With such a thought in mind, the Violet Golden Eagle could no longer hold itself back. Flapping its wings, it ordered, "Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
Dr. Chu Jiang nodded before leading the way.
Shen Fei's Pill Forging Hall and Salt Clinic stood side by side. Soon, the duo arrived at a massive beast shed in the middle. There were horses, Donkey, and a few aerial spirit beasts inside, but their cultivation wasn't too high.
Seeing how a Divinity realm expert like itself was brought here, the Violet Golden Eagle was displeased. At the same time, its disdain for its master's' tamed beast 'deepened.
How trashy must it be to park in a public beast shed? What a disgrace to its master!
After walking for a while, Dr. Chu Jiang pointed forward and said, "Grandteacher's mount is over there …"
The Violet Golden Eagle turned its gaze over and saw a pitch-black Donkey. Its size and build were average, and it didn't emanate the slightest bit of demonic aura. It looked no different from an ordinary animal. More importantly … it was flirting with a filly, sharing a blade of grass with it.
"That's it?"
The Violet Golden Eagle was speechless.
It thought that its master's tamed beast wouldn't be as simple as it seemed, but who would have thought that … it would be so lousy!
It had no cultivation, no strength, and it had such poor taste … What was so good about a filly? Wasn't a chicken delicious?
"Oh, right. Grandteacher said that his pet has a bad temper, so you should be careful around it!" Dr. Chu Jiang said as he escorted the Violet Golden Eagle to the beast shed.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure that its temper improves …" The Violet Golden Eagle chuckled as a glint flashed across its eyes.
Bad temper? My temper is even worse!
After saying everything that needed to be said, Dr. Chu Jiang turned around and left. After he left, the Violet Golden Eagle grinned and released its Divinity realm aura.
Boom!
A strong sense of oppression swept through the entire animal shed. In an instant, all the animals and demonic beasts inside showed fear in their eyes and fell down in unison.
Demonic beasts were very particular about their bloodline. Once they reached adulthood, they could reach the Divinity Realm. The bloodline of the Violet Golden Eagle was unquestionable.
"He didn't fall? It looks good … "
The Violet Golden Eagle was surprised to see that Donkey wasn't lying on the ground because of her oppression. Then, she walked over with a look of ridicule on her face.
"Son, son!"
Donkey, who was flirting with the little mare, saw his beloved mare and immediately lay down on the ground. He took two steps back, his big eyes full of vigilance.
Was it so difficult to be a quiet and beautiful donkey?
"Don't be nervous, I'm just teaching you some rules!"
Seeing how timid it was, the Violet Golden Eagle almost laughed out loud. Only the weak would be like this. A strong person like it would only be full of confidence and make others respect it! Just as Zhang Xuan was about to continue exerting his might to let the other party know who was the boss of his master's subordinates, he heard Donkey's anxious voice.
"Teach me the rules? You, you want to kill me? "
"Hmm???" The Violet Golden Eagle was stunned.
Demonic beasts could only speak when they reached the Divinity Realm. How could this ordinary-looking Donkey speak?
Just as Zhang Xuan was wondering, Donkey suddenly rushed over and said anxiously, "I don't want to be killed. I don't want to be caught in the fire. Since you want to kill me, I'll kill you first …"
Before it could finish speaking, the Violet Golden Eagle saw a donkey's hoof breaking through the air. It wasn't big at first, but for some reason, it looked as majestic as a mountain in its eyes.
In an instant, its aura was suppressed, and the demonic aura in its body couldn't be released at all. It was as if it had been completely sealed.
"I …" The Violet Golden Eagle was going crazy.
Wasn't this a f * cking normal animal? How could it speak and produce such an oppressive feeling?
Before it could finish thinking, its chest was hit by the other party's hoof. With a whistling sound, the eagle was sent flying and its back hit a pillar in the shed.
Poof!
Fresh blood spurted from its mouth, and the Violet Golden Eagle's vision darkened.
A Divinity realm 3-dan beast was actually defeated by a single hoof, unable to put up any resistance at all.
"I was too careless …" The Violet Golden Eagle muttered bitterly.
On its way here, it had guessed that its master's pet would be strong, but it didn't think that it would be so strong. Even after reaching the Divinity Realm, it couldn't even withstand a single blow from the other party …
Just as the Violet Golden Eagle was feeling frustrated, a gust of wind sounded once more. Donkey had appeared by its side, and its hoof came whistling down once more.
