"You ….." Yang Jing's expression changed and her body started to tremble.
In Leizhou City, any man that saw her would be filled with fear and trepidation and would answer any questions she had. Who would keep her in suspense like Ye Zifeng? This guy was too despicable.
"Alright. I'm going to start concocting. Please don't disturb me."
When Ye Zifeng turned around and looked at the cauldron, his expression changed. It was as if he had changed into a different person.
Although the Pure Yang Dan was not as hard to concoct as the rumors said, it was still not an easy task for a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining. If there was even the slightest mistake, he would end up like Song Shiyun and end up with a furnace full of slag.
He stared at the entrance of the cauldron's spiritual qi valve. With one hand, he slowly channeled his spiritual qi of the fifth level into the cauldron and began to warm the herbs. His other hand seemed to be calculating something. After a while, he placed pieces of wood on top of the fire.
Yang Xue knew how powerful Ye Zifeng was. Her expression changed, "Multitasking. Using both qi and fire at the same time. This is something only an experienced alchemist can do. This Ye Zifeng really isn't simple."
She stared at the amount of wood Ye Zifeng put in. Every time he did it, she would cry out in surprise.
Liu Mu furrowed his brows and turned around to look at Bingqian, "Qian-er, could it be that Ye Zifeng's multitasking is that amazing?"
Liu Bing Qian came back to her senses from the surprise and pursed her lips to giggle.
"Of course it's amazing. Once he closes the cauldron, he has to send his qi into the cauldron to warm up the ingredients. He can only do this by feeling. Other than that, Ye Zifeng is also calculating the temperature of the flames and changing the amount of wood he puts in. Dad, look carefully. Is the amount of wood he puts in different every time?"
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Liu Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Zifeng's hand.
The first time, he put in two pieces of wood. The second time, he put in a big piece of wood. The third time, Ye Zifeng split the big piece of wood in half and put one of the pieces into the cauldron.
"As expected, the amount of wood is different every time. I didn't think that a mere fire control technique would have so many secrets ….. But this is strange. As far as I know, Ye Zifeng doesn't have any alchemy masters. Could it be that he taught himself?"
Liu Mu looked at Ye Zifeng with a shocked expression.
"I don't know about that. Maybe he really taught himself …." Bingqian shook her head. She hadn't known Ye Zifeng for a long time and felt that he was hiding some sort of big secret. However, since Ye Zifeng didn't want to tell her, she didn't want to ask.
The only thing she could be sure of was that the Ye clan didn't have any alchemy masters. If Ye Zifeng wanted to learn, he would have to look through some alchemy books.
…
The Pure Yang Pill had already been concocting for a while. On top of the pill furnace, waves of purple Qi were gradually emitted.
"What … what's so special about this purple gas?"
Liu Mu saw that something was wrong and couldn't help but ask. He thought that Ye Zifeng wouldn't be able to concoct the Pure Yang Pill. However, when he saw the shocked expressions on the two girls' faces, he knew that Ye Zifeng was on the path to success.
This way, his plan of getting a 10% share of the Ye clan's business network would be ruined.
Bingqian smiled and explained, "Since the purple Qi is coming out, it means that the ingredients are slowly melting and fusing with the qi. This is the first step to concoct the pill."
Liu Mu was startled and furrowed his brows. If Ye Zifeng really did concoct the pill, then what would happen?
He winked at Liu Yige, asking him to come over. Liu Yige understood and hurried over to his side.
"Master, what are your orders?"
Liu Mu lowered his voice and whispered, "It seems like this Ye Zifeng can really concoct the Pure Yang Pill. We can't just sit here and wait."
Liu Yige was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Master, what do you mean …..?"
"Look …." Liu Mu coldly laughed and pointed at where Ye Zifeng was.
Liu Yige didn't react immediately. He scratched his head and asked, "This ….. I hope master can tell me."
Liu Mu grumpily looked at him and whispered, "Idiot. Blockhead!"
"Blockhead?" Liu Yige thought that Liu Mu was scolding him and felt wronged. However, when he looked at the blockhead next to Ye Zifeng, he realized that he wasn't an idiot and immediately understood what was going on.
The master of the Liu clan wanted him to do something to the blockhead.
After Liu Yige understood what was going on, he coldly smiled, "Alright. I understand master. I'll do it right now."
"Make it low-key, don't make it too exaggerated …" Liu Mu smiled in satisfaction and nodded.
