Chapter 731: Chapter 571 Fire Manipulation + Chapter 572 Two Phases of the Wind and Sky_3
"Good, good, stop now, change it to dark red flames."
Elder Qing suddenly snapped back to his senses and hurriedly gave new instructions, silently adding medicinal materials, watching the melted medicine liquid condense into a color that sparkled with golden light, feeling utterly bewildered.
’If I could control the fire like this, would I still worry about the success rate of forming pills? Not to mention these mortally refined elixirs, even the True Martial level elixirs, I could refine whatever grade I wished...’
The importance of fire control in alchemy is even greater than the proportioning of the medicinal ingredients.
Each medicinal material, what techniques to use, to what extent it should be refined, these things can all be slowly experimented with.
But if the fire control is not up to par, one might either burn it or cause uneven distribution of medicinal power.
Seventeen or eighteen kinds of medicine with cooling properties blended together, any slight deviation in medicinal properties could result in producing not a precious medicine but a poison pill.
The true meaning herein lies heavily on experience, and even more on talent, especially the intuitive sense of the medicinal properties, which can only be understood and cannot be conveyed.
Just like a chef cooking.
The same proportions, the same ingredients, what two people cook can taste worlds apart.
Some people can make dishes so delicious that one would wish they could swallow their own tongue.
Others make something that tastes like chewing wax.
Lin Huaiyu watched Elder Qing frantically scratch his beard, appearing quite flustered, and couldn’t help but purse his lips and chuckle lightly.
As for the other dozen or so apprentices helping, they watched without even blinking, staring at the flames.
Then turning back, they observed Elder Qing’s alchemy techniques and the timing of adding ingredients.
They were too busy to look away.
They knew this was the best time to learn, not daring to be distracted; there was no one exclaiming in astonishment.
As for Zhou Ping’an.
His mind was not on the flames.
In his mind, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire flickered slightly, the threads of Wishful Thought Power were burning by the thousands.
At that moment, his mind was like a high-speed running photonic brain, ceaselessly calculating, analyzing, summarizing, memorizing every action of Elder Qing, not just memorizing, but also correlating the fire with the medicine, the shifts and speeds of the medicinal properties, elaborately deducing every detail, and forming a huge structured map in his mind.
’The Seven-colored fire is also sufficient, even if the twenty-seven medicinal ingredients of the Aperture Opening Pill need different temperatures, they can be completely handled, no need to split into Nine-layered fire.’
Zhou Ping’an’s technique became even more skilled, he could even calculate the extent and heat of every gust of wind that twirled each flame to the minutest detail.
And maintained this for two full Shichen without feeling tired.
Eventually, Elder Qing became almost numb, no longer focusing on how Zhou Ping’an controlled the fire, having crafted two batches of Ultimate Intent Elixir, three batches of Seven-Colored Pill, seeing the high success rate, he finally gritted his teeth and began to refine the Aperture Opening Pill.
The first batch was done.
Formed two pills, both were top-grade.
Only then did he take a long sigh, looking up at the sky, his emotions fluctuating.
"It would really be a pity if you didn’t refine pills with this talent."
He looked deeply at Zhou Ping’an and sighed with deep emotion.
Of course, this was a joke.
In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with only forming two pills and believed that he had not been skilled enough, thus failing to do justice to Zhou Ping’an’s fire control techniques.
So, in the second batch, he crafted three top-grade pills.
The third batch also yielded three pills, but one of them was the top-grade.
At the sound of Lin Huaiyu’s cheers.
Elder Qing finally showed a smile on his face, and he heavily took the towel, wiping off the sweat from his face.
"Finally, I’ve lived up to the mission."
"Elder Qing has worked hard, you were able to refine a top-grade Aperture Opening Pill?"
Zhou Ping’an also couldn’t help but grin widely.
It wasn’t because a top-grade pill like this couldn’t even be crafted by the Tang Family, the success rate also significantly surpassed that of Old Man Tang Yu from the Tang Family.
But because he had recorded every single detail, engraved deeply in his soul.
Even his understanding of the essence of the pill’s form was deeper than Elder Qing’s.
’Just give me two batches, no, just one practice batch, I should be able to replicate the process of just now when a top-grade pill was formed. However, this is not the limit.’
Looking at the more than 200,000 Wish Silk Threads that had been consumed in his Sea of Consciousness, Zhou Ping’an did not feel regret.
"Rest one day, let’s refine the Moon Spirit Pill tomorrow."
Looking at the tired face of Elder Qing.
Zhou Ping’an felt somewhat reluctant.
