Chapter 59: Watch This, This is Alchemy!
Xiao Cang was intrigued and stood aside to quietly observe Lin Fei.
Lin Fei's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her pretty face was full of seriousness.
Refining elixirs requires the consumption of a large amount of soul power. Lin Fei's control over the fire was not yet perfect, so even if she was only refining a first-grade elixir, she had to give it her all and concentrate, without any slack.
She infused all her fighting energy into the alchemical fire, melting the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace into a somewhat rough but solid elixir.
Suddenly, a faint scent of elixir wafted out.
"It's done!"
"Miss Lin Fei succeeded!"
"She managed to successfully refine a first-grade elixir after only three attempts. It seems that she will definitely pass the first-grade alchemist assessment in a few days."
"She is indeed Master Otto's top disciple! "
"We should congratulate Miss Lin Fei in advance on her successful promotion to a first-grade alchemist."
"…"
A round of flattery and praise immediately came from the onlookers.
Lin Fei also showed a hint of joy, and the corners of her mouth curled up in pride.
The elixir was done! Although it was the most basic first-grade Qi Returning Pill, and the quality and color seemed average, it was indeed a first-grade elixir.
As long as she can successfully refine another one within five chances the day after tomorrow, she can become a real first-grade alchemist.
The thought of possibly having a star drawn on the collar of her noble purple alchemist robe soon filled Lin Fei with pride and joy.
Although a first-grade alchemist is just a beginner, their status is far superior to that of a current alchemist apprentice.
This time… Xue Mei will be slower than me, right? Lin Fei thought to herself, when suddenly an untimely voice rang out.
"Is such a rough alchemy technique worthy of so much praise and admiration? Hehe, it seems that the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild is only this level."
Instantly, the noisy atmosphere became quiet.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome and extraordinary man at the back of the crowd.
Seeing that Xiao Cang was not wearing a noble alchemist robe and was so young, a burst of noise erupted again.
"Who are you? How dare you speak so arrogantly?"
"Young man, do you know who the lady you just criticized is?"
"She is the personal disciple of Master Otto, the vice president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild. Miss Lin Fei! A well-known alchemy genius!"
"How dare you say that Miss Lin Fei's alchemy technique is rough! If it weren't for the guild's prohibition on private fights, I would have to let you know why the flowers are red!"
"…"
Lin Fei's pretty face also cooled down, showing displeasure.
If it weren't for her outstanding alchemy talent, how could she be accepted as a personal disciple by the fourth-grade alchemist Master Otto?
Now there is someone who looks even younger than her by a year or two, who actually says that her alchemy technique is rough? And it was just when she had just refined a first-grade elixir.
She almost lost her temper on the spot.
But considering that this is the Alchemist Guild, those who can come in should not be ordinary people, so she asked with a questioning tone, "Since you say so, you must have the ability to refine high-quality first-grade elixirs, right?"
Xiao Cang met Lin Fei's questioning gaze, and the certainty in his eyes made Lin Fei a little shocked.
"Otherwise?"
Xiao Cang showed a casual smile.
Before everyone could react, he spread his right hand, and a golden fire lotus condensed, burning in his palm.
The moment the flame appeared, a terrifying aura and high temperature swept out.
"This… this is… condensed real fire?!"
"This is the symbol of a fourth-grade alchemist!!!"
"How is it possible! He looks so young!"
The surrounding people immediately let out a cry of horror, and the previous contempt and hostility were all swept away.
Although they didn't believe that Xiao Cang was a fourth-grade alchemist, this ability to easily condense real fire meant that Xiao Cang definitely had a high level of alchemy.
"Since I'm bored today and happened to run into this, let me open your eyes and show you what alchemy is!"
Xiao Cang flicked his finger and shot the Beast Spirit Fire into a nearby alchemy furnace.
"Boom!"
The flames rose, and the alchemy furnace quickly heated up.
Xiao Cang had a thought, and his powerful soul perception immediately put the medicinal materials for refining the Qi Returning Pill next to him into the alchemy furnace.
The scorching high temperature quickly melted various medicinal materials into juice, but Xiao Cang did not directly melt all kinds of juices together like Lin Fei.
Instead, he first used precise soul perception to separate the impurities in the juice, and then condensed these pure medicinal powder together to form a complete elixir.
After a while.
"Boom!"
Xiao Cang withdrew the alchemy fire, opened the alchemy furnace, and a refreshing elixir fragrance filled the air.
An elixir flew into Xiao Cang's palm, bright in color and round and solid.
"Hiss!"
A sound of inhaling cold air sounded around.
"This… it's done?!"
"It took less than a hundred breaths from start to finish!"
Everyone showed a look of horror.
The alchemy speed and level shown by Xiao Cang far exceeded their imagination.
"This…"
Lin Fei was dumbfounded, her apricot eyes full of incredulity, she took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell violently.
Although she didn't personally hold the elixir to check, the elixir in Xiao Cang's palm, whether it was color or elixir fragrance, all indicated its perfection.
Most importantly, from the time Xiao Cang started the fire to the time the elixir was formed, it took less than a hundred breaths!
Being able to refine a perfect first-grade elixir so casually in such a short time, who is this person?
Lin Fei looked at Xiao Cang in surprise and doubt.
Just now she looked at Xiao Cang with anger and didn't think Xiao Cang was anything special, even thought Xiao Cang was a bit annoying.
But looking at him now, she suddenly felt that Xiao Cang was quite handsome.
That angular face depicted perseverance and handsomeness to the extreme, making her almost lost in it as she watched.
"Is this elixir of mine considered high quality?" Xiao Cang hooked the corner of his mouth with a playful smile.
"Of course it is."
Lin Fei dared not neglect, immediately got up and saluted Xiao Cang.
However, when she got up, the extremely long black hair tied up by a purple hair band behind her inadvertently slapped on her buttocks, and bounced a few times, making people look a bit fascinated.
"The little girl Lin Fei, has met the Senior."
"Just now Lin Fei was ignorant, I hope the senior will not take offense."
Although Lin Fei's character has always been arrogant, she is not a brainless person. Since she saw that Xiao Cang was not an ordinary person, she would give enough respect.
"No problem."
Xiao Cang waved his hand casually.
"I don't know the senior's name yet?"
Just after Lin Fei asked this question, she saw her master, Master Otto, walking quickly into the alchemy area.
She was immediately overjoyed and thought about showing the elixir she had just refined to her master.
Although the quality is not as good as the handsome son in front of her, this is the first-grade elixir she independently refined, and the master will definitely be happy when he sees it.
But before she could do anything, Master Otto walked up to Xiao Cang and showed a kind smile, "Brother Xiao, so you are here."
Xiao… brother?!
Lin Fei was taken aback when she heard this.
Her apricot eyes kept moving between Xiao Cang and Otto, she really couldn't believe how these two people, who were at least forty years apart in age, could call each other brothers.
Wait…
His surname is Xiao?!
Lin Fei's mind was suddenly electrified.
That unparalleled genius of the Yunlan Sect who advanced to a fifth-grade alchemist at the age of only eighteen, seems to be also surnamed Xiao?!
