"Refine!"
Xiao Fan's series of alchemy techniques that were almost perfect immediately put a lot of pressure on the eyebrow-less old man. The pressure in the old man's heart grew heavier and heavier. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a word in an extremely solemn manner. Then, he did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. He activated the furnace fire with all his might and began to refine the pills.
In an instant, the two pill furnaces were like dragons and phoenixes. Waves of strange medicinal fragrance filled the air for a long time and did not disperse. It was refreshing to the nose.
Afterwards, the lids of the two cauldrons continuously opened and closed. Xiao Fan and the eyebrow-less old man were continuously adding in all kinds of necessary supplementary ingredients. They controlled the flames of the cauldrons and used different temperatures to refine them. In the end, even the Scarlet Blood Wolf Bamboo was added.
In fact, if he did not want to teach Lime a good lesson, Xiao Fan could have finished refining the Tiger Wolf Pill in an instant. There was no need to go through so much trouble to refine it bit by bit. He could not even use some advanced alchemy techniques and could only use the most basic method.
However, for Lime's sake, Xiao Fan could only do this. Then, he used the simplest alchemy method that was easy to understand and accept. He patiently demonstrated the entire alchemy process and taught Lime a lesson.
After a while!
Almost at the same time, the two furnaces of pills were finally about to take shape. At this moment, the eyebrow-less old man glanced at Xiao Fan and his eyebrows relaxed slightly. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer felt so pressured.
Admittedly, Xiao Fan's Medicine Absorption Technique in the Void had greatly shocked him. However, the Medicine Absorption Technique in the Void was not something that could only be used by true alchemy masters.
However, the Medicine Absorption Technique in the Void was rare. No matter who obtained it, they would treat it as a secret and would not easily spread it. Secondly, the Medicine Absorption Technique in the Void was very difficult to practice. Without more than ten years of effort, it was very difficult to make any progress.
Therefore, after a long time, the Medicine Absorption Technique in the Void had become a symbol of identity for true alchemy masters.
However, if one could obtain the Void Medicine Assimilation Technique and spend a lot of time cultivating it, even if one wasn't a true Alchemy Grandmaster, theoretically speaking, one could still use it.
Moreover, the Medicine Absorption Technique and alchemy were not directly related. Knowing the Medicine Absorption Technique did not mean that one could refine pills well. Not knowing the Medicine Absorption Technique did not mean that one could not refine pills well either.
As for Xiao Fan's set of flawless alchemy technique, this was not a problem. Alchemy technique was indeed very important in the alchemy process, but there were still many factors that determined the outcome of the pill.
As long as there was a problem with one of the factors, the pill would be destroyed, and everything would be for naught.
True alchemy required the perfect combination of fire, furnace, alchemy technique, medicinal ingredients, and other factors. Only then could a true top-grade pill be refined.
Xiao Fan only knew the Medicine Absorption Technique in the Void and his alchemy technique to perfection. These were the only two factors that were amazing. In the eyes of the eyebrow-less old man, the final victory of the alchemy competition was still uncertain.
At this time, Lime watched Xiao Fan's alchemy process with a strange light in his eyes. He seemed to be deep in thought, immersed in deep and pleasantly surprised thoughts about alchemy.
Previously, when he was learning alchemy under the eyebrow-less old man's tutelage, the old man was always very impatient with teaching. Usually, he would only give a simple introduction to alchemy and let them practice at will. Then, they would discover their own mistakes. As for the old man, he basically did not care about anything. He would only give guidance to the disciples he liked.
However, how could one easily discover their own mistakes if they were in the situation and did not know the situation?
Therefore, even if Lime was extremely talented in alchemy, his progress was unusually slow after learning under the eyebrow-less old man for so long. At the same time, this was also the reason why Lime often flipped through ancient books.
The eyebrow-less old man was too lazy to teach. If Lime did not flip through ancient books and learn by himself, how could he improve?
However, now, under Xiao Fan's intentional guidance, Lime felt as if he had been enlightened. Many of the questions he had about alchemy in the past were easily solved at this moment. His entire body felt refreshed, as if he had drunk a large bucket of ice wine during the hottest days of the year. His entire body was ice-cold and he felt incomparably comfortable.
"The pills are done!"
Following a deep sound, the eyebrow-less old man's face lit up with joy. He shouted loudly. His voice was vigorous and powerful, displaying his powerful strength as a Three Star Alchemist in Pill City.
When they heard the eyebrow-less old man's words, the disciples' faces lit up with joy. They stepped forward and carefully opened the alchemy cauldron to retrieve the pills.
As for Xiao Fan, he was not in a hurry. He allowed the eyebrow-less old man to retrieve the pills first, then he would retrieve the pills later.
"Master, congratulations. This time, you have refined a total of three Tiger-Wolf Pills. Furthermore, they have the shape of nine tigers and nine wolves. They are of the highest quality!" A female disciple took out the Tiger-Wolf Pills from the eyebrow-less old man's alchemy cauldron and presented them to him. She quickly returned with a face full of joy and exclaimed.
