Inside the ancient box, a dark green pill the size of a longan was lying quietly. The alluring fragrance was from it.
On the Dou Qi continent, the prerequisite to becoming a true Dou Zhe was to form a Dou Qi vortex within one's body. However, there was a high failure rate in forming a Dou Qi vortex. After failing, one's 9 Duan Qi would drop back to 8 Duan Qi. Some unlucky people might need to form a Dou Qi over ten times before they could succeed. Such repeated condensing would cause one to lose the best time to train, causing one's future to be greatly damaged.
Qi Gathering Powder, its effect was to allow a 9-dan Dou Qi to successfully form a Dou Qi Whirlwind!
This special effect caused countless people who wanted to become a Dou Zhe as soon as possible to drool over it. They yearned for it day and night but could not obtain it.
Speaking of the qi-gathering elixir, one had to mention its creator: An alchemist!
On the Dou Qi continent, there was a profession that was above Dou Zhe. People called them alchemists!
Alchemists, as the name implied, were able to refine all kinds of mysterious medicinal pills that could increase one's strength. Any alchemist would be pulled over by various factions at all costs, and their status would be extremely prominent!
Alchemists being able to enjoy such treatment was naturally related to its rarity and practicality. To become an alchemist, the conditions were unusually harsh.
First, one must have a fire attribute. Secondly, one must have a trace of wood energy mixed in the fire body to catalyze the refining process!
It must be known that the attributes of a human body on the Dou Qi continent were determined by their soul. A soul would forever possess only one attribute and it was impossible for it to have other attributes mixed in. Therefore, it was basically impossible for a body to possess two different attributes.
Of course, nothing was absolute. Among billions of people, there would always be some mutated souls, and these people with mutated souls had the potential to become alchemists!
However, merely possessing a fire and wood affinity spirit was still unable to be called a true alchemist. This was because there was another essential condition for an alchemist. Soul Perception! It was also known as the Soul Shaping Power!
There were three most important conditions for refining pills: Materials, tinder, Soul Perception!
The ingredients were naturally all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures. Alchemists were not gods after all. Without top-grade ingredients, they were also unable to cook without rice. Therefore, good ingredients were very important!
The fire seed was the flame that was needed when refining medicine. It was impossible to use an ordinary flame when refining medicinal pills. Instead, one had to use a Dou Qi flame that was created by the fire attribute Dou Qi. Of course, the world was filled with Heavenly Flames. Some powerful alchemists would also use them. Using these Heavenly Flames to refine medicine would not only increase the success rate by a lot! Moreover, the medicinal pills refined were also stronger and more potent than the medicinal pills refined by ordinary Dou Qi flames!
As refining medicine took a long time, and refining for a long time consumed a lot of Dou Qi, every outstanding alchemist was actually a powerful flame fighter!
The last condition was soul perception!
When refining medicine, the intensity of the fire was the most important. Sometimes, as long as the fire was slightly focused, the entire furnace of medicinal pills would turn into ashes, causing all previous efforts to be wasted. Therefore, controlling the fire was something that an alchemist must learn. However, if one wanted to control the fire well, one must have a strong spiritual perception. Without this, no matter how good the first two points were, it would be useless!
Under these harsh conditions, those who had the qualifications to become alchemists were naturally extremely rare. With fewer alchemists, those mysterious medicinal pills would naturally become even rarer. The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. This was also the reason why alchemists had such a noble and even somewhat abnormal status.
……
The eyes of the youths in the hall suddenly widened when they heard the shocked cries of the three elders. Pairs of heated gazes stared intently at the jade box in Ge Ye's hand.
Xiao Mei, who was sitting beside her father, licked her red lips and stared at the jade box without blinking…
"Ke ke, this was personally refined by our sect's Honorary Elder, Lord Gu He. I believe that everyone has heard of his name, right?”Ge Ye could not help but feel a little proud in his heart as he watched the three elders lose their composure. He smiled and said.
"This medicine actually came from Pill-King Gu He?”Hearing this, the three elders were moved.
Pill-King Gu He's influence within the Jia Ma Empire was extremely great. His medicinal refinement skills were mysterious and unfathomable. Countless number of experts wanted to curry favor with him, but there was no way to do so.