"It's a misunderstanding … I'm not trying to kill you!" The Violet Golden Eagle's hair stood on end as it panicked.
If it couldn't even withstand a single hoof, it would really die!
At the same time, a light flashed, and a barrier appeared around it.
This was a protective amulet that Sun Zhao had forged for it. Once activated, it could withstand a full-powered blow from a Zongshi realm expert. It was a life-saving measure that he had prepared for it.
It had initially intended to use it to deal with enemies that it couldn't deal with, but it couldn't care less now. Once the other party's hoof came down, it wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Kacha!
Donkey's hoof came down on the barrier, and a crisp sound echoed. It was something that even a Zongshi realm expert couldn't break, but before the other party, it was as laughable as a pancake.
Puhe!
The other party's hoof came down on its chest, breaking several of its ribs.
Donkey's anxious voice sounded in its ears, "Side Kick, Whirlwind Kick, Tornado Kick, Roaring Kick, Whirlwind Kick, Donkey Roll …"
"What the heck …"
The Violet Golden Eagle's vision darkened, and it fainted.
I just wanted to be the boss of a tamed beast … If only I knew that this donkey was so formidable, I wouldn't have acted so arrogantly …
"Hmm? This fellow has master's aura on it … "
Just as the donkey was about to kick the other party to death, it seemed to have sensed something, and it came to a halt.
This troublesome eagle actually carried his master's aura, and it felt as if it knew his master.
Forget it, let's not kill it yet. I'll wait for it to wake up first! At this rate, it shouldn't cause trouble for me anymore, right?
No, it's still twitching …
He turned around and looked at the mare lying on the ground. He grinned and comforted it, "Don't worry. I'll give it two more kicks …"
After that, he came up to it and kicked it again.
The Violet Golden Eagle, "…"
…
In the dan-making room, the dan -making process had already started.
Su Yin was standing in front of a chopping board, sorting out the precious materials that Mo Yuan had taken out.
As for the cauldron, he naturally used the Bright Moon Cauldron, which was of a higher level.
When it heard that he was about to make a supreme dan -making process, the spiritual energy in the cauldron was overjoyed. How could it possibly cause trouble?
"Junior Martial Uncle, there is only one set of these materials left. That means you only have one chance …" Seeing the young man tear the materials into pieces without even weighing them, Mo Yuan couldn't help but remind him.
Three Eye Toad, Seven Star Moonlight Grass, Nine Leaf Hemp Wood … These materials were collected by the Great Yan royalty at great cost. Last time, he had wasted one set, and now there was only one set left. If he failed, he didn't know how long it would take to make another set.
"Hmm!" Su Yin nodded. His hands moved quickly. Dozens of materials were quickly sorted out by him. After that, he turned around and said, "Light the fire and heat up the cauldron. After a while, I will tell you the order of these materials. You two follow it strictly. Don't make any mistakes!"
The two of them nodded at the same time.
Mo Yuan walked to the cauldron and turned his wrist. He took out some light green stones. Zhen Yuan was rolling inside his body, and a hot flame came out from the stones.
The temperature of the flame was extremely high. After a while, the stones were burned red.
Su Yin frowned.
He could tell that these stones were not charcoal, nor were they natural ores. They were like some kind of refined treasure.
"These are the True Fire Stones used by craftsmen above the sixth level!"
Seeing that he didn't know, Shen Fei was surprised. He explained, "Grandmaster, you should know that for many powerful materials and ores, the temperature of ordinary charcoal is not enough to melt them … You must have a treasure that can release a higher temperature. Thus, this item was created. "
Putting aside powerful ores, even powerful herbs were unable to be melted by ordinary flames. This was also the reason why Su Yin didn't proceed with the second and third steps. Instead, he passed it to the two of them.
"True Fire Stone has fire-gathering and burning formations carved on its surface. When it's not in use, as long as it's tempered in charcoal, it'll automatically absorb heat and store it. When it's in use, by activating the formations, it'll be able to transform the stored heat into an even hotter form and spurt it out …"
Su Yin came to a realization.
It was similar to the heat treasures in his previous life. Not only could it store heat, it could also release flames of a higher quality for smithing and pill forging.
After understanding what was going on, Su Yin decided not to dwell on the matter any longer. He took a look at the temperature of the cauldron, and when he felt that it was about right, he instructed, "Start adding in the Nine-leafed Grass Tree. Three breaths later, add in the Sevenstar Moonflower. Six breaths later, add in the Chen Mupi …"
Even though he had never seen the Three-Eyed Toad and the other medicinal herbs before, he had a deep understanding of medicinal properties. He could easily deduce how high the temperature of the medicinal herbs needed to be in order to be completely extracted.
