《Monarch of Alchemy》10. Refining Pill

Advertisement

Yi Yun and Mei Mei visited Tang Xing pavilion in the morning. The latter had just returned from the hall building.

"Please come in," he invited them to his pavilion.

It was exactly the same as Yi Yun's pavilion, nothing particularly interesting. Tang Xing took them to his basement.

There were ten neatly arranged cauldrons, a pile of firewood, and a few pots with plants of a rather odd shape, most of them black.

Yi Yun was quite interested in one of them, he approached it, said, “This is the Black Earth Rose right, senior?”

"Oh, looks like you already know a lot."

"This is a rare flower, it can only grow underground, has three stages, the first stage can be the main ingredient of the Human Core Pill, which is said to be able to help break through to the Core Formation realm."

"You're right, unfortunately this can't even be considered a zero stage. Elder Lin gave me the seed, but cultivating it is quite difficult, I doubt it can reach the first stage."

Yi Yun was quite interested in taking over, but it wasn't something he could say right now, so he simply sighed as if lamenting the flower's fate.

Tang Xing walked to one of the cauldrons, with a wave of his hand, the firewood moved down the cauldron.

"First is to light a fire."

He took out a vial filled with black liquid.

A very strong smell of oil emanated when the bottle cap was opened.

Tang Xing spilled the oil on the firewood and took out a lighter.

The moment a small flame touched the firewood, enormous flames instantly surged, enveloping the cauldron until it was out of sight.

"It's very hot," said Mei Mei, a little surprised.

At the same time, a transparent energy radiated from Tang Xing's body, it enveloped the flames, causing their color to change slightly.

With Tang Xing's slight movement, the temperature of the flames immediately dropped.

"Second is to activate the cauldron," said Tang Xing again.

This time, he took out a Low Grade Spiritual Stone, he threw it into the cauldron.

It melted, its energy then fused with the cauldron so that it emitted light.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

Various kinds of plants appeared above the cauldron.

Two-Pronged Purple Grass and Yellow Flower Grass is one of them.

There was also a piece of heart with a ferocious aura.

They fell into the cauldron. A transparent colored spiritual energy then flowed from Tang Xing's hands following them, filling the cauldron so that they looked like soup.

"I'm going to make Tier One Food Pills, you guys must have learned the recipe, it's the easiest and quickest to make of all pills," Tang Xing said.

The flames heated up again, causing the cauldron to boil.

It lasted about ten minutes, then countless blades formed from Tang Xing's energy, they were so small they were almost invisible.

They cut the plants and the meat into very small pieces.

After that, about 90 percent of the pieces were thrown out of the cauldron.

Their color turned black, they also didn't emit any aura, some scattered to ashes.

They are unimportant parts in the ingredients.

As for the parts that were still inside the cauldron, their auras became stronger and their colors became brighter. They fused with Tang Xing's energy while it shrank as it condensed.

In about ten more minutes, it was cut into four pieces, each of which started to become like a pill. They were pea-sized and clear as glass with a fresh aura.

Tang Xing waved his hand, causing the flames to go out.

After that, he grabbed the four pills.

"At that time, I managed to make it on the third try, and now, with the same amount of ingredients, I can make four, I hope you guys can get better."

In pill refining, the amount of ingredients written by the recipe is basically to make one pill, this is based on normal standards.

However, some people had better abilities so they could make more pills with the same amount of ingredients.

Tang Xing could make four, but that, of course, couldn't be considered that he had any better abilities. It was simply because his cultivation was already high enough while Tier One Food Pills were basically something for a Low Tier Houtian.

Yi Yun and Mei Mei prepared their cauldrons, then they arranged firewood under the cauldrons and spilled oil on them.

"Start," Tang Xing said as he took out the ingredients as before.

Yi Yun did not hesitate as he lit the flames, he quickly controlled the temperature of the flames with his spiritual energy.

Here it is still quite easy because the temperature required is quite simple, even Mei Mei can do well.

Simultaneously, they put the ingredients Tang Xing prepared into their cauldrons.

The process starts immediately.

Yi Yun couldn't say it was difficult, but it wasn't easy either, he had to concentrate completely, unlike the previous Tang Xing who seemed unencumbered.

Even so, he was confident that he would succeed on this first try.

It was even more likely to have a better result where he could produce two pills.

'I don't need to fail, but one pill is enough, then, I'll be considered talented but not too much,' he thought.

Hiding talent would only limit his movements, but being too flashy wasn't good either. He thought he would show his talent slowly as his strength increased so that people could accept it easily and think that he worked hard for it.

*bang*

Suddenly, the ingredients in Mei Mei's cauldron exploded, causing a small shockwave to blow through her hair.

Tang Xing seemed to have guessed that, he immediately prepared new ingredients.

"More focus," he said.

Yi Yun was not bothered by Mei Mei's failure, he had already started chopping up the ingredients in his cauldron.

Seconds passed, every process went smoothly though not as fast as Tang Xing.

The latter nodded every time he looked at his cauldron.

Now is the process of combining all the ingredients, this is the most difficult because he also needs to adjust the temperature of the fire to match the conditions of the ingredients.

At the same time, Mei Mei failed again, she finally stopped for a while to watch Yi Yun.

After about 20 minutes, Yi Yun's spiritual energy finally fused completely with the ingredients, it began to shrink, forming a pill.

“Success, seems like what Senior Luo said is correct,” Tang Xing said in a low voice.

Yi Yun took the pill he refined after it was fully formed.

He observed it closely, it was no different from the pills Tang Xing had made.

“Congratulations, Junior Yi, you can now call yourself an Alchemist,” said Tang Xing.

Mei Mei had a bit of a hard time reacting, but in the end she also congratulated him.

"Let me see," Tang Xing added.

Yi Yun handed the pill to him, he began to observe it and nodded in satisfaction. "Quality is completely what the recipe dictates. Come on, do it again."

Yi Yun nodded, he started again.

Mei Mei also started again, this time, she succeeded, perhaps motivated by it.

After refining the pills five times, only then did Tang Xing tell Yi Yun and Mei Mei to stop.

They were also tired enough that their clothes were a mess.

"Tomorrow, we will refine the Awakening Pill, it's a bit more difficult, so you guys should prepare well, take this."

Tang Xing then gave Yi Yun and Mei Mei five Low Grade Spiritual Stones each while he took all the pills they refined to hand over to the sect.
