Chapter 208: Gathering Strength

Yao Xun walked into his thatched hut with leisurely steps and leaned lazily on the chair, as if he fell asleep quickly. At this time, Zuo Feng had just been scolded by him. Although his words were merciless, Zuo Feng was not dissatisfied at all.

Different from the two people joking and bickering, Zuo Feng is also a sensible person, and naturally understands that the old man's words are for his own good. At this time, Zuo Feng had fallen into deep reflection. As the old man said, he was indeed a little overconfident, but this confidence was also based on the fact that his vision had always been limited.

He grew up in the mountains since he was a child. At first, he only learned the method of mixing medicine from Zhuang Yu. At that time, he had never actually opened a furnace to refine medicine powder. Later, when he learned the method of refining medicine, he also formed his own refining method bit by bit through some books and his own exploration.

But the method of refining medicine is extensive and profound. Before he saw Yaoxun refining medicine, he had no idea where he was lacking. Now that he has seen the old man's method of refining medicine, the old man's words have deeply awakened Zuo Feng, making him realize that he still has a long way to go if he wants to become a true medicine refining master.

Zuo Feng no longer paid attention to Yaoxun, but focused on the medicine stove in front of him. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the wall of the medicine stove. Suddenly Zuo Feng picked up the medicine stove with a focused gaze, as if he noticed something extremely important.

Yaoxun, who seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, also noticed Zuo Feng's movements, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. Zuo Feng raised the medicine furnace to his eyes and took a closer look. At this time, the temperature of the medicine furnace was slowly dropping, but Zuo Feng could still feel that the temperature of the furnace was not evenly distributed, or that it was different from the temperature when he was making medicine. .

When Zuo Feng was refining medicine, he always only paid attention to the temperature changes during extraction, refining and fusion, but never paid attention to the temperature of the medicine furnace. At this time, Yaoxun had just used the medicine furnace. Regardless of the fact that the heat of the furnace itself lasted longer than when he was refining medicine, the temperature of the furnace showed a decreasing trend from top to bottom.

This discovery made Zuo Feng understand a link that he had not noticed when refining the medicine, which was that after he used spiritual energy to stimulate the fire energy in the flame crystal, the flames started to weaken from the strongest at the bottom to the top. Looking at the medicine furnace in front of him, Zuo Feng immediately thought of a problem. When he was refining the medicine, most of the fire energy was wasted at the bottom and was not involved in refining the medicine.

In the process of refining the medicine, Yaoxun completely concentrated the fire energy from the middle to the top of the medicine furnace. Zuo Feng could imagine that if two people were given flame crystals of the same size and quality, the other party would definitely refine a lot more medicine powder than he could.

Zuo Feng's greatest advantage is not his talent and intelligence, but his ability to listen to anyone's advice with an open mind, even if it is from his enemies, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will choose to accept it. Yao Xun had just scolded himself, but it did not make Zuo Feng feel any resistance. Instead, he immediately adjusted his mentality and changed his overly conceited temperament.

Just now Yao Xun also knew what Zuo Feng was doing, so he looked happy. He was also worried that he would not leave any room in his words in order to let Zuo Feng remember his reminder, but now it seemed that his worries were obviously unnecessary.

Zuo Feng looked at the medicine stove for a long time and then gently put it down. Then he closed his eyes again, and the step-by-step process of Yaoxun's refining of the medicine emerged. He tried hard to recall all the details of Yao Xun's refining of the medicine. After about half an hour passed, Zuo Feng slowly opened his eyes and looked firmly at the medicine stove in front of him.

He stretched out his hand and tapped the medicine furnace gently. The residue from the last refining of the medicine and the jet-black flame crystal debris were sprayed out from the top and bottom of the furnace respectively. Zuo Feng stretched out his hand without hesitation, and a flame crystal flew into the medicine furnace. He didn't have Yaoxun's magical ignition skills, so he could only send out his spiritual power to ignite the flame crystal.

What was different from before was that this time Zuo Feng deliberately used his spiritual power to control the flames to go upwards, and finally hovered in the middle and upper part of the medicine furnace. Zuo Feng was surprised to find that the medicine stove was preheating much faster than before, which made Zuo Feng more certain of his previous guess.

Next, Zuo Feng did not throw the medicinal materials into the medicine furnace like the old man did. Instead, he put one medicinal plant into the medicine furnace step by step. He did not throw in the second medicinal plant until it was almost refined. Although the refining process is slower than Yaoxun's, it is also much faster than Zuo Feng's previous refining.

After all, Zuo Feng had tried to refine this Gathering Powder before, so it was extremely smooth to the last step. Zuo Feng followed Yao Xun's example this time, carefully mobilizing his spiritual power to wrap the refined medicinal liquid inside, and then let the flames heat it continuously.

