Chapter 574: Chapter 581: Celestial Phenomenon Formed! Elixir Produced! (10 more)
On a stormy night, someone was out playing in the back hills?
And wasn’t afraid of getting struck by lightning!
Everyone gawked at Yang Zhen with baffled expressions and a hint of incredulity in their eyes, clearly showing disbelief in his story.
Yang Zhen didn’t care what others thought. He took a deep breath, “At that moment, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from mid-air, like that of a beast resembling a cow. It was so terrifying that it almost shattered my soul. Right after that, with a thump, a bloody old man fell from the sky. Having been schooled in the village for nine obligation-free years, I know to respect the elderly and love the young. I also know that saving a life surpasses building a seven-level pagoda. Hence, risking my life… risk of being bitten by a cow, I saved that old man.”
“A beast resembling a cow?” Mei Chaofen’s face suddenly hardened as he stared at Yang Zhen and asked, “Did you see what kind of beast it was? Its roar could intimidate one’s soul.”
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “I was almost scared to death at that time, how could I dare to see what kind of beast it was? It was only later that the Medicine Elder told me that he would not give up and must kill that long worm with four legs.”
“Medicine Elder?” GuanGuan’s face looked taken aback, she quickly stabilized the furnace, her eyes flickered with uncertainty.
“A long worm with four legs!” Mei Chaofen took a deep breath, his expression bizarre, “So, all your Alchemy knowledge was passed down by him?”
Upon hearing Mei Chaofen’s words, everyone at the scene gasps in surprise.
Little Fatty, full of admiration, muttered to himself, “So, such enormous opportunities in the legends do exist; this so-called Medicine Elder must be an incredibly powerful elder. It’s no wonder our Friend Yang Kaixin’s achievements in Alchemy are so high.”
“No!”
The words of Yang Zhen took everyone aback. Mei Chaofen frowned, surprised, he asked, “Not so?”
Damn it! Why are you telling us all this?
Isn’t this nonsense?
Ji Yourong looked at Yang Zhen, a face full of exasperation. Only she knew Yang Zhen’s nature. He was always spouting rubbish, with not a word of truth coming from his mouth.
However, the lies that wouldn’t even fool a ghost, when spoken from Yang Zhen’s mouth, were confusing enough to make one doubt truth and falsehood.
Doubt held more weight than disbelief! Most of them were muddled by Yang Zhen into confusion. And in confusion, there was no question of belief or disbelief. Most were left with the thought ‘So that’s how it is! It’s absolutely ludicrous’.
As expected, under Ji Yourong’s bemused expression, Yang Zhen inhaled deeply and said, “The Medicine Elder eventually couldn’t survive, his Spirit Soul completely annihilated. Before his death, he sealed all his life’s knowledge in my Divine Consciousness Space. These … are all his life’s achievements, which I cherish greatly.”
“Oh!” GuanGuan exclaimed, her eyes moist, she told Yang Zhen: “Yang Kaixin, you must carry forward the inheritance of the Medicine Elder.”
Yang Zhen nodded heavily, looking innocently at Mei Chaofen.
Mei Chaofen let out a sigh of relief, saying, “If so, I won’t pry any further. It’s never easy to practice for a hundred years. Since you and the Medicine Elder have this bond, cherish it well, but Alchemy is ultimately a path fraught with hardships. You should take care.”
“Yes, your junior will remember!” Yang Zhen bowed respectfully to Mei Chaofen and winked at Ji Yourong.
Ji Yourong glared at Yang Zhen. Yet again, this rascal had managed to bluff his way through.
Then she realized why Yang Zhen had suddenly revealed how they had met. The rascal had been confident he could bluff his way through as well as hide his origins.
He was looking out for her, so that if his true affairs were exposed in the future, she wouldn’t be involved.
Just then, GuanGuan suddenly cried out in surprise. She brought down her hands heavily on the pill furnace, causing an explosion of multicolored light. Warm mist fluttered out from the air holes of the pill furnace, emanating waves of fragrant scent that soothed everyone’s hearts.
“Is…is this the Dingyuan Pill?” Mei Chaofen was astonished, looking at the pill furnace with disbelief. Suddenly, she exclaimed, “Impossible! How can there be a Dingyuan Pill this pure?”
The purer the potion, the better its effect. That was a principle every practitioner knew. High-purity potions were nearly priceless. A practitioner fortunate enough to acquire one would never part with it, always choosing to keep it for personal use.
Everyone gasped. Although they didn’t know how to make potions, determining their purity was easy.
The scent of this Dingyuan Pill indicated an unprecedented level of purity, leaving everyone more shocked than hearing about the four-legged insect.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen in surprise. They hadn’t expected that under Yang Zhen’s brief guidance, GuanGuan not only broke through her bottleneck but also succeeded in using a simple method to make Dingyuan Pills, a method which produced purer Dingyuan Pills than the traditional method.
It…it was simply impossible.
All prescription formulas in the world were perfected over years, and almost every mature formula was near perfection. There wasn’t any other method to substitute them. Even a slight departure would result in a dramatically different potion.
That’s why the same formula produced vastly different potions in terms of potency and appearance when different alchemists brewed them.
But… everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
Was the formula for the Dingyuan Pill broken by such a young Alchemy Grandmaster?
Even though Yang Zhen played a significant role in this, it still left everyone in disbelief.
The happiest of all was Mei Chaofen. With a face filled with joy, she looked at GuanGuan and asked with anticipation, “GuanGuan, did you succeed?”
GuanGuan’s face lit up with happiness. Excitedly, she glanced at Yang Zhen before turning to Mei Chaofen to say, “Yes, Elder Mei, I succeeded.”
Mei Chaofen laughed out loud and said with relief, “Blessed be our Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, blessed be our Heavenly Snow Holy Domain! With GuanGuan’s method of producing the Dingyuan Pill, our strength will greatly increase in a very short time.”
All the disciples from Heavenly Snow Holy Domain were ecstatic. The purer the Dingyuan Pill, the higher its success rate. Thus, they would get more Dingyuan Pills. Their cultivation speed would be at least twice that of practitioners outside the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain. Even a fool would not lag far behind other practitioners at such a speed.
Boom —!
A furnace sound penetrated the alchemical cauldron, soaring into the sky. The colorful rays were dazzling and the pleasant scent of the pills became stronger, leaving everyone stunned.
Rumble!
In the midst of the terrifying air wave rolling in mid-air, the heavenly phenomenon began to form slowly, leaving everyone in awe.
It had succeeded!
The heavenly phenomenon had formed, and the potion was made!
It hadn’t been long, and the Dingyuan Pill had been successfully brewed, moreover, a top-quality Dingyuan Pill with an extremely high purity. All the proficient alchemists were unable to suppress their astonishment.
What terrifyingly efficient method had GuanGuan invented?
Even Yang Zhen was surprised. He hadn’t expected this method to be so fast. A Dingyuan Pill that should have taken half a day to make was ready in just half an hour?
Seeing GuanGuan about to complete her pill, Yang Zhen also became interested and curiously watched how GuanGuan would proceed.
