In the most luxurious tent of the Death Legion, Yang Wu was learning alchemy day and night. He had no idea what was going on in the outside world.
Ever since he cultivated the heart fire, his strength had suddenly increased greatly. He could slow down his cultivation and learn alchemy first.
Before learning alchemy, he had to learn how to control the heart fire, the Blue Demoness.
According to the basics of alchemy, controlling fire was a very difficult thing to do. However, it was not that difficult for Yang Wu. He felt that the summoned Blue Demoness was like a part of his body. Just like the Hidden Blade Wings, he could make it big or small with a thought. It was completely within his control.
Because of this, he could quickly skip the cultivation process of controlling fire and try to refine herbs.
This step was more difficult to learn. Even if Yang Wu could control the heart fire as he wished, the herbs would shrink when they were hot. If there was anything wrong, they might all be burned.
Little Hei did not guide Yang Wu. It had already passed on some of the basics to him. Everything depended on him to figure it out himself. Only then could he slowly master it.
Little Hei took out another ancient cauldron for Yang Wu to practice. This ancient cauldron was also extraordinary. It was a bronze cauldron with three legs and four handles. There were many mysterious patterns on it. Every time the flames burned, these patterns would emit an inexplicable halo.
Although it was not as high-grade as the Shennong Immortal Cauldron, it was a rare immortal cauldron to the outside world. Even a saint alchemist would want to snatch it.
Yang Wu did not care about the value of the bronze cauldron. He was meticulously refining the essence of the herbs. He used the mental power of the Divine Court to control the herbs to fly into the bronze cauldron. The heart fire burned outside the cauldron, roasting the essence of the herbs.
One herb after another was directly burned and destroyed by him. Balls of waste fell into the cauldron, which made his heart ache.
Even if these were just the most ordinary herbs, it would take time to collect them.
"I can even forcefully awaken the heart fire. I don't believe that I can't refine these small herbs." Yang Wu had never been a person who gave up easily. He meditated on the basics of alchemy in the Divine Court and Little Hei's usual appearance. He began to refine pills again.
The 101st failure!
The 102nd failure!
The 103rd failure!
…
After two hundred failures, he finally succeeded in extracting the essence of the herb.
After the first successful experience, the second time was much easier.
After that, he basically succeeded in refining one out of every three herbs. Not long after, he could successfully refine one out of every two herbs. After two days, he finally reached a success rate of seventy to eighty percent.
This kind of herb extraction efficiency was already considered to be extremely shocking.
The average Alchemy Grandmaster was only at this level.
All of this was attributed to the miraculous nature of the Flame of Heart. It could move according to his thoughts, and the degree of control of the flame was extremely exquisite.
After completing the step of refining the essence of the medicine, the next step was to gather the various essences into a ball. Finally, it was to cool down and solidify into a pill.
These two steps were also very crucial. If he made even the slightest mistake, he would not be able to refine a real pill.
Over the next two days, Yang Wu wasted a large amount of medicinal herb essences and failed more than ten times in a row. It was so torturous that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Kid, stop if you can't do it. Don't waste the herbs," Little Hei advised.
It would have been better if it had not advised him. The more it advised, the more unconvinced Yang Wu was. He gritted his teeth and continued to refine pills.
Finally, after thirty-five failures, he succeeded in condensing a furnace of pills.
At this time, the flame was burning the furnace, and the firepower had reached its peak. Yang Wu scolded softly, "Withdraw the fire!"
The Flame of Heart shrank back into his heart in an instant. He made a series of hand seals, and a stream of water Xuan Qi rolled over and enveloped the furnace, completely cooling it down.
Sizzle!
A burst of white smoke rose from the bronze furnace. The walls of the furnace quickly cooled down, and the heat in the furnace naturally shrank. The pills were also affected by the change in temperature and became more and more solid. In the end, whether the pills were formed or not would be known after the lid was lifted.
After doing all this, Yang Wu directly fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Obviously, he was too weak and looked exhausted.
If he had not reached the Advanced General Realm and had not been supported by a huge amount of power, he would have been exhausted.
Refining pills was not only a kind of technical work, but also a kind of physical work!
Yang Wu stuffed a Qi-boosting Pill into his mouth and quickly recovered his strength. He needed to stand up and see if his pills were formed or not.
Little Hei had said that taking pills was not good for a solid foundation, but the Qi-boosting Pill had no effect on Yang Wu's realm. At most, it could only restore his strength. Moreover, the Peach Core Dantian could also purify his strength. As long as he did not eat them as food, they would not have much effect.
After Yang Wu recovered some strength, he stood up and nervously opened the lid of the furnace.
At this time, Little Hei also climbed onto Yang Wu's shoulder to see if the pills were really condensed.
When the furnace was opened, he found that there were indeed two solidified pills in the furnace. However, they were not as round and shiny as the pills refined by Little Hei. They were similar to the pills sold outside.
