Chapter 70: The Pill
Time passed quickly during the process of refining the medicine. After Xiao Yun extracted all the medicinal essence, the originally bright sky turned dark.
Fortunately, soldiers around the square quickly lit torches, and the audience 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 refining the medicinal essence, it is to melt it into a pill, and this latter step is the real difficulty. If you are not careful, everything you have done before will be reduced to ashes.
Staring closely at the flame in the medicine cauldron, at a certain moment, Xiao Yun waved his palms repeatedly, and all the medicinal essence in the jade bottle flew into the medicine cauldron, and gradually merged together under the burning of the flame.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
As soon as the many medicinal essences came into contact, a muffled sound was heard, and under this sound, a wave of energy was transmitted, and the medicinal essences in the medicine cauldron were shaken apart and completely devoured by the heart fire of the green lotus.
"Failure..." Gu He and Fama said at the same time at the VIP table, and Fama's old face showed a trace of pain. Those medicinal herbs were collected by him with great effort, and now in just a moment, half of the medicinal herbs were gone without even ash. His heart was bleeding!
"What a pity. Perhaps it was because Master Xiao was refining the Po Zong Dan for the first time, and he did not have a good grasp of the fusion of the various medicinal materials, which led to the failure of this batch of medicinal materials." Gu He saw the confusion on the faces of others, and understood that although they knew they had failed, they did not 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 this second batch will be successful!" Hearing this, Fama also explained. It was the latter sentence that I didn't know whether it was to encourage Xiao Yun or to comfort himself.
In the audience, the people who were originally communicating suddenly became quiet after seeing this furnace failed, worried that it was because of their previous quarrel that Xiao Yun's refining was affected.
...
Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the bluestone platform, frowning slightly, and muttered: "What went wrong?"
When the medicinal essence was fused just now, he had clearly used his soul power to carefully sense the subtle reactions between the various medicinal materials, but the fusion still failed directly.
"Haha, kid, you controlled the temperature of the flame well when you were fusing just now, but the timing and order were wrong. You should have fused the cold marrow branch with the other herbs first, instead of adding it last. Otherwise, the icy energy in it will affect the previous medicinal essence, thus causing the fusion to fail."
Yao Lao's voice echoed in his heart, pointing out the mistake he had made when refining before.
"Is that so?" Xiao Yun lowered his head and pondered, 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 sees. After the first failure, Xiao Yun refined for more than ten hours, from night to early morning, and finally refined all the medicinal essence again. "
Huh!"
Xiao Yun let out a breath of the pent-up anger in his chest, and finally came to this step of fusion again.
This time, his soul power poured out and invaded the medicine cauldron. Any reaction in it could not escape his perception.
Afterwards, he followed Yao Lao's instructions and carefully controlled the essence of the medicine, slowly bringing them together, and gradually began to fuse together under the burning of the flame...
The fusion finally began safely. Xiao Yun stared at the medicine cauldron with full concentration, and even Yao Lao separated some of his soul power to invade the medicine cauldron to help him refine the pill.
It can only be said that the Po Zong Dan is the Po Zong Dan. With Xiao Yun's current level of medicine refining, it is still too difficult to refine it alone. Even with the help of Yao Lao, this group of medicinal essences took a whole day to fuse. A pill prototype with bumps on the surface finally took shape slowly in the medicine cauldron...
Looking at the pill prototype that finally condensed smoothly, Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. The most difficult step has been completed. He has basically succeeded in refining this Po Zong Dan. Next, he only needs to maintain the temperature of the flame and slowly fill the pill prototype with all the medicinal essences. When the medicinal essences are consumed, this Po Zong Dan will be born!
As time went by, the somewhat irregularly shaped 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! This pill is done!" Fama's face flushed, as if he had drunk a high-concentration liquor. At this moment, he wanted to jump up directly, fly to the bluestone platform, kick Xiao Yun away and refine it himself. The refining process of this Pozong Pill has reached the last step, and even if he is asked to go up, he can refine it successfully!
Others 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 it weren't for the low success rate of directly snatching it, and it would offend Xiao Yun, a sixth-grade pharmacist, they would have taken action long ago.
For other Dou Emperors, the Po Zong Dan can only increase the chance of breakthrough a little, but for Jia Xingtian and Yunshan, two peak Dou Emperors who are about to reach the end of their lifespan, the Po Zong Dan also symbolizes the continuation of life! Only by breaking through to the Dou Zong level can they continue to survive in the world.
