Chapter 33
“.. The most important preparations for pill refinement are the materials, the pill furnace, and the fire..."
"The older the medicinal ingredients required to refine the medicinal pill, or the higher the grade of the Demonic Beast blood and Demonic Pill used, the better the quality of the medicinal pill that is refined, and the easier it is to succeed…"
"The pill furnace is an alchemist's treasure. The quality and sealing of the pill furnace... To a large extent, it can affect the success rate of a cauldron of pills…"
Elder Lin pointed at a round furnace that was half the height of a man and had pine cranes carved on it and said to Gu Shaoyang,""This is my Qian Yuan Furnace, a fourth-grade pill furnace. In the entire Da Yuan Kingdom, only the imperial family's Four Symbols Cauldron is of a higher grade than it. It can increase my pill formation rate by a full 10%..."
"As for fire…"
Elder Lin opened his mouth and said,"Low-grade medicinal pills use mortal fire. Middle-grade medicinal pills use essence fire. High-grade medicinal pills need to use abnormal fire or heaven and earth fire…"
"Master, what is the Fire of Heaven and Earth?" Gu Shaoyang asked curiously.”
" I've read in the ancient records that there was a Grade Nine Alchemist who used the lava of a volcano to refine pills. It took him a year to refine a Divine Grade Pill…" Elder Lin muttered.
"Refining pills at the mouth of a volcano?" Gu Shaoyang was speechless. His strength was almost unable to even get close.”
Elder Lin nodded." So, a high-ranked alchemist is also a powerful martial artist. My talent is limited and my cultivation is stuck at the late stage of the condensing truth realm. I might never be able to break through to the fifth grade alchemist in my life…"
Elder Lin's words were full of sorrow, but he quickly recovered and said to Gu Shaoyang,""Try to refine a cauldron of first grade Vitality Pills first. If one pill is formed in ten cauldrons, you will pass my test completely and can learn alchemy from me in the future. I've already prepared the ingredients for you…"
The Essence Cultivating Pill was the lowest grade medicinal pill. Generally, it would be consumed by martial artists at the third or fourth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, or used to build the foundation for those who had just started practicing martial arts. The price was also low, two low-grade Origin Stones could buy a bottle.
Gu Shaoyang had eaten a lot.
Elder Lin first demonstrated it to Gu Shaoyang. For a Fifth Grade Alchemist like him, refining a cauldron of First Grade Vitality Pills was as easy as eating and drinking. It was not even considered a proper alchemy.
After a while, the fragrance of the medicine wafted up, and eight pale white round pills the size of a thumb appeared in front of Gu Shaoyang.
"Eight completed pills, 80% purity…"
Elder Lin nodded in satisfaction.""It's still alright. It has been a long time since I refined such a low tier medicinal pill. I am a little rusty. I remember that it was best if I could form ten pills back then. The quality of the medicinal pill would reach 85%…"
Gu Shaoyang observed the attribute bubble that appeared on the pill.
" Grade One Vitality Pill: Vitality x23, medicinal strength x13, poison x18…"
It wasn't that great. He still had 18 poison points left.
"Master, let me try."
Gu Shaoyang was eager to try.
Elder Lin handed the seat to him.
Gu Shaoyang was using an ordinary ungraded pill furnace, and the fire at the bottom was also ordinary.
"Emerald Heart Grass, low grade Origin Stone powder, rank 1 Demonic Beast Blood…"
Gu Shaoyang recalled Elder Lin's steps and carefully threw the ingredients into the furnace one by one.
He spread out his soul power. Just like when he was cultivating, he could clearly feel the materials in the pill furnace slowly melting.
There was also an attribute bubble that appeared…
Elder Lin watched from the side and casually pointed out,“.. Sensing the changes in the medicinal strength and controlling the fire, the most important thing was still the final closing of the furnace, removing the weeds and retaining the essence. If you don't control it well, it's easy to destroy the entire furnace. It might even explode…"
At this moment, the pill furnace in front of Gu Shaoyang shook violently, and a wisp of green smoke rose up…
Elder Lin shook his head slightly and said subconsciously,""It is very normal to fail on the first attempt. Back then, when I first tried to refine pills, I failed a total of seven times before…Hmm?"
Elder Lin suddenly stopped. He smelled a strange fragrance coming from the pill furnace.
"The pill is formed?"
Gu Shaoyang nodded uncertainly." I think so."”
"Open it and take a look."
Gu Shaoyang opened the pill furnace. Instantly, a strange fragrance filled the entire room.
Pills rolled out. One, two…
" Ten pills?!"
Elder Lin cried out in shock,"Wait, that's not right…" This doesn't seem to be the Essence Cultivating Pill."
He widened his eyes and saw that each of Gu Shaoyang's elixirs was slightly smaller than his, but they were as transparent as glass, like works of art.
"This is…This is…"
Elder Lin cried out in disbelief,"A pure Essence Cultivating Pill! Oh my god…"
When Elder Lin's gaze withdrew from the Essence Cultivating Pill, Gu Shaoyang had completely changed. It was as if he had seen a ghost. His eyes were filled with shock, surprise, and disbelief.
It was his first time refining pills, and he had successfully refined ten pills, and they were still of perfect quality…
If someone else told Elder Lin about this, he would definitely scoff.
But now, it was happening right in front of him.
Thinking back to his first time refining pills, he destroyed five furnaces in a row and even exploded once. In the end, he barely managed to refine a useless pill with only 30% purity. Even so, his teacher was quite happy and praised him for his talent...
Compared to Gu Shaoyang, he was as stupid as a pig.
Elder Lin had seen Wei Zhuang concoct pills for the first time. He had produced three pills with 60% purity. He had thought that this was the first time he had seen such a thing.
But when she saw Gu Shaoyang, she realized…
What was a true monstrous monster!
If it was a pity that Wei Zhuang did not learn alchemy, then if Gu Shaoyang did not learn alchemy, it was simply a waste of God's gift!
After that, Elder Lin asked Gu Shaoyang to open three more furnaces.
In the end, he was completely silent.
Ten pills in one go, nine pills in one go, eleven pills in one go…
Every single one of them was extremely pure!
Elder Lin was about to go crazy.
"Come again tomorrow. Let me take a break today…"
Elder Lin waved his hand and asked Gu Shaoyang to leave.
Gu Shaoyang wondered if he had gone too far and scared Elder Lin silly.
He only extracted all the impurities produced during the pill refinement process and secretly removed the poison in each pill.
Gu Shaoyang had just walked out of the Elixir Pavilion when he heard an excited roar behind him.
"Lei Lie, if you dare to snatch this disciple from me in the future, this old man, I…I'll fight it out with you!"
