Chapter 269: Chapter 208: Sword King Pill_l
Inside the cave, the Sword King Grass had fully matured, radiating a dazzling light, exceptionally eye-catching, just like countless silver threads.
On the surrounding mountain rocks, cracks would occasionally appear out of nowhere, all created by the rampaging Sword Qi.
This kind of heavenly treasure, even if it’s not guarded by ferocious beasts, ordinary people can only dream of picking it. They would be instantly sliced into pieces by the incredibly strong Sword Qi.
Jiang Hui naturally had no fear, he stretched out his hand and took the Sword King Grass.
“Hrrm!”
In a split second, a soft humming sound appeared. A more formidable Sword Qi, which seemed to be capable of piercing the sky, instantly cleaved the cave in two.
For a moment, dust and rocks tumbled.
“What a sharp Sword Qi!”
Jiang Hui was somewhat surprised; this Sword King Grass had undergone a certain qualitative change after maturing, completely different from other treasure medicinal plants. It could even initiate an offense, attacking those who attempted to pick it.
Where the Sword Qi went, even the rocks could be instantly cut and smashed.
Of course, this Sword Qi couldn’t even tickle Jiang Hui.
With a wave of his left hand, he immediately sealed all the Sword Qi on the Sword King Grass, not letting it leak out at all.
After all this, he handed it directly to Old Man Lin.
In addition to the Sword King Grass, he also gave to the latter all the other treasure medicinal plants he had obtained previously for producing the Sword King Pill.
Compared to him, Old Man Lin and the few elders in the village actually had more experience. They often made medicine powder like the Blood – Replenishing Medicine, their hands being more skilled.
As long as he explained the heat and the order of the medicinal herbs, with the experience of Old Man Lin and others, it should be possible.
Even if they failed a few times, it didn’t matter. Jiang Hui had already estimated that the treasure medicinal plants he currently had could at most produce nine pills, and he only needed one.
That is to say, there were nine chances to make the pill, as long as they succeed once it would be enough.
Upon receiving the instructions, Old Man Lin and some village elders who usually make medicine powder started to get busy.
They set up the cauldron, made a fire, added in water.
All the steps were done in one go.
Generally speaking, apart from success and failure, the quality of the elixir also has levels.
From low to high, they can be divided into poor, mediocre, high-quality, premium, immortal.
Poor and mediocre focus more on the craftsmanship of the alchemist, while for high-quality and above, besides craftsmanship, the materials and cauldron used for alchemy also have very strict requirements.
If both the materials and the cauldron are mundane, even if a master alchemist takes action, they could only achieve high-quality at most.
Jiang Hui doesn’t really have too much requirement for the quality of the elixir. Whether it’s the lowest poor or the highest immortal, both have the effect he wants. As long as it’s effective, it’s fine.
Considering the difficulty of the alchemy this time was much higher than before, thus Old Man Lin and others didn’t succeed in one go.
Although they had gained some experience, afterall they were just ordinary people and not geniuses in alchemy. If they succeeded on the first try, it would be strange.
The 1st attempt failed.
The 2nd attempt failed.
The 3rd attempt failed.
The reasons for all the failures were almost the same, being the improper control of heating and timing.
This was inevitable. After all, it was controlled by people and some deviation was inevitable. It’s impossible to be as precise and seamless like a machine.
The 4th attempt failed.
The 5th attempt failed.
Until the 6th attempt…
This time, Old Man Lin and others waited for eleven days and eleven nights without the cauldron exploding or black smoke appearing like the previous attempts.
“Does this mean we have succeeded?” Old Man Lin’s face was unusually pale, with bloodshot eyes.
He had now stepped into the Insignia Realm, even if he didn’t sleep for a month it wouldn’t matter, but in order to complete Jiang Hui’s assigned task, Old Man Lin’s spirit had been extremely tense in this short period of time.
At this moment.
Old man Lin frowned tightly, his pair of hands full of old calluses were extraordinarily dark at this moment, looking uncertainly at the Big Pot in front of him whose fire had been extinguished.
Several elderly clan elders on the side were similarly serious, meticulous in their demeanor.
The medicinal materials bestowed by Lord Willow God were running out. If they failed again this time, these old men were likely to be distressed to tears. Although they often made things like Medicine Powder on regular days, it was their first time making an Elixir, especially the challenging Sword King Pill. “Unseal the cauldron!” Old man Lin inhaled deeply and spoke.
No matter the outcome, they had to first open it and see.
Quickly.
The heavy Bronze Ding lid was lifted.
The moment the cauldron was opened.
The rich aroma of the medicinal plant reacted with the scent of the soil and flowers, permeating the air, emerging together, and rushing towards them… Then.
A Elixir, crystal clear and lush green, the size of a peanut, floated up in the air.
The next moment.
All the brilliance retracted.
As if ten thousand knives and swords melted into one place.
Jiang Hui glanced at it and simultaneously used the Surveillance Technique.
Name:Sword King Pill
Rank: Low
Effect:Special function item, has a unique effect, can make the damaged Sword King Body recover as before, can take effect only once, cannot be used repeatedly.
Very quickly.
Jiang Hui saw the basic information of the Elixir in front of him.
It was not unexpected.
The rank of the Sword King Pill was only the lowest rank.
However, this could not be helped. After all, people like Old man Lin could only produce with ordinary things. It was already good to be successful.
“Everyone did very well!”
The voice of Jiang Hui sounded, exploding in the minds of Old man Lin and others like thunderbolts.
“To be able to serve Lord Willow God is our honor!”
The faces of Old man Lin and others turned joyous, and they quickly knelt down towards the direction of Jiang Hui.
For them, to be praised by Lord Willow God was the highest honor. It was even more encouraging than any reward.
Most importantly, when Lord Willow God spoke, it meant that they had finally completed the task perfectly as expected, which gave them a strong sense of accomplishment.
On the mountain, Jiang Hui looked around, and could not help but smile softly. Although these old men were close to six or seven hundred years old combined, they acted like children in their daily lives, much like playful old men. But when it came to important matters, they were like dignified elders, full of determination and aspiration.
When he collected the Sword King Pill, Jiang Hui also called up the broad-sword man.
“Lord Willow God above!”
The broad sword man hurried over quickly and knelt down less than a hundred meters from Jiang Hui, his voice full of reverence.
“Get up!” Jiang Hui spoke leisurely.
Perhaps it was because he had once restored the man’s loved one from a vegetative state, the Faith Value of the broad-sword man was much higher than those who entered Liu Village at the same time.
Jiang Hui didn’t make much small talk with him and directly gave the successfully refined Sword King Pill to the man.
“Lord Willow God, what is this?”
The broad-sword man, full of confusion, asked in misunderstanding.
“Sword King Pill!”