Not only was Gu He's alchemy skill mysterious, but his strength had long advanced to the Dou Wang class and was ranked as one of the ten great experts in the Jia Ma Empire.
For such a person, the qi-gathering elixir that he gave out would probably be worth several times more.
The three elders looked at the Qi Gathering Powder in the jade box with smiles on their faces. If the clan had this Qi Gathering Powder, it was likely that they would be able to create another young Dou Zhe.
Just as the three Elders were thinking about how to obtain the medicinal pill for their grandson, the young man's faint voice that was suppressing his anger suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Mister Ge Ye, you should take back the pill. We might not agree to today's matter!”
The hall suddenly became quiet. All the gazes were suddenly shifted to Xiao Yan, who had raised his delicate and pretty face in the corner.
"Xiao Yan, what right do you have to speak here? Shut up!" An elder's face sank as he shouted angrily.
"Xiao Yan, you can withdraw. I know that you are feeling uncomfortable in your heart. However, we will naturally make the decision here!”Another elder, who was slightly older, also spoke in a faint voice.
"Three elders, if the person they broke off the engagement with today was your son or grandson, would you still say this?”Xiao Yan slowly stood up. The corner of his mouth contained ridicule as he asked with a smile. The disdain the three Elders had for him was obvious. Therefore, there was no need for him to act cowardly in front of them.
" You…" Hearing this, the three elders were stunned. The hot-tempered third elder glared and Dou Qi slowly filled his body.
"Three Elders, Xiao Yan ge-ge is right. He is the party involved in this matter. It is best that you do not participate.”The young girl's light voice rang out in the hall.
Hearing the young lady's soft voice, the three elders 'arrogance immediately disappeared. They helplessly looked at each other and immediately nodded.
Eyeing the three dispirited Elders, Xiao Yan turned his head around and stared deeply at the smiling Xiao Xun Er. Girl, just what is your identity? How could the three elders be so afraid of him…
Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Xiao Yan walked forward. He first respectfully bowed to Xiao Zhan before turning around to face Nalan Yanran. He exhaled a deep breath and calmly asked,"Miss Nalan, I would like to ask if Master Nalan has agreed to break off the engagement today?”
Nalan Yanran's heart was a little unhappy when she saw Xiao Yan suddenly step forward to stop her. Now that she heard his question, her eyebrows were slightly knit. This person seemed quite good at the beginning. No matter how one looked at it, he was also an annoying person who pestered her relentlessly. Could it be that he did not know the gap between the two of them?
She, who was blaming Xiao Yan in her heart, had never thought that her act of breaking off the engagement in public would cause Xiao Yan and his father to fall into an awkward and furious situation.
Standing up, Nalan Yanran stared at the young man who was supposed to be her husband. Her tone was calm and gentle,"Grandfather didn't agree, but this is my business and has nothing to do with him.”
"Since the old master has not spoken, I hope you can forgive me. My father will not agree to your request. The marriage back then was personally proposed by the two old masters. Now that they have not spoken to cancel it, no one will dare to cancel this marriage. Otherwise, it will be blasphemy to the deceased elders! I don't think anyone in our clan would do such a disobedient thing, right?”Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and coldly laughed as he stared at the three Elders.
The three Elders immediately fell silent after being pressed down by Xiao Yan's big hat. In the strict clan, this kind of crime was sufficient to cause them to lose their position as Elders.
"You…" Nalan Yanran was startled when she was interrupted by Xiao Yan. However, she was unable to find any words to refute him. She was so angry that her small face was a little green. She stomped her feet heavily and inhaled a breath of air. The temper of a young miss that had been spoiled for many years was also stirred up. She stared at the young man in front of her with some disgust."What do you want to do to break off the engagement? Did he think the compensation was too little? Alright, I can get teacher to give you another three Qi Gathering Pills. Additionally, if you are willing, I can also let you enter the Misty Cloud Sect to practice a high level Qi Method. Is this enough?”
The three Elders immediately felt their breathing become hurried when they heard the alluring conditions that jumped out of the young lady's mouth. The young people in the hall gulped a mouthful of saliva. Heavens, that was something countless people dreamed of…
After saying these conditions, Nalan Yanran lifted her snow-white chin and waited for Xiao Yan's reply in a prideful manner like a princess. From what she knew, this kind of condition was sufficient to make any young man go crazy…