"Of course."
Liu Yige's eyes suddenly became sharp. He carefully looked around and saw that no one was looking at him. He then quietly left …..
When he came back, a servant brought the new blockhead and placed it next to Ye Zifeng.
Ye Zifeng was completely focused on concocting the pill. The Pure Yang Pill had reached its most important moment.
However, when he picked up a new piece of wood, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He weighed it in his hand a few times and immediately knew what had happened.
He furrowed his brows and turned around to look at Liu Mu. This old fox's expression didn't change at all. However, he had a cold smile on his face. He was waiting for Ye Zifeng to make a fool out of himself.
As the master of the Liu clan, this was the first time he was this shameless towards a junior.
"Nephew Zifeng, why aren't you focusing on concocting the pill? Instead, you're staring at me. Is there a problem?"
Ye Zifeng smiled, "I want to say something. The new blockhead seems to be a bit too light ….."
Liu Bingqian was shocked, "Could it be that these new blockheads are all hollow wood?" While saying that, she picked up a new piece of blockhead and looked at it carefully. Her face immediately turned pale, "Father, what's going on?"
To concoct pills, one needs to use solid wood. This is common knowledge for alchemists. If they use hollow wood, the fire will be too weak and won't be able to form the pill.
Hearing this, Liu Mu's expression changed. He coldly looked at the servants and said, "You bastards. What are you doing? Who told you to bring hollow wood over? Hurry up and go to the back courtyard and bring some solid wood over! "
"I'm sorry master. I saw that there was some wood left in the front courtyard so I brought it over. I didn't know that it couldn't be used to concoct pills. I'm really sorry. I'll go to the back courtyard now!"
This servant had already been hinted at by Liu Yige earlier, so he couldn't help but apologize and turn around to leave.
Ye Zifeng coldly snorted and waved his hand at the servant, "No need. If I wait for you to come back, I'm afraid that the fire in my cauldron would've run out a long time ago ….."
Liu Mu pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, "Nephew Zifeng, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that my servant would be so useless. I hope you can forgive me."
Ye Zifeng's expression was extremely cold. Liu Mu was cheating. In order to win, he was being shameless.
"Whatever. When I decided to come to the Liu clan alone, I was already prepared for something like this to happen."
Ye Zifeng sighed and turned around to look at the cauldron. His expression became even more serious. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Liu Yige and Liu Mu looked at each other with a shocked expression. From the looks of it, it seems like Ye Zifeng still wants to continue concocting pills.
"Ye Zifeng, if you waste this cauldron of ingredients, you'll lose. That's what you promised. You only have one chance! "Liu Yige couldn't help but remind Ye Zifeng.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do!" Ye Zifeng threw the last piece of wood into the cauldron. His eyes narrowed and a strange light appeared on his body. On his fingertip, a weak light slowly flowed into the cauldron.
Yang Jing's expression changed and stood up, "Your fingertip is glowing. This is a sign that you're about to condense a common tier flame. On the path of alchemy, are you going to step into the realm of a Huang level alchemist very soon? "
Ye Zifeng was in a critical moment right now. He didn't have the time to answer her question.
He was at the fifth stage of qi refining right now. If he wasn't forced, he wouldn't try to condense a flame with his fingertip. After all, if his cultivation wasn't strong enough, not only would he fail, he might even suffer from a backlash.
Because of this, he didn't expect to congeal the flames now. He only hoped to congeal the Fire Qi so that it could coordinate with the heat emitted by the last piece of wood and help him refine the Dan!
"You have to succeed ….." Bingqian's body was trembling. Her heart was in her throat. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes, praying for Ye Zifeng to succeed.
After a while, the cauldron started to shake violently. A hissing sound could be heard from time to time. It was clear that the last piece of wood had been burned to its limit. The temperature of the flame inside the cauldron was starting to drop. Hearing this sound, Bingqian's heart started to beat even faster.
After a long time, the cauldron slowly calmed down. In the end, it didn't move at all. It was extremely quiet.
"It's over!"
Ye Feng gasped for breath and let out a long sigh. His back was also covered in cold sweat.
"Since it's like this, hurry up and open it." Liu Mu's expression turned serious as he stared at the cauldron in front of Ye Zifeng.
Indeed. Ye Zifeng had finished concocting. It's time to open the cauldron and let everyone see what's going on.
