C15 Toxic Smoke

"Today, I'll do it myself. You won't be able to learn this!" Bai Yu Zhe said indifferently. His tone was filled with confidence.

Wu Cang was obviously surprised. Bai Yu Zhe's cultivation was obviously in the Heart's Gate realm. Although it was a lot stronger than a few days ago, but it didn't meet the basic requirements to be an alchemist. How could he act? Moreover, he said that he couldn't learn it. Then it was even more impossible to refine one at the Heart's Gate realm?

However, he didn't dare to ask. No matter what, he would still be able to see it later, right?

"I'd like to see what rank pill it is. Could it be that a mere Heartforce Cultivator like him is able to refine a Grade Three pill?" Wu Cang thought to himself. Although he respected Bai Yu Zhe, now that he was a second tier alchemist, he had some confidence in himself.

After a while, Bai Yu Zhe finished choosing all the ingredients. There were more than 30 kinds in total, a dozen more than the materials used for the Blood Transformation pill. However, these materials were only low-tier materials, and they were worth less than a cauldron of Blood Transformation pills.

Wu Cang was confused. He simply could not understand what kind of pill Bai Yu Zhe was going to refine. He did not believe that such a low grade medicine would be able to concoct a high grade Spirit Pill. He had never heard of any kind of low-tier medicinal pill that required so many medicinal ingredients.

"Brother Bai, what are you refining?" Wu Wenxuan curiously walked to Bai Yu Zhe's side and directly asked. She was only a fifteen-year-old girl after all, and was very lively. She didn't have as many concerns as her father when meeting Bai Yu Zhe who was the same age.

The way the father and daughter duo addressed Bai Yu Zhe was also very strange. One was called Little Brother Bai, the other called Brother Bai. It was as if they were of the same generation. However, their cultivators weren't too concerned about this.

Bai Yu Zhe smiled and said, "Hehe, poison!"

"Ugh …" Wu Wenxuan's expression changed slightly. Hearing the word 'poison', no one could help but to feel a sense of dread. The last time Bai Yu Zhe came back to her with a few Origin Condensing Pills, she didn't dare to ask any questions about refining the poison.

However, last time, Bai Yanzhi had appeared very casual. He had only added a stalk of Withering Tail Grass to the Origin Condensation Pill. However, this time, he chose over 30 different medicinal plants at once. Clearly, it was different from the last time.

Wu Wenxuan had told him about last time, but he didn't have the time to think about it as he had recently advanced to a tier 2 alchemist. Now, hearing Bai Yu Zhe's solemn words about refining poison, it really shocked him once again.

He had heard of poison masters before, but it was just a few words. This industry seemed to be similar to theirs, but he knew that poison masters were incomparably mysterious existences, and their numbers were much rarer than alchemists.

It was said that high-level poison masters were extremely terrifying!

Soon, Bai Yu Zhe arrived in front of the furnace with the herbs he had chosen. He poured all of the herbs into the furnace and sat down cross-legged.

Wu Cang was astonished. More than thirty medicinal herbs were thrown into the pill furnace together? What was going on? Pill refining was very particular about this. Even when Bai Yu Zhe was giving him pointers, although the speed of the medicinal herbs' input was very fast, it was still a very orderly process. How could it be like this …

Could it be that refining poison was so unimportant? Then why were there so few poison masters, and why did Bai Yu Zhe say that he couldn't learn it himself?

How could he know that refining poisons was as important as concocting pills. It was just that with Bai Yu Zhe's level, he didn't need to concoct any low-grade poisons!

Bai Yu Zhe, who was sitting in front of the pill furnace, was extremely focused. Other than the pill furnace, there was nothing else in his eyes. His right hand formed a strange seal as he placed it on his left chest, while his left hand pressed on his right wrist. His right hand formed a strange seal as he placed his right hand on his left chest, placing his left hand on his right hand as he pressed his right hand on his wrist.

Gradually, Wu Cang and Wu Wenxuan discovered that Bai Yu Zhe's entire body seemed to have changed. It was as if a raging flame was igniting from within his body. Even when Wu Cang was about to advance to a tier two alchemist, he didn't feel that this heat wave was much stronger than this.

Boom …

Bai Yu Zhe suddenly pushed his hands forward, and the furnace was instantly set ablaze. The purplish-red flames burned very steadily, with no signs of extinguishing.

It was common knowledge that a pill refiner needed source energy to concoct the pill, so it was impossible for a pill refiner of the Heart's Gate realm to refine it. And with every increase in realm, the alchemy fire would become purer and the quality of the fire would become higher. Only then could the alchemy be refined to a higher grade.

However, Bai Yu Zhe's performance had already exceeded Wu Cang's common sense. At this moment, he didn't dare to ask and could only stare without blinking.

What was even more shocking was Wu Wenxuan, the last time Bai Yuzhe taught her how to use similar methods to forcefully add a little poison into the Origin Condensation Pill, only now did she know that what she learned was only a simplified version!

