After hearing Shen Xiang's words, everyone felt that it made sense and nodded secretly.
Shen Xiang said again: "Boss Niu, has your disciple devoted himself to learning how to refine Yaogedan over the years? Perhaps he is only better than Boss Lu's disciple in Yaogedan, but weaker in other aspects? So I don't think it's worthwhile to just compete in refining this kind of pill."
Yu Yan patted Shen Xiang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Well said! Lao Niu, your apprentice specializes in fighting with his feet, while we use fists. Your rules are only about fighting with feet, so it's normal that we can't beat you."
Lu Ying also nodded and said, "Not bad!"
They lost, so they needed to save face. Although everyone thought they were making excuses, they also felt that it made sense. The competition just now could not reflect the true strength of an alchemist.
Chu Hongqing giggled and said, "Little brother, you may not know that many alchemists can only refine two pills of this Yaogedan! Boss Lu's apprentice can refine three pills, because he has been studying this kind of pill for many years. And Boss Niu's apprentice also specializes in Yaogedan, so this competition can reflect their strengths."
No matter how you look at it, you can tell that this woman is speaking for Niu Hao. Shen Xiang doesn't know whether Chu Hongqing is deliberately provoking Lu Ying or because she has a good relationship with Niu Hao.
"If I can refine five or six pills, wouldn't he lose even more miserably?" Shen Xiang responded. He felt that it would be no problem for him to refine Yaogedan, although he had never refined it before.
"Haha…" Niu Hao burst into laughter: "The young man is so arrogant. Everyone should understand him and stop making fun of him!"
Chu Hongqing chuckled, "Boss Lu beside you can't guarantee that he can refine five or six pills. Not to mention them, even the Fire Master of our Fire Master Sect can't do that! Little guy, you just came out of the mountains, you have to gain more experience in the future, don't always follow those bastards around drinking and hurt yourself."
Yu Yan snorted immediately, Chu Hongqing was talking about him.
"What if I can refine it?" Shen Xiang was very confident in himself. It was very easy for him to refine the Skeleton Divine Pill and the Nine Bone Divine Pill. If he combined the two, it would not be difficult at all.
Niu Hao smiled and said, "The Fire Goddess is right. She is also an alchemist, and her strength is not inferior to mine. If we talk about seniority, we all have to call her Grandmaster!"
Shen Xiang didn't expect that the status of this Fire Goddess was so high!
"Boss Niu, please don't call me old!" Chu Hongqing said with a sweet smile, "That's it for today. I hope Boss Lu can abide by the rules."
Shen Xiang curled his lips: "You haven't answered my question yet. I just asked you, if I can refine five or six Yaoge Pills, what will you do?"
Yu Yan didn't know if Shen Xiang had drunk too much before, but he was still pestering him. However, he didn't say anything, just patted Shen Xiang on the shoulder.
"If you can really refine it, it means you are more powerful than the Fire Master of our Fire Master Sect. If you can really refine it, I will be your maid and stay by your side to serve you," Chu Hongqing giggled.
"Haha..." Niu Hao laughed and said, "If you succeed, I, Old Niu, will take you as my master! But if you can't, how about coming to my shop to do odd jobs for ten thousand years?"
Without saying a word, Shen Xiang took out a batch of medicinal materials for the Bone Divine Pill. According to the standards of his previous era, this was considered a top-grade medicinal material, because during the competition just now, top-grade medicinal materials were also used in the refining process.
And in this era, it is just a medicinal ingredient for Tiandan!
"Are you serious?" Chu Hongqing put away her smile.
"Fire Goddess, just don't break your promise!" After Shen Xiang finished speaking, he said to Lu Ying: "Boss Lu, lend me two of those fruits. I only need those two now."
Lu Ying was also stunned, but he still took out two fruits. He also wanted to see if Shen Xiang really knew how to make pills.
"Brother, can you really make pills? Did you buy these medicinal materials in your hand with the one thousand jade coins I gave you before?" Yu Yan asked. Shen Xiang had asked him many things about alchemy before, and it seemed that he knew nothing about alchemy. But now, after only a few days, he actually knew how to make pills.
"Brother Yu, just watch." Shen Xiang took the herbs handed over by Lu Ying, and then said to Chu Hongqing and Niu Hao: "Two seniors, I am challenging you now, you shouldn't refuse, right? You made a bet with me just now, if you don't agree to compete with me, wouldn't you be lying?"
Chu Hongqing walked to Chen Xiang, circled around him, moved her cute nose, and said: "You don't smell of alcohol, you probably haven't drunk any alcohol, but you don't look sober at all now!"
"Why are you all so long-winded? Won't you know after a comparison? You will soon know whether I am awake or mentally ill." Shen Xiang smiled faintly.
The onlookers were always surprised by Shen Xiang's words. They also wanted to see Shen Xiang lose. Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous.
"Let's compare. Refining a furnace of pills and getting a free errand for ten thousand years is well worth it." Niu Hao rolled up his sleeves and took out the furnace and medicinal materials.
"If you lose, I just want you to take off all your clothes and run around the outer gate." Chu Hongqing smiled mischievously and took out a small green jade alchemy furnace.
"Where's your alchemy furnace?" Chu Hongqing said with a grin, "You don't have your alchemy furnace, do you?"
"To refine this kind of broken pill, there is no need for a pill furnace." Shen Xiang said arrogantly, looking like he deserved a beating, but others just thought he was crazy.
Shen Xiang cannot use the Creation Furnace. Although he has a Nine Heavens Furnace, he feels that the Nine Heavens Furnace is related to this era, so he does not intend to use it.
As for using other inferior alchemy furnaces, he felt that it would be safer to use the magic furnace directly.
"How to refine it without a furnace?" Lu Ying's disciple asked with a frown.
"It can be refined without an alchemy furnace, but it requires a very high level of skill." Lu Ying said. He didn't know why, but he felt that Shen Xiang didn't seem to be crazy.
"Boss Niu, let's just practice our own skills and ignore him for now." Chu Hongqing said, and then became serious.
"Start!" Lu Ying shouted.
As soon as the start was called, Niu Hao and Chu Hongqing started immediately, while Shen Xiang immediately used the Dao Heart Eye to observe the inside of their alchemy furnace.
"Another different refining method! After Chu Hongqing put the herbs into the alchemy furnace, she actually froze them all with ice, and then broke them up... Her ice was also quite special. After breaking it up, she used flames to melt it, and the frozen herbs were not damaged at all."
"Niu Hao's refining method is the same as his apprentice's. They both use a special force to wrap the medicinal materials before refining them."
Shen Xiang observed carefully for a short moment, then released the magic furnace, threw all the herbs into it, and used his own method to refine the Yaogedan.
