"Very good. You're the champion of the Heavenly Clan Gathering. As expected, you're quite brave. Too bad that you lost because you were too arrogant!"
Song Shiyun didn't waste any more words. He grabbed the cauldron and pulled it towards himself. At the same time, the first bag of ingredients was already in his hands.
"Oh? You're not going to start the fire first and then put the ingredients in? If you don't care about the quality of the pill, then it'll be faster this way. "Ye Zifeng smiled and looked at Song Shiyun's actions.
However, Ye Zifeng had already seen through Song Shiyun's plan. If Song Shiyun continues to do what he says, then it'll be a bit awkward.
"Hmph. If you want to start the fire first, then start the fire first. The order is the same. I'll beat you in terms of quality and quantity. I'll show you how high the heavens are!"
He laughed heartily, condensing a wisp of true essence in his Dantian, and slowly guided it to his finger. A fiery red flame suddenly rose from his fingertip, and the residual power of the flames spread out like ripples, forming a strange light barrier.
Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes revealed a surprised expression. She covered her mouth and said, "No way, Song Shiyun, when did you condense a Common tier flame?"
If a person can condense a common tier flame, then that person will become a huang tier alchemist. As long as they continue to use this common tier flame to concoct pills, they'll become a huang tier alchemist sooner or later. This way, Song Shiyun will be the second huang tier alchemist in Leizhou City besides Bingqian.
Liu Mu looked deeply at Song Shiyun and said, "Young master Song, it seems like you've been working very hard. You've finally made some progress. Congratulations."
Song Shiyun proudly replied, "Thank you uncle Liu. To be honest, I'm trying to catch up to Bingqian. I hope that one day, I'll be able to concoct pills together with her. That's why I'm working so hard."
Song Shiyun looked at Bingqian with a passionate expression. He seemed to be infatuated with her. It was obvious that he had feelings for her. However, this was also a very common thing. With Liu Bingqian's stunning appearance, there were not many aristocratic children who could resist her.
"You're worth teaching ….. If you really grow up and become Bingqian's assistant and concoct pills with her, that would be great!" Liu Mu deeply looked at him. His eyes were filled with admiration.
The meaning behind his words was very clear. He wanted his daughter to bring him to the alchemy competition and not Ye Zifeng.
Liu Ningzi giggled as she pulled her sister's hand and said, "Sister Bingqian, listen, others are working so hard to learn alchemy for you … …"
Liu Bing Qian curled her lips without a care and said, "I'm just putting it nicely. What do you mean by working hard for me? It's clearly for yourself. Besides, what does he have to do with me? Don't talk nonsense. "
While she was talking, she looked at Ye Zifeng. Who would've thought that he wasn't even paying attention to her and was only looking at the cauldron. This made her heart suffer a huge blow.
Ye Zifeng suddenly laughed, "Young master Song, it's not that I want to scold you but you're still concocting pills. If you keep talking, time will slowly pass by ….."
Song Shiyun coldly snorted, "It's only an hour. So what if I rest for a bit? As long as I can beat you, it's fine. "
Song Shiyun had a relaxed expression on his face.
"I won't say anything else. I just want to remind you that your common tier flame belongs to the yin attribute. If you don't use it on the cauldron for a long time, it will burn the yang qi in your body. Do you feel ….. a bit dizzy?" Ye Zifeng had a smile on his face.
"This ….." Song Shiyun was stunned.
What Ye Zifeng said was exactly what he was feeling right now. What surprised him even more was that Ye Zifeng knew that his common tier flame was of the yin attribute. If it was any other alchemist, they wouldn't even know the difference between yin and yang.
Song Shiyun furrowed his brows and returned to his usual cold expression, "Ye Zifeng, you're pretty good at alchemy. However, if you have the ability, you can pick out every single mistake that I make. I'll give it to you. If you don't, then shut your mouth! "
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and guided the mortal level flame on his fingertips into the alchemy furnace bit by bit, starting to heat it up bit by bit.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "That's what you said. You want me to pick out every single mistake that you make. First of all, you're standing too far away from the cauldron. There's no qi valve facing the cauldron. You can't transfer your qi into the cauldron in time …. Secondly, if you close your eyes, you won't be able to control the size of the flame. You won't be able to control the temperature of the ingredients ….. "
"You ….. You ….."
Song Shiyun finally opened his eyes. His expression turned ugly. He knew that what Ye Zifeng said was right. It was his actions that were wrong. Even if he wanted to refute Ye Zifeng, he wouldn't be able to find a good reason to do so. He felt very wronged.