"Haha!" Looking at the three Tiger-Wolf Pills in the female disciple's hands, the eyebrow-less old man did not speak. He only stood with his hands behind his back and a proud smile appeared on his face.
The Tiger-Wolf Pill would show the shape of tigers and wolves. The more tiger and wolf shapes there were, the higher the quality of the Tiger-Wolf Pill and the higher the quality.
The shape of nine tigers and nine wolves could be said to be the highest quality of the Tiger-Wolf Pill. In the entire Pill City, there were countless alchemists, but the number of alchemists who could achieve this could definitely be counted on one hand.
At the same time, Pill City represented the highest standard of alchemists in the entire Spirit Domain. It was not an exaggeration to say that the eyebrow-less old man was the best alchemist in the Spirit Domain.
Hence, at this moment, the eyebrow-less old man had the right to be arrogant and proud.
"Arrogant junior, it's your turn!" The eyebrow-less old man turned his head and looked at Xiao Fan. His confidence returned and he said with a cold smile.
"Learn from my master well, Pill Saint? Haha! "The female disciple who took the pills for the eyebrow-less old man covered her mouth and sneered.
"I should learn from him. However, it's you, not me!" Xiao Fan said casually as he glanced at the female disciple. Then, he ignored her and raised his hand. The lid of the cauldron floated up automatically and the Tiger-Wolf Pills flew out and appeared in front of everyone.
"You …!" The female disciple wanted to continue sneering and say something. However, she only opened her mouth and her voice stopped abruptly. She was unable to say anything.
This was because her gaze subconsciously fell on the Tiger-Wolf Pills that Xiao Fan had refined in the air. Looking at the Tiger-Wolf Pills that Xiao Fan had refined, she felt as if she was struck by lightning. Intense shock filled her face and her mind went blank.
By the side, the mocking and complacent expressions on the faces of the eyebrow-less old man and the other disciples instantly froze. After which, everyone was just like this female disciple. It was as though they had been struck by lightning. Disbelief and shock covered their entire faces, and they were completely unaware of it.
In the air!
A total of 18 Tiger-Wolf Pills were suspended in the air. Each Tiger-Wolf Pill had the shape of twelve tigers and twelve wolves. A strong fragrance was emitted from it and entered everyone's nostrils. Although they had not swallowed the pills, they suddenly felt that there was a powerful force surging in their bodies. It was as if they had the strength of twelve tigers and twelve wolves.
How … How … can it be? " The eyebrow-less old man's eyes were dazed as he continuously muttered to himself. His entire person had sunk into deep self-doubt and intense shock, unable to walk out from it.
With the same amount of medicinal ingredients, he could only refine three Tiger-Wolf Pills. However, Xiao Fan could refine eighteen Tiger-Wolf Pills. It was six times more than him.
His Tiger-Wolf Pill only had the shape of nine tigers and nine wolves. Although it was of the highest quality, Xiao Fan's Tiger-Wolf Pill had the shape of twelve tigers and twelve wolves. It was above the highest quality and was of the perfect quality.
When the two sides were added together, it went without saying just how big the gap between them was.
The eyebrow-less old man was completely defeated!
"Your first failure is the poor utilization of medicinal ingredients!" Xiao Fan opened his mouth at this moment and impolitely commented, "In the refining process, you wasted at least seventy percent of the medicinal ingredients and only managed to refine three Dragon Tiger Pills!"
"With such a poor utilization of medicinal ingredients, don't even talk about being called a Pill Master. You can't even become a qualified Pill Master!"
"As for your second failure, your alchemy technique isn't worth mentioning. There are at least six mistakes in your alchemy technique, which led to changes in the medicinal properties of several medicinal herbs. The quality of the Tiger Wolf Pill also suffered a fatal drop!"
"Your third failure is that your control of the furnace's temperature was wrong …!"
Xiao Fan continued to comment, commenting that the eyebrow-less old man was full of mistakes and loopholes. It was as if the eyebrow-less old man was completely worthless.
As he listened to Xiao Fan's comments, the eyebrow-less old man's face was incomparably swollen and red. His face was filled with shame and anger. There were several times when he wanted to open his mouth and interrupt Xiao Fan to refute.
However, just as the words reached his mouth, he was unable to say anything. This was because he suddenly realized that everything Xiao Fan said was correct. Those were all his mistakes and shortcomings. He was simply unable to refute anything.
"Finally, the fundamental reason why I was able to refine eighteen Tiger-Wolf Pills was because of the Crimson Blood Wolf Bamboo!" As he spoke, Xiao Fan no longer paid any attention to the eyebrow-less old man. Instead, he looked at Lime with the intention of educating Lime. He said, "When the Crimson Blood Wolf Bamboo goes through the second transformation, it will become Yang. Adding the water of the River of Spirits at this time can effectively increase the quality of the Crimson Blood Wolf Bamboo!"
"If I were the same as you and used the Crimson Blood Wolf Bamboo without adding the water of the River of Spirits, then I would only be able to refine twelve Tiger-Wolf Pills at most. The quality of the pills would only reach the shape of ten tigers and ten wolves. It wouldn't have reached this stage!"
"If that's the case, what else do you want me to say?"
"And you know how to refine pills?"
