"Hmph, playing to the gallery. I want to see how you refine medicine!"
Nangong Lingfeng stood at the side and watched coldly.
Under many fiery gazes, Yun Fan looked at the pill formula while putting the ingredients he just bought into the cauldron.
"First, put the Hundred Leaves Grass into the cauldron and melt it into a liquid to remove the impurities …"
Yun Fan summoned the Bone Spirit Ice Flame and calcined it in the lower part of the cauldron.
"Take out the Hundred Herbs Liquid and put in the Spirit Spring Jade Dew. After heating it to a boil, pour in the Hundred Herbs Liquid according to a certain ratio. When the two liquids combine into a paste, the Hundred Herbs Jade Dew Ointment is done!"
Yun Fan saw that the Spirit Spring Jade Dew in the cauldron was already boiling. He carefully added the Hundred Herbs Liquid into the cauldron. The two liquids slowly merged and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
This situation made many onlookers exclaim in surprise. They didn't expect Yun Fan to be able to refine medicine.
However, not long after, there was a violent tremor in the cauldron. Waves of black smoke constantly surged out and choked everyone to stay one zhang away.
The two liquids in the cauldron had already turned into a lump of black paste. A pungent smell assaulted their nostrils. It was a far cry from the medicinal fragrance of the medicine.
The pill formula looked simple, but after actually doing it, Yun Fan understood that refining medicine wasn't as simple as he thought.
Seeing this situation, the sneer on Nangong Lingfeng's face became thicker. He had an expression as if he already knew this would happen. The other alchemists also snorted. Looking at Yun Fan's refining technique, they already expected this kind of failure.
"Cough cough, I almost died from the smell. Does this guy know how to refine medicine?!"
"This isn't refining medicine. This is refining poison …"
"Disperse, disperse. I was really looking forward to it for nothing …"
At this moment, Nangong Lingfeng also took out a cauldron. A blue flame rose in his palm. He looked at Yun Fan with disdain. Then, his gaze locked onto the cauldron and he also started to refine medicine.
Nangong Lingfeng's actions attracted a large number of gazes. They saw him using one hand to ignite the flame under the cauldron while his other hand quickly and accurately placed the materials into the cauldron. His smooth movements caused many alchemists to submit to him.
Gradually, the medicinal fragrance within the cauldron became denser and denser. In the end, it felt as if the cauldron was about to be overturned. Nangong Lingfeng let out a soft cry. After the palm below withdrew the fire, he patted the bottom of the cauldron.
Bang!
A thumb-sized drop of sparkling liquid flew out of the cauldron in response. Immediately after, it obediently flew into a jade bottle on the table.
A bottle of Hundred Herbs Jade Dew Ointment was directly refined by Nangong Lingfeng!
"Good! As expected of Nangong Lingfeng. Now that I've seen him today, he truly lives up to his reputation! "
"To be able to refine the Hundred Herbs Jade Dew Ointment in front of everyone in one try is indeed extraordinary. This Bai admires you!"
"In the future, Nangong Lingfeng's alchemy skills might even surpass the Alchemy Hall Chief, Duan Wei."
"Amazing, amazing! With such exquisite alchemy skills, Nangong Lingfeng's ranking in this year's inner court competition will definitely not be too bad! "
Listening to the admiring words of the crowd, Nangong Lingfeng regained his confidence and pride as the top seeded contestant in the outer court.
Although there was an element of luck in refining the Hundred Herbs Jade Dew Ointment in one try, the effect of this kind of publicity was obviously better. Especially when Yun Fan's alchemy failed, it caused Nangong Lingfeng's popularity to soar once again.
A long-lost confidence appeared on Nangong Lingfeng's body once again. "Yun Fan, do you see this? I, Nangong Lingfeng, am the true peerless genius. Everything that you took from me, you must return it all to me!"
At this moment, Yun Fan ignored the noise of the crowd and Nangong Lingfeng's provocative gaze. He was immersed in his own thoughts, searching for the reason for his alchemy failure.
If it was a normal alchemy failure, it wouldn't be a big deal. At worst, he could just start over. No alchemist would dare to say that their alchemy success rate was 100%.
However, what puzzled Yun Fan was that he had clearly activated his secondary profession, Alchemist. The system clearly stated that he was a Common Grade Alchemist. However, his alchemy skills were still like an apprentice's. There was no trace of a qualified alchemist at all.
"Could it be because I have never truly refined spiritual medicine before?"
While thinking, Yun Fan subconsciously sat cross-legged on the ground. He took out the Battle Break The World book from the system and began to read it.
"Haha, this Yun Fan is planning to apply what he learned on the spot. He's already interested in the alchemy manual …"
"Not everyone is as all-rounded as Nangong Lingfeng. It's better to be down-to-earth as a person …"
"I'm quite interested in Yun Fan. Who knows, maybe he can really figure it out in the end."
"Heh, not everything can be done by accident …"
…
Yun Fan was so focused that he didn't hear the words of the people around him. Instead, he directly entered the state of reading.
The chapter he was reading was the part where Ye Yan and his master were refining the Blood Clotting Powder. Yun Fan had read these parts hundreds and thousands of times and had already memorized them by heart.
If it was refining the Blood Clotting Powder, Yun Fan was confident that he could successfully refine it. After all, he had witnessed the process countless times. Even if he were to copy a cat drawing a tiger, he would be able to imitate it.
"Why do I feel that I can refine the Blood Clotting Powder but can't refine the Hundred Herbs Dew Ointment …"
Yun Fan once again fell into deep thought …
"Wait!"
After a moment, Yun Fan seemed to have grasped a key point. He muttered in his heart, "Picture … process … picture … process …"
"Maybe it's because I've seen the refining process of the Blood Clotting Powder countless times, but I've never seen the refining process of the Hundred Herbs Dew Ointment even once!" Yun Fan suddenly realized.
Don't tell me I have to observe Nangong Lingfeng's refining process?
Yun Fan shook his head. He was resisting in his heart. Only by observing the techniques of a grandmaster alchemist could his refining skills reach the pinnacle of perfection.
Yun Fan sighed softly. "If only Ye Yan and his master could show me the refining process of the Hundred Herbs Dew Ointment …"
In the state of reading, Yun Fan could feel himself standing not far away from Ye Yan and observing him refining the elixir at close range. If the latter wasn't refining the Blood Clotting Powder but the Hundred Herbs Dew Ointment, then all the problems would be solved.
At this moment, a bold idea emerged in Yun Fan's mind. "I … Can I throw the elixir formula and raw materials over there to try …"
In the novel world in the state of reading, it was only a little illusory, but it was no different from the real world.
Yun Fan first took out the elixir formula of the Hundred Herbs Dew Ointment from his storage ring and rolled it into a ball of paper. Then, he threw it in the direction of Ye Yan and his master …
…
"Master, I don't know where this ball of paper came from …"
Ye Yan, who had just finished refining the elixir, looked at the yellow paper at his feet and hesitantly picked it up …
