Shen Xiang began to process the medicinal materials for the Bone Cleansing Pill. It was just some auxiliary medicinal materials and it would be done quickly.
It was the first time for him to refine this kind of pill. He didn't know anything about the three Iron Spirit Fruits and was not clear about their properties. He didn't know what changes would occur when burning in the flames. If he didn't know, he would fail in refining if he was not careful.
Therefore, he must make good use of the drill method to predict the next changes, so as to know what will happen and then make timely adjustments.
He threw the medicinal materials into the Flame Dragon Furnace, poured in the Heavenly Sun Fire, and began this new challenge!
Before he learned the refining method, he was prepared for failure when he started refining the pill. The refining method was created to help people reduce failures. The last time he refined the Five Elements True Essence Pill, he could not fail. At that time, he successfully refined a pill that he had never refined before in one go.
If he fails this time, he will not be able to get the medicine garden, so he must succeed. This is another very difficult challenge for him.
Just like the legend said, the Iron Spirit Fruit was extremely difficult to melt, which forced Shen Xiang to intensify the flames and increase the heat of the flames to burn the spirit fruit that was harder to melt than iron.
The fact that a plant can grow into this state shows the strange power contained in it. If it is combined with some auxiliary medicinal materials and made into an elixir, it will have even more magical abilities and can strengthen a person's body.
After increasing the fire, Shen Xiang, who used the refining method, quickly realized that because the fire was too big, it would affect the auxiliary medicinal materials, causing them to be completely burned, and the medicinal spirit was completely damaged.
This was a very serious problem, so he immediately made adjustments in advance and used his powerful spiritual sense to protect those fragile auxiliary medicinal materials. In this way, he could use a very strong flame to burn the Iron Spirit Fruit without worrying about the auxiliary medicinal materials being damaged.
Shen Xiang increased the intensity of the fire little by little. The Iron Heart Fruit was the most durable medicinal material he had ever encountered because it was very difficult to burn. Of course, his Heavenly Sun Fire was also very strong, especially after he sucked Hua Xiangyue's blood, it became even more powerful. As he continued to increase the intensity of the fire, the Iron Heart Fruit had changed.
Even so, Shen Xiang had already burned it for more than two hours, but this was the time inside the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace. Now it was only allowing the Iron Spirit Fruit to begin to melt, and it could not be completely burned into powder, and it could not bake out all the medicinal spirit energy inside.
Although the process was difficult, in Shen Xiang's opinion, it was simpler than the Five Elements True Essence Pill. Moreover, when he was refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill, he had just mastered the refining method, and was not as good as he is now in all aspects. Therefore, he did not find it too difficult to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill now.
Hua Xiangyue sat in the pavilion, playing with the ends of her hair, her beautiful eyes staring at Shen Xiang's handsome face. She felt that a serious man was very attractive. Her face was blushing now, and she didn't know what was going on in her mind.
"One furnace of Bone Cleansing Pills can produce four pills, but according to my current situation, it can produce at least six pills. I should be able to defeat that old guy now!" Shen Xiang's originally very serious face now became much more relaxed. Hua Xiangyue also saw that he was about to condense the pill.
Shen Xiang had already spent more than half an hour refining the Bone Cleansing Pill. It was his first time refining it, so it took him so much time, and Li Baojun had already caught up with him!
Li Baojun had refined the Bone Cleansing Pill many times, so it was very easy for him to refine it at this time, but he felt a lot of pressure in his heart. He was worried that he would lose to Shen Xiang.
This was the first time that Shen Xiang competed in alchemy with Li Baojun, an alchemist who could refine heaven-level pills. Although it was a competition of low-level pills, the basic levels of the two alchemists could be seen.
Sweat was already oozing out of Li Baojun's forehead. He was nervous because he was refining the elixir while paying attention to Shen Xiang's movements.
"It's finally done!" Li Baojun finished first. He took out five bone-cleansing pills, which were pills emitting a brown-red light and had a strange beauty.
When the old man saw that he was able to refine five pills, a smug smile appeared on his face. He thought that since Shen Xiang was the first one to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill, it would be good enough if he could refine one.
Hua Xiangyue walked over. Li Baojun had eight Five Elements True Essence Pills, three Foundation Building Pills, and five Bone Cleansing Pills. This was already pretty good, at least not many people in the mortal martial arts world could do that. Hua Xiangyue only thought that she was at most slightly stronger than Li Baojun.
Not long after Li Baojun finished refining the Bone Cleansing Pill, he opened his eyes. Hua Xiangyue hurried over and wiped the sweat off his face with a scented towel. She knew very well how hard it was to use the refining method to refine a pill that she had never refined before.
"Hehe, I'm not that far behind you!" Shen Xiang said.
"Not long after, judging from the first two kinds of pills, you have completely defeated me, but if you have very few Bone Cleansing Pills, you are still destined to lose! You must have at least three Bone Cleansing Pills to defeat me!" Li Baojun smiled faintly. He also knew the refining method. He knew very well that when using the refining method to refine unfamiliar pills, the number of pills produced would not be too many, because it was difficult to control.
Shen Xiang opened the furnace lid and took out six bone cleansing pills!
"Senior Li, please check it out!" Shen Xiang smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes. He felt very satisfied to be able to defeat a high-level alchemist like Li Baojun.
Li Baojun was completely dumbfounded when he saw the six pills emitting brown-red light floating out. He suspected that Shen Xiang had already refined the Bone Cleansing Pill, otherwise he would not have been able to produce so many pills for the first time.
Of course, he didn't know that when Shen Xiang was refining pills, he always did it with an attitude of not wasting anything, so no matter what the circumstances, he could make full use of the medicinal materials and produce the most pills.
Hua Xiangyue was only slightly surprised. She was no longer surprised by Chen Xiang. She smiled sweetly and said, "It seems that I don't need to take action."
Li Baojun sat down on the ground, looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling much older all of a sudden. He didn't expect that after immersing himself in the Dao of Alchemy for so many years, he ended up losing to a young boy, and lost so miserably, and completely lost to Shen Xiang.
Li Baojun took out the pills he had just refined and all the pills Shen Xiang had refined, handed them to Shen Xiang, and said: "Take it, you win! You have passed my test and can get this medicine garden. The medicine garden left by the master can have such a master, that is the best destination."
After Shen Xiang took it, he expressed his gratitude.
"Senior Li, what are your plans next? You have stayed here for too long, you should go out for a walk. Although the Three Realms War is about to begin, it is not a bad thing to go out and see the world." Shen Xiang said.
Li Baojun nodded and said, "I'll leave now. I've learned a lot from competing with you. Next time I meet you, I will definitely win back."
Li Baojun left. He left the underground medicine garden through a one-time teleportation formation.
