   Both are close to 9.0. They're very good. I don't even want to introduce them because it's too complicated. The first one only has a celestial tower. It's not very useful in the early stages. It's only used when things are delayed. It's generally just for stopping the use of rare medicines. The second one mainly follows the path of demonic cultivation. If you don't become a Buddha, you become a demon. The third one is quite popular among family-based cultivation novels.

    The spiritual ingredients in the pot underwent rapid changes amidst the interplay of lightning and fire, their energy fluctuating violently and emitting a hissing sound. After a short while, the commotion subsided. Si Chen, sensing the heat was about right, removed the flames and looked expectantly into the pot. At the bottom lay a charred, viscous, smoky mass, emitting a strange odor mixed with burnt and medicinal smells. It wasn't even a complete pill, let alone formed. Si Chen stared at the charred mass, remaining silent for a moment. He rarely failed, especially with things that seemed simple enough to him. A surge of unprecedented anger welled up within him. "Why... Why isn't it forming a pill?" He asked, staring at the charred mass, his tone clearly displeased. No sooner had he spoken than something even more absurd happened. Whether the charred mass in the pot understood him or something else, a dazzling light suddenly shone from the "pot"!
