C15 High-grade medicine
The burning flame quickly roasted the pill furnace red, and green smoke began to seep out from within.
When the bottom of the furnace turned completely red, Chen Xiao grabbed a stalk of herb and threw it into the furnace.
The moment the medicinal plant entered the furnace, it was instantly enveloped by a ball of flame. Under the effects of the high temperature, the medicinal plant immediately began to soften.
But right at that moment, Chen Xiao suddenly formed a strange seal with his hands, and immediately after, the flames inside the furnace strangely changed, the flames around the medicinal plant actually fell in an instant, and maintained a constant temperature, slowly roasting the medicinal ingredients, evaporating the medicinal liquid bit by bit.
Once the first stalk was finished, it would be followed by the second and the third!
When the third ingredient was almost taken care of by Chen Xiao, the spectators finally realised that the pill refining skills that Chen Xiao had displayed was completely different from what they knew!
"Pill Formula, he actually used Fire Control Pill Formula!" A 2-star apothecary stood up in shock.
The people around him were no better than him. Everyone stared with their eyes wide open!
The Pill Formula was an incomparably precious item, it required a Pill Refiner's powerful soul to control the fire within the furnace, and from then on, it would be able to quickly purify and condense the pill.
But even the most common Pill Formula s were extremely expensive, and were far from what they, a mere 2-star apothecary from a remote city, could obtain!
But now, they had never thought that Chen Xiao would actually use the incomparably precious Pill Formula!
"As expected of a master who came out of DongXun Empire. She actually even has something like a Pill Formula!" A two star apothecary looked at Chen Xiao with a face filled with envy.
"Look at him, his purification is also different from ours. The medicinal herbs he extracted previously have all turned dark brown in color!" Another two star apothecary's gaze landed on the jar beside Chen Xiao.
Black brown. This meant that the medicinal properties of the medicinal ingredients had almost been completely used up and they would only show this color now. If it was their previous method of cooking the medicinal pills, it would be impossible to purify the medicinal dregs until they were black brown!
"Do you guys think that it's possible for him to refine a third ranked Yang Returning Pill?" A pill refiner started to feel uncertain.
"He probably won't have a chance. Although this step looks simple, no matter how simple it is, his soul power is simply insufficient to last until the pill is completed!" Apothecary He opened her mouth again, her tone was uncertain.
Upon hearing these words, many people secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, if Chen Xiao really could refine Yang Returning Pill, each and every one of them would have to pay a considerable amount of gold coins.
Only Lu Feng had a trace of hesitation on his face. He was the one who wished for Chen Xiao to refine the Yang Returning Pill the most, if he couldn't, then he would be in big trouble!
Chen Xiao did not know what the crowd's thoughts were, nor did he have the mind to guess their thoughts.
At this moment, cold sweat covered his forehead.
At this moment, he realized that he had overestimated himself.
It was not that he could not refine pills, but from what he had seen in his previous life, not to mention third grade Yang Returning Pill, he could even refine a ninth grade pellet easily. But now, his body was only that of the 4-Star Martial Disciple, and he only had a sliver of Qi in his body.
Currently, after purifying all twenty odd medicinal herbs, Chen Xiao was already somewhat weak, and could not rely on the Pill Formula to continue refining pills.
But Chen Xiao had to win this gamble, even if it was for the few hundred thousand gold coins!
Glancing at the spatula that was just thrown to the side, Chen Xiao's mouth twitched a little, but he still picked it up.
The pill refiners at the side saw Chen Xiao picking up the spatula and starting to stir-fry the medicinal liquid. Their mouths twitched, but they did not say anything.
On the contrary, the shock in his heart decreased a little. If Chen Xiao really refined the pill in one go, then there was really something fishy.
Time passed, minute by minute.
The medicinal fragrance in the pill refining room slowly spread until it was so dense that it almost couldn't dissipate.
Chen Xiao's forehead was covered densely with beads of sweat, but he simply did not care about it, as he had already reached the final stage of condensing the core!
The spatula was once again thrown out by Chen Xiao, he immediately extended his hands into the pill furnace, one by one, Pill Formula was revealed, at the same time, he used his hands to flip the balls of nearly solid medicinal pellets.
...
"Rise!"
With a low and deep roar, Chen Xiao slapped the furnace and a string of black figures flew out. They were all caught by the tray Chen Xiao had brought out earlier.
"He really succeeded?" Looking at the pills on the tray in Chen Xiao's hands that were still emitting heat, everyone couldn't sit still anymore and gathered around.
Especially Apothecary He and Lu Feng, they directly squeezed through the crowd and started to carefully inspect each one of them with a pill.
"Indeed, it is a grade-3 pill. Furthermore, the medicinal strength within is extremely dense. It should be at least at the Superior Tier!" Apothecary He put some pills into his mouth and nodded as he commented.
"How is that possible? A fifteen to sixteen year old child, a Tier 3 pill refiner? Isn't this a little too crazy? " One of the pill refiners looked at Chen Xiao as he muttered to himself.
"Although I also find it hard to believe, it seems to be true!" Apothecary He spoke again, his face filled with a bitter smile.
"Apothecary Lu, this pill is made for you. Why don't you give it a try?" If there really is no problem, then we will lose. If there is a problem, then we will consider it your loss, Chen Xiao! " Apothecary He's gaze fell on Lu Feng.
Hearing that, Lu Feng was startled, and his gaze immediately landed on Chen Xiao.
Waiting for Chen Xiao to nod his head, only then did he seem to have made a difficult decision, he directly swallowed the Yang Returning Pill and sat cross-legged at the side, and started to quietly refine the medicinal power.
The remaining five pill refiners continued to observe the remaining five pills while looking at Chen Xiao and Lu Feng who was in the process of refining, the shock in their eyes was still hard to dispel.
At that moment, they could only pray in their hearts that the pills Chen Xiao refined would be useless.
Otherwise, they would lose a lot of face today.
Time passed amidst the nervousness of the crowd.
Chen Xiao was considered the calmest out of everyone here. After finding a seat, he sat down, and only occasionally looked at Lu Feng with a gaze that leaked through his heart.
"Haha, hahaha!"
A burst of loud laughter came out, following that, everyone saw Lu Feng who was meditating suddenly standing up.
Seeing Lu Feng's laughing expression, they knew what the result was. Although the few pill refiners found it hard to believe, but they had no choice but to accept this reality!
"Little friend Chen Xiao, I will never forget this kindness. In the future, if there is anything that this one can do, this one can find me directly!" Lu Feng's face was full of excitement.
The injuries that had troubled him for a long time had finally been completely healed after consuming the Yang Returning Pill just now!
Not only that, his body was now slightly stronger than before!
