Under this body of a young man who wasn't even 20 years old hid the soul of the first alchemy genius from a thousand years ago. His father, the Alchemy Sovereign, was the most skilled alchemist in the four continents back then. Du Feng's talent in alchemy had already surpassed the Alchemy Sovereign. It was just that his Cultivation wasn't enough, so he couldn't refine elixirs of the old man's level.
It was indeed very difficult to refine the Void Breaching Pill with a temporary half-step Essence Returning state. After all, this was a temporary state and not his Cultivation had really reached that level. His control of his Quintessential Essence wasn't that stable. After placing the herbs in, Du Feng started to use his Quintessential Essence to ignite the cauldron fire.
The originally red cauldron fire turned bright orange, then bright white. The leaping fire constantly licked the herbs in the cauldron, and those black particles started to gather towards the center. This was a very magical reaction. As long as the herbs were matched appropriately, they would attract each other.
This mutual attraction due to medicinal properties was a key that only high-ranked alchemists could grasp. There was no need to manually knead the herbs into pills. As long as they were refined in the cauldron, they would eventually form a complete pill.
The pill had already started to take shape. At this moment, Du Feng was already sweating profusely. Even the back of his shirt was drenched. Su Jie wanted to help him wipe his sweat, but he was afraid of disturbing him. After all, alchemy was a meticulous job. There couldn't be any mistakes.
"Brother Du is really capable!"
When it was lunchtime, the number of customers in the store decreased significantly. Liu Yang looked towards the backyard. It seemed like Du Feng and that lady didn't have any intention of coming out. They had already been in there for an entire morning. Who knew what they were busy with. A man and a woman staying in the alchemy room for half a day made people feel that something was going on.
If Du Feng knew what Liu Yang was thinking, he would definitely scold him. He was already such an old man, yet he thought about all sorts of things all day. He was extremely tired from alchemy and was even misunderstood by this stinking brat.
"Gather!"
Du Feng formed a very strange hand seal and shot out a white light. After the white light entered the cauldron, it was like pouring gasoline inside.
Boom!
Su Jie involuntarily took a step back, thinking that it was going to explode. However, when she saw that Du Feng was still standing there, she felt a little embarrassed, so she moved forward. This man was truly a madman. Not only was he a madman in Cultivation, but he was also a madman in Alchemy.
According to the usual theory, the most important thing in alchemy was the stability of the furnace fire. If he suddenly had a fever like this, wouldn't his dantian explode? Exploding a pill wasn't as simple as destroying the pill. It would also cause the entire pill furnace to explode. The higher the grade of the pill, the more powerful the explosion. On the contrary, the higher the grade of the pill furnace, the less likely it was to be destroyed.
Du Feng's Purple Gold Pill Furnace was indeed not of a low grade, but it could not be used in such a manner. Su Jie looked into the pill furnace and found that a pill the size of an egg had formed inside. It was milky white and looked a little soft.
"Split!"
Du Feng's finger gently drew across the air, and that egg-sized pill suddenly broke apart, turning from one into three. Each one was the size of a pigeon egg, and they were quite evenly distributed. Using Temporary Cultivation to refine the Void Advancement Pill was already courting death. He actually felt that one pill was not satisfying enough, and refined three portions at once. If anyone said that Du Feng was normal, Su Jie would never believe it.
"Collect!"
The Void Advancement Pill was successfully refined, but the final process of collecting the pill was not to be underestimated. Many of the medicinal pills in the furnace were of the highest grade, but because they weren't collected well enough, their grades fell by a level, and their prices also fell by several times. And these three were perfect-grade Void Advancement Pills. If they were not collected well enough, the price would not be as simple as a few times.
Three pills the size of a pigeon egg slowly floated out of the pill furnace. Du Feng held a small blue and white porcelain bottle in his hand and gently sucked on the pills. The mouth of the porcelain bottle looked even smaller than the pills, but the three pills were like little mice, slipping into it.
Looking at the "Du" seal at the bottom of the bottle, he felt a lot of emotions. It had been a long time since he had refined pills so painstakingly, and it made Du Feng recall the time when he was in the Alchemy Emperor's Hall. This small porcelain bottle with the word "Du" on it was a medicine bottle unique to the Alchemy Emperor's Hall.
Shangguan Yun had forcibly occupied the Alchemy Emperor's Hall, taking all the medicine bottles and pills for herself, and even distributed them to the adjudicators under her. Du Feng had killed the adjudicators and obtained the Alchemy Emperor's Hall's special medicine bottle from their Universe Bag. He did not know if this counted as returning the item to its rightful owner.
"What's wrong?"
Su Jie asked softly when he saw Du Feng standing there in a daze after collecting the Void Advancement Pill with an unnatural expression.
"Ah, I'm fine."
Du Feng put away the small porcelain bottle and wiped the sweat off his forehead. The process of refining the pill just now had triggered something in the depths of his memory, and he could not help but feel a little absent-minded. From preparing the ingredients to refining, and then from refining to refining, it had already taken half a day. Including the final process of forming the pill and collecting the pill, a day had passed just like that.
"Should we go to the auction house?"
Su Jie looked out the window, and the sky was gradually darkening. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the eaves, and the tiles reflected the last ray of light.
"I'll change my clothes first, you wait in the front hall for a moment."
Du Feng shook his head, sorting out his thoughts. He sent Su Jie to the front hall. He quickly changed his clothes, and at the same time, checked the remaining crystal stones. He did not know how much this perfect quality Void Advancement Pill could sell for, so he had to go to the auction house to try selling one first.
"Brother Du, it's time to change your clothes."
When Su Jie came out, Liu Yang saw that her forehead was covered in sweat, and her cheeks were slightly red. After a while, Du Feng also came out. He had changed into a new set of clothes, and there was no sweat on his face. It was obvious that he had just cleaned up. Usually, brother Du did not sweat when refining pills, but today, there seemed to be something wrong.
"I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first. You stay here and look after the store."
Because Du Feng was in a hurry to go to the auction house, he did not consider the hidden meaning behind Liu Yang's words. In fact, the reason why Su Jie had sweat on her forehead was because she was roasted by the furnace. As for why Du Feng needed to clean up and change his clothes, it was because the grade of the pill refined today was too high.
The auction house was not mysterious at all. It was in Situ Yaoyao's Jiuqiao Pavilion. But today, Jiuqiao Pavilion was very strange. It was not the usual nine-story pagoda, but a short flat floor. It was like a tall pagoda was flattened from the top.
