It was a new day after a night of silence!
Ever since Xiao Fan destroyed the City Governor's Mansion of Hundred Flame City yesterday, all the higher-ups in the Fairsnow Manor were extremely respectful to Xiao Fan. Not only did they invite Xiao Fan to the most luxurious and elegant courtyard in the Fairsnow Manor, but they also sent four of their most beautiful virgins to serve him in the courtyard.
However, after doing all this, apart from a few higher-ups who had to stay behind, most of the remaining higher-ups of the Sunny Snow Manor seemed as if their butts were on fire. They packed up their valuables and left Hundred Flame City in a panic with their families. After that, they fled far away and vanished without a trace.
They could not afford to offend Xiao Fan and could only treat him like a lord. At the same time, they could not afford to offend the Sky Sword Mountain either. Therefore, in order not to be implicated, they could only escape in advance before Laozu, who had joined the Sky Sword Mountain from the City Governor's Mansion of Hundred Flame City, returned.
As for the owner of the Fairsnow Manor, Chen Yun, although he did not leave, he had already made all the necessary preparations. He was prepared to leave at any time if the situation turned bad.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Xiao Fan. He only needed to rest. Once he had recovered most of the energy he had consumed to forcefully open the State Gate of the Qingyun Lower Continent, he would set off again and leave this place.
At this moment!
Mu Yang brought the medicinal herbs he had gathered to the Fairsnow Manor. He gently knocked on the small door of the courtyard where Xiao Fan was temporarily staying and asked Xiao Fan to refine pills for him.
Zhao Lingyan, the Crown Prince of the South Continent, and the other supreme talents of the Great Western Prefecture had also arrived. They followed Mu Yang and arrived at the Fairsnow Manor. However, they did not step forward. Instead, they stood at a distance and watched from afar!
At the same time, countless people from Hundred Flame City had gathered outside the Fairsnow Manor. After Xiao Fan had become a celebrity in Hundred Flame City yesterday, the news that Xiao Fan was going to refine a pill that could restore 300 years of cultivation for the Eighth Elder of the Long River Sect, Mu Yang, had spread like wildfire. It quickly became a hot topic of discussion among the people of Hundred Flame City.
Therefore, when Mu Yang brought the medicinal herbs to the Fairsnow Manor, hundreds of people from Hundred Flame City rushed over after hearing the news. They wanted to see if Xiao Fan could refine a pill that had never existed before.
"Dong dong!"
Mu Yang stood at the entrance of the courtyard with a respectful expression. After taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the small door, letting out a soft sound.
However, in the face of Mu Yang's knocking, there was no response from inside. It was as if no one was inside, and no sound could be heard.
"Xiao …!" Mu Yang opened his mouth and was about to call out softly when he was interrupted.
"Creak!"
The wooden door in front of Mu Yang was instantly pushed open. Then, Xiao Fan walked out unhurriedly and stood in front of Mu Yang. At the same time, he appeared in front of everyone.
"Young Master Xiao, I have collected all the medicinal herbs listed in the pill formula!" Mu Yang immediately cupped his hands and bowed to Xiao Fan as he spoke respectfully.
"Good. As I said yesterday, I will begin refining the pills now!" Xiao Fan glanced at the neatly arranged medicinal herbs on the ground and nodded as he spoke.
"Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Xiao. This is the pill furnace!" Mu Yang's face immediately lit up with joy. He forcefully suppressed the surging emotions in his heart before turning to the side and pointing at a purple-gold cauldron that was as tall as a person. It emitted an extremely scorching aura as he spoke to Xiao Fan.
"This pill furnace is not bad. It's not too bad!" Xiao Fan glanced at the pill furnace and immediately spoke.
"This is the pill furnace of the Hundred Herbs Sect. It is made from ten-thousand-year-old purple gold. I also rented it from the Hundred Herbs Sect!" Mu Yang said with a smile.
Xiao Fan did not say anything else. He merely nodded at Mu Yang and said, "Everyone, step back. I will start the furnace now!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's instructions, Mu Yang immediately led the group of young male and female disciples of the Long River Sect to step back. They stood not far away and held their breaths as they stared unblinkingly at Xiao Fan. Their hearts were unconsciously in their throats.
Zhao Lingyan and the other geniuses of the Great West Prefecture, as well as the countless people of the Hundred Yan City who were crowded in the sky outside the Paragon Manor, all stopped talking and became silent. Countless different gazes were focused on Xiao Fan. They wanted to see Xiao Fan refine pills.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Xiao Fan's eyes darkened as he took a step forward. With a light lift of his hand, the lid of the cauldron automatically opened and floated motionlessly in the air.
"Bring the herbs!"
After opening the cauldron lid, Xiao Fan calmly opened his mouth and waved his hand. Immediately, all of the medicinal ingredients on the ground floated into the air. Every single one of them, every single grain, every single stalk and every single flower was separated in the air. They were just like soldiers who were ready to go and were waiting for their king's orders.
"Fire, go!"
