Everything was ready, Ye Chen took a deep breath.
He looked at the sparks that had been churning in the medicine cauldron for a long time, waved his right hand, and one of the many medicinal herbs in the surrounding jade boxes immediately flew out and was thrown into the medicine cauldron without hesitation.
As soon as the herb entered the cauldron, it quickly withered under the terrifying heat of the silver sparks. Then, under Ye Chen's powerful soul control, it burned for a full two hours before being refined into a pure medicinal liquid. Finally, with a thought from Ye Chen, it gently floated in the corner of the cauldron...
This series of movements were smooth and fluid, obviously the result of years of experience in alchemy. Xuan Kongzi, who was standing next to him, nodded slightly when he saw this scene, and was very satisfied with the performance of his disciple.
Moreover, the spark possessed by his disciple was also extraordinary, and he was able to successfully refine the Golden Sun Fruit within two hours!
Ye Chen extracted the first batch of pure medicinal liquid at the fastest speed. His expression remained unchanged. He waved his hands one after another, and one by one, the medicinal herbs began to be swept into the medicine cauldron...
Although such a process may seem very monotonous and boring to outsiders, for those who refine medicine, their minds have been elevated to the maximum level at this time, and they have been isolated from everything in the outside world.
Time passed by minute by minute...
Before I knew it, a whole day had passed.
Finally, after successfully extracting all the medicinal herbs, Ye Chen, who had been concentrating all the time, could finally relax.
"How do you feel?" Xuan Kongzi asked with a smile.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Well, from the perspective of refining medicinal materials, although the difficulty is a bit higher than refining a sixth-grade elixir, it is still within my tolerance..."
Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly, sighing, "Yes. But this is also due to your unique conditions..."
His disciple not only possessed a powerful soul, but also possessed such a powerful flame. As for his control over soul and flame, leaving aside the details, what Xuan Kongzi found most incomprehensible was that he discovered that his disciple's flame, known as "Spark Fire," was not only comparable in temperature to some exotic fires, but even its energy consumption was far lower than many high-level beast fires...
This seems a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it!
The more powerful the flames, the more terrifying the fighting spirit consumed to activate them. This is the consensus of people across the continent.
But Ye Chen happened to break this point. Not only was the temperature of the flame high enough, but the energy consumption was only about one-tenth of the flame of the same level. This gave him a huge innate advantage when refining high-level pills.
"Although you have easily passed the stage of refining medicinal materials, the next step is the real test!" Xuan Kongzi retracted his sigh and reminded with a serious face.
"The energy of a seventh-grade elixir is too immense, so when combining it, one must be extremely careful. One must find the points of convergence between all the ingredients, and then use soul power as a guide to allow them to fuse autonomously..."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, pondering his teacher's words in his heart.
"Okay, stop thinking about it. No matter how much you think, it's better to do it yourself. With your master here, you can do it with confidence." Xuan Kongzi smiled and said softly.
Just as he said, only by doing it yourself can you truly understand the key tricks, otherwise you can't figure it out by imagination alone.
After hearing this, Ye Chen felt that this was very true. After all, he still had several medicinal materials here, so even if he failed once or twice, it would not be a big deal.
Of course, unless you are a wealthy tycoon with top power behind you, it is better not to try this approach lightly. Otherwise, if you fail a few times, you will have no choice but to declare bankruptcy...
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen closed his eyes again, and then the vast soul power rushed into the medicine cauldron frantically, wrapping up the essence of the extracted medicinal materials.
Recalling the order of combining the medicinal materials recorded in the Instant Qi Pill recipe, Ye Chen immediately began the first medicinal material fusion...
Wrapped in the transparent soul power, a ball of green and a ball of purple medicinal liquid began to slowly approach each other, then touched each other, and finally the soul power that wrapped the two directly merged into one.
The moment the barrier between the two liquids disappeared, the expected fusion did not occur. Instead, both liquids released their energy crazily, almost breaking Ye Chen's soul barrier...
This scene also made Ye Chen's heart beat faster instantly, and he tried his best to control it so that he would not be freed by them.
Knowing that he couldn't force it, Ye Chen could only control the two to slowly approach each other again, and wisps of silver flames passed through the soul membrane and began to wrap around the two balls of medicine and burn them.
Just like that, after continuous attempts at fusion, the two liquids finally began to fuse...
"call..."
He heaved a sigh of relief and finally let go of the worry in his heart.
The fusion began, and the next thing was a natural progression. Under the baking of the sparks, the two balls of medicine successfully melted together.
With the experience of the first time, Ye Chen became more and more proficient in the following. Groups of medicinal liquids were continuously integrated, and the fused medicinal liquids were getting bigger and bigger...
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, and Ye Chen unconsciously increased his speed a little.
But just this tiny change instantly caused a chain reaction!
The originally quiet fusion group suddenly began to riot, various energies quickly intertwined, and energy continued to break through Ye Chen's soul blockade, hitting the wall of the tripod, making a dull sound.
Ye Chen's brows furrowed, and then more soul power surged out frantically, trying to control everything...
But it's totally useless.
boom!
A loud bang blasted out Ye Chen's soul power, making him feel dizzy...
Although this feeling disappeared quickly, there was no way to protect the pills in the medicine cauldron.
Looking at the black exhaust gas coming out of the exhaust hole, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and could only admit the failure of this alchemy.
"What? Did the pill explode?" Xuan Kongzi had a smiling face, as if all this was within his expectations.
This is indeed the case.
Originally, when Ye Chen successfully merged all the medicinal liquids, he thought that he, as a disciple, would succeed this time.
But when he saw the sudden change in the fusion rhythm later, he knew the final result.
Seeing Ye Chen's silence, Xuan Kongzi was afraid of dampening the little guy's enthusiasm, so he immediately spoke to comfort him: "It's okay, one failure is nothing. What matters is what you gain from it. Remember what your master said? Pay attention to your own pace, don't rush..."
