"I can enter as well?" Sect Master Dong was taken aback.
Unless Huyan Cang and Zuoqiu Haoyu requested that Yi Yun refine pills in public for some special reason, many alchemists forbade others from watching them refine pills. Firstly, they did not wish to be disturbed. Secondly, they were worried that their hand seals and alchemy techniques would be seen through by others.
Now, Dong Shaoqing had not made any requests, but Yi Yun had taken the initiative to allow him to watch. It could not be any better.
"Young Master Yi, won't I disturb you if I watch?"
Yi Yun smiled and said, "If I'm afraid of being disturbed, wouldn't I definitely fail when I refine pills in public in five days?"
"Young Master Yi, you are right." Dong Shaoqing was delighted. Although he was unsure of Yi Yun's standard, he was already somewhat convinced by Yi Yun's confident tone.
If Yi Yun was truly half-baked, he would not allow others to watch him make a fool of himself.
Yi Yun led Dong Shaoqing into an alchemy room and closed the door. Ru'er was waiting by the side, looking like a medicine boy.
Typical alchemists took anywhere from four to five days to a few hours to refine pills that exceeded the level of an alchemist. They needed to set up a massive array and refine it for years or even centuries. However, only alchemist sages had the ability to set up such a massive array. Typical alchemists did not have the ability to do so.
For example, the Body Cleansing Pill only needed three to four days.
If this were any other time, three to four days would be nothing to Dong Shaoqing. All he needed was to meditate once. But now, with his daughter's fate on the line, he was in no mood to meditate. All he could do was stare intently at Yi Yun's pill refinement.
Yi Yun took out a tiny gray cauldron that floated in midair. It was the Divine Alchemy Cauldron with an array formation that was incomplete.
"Phew –"
Yi Yun tapped his finger, igniting the cauldron's flames. Yi Yun injected a sliver of the Heretical God Fire Seed.
The Heretical God Fire Seed blended into the flames in an inconspicuous manner. In a blink of an eye, it entered the Divine Alchemy Cauldron.
The Heretical God Fire Seed could burn through heaven and earth. Ordinary pill furnaces could not withstand it, but the Divine Alchemy Cauldron had accompanied the Heretical God Fire Seed for hundreds of millions of years. It had nearly fused with the Heretical God Fire Seed. When the Heretical God Fire Seed entered the Divine Alchemy Cauldron, it completely disappeared. The entire pill furnace still looked ancient and dull, as if it had never been lit.
Seeing this scene, Dong Shaoqing was a little stunned. He had seen alchemists concoct pills before, but the scene in front of him was very different.
Yi Yun glanced at the materials beside him and grabbed a piece of Yang Odd Flower before throwing it into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron.
The Yang Qi Flower was instantly engulfed in flames.
Now, with the strength of Yi Yun's soul, he could only control a tiny wisp of the Heretical God Fire Seed. That was already his limit.
If he were to release the Heretical God Fire Seed to wreak havoc, such as the burning of the Seven Star Dao Palace, Yi Yun could allow the Heretical God Fire Seed to create a sea of fire. However, alchemy was completely different. The requirements were extremely meticulous.
Yi Yun could control one wisp of the Heretical God Fire Seed with ease, but two wisps would be a little unstable.
The flames burned the Yang Qi Flower, allowing its medicinal essence to emanate. However, the actual extraction and gathering of the medicinal essence did not rely on Yi Yun's mental strength, but the Purple Crystal Origins.
The Purple Crystal Origins was Yi Yun's most precious divine item. It had helped Yi Yun survive the most difficult period of his martial path. Furthermore, in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven and the Azure Wood Great World, if not for the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun would not have been able to gain insights into the Destruction concept. He would also not have obtained the Azure Wood Divine Tree's recognition and condensed four nine-leaf Dao fruits.
The Purple Crystal's absolute control over energy allowed Yi Yun to effortlessly condense the Yang Qi Flower's medicinal essence in his hand.
This entire process only took ten breaths of time.
After the extraction of the Yang Qi Flower's medicinal essence, Yi Yun did not hesitate to throw the second herb — Glazed Grass — into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron.
Similarly, the medicinal essence of the Glazed Grass was extracted in a few seconds.
Following that, one herb after another was thrown into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron. Yi Yun maintained a constant speed. Dong Shaoqing, who was watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded.
Although Dong Shaoqing did not know alchemy, it did not mean that he was completely clueless about it.
The extraction of the herb's medicinal essence was the most critical step for a typical alchemist to refine pills. Any mistake would result in the herb being reduced to ash.
Most alchemists' failures stemmed from this. Instead, the process of forming the pill was simpler.
Therefore, alchemists were extremely careful in the first step of alchemy.
Dong Shaoqing had never heard of Yi Yun's speed and accuracy, much less seen it.
How was it so fast? In just a few seconds, a herb was thrown in. It was like a farmer washing vegetables.
Soon, all the medicinal essence of the ingredients had been extracted.
Following that, under Yi Yun's control, the medicinal essence began to fuse and form a pill.
During this process, Yi Yun needed to inject all sorts of Dao pattern seals.
Back in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, he had been practicing the Desolate Heaven technique for many years. With the Purple Crystal's absolute control over energy, it was not difficult for Yi Yun to form seals. Back at Empress Xuan's birthday, Yi Yun's seal formation was already perfect. He had suppressed Princess White Fox and shocked everyone.
One seal after another was produced by Yi Yun without any deviation. Time slowly passed as the Body Cleansing Pill rapidly took shape.
Upon seeing this scene, Dong Shaoqing drew a light gasp. Yi Yun's seal formation was not as freakish as the extraction of the medicinal essence, but it was still much faster than typical alchemists.
He estimated the time and estimated that he had only used about twelve hours. The refinement of the Body Cleansing Pill had reached the final step of forming the pill.
In fact, Dong Shaoqing did not know that this was because Yi Yun had slowed down to a certain extent and held back.
Fifteen minutes later, Yi Yun gently patted the Divine Alchemy Cauldron. The cauldron lid flew up and a green beam of light shot out into Yi Yun's hand.
Yi Yun opened his palm, and three crystalline emerald-green pills appeared in his palm.
Typical alchemists could produce many pills in one cauldron if they had sufficient materials. However, the materials provided by Dong Shaoqing were limited. Furthermore, the Body Cleansing Pills were rare to begin with. Yi Yun refining three was nearly his limit.
Upon seeing the three Body Cleansing Pills, Dong Shaoqing was overjoyed.
He had previously seen Body Cleansing Pills. The moment he saw the three pills, they had a rich luster and their surfaces shimmered with faint Dao patterns. He knew that they were definitely superior-grade Body Cleansing Pills.
He was already content with one. Two was a pleasant surprise, but three was something he never expected.
"Take them all."
Yi Yun took out a jade box and placed the three pills inside.
"Young Master Yi, Master Yi … I only need one. The other two were refined by Master Yi with his superb alchemical skills. They should rightfully belong to Master Yi."
Dong Shaoqing was so excited that he even changed the way he addressed Yi Yun.
Yi Yun shook his head. Although the Body Cleansing Pills were valuable to him, they were not that valuable. Besides, he had already received the Skydew Grass that could only be chanced upon. He felt that he had gained a great bargain, so Yi Yun naturally did not want the additional Body Cleansing Pills.