As everyone continued to watch, Xiao Yun's hands kept changing, and his soul power controlled the Green Lotus Heart Fire. Suddenly, the flames in the medicine cauldron rose violently, almost overflowing the space inside the cauldron. Under the burning of the blue flame, the light of the pill became more and more dazzling. The
blue flame wrapped around the pill, and circles of energy waves kept surging out of it, as if brewing something. After about half an hour, all the energy was gathered in the medicine cauldron, and the originally surging blue 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 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 directly feel the terrifying energy contained in the light column.
Xiao Yun stood up, looked at the light column, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a streak of white light flew out of the light column and finally hung on his palm.
As the light separated from the light column, the huge light column also gradually shrank, and after a moment, it completely disappeared. Xiao Yun held a round pill in his hand, with waves on its surface, emitting a strong pill fragrance.
"I have no regrets in my life to see the birth of a sixth-grade pill." In the audience, an old man with four waves on his chest looked at the pill in Xiao Yun's hand and shouted excitedly.
"Master Xiao is awesome!"
"The sect-breaking pill is ready, Master Xiao is really the number one pharmacist in my Jiama Empire!"
Amid the cheers of the people, Xiao Yun summoned his wings and flew to the VIP seats. As soon as he got up, Fama and others surrounded him, staring at him with fiery eyes.
"President Fama, I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission. I have successfully refined this Sect Breaking Pill." As he spoke, Xiao Yun handed the pill to Fama. This was their previous agreement that once the Sect Breaking Pill was refined, it would belong to the latter.
"Hahaha, Elder Xiao is indeed a genius. I knew you could refine it successfully." The moment he took the Po Zong Pill, Fama felt two fiery gazes falling on him. He quickly put the pill into his ring, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a flat tone: "Elder Xiao, is there any other pill you want to try? We still have several medicinal materials for sixth-grade pills in the medicine warehouse of our Pharmacist Guild."
"Old man Fama, you..." Hearing this, Jia Xingtian on the side became anxious. Did this old man do it on purpose? He knew that Xiao Yun really needed the Po Zong Pill, but he still asked Xiao Yun if he wanted to refine other pills.
"I am Yunshan, and I have met 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 the treasure house of my Yunlan Sect and choose any three items."
"My Jiama Royal Family also wants to ask Master Xiao to refine two pills. After the refining is completed, you can also enter the royal treasure house and choose five treasures as you like." Jia Xingtian also said hurriedly. "
My Nalan family hopes that Master Xiao can remove the brand poison for my father."
"My Mu family..."
Others also talked at once, wanting to ask Xiao Yun to refine a pill or other things, and the conditions they offered were very tempting.
Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, suppressing his joy, and said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you follow the rules of the pharmacist, I will help you refine it. As for Uncle Nalan, wait until I refine these pills before removing the brand poison, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll wait for Master Xiao."
When the others heard what Xiao Yun said, they showed joy on their faces. The rules of the pharmacist are not important, as long as Xiao Yun is willing to agree. With his level of refining medicine, I believe that in a while, the strength of their group will increase a lot.
Gu He, who was standing aside, looked at the scene of everyone chasing Xiao Yun, and a trace of envy flashed in his heart, and his desire for the strange fire became stronger.
...
A month later, on the back mountain of 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 Holy City of Gama was attracted by it, but they were not surprised. Because Xiao Yun had been refining pills like crazy for the past month, and there would be a beam of energy shooting up into the sky almost every two days. The residents of the Holy City of Gama were already used to it.
"Another sixth-grade pill has been born. Master Xiao Yun is really powerful. This is the tenth one, right?"
Passersby on the street looked at the energy beam with envy and fear in their eyes, and then lowered their heads and did their own things.
Then on the mountain, the place was already full of people. Looking around, they were all big shots who could cause an earthquake in the Holy City of Gama by shaking their legs. But now, they were waiting anxiously, and from time to time they looked towards the secret room not far away.
"Creaky."
With the sound of the door being pushed open, everyone's eyes turned to the secret room, looking at the handsome boy who walked out slowly.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? All your pills have been successfully refined."
Xiao Yun looked a little tired, but still smiled. Then he waved his hand, and more than a dozen jade bottles flew out and floated in front of the corresponding people. In the past few days, he has refined a total of ten sixth-grade pills and three fifth-grade pills, a total of thirteen pills, but the benefits are 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 brilliant smiles on their faces, and bowed slightly to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun nodded, accepted the greetings of everyone, and then returned to the room prepared for him by Jia Xingtian to recover from the damage caused by the extensive refining these days.
