"Alright, I agree," Medicine Master Jian said before the time it took to burn a stick of incense was up.
First, even if he provided a large number of Mystical Qi Pills to the young man, he would still have a surplus.
Second, being able to refine a new type of Mystical Qi Pill was very important to his reputation. Think about it, how embarrassing would it be if someone worse than you could refine a new type of Mystical Qi Pill while you couldn't?
Therefore, Medicine Master Jian agreed under these circumstances.
"Alright, that's good. I'll teach you how to refine the Mystical Qi Pill then." With that, Linlong stood up from the armchair and walked directly toward the medicine cauldron in front of Medicine Master Jian.
Could this guy really know how to do it? Xuan Ming couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw how confident Linlong was.
As the others watched, Linlong arrived in front of the medicine cauldron.
All sorts of materials for refining the Mystical Qi Pill were arranged neatly beside the medicine cauldron. After glancing at them, Linlong immediately got to work.
Even Medicine Master Jian and Zuo Han were stunned by this situation. In their opinion, Linlong had at most obtained the formula for refining the new type of Mystical Qi Pill from someone else and then handed it to them in person. They didn't expect Linlong to demonstrate it himself.
They thought this way because Linlong was too young. Refining the Mystical Qi Pill alone at such a young age was a very difficult task.
Moreover, this was a new type of Mystical Qi Pill.
Even Xuan Ming, who had studied alchemy for five years, could barely refine the original Mysterious Qi Pill. After all, alchemy required too much divine sense and fire control.
As Linlong mixed all sorts of materials, the three of them were even more dumbfounded. Linlong's movements were so practiced that it seemed as if he had been immersed in alchemy for hundreds of years.
As time passed, they became even more convinced. Linlong's fire control was extremely strong. Even Medicine Master Jian believed that he would not be able to catch up to Linlong even if he performed at his best.
Could this guy be a freak with extraordinary talent in alchemy? The same thought flashed through all of their minds.
However, Medicine Master Jian soon felt that something was wrong. During the process, Linlong didn't even use the Green Phosphorus Stone or Lianyun Leaf.
Based on his decades of experience, if he wanted to improve the efficacy of the Profound Qi Pill, he could only work on these two materials. Who would have thought that Linlong would actually not use any of them?
"Young man, why aren't you using these two ingredients?" Apothecary Jian couldn't help but ask.
When he heard this, Linlong couldn't help but look at Medicine Master Jian as if he was looking at an idiot. "Green Phosphorus is a fire attribute material, while the Cloud Leaf is an ice attribute material. But no matter what, due to the Cloud Leaf's characteristics and the need for measurement, the Green Phosphorus will eventually be offset by the ice attribute Cloud Leaf. In other words, only the ice attribute of the Cloud Leaf will be left, and the ice attribute of the Cloud Leaf is completely useless for the Mysterious Qi Pill."
"Is that so?" Medicine Master Jian was dumbfounded. He didn't seem to understand the relationship at all.
Zuo Han was also confused. As for Xuan Ming, it was needless to say. He had no idea what the relationship was.
"Sigh, it seems that you've read so many books in vain. Go and flip through the book. Page 135 of the Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine." Linlong shook his head and sighed.
His words made Medicine Master Jian and Zuo Han's faces turn red.
However, the two of them were also people who could see through things. They did not care about their own face. After Zuo Han took out her Hundred Herb Compendium, the two of them directly stuck their heads into the thick Hundred Herb Compendium.
The two of them quickly flipped to page 135. However, they still couldn't comprehend the profundity even after reading the entire page several times. So, they looked at Linlong with a puzzled expression.
"Read the fifth paragraph over a hundred times and you'll probably understand," Linlong said as he controlled the flame of the fire alum at the bottom of the cauldron.
Fire alum was a type of mineral that could be burned. Its characteristics allowed it to be controlled by divine sense.
Even though they were still confused, Medicine Master Jian and Zuo Han still read the paragraph seriously.
Finally, when Linlong finished refining the pill, Medicine Master Jian also came to a sudden realization. He stammered incoherently, "So that's how it is, that's how it is …"
Logically speaking, understanding something like this should be exciting, but Medicine Master Jian's face didn't show any signs of excitement.