Xiao Fan spoke again. With a flick of his finger, a dark flame immediately shot out from his fingertip and landed at the bottom of the pill furnace. Then, with a boom, the dark flame instantly turned into a ball of black flame. It burned fiercely and emitted a terrifying heat.
"Refine!"
Xiao Fan spoke for the third time. He spat out a single word in a sonorous and powerful voice. At the same time, he continuously used 18 techniques on the pill furnace.
After that, all of the herbs automatically flew into the cauldron, and the lid of the cauldron automatically fell down. Dark flames enveloped most of the cauldron, and it emitted an even more blazing aura, forcing Mu Yang and the others to continuously retreat as they began to officially refine the pills.
As for Xiao Fan, after doing all of this, he actually turned his head in an extremely calm manner and once again returned to the courtyard. It was as if he no longer cared about the alchemy furnace. As for the wooden door of the courtyard, it automatically closed after Xiao Fan returned. At the same time, it also blocked everyone's line of sight outside.
The elegant courtyard regained its silence. The wooden door was tightly shut, making it impossible for anyone to see the situation inside. Only the pill furnace at the door stood alone.
Looking at all of this, after a short period of silence and silence, the silence was suddenly broken. Everyone was in an uproar. Intense discussions soared into the sky and resounded through the clouds, almost shattering everyone's eardrums!
"This … is refining pills?" Someone immediately cried out.
"Is this a joke? This is refining pills? " Someone also cried out. "I've seen countless pill refinements, but I've never seen pill refinement like this!"
"I've also never seen pill refinement like this. This young man's method of pill refinement is simply unheard of!" Someone also shook his head and said.
"Pill refinement is an extremely tiring and laborious task!" A white-haired alchemist opened his mouth and said in a very serious voice, "During the pill refinement process, the alchemist can't even be distracted, let alone take half a step away from the pill furnace!"
"This is because the medicinal ingredients in the pill furnace are constantly changing every minute and every second. If you're distracted, you may miss the changes in the medicinal ingredients that you should have caught, causing all your previous efforts to go to waste. It's actually a small matter to have all the medicinal ingredients go to waste. If you don't control it well, the medicinal ingredients will clash and the entire pill furnace, or even the entire pill room, will directly explode!"
"The number of Alchemists who have died because of alchemy is uncountable."
"That's not all!" Another respected old alchemist opened his mouth and said in a very low voice, "In addition to not being distracted, pill refinement also requires a good grasp of the technique. This is because you must use the technique to control the changes in the flame's temperature and at the same time, to control the changes in the medicinal ingredients in the pill furnace!"
"Which one to refine first, which one to refine later, which ones to refine at the same time, which medicinal ingredients need what temperature, how long they need to be refined etc. There are many strict requirements in many aspects!"
"And all of these require you to use the pill refinement technique to control them!"
"However, this young man's current pill refinement method is really unflattering!"
"How is it only unflattering?" A certain alchemist master from Hundred Yan City who had an extraordinary demeanor and whom the surrounding people also showed some respect unceremoniously opened his mouth and reprimanded without any trace of politeness. "This is simply child's play!"
"Grandmaster Wang is right. This is really child's play. It's impossible to refine a medicinal pill!" Many alchemists from Hundred Yan City shook their heads and said.
"If this can refine a medicinal pill, I will break my own hands on the spot and never refine any medicinal pills ever again!" This so-called Grandmaster Wang opened his mouth once again and coldly said.
"I will break my own eyes. This pill refinement method can't even refine the most ordinary Qi Transforming Pill, let alone refine a medicinal pill that is impossible to exist!"
"I will poke my own ears. What kind of dog shit pill refinement method is this?"
"I will break my own legs. If I can refine a medicinal pill, it's my loss!"
....
Some of the alchemists from Hundred Yan City spoke in a low voice, thinking that the distant Xiao Fan could not hear them. They sneered and whispered to the people beside them.
"This … can refine a medicinal pill?"
Zhao Lingyan and the other Great Western Prefecture heaven prides were momentarily stunned as they stared into the distance. Then, they suddenly burst into laughter and shook their heads as they muttered to themselves.
Their views were the same as the people from Hundred Yan City. According to Xiao Fan's unprecedented pill refinement method, it was impossible to refine a medicinal pill in half a day. It was simply child's play to the extreme.
The Nine Leaf Saint Son shook his head and said, "I thought we would be able to watch a good show, but in the end … it's still as expected!"
"This Xiao Fan simply doesn't know how to refine pills!" The Lion's Roar Saintess was considered the most proficient in pill refinement among the Great Western Prefecture heaven prides. At this moment, she opened her mouth and very decisively concluded.
"Let's go. There's no need to watch anymore!" Zhao Lingyan's interest was waning at this moment. She had suddenly lost all interest, and even her disgust towards Xiao Fan had disappeared. She only felt as if she was looking at a stranger. She directly turned around and spoke without turning her head.
However, it was also at this moment that a sudden change occurred!
