Guiyuan Zhen's question immediately attracted the attention of many.
Many of the alchemists present knew of Guiyuan Zhen. He was rather famous in the Myriad Divine Territory. Thanks to his unique skill of infusing the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid into pills, Guiyuan Zhen had gained quite a bit of wealth.
He had used the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid to refine three types of pills. Two of them were original pill formulas. One of the herbs had been replaced with the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid, doubling its effects. The third pill was created by Guiyuan Zhen himself. Guiyuan Zhen had named the third pill the Blazing Orchid Spirit Suppressing Pill. It was Guiyuan Zhen's signature skill, and also a secret.
"I thought this Guiyuan Zhen was really asking for advice. So he's just trying to smack the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect in the face."
An alchemist familiar with Guiyuan Zhen said with a smile. They all knew Guiyuan Zhen's background.
"Haha! Brother Guiyuan's actions are to my liking. These Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect disciples are being too ostentatious, especially those juniors. Their eyes seem to be growing on top of their heads. They did not even try to hide their discussions from us, treating us as country bumpkins. "
"That's right. Our Myriad Divine Territory's alchemical and Desolate Heaven techniques have been developed for so many years. It has formed its own system and might not be inferior to the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect's."
As people spoke, they looked at Skyfire Sacred Hands, waiting to see how he would deal with the situation.
Skyfire Sacred Hands drank a cup of spirit tea while holding a covered bowl in his hand. The moment the question was raised, he could guess a thing or two from the reactions of the other alchemists. Guiyuan Zhen clearly knew the answer and was trying to make things difficult for him, making it difficult for him to back down.
Although Skyfire Sacred Hands objected to disciples being too arrogant, it was only to the extent of not being too rude with their words. In terms of arrogance, as a disciple of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect, how could Skyfire Sacred Hands not be arrogant?
In the history of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect, there had been two alchemist sages. Back then, the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect had been in the limelight throughout the entire Yang God Empyrean Heaven. And the heritage of the two alchemist sages had been left intact in the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect! He, Skyfire Sacred Hands, had inherited the first — Thousand Hand Alchemist Sage.
Skyfire Sacred Hands smiled faintly when he saw an alchemist from the Myriad Empyrean Heaven attempting to test him. He had no intention of answering him. How could the Thousand Hand Alchemist Sage's heritage be understood by ordinary alchemists? He wasn't here to compete with these people. That would only bring shame to the Thousand Hands Alchemy Saint.
Therefore, Skyfire Sacred Hands was displeased that Guiyuan Zhen had suddenly raised such a question.
Skyfire Sacred Hands gently placed the covered bowl down and turned to look at the six-fingered youth beside him. He said, "Hao'er, answer it."
When he said that, it made all the alchemists in the Myriad Empyrean Heaven frown.
Guiyuan Zhen was asking Skyfire Sacred Hands, but Skyfire Sacred Hands did not answer Guiyuan Zhen at all. Instead, he got his disciple to answer?
Skyfire Sacred Hands had cultivated for three thousand years, while Guiyuan Zhen had cultivated for more than a hundred thousand years. However, in the world of alchemy, the skilled were the masters. Guiyuan Zhen did not dare to consider himself a senior in front of Skyfire Sacred Hands. He politely asked him questions, and he did so with proper etiquette.
It was nothing much, but for Skyfire Sacred Hands to let a junior answer the question, it was too belittling.
"Yes, Martial Uncle." The six-fingered youth stood up and cupped his fists. "Senior, I wonder if Senior's master has ever told you that to ask a question, you have to first ask if it's true before asking why?"
"Oh!?" Guiyuan Zhen's expression sank. "What do you mean by that?"
"Senior, you said that the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid cannot be infused into pills. In fact, from my point of view, this question is not valid. The medicinal properties of the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid are indeed quite intense. It can easily be refined to ashes in a cauldron, but as long as this problem is resolved, the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid can be infused into pills at will. I wonder why Senior says that the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid cannot be infused into pills?"
The six-fingered youth spoke with confidence and composure. Although his voice was respectful, his words were overbearing. Guiyuan Zhen was infuriated. He had been studying the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid for a hundred years, but he had been refuted by the arrogant words of a junior. Was everything he had done for the past hundred years a joke?
"It's true that heroes come from the young since ancient times. I have finally seen it today! Very well. You said that the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid can be infused into pills at will. Then, I want to broaden my horizons. I want to see how you will infuse the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid into pills! "
Guiyuan Zhen's voice was somewhat agitated. This involved his specialty, which was also what he was best at. How could he not be infuriated by being belittled by a junior?
All the alchemists present nodded their heads. The six-fingered youth's words were indeed a little arrogant. They had personally verified that the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid could not be infused into pills. Even in large sects, there were methods to infuse the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid into pills, but it was definitely not as easy as the six-fingered youth said.
"Junior Sister, they want to see the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid infuse into pills. Why don't you do it?"
Just as everyone was waiting for the six-fingered youth to show off his skills, he actually sat down and handed the task to the red-dressed girl beside him.
Upon seeing this scene, the alchemists present were infuriated. The red-dressed girl did not seem to have cultivated for more than a hundred years. Yet, she knew how to infuse the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid into pills?