If Bai Yu Zhe was using this method now, Wu Wenxuan felt that she wouldn't be able to learn it at all. It was too complicated.

Only then did the father and daughter realize that the more complicated matter was yet to come. Bai Yu Zhe's [Pill Refining Technique] dazzled them. Even with Wu Cang's cultivation, it was impossible to forcefully remember it. Moreover, techniques were just a superficial phenomenon and were used to guide the body's strength to produce different efficiency. Although it was very important, without a mental cultivation method, it was completely useless.

As time passed, the father and daughter also discovered that although the pill furnace's flame was burning fiercely, as Bai Yu Zhe's hand seal changed, the flame constantly changed. It looked like the flame was unstable, but Wu Cang knew that this was not the case.

This was because the flames within would often take on a special form. For a moment, they danced like a phoenix, but the time was too short. In less than half a second, they disappeared and changed into a different form.

Twenty minutes later, a cloud of black smoke emerged from the top of the lid and formed a straight line as it charged forward!

"Do me a favor and collect all the smoke!" At this time, Bai Yu Zhe's voice sounded out and he continued to change his hand seals.

Wu Cang, who was engrossed in his thoughts, immediately took out a jade bottle. His right hand formed a spell sign and activated the smoke. Gradually, the smoke was absorbed into the jade bottle. This cloud of smoke lasted for about three minutes before it finally came to an end. It was completely concentrated within the jade bottle, causing the entire jade bottle to turn ink-black and the black smoke within it to roil about.

Staring at this jade bottle, Wu Cang's heart palpitated for no reason.

A few minutes later, Bai Yu Zhe finally finished refining the pill. Finally, there was only a small amount of emerald green liquid left in the pill furnace. Bai Yu Zhe also kept it in the jade bottle.

At this moment, Bai Yu Zhe's face was also pale and his forehead was dripping with sweat. After all, his cultivation was still at the late stage of the heart realm. He wasn't at the peak yet. Even with his experiences from his past life and his attempts at refining pills, no matter how heaven-defying a genius was in this realm, he would at most be able to refine a grade 1 Origin Condensation Pill!

Moreover, the poison he refined was much more difficult than a grade one Origin Condensation Pill.

This was also the strength of the 'Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens' cultivation method. Of course, the Nine Tribulations Saint Body was also one of its reasons. But after completing the refinement, he had nearly used up most of his energy. After greeting Wu Cang and his father, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens Tactic to recover.

Wu Cang held the jade bottle that contained the poisonous smoke. He was very curious and wanted to know how strong the poisonous smoke was, but he didn't dare to try. He waited for more than an hour before he stopped.

Seeing Bai Yu Zhe stand up, Wu Cang cautiously opened his mouth and said, "Little Brother Bai, this Du Yan …"

However, he was quickly interrupted by Bai Yu Zhe, "You don't need to ask about refining poison. This aspect is much more complicated than refining pills. I will head back first. I will come back as soon as possible to refine a grade-2 condensing Yuan Dan."

After he finished speaking, Bai Yu Zhe took the jade bottle containing the poisonous smoke and left.

This was the first time after his soul was nurtured that it was used to refine medicine, and it was even used to refine poison. He had never refined this kind of poison before in his previous life. After all, this kind of low-grade poison was temporarily concocted by him after he saw Wu Cang's medicine storage.

As long as one knew the medicinal properties of each pill, one would be able to understand it well enough and, through the combination of the various medicinal properties, they would be able to create a poison or pill at any time.

This realm was countless times stronger than that of an apothecary who had only used a pill formula to forge pills. It was on a completely different realm.

According to Bai Yu Zhe's calculations, the poisonous smoke that he refined would pose quite a threat to any Origin Drawing Realm expert. Moreover, its killing range was quite large. If there were no surprises, then it would be enough to ensure their safety.

And the last bottle of dark green liquid was the antidote for this poison. It was prepared for his own people.

After exiting the Aromatic Pills Pavilion, Bai Yu Zhe headed towards the run-down temple on Gou Wai Street. With Bai Yu Zhe's normal speed, it would take him around half an hour to get there.

"Hmm?" As he neared Gou Wai Street, he suddenly frowned and stopped in his tracks. Not far ahead, five people had appeared, looking at him with cold, indifferent gazes.

Four of these five people had met Bai Yu Zhe, and he was the one who had stopped him at that time, saying that he would take him to see some kind of master. They were all experts of the Spirit Aperture Realm, and they had rich battle experience, so they were very decisive and ruthless in their moves.

The other person looked slightly older and should be around 40 years old. The aura he emitted was much thicker than Wu Cang's. Without a doubt, this person's cultivation was in the Origin Drawing Realm. Moreover, he wasn't like Wu Cang, who had just broken through.

"They really are haunting us like ghosts!" Bai Yu Zhe muttered to himself as he saw the newcomer. He revealed a serious expression on his face.

These people were not easy to deal with. No matter how powerful the Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens Art was, or how heaven-defying the Nine Tribulations Holy Body was, at this stage, it could not manifest much more. How was that possible …
