Chapter 188 Dan Cheng
"Master Xiao, this is the place where I, Fenyan Valley, have prepared medicine for you." Tang Zhen pointed to the high platform under his feet, then pointed to the elders and disciples around him, and said with a smile: "As for them, when you start refining, they will guard here. Even a mosquito will not be able to disturb you!"Xiao Yun did not speak immediately, but looked around, looking at the admiration and excitement in the eyes of the people around him, and slowly said: "Master Tang, there is no need for guards. When I am refining medicine, I am not used to having people around me."
Unless it is necessary, Xiao Yun still prefers to refine pills by himself.
"Ah?" Hearing this, Tang Zhen was a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He simply waved his hand, and the many elders and disciples who had gathered around the square retreated in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, Xiao Yun and Tang Zhen were the only ones left in the huge square.
"Master Xiao, do you think I should ask the people there to leave as well?"
After hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Yun followed Tang Zhen's finger and looked to the other side of the square. There was a spacious platform. Although its height was lower than the high platform in the field, it could overlook all the movements in the square very well, and everything could be seen clearly from the high platform.
There were many figures wearing alchemist's attire standing on the platform, looking at him with fiery eyes.
"Those are the alchemists from my Burning Flame Valley. I didn't bring them to Shengdan City to watch you make medicine last time. I wanted to let them watch it live this time, but since you don't like it, I'll let them go."
"No need, Valley Master Tang, just let them take a look." Xiao Yun shook his head. The people on the platform were much farther away from him, so it would be okay to let these people take a look.
"Can I watch there too?"
"Of course, you can watch if you want." As long as you don't offer to help me refine the herbs.
"Thank you, Master Xiao!" Tang Zhen was delighted to receive Xiao Yun's affirmation.
There aren't many advanced alchemists in Fenyan Valley, which is quite a painful thing for Tang Zhen who is a big fan of alchemy. Now he can watch an eighth-grade alchemy master making medicine on the spot, and naturally he doesn't want to let such an opportunity slip away.
When Tang Zhen left the platform and Xiao Yun was the only one left in the entire square, he took out the recipe of the Nine-Star Yin-Yang Pill, closed his eyes slightly, and began to read it carefully.
A few minutes later, after he had fully understood the refining method, his eyes slowly opened, and a trace of pitch-black flame was burning in them.
"call out!"
With a wave of his hand, the huge Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron appeared, carrying with it a strong sound of wind, and landed heavily on the high platform.
After taking out the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yun did not start heating it up directly. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the platform and waved his hand again. Countless medicinal herbs flew out of the ring and floated in the air.
"call!"
After making all the preparations, Xiao Yun snapped his fingers and a wisp of pitch-black flame shot out, flew straight into the medicine cauldron, and then split into countless flames.
Suddenly, the temperature in the medicine cauldron rose rapidly, and the animal patterns on the surface of the cauldron seemed to come alive, galloping around the cauldron, accumulating flame energy.
"The Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron is worthy of being one of the Heavenly Cauldrons. If I can get this cauldron and refine a fifth-grade elixir, my skill level will be improved by at least 10%."
Seeing the appearance of the scarlet medicine cauldron, the alchemists in the stands exclaimed, their eyes filled with desire for the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron.
"Hmph, Old Monster Ning, you are only a fifth-rank alchemist, and you want to use the Heavenly Cauldron? Are you worthy of me?"
"No matter how unworthy I am, I am still better than a half-baked fifth-grade person like you!"
"Who are you calling a half-wit? If you have the ability..."
"Be quiet!" Listening to the quarrels of the many alchemists on the stands, Tang Zhen, who had just walked up, was furious and said in a deep voice: "Master Xiao Yun is an eighth-grade alchemy master! I finally got you a chance to observe? And you are still quarreling here?"
"Valley Master, we were wrong." Seeing Tang Zhen's rage, the alchemists who had been arguing with each other immediately apologized and admitted their mistakes, not daring to say anything more.
"Humph, let me watch carefully. Anyone who dares to argue again will be kicked out of Burning Flame Valley!"
"Yes!"
Seeing the appearance of this group of alchemists, Tang Zhen sighed slightly, and then said nothing more, silently observing Xiao Yun's refining techniques.
Fenyan Valley was really short of alchemists. If it weren't for the fact that he lacked a trace of wood energy in his natural fighting spirit attribute, he would have taught these arrogant alchemists a good lesson!
……
On the high platform, Xiao Yun did not hear the quarrels of other alchemists. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron. His hands were constantly waving, and the medicinal materials suspended in the air were swept down one after another, and then jumped into the flames continuously.
As soon as the medicinal materials entered the medicine cauldron, they were bitten by the little dragon in the dark flames. Terrifying temperature was released from it. After a while, drops of medicinal essence seeped out from the surface and were then thrown to the side of the medicine cauldron by the dragon's tail.
This kind of refining seems to be very quick, but it tests not only the alchemy skills, but also requires strong control over the flame. If there is any mistake in these two links, it will directly lead to the failure of this alchemy.
However, since Xiao Yun is a master of alchemy, he must have the confidence to use such a method.
With his rapid extraction method, nearly a thousand medicinal materials were all extracted in just one day.
At this moment, a group of medicinal essences of various colors were suspended in the medicine cauldron. Obviously, Xiao Yun had reached the second step of refining the medicine, the fusion process.
"call!"
His eyes were fixed on the essence of the medicine, he did not dare to be distracted for a moment, and controlled its slow fusion. But just when it was about to succeed, a muffled sound suddenly came from the medicine cauldron.
"Failed……"
Although the people in the stands were far away, they still heard the sound thanks to their extraordinary skills.
"What a pity. Master Xiao had done a very good job before. Whether it was the refining technique or the fusion process, it could be said that it was flawless."
"Maybe it's because it's the first time. Okay, everyone, stop talking. Master Xiao is starting the second time!"
Failure in refining medicine is as easy as eating and drinking for a pharmacist. As an avid pharmacist, Tang Zhen naturally understood this. So when he saw Xiao Yun fail, apart from feeling sorry for the herbs, he did not feel any worries.
On the high platform, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and pondered. After summarizing his experience of failure, he started the second round without stopping for a moment.
After successfully refining the medicinal materials without any danger, he looked at the medicinal essence in the medicine cauldron and slowly integrated it with a more careful technique than last time.
Perhaps because he was more careful, the fusion this time was extra smooth. It only took Xiao Yun six days to fuse the medicinal essences of different colors into one pill.
"Oh!"
In the stands, the crowd, who had been watching for so many days and were still in high spirits, heard a loud noise coming from the sky above the square. Then, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to be attracted by some force and suddenly rushed into the medicine cauldron.
"Is the elixir about to be successfully refined?"
Noticing the unusual movement, everyone stood up and looked towards the platform nervously, before they could guess the quality of the pill.
Another loud bang was heard, and a pillar of fire shot out from the medicine cauldron and reached the sky. At the end of the pillar of fire, thunderclouds began to gather.
