This was the flour that he had ground from the wheat that he had planted himself. There was quite a bit of it in his storage ring. Taking out some, he mixed it with water and very quickly, it became a dough.
“？？？”
Chen Xiao Yue and Apothecary Mingyu were stunned once more.
Chopping firewood, kneading dough … Are you sure this is alchemy? Why did it feel like the scene was getting more and more crooked?
"I have never learned pill formation before, so I don't know how to control pill qi. I can only create the 'pill' in advance and see if it works or not …" Seeing their expressions, Su Yin felt a little embarrassed.
He really didn't know how to form a pill, but if he kneaded the white flour into a pill shape and used it to contain the pill's essence, he might be able to succeed.
Soon, he kneaded ten balls of dough the size of glutinous rice balls.
"Let's start!" At this time, the temperature of the furnace has dropped. Su Yin picked up the firewood and ignited the flame.
Whoosh!
The flame immediately enveloped the furnace. Although it wasn't as hot as charcoal, the size of the flame was uniform and the temperature was just right.
"This …"
Seeing that the other party was really using firewood to forge a pill, Apothecary Mingyu frowned. However, upon seeing the flame ignite, his face warped and he clenched his fists tightly.
As an apothecary, he was extremely sensitive to flames. He could clearly sense that the temperature of the flames burning around the cauldron was exactly the same!
The flame was divided into three parts: the outer flame, the inner flame, and the core of the flame. Among them, the outer flame had the highest temperature, and the inner flame had the lowest temperature. In theory, as long as one could control it well, it was possible to make all the surfaces of the furnace and the flame have the same temperature.
However, a theory was a theory. The furnace was so large that even a slight breeze could affect the temperature of the flames. This was something that was impossible to achieve.
It was precisely because of this that when an ordinary alchemist was refining pills, the difference in temperature between the furnace and the flame would not exceed two hundred degrees. Even if he passed, it was the same for him.
But the other party … had used firewood that was even harder to control, and had actually managed to control the temperature to be exactly the same … How in the world did he do it?
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it!
Putting everything else aside, just the ability to ignite a flame... had already reached the level of a Zongshi master. Even his teacher was no match for him!
Previously, he had thought that the other party was insulting him by saying that he was terrible at lighting a fire, but at this moment, he realized that … not only was the other party right, the other party was even praising him highly!
He continued reading.
After the flame burned for a while, the temperature of the furnace rose again. The young man picked up the medicinal herbs that had been prepared not far away and put them in one by one.
These herbs had all been specially processed to make it easier to melt and refine. Furthermore, the order and interval of the herbs added made it easier to quench and fuse them.
As more and more medicinal herbs were added, the medicinal fragrance became more and more intense. Three minutes later, all twenty medicinal herbs were added into the cauldron.
Weng!
There was a soft hum, and a circle of medicinal fragrance appeared above the cauldron. It looked like a pure-white cloud floating quietly.
"This is … Pill Fragrance Cloud Qi! How, how is this possible … "
Apothecary Ming Yu's body trembled. Due to his astonishment, he was unable to control the energy in his body.
"Pill Fragrance Clouds?" Chen Xiao Yue asked in bewilderment.
With trembling lips, Apothecary Mingyu explained, "Actually, pills aren't just divided into Normal, Pure, and Grandmaster. Beyond that, there's also the so-called Perfect! However, a medicine of this level is hard to come by in a hundred years. Not to mention Great Salt City, even the top alchemists in Da Qian City and Da Origin City are unable to refine it! "
"Could it be that … the pills that he forged have reached that level?" Chen Xiao Yue shuddered in astonishment.
"This is just my conjecture. According to the records in the books, before a Perfect tier pill is born, a pill fragrance will be produced, forming a circle that lingers for a long time! Perhaps … this is it? "
Apothecary Mingyu said.
He had only read about it in the books and had never seen it with his own eyes. The cloud before him bore some resemblance to it, so he couldn't help but exclaim out loud.
"This …" Chen Xiao Yue was at a loss for words.
She thought that the other party was a Bronze-tier, but to think that he was a king among kings!
Boom!
As all of the medicinal herbs were placed into the cauldron, the pill fragrance grew more and more intense. The young man flicked his wrist and threw the dough that he had kneaded previously into the cauldron.
The cloud suddenly shrunk, and the cauldron shook for a moment. Peng! The cauldron opened.
Sou!
Ten pills flew out and floated quietly in the air.
Every single one of them was golden in color, and the cloud above them seemed to have grown wings.
"Perfect tier …" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Apothecary Mingyu's teeth chattered.
If he wasn't sure a moment ago, he was certain of it now.
He was capable of forging a grandmaster pill himself, and he had practiced it many times. It was impossible for it to look like this!
Using a fifth of the medicinal herbs, firewood, and flour … to forge a perfect tier pill. This … What was going on?
"His claim that he doesn't know how to forge a pill and that he has no cultivation must be an act …"
A thought popped up in his mind.
How could a person who had no cultivation and had never forged a pill before be able to find so many mistakes in his pill forging?
How could he forge a perfect tier pill?
You must be joking!
Needless to say, this low-profile young man must be pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
There were many big shots who liked to do such a thing. Take his teacher for example. Despite being a grade-5 apothecary, he insisted on picking medicinal herbs personally, saying that the medicinal properties of the herbs picked by others weren't preserved well enough …
Perhaps, this young man was the same as well!
He was clearly powerful, but he pretended to have no cultivation at all …
Otherwise, if he wasn't incredible, how could such a serious person like his teacher give away his jade token so easily?
It was laughable that he actually took the other party's words seriously … and even mocked him!
How embarrassing!
Just as he was about to dig a hole to bury himself in, the young man's voice sounded.
"I … Is this considered a success?"
"…"
Apothecary Mingyu felt like crying.
Are you mocking me on purpose? I was wrong, alright!
"Success, success!" He hurriedly nodded his head.
If this isn't considered a success, what is? The trash that he forged?
Can you stop embarrassing yourself …
"That's good …"
Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
Infusing the pill essence in the cauldron into the dough was just an idea that popped up in his head. He didn't expect it to succeed.
Didn't this mean that he had already learned how to refine pills?
Didn't they say that it was difficult to learn?
Just as he was perplexed, he suddenly froze. Hurriedly lifting his head, he saw a surge of spiritual energy gushing into his body from an unknown location.
His tightly shut pores opened up swiftly, as though welcoming the spiritual energy. The rejection and disgust from before were gone.
"This …" Su Yin's body jolted.
His pores opened up, no longer rejecting the spiritual energy … Does this mean that he can cultivate?
He had used all of his means and browsed through so many cultivation technique manuals, but to no avail. Yet, he succeeded just by forging a pill … What was going on?
Turning around to look at Apothecary Mingyu and Chen Xiao Yue, he saw that they were completely oblivious to the spiritual energy surging into their bodies.
Could it be that … he was the only one who could 'see' this spiritual energy?
If that was the case, what in the world was it? Where did it come from?
In an instant, Su Yin was perplexed.
…
Forbidden grounds.
In the instant that Su Yin finished forging the pill, a lingering will suddenly appeared.
Apothecary Saint, Li Shiyue.
At this moment, he was astonished. Looking down the mountain, he muttered, "To think that the first thing to comprehend would be pill forging. As expected of a Xiantian Body, to be able to find his path so quickly …"
Hu!
Muttering under his breath, the lingering will disappeared, as though it had never appeared before.
(Five hundred more. Reverence to Old Ya!)