He couldn't be blamed for this. After all, he had studied the Green Phosphorus Rock and the Lianyun Leaf for so long. He originally thought that these two things would come in handy, but in the end, it was all a waste of effort.
As for Zuo Han, it was obvious that she hadn't fully understood it yet. She still looked as if she only understood half of it.
"Hmm, take a look at the effect." As he spoke, Linlong picked up the pill from the cauldron and tossed it to Medicine Master Jian, who still hadn't recovered from his disappointment.
Medicine Master Jian instinctively caught the pill. When he saw that its color and luster were clearly different from the Mysterious Qi Pills he had refined in the past, he immediately snapped out of his trance.
He put the pill under his nose and sniffed it for a while, then used his divine sense to feel the pill's energy. After a while, Medicine Master Jian's face immediately filled with shock. The way he looked at Linlong changed once again.
This was because the effect of this pill was clearly the same as the new Mysterious Qi Pills sold on the market.
"Little brother, how did you do it?" Medicine Master Jian asked in shock.
One must know that the new Mysterious Qi Pills sold on the market had new ingredients added to them. However, during the entire process, the young man in front of him hadn't added any new ingredients at all.
Linlong began to explain to him somewhat helplessly.
To be honest, if it weren't for the Mysterious Qi Pills, Linlong wouldn't have bothered to spend so much effort.
After explaining for a quarter of an hour, the white-haired Medicine Master Jian finally understood everything.
At that moment, Medicine Master Jian was thoroughly impressed by Linlong.
"Little brother, who is your master? Can I meet him?" Medicine Master Jian couldn't help but ask.
In his opinion, Linlong must have had a good master to be so knowledgeable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so powerful.
"My master? He won't meet you," Linlong said directly.
Linlong had become much more mature after his rebirth. Otherwise, he would have said that his master was him in his previous life.
"I see. That's a shame," Medicine Master Jian said regretfully.
"Alright, it's good that you understand. Other than the one I just refined, I don't have any more Mysterious Qi Pills on me. I hope you can refine it the day after tomorrow. I'll come ask for it then." Linlong took the pill from Medicine Master Jian's hands calmly.
"Don't worry, little brother. I'll definitely refine the Mysterious Qi Pill in two days," Medicine Master Jian hurriedly promised.
"Then I can rest assured. Alright, you guys go ahead." With that, Linlong turned around and walked towards the door.
Xuan Ming didn't need Medicine Master Jian to say anything. He was already sending Linlong off with a big smile on his face.
The disdain and disgust on Xuan Ming's face had already disappeared completely. Instead, it was replaced by a look of respect. It was no wonder that he was like this. After all, in his impression, his master, Jian Lan, was as knowledgeable as the ocean. Who would have thought that he would lose to Linlong today?
Most importantly, Linlong actually remembered the pages and lines of the books. What else could Xuan Ming do other than suck up to someone like him?
After sending Linlong off, Xuan Ming suddenly thought of something. He asked Jian Lan, "Master, why didn't he ask us to write an agreement? Isn't he afraid that we'll go back on our word? "
Although martial power was respected in this world, an agreement was still useful in a relatively peaceful situation.
"He doesn't need it." Jian Lan shook his head and said solemnly, "Because he knows more than I do. His master is stronger than me."
"This young man is too scary!" Zuo Han, who had been silent all this while, suddenly exhaled.
"Do you know who he is, Medicine Master Zuo?" Jian Lan asked.
Zuo Han shook her head and said, "The one who came with Guard Zhang should be a young master from the Lin family, but I can't think of who he is. From what I remember, none of the young masters from the Lin family have his temperament."
He then added, "But we'll know after asking Guard Zhang," he added.
"Alright, Medicine Master Zuo, you can go and ask him. I'll stay here and study the method he mentioned. Although I basically understand it, it'll still take some time for me to really understand and refine the pill," Jian Lan said.
"Alright, I'll come back and ask you, Medicine Master Jian." Zuo Han nodded with a hint of joy on his face.
Being able to refine the new Mysterious Qi Pill was also one of his wishes. Now that there was a possibility of this wish being realized, he was naturally happy.
