C84 You Better Take a Closer Look
Chen Fengmin's face turned ugly.
He felt a burst of panic in his heart as he looked at the one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver coins in the promissory note.
He was filled with regret as he wondered, Why didn't he look at the medicinal herb list?
Now…
If he didn't pay, how could he ask Zhan Tianming for guidance?
But if he did pay, wouldn't he die from regrets.
He could not bear to part with his dear coins, but he didn't have a choice either.
Chen Fengmin clenched his teeth.
He finally paid.
At most, he would find an opportunity to credit these silver coins in the account of Duke's Mansion.
With that thought, Chen Fengmin took out a banknote worth one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver coins, and had the servant send the manager away.
Zhan Tianming calmly took a sip of the tea in his cup, and slurped twice.
Finally, he looked at Chen Fengmin with an embarrassed look, and said, "Master Chen, I am truly sorry for making you spend so much money."
Chen Fengmin wanted to curse him when he heard it.
However, his face squeezed out an nonchalant smile.
"Its nothing worth mentioning."
Looking at Chen Fengmin's swollen face filled with fat, Zhan Tianming laughed in his heart.
'Hmph, continue pretending.'
The two of them continued to drink another cup of tea as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, Chen Fengmin finally could not hold it in and opened his mouth, "Master Zhan, may I ask if you can demonstrate the process of refining a Floral Jade Pill now?"
"Oh, of course." Zhan Tianming laughed, "It's just that, I don't have any medicinal ingredients on me right now."
"I do." Chen Fengmin was already prepared.
After all, he had come here to seek advice. The corresponding herbs had naturally been prepared by him long ago.
With that, Chen Fengmin took out the medicinal ingredients from the Cosmic Bag.
These medicinal ingredients were not real spiritual medicines.
They were extremely rare in Nine Dragons Continent.
Zhan Tianming remembered that there was an introduction on the Alchemy manual.
Each medicinal materials containing spiritual aura couldn't be called a spiritual medicine.
Any herb to be called a spirit medicine should be baptized by Dragon Qi and a dragon tattoo must be formed on its body.
Furthermore, the pills under the spirit rank did not require any spirit medicines.
To enter the realm of spirit medicine, one had to have a spirit rank or above.
Yellow, Mysterious, Earth, and Heaven rank could be used with ordinary herbs.
Floral Jade Pills were only Mysterious rank pill, there was no way one could use spiritual medicine in their pill ingredients.
Although these medicinal ingredients that Chen Fengmin took out all had traces of spiritual aura, they didn't have any Dragon Mark formed on them.
Zhan Tianming only gave it a glance.
As expected, all of them were the refined and modified Floral Jade Pill's medicinal herbs.
Moreover, there were even three full sets.
From the looks of it, Chen Fengmin had come prepared.
However…
Zhan Tianming was not worried at all.
Laughing in his heart, Zhan Tianming withdrew his gaze from the medicinal ingredients and said, "Master Chen, the method I use to refine the pill is very unique and simple. When I demonstrate it later, you need to take a good look."
"Thank you, Master Zhan." Chen Fengmin cupped his fists in gratitude.
Zhan Tianming nodded.
Taking two steps forward.
He took out the Mysterious rank Pill Cauldron that he had won last night.
Afterwards, he threw all the herbs needed to refine a Floral Jade Pill into the Pill Cauldron and covered it with a lid.
This action caused Chen Fengmin's eyes to widen.
Zhan Tianming ignored him.
With a wave of his hand, he injected True Qi into the Pill Cauldron according to the method recorded in the Alchemy manual.
Buzz…
As expected, the Pill Cauldron began to float.
Then, Zhan Tianming gently held the Pill Cauldron with one palm.
'It's Warm…'
The Fire Attribute gushed out and instantly encompassed the Pill Cauldron.
A few moment later.
Zhan Tianming bellowed in his heart.
'Pill forged!'
"Ding dong! You have succeeded in concocting the pill. You have obtained one Floral Jade Pill. Your proficiency has increased by 3 points."
'Another success?'
Zhan Tianming laughed inwardly.
It seemed that the fifteen points of karmic luck value added by the jade pendant on his neck was not bad at all.
Zhan Tianming retracted his hand after he wrapped the Pill Cauldron in fire and burned it for a while.
The True Qi fire instantly disappeared.
"Alright." Zhan Tianming said.
"You're done?" Chen Fengmin was stunned speechless, as he stood there in a daze.
'This pill was refined too quickly, wasn't it a little too simple?'
Chen Fengmin had no clue what just transpired in front of him.
Furthermore, he had never seen such a unique pill forging technique before, so how could he possibly understand it just by looking at it once?
It was like a primary school student looking at calculus.
His head was full of question marks.
"Yeah, that's all." Zhan Tianming nodded with a serious expression.
Finally, he casually opened the lid.
Sure enough, a shiny, round pill as smooth as jade, was resting silently inside the Pill Cauldron.
"Eighty percent Fusion Rate!" Chen Fengmin was shocked again.
He was completely dumbfounded.
He just stared at Zhan Tianming.
Eighty percent of Fusion Rate could be considered as rare.
After all, the pill that Chen Fengmin refined mostly had sixty to seventy percent Fusion Rate, and he would only be able to refine a pill with eighty percent Fusion Rate few times.
Moreover, every time he refined it, he would have to stay extremely focused.
As for Zhan Tianming?
How could he even refine pills with that casual look.
It was just like a magic show.
In spite of that, it easily reached eighty percent of the Fusion Rate.
'Oh my god!'
'Is he even human?'
Chen Fengmin was shocked.
Suddenly…
A flash of inspiration passed through his mind.
'Could it be that this is a completely new pill refining method?'
With that thought in mind, Chen Fengmin became excited, his eyes burned with passion as he looked straight at Zhan Tianming, and then he shouted out emotionally, "Master Zhan, I…"
"Master Chen, you should have already understood it, right?"
Zhan Tianming quickly interrupted Chen Fengmin and added, "When I first displayed it before, that idiot who lived next to me understood it. I think, with Master Chen's wisdom, you must have already understood it."
"Alright, then that's it. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
After uttering that, Zhan Tianming prepared to leave.
While Chen Fengmin just stood there in a daze.
He was left frozen in place due to Zhan Tianming's words, and was completely unable to say the rest of his words.
'Do I have to tell Zhan Tianming that I was simply unable to understand it?'
'Wouldn't that mean I would admit that I am inferior to even an idiot?'
'However…'
'If I nodded and said that I understood.'
"That..."
Chen Fengmin stood there in a daze, speechless.
"Ugh… Master Chen, are you alright?" Zhan Tianming pretended to be startled and asked.
Chen Fengmin blushed and immediately shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Oh, it's good that you're fine." Zhan Tianming nodded.
Chen Fengmin really wanted Zhan Tianming to demonstrate it one more time, but no matter what, he could not say it out loud.
At this time, Zhan Tianming suddenly turned around and said, "Master Chen, are you really alright?"
"Nothing, what can happen to me?" Chen Fengmin said.
"If there's nothing else, then I'm really leaving." Zhan Tianming said.
"Hmm, you can leave now." Chen Fengmin said.
Zhan Tianming laughed in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he revealed a hesitant look and said, "Master Chen, I can see that your expression is strange, could it be that when I was demonstrating earlier, you were thinking of other things and did not watch me carefully?"
"Actually…"
"If you didn't see it clearly, I can demonstrate it again."