Seeing that the other party was able to list out the time interval between placing the medicinal herbs into the cauldron in such detail, Mo Yuan and Shen Fei's expressions turned grim.
"The Nine Leaf Moonflower possesses a yin attribute, and it usually grows in the depths of the valleys in the northern part of the mountain. In order to extract its medicinal properties, the highest temperature is required to destroy the energy outside … It's the same for the Sevenstar Moonflower. It doesn't like sunlight, and it prefers to absorb the light of the stars at night. Thus, it has the insignia of the Seven Stars on its surface …"
"This isn't the order of the Heaven Mending Pill's formula, but Senior Uncle's order is clearly better. How long does it take to forge each medicinal herb? How many medicinal herbs should be fused together to maximize the medicinal properties … Just how deep does one's understanding of medicinal herbs have to be in order to achieve such a feat?"
Zhang Xuan exclaimed as he placed the medicinal herbs in.
Initially, Zhang Xuan was a little perplexed as to why the other party didn't follow the steps in the formula and placed more than a dozen medicinal herbs into the cauldron. However, after sensing the state of the medicinal properties in the cauldron, how could he not understand what was going on?
Under normal pill forging, whenever two medicinal herbs were fused together, there would be a short period of conflict or even an explosion. As such, suppressing the cauldron at any moment during pill forging was something that every apothecary had to learn.
But … according to the other party's steps, the cauldron was able to fuse the medicinal herbs without the slightest reaction. There was no need for him to exert any effort to suppress the medicinal herbs at all. Just from this in itself, it could be seen that the other party's grasp of medicinal properties had reached an astounding level!
"The reason why he's able to achieve such a feat is because he's able to accurately infuse the medicinal properties of each medicinal herb down to a hundredth or even less!"
Mo Yuan sent a telepathic message over. "That's the only way he can fuse the medicinal herbs together without any accidents …"
The reason why the cauldron would explode during pill forging was due to the chemical reaction that would occur when the medicinal herbs were fused together. If the medicinal herbs couldn't be neutralized, a one-sided situation would occur, resulting in a loss of control.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary apothecaries would be able to control the fusion of one or two medicinal herbs well. However, as the number of medicinal herbs increased, the chances of a deviation would increase.
For example, as long as a little more of the medicinal properties of the Nine-leafed Grass was added in, there would be some remaining after neutralizing the Seven-star Moonflower, resulting in another reaction between the Nine-leafed Grass and the Tangerine Wood, thus altering the medicinal properties …
As such, pill forging became more and more difficult as one progressed. Usually, one would have to pay a huge price in order to control the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs.
Under the other party's guidance, there were no conflicts at all. All they had to do was to add in the medicinal herbs at the designated time … It was so simple that it was hard to believe.
Soon, dozens of medicinal herbs were placed into the cauldron, and under the blazing flames, their medicinal properties began to fuse together.
"I wonder how the pill is going to be formed …"
The two of them were already done with the steps, so they wanted to see what their Senior Uncle would do at the final step, which was also the most crucial step. They wanted to make use of this opportunity to learn from him.
They turned to look at the young man excitedly, but with just a glance, they were stunned.
At this moment, the young man didn't pay any attention to the cauldron. Instead, he took out a basin, flour, and water and began kneading the dough.
"…" The two of them were stunned.
There were four steps in pill forging: mixing the herbs, lighting the fire, tempering, and forming the pill. The final step was also the most important. Just like tempering a weapon, the grade of the pill depended on one's grasp of the timing of the fusion process.
Logically speaking, when the two of them were done, the young man should have rushed over to control the cauldron and the flames … Kneading the dough? What the heck?
Under their shocked gazes, the young man kneaded the dough until it was a ball the size of a glutinous rice ball. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and casually tossed it into the cauldron.
"Alright, let's continue controlling the flames!"
Ignoring their shock, Su Yin continued.
"Yes …"
Exchanging glances, Mo Yuan and Shen Fei could only nod their heads and continue controlling the flames.
Gugugugu!
As the glutinous rice ball entered the cauldron, the cauldron began to boil. Spiritual energy slowly gathered from all directions, and a moment later, it formed a ring-shaped cloud that shrouded the area.
The two of them were shocked.
