Chapter 208: Ordinary Pills
"Since you are going to challenge me for the championship, I will give you some pointers so that you can accept your defeat sincerely."
Tang Yan's expression and bland words made Jing Wuhen even more angry. He regretted it so much. He really shouldn't have competed with him in alchemy!
"Brother Yan is going to make the elixir." Qin Yue'er said suddenly, immediately attracting the attention of Du Shu and others.
"This main herb is hidden in the roots and branches, and is hard in nature. It requires multiple temperings to fully extract its essence. Can you put it in first?
The second main ingredient, Autumn Fall Stone, also needs to be continuously refined and extracted, so it should be put in first. The Three Star Flower should be put in third, and the Cherry Fruit should also be put in earlier..."
As Tang Yan spoke, he continuously threw several medicinal herbs into the alchemy cauldron.
"All sixteen medicinal herbs have been thrown in!" Seeing what Tang Yan did, the Ninth Elder, who was also an alchemist, widened his eyes in shock.
Even though Old Huo had already witnessed Tang Yan's evilness during his tempering, he still couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at this moment.
How on earth did this kid develop such a skill that he could control sixteen medicinal herbs at the same time, and he looked so calm and composed, obviously doing it with ease.
When Tang Yan started to refine the elixir, Jing Wuhen beside him was also paying attention to Tang Yan's every move.
Seeing that Tang Yan actually poured more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs into the alchemy cauldron in one breath, Jing Wuhen revealed a trace of contempt at the corner of his mouth.
Want to eat until you become fat? You think too highly of yourself. Even I, a third-level alchemist, can't do it. You can just wait for the medicinal materials to become mushy!
Five minutes, ten minutes, a quarter of an hour... As time passed, the imagined burnt smell did not come. Instead, Tang Yan slowly began to proceed to the next step - melting the pill!
Jing Wuhen had just started to refine the last few medicinal ingredients, but Tang Yan, who had stopped for five minutes, unexpectedly came from behind and completed the first step first?
Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. When the alchemists saw Tang Yan refining sixteen medicinal herbs at the same time, they all showed a look of shock in their eyes.
"Fuck, I am hallucinating. How come I see someone refining sixteen medicinal herbs at once?"
"Is it possible that they are just trying to be mysterious and didn't even light the fire?" an alchemist couldn't help but question.
"It's very likely. Isn't this guy a freshman? He should be very young. Even if he has been practicing since his mother's womb, he can't refine sixteen medicinal herbs at the same time!"
The alchemists in the audience were discussing enthusiastically, and without exception they all questioned whether Tang Yan was making the elixir.
Tang Yan ignored everyone's doubts and poured the sixteen medicinal ingredients one by one into the elixir melting area in the center of the cauldron.
It was not difficult for Tang Yan to make a first-grade elixir. He melted more than ten kinds of medicinal materials together in three breaths without any pause, and the elixir was extremely smooth.
Fortunately, there was the alchemy furnace blocking the way. If anyone knew that Tang Yan could melt the pills together in just three breaths, their eyes would pop out.
"Hey, let me tell you, you're pouring the same herbs into the pills one by one, and the effect isn't very good.
Sanxinghua has a dispersing effect on the Tibetan root branch, which can better integrate it with other medicinal materials. Qiuluoshi is mainly used for shaping, and can be poured evenly from beginning to end. In this way, several kinds of elixirs are mixed with Rongdan, and the fusion effect is better. Hey, why don't you listen to me? "
"Shut up!" Hearing Tang Yan's noise at the critical moment, Jing Wuhen shouted angrily.
“Well, if you don’t want to listen, then don’t listen. But when you join me in the future, you have to follow my instructions on the steps of alchemy. Otherwise, I won’t want you even if you beg me on your knees.” Tang Yan muttered again, making Jing Wuhen even more depressed. He paused in the action of melting the pills in his hand and almost ruined the whole furnace of pills.
Taking a deep breath to calm his mind, Jing Wuhen has decided that he will give this guy a good fight after refining the elixir.
As time passed, Old Huo couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, a faint fragrance of elixir was wafting out of Jing Wuhen's cauldron, but not a single smell was emanating from Tang Yan's cauldron.
Qin Yue'er and the others who were closer to Tang Yan also showed a hint of curiosity and worry in their eyes.
"This shouldn't be the case. Brother Yan finished refining the pill before Jing Wuhen, so why is there still no scent of the pill? Did something go wrong when melting the pill?" You Butong said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Brother Yan won't make any mistakes." Du Shu said firmly.
Wu Xian and the others also nodded. The skills that Tang Yan showed them a few days ago had completely shocked them.
"Half an incense stick of time left!" Xiao Cangshan began the countdown.
The two people in the field also reached the most critical moment of alchemy. However, everyone looked at the serious Tang Yan with a hint of amusement in their eyes. Was this guy actually refining the elixir? Why was there no elixir fragrance? Was he pretending?
Such speculation gradually spread, causing many people to cover their mouths and laugh.
"The last twenty breaths!" Xiao Cangshan reminded again.
"Out!" Jing Wuhen, who had already reached the late stage, slammed the alchemy cauldron fiercely. Three snow-white pills flew out from the lid of the cauldron, dazzling people's eyes under the sunlight.
He quickly put the three pills into a porcelain bottle and placed it on the lid of the alchemy cauldron beside him. He turned his head and looked at Tang Yan with a mocking expression: "You were shouting happily before, why is there not even any scent of pills now? If you can't light a fire, don't pretend, just admit defeat."
After he finished speaking, he realized that Tang Yan didn't pay any attention to him at all. Instead, he stood in front of the alchemy cauldron more seriously. Jing Wuhen showed a triumphant smile on his face and said jokingly, "Don't pretend. If it's an acting competition, I will definitely admit defeat directly, but don't be mysterious about alchemy. The time is up, three, two..."
"Bang!" Before Jing Wuhen finished counting, Tang Yan slapped the alchemy cauldron and six milky white pills flew out.
It also glowed, but unlike the light reflected by the Jing Wuhen Pill under the sun, it gave people a feeling... that the pill was glowing!
A white halo surrounded the pill body dimly. In just a moment, the misty air dissipated with the wind. Unfortunately, very few people noticed it.
The six pills in mid-air became ordinary!
From the moment Tang Yan started to melt the pill, there was nothing outstanding about it, and until the pill flew out of the cauldron, everything was extremely dull.
There was no elixir fragrance, nor was there the smooth and bright appearance of the elixir made by the Pure and Incorruptible. Tang Yan had been dawdling for so long, and it turned out that he was playing tricks.
"This..." Qin Yue'er and the others looked at the six pills in surprise. It's not that they were shocked by how good the pills were, but these pills... were too ugly. Brother Yan, did you deliberately make them like this?
The originally quiet square, at this moment, erupted into violent laughter. Poor East District students, they are really going to be at the bottom this time...
When Old Huo saw the pill refined by Tang Yan coming out of the cauldron, he stared at it.
Everyone present could doubt Tang Yan's alchemy skills, but he couldn't. The alchemy skills Tang Yan showed last time even shocked him.
How could such a genius in alchemy make such a mediocre pill at such an important moment?
There was nothing special about the whole body, not even a trace of elixir fragrance.
and many more!
Suddenly, Old Huo's pupils shrank sharply, and he stared at the six pills in the air.
