same as previously, the Element Fire Wisps appears within the Pentagon formation in an instant, and like an aggressive predator, the wisps charge into Long Feng's prepared body to help him temper his Element of Fire!

"Stay calm, Stay calm!" Long Feng continues to absorb the wisps into his body as he rotates his elemental storage repeatedly until the Element Fire Wisps within started to condense into a deeper red colored flame. The circulations continued, forcing his Elemental Storage Core began to expand and deflates, on and off until the Element Fire Wisps started to flows slower. This situation happened because the time still remains within the crystal's activation is almost at its limit. But with Long Feng's current tempering progress is flowing smoothly, Long Feng decides that it would be a fool if he tried to save his cost by keeping his pills unused.

"Come, another 4400 Middle-Rank Pills!" Long Feng withdraw 4400 more Middle-Rank pills and activates the crystal formation for another 2 hours and 56 minutes! His absorption continues, with the repeating process over and over again, Long Feng's Fire Elemental Strength within his body rise in a ridiculous amount of growth, almost reaching the Red Fire Stage. Although Long Feng is yet to enter the Red Fire Tempering, his Element Fire strength is still at least two to three times stronger than a normal Fire Element Cultivator.

Long Feng disappointments could be seen from his face when he finishes spending a total of 8800 pills and not still breaking through another stage. Feeling down and moody, Long Feng exits the Thousand Training Formation Cave and went directly to take a shower before anything else. Since it's already close to three weeks without any shower and changes, even Long Feng himself notice his reek of smells from his sweat. Changing a totally new attire, Long Feng heads towards Nan Jing Jing's room, and instead of knocking on the door, Long Feng send her a message through the ring and received an instant reply.

"Husband, give me few minutes to groom myself, and then I will come out to meet you." Nan Jing Jing replies Long Feng's calling. Minutes later, a young lady in a violet colored clothing appears from behind the door, and come out with a gentle as a breeze of winds movement. Nan Jing Jing's attire today is specially chosen because today is the next upcoming meeting with the other brothers once again. This time, instead of Long Feng receiving an invitation, it is Nan Jing Jing who receives it, since Long Feng is in his closed door cultivation during that period of time.

And because of Long Feng's special status, his employment status had been changed into a Pill Contractor. His job is to provide the Myriad Ingredients Pavilion with sufficient amount of pills whenever he received the order, and since he was in Closed Door Cultivation for about 18 days, Long Feng will be required to prepare the pill so he could have a reason for his delay. With the couple reach the Lotus Pond Pavilion once again, the brothers are already gathered in the same center of the pond once again.

But this time, after a total of almost three weeks closed door cultivation, Long Feng already managed to turn over into a new leaf. Although his Element Fire is yet to reach the Red Fire Stage, with the increase of two to three times compared to his Element Tempering three weeks ago, Long Feng's cultivation could be said to leap over a big step. When Zhe Bie saw this youngest brother coming over from the connecting bridge, the same attack is launched once again.

[Trail of Thunder Fist!]

The lighting fist come charging without any notice!

But Long Feng, who already quite understanding about his fourth brother's attitude, already prepared before hand. With the first coming nearer to his chest, Long Feng's Element Fire is released, causing a circle of heat covered the spot where the two brothers are competing for their martial arts. The only differences this time, is Zhe Bie is cornered when Long Feng applies his [Xuan Wu Heavenly Art] as he moves around looking for Zhe Bie's weak point. "Brother in Laws, please forgive this wife of your brother to participates as well." Nan Jing Jing raises both of her hand, preparing to launch a heavy and formidable attack.

[Qian Kun Big Shift!]

Nan Jing Jing's Early Human Adept Tier strength is cast out, but the bearing of the energy is comparable to an Early Earth Adept Tier cultivators. This attack contains quite an amount of Element Earth and Metal Essence within, thus the results of this attack managed to alter the gravity around the attacker. With her attack successfully launched, Long Feng and Zhe Bie already trapped within the zero gravity attacking range. "Little Sister in Law is strong as expected, please allow third brother Lang Ya to exchange a few pointers." Lang Ya rush to the spot of the fight and prepares to exchange a few strikes as well.

Once again, the seven brothers, this time with their youngest sister in law, is brawling again in the middle of the pond. This time it even caused the waitress to chuckle as they saw how messy the situation of this eight person is entangled with. Soon after exchanging a few pointers with each other, Long Feng introduce Nan Jing Jing to the six older brothers. "I wouldn't believe that our youngest brother is the earliest to get married!" Wang Ping is the first to says, after all, he is the oldest brother among the seven of them, and he has been pursuing a young miss from a family for a very long time. But for Long Feng, he only knows that person called Miss Hui'er.

The gathering ends after the meal and desserts is served, for Long Feng, this is also the last time to meet with his five brothers as all of them will be returning to their respective city after being absent for so long. Especially Lang Ya, who came over to the Clear Jade City for the purpose of heavily purchasing good quality Thunder Spirit Pills. Meanwhile, for Yong Yang, he will return to the Bronze Martial Hall as their upcoming martial competition will come soon.

"Eldest brother, I will deliver the Refining Pellets if I managed to refine any of the Upper-Rank Pills." Long Feng thanks his eldest brother for the guidance and also some pointers in the martial arts topic. "Do not worry about it, oh before I forget, here, take this box of gift, every brother has the same gift, so there is no unfair treatment to everyone." Wang Ping passes a box containing ten good quality [Jade Ginseng]. "Younger brother, this Ginseng is very helpful in cultivation, plus you are a Pill Master, so refining this extract into a pill would boost your cultivation further." Wang Ping explains the specialty of the Jade Ginseng and bids farewell to the brothers after all the kind words had been spoken and heard.