Clouds had already gathered before the pill was even out of the cauldron. Was this the power of a supreme dan? That was terrifying!
"These clouds contain the true intent of Saint Origin …"
Taking a deep breath, the two of them shook once again.
The clouds formed by the spiritual energy were not only dense, but also gave people a refreshing feeling. They actually contained the true intent of Saint Origin. Streams of the spiritual energy, with indescribable mysteries, flowed into the cauldron and nourished the dan.
"Open the cauldron!"
A shout sounded in their ears.
Concentrating, Mo Yuan didn't dare to let his mind wander. Instead, he made a grabbing motion in the air.
Creak!
The lid of the cauldron immediately melted.
Sou sou sou sou!
In an instant, ten round dan beads flew out of the cauldron. Each of them formed a ring-shaped cloud, and the spiritual energy and light in the room simultaneously shone brightly.
"They are indeed supreme dan beads …" Narrowing their eyes, Mo Yuan and Shen Fei clenched their fists tightly.
This level of dan beads only existed in legends. If it was in the past, they wouldn't even dare to think about it. Today, not only did they see it with their own eyes, they even experienced the refinement of it … It was understandable how excited they were!
However … why did it feel like they hadn't done anything at all?
Boom!
At this moment, the sound of thunder resounded in the sky. Everyone raised their heads and saw dark clouds gathering outside the window. A powerful force was gathering.
"Oh no …"
Mo Yuan's face turned pale and he started to tremble, "For low-level dan beads, it doesn't matter if they reach the supreme level. There won't be any abnormalities. However, the Heaven Mending Dan is too heaven-defying. A supreme level dan is even more powerful than a normal level nine dan. The heavens and earth will be jealous of it and punish it …"
This kind of dan bead had never appeared before, so he didn't think of it in advance.
"Heavenly Tribulation?" Su Yin was stunned.
"Yes …"
With a bitter face, Mo Yuan said, "Of course, it is also a kind of opportunity. If these dan beads can withstand it, it is very likely that they will become sentient and even transform into a human being. If they can't withstand it, not only will they be turned into ashes, even the refiner will be punished! "
"This …" Su Yin was stunned. He was the refiner, so it was possible that he would be struck by the lightning as well?
Outside the window, the lightning had already begun to gather. It was incomparably thick, as if it could tear the space apart.
He was only at the ninth level of Origin Casting Stage. This kind of lightning … if he didn't use the special spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to withstand it!
"This lightning is too powerful, how is it possible to withstand it …"
Shen Fei's face was also pale. Just as he didn't know what to do, the dark clouds in the sky had already finished gathering. A thick lightning bolt fell from the sky.
Kacha!
The roof of the alchemy room was instantly split open. The lightning bolt fell on the ten floating dan beads. The powerful arc of lightning lit up the room, as if doomsday had arrived.
Weng!
There was no resistance, no escape. Not only did the dan beads not explode, they even seemed to be encouraged by the lightning. Under the burning of the lightning, they emitted a faint glow. On the surface of the dan beads, there were purple lines that fused the medicinal properties better, increasing their power by a level! The surrounding clouds became denser and denser, making one feel as if they had entered a paradise.
"This …"
Completely stunned, Mo Yuan felt as if his head was about to explode, "This, how is this possible! Not only did the dan beads block the lightning, they even absorbed the energy within it … "
Even he wouldn't be able to withstand the might of the lightning. Yet, not only did the dan beads in the air block it, they even absorbed it. How did he do it?
"It's … it's those glutinous rice balls! They also contain the true intent of Saint Yuan … "
Mo Yuan's eyes narrowed as he came to a realization.
In the end, it wasn't that the dan beads were strong, nor was it that the lightning was weak. Rather, it was that the 'glutinous rice balls' that Junior Martial Uncle kneaded contained the true intent of Saint Yuan.
This kind of energy was unique to Sages. Even lightning was helpless against it!
Previously, he felt that something was amiss. How could there be a 'kneading' step in pill refinement? In the end, Junior Martial Uncle had even calculated this in advance … This was too frightening!
In an instant, cold sweat trickled down Mo Yuan's back. Looking at the young man not too far away, his eyes were filled with respect.
Shen Fei also understood the 'crux', and he couldn't help but admire the other party.
Without making much of a move, the other party was able to solve all the problems by grasping the key points. What did it mean by strategizing, deciding victory from a thousand miles away?
This was it!
This was true pill refinement, and no one could rival him!
