Chapter 70 Dan Cheng
Time passed quickly during the process of refining the medicine. After Xiao Yun extracted all the essence of the medicinal properties, the originally bright sky turned , soldiers around the square quickly lit torches, and the spectators present were not ordinary people. Even in the dark, they could see Xiao Yun's every move clearly.
Looking at the jade bottle in front of him, Xiao Yun's face became more and more solemn. After extracting the essence of the medicine, the next step is to melt it into a pill. This latter step is the really difficult part. If he is not careful, everything he has done before will be wiped out.
His eyes were fixed on the flame in the medicine cauldron. At a certain moment, Xiao Yun waved his hands repeatedly, and all the medicinal essence in the jade bottle flew into the medicine cauldron. Under the burning of the flame, they gradually merged together.
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as the many medicinal essences came into contact, muffled sounds were heard, and with the sound, a wave of energy was transmitted, and the medicinal essences in the medicine cauldron were shaken apart and completely swallowed up by the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.
"Failed..." Furukawa and Fama said at the same time in the VIP seats. A look of pain appeared on Fama's old face. He had collected those herbs with great effort. Now, in just a moment, half of them were gone without even ashes left. His heart was bleeding!
"What a pity! Perhaps it was because this was Master Xiao's first time refining the Po Zong Dan, and he didn't have a good grasp of the fusion of the various medicinal materials, which led to the waste of this batch of medicinal materials." Gu He saw the confusion on the others' faces and realized that although they knew they had failed, they didn't know the reason, so he explained.
"That's right, but Elder Xiao has done a very good job in the previous work. I believe that the second furnace will be successfully refined!" Upon hearing this, Fama also began to explain. It was not known whether this last sentence was an encouragement to Xiao Yun or a comfort to himself.
In the audience, the people who were originally communicating suddenly became quiet after seeing this furnace failed, worried that their previous noise would affect Xiao Yun's refining.
……
Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the bluestone platform, frowning slightly, and muttered: "What went wrong?"
When the medicinal essences were fused just now, he had clearly used his soul power to carefully sense the subtle reactions between the various herbs, but the fusion still failed.
"Haha, little guy, you controlled the flame temperature well when you just fused it, but the timing and order were wrong. You should have fused the cold marrow branch with the other herbs first, instead of leaving it last. Otherwise, the icy energy in it would affect the essence of the previous herbs, thus causing the fusion to fail."
Yao Lao's voice sounded in his heart, pointing out the mistakes he had made when refining the medicine before.
"Is that so?" Xiao Yun lowered his head and pondered, his mind constantly recalling the various reactions that occurred during the fusion just now. After a long while, he concentrated again, cleared all the impurities in the medicine cauldron, and started refining again...
Refining pills is an extremely tedious and complicated task, far from being as easy as an outsider would think. After the first failure, Xiao Yun refined it for more than ten hours, from night to early morning, and finally refined all the essence of the medicine again.
"call!"
Xiao Yun let out the breath that had been pent up in his chest, and finally came to the step of fusion.
This time, all his soul power poured out and invaded the medicine cauldron. Any reaction that occurred there could not escape his perception.
Then, according to Yao Lao's instructions, he carefully controlled the essence of the medicine, slowly brought them together, and under the burning of the flame, they gradually began to merge together...
The fusion finally started without any danger. Xiao Yun stared at the medicine cauldron intently. Even Yao Lao separated some of his soul power and invaded the medicine cauldron to assist him in refining the pill.
It can only be said that the Pozong Pill is a Pozong Pill. With Xiao Yun's current level of alchemy, it is still too difficult to refine it alone. Even with the help of Yao Lao, this ball of medicinal essence took a whole day to fuse. Finally, a pill prototype with pits on the surface slowly took shape in the medicine cauldron...
Looking at the pill prototype that was finally successfully condensed, Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. The most difficult step had been completed, and he had basically succeeded in refining the Po Zong Dan. Next, he just had to maintain the temperature of the flame and slowly fill the pill prototype with all the medicinal essence. When the medicinal essence was consumed, the Po Zong Dan would be born!
As time went by, the somewhat irregular shape of the pill gradually became rounder, and a rich pill fragrance permeated from it. At the same time, there were circles of visible energy ripples, centered on the medicine cauldron, sweeping in all directions.
"Hahaha! The pill is done!" Fama's face flushed, as if he had drunk a highly concentrated liquor. At this moment, he wished he could jump up, fly to the bluestone platform, kick Xiao Yun away and refine it himself. The refining process of this sect-breaking pill had reached the last step. Even if he was asked to go up, he could refine it successfully!
The other people in the VIP seats could no longer sit still, especially Jia Xingtian and Yunshan, who stared at the medicine cauldron with extremely fiery eyes. If the success rate of snatching it directly was not high and it would offend Xiao Yun, the sixth-grade alchemist, they would have taken action long ago.
For other Dou Huangs, the Po Zong Dan can only increase the chance of a breakthrough, but for Jia Xingtian and Yunshan, two peak Dou Huangs who are about to reach the end of their lifespans, the Po Zong Dan also symbolizes the continuation of life! Only by breaking through to the Dou Zong level can they continue to live in the world.
As everyone continued to watch, Xiao Yun's hands kept moving, and his soul power controlled the Green Lotus Earth Fire. Suddenly, the flames inside the medicine cauldron rose violently, almost overflowing from the space inside the cauldron. Under the burning of the green flame, the light of the pill became more and more dazzling.
