Chapter 124 - Alchemy

Hai Bodong led Xiao Ling into the Miteer family's treasure house. He raised his hand and said with a smile, "Master Xiao Ling, this is where the Miteer family's most precious treasures are. You can take whatever you like as a reward for refining the Spiritual-Restoring Purple Pill this time."  

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then released his soul perception and began to investigate one by one.

Indeed, as the richest family in the Jia Ma Empire, although the Miteer family's wealth is not as strong as that of the royal family, it has a wide variety of rare materials. Even the medicinal materials for refining the Imperial Pill can be pieced together into two sets.

Although Hai Bodong generously let Xiao Ling choose freely, Xiao Ling did not want to be greedy and only picked out some high-quality medicinal herbs.

After selecting the rewards, Hai Bodong handed Xiao Ling a storage ring and said, "Master Xiao Ling, this storage ring contains three medicinal materials for the Spiritual-Restoring Purple Pill. Although the pill is not of a very high grade, its medicinal materials are indeed hard to find. The three Reincarnation Grasses were snatched by me from several fifth-level monsters when I went out."

"Haha, although it is quite difficult to find medicinal materials, the rewards after taking the pills are also quite considerable."

Xiao Ling reached out to take the ring, released a wisp of soul power, and began to explore the situation inside. After confirming that the quantity of medicinal materials was sufficient, he nodded slightly.

"Haha, Master Xiao Ling is absolutely right. I wonder if we can refine this Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill right now?" Hai Bodong rubbed his hands and looked at Xiao Ling hopefully.

It was really helpless. It was extremely difficult to recover the cultivation level that had been reduced due to being sealed for a long time. If there was no help from the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill, I would probably have to spend more than ten years to cultivate to the Five Stars of Dou Huang again.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, nodded to Hai Bodong, and said, "Mr. Hai, please relax. I will refine this Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill for you later. This is not the first time we have worked together. Do you still not trust my efficiency?"

After a brief pause, Xiao Ling continued, "As for the alchemists of your family, if they want to watch me refine the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill, as long as they don't interfere with my refining, I have no objection."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong's smile became even brighter, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, Master Xiao Ling, I have already arranged the alchemy room for you, please follow me."

After saying that, Hai Bodong took Xiao Ling into a spacious hall.

Inside the hall, all kinds of alchemy instruments were arranged in an orderly manner. Xiao Ling nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then began to prepare to refine the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill.

Upon learning that Xiao Ling was about to start refining the pill, several alchemists from the Miteer family came to the scene.

If a sixth-rank alchemist could learn some skills from refining pills himself, it would definitely be of great benefit to these alchemists who are only fourth-rank at most.

Xiao Ling took a quick glance and found that most of these people were in their twilight years, except for one middle-aged man, the old man he met at the Alchemist Guild Exchange last time.

After seeing Xiao Ling, everyone bowed and saluted to show their respect. Although Xiao Ling was young, in the field of alchemy, the most accomplished ones come first, and Xiao Ling deserves the respect of these people.

Xiao Ling smiled and nodded to everyone, indicating that they did not need to be so polite. His eyes swept over these alchemists, his expression calm and composed.

Hai Bodong smiled and said, "Master Xiao Ling, please get ready first. I will ask them to watch quietly on the side and will not disturb you."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and then walked to the center of the hall.

After moving the prepared medicine cauldron aside, Xiao Ling flicked his finger, and a pure black medicine cauldron as big as a table suddenly appeared. This black medicine cauldron was quite large, and there was a faint calm aura around it. On the surface of the medicine cauldron, there were lifelike flame totems painted. When the medicine cauldron slowly rotated, these flame totems seemed to be real objects. Indistinctly, a faint flame energy was condensing around the medicine cauldron.

This is the Black Demon Cauldron that Yao Chen lent to Xiao Ling for use.

With a light touch of the storage ring in his hand, a portion of medicinal materials for the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill fell onto the table beside him.

When everything was ready, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, waved his hands, and the Heavenly Flame instantly burned fiercely under the alchemy furnace.

Xiao Ling methodically put the herbs into the furnace one by one. His movements were skillful and precise, and each step seemed to have been tempered a thousand times.

Those alchemists held their breath and stared closely at Xiao Ling's every move, afraid of missing even a single move.

As the alchemy process progressed, the medicinal aroma emanating from the furnace became stronger and stronger. Xiao Ling's expression remained calm and every step was executed to perfection.

With Xiao Ling's current attainments in alchemy, refining this fifth-grade Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill can be done with ease and without any pressure.

After an unknown amount of time, the alchemy furnace suddenly glowed brightly. Xiao Ling shouted softly, quickly formed seals with both hands, and slammed the alchemy furnace. A bright purple pill of rejuvenation flew out of the furnace. Xiao Ling waved his hand and the pill fell steadily into the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago.

"It's done!" Xiao Ling let out a long sigh and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Hai Bodong stepped forward quickly, his eyes full of surprise: "Master Xiao Ling, your skills are truly amazing!" The surrounding alchemists also exclaimed in admiration.

Xiao Ling handed the pill to Hai Bodong and said, "Mr. Hai, I am glad to have fulfilled my mission. I hope this pill can help you recover your strength soon."

Hai Bodong thanked him repeatedly: "Master Xiao Ling, my Miteer family will remember this kindness in our hearts."

Xiao Ling waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Hai, you are too kind. We are helping each other."

Hai Bodong carefully took the jade bottle and put it away as if it were a treasure. At this time, the alchemists gathered around him, their eyes full of admiration for Xiao Ling and their desire to learn alchemy.

The old man who had met at the Alchemist Guild Exchange earlier said respectfully, "Master Xiao Ling, your alchemy skills and control of the temperature are truly exquisite and unparalleled. Could you give me some pointers?"

Xiao Ling looked at the eager eyes of the crowd, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "Since you are so interested, I will briefly explain a few words. The key to alchemy is the familiarity with the characteristics of the medicinal materials and the precise control of the flame. Each medicinal material has unique properties, and the time, order and amount of input are all crucial. The temperature and intensity of the flame need to be adjusted according to different stages..."

After the explanation, Xiao Ling said: "The way of alchemy is to focus on practice and understanding. I hope you can make a breakthrough in your future practice."

Everyone expressed their gratitude to Xiao Ling again, and then dispersed one after another, each immersed in their recent gains.