"Haha, I did it, I did it!" Yang Wu laughed with great joy.
From the beginning of controlling the fire, refining the pills, to now forming the pills, it took him five days and five nights to successfully refine two pills. This kind of joy was not something that ordinary people could understand.
Yang Wu had never thought that he would become an alchemist one day. He really felt like he was in a dream.
"How can such low-quality pills be called pills? You have to refine them properly." Little Hei poured cold water on Yang Wu.
Yang Wu did not care at all. He was already used to Little Hei's teasing. He replied, "Just wait and see. It won't be long before I can refine pills like the ones you refined."
"I hope that day comes," Little Hei replied.
Yang Wu put away the two pills. He planned to keep them for himself as a memento. Then, he continued to refine pills. He had to master the feeling of forming pills as soon as possible to increase his success rate.
…
Yang Wu did not know what was going on outside, nor did he know that Lu Zhi had become a popular figure.
Young Marshal, the Major General Challenge Competition was already more than halfway through. More than half of the people had been eliminated, and even a few would-be Major Generals had been eliminated. This showed how fierce the battles on the challenge platform were.
The woman Yang Wu knew, Nan Runan, was also a would-be Major General. She had crushed all her opponents with her strong strength and had not been defeated so far.
In addition, Wan Lanxin's performance was also outstanding. She had eliminated all her opponents.
It was worth mentioning that Wan Lanxin had received the Acupoint Breaking Pill from Li Dazui, which allowed her to directly advance to the top level of the Human General Realm and qualify her to compete for the position of a Major General.
At first, Wan Lanxin did not dare to accept the pills from Li Dazui. However, when she saw the note from Li Dazui, she accepted them with peace of mind. This was a gift from Yang Wu. There were a total of ten pills. There were six healing pills, two Qi-boosting pills, and two Acupoint Breaking Pills.
These pills were not just for her. She still had to give one pill each to Little Man.
Wan Lanxin knew the value of these pills very well. She could not understand where Yang Wu had gotten the energy to get so many pills at once.
She also found that she had not seen Yang Wu for so many days. Many times when she wanted to find Yang Wu after a challenge, she was mercilessly asked to go back by Zhou Yong, who was guarding outside Yang Wu's door.
Zhou Yong had become Yang Wu's personal bodyguard. He had also received the Acupoint Breaking Pill from Yang Wu and squeezed into the top level of the General Realm. He was already unswervingly loyal to Yang Wu.
The reason why Yang Wu chose Zhou Yong as his personal bodyguard and not the other commanders was naturally because of the relationship between Zhou Yong and Lu Zhi. Without Zhou Yong, he would not have discovered Lu Zhi. This was karma.
Now, after Lu Zhi went to sell the pills in person three days ago, he did not dare to go by himself for the next few days.
As soon as he appeared, he would immediately be surrounded by crazy people. Not only did everyone want to trade the pills in his hands, but they also kept taking advantage of him. He really could not stand it anymore.
He had no choice but to arrange for others to go and sell the pills. In any case, the effects of the pills had already been aroused. He was not afraid that no one would buy them.
The popularity of the pills would naturally arouse the greed of some people. However, the Rose of Death and the Cold Faced Adjutant personally came out and declared that they would fight to the death if anyone dared to snatch the pills from the Death Legion. This deterred some people who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
These were two great kings. If they went all out, the entire legion would be shaken.
Because of this matter, the higher-ups were deeply hurt.
They were certain that the Rose of Death had befriended an alchemist. Otherwise, how could they provide so many pills? If it were them, they would not have such ability.
Because of this, they met many times to discuss. In the end, they still decided to invite the Rose of Death for a discussion.
At first, the Rose of Death did not pay any attention. It was only when Sima Natu personally came to invite her that she once again descended into the marshal's tent.
Fen Tianxiong went straight to the point. "Rose, you must have a motive for creating such a situation. State your conditions."
This time, other than Fen Tianxiong, there were only eight lieutenant generals. The other deputy generals were not included.
The Rose of Death had waited for so long. Naturally, it was for this day. She immediately stated her conditions. "I don't want the Great General to treat everyone in the Death Legion equally. However, you must give them some military supplies. The war will begin next spring. Many of them don't even have suitable weapons. If you want them to die, you have to let them die with some value, right? Also, winter is coming. Shouldn't you prepare some winter items for them? Otherwise, they will all die before they even enter the battlefield. Who will be the vanguard then … "
The Rose of Death raised a series of questions. She was only responsible for speaking and did not ask for specific conditions. Everything was up to Fen Tianxiong to make the decision.
Fen Tianxiong felt that the Rose of Death's conditions were not excessive. Even if the others had objections, they would be suppressed by him. He made a request to the Rose of Death. "I want to see that alchemist."
