When the Dim Darkness Sect had obtained the pill formula of the Scenic Heart Pill, it had indeed been incomplete.
Still, since he had already set his mind on it, Wu Zixiu naturally had to make his preparations as he began deducing and restoring the pill formula.
The pill formula that would be rather troublesome for his disciples would not be so difficult for an expert of the dao of alchemy like Wu Zixiu.
It was just that a pill formula like the Scenic Heart Pill would usually not come to trouble Wu Zixiu. The old man had more pressing matters to attend to.
His plan this time was to probe Yan Zhaoge. Therefore, Wu Zixiu had chased the pill formula out.
Chen Ke recalled Wu Zixiu's instructions as he calmly evaluated both sides of the competition.
As Yan Zhaoge had predicted, that Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster of the Primordial Darkness Hall had made a mistake in his derivation process.
With a single mistake, a second and third mistake had appeared afterwards.
Meanwhile, while that Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster of the Non-Brightness Hall had a slightly lower cultivation base, his attainments in alchemy were superior as he fought steadily and surely.
Victory and defeat were already clear now. Chen Ke did not just end things as a judge. Instead, he continued deducing and restoring the pill formula of the Scenic Heart Pill based on the results of the competition.
As he deduced, he explained to the Dim Darkness Sect disciples present.
Other than watching the commotion, most of the Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners gathered here were also interested in alchemy. Chen Ke made use of this chance to teach them a lesson as well.
The Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners naturally cherished this rare chance as they listened attentively.
Yan Zhaoge was also smiling as he listened by the side.
Honestly speaking, he felt that Chen Ke's skill was still not bad as he deduced and restored the pill formula clearly and correctly. While it appeared rather complicated, his deep foundation could still be seen.
Still, as he listened, Yan Zhaoge felt that something was wrong.
Even as Chen Ke explained to the Dim Darkness Sect disciples, he was actually also secretly observing Yan Zhaoge's movements.
Noticing the gradual change in Yan Zhaoge's gaze, Chen Ke's heart jolted slightly as the words of his Master Wu Zixiu surfaced within his mind.
"Your Master intentionally left behind an error in this pill formula at the end. Let's see if that Yan Zhaoge can discover it."
"If he points it out, you can make use of this chance to communicate with him, listening to his complete train of thought as he deduced the pill formula of this Scenic Heart Pill."
Chen Ke thought to himself. On the surface, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued his explanation.
After patiently listening to Chen Ke's narration, Yan Zhaoge thought for a moment before saying to Chen Ke via sound transmission, "Elder Chen, forgive my rudeness, but it seems that the pill formula of this Scenic Heart Pill still needs to be considered."
While Chen Ke loved to show off and show off, the Dim Darkness Sect was currently still rather friendly towards him. Therefore, Yan Zhaoge did not directly question Chen Ke's pill formula in front of everyone. Instead, he chose to communicate only with Chen Ke via sound transmission.
Chen Keze's eyes narrowed. "He really found out!"
Chen Ke also pondered over this pill formula and found that his master Wu Zixiu's derivation was very perfect.
Although Wu Zixiu had purposely left a mistake, it was actually very well hidden. If he did not explain it in advance and let Chen Ke look at it himself, he would not be able to discover it even after looking at it a few times. He would need to look at it a few more times before he could discover the problem.
In fact, according to Chen Ke's analysis, it wasn't accurate to call it a mistake. It was more appropriate to call it a flaw.
If he directly followed the current pill formula to start the furnace to refine the pill, it was not necessarily impossible to refine the pill, but the quality of the pill would be a little worse.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge had actually immediately discovered it?
"This person shouldn't possess the original pill formula of the Scenic Heart Pill of pre-Great Calamity times, right?" Chen Ke could not help but wonder.