Ye Zifeng smiled and continued, "Also, your control over the common tier flame on your fingertip is too bad. It's flickering and you can't even heat it up. You can't even purify the qi in the cauldron. I'm afraid that the pills you concoct will have a lot of impurities."
Song Shiyun stared blankly. Other than Bingqian and her master, he had never seen anyone in Leizhou City that could say something like this. Everything he said seemed to be reasonable.
"Young master Song, stop daydreaming. The cauldron is being burned by your common tier flame. You might even burn the bottom of the cauldron. Hurry up and control the flame ….."
Song Shiyun hurriedly nodded and followed Ye Zifeng's instructions. He controlled his common tier flame to the point where it was only a small flame.
If it wasn't for the fact that Song Shiyun was in the Liu clan, he would have stopped Ye Zifeng and asked him to teach him a lesson.
Liu Mu saw that Song Shiyun's expression was a bit off and tried to comfort him, "Young master Song, you just need to focus on refining your own pills. Don't fall for other people's tricks."
Song Shiyun nodded slightly. He used his Spiritual Qi to guide the first bag of medicinal ingredients into the center of the pill furnace. Then, he placed it down and began to refine the pill.
Ye Zifeng also smiled, "That was wrong again. The cauldron's temperature is high enough. You shouldn't directly put the ingredients in. You should start from the edge of the cauldron and slowly use your qi to create a bed for the ingredients. After that, you can bring the ingredients into the center of the cauldron. Otherwise, if you do it like this, the finished pill will have a burnt smell. Do you believe me or not?"
"You're right. It's really like that!" Song Shiyun couldn't help but yell.
"That's right. So don't blame the ingredients for not being good. It's already good enough that you guys can't refine the pills. The main reason why you can't refine the pills is because of your refining techniques."
Ye Zifeng sighed and shook his head at Song Shiyun. At this moment, his expression was like a senior lamenting at a junior for failing to live up to his expectations. Song Shiyun listened carefully and didn't feel anything amiss.
"No ….. No way. Is my alchemy skills that bad?"
Song Shiyun's mouth twitched and his eyes bulged out. His voice was trembling. From the beginning until now, all of the problems that he had with alchemy were solved under Ye Zifeng's guidance.
However, his confidence in winning in front of Ye Feng gradually collapsed like flowing soil.
The most important thing was that Ye Zifeng didn't even make a move. At most, he only said something.
Ye Zifeng laughed and reminded him again, "Young master Song, be careful and control the amount of ingredients you put in. You just learned how to use a common tier flame so it's not very useful. It's not even as effective as using charcoal. I can feel that when you use it, your movements are very choppy and inexperienced."
Song Shiyun nodded slightly. Beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead without him even realizing it.
"Then ….. Then what should I do?"
"Young master Song ….." Liu Mu coughed to wake Song Shiyun up.
"I'm ….. I'm sorry uncle Liu. I'm too nervous."
Ye Zifeng was using the aura of a Martial Lord on a junior. It was a bit hard for a young man like Song Shiyun.
Also, Song Shiyun had been listening to Ye Zifeng the entire time. He hadn't even made a single pill yet. This made Liu Mu very anxious.
"Shiyun, hurry up. There's only half of the time left."
Song Shiyun gulped and decided that from now on, he wouldn't listen to Ye Zifeng anymore. He had to focus on concocting pills. He didn't care about the quality of the Qi Nurturing Pill anymore. In the end, this was just a competition of speed. It had nothing to do with the quality of the pill.
Song Shiyun hardened his heart and poured the ingredients into the cauldron.
Ye Zifeng smiled and continued, "Haste makes waste. Didn't your master teach you this before? Two packets of ingredients at once is the limit for a qi refining stage disciple. Even if Bingqian were to concoct the pills, it would be the same. "
When he was concocting the Thunder Spirit Pill, he could concoct three pills at once. However, he was using the method of splitting the pills. He didn't use more than two packets of ingredients.
Song Shiyun's confidence had already fallen to the bottom, "Then ….. Then what?"
"Putting in three bags of ingredients at once … In my opinion, one of them will be turned into slag by you!" Ye Zifeng coldly laughed. A fierce look flashed across his eyes.
Song Shiyun's entire body went numb. Ever since he was born, he had always been surrounded by flowers and applause. There has never been anyone like Ye Zifeng who would attack him like this.