The green flame wrapped around the pill, and circles of energy fluctuations continued to surge out of it, as if something was brewing. After about half an hour, all the energy was gathered into the medicine cauldron, and the originally surging green flame also penetrated into the round pill.
"boom!"
At the moment when the pill took shape, accompanied by a thunderous explosion, a beam of light thicker than yesterday's shot into the sky!
"The sect-breaking pill has been refined!"
Everyone in the square stood up, looking at the light column in the center of the square with awe in their eyes. Especially those who were above the Grand Fighter level, they could intuitively feel the terrifying energy contained in the light column.
Xiao Yun stood up and looked at the beam of light. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand and a ray of white light flew out of the beam of light and finally hovered on his palm. As the light separated from the beam of light, the huge beam of light gradually shrank. After a moment, it completely disappeared. Xiao Yun held a round pill in his hand. There were ripples on its surface, and it exuded a strong pill fragrance.
"I have no regrets in my life to see the birth of a sixth-grade elixir." In the audience, an old man with four ripples embroidered on his chest looked at the elixir in Xiao Yun's hand and shouted excitedly.
"Master Xiao is awesome!"
"The sect-breaking pill is ready. Master Xiao is truly the best alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire!"
Amid the cheers of the people, Xiao Yun summoned his wings and flew to the VIP seats. As soon as he got up there, Fama and others surrounded him, staring at him with fiery eyes.
"President Fama, I have fulfilled my mission. I have successfully refined this Po Zong Dan." As he spoke, Xiao Yun handed the pill to Fama. This was their previous agreement that the Po Zong Dan would belong to the latter once it was refined.
"Hahaha, Elder Xiao is indeed a genius. I knew you could make it successfully." The moment he took over the Sect Breaking Pill, Fama felt two fiery gazes falling on him. He quickly put the pill into his storage ring, suppressed his excitement, and said calmly: "Elder Xiao, do you have any other pills you want to try? We still have several ingredients for sixth-grade pills in the Alchemist Guild's medicine warehouse."
"Old man Fama, you..." Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian on the side suddenly became anxious. Did this old man do it on purpose? He clearly knew that he really needed the Po Zong Pill, but still asked Xiao Yun if he wanted to refine other pills.
"I am Yunshan, and I am honored to meet Master Xiao." Yunshan, with fluttering white hair, directly blocked Fama's figure, bowed slightly to Xiao Yun, and said with a smile: "My Yunlan Sect would like to ask Master Xiao to refine another sect-breaking pill. Regardless of the result, Master Xiao can enter my Yunlan Sect's treasure house and choose any three items."
"My Jia Ma royal family also wants to ask Master Xiao to refine two pills. After the refining is completed, you can also enter my royal treasury and choose five treasures as you like." Jia Xingtian also said hurriedly.
"My Nalan family hopes that Master Xiao can remove the branding poison from my father."
"My Mu family..."
Others also talked at once, wanting to ask Xiao Yun to refine a pill or do other things, and the conditions they offered were very tempting.
Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, suppressing his joy, and said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone. As long as you follow the rules of the pharmacist, I will help you refine it. As for Uncle Nalan, wait until I finish refining these pills before I go to remove the brand poison, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for Master Xiao."
When the others heard what Xiao Yun said, they showed joy on their faces. The rules of the alchemist were not important, as long as Xiao Yun agreed. With his alchemy level, they believed that after a while, the strength of their group would increase significantly.
Gu He, who was standing aside, looked at the scene of everyone chasing after Xiao Yun, and a trace of envy flashed through his heart. His desire for the strange fire became stronger.
……
A month later, from the mountain behind the royal family, a beam of energy suddenly shot up into the sky.
The energy beam was so large that almost everyone in the entire Gama Holy City was attracted by it, but they were not surprised. Because in the past month, Xiao Yun had been frantically refining pills, and almost every two days there would be an energy beam shooting into the sky, and the residents of Gama Holy City were already used to it.
"Another sixth-grade elixir has appeared. Master Xiao Yun is really powerful. This is the tenth one, right?"
Passersby on the street looked at the beam of energy, their eyes filled with envy and fear, then they lowered their heads and went about their own business.
As for the mountain behind, it was already full of people. Looking around, they were all big shots who could cause an earthquake in the Holy City of Gama by just shaking their legs. But now, they were waiting anxiously, and from time to time they looked towards the secret room not far away.
"Crench."
As the door opened, everyone's eyes turned towards the secret room, looking at the handsome young man who walked out slowly.
"Have you all been waiting for a long time? All your pills have been successfully refined."
Xiao Yun's face was a little tired, but he still smiled and waved his hand. A dozen jade bottles flew out and hovered in front of the corresponding people. In the past few days, he has refined ten sixth-grade pills and three fifth-grade pills, a total of thirteen pills, but the profit is also very huge, earning nearly a hundred precious medicinal materials.
"Not long, not long. Master Xiao, thank you for your hard work."
Everyone quickly reached out to take the jade bottle, with bright smiles on their faces, and bowed slightly to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun nodded, accepted the greetings from everyone, and then returned to the room prepared for him by Jia Xingtian to recover from the losses incurred due to the extensive refining work over the past few days.