The old pushed it to the old, while the old pushed it to the young. They really thought nothing of him.
"Fine, I'll do it. Tch, isn't it just a Jadeflame Immortal Orchid!?"
The red-dressed girl said disdainfully. With a tap of her foot, her slim figure landed in the middle of the square like a nimble red sparrow. She did not stir a speck of dust.
"Who has a Jadeflame Immortal Orchid? Give me one. I can't be bothered to carry such an herb around with me."
"Good! Very good! " Upon hearing the disdain in the red-dressed girl's tone, Guiyuan Zhen was infuriated. He had gone to great lengths to study the herb, but it was being belittled.
"I have one here!"
Guiyuan Zhen flicked his hand as a red herb flew towards the red-dressed girl.
The red-dressed girl casually caught it and took out a cauldron.
"Yue'er, be steady with your technique. Just infuse it into the pill. Don't be too flashy." At that moment, Skyfire Sacred Hands's Yuan Qi voice transmission sounded in the red-dressed girl's ears.
"Got it, Martial Uncle." The corners of the red-dressed girl's mouth curled up. However, the moment she began, Skyfire Sacred Hands knew that she had not heard his words at all.
This was because the red-dressed girl had deliberately opened the cauldron's ventilation door, allowing people to see the refinement process of the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid. Typical alchemists would not do such a thing when refining pills.
Skyfire Sacred Hands shook his head but did not say a word. Since these people wanted to question the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect's heritage, it was good to let them witness it. It would prevent them from viewing the world from the bottom of a well, thinking that their alchemical skills were peerless.
"She actually opened the ventilation door!"
"This will create a gap in the cauldron's array formation. It will make the refinement of the medicinal essence even more difficult. She's too arrogant."
The red-dressed girl turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the alchemists present. She said, "Since it's a Jadeflame Immortal Orchid, I'll refine a Green Spirit Pill!"
As the red-dressed girl spoke, an icy-blue flame appeared in her palm. As the flame burned, it did not have any heat. Instead, it emitted a chill.
The red-dressed girl casually pointed, sending the flame into the cauldron. Following that, she threw the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid inside.
Her ten fingers moved in quick succession, forming seals one after another. These seals wrapped around the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid and deeply imprinted themselves on it.
The Jadeflame Immortal Orchid was slowly enveloped by the icy-blue flame.
Through the cauldron's ventilation door, people could clearly see the refinement process of the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid. Strangely, the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid did not show any signs of heat after being enveloped by the flame. Instead, a thin layer of frost had formed on its surface.
The frost grew thicker and thicker, covering the entire Jadeflame Immortal Orchid. From the crowd's point of view, it looked like a blob of ice that was being burned in the cauldron.
After about a quarter of an hour, an even more amazing scene occurred. The Jadeflame Immortal Orchid that was frozen in the ice actually began to melt slowly.
After another five minutes, the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid melted into a pale red medicinal liquid. It was crystalline and shimmered with a luster. Furthermore, it looked extremely beautiful being sealed in ice.
From the looks of it, the red-dressed girl's extraction process was extremely successful. It was even more complete than Guiyuan Zhen's own method of extraction!
"How … How is this possible? It's that simple? She directly placed it in the fire? Why is the fire so cold …? "
Guiyuan Zhen muttered to himself. The Jadeflame Immortal Orchid had a violent fire-elemental attribute. It would explode upon contact with fire. However, the red-dressed girl had used a flame that emitted an icy aura to seal the violent medicinal properties in ice. She actually had such a flame?
"I know, I know. This is the Extreme Frost-ice Flame. According to the books, it is a spirit flame that is born in the core of an iceberg for hundreds of millions of years. It is traceless and formless, making it almost impossible to find. You actually have such a flame!?"
Guiyuan Zhen suddenly said as though he had lost his soul. Extreme Frost-ice Flame. The red-dressed girl had actually taken out the Extreme Frost-ice Flame the moment she took action? He had only read about such a flame in the books, but this was the first time he was seeing it!
"At least you have some knowledge. That's right, it's the Extreme Frost-ice Flame! This Extreme Frost-ice Flame is indeed rare. Even my Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect would find it difficult to obtain it. However, my Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect had an alchemist sage ancestor. In an extremely cold land that had been sealed in ice for a billion years, he found an iceberg that was as large as a planet. He entered the iceberg's core and spent decades searching for this Extreme Frost-ice Flame! "
"The Extreme Frost-ice Flame is not a lone flame. Although it is extremely rare, it has a very good characteristic. It can be nurtured. As long as there is a mother flame, a child flame can be nurtured. The Extreme Frost-ice Flame's mother flame has been nurtured by my Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect for tens of millions of years. It has been controlled by generations of Grand Elders. Although what I have is a child flame nurtured by the mother flame, refining a Jadeflame Immortal Orchid is a piece of cake. Therefore, I don't understand why the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid cannot be used as a pill. Isn't it very simple? "
The red-dressed girl returned with a question with a smile. Guiyuan Zhen's face flushed red.
He pointed at the red-dressed girl, unable to say a word. What else could he say?
He had chanced upon the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid as a pill after countless experiments. But in the eyes of others, it had become a joke.
This was the heritage of a super alchemy sect. To them, there was no need for them to research such matters. They could easily resolve it with their heritage.
