Chapter 188 Pills are made
"Master Xiao, this is the place where I, Fenyan Valley, prepare medicine for you." Tang Zhen pointed to the high platform under his feet, and then pointed to the elders and disciples around him, and said with a smile: "As for them, when you start to refine, they will guard here, and not even a mosquito can disturb you!"
Xiao Yun did not speak at the first time, but looked around, looking at the admiration of the people around him, and said slowly: "Master Tang, there is no need for guarding. When I refine medicine, I am not used to having someone by my side."
If it is not necessary, Xiao Yun still prefers to refine pills alone.
"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 two people left in the huge square.
"Master Xiao, do you think I should ask the people over there to leave?"
Hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Yun followed Tang Zhen's finger and looked to the other side of the square. It was a spacious platform. Although it was lower than the high platform in the field, it could overlook all the movements in the square, and it could also be seen clearly from the high platform.
On the platform, there were many figures wearing alchemist costumes, and they were looking at him with fiery eyes.
"Those are the alchemists from my Burning Flame Valley. I didn't take them to Shengdan City to watch you refine the medicine last time. I wanted to let them watch it on site this time. Since you don't like it, I'll let them go."
"No need, Master Tang, just let them watch." Xiao Yun shook his head. The people on the platform were much farther away from him, so it didn't matter if they watched.
"Can I watch from there too?"
"Of course, you can watch if you want." Just don't ask to help me refine the herbs.
"Thank you, Master Xiao!" Tang Zhen was delighted to receive Xiao Yun's affirmation.
There were not many high-level pharmacists in the Burning Flame Valley, which was quite painful for Tang Zhen, who was a heavy lover of refining medicine. Now that he could watch the eighth-grade pharmacist refining medicine on the spot, he naturally did not want to let such an opportunity slip away.
When Tang Zhen left the platform and Xiao Yun was the only one left in the square, he took out the recipe of the Nine-Star Yin-Yang Pill, closed his eyes slightly, and read it carefully.
After a few minutes, when he had completely understood the refining method on it, his eyes slowly opened, and a wisp of black flame burned in it.
"Swoosh!"
With a wave of his hand, the huge Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron flashed out, carrying a strong sound of wind, and landed heavily on the platform.
After taking out the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yun did not start heating it directly, but sat cross-legged on the high platform, waved his palm again, and countless medicinal materials flew out of the ring and floated in the air.
"Huh!"
After making all the preparations, Xiao Yun snapped his fingers, and a jet of black flame shot out, flew directly into the medicine cauldron, and then split into countless flames.
Suddenly, the temperature in the medicine cauldron rose rapidly, and the beast-shaped patterns on the surface of the medicine cauldron seemed to come alive, galloping around the medicine cauldron, accumulating flame energy.
"The Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron is really worthy of being one of the Tianding List. If I can get this cauldron, I can refine the fifth-grade elixir, which can at least be improved by about 10%."
Seeing the appearance of the red medicine cauldron, the pharmacists on the stands exclaimed, their eyes filled with desire for the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron.
"Hmph, Old Monster Ning, you are only a fifth-grade alchemist, and you want to use the Heavenly Cauldron? Are you worthy?"
"No matter how incompetent I am, I am better than a fifth-grade half-baked one like you!"
"Who are you calling half-baked? You have the ability..."
"Be quiet!" Listening to the quarrels of 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 alchemist! I finally got you a chance to observe? In the end, you are still quarreling here?"
"Valley Master, we are wrong."
Seeing Tang Zhen's rage, the pharmacists who were arguing with each other immediately apologized and admitted their mistakes, not daring to say anything more.
"Hmph, watch carefully for me. If anyone dares to argue again, get out of Fenyan Valley!"
"Yes!"
Seeing the appearance of this group of pharmacists, Tang Zhen sighed slightly, and then said nothing more, silently observing Xiao Yun's refining techniques.
Fenyan Valley really lacks pharmacists. If it weren't for his natural fighting spirit and lack of that bit of wood spirit, he would have to teach these arrogant pharmacists a good lesson!
...
On the high platform, Xiao Yun did not hear the quarrels of other pharmacists. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron, and his palms kept waving. The herbs suspended in the air swept down one after another, and then jumped into the flames continuously.
As soon as the herbs entered the medicine cauldron, they were bitten by the little dragon in the dark flames. The 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 fast, but it not only tests the method of refining medicine, but also requires strong control over the flames. If there is any mistake in these two links, it will directly lead to the failure of this medicine refining.
However, Xiao Yun, as a master of medicine refining, dared to use such a method, so he naturally had confidence in his heart.
Nearly a thousand medicinal materials, under his rapid refining method, have been refined in just one day.
At this moment, a group of medicinal essences of different colors are suspended in the medicine cauldron. Obviously, Xiao Yun has reached the second step of medicine refining, the fusion process.
"Huh!"
Staring at the medicinal essence closely, he did not dare to be distracted at all, controlling 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 cultivation.
"What a pity! Master Xiao had done a great job before. Whether it was the refining technique or the fusion process, it can be said that it was flawless."
"Maybe it's because it was the first time. Okay, everyone, stop talking. Master Xiao is starting the second time!"
Failure in refining medicine is as simple as eating and drinking water for a pharmacist. As an avid enthusiast, Tang Zhen naturally understands this. So when he saw Xiao Yun fail, he didn't worry about the medicine except for feeling sorry for that portion of medicine.
On the high platform, Xiao Yun closed his eyes and thought. After summarizing his experience of failure, he didn't stop for a moment and started the second round directly.
After refining the medicinal materials without any trouble, he looked at the medicinal essence in the medicine cauldron and slowly integrated it with a more careful method than last time.
Perhaps because he was more careful, the integration this time was more smooth. Xiao Yun only took six days to integrate the medicinal essences of different colors into a pill.
"Bang!"
On the stands, the people who had watched for so many days and were still very energetic only heard a loud noise coming from the sky above the square, and then, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to be attracted by some force and suddenly rushed into the medicine cauldron.
"Is the pill going to be successfully refined?"
Noticing this unusual movement, everyone stood up one after another, looking nervously in the direction of the platform, before they could guess the quality of this pill.
Another loud noise 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.
