693 Truly Monstrous
Truly Monstrous
Lin Yao immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction. He didn’t dare to say anything and slowly retreated.
“Father, He Chuan is obviously messing around.” Lin Yu said unfairly when he saw this.
“Wait!” Lin Yao scolded in a low voice. He looked at the two people in the courtyard with fear. Seeing that they were no longer paying attention to him, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
He Chuan began to increase the fire and boil the Fire Essence Fruit.
Yao Qiankun’s expression had already recovered, but his brows were tightly knitted.
Even though he was an alchemist, he couldn’t understand the purpose of throwing the Fire Essence Fruit directly into the furnace.
However, he firmly believed that he was not acting casually. He must have his own reasons.
Just as the thought came to his mind, He Chuan opened his mouth to explain.
Alchemy Dao seemed to be a niche, but it was actually all-encompassing, containing the fate of all things in nature.
Every medicinal herb had thousands of ways to use it, and pill masters had their own ways of handling medicinal herbs.
Take this Fire Essence Fruit as an example. Because it contained fire essence, its fire energy was exuberant. Other than the fruit flesh, everything else was impurities.
Most pill masters would follow the normal steps of cleaning, tempering, removing the peel, and weakening the fire energy before putting it into the pill furnace. However, this was not the case.
Fire Essence Fruit could become the only main ingredient for refining Star Attracting Pill because its flesh contained a rich fire essence that could help a martial artist refine their meridians and open up their dantian.
The function of the peel was to protect the fire essence energy in the fruit from leaking out.
Removing the skin in advance would definitely lead to the leakage of fire essence.
Even if only a tenth of it leaked out, it would significantly weaken the medicinal effect after the pill was formed.
Therefore, even if he wanted to remove the skin, he couldn’t do it outside the pill furnace. He had to do it inside the furnace!
He waved his hand at the pill furnace, and the lid moved back slightly, revealing a gap. A scorching hot air rushed out.
He Chuan quickly waved his left hand and injected his spiritual energy into the furnace. Several wisps of black smoke filled the air.
Then, he threw the prepared herbs into the furnace. He was extremely careful throughout the entire process.
When the medicinal ingredients were all placed in, he immediately closed the lid of the furnace and began to carefully control the Pill Fire to maintain the temperature of the pill furnace as he refined.
Removing impurities in the furnace?
Yao Qiankun was stunned.
As the saying goes, outsiders watch the show, while professionals watch the tricks.
Although Yao Qiankun’s Pill Fire had turned into a beast, he was still a Pill Master who could refine pills and had great achievements in pill refining.
Not to mention anything else, just He Chuan’s method of removing the impurities from the hand furnace could be said to be perfect!
Yao Qiankun suddenly had an epiphany.
The spiritual energy that seemed to have been casually injected into the pill furnace was actually quite ingenious. The control of each wisp of spiritual energy was very precise. While not harming the fire essence energy, it also removed the ashes of the fruit skin.
Then, he took the opportunity to add in various medicinal herbs.
The fire essence energy had long been refined and fused, so there was naturally no need to worry about it leaking out.
The replenishment of the medicinal herbs could fill the gaps in the impurities that had been removed, allowing all the medicinal herbs to become one and fit together.
Wonderful!
He Chuan slowly extended his right hand, and the burning Pill Fire in his palm turned into a raging tongue of fire, directly drowning the entire pill furnace.
In an instant, white smoke billowed out, and the entire pill furnace seemed to have turned into a raging flame, burning up.
Yao Qiankun’s eyes widened instantly.
Flame Quenching Pill! It was the legendary Flame Quenching Pill!
Lin Yao was also dumbfounded. He stared at the furnace in disbelief.
Flame Quenching Pill was the rarest pill refining technique in the art of alchemy. It was similar to the cooking method of boiling the medicinal ingredients in a large fire. Not only could it allow the medicinal ingredients in the furnace to be heated evenly and fuse quickly.
