Chapter 290: Black Flame Alchemy

Chapter 290: Black Flame Alchemy

Ling Xiao had already determined that these materials had been soaked in a special spring water, so ordinary flame absolutely couldnt evaporate it.

Without first evaporating the water, the pills wouldnt take form.

What should he do now?

The solution was very simple: he needed divine flames.

No, it didnt have to be the divine flames. Any flames better than an ordinary flame would be enough.

Thats it!

A bright light flashed through his mind. 

Thus, he started to ignite a fire.

Since the materials had a problem, he had to do his best to complete the other steps perfectly. He absolutely must not panic.

Meanwhile, Qingmu had already entered the fire control stage. One could even smell a faint herb fragrance that gradually spread as he heated his pills. 

Ling Xiao turned his head to take a look. Under Qingmus control, the Slow Intense Sacred Fire was like an obedient slave. 

Merely, for some reason, Ling Xiao seemed to hear an unwilling howl.

Illusion.

Shaking his head, he focused on his own alchemy furnace.

He first selected his materials, made some new raw pills, and then ignited a fire.

Igniting a fire sounded simple, but it was not like that. Each pill required a different flame size and temperature. Moreover, some high-quality pills had even more requirements.

Originally, Top Grade True Essence Pill hadnt had a high requirement for its flames. However, after the materials were soaked in special spring water, special flames were needed to resolve the issue.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, put a special spirit charcoal into the alchemy furnace, and ignited it.

At this moment, the fire burning the spirit charcoal was still an ordinary one.

No one noticed when Ling Xiao quietly placed his hand on the furnace before sending out a black flame from his palm.

This flame was the product of the fierce beasts true essence that he had absorbed before.

At that time, in the battle of Hollow Cloud City, that wolf-shaped fierce beast had produced this kind of black flame.

Although this flame was inferior to a divine flame, it was of much higher-grade than an ordinary flame.

Higher-grade flames were naturally not easy to control.

However, this was not a problem for Ling Xiao.

The ignition was successful. The next step was the most important part of the entire alchemy process: fire control!

Ling Xiao entered the Enter Soul State, so he could control all the inside and outside changes of the alchemy furnace, including the input of the fierce beasts true essence, with perfect calculations.

<Fire Control Technique> required true essence to control and affect the flame, which almost all alchemists and apothecaries could do.

However, it should be explained that refining medicine was much easier than refining pills. Refining medicine was basic, so Ling Xiao could easily study the theory and skip the rest.

He was now directly learning pill refining.

These two were the same in principle, but alchemy was more profound and more useful to martial artists.

An apothecary generally required a minimum cultivation base of Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein, whereas an alchemist had much higher requirements. Generally speaking, only those with a cultivation base of Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein could even start.

Naturally, Ling Xiao was a special case.

Under his control, the flame was initially fierce because he had to evaporate the water on the raw pills.

After about ten breaths, the flame gradually declined. At this moment, it needed a slow flame. Otherwise, the raw pills would be completely scorched.

After the special spring water had completely evaporated, Ling Xiao retrieved the fierce beasts true essence, and the black flame immediately disappeared.

For the remaining steps, there would be no problems with a simple ordinary flame.

Lan girl, did you notice?

Yang Danlins face showed an unconcealable happiness.

What? Lan Yuers insight was still inferior to the experienced Yang Danlins.

Hahaha, Lan girl, you have to train your eyesight. Ling Xiao, this kid, was actually hiding such a secret! This time, Qingmu and Hei Suo will definitely suffer a loss.

Although Yang Danlin wanted to laugh, the alchemy process had not ended yet. Therefore, he thought that he shouldnt make any noise.

It wouldnt be too late to be happy when the final results came out.

After about fifteen minutes, Ling Xiao smelled a hint of fragrance from his furnace.

He could even see through the furnace that the pills had already formed; moreover, they even had a golden hue.

This was a sign that he was approaching success.

But the closer one was to success, the easier it was to fail.

Because at this moment, the flame had to be precisely controlled. If there was the slightest error, it might directly destroy the alchemy furnace.

There was already some noise coming from the side; Qingmus alchemy should be finishing soon.

Ling Xiao had delayed too much at the beginning. Now, not much time was left before the hour deadline.

However, even like that, he was not distracted. He still carefully controlled his furnaces flame, adding spirit charcoal when needed without any mistakes

This kids true essence is truly thick. That special black flame consumed a lot of true essence, but he doesnt seem to have felt it.

Yang Danlin was more and more surprised. He thought that his judgment of Ling Xiao had already been very high, but after a careful observation of Ling Xiaos alchemy, he was still surprised.

Hulalala!

There was a hubbub again as Qingmus alchemy was finished.

After the lid of his alchemy furnace was opened, dozens of golden lights shot out, causing many onlookers to exclaim.

May I trouble the three Elders to grade it.

Qingmu was complacent as he looked at Ling Xiao.

He had also noticed that Ling Xiaos materials were drenched, but not only did he have no intention of pointing out this unfair advantage, he even felt very relieved.

After following Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy for so many years, he had also adopted the principle of using all means to achieve his goals.

Hmm, Deputy Hall Master Qingmu is truly amazing. Your success rate has reached 100%. You have successfully refined all twenty Top Grade True Essence Pills. Among them, three are 100% perfect-level spirit pills, with an effect that is 200% stronger than other pills!

One of the Elder proclaimed.

Yes, as for the remaining seventeen pills, ten are 90% perfect-level spirit pills, whose effect is almost 100% stronger, and the remaining seven are 80% perfect-level spirit pills, whose effect is almost 80% to 90% stronger.

After a furnace of pills was taken out, the first things to judge were incomplete products, defective products and finished products.

And among the finished products, there were three grades, standard, outstanding and perfect.

The effect of the perfect spirit pills had a bonus.

And the perfect level was the perfection-degree of the perfect pills.

Generally speaking, it was considered a pass as long as an alchemist could refine even standard pills. If outstanding pills were refined, then the effect of the pills would increase by 10%.

This was also counted as outstanding alchemist.

If perfect pills were refined, no matter the perfect level, all would belong to the giants and rare among the alchemists.

From this point, it could be seen that Qingmu was a person with true abilities.
