Zhao Yuande had been a Saint Alchemy Master in his previous life and had refined pills countless times. Naturally, he was very experienced in controlling the Earth Fire.
Although the cultivation level of this body was still low, he was in the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm was very rich in Spirit Qi and Immortal Qi. The consumption of Spirit Qi in controlling the fire was within a controllable range.
Looking at Zhao Yuande's skillful movements, the thin old man frowned slightly. How could a servant disciple have such skills in refining pills? Could he be a spy sent by another sect?
No! If he was a spy, he wouldn't have shown such amazing talent now! He would have waited until he became an outer or inner disciple. That way, he wouldn't be suspected.
Could it be … Forget it, I'll refine the pills first!
If I really succeed in refining the Black Yellow Scarlet Yang Pill and successfully become an Immortal Alchemy Master, my status in the sect will rise by another level. By then, even the elders will have to give me some face …
Zhao Yuande controlled the fire while the thin old man added the ingredients and controlled the various changes in the pill furnace …
Six hours later, when Zhao Yuande felt that his Spirit Qi was running out, the thin old man added the last ingredient.
"Seal the furnace! Control the fire well. Success or failure depends on a single thought! " The thin old man's expression was very serious. His soul controlled the ingredients in the pill furnace, melting, mixing, removing the dregs, forming the shape …
"Cease fire! Open … "
The thin old man was very excited. He shouted and stopped Zhao Yuande from releasing the Earth Fire. Then, he grabbed the air and opened the lid of the furnace!
Golden light shone from the pill furnace and Golden Pills the size of broad beans spun around in the furnace.
"Haha! It's done! " The skinny old man waved his hand in the air. Immediately, pills flew out of the cauldron and landed in his palm.
"Twelve pills, nine high-grade pills and three middle-grade pills! Haha! I've finally succeeded in refining the Black Yellow Scarlet Yang Pill! I've become an Immortal Alchemy Master! Haha … "The skinny old man looked at the twelve Golden Cores in his hand excitedly. He was laughing so hard that he rocked back and forth without any restraint.
Zhao Yuande only felt as if there was a drum in his head. His chest felt short of breath, and the corner of his mouth was shaken to the point where blood flowed out.
"Take it, this is a high-grade Black Yellow Scarlet Yang Pill for you!" The skinny old man was generous and directly threw a high-grade Black Yellow Scarlet Yang Pill to Zhao Yuande.
Zhao Yuande was overjoyed and hurriedly received the medicinal pill!
The value of this Black Yellow Crimson Yang Pill was something that he could not enjoy at his current cultivation level. No matter how heaven-defying he was, he would still explode from the terrifying medicinal strength within it!
Strictly speaking, only Godly Emperors were qualified to consume this kind of elixir!
He planned to sell the pills in the Mystic Pole Market and exchange them for a large amount of materials that he needed.
The skinny old man threw the rest of the elixirs into a white jade bottle. Then, he began to look at Zhao Yuande with interest.
"Kid, speak! Where on earth did you come from? It's definitely not normal for a handyman disciple like you to have such an understanding of alchemy! Tell me, are you a spy sent to our Ulti-mystery Sect by other sects? " The skinny old man's voice was gentle at first, but as he spoke, his voice became more and more severe, especially when he shouted at the end.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would have knelt down and begged for mercy. He would have confessed everything, including his ancestors.
However, Zhao Yuande was different. He had lived two lives and was calm and steady. This method basically had no effect on him.
"Deacon, I'm not a spy. My family encountered a great disaster. I escaped from the West Phoenix Continent and accidentally fell into the void vortex. Then, I drifted to the Baihe Continent. Senior, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to inquire about it in the West Phoenix Continent. My family is quite famous!" Zhao Yuande told the skinny old man the story that he had made up earlier.
The distance between the West Phoenix Continent and the Baihe Continent was trillions of kilometers. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to travel that distance even in ten lifetimes. Even Immortals would need to fly for eight to ten years.
However, if you had the money, you could go and construct a teleportation array. Supposedly, the cost of a teleportation array was comparable to the price of a second-grade immortal treasure!
"You actually came from the West Phoenix Continent?" The skinny old man was still doubtful. He once more gave Zhao Yuande a measuring look. "Given your current level of insight, how can you possibly withstand the terrifying ripping power of the void vortex? If you dare to lie to me, I'll kill you right here and now! "
"Actually, your disciple's main focus is the physical body. My current physical body should be comparable to a late-stage Domain expert. If I improve further, I'll be able to fight against a World-level expert. That's why I was able to …" Zhao Yuande naturally wouldn't believe such a loophole.
"Is that so?" The skinny old man pointed a finger at Zhao Yuande and swiped it through the air.
Slash!
Zhao Yuande's sleeves were instantly ripped apart by a terrifying surge of power. However, this surge of power didn't cut through his arm, only leaving behind a red scar.
"Oh! As expected, your physical body has reached this level! Not bad, not bad at all! You should be strong enough to become an outer disciple! " The skinny old man nodded, but a look of doubt remained on his face. "Since you came from the West Phoenix Continent, then tell me more about the various powers of the West Phoenix Continent and what sort of experts they have!"
"Alright! On the surface, the Immortal Emperor Palace is the strongest power in the West Phoenix Continent. It has three Immortal Emperors: Daoist Xuantian, Wan Huaqing, and Nangong Tianzheng! However, in truth, the Ji clan is the strongest power hidden within the West Phoenix Continent. Although I know of the Ji clan, I don't know what sort of experts they have. All I know is that the Ji clan has a peerless genius named Ji Mingzhen! Beneath the Immortal Emperor Palace are the Tai-shu clan, the Violetcloud Sect, Immortal Granularity City … "
Zhao Yuande had done his homework long ago, and so he began to recount all of the major powers as though he knew them from the bottom of his heart.
The skinny old man nodded repeatedly as he listened, quickly coming to believe Zhao Yuande's words.
Even if he wanted to know this information, it would be impossible. It was too difficult!
Although he hadn't heard of most of the experts mentioned by Fang Yuan, it didn't stop him from remembering them so that he could ask the experts of his sect in the future!
He felt that he should believe Zhao Yuande. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't possibly be a spy. He didn't have any similarities with a spy at all.
More importantly, the skinny old man didn't want him to be a spy at all.
Zhao Yuande's alchemy knowledge and alchemy skills were of great help to him. He was definitely able to become an Immortal Alchemist thanks to Zhao Yuande.
Although the skinny old man had a strange temper and was temperamental, he was still a member of the Immortal Sect and had his own perseverance.
Zhao Yuande had helped him, and he still felt a trace of gratitude towards him.
