novelA Strange Situation
| ← Ch.0129 | Ch.0131 → |
"Ah?" Xiang Nan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Senior, I took the mission. Why didn't you let me use the pill room?"
Actually, he didn't need a pill room to refine pills. Xiang Nan already had a pill furnace, but the key was that he didn't have any corresponding spiritual herbs!
The old man waved his hand impatiently, "Gungun, scram, little bastard, come here and cause trouble. Even if you have a mission, you can't do it!"
Xiang Nan smiled bitterly, but he wasn't angry because powerful alchemists and artificers were different from ordinary people, and they also had strange temperaments that belonged to them.
"Please let me in."
"No way! Do you know how many sacrifices we made to collect the spiritual herbs from Zaohua Peak? How can we allow you to waste them?"
The old man obviously didn't trust Xiang Nan.
You 16-year-old brat, you actually want to refine the Essence Transformation Pill? Do you really treat our Zaohua Peak spiritual herbs like weeds?
Just as Xiang Nan was at a loss, the old man glanced at Xiang Nan again. After carefully examining him for a while, his tone softened slightly, "Are you Little Xu's disciple?"
Girl Xu was referring to Sun Peak Master Xu Caiyue.
"That girl isn't easy either. Listen to my advice. In order to refine the Essence Transformation Pill, you need at least two to three years of immersion in the pill refining process to have a success rate of 10 to 20%."
"It doesn't matter if you destroy our pill furnace spirit herbs. If the furnace explodes, then Xu girl's only disciple will be buried."
"Let's go."
Without waiting for Xiang Nan to reply, the old man waved his hand and a gentle breeze swept Xiang Nan away.
This wave of his hand actually sent Xiang Nan out of the Fortune Peak. After flying rapidly in the air for a long time, he slowly landed on the ground.
As soon as Xiang Nan steadied himself, his expression turned pale in shock!
Sun Peak! The seemingly inconspicuous old man waved his hand and sent him back to Sun Peak!
One must know that the five secluded peaks of the Haoran Sect were all majestic and magnificent, and they had already penetrated deep into the clouds at the mountainside! The distance between the slanted peaks was very frightening.
Xiang Nan had no choice but to find his master, Xu Caiyue, and ask her to plead for mercy.
"Let's go." After Xu Caiyue learned about this, she didn't even have a single extra word and flew to Zaohua Peak with Xiang Nan.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security. Although his master was usually quiet, she didn't say anything to him other than the Sun God Technique.
But when he really needed it, she was really willing to help! And so decisive.
She didn't even ask herself if he knew how to concoct pills.
Afterwards, the master and disciple arrived at Fortune Peak. The old man who was guarding the door immediately came out and said with a smile, "Caiyue girl is here."
Xu Caiyue said expressionlessly, "My disciple wants to refine pills. Give him a pill room."
"Sorry, I can't." The old man's temper was also very hard, and he actually rejected a great Peak Master on the spot!
Xu Caiyue nodded. She suddenly took a step forward and shouted, "Half an old man, come out!"
My god! This shout was like thunder exploding in the clear sky, causing the vast sea of clouds to dissipate. The loud voice caused the entire Zaohua Peak to tremble.
Xiang Nan felt dizzy and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xiang Nan covered his ears in shock. Fortunately, Xu Caiyue only wanted to shout, not hurt people. Otherwise, this voice would probably shake half of the Fortune Peak disciples to death!
This was the strength of a late Divine Martial Realm expert!
"You you, what are you doing?" In the distant sky, an old man with a stooped figure floated over on a large purple-gold gourd.
"Half an old man." Xu Caiyue said with a cold face, "My disciple wants to refine pills. Give him a pill room!"
"You want your only disciple to die? Exploding a furnace is no joke." Half a gourd lazily scratched his ears and glanced at Xiang Nan.
"Cut the crap!" Xu Caiyue said, "Do you want to give it or not? If you don't, I'll pull off a few of your beards."𝙛𝙧e𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗noν𝙚𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
"Tsk tsk, this temper is the same as your father's." Half a gourd waved his hand, and the large gourd beneath his feet instantly shrunk, landing in his hand.
"Let's go. I want to see how capable this good disciple of yours is. Old Li, open up a pill room. I want to see for myself."
After saying this, the old man reluctantly gave Xu Caiyue a waist token.
Xu Caiyue took the waist token and turned around to fly back to Sun Peak.
Half a gourd laughed and said, "Aren't you going to stay and collect your disciple's corpse?"
Xu Caiyue was in midair and turned around."Alchemy is his own request. If he were to explode to death, he would not be worthy of being my disciple."
With that, Xu Caiyue left.
What a personality! Xiang Nan no longer knew how to evaluate his master.
Inside a hot and dry pill room, half a gourd sat cross-legged at the door and said, "Spirit herbs and pill furnaces are all here. Let's begin."
This half-gourd also had quite a personality. Without even asking Xiang Nan if he knew the formula for the Essence Transformation Pill, he narrowed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xiang Nan took a deep breath and prepared dozens of spiritual herbs according to a certain proportion. Then, he opened the pill furnace and threw the ingredients into it.
This was the first time he refined it, and he was quite cautious. Xiang Nan only put in one pill.
After everything was prepared, the pill fire in the furnace burned.
A flash of lightning flashed through Xiang Nan's eyes, and he could clearly see the situation inside the pill furnace. No details could escape his observation.
Rising flames, condensing spiritual herbs, and interacting with each other. This was a very complicated process. What was considered was the alchemist's on-the-spot reaction to the fire, the timing, and the endless changes in the furnace.
Xiang Nan used his Half Yuan Qi to control the pill flame to an absolutely perfect level, not a bit more, not a bit less.
Half of the gourd beside him crossed his legs, not saying a word, and his eyes were tightly closed.
More than two hours had passed, and Xiang Nan's forehead was already covered in sweat, but his expression became more and more solemn.
Another hour passed, and suddenly, a bang came from inside the pill furnace! All the ingredients were destroyed.
"This ... this is impossible!" Xiang Nan's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had clearly controlled the timing of the fire to the most perfect degree, so why did he fail?
Xiang Nan was not convinced and continued to refine the second batch.
However, this time, three hours later, the pill refining failed! The entire furnace of spiritual herbs was destroyed.
Although he wasn't that bad at exploding furnaces, this failure was enough to kill him. If he failed five times, the mission would be over.
Xiang Nan anxiously wiped the sweat off his forehead. He thought to himself that he had been able to successfully refine a Tier 3 medicinal pill last time. Why couldn't he refine a Tier 2 Origin Transformation Pill no matter what? What was the problem?
At this moment, half of the gourd behind him actually started to snore.
"There must be something wrong." Xiang Nan frowned and walked back and forth in the pill room, constantly pondering over the crux of the matter.