While he was doubtful, his expression was calm as he similarly replied via sound transmission, "Oh? The pill formula of this Scenic Heart Pill has always been lost after the Great Calamity. Our sect only managed to obtain an incomplete pill formula by chance. Could it be that Young Master Yan has a complete pill formula of pre-Great Calamity times? "
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "That's not it. It is just that during the competition between your sect's disciples just now, this Yan also attempted to divine it for a bit."
Chen Ke asked slowly, "I wonder if Young Master Yan has anything to say?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "In the formula, the Thousand Scales Blood Droplet's portion is five percent too much."
"Huh … huh?" Chen Ke was just about to nod when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This was different from the flaw that Wu Zixiu had told him about!
"So it's someone who pretends to know when he doesn't," A look of surprise flashed through Chen Ke's eyes as he unconsciously wanted to retort.
Yet, the words stopped at the tip of his tongue. Chen Ke was also someone proficient in alchemy. Carefully thinking about Yan Zhaoge's words, he suddenly felt that … it seemed like … there might be some logic to it?
This caused Chen Ke to feel shocked.
Yan Zhaoge, however, continued, "Also, the portion of the Clear Scenic Stone has been reduced by thirty percent. It would be better to add a bit more."
"Also, the core of the Grand Harmony Grass seems to already be extinct? It is not impossible to replace it with the flower core of the Bright Cloud Flower. Still, I think that using the core of the Middle Dragon Grass would be more effective. "
"Other than that, I feel that it would be better to first dry the East Acorns before grinding them into powder. That would be more effective."
"Finally, if the pill is pulled out when the furnace is opened, it would be easier to produce the pill, saving on medicinal ingredients."
After saying thus, Yan Zhaoge looked sincerely at Chen Ke, "These are all just some minor flaws. I might have been nitpicking a little. Still, I see that Elder Chen's derivation process was extremely exquisite. It is just that due to being rushed, some details were overlooked. If you could pay attention to them, this Scenic Heart Pill's pill formula would basically be perfect."
"Of course, I am referring to the results that can be achieved under the current circumstances."
He had indeed not thought too much about it. On the contrary, Yan Zhaoge really felt that the pill formula that Chen Ke had given him was already pretty good, just that it was rather a pity that it had not been able to be done to its best.
Therefore, his earlier intention of showing the other party a thing or two had gradually faded. Now, he felt that he might as well just help Chen Ke out.
Chen Ke glanced deeply at Yan Zhaoge. He was already unable to hear what Yan Zhaoge had said afterwards as his mind was completely filled with the improvements that Yan Zhaoge had made to the Scenic Heart Pill formula that he possessed earlier.
Other than the East Acorns powdered, which Wu Zixiu had already pointed out to him, the other points were all problems that the two of them had never thought of before.
Chen Ke was a knowledgeable person. After carefully pondering over it, he felt that Yan Zhaoge's words were all true, feeling that they made more and more sense the more he thought about it.
Still, it was precisely because of this that he felt even more shocked.
Chen Ke forcibly composed himself, asking Yan Zhaoge how he had derived the pill formula.
He wanted to prove one last time whether Yan Zhaoge had long since possessed the original formula for the Scenic Heart Pill.
After carefully appraising him with a glance now, Yan Zhaoge nonchalantly gave him a few pointers. Hearing this, Chen Ke completely lost his temper.
He had no choice but to accept it.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge who was not even thirty years of age, Chen Ke even felt a little dazed for a time.
After taking his leave, he returned to the secluded room where Wu Zixiu and Nie Sheng were still anxiously waiting.
Hearing Chen Ke's narration, Wu Zixiu was dazed on the spot.
When the old man recovered, he could not help but smile bitterly. Afraid that he would be put in a difficult position, Nie Sheng hurriedly said, "This person is indeed skilled in alchemy. Still, I believe that Elder Wu should also be able to see through his background. Our target has still been achieved at the end."
"Target?" The corners of Wu Zixiu's mouth twitched as he revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying, "I can see through it, but it's the same as not seeing through it. No, it should be worse than not seeing through it."
