C11 Pill Concocting with Heartache
"Request for the apothecary examination?"
Hearing Lee Taibai's words, Tang Xuan did not nod his head. With anger in his eyes, he said, "Are you thinking too simply about refining pills?"
Pill refining was Tang Xuan's belief, and Lee Taibai actually said it out loud. This was an insult to refining pills.
"The Sect seems to advocate for everyone to concoct pills. Don't tell me Apothecary Tang wants to strip me of this right?" Lee Taibai said.
He already had all the people he wanted, so he was too lazy to waste his breath.
If it were not for the Heart of the World, he would not have said so much.
Chen Hu, Chen Xuantian's type, could just kill them one by one.
His eyes were cold as he said, "Okay, then I will let you refine it. As long as you can concoct a Grade 7 pill, I can forgive you and acknowledge you as my disciple. If you can't even concoct a Grade 7 pill …"
Tang Xuan's tone was extremely cold.
"In that case, I will throw you into the Purgatory Flame and torture you to death. No matter who it is, no matter who it is, I will not give you any face."
Purgatory Flames was a type of torture within the Shifang Sect. It would not burn a person to death, but it would cause a person to suffer the pain of being burned by raging flames until the person's mind crumbled and died.
"Accept me as your disciple?" Lee Taibai had a strange expression. From his previous life, this was the first time someone said that they would take him as a disciple.
"Give him a seat." Tang Xuan looked towards the examination platform.
There were a total of a hundred seats on the apothecary examination platform, and on each seat, there was a cauldron. At this moment, the hundred pill furnaces were already filled with people.
Hearing Tang Xuan's words, many people immediately stood up.
Standing in the distance and watching Tang Xuan's actions, Lin Xiaodan looked at his disciple as if he was looking at an idiot.
He used to like Tang Xuan very much, but now, for the first time, he felt that this disciple of his was a little stupid.
"Looks like I need to properly educate them." A thought flashed across Lin Xiaodan's mind. At the same time, a look of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
He was very curious about the alchemy level of this young master of his.
Lee Taibai chose a middle-aged man's examination platform.
He lit the fire and turned on the stove.
"Can this fellow concoct pills?" Seeing Lee Taibai's actions, mocking voices sounded out one by one.
The activation of an apothecary would definitely cause him to sink into a state of tranquility. Only by concentrating could one forge a perfect pill, and a single mistake could lead to a mistake.
Every apothecary would take ten minutes to get himself into that state. However, Lee Taibai started the fire right away and started the furnace. This was something only outsiders could do.
"That's my spiritual herb!" Just at this moment, a miserable scream rang out. A middle-aged man cried out with some heartache.
The middle-aged man was wearing the outer sect disciple uniform and was the middle-aged man who gave Lee Taibai his seat. When he walked down, he forgot to take away the pill refining materials.
He didn't expect Lee Taibai to throw his spiritual herbs directly into the furnace.
"It's fine. When the time comes, I'll return it to you." Tang Xuan said lightly.
"No need." The middle-aged man shook his head as he spoke.
He wouldn't dare to let Tang Xuan give him back his spiritual herbs. Luckily, it was just some Tier 7 spiritual herbs, the middle-aged man thought to himself.
However, at this moment, Lee Taibai took out another red grass.
"Grade Six Spirit Grass, Blood Grass." Seeing Lee Taibai's actions, the middle-aged man's heart ached.
It wasn't easy for him to find this stalk of Blood Grass, and he intended to look for a tier 6 apothecary to forge a batch of grade-6 pills for him.
"It's fine. When the time comes, I'll return it to you." Tang Xuan's voice was still calm.
"No, no, no, no." The middle-aged man said as he gritted his teeth.
Lee Taibai picked up another snow-white flower in his hand. The flower had a faint glow to it, making it look very pretty.
"Grade five spirit flower, Snow Sun Flower."
"What is he trying to do!?" The middle-aged man had an urge to cry. This was something he had found in a ruin.
"Cough cough, I'm fine. When the time comes, I'll return it to you." Tang Xuan said again.
"No, no need." The middle-aged man held his heart in pain as he prayed in his heart, hoping that Lee Taibai would not find the last stalk of spirit grass that he had kept for countless years.
Right now, he was regretting his carelessness in not taking the items.
When they saw the middle-aged man, everyone present revealed expressions of sympathy.
"Hmm? "What's that smell?" Just at this moment, someone suddenly spoke up. Hearing this person's words, the middle-aged man's face immediately changed greatly.
"No!" He screamed, his eyes filled with despair.
A small blue flower appeared in Lee Taibai's hand. The moment the small blue flower appeared, a sweet smell filled the entire examination field.
"Grade four spirit flower, Blue Fragrance."
Shocked voices rang out one after another.
The treasures used to refine pills were divided into seven ranks, of which the seventh rank was the most common. The fifth and sixth rank was already considered precious, and the fourth rank and above were extremely rare.
It could be said that in the entire Shifang Sect, there were not many fourth rank pill refining heavenly resources.
The reason why Lin Xiaodan was able to concoct a Tier 2 pill was because Lin Xiaodan was a special person and he himself was a Tier 3 Pill Refiner. Otherwise, Lee Taibai would not have specially taken him as a disciple.
"Don't worry, once I borrow your materials, the pills I concoct will be yours." Lee Taibai said lightly.
"No, I don't want your pills. Give me back the herbs, and I'll give you the rest." Zeng Renfeng looked at Lee Taibai expectantly.
Zeng Renfeng was the name of the middle-aged man.
"It's fine. Don't worry, you will practice well." Lee Taibai said seriously.
"Big brother, isn't this the problem of whether you're serious or not? What's your own strength? Don't you have a little pressure in your heart?"
Seeing Lee Taibai throw the Blue Fragrance into the furnace, he turned to look at Tang Xuan with a sullen face.
"Tang shi, is what you said true?"
"Rest assured, I will make Lee Taibai suffer the punishment he deserves." Tang Xuan answered seriously and turned his body away from Zeng Renfeng.
The people beside Zeng Renfeng looked at him sympathetically.
One by one, the spiritual herbs were thrown into the furnace by Lee Taibai. Finally, they were caught one by one, which made people feel like Lee Taibai was messing around.
Zeng Renfeng was heartbroken.
For an apothecary to forge pills, every single spiritual herb would require a detailed configuration, and the pill formula itself was not allowed to be altered in the slightest.
"Alright." Ten minutes later, Lee Taibai suddenly said this and immediately opened the furnace.
"This guy really wasted good things." In the distance, there were many white clothed core disciples. Seeing this scene, they felt their hearts ache as they spoke.
Blue Fragrance, this was something that could make anyone's eyes go red with envy.
"This outer sect disciple is really pitiful. I wonder where he got the luck to find so many spiritual herbs and get wasted like that." Someone looked pitifully at Zeng Renfeng.
"If it was me, I would have collapsed."
"Hmm? "What's that smell?" At this time, one of the core disciples suddenly spoke up.
An intense fragrance filled the entire Shifang Sect.