During the fusion process, Zuo Feng found that his mind seemed to have entered the medicine furnace, as if the spiritual energy was like a part of his body, allowing him to clearly feel the changes in the medicine liquid during the fusion. It wasn't until this moment that Zuo Feng understood why the old man used his spiritual power to nourish those medicinal liquids in this way.

Because in high temperatures, spiritual energy will become extremely active, and the medicinal liquid will absorb the spiritual energy more easily. Zuo Feng's entire mind was immersed in refining the medicine at this time. He didn't even notice some special changes in his body at this time, because his spiritual energy was fluctuating erratically at this time.

Yao Xun, who had been sleeping peacefully before, suddenly sat up, stared at Zuo Feng with disbelief, and opened his mouth unconsciously.

"This little guy is really surprising. It's no wonder that he made such a big splash in Ye Lin and was able to advance in refining medicine. When I just explored his body, it seemed that he had the power of Nahai. There is a high-level elixir inside that I can’t even name. It seems like he has a lot of secrets.”

The old man was talking to himself, but did not make any other moves, and the old man did not seem to be worried at all about Zuo Feng advancing here. Not long after, the old man was shocked to find that Zuo Feng's body trembled slightly, and then the waves in his body slowly subsided.

"Is the advancement over? This kid broke through to the third level of the bone refining stage in just a few breaths. He is really a freak. It seems that my choice this time should be correct, but I have to pay more attention and observe more. "

Zuo Feng didn't notice any changes in himself. His mind was completely focused on the medicine furnace at this time. The promotion just made him feel that the spiritual energy was a little difficult to control.

Soon the medicinal liquids were completely integrated, and the original dozens of drops of pure medicinal liquid turned into a drop of medicinal liquid the size of an apricot kernel, and there were crystals in the medicinal liquid that began to condense.

Seeing this, Zuo Feng was about to slowly take out the medicine liquid from the medicine furnace. However, Yao Xun was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said loudly: "Don't take it out. Complete the fusion of medicine powder."

This voice seemed to have some special power, and it actually passed directly through Zuo Feng's ears and into his brain. Zuo Feng, who was about to take out the liquid medicine, hurriedly stopped what he was doing after hearing the familiar voice of Yao Xun, and continued to control the flame with some confusion.

At this moment when Zuo Feng was stunned, more and more crystals were contained in the medicinal solution. Yao Xun looked at it with flickering eyes for a while before whispering two words, "Get the medicine."

Zuo Feng did not dare to hesitate, but sent another stream of spiritual energy to completely push out the liquid, and then gently caught the liquid with a jade bottle. At this time, most of the medicinal liquid is granular crystals. When the medicinal powder wrapped in spiritual energy enters the jade bottle, the spiritual power outside still carries hot fire energy.

Zuo Feng stared at the changes in the jade bottle with unblinking eyes. The last bit of liquid in the spiritual energy began to gradually turn into transparent granular crystals. Then Zuo Feng also felt the temperature of the jade bottle in his hand slowly drop, and eventually all the medicinal powder turned into granular crystals.

Zuo Feng didn't react until now. He couldn't help but subconsciously look back into the hut and saw the old man named Yaoxun looking at him with a half-smile. He knew that if it hadn't been for the two reminders from the old man just now, although his refining of the medicine would have been successful this time, the quality would undoubtedly have been inferior.

Turning his attention to the jade bottle in his hand again, Zuo Feng shook it gently, and the medicinal powder in it was rolling like transparent grains of sand. With a thought in his mind, Zuo Feng poured some of the medicine into his palm, carefully brought it to his mouth, and swallowed it with a roll of his tongue.

A very contradictory feeling arose in Zuo Feng's abdomen. The medicinal powder entered his abdomen along with his saliva, and everywhere he passed there was a warm feeling of freshly prepared medicinal powder. But the power of the medicine made Zuo Feng feel a little warm and cool, and then these warm and cool feelings spread to his limbs and bones.

Then Zuo Feng felt that his power was constantly increasing, and he seemed to have the urge to vent his anger by fighting with others. Zuo Feng stood up and tried punching and kicking. The dull sonic boom made Zuo Feng a little stunned, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

‘No wonder it’s called the Juli Powder, and it actually condenses so many sources of power. I’m afraid that my current pure physical strength is already comparable to that of warriors in the late stage of bone refining or even the early stage of tendon tempering. I am afraid that only medicine powders with such potency can be called top-level existences among medicine powders. ’

While Zuo Feng was feeling the effect of the Juli Powder with joy on his face, Yaoxun inside the hut laughed and took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "Why don't you try it, I just made it." That bottle of Julisan?”

After the old man finished speaking, Zuo Feng's expression was slightly startled, and then he turned to look at the other jade bottle, which contained the medicinal powder that the old man had refined previously as a demonstration.

After a slight hesitation, Zuo Feng reached out and grabbed the jade bottle in his hand. At this time, the jade bottle still felt warm. Gently pulling the cork off the bottle, a warm spiritual power spurted out from it, making Zuo Feng's hand holding the jade bottle tremble slightly.