Under the raging flames, the medicinal effects were completely stimulated, causing the medicinal effects of the refined pills to multiply.
However, to temper the pill with raging flames, the control and level of the Pill Fire were extremely high. If one was not careful, the pill furnace would be destroyed and explode.
Even orange level Spiritual Pill Masters were rarely able to do this.
He Chuan was only at red level, how could he have such a strong Pill Fire?
Moreover, wasn’t he afraid of blowing up the pill furnace?
Time slowly passed, but He Chuan’s expression remained indifferent.
Yao Qiankun, Lin Yao, and Lin Yu, on the other hand, looked nervous as they stared at the furnace with all their attention. Their palms were sweating.
Regardless of whether it was removing impurities in the furnace or the current Flame Quenching Pill, He Chuan’s pill refining methods were indeed profound.
It was unknown whether the pill could be refined successfully or not.
Who knew if He Chuan was deliberately mystifying or if he really had the ability?
At this moment, the pill furnace suddenly trembled, and a buzzing sound came from inside.
The raging flames around them faded away like a receding tide.
Lin Yao and his son looked at each other in surprise.
If the pill furnace did not explode, it meant that the pill refinement was successful!
Yao Qiankun couldn’t help but look forward to it. He couldn’t wait to see what would happen to the pill refined by the flames after the impurities were removed from the furnace.
“Looks like He Chuan has successfully refined a Star Attracting Pill!” Lin Yao pursed his dry lips and said.
Fire Essence Fruit was only the size of an egg. After removing the skin and impurities, the remaining essence was at most enough to refine three Star Attracting Pills.
Even if a Spiritual Pill Master were to make a move, they could only refine two pills at most!
He Chuan was already extremely lucky to be able to produce one pill with the help of the red level Pill Fire.
“Who said I only refined one? The furnace trembled. Other people might only produce one pill, but not me!” He Chuan suddenly glanced at Lin Yao and said indifferently.
“Young Master He’s pill refining skills are admirable!” Lin Yao subconsciously wanted to retort, but he instantly became respectful.
No matter what, He Chuan’s alchemy skills today could be said to be perfect, comparable to a Grandmaster Alchemist.
In front of such a master, Lin Yao had no choice but to bow and give in.
Even Spiritual Pill Master could only refine two pills at most, so He Chuan naturally could only refine a few.
One pill would kill him!
He Chuan couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense at this moment and directly lifted the furnace lid.
The round, fiery red pill shot out.
A rare smile appeared on Lin Yao’s ugly face.
He finally got it right for once!
“Fire essence is generally small. Even a top Spiritual Pill Master can only refine two at most. Young Master He can refine…” Lin Yao regained his confidence and smiled.
Suddenly, a fiery red pill flew out of the pill furnace.
Two?
He Chuan had actually refined two Star Attracting Pills?
Lin Yao couldn’t continue.
In his shock, another fiery red pill flew out of the pill furnace.
Three!
Lin Yao was dumbfounded.
Yao Qiankun and Lin Yu froze instantly!
Fire Essence Fruit did indeed have the weight to refine three Star Attracting Pills.
However, that was only possible for a high-level Spiritual Pill Master in perfect condition!
What was a perfect state?
It was something that could be done in the dream, but it was almost impossible in reality.
Even a top level Spiritual Pill Master couldn’t do it!
After all, in pill refinement, regardless of how superb the pill refiner’s pill refinement skills were, regardless of how fine the pill refiner’s control over the medicinal ingredients was, after putting them into the pill furnace, the refinement would eventually result in a loss of medicinal ingredients.
Even if it was only one-thousandth of the amount consumed, it was enough to cause the remaining medicinal ingredients to be unable to reach the estimated amount.
However, He Chuan managed to refine three Star Attracting Pill.
What did that mean?
This meant that He Chuan had not lost any of the medicinal herbs during the pill refinement process just now!
How was this possible?
Lin Yao was dumbfounded, and Lin Yu was stunned.
Yao Qiankun’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as his consciousness began to drift.