This was like squeezing the old man, truly a bit too much.
"No need, while the luck is extremely good, we should strike while the iron is hot, let’s refine the Moon Spirit Pill now."
Elder Qing said boldly: "Come, give me an injection."
Since the old man insisted.
There was nothing more to say.
Zhou Ping’an was not tired at all...
Right away, he used the Life and Death Impermanence Needle, then gave Elder Qing a Seven-Colored Pill to calm his mind and spirit, and continued working.
He was busy until noon the next day when he finally extinguished the furnace.
Zhou Ping’an looked at the eight Moon Spirit Pills in his hand, one of which was sparkling and emitting a fragrant aroma.
He couldn’t help but smile with joy.
The success rate of making pills was ninety percent, and the rate for top-grade pills was over ten percent.
Although he personally handled the fire control.
But frankly speaking, Elder Qing could already be considered a Second-grade Alchemist.
Moreover, he wasn’t weak among the Second-grade Alchemists.
With him in charge, any powerful pill recipes obtained in the future could save him the time to study. He just needed to follow and learn from the successes.
This advantage was tremendous.
In the mental induction, looking at the forty-plus Seven-orifice Exquisite Grasses in the spatial medicinal field, Zhou Ping’an fell into deep thought.
If word got out, his place could indefinitely cultivate high masters of the True Martial Realm.
The world would probably be stirred into an uproar.
’Before having enough ability to protect oneself, it seems I still need to be cautious.’
With that thought, Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu left the city and went to the wilderness.
He first scraped off a bit of powder from a Top-grade Enlightenment Pill to taste, then scraped off and swallowed a bit of a top-grade elixir. Feeling confident, he handed over the radiant Top-grade Enlightenment Pill and smiled: "Eat it, I’ll protect you."
"Am I eating this one?"
Lin Huaiyu’s eyes were full of joy.
She forcefully suppressed her excitement.
True Martial Realm, swallowing one pill could extend life by more than three hundred years.
From then on, one would undergo a complete transformation, living a long life, not to mention greatly enhancing one’s strength...
Thinking back to the past, when she painstakingly searched for medicines for the Sword of Canghai, competing in wits and bravery with various forces in Qingyang City, her eyes became moist in an instant.
Nowadays, let alone the Sword of Canghai, not even to mention the Seven-Colored Tuberose, she wasn’t even willing to consume a Top-grade Enlightenment Pill.
"Okay."
One word conveyed thousands of thoughts.
Lin Huaiyu looked tenderly at Zhou Ping’an.
Immediately swallowed the treasure pill.
Sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop stone, she focused on refining the medicine.
Zhou Ping’an stood three zhang away, his Heart Thought covering all directions, watching as Lin Huaiyu dissolved the medicinal power and also sensed the rising phantom of a huge Golden Peng around her...
A golden light soared into the sky.
In his view, there was an exuberant rising spirit.
A sudden gust of wind erupted, and the golden peng soared high into the sky till it reached the clouds.
Then, it disappeared into thin air, and when it reappeared, it was a hundred zhang away.
Lin Huaiyu’s seated body also vanished in an instant, stepping out a hundred zhang away.
Suppressing the urge to roar long and loud, her figure flickered, as if she had traveled through space, she flashed and then reappeared in front of Zhou Ping’an.
The giant shadow of the Golden Peng around her had solidified to the size of two people, its wings fluttering like light, floating behind her, with cyan feathers materializing as wings, guarding both sides.
"Senior brother, this elixir is so powerful. Not only have I stepped into True Martial in one stride, but I’ve also managed to condense two true wings of wind."
"Congratulations."
Zhou Ping’an smiled.
He knew what Lin Huaiyu was happy about.
The Top-grade Enlightenment Pill wasn’t just about breaking through to True Martial, if it were so, a high-grade pill would have been enough, and even a mid-grade could also work, with a high chance of a successful breakthrough.
A top-grade elixir was ten times stronger than a high-grade elixir.
It had its own wonderful uses.
It could rapidly enhance the soul and will at the moment of breakthrough.
To skip the long process of nurturing the Void Form and thus save many years, getting a glimpse of the mystery of the Real Form in Mid True Martial ahead of time.
"Try a slash."
Zhou Ping’an suggested.
Lin Huaiyu readily agreed.
She unsheathed the long sword from behind her back and swung it out.
Vital energy surged around her, pulling Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy, transforming into a hazy sword mastery tens of zhang long, striking like teleportation directly onto a distant hillside.
Shhh...
The hillside burst open dramatically.
"What a Two Phases of Wind and Sky."
Zhou Ping’an praised.
