15. Chapter 15: Top-grade elixir
Chapter 15 Top-grade elixir
The blazing flames soon roasted the elixir furnace red, and wisps of green smoke began to emerge from it.
When the bottom of the elixir furnace was completely red, Chen Xiao grabbed a herb and threw it directly into the elixir furnace.
The herb was instantly wrapped in a ball of flames when it entered the furnace. Under the scorching high temperature, the herb immediately began to soften and was about to be dried and burned.
But at this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly made a strange hand gesture with both hands, and then the flame in the elixir furnace changed strangely. The flame near the herb suddenly dropped, and finally maintained a constant temperature, slowly roasting the herb, evaporating the liquid inside a little by little.
The first herb was done, followed by the second and third ones!
It was not until the third herb was almost processed by Chen Xiao that the people watching nearby realized that the alchemy skills displayed by Chen Xiao were completely different from what they knew!
"Elixir, he actually used the fire control elixir!" A two-star alchemist stood up in shock.
Others beside him were not much better than him, and everyone's eyes widened!
Dan Jue, that is an extremely precious thing, which requires the powerful soul power of the alchemist to control the flame of the alchemy furnace, so as to achieve the steps of rapid purification and condensation of the pill.
But even some of the most common Dan Jue are very expensive, far beyond the reach of these two-star alchemists in remote small towns!
Now, I didn't expect that Chen Xiao would get an extremely precious Dan Jue as soon as he made a move!
"It's really worthy of a master from the Dongxun Empire, who even has something like Dan Jue!" A two-star alchemist looked at Chen Xiao with envy on his face.
"Look at him, his purification method is different from ours. Look at the medicinal residues he just extracted, they are almost black-brown!" Another two-star alchemist's eyes fell on the pottery jar next to Chen Xiao.
Black-brown, this means that the medicinal power in the medicinal materials is almost exhausted, and it will appear in this color. If it is the previous method of frying the pill, it is impossible to purify the medicinal residue to black-brown!
"Do you think he can really refine the third-grade Huiyang Pill?" An alchemist was a little uncertain.
"There should be no chance. Although this step looks simple, even if it is simpler, his soul power is not enough to support the completion of the pill refining!" Master He spoke again, his tone was determined.
Hearing this, many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if Chen Xiao really refines Huiyang Pill, each of them will have to pay a lot of gold coins.
Only Lu Feng had a trace of entanglement on his face. He hoped that Chen Xiao could refine Huiyang Pill the most. If he couldn't refine it, he would be in big trouble!
Chen Xiao didn't know what everyone thought, and he didn't want to guess what others thought.
At this moment, his forehead was full of cold sweat.
At this moment, he also realized that he was too arrogant.
It's not that he can't refine pills. With his experience in his previous life, let alone the third-grade Huiyang Pill, even the ninth-grade spiritual pill can be easily refined, but now this body is just a four-star martial artist. There is only a trace of true energy in his body, and it is very difficult to use it to control fire.
After purifying all the more than 20 medicinal materials, Chen Xiao was already somewhat exhausted. It was impossible for him to continue to refine the elixir with the help of the elixir formula. If he continued to force himself, he would definitely fall into a coma.
But now, Chen Xiao must win this gamble, even if it is for the hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
Glancing at the spatula that had just been thrown aside, Chen Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he still picked it up.
The alchemists nearby saw Chen Xiao pick up the spatula and start to stir the liquid medicine, and their mouths twitched, but they didn't say anything.
Instead, the shock in their hearts was slightly reduced. If Chen Xiao really refined the elixir in one breath, it would be really strange.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The fragrance of the medicine began to gradually spread in the small alchemy room, and in the end it was almost too strong to dissolve.
Chen Xiao's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, but he didn't care at all, because it was now the final stage of condensing the elixir!
Chen Xiao threw away the spatula again and directly put his hands into the furnace. He pinched out the pills one by one and started to flip the almost solidified pills with his hands.
…
"Get up!"
A low shout sounded, and Chen Xiao slapped the furnace. A series of black shadows flew out and were caught by the tray held by Chen Xiao who had been prepared.
"Did it really work?" Looking at the pills on the tray in Chen Xiao's hand that were still emitting heat, everyone couldn't sit still and gathered around.
Especially Master He and Lu Feng, they directly squeezed through the crowd and picked up a pill each to examine it carefully.
"Yes, it is indeed a third-grade pill, and the medicinal power inside is very strong. It should be at least a top-grade pill!" Master He pinched a little pill with his hand and put it in his mouth, nodding and commenting.
"How is this possible? A child of fifteen or sixteen is a third-grade pill master? This is too crazy, right?" An alchemist looked at Chen Xiao and muttered to himself, his words full of disbelief.
"Although I also find it hard to believe, it seems to be true!" Master He spoke again, with a bitter smile on his face.
"Master Lu, this elixir was made for you, why don't you try it? If there is really no problem, we will lose. If there is a problem, you, Chen Xiao, will lose!" Master He's eyes fell on Lu Feng.
Hearing this, Lu Feng was stunned, and then his eyes fell on Chen Xiao.
When Chen Xiao nodded slightly, he seemed to have made a difficult decision, and swallowed the Huiyang Pill directly, then sat cross-legged aside, and began to refine the medicinal power silently.
The remaining five alchemists on the side looked at the remaining five pills, and from time to time looked at Chen Xiao and Lu Feng who was refining the pills, and the shock in their eyes was still hard to erase.
At this moment, they could only pray in their hearts, praying that the pills refined by Chen Xiao would not have any effect.
Otherwise, they would lose face today.
Time passed in the tension of everyone.
Chen Xiao was also the calmest among the crowd. He found a seat and sat down. Only the occasional look at Lu Feng revealed Chen Xiao's heart.
"Haha, hahaha!"
A burst of laughter suddenly sounded, and then everyone saw Lu Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up.
Looking at Lu Feng's laughing face, we know what the result is. Although the alchemists are in disbelief, they still have to accept this fact!
"Friend Chen Xiao, I will never forget this favor. If you need my help in the future, you can come to me directly!" Lu Feng's face was full of excitement.
The injuries that troubled him for a long time were finally relieved after taking the Huiyang Pill just now!
Not only that, his body is now slightly stronger than before the injury!
