Refining Pills
Outside the alchemy room, the walls were covered with array patterns. Everything that was happening in Long Chen's alchemy room appeared before everyone's eyes.
Liu Cang Lan and the other Pill Tower elders surrounded the alchemy room. They wanted to see how Long Chen refined the ninth-grade Spirit Tempering Pill with their own eyes!
Was today the birth of a heaven-defying alchemy genius or a joke?
…
Long Chen had become an alchemist. Naturally, he could see the array above the alchemy room at a glance. However, since he had promised Liu Cang Lan to let him watch the process, he would not go back on his word.
Of course, the Vermillion Bird Firecloud Cauldron could not be seen by anyone.
Long Chen walked to the center of the alchemy room. With a thought, a red light flashed in front of his eyes. The Vermillion Bird Cauldron appeared above the fire outlet in the blink of an eye. However, the Vermillion Bird Cauldron now looked like an ordinary three-legged cauldron.
Outside the alchemy room.
Liu Cang Lan could not help but smile. The elders beside him snorted in disdain. Long Chen had used a technique that everyone knew in alchemy, the Cauldron Concealment Technique.
This technique was not used by humans. Instead, a low-level array pattern would be engraved on every cauldron when it was being refined. It could conceal the shape of the cauldron.
Therefore, the originally magnificent Vermillion Bird Cauldron looked so ordinary in everyone's eyes.
This caused many of the elders to snort in disdain. They were in the Pill Tower. What kind of cauldron had they not seen?
They only felt that Long Chen was stingy. He was using a mid-grade cauldron made of black iron or golden stone as a treasure …
However, if this group of people were to see the Vermillion Bird Cauldron, its appearance alone would cause a commotion.
After all, although the Li Family Elder, who cultivated both alchemy and array, had been annihilated ten thousand years ago, the names of the cauldrons he refined were very likely to be passed down …
Long Chen was in the alchemy room. Naturally, he did not know the expressions of the people outside. He was minding his own business as he took out all the spirit herbs, including the rarest Great Earth Spirit Milk and the ninth-grade Blue Lotus Throne.
Seeing that there were more than a hundred types of spirit herbs in the corner of the room, everyone couldn't help but sigh. There were even some who shook their heads and whispered.
Elder Yuan, who was standing at the entrance, shouted, "It's fine if this person is trying to refine other sub-king grade pills, but he actually chose the most complicated grade nine Spirit Tempering Pill. He's simply too arrogant. If he fails, he'll waste a lot of spirit herbs … especially the grade nine Blue Lotus Throne!"
Elder Yuan's real name was Yuan Fengtai. He was very dedicated to alchemy, but unfortunately, his talent was not up to expectations. He was already in his old age, but he was still unable to break through to the Grandmaster realm. He had not even succeeded in refining a single king level pill.
And some time ago, when he tried to refine a King Stage medicinal pill, he failed again, which almost made him lose all hope of becoming a King Stage Alchemist.
The Ninth Grade Blue Lotus Throne was extremely expensive. It was the main ingredient of several common pills that were closest to the King Rank.
Seeing this item, Elder Yuan didn't know why a ball of anger rose in his heart … or it could be said that it was resentment.
"Elder Yuan, you've done well. The grade nine Spirit Tempering Pill's quality is very close to that of a King Stage medicinal pill. Under normal circumstances, as long as it is refined successfully, it shows that you can step into the ranks of King Stage Alchemists in the next two years. If this pill didn't have a few flaws, it wouldn't be wrong to call it a King Stage medicinal pill …"
"Originally, I thought that this kid wanted to refine a grade nine Spirit Tempering Pill, but I didn't expect him to really plan to refine this pill. Even if he has some strength, this is really a big challenge. I only hope that his strength is as good as his words, otherwise these spirit herbs will be wasted in vain."
…
Inside the Vermillion Bird Pill Cauldron, the remaining Vermillion Bird Fire was still sealed by the array. Although the Vermillion Bird Fire's grade was higher than the fire produced by the Earth Core Fire, the Earth Core Fire in the Pill Tower was more suitable for Long Chen's current realm, so it would be easier to use.
"Refining the grade nine Spirit Tempering Pill requires setting up three spirit grade arrays. Among them, the Fire Melting and Spirit Gathering Array is the most important to draw the power of the flames into the pill …"
"Next is the Rain Array, and last is the Wood Spirit Array!"
Long Chen took out one spirit herb after another from the rows and casually threw it into the pill cauldron.
There were nine hundred and ninety types of arrays in the Vermillion Bird Fire Cloud Cauldron, and the array used to refine the grade nine Spirit Tempering Pill was naturally among them. As Long Chen threw these spirit herbs into the cauldron, he controlled the Vermillion Bird Cauldron to instantly incinerate the spirit herbs and activate the three arrays.
This method was ridiculous to the people outside the alchemy room. Even Liu Cang Lan couldn't help but frown. Casually throwing in spirit herbs like this really didn't seem like an alchemist.
But just when everyone was doubting Long Chen's ability to refine pills, Long Chen moved again.
His hands turned into phantoms, and his palms struck the air like dragons, bringing with them bursts of wind. Immediately, the flames under the pill cauldron suddenly spewed out …
The flames lingered, and the temperature of the entire alchemy room suddenly rose. The Earth Core Fire under the pill cauldron constantly changed with Long Chen's palms, as if it had come alive.
Eight Trigrams Fire Control Palm.
This palm technique was a fire control technique that could be used to refine pills before the Soul Formation Stage.
Whoosh!
As the flames in the pill cauldron rose, the cry of a fire bird appeared in Long Chen's ears. At the same time, the entire pill cauldron rapidly changed in Long Chen's eyes.
Lines of flame crisscrossed all over the pill cauldron, like layers of bird feathers. The beak-like mouth of the cauldron was even more lifelike.
Of course, all of this was still only visible to Long Chen. In the eyes of the people outside, what they saw was still only the afterimages of the arrays.
Put in the herbs!
After the arrays were activated, Long Chen didn't hesitate at all.
He controlled the fire with one hand, and the other hand quickly swept through the surrounding spirit herbs, then threw them into the pill cauldron.
It seemed that he casually took out the spirit herbs and threw them into the pill cauldron, but in reality, there was a lot of attention to it every time. If someone could see inside the pill cauldron, they would see a shocking scene.
The spirit herbs that Long Chen threw in were actually divided into the center of three arrays. Soon, as the spirit herbs were thrown in one after another, three spirit lights rushed out of the pill cauldron!
The flames were like fire, soft like rain, and green like wood.
Within the three arrays, the spirit herbs were actually completely separated according to their attributes …
Long Chen slowly closed his eyes, and the image of the pill dao inheritance replayed in his mind again and again. It was as if he had once again become the ghost of ten thousand years ago.
…
Outside the alchemy room, everyone looked at each other. Even Liu Cang Lan's brows were tightly knitted.
Elder Yuan even walked forward and said, "President, this person's fire control palm technique can be said to be perfect. I underestimated him, but … the order in which he threw in the spirit herbs is completely wrong. It's even a little ridiculous. If this goes on, the spirit herbs' attributes will clash and gather together in the pill cauldron. I'm afraid it'll be lucky if the cauldron doesn't explode, let alone refine pills."
Liu Cang Lan shook his head as he watched Long Chen throw in the pill cauldron.
