Jiang Chen looked at the curious Xu Xin and said casually, “You should first place a Purple Cloud Fruit, then place the Firecloud Ganoderma, then the Earth Dragon Blood, and then wait for three breaths’ time to increase the firepower before placing the remaining Purple Cloud Fruits. Only by combining the medicinal properties in this way will you be able to create the optimal effects of the various herbs.”
In order to refine pills, this beautiful maiden had ended up with a face covered in dirt. Furthermore, her eyes were clearly a bit lost. It was obvious that she had tied herself into knots.
Jiang Chen was a kind person who was willing to help others. How could he bear to let this girl with such a well-endowed chest be troubled?
After all, looks were everything, and so was having a nice chest.
“That’s it?”
Xu Xin could not believe that the answer to the question that had been bothering her for so long was so simple.
It wasn’t exactly the same as what was written on the recipe, but Xu Xin felt a sense of enlightenment.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. She was in awe of the miraculous variations of pill refinement.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Xu Xin immediately took out a new pill furnace, prepared a second set of medicinal ingredients, and started to refine.
The Earth’s Heart Flame rose, and her fire spirit beast began to control the fire.
This time, Xu Xin followed the steps Jiang Chen gave her. Sure enough, everything went smoothly, and it wasn’t long before it was time to condense the pill.
She had just cast the Alchemy Art with her hands when she heard that voice again.
“Inject thirty percent of your spiritual energy into three areas following the eight trigrams — Upper Kun, 4th Axial Kan, and the Lower Li.”
Xu Xin unknowingly followed the instructions of the voice to condense the pill. There wasn’t the slightest bit of unfamiliarity, nor was there any sign of the Manifestation of the Restless Fire Dragon mentioned in the pill recipe. The entire process was surprisingly smooth, and the pill condensation was completed in an instant.
She had successfully refined the Fire Dragon Body Forging Pill!
“Yay, it’s finally done!”
Xu Xin excitedly opened the pill furnace and saw the 13 round pills that were glowing with a red light.
The medicinal fragrance that went into her nostrils made her mind tremble. She really succeeded in refining it this time!
“Thank you. I haven’t asked for your… honored name, Senior.”
Xu Xin had put away the medicinal pill and finally remembered to thank the person who guided her just now. But when she turned around, she realized that there was no one there at all.
The senior who guided her had already left.
Xu Xin was a little vexed. She had been too engrossed just now. Not only did she forget to ask for the senior’s name, but now that she thought about it, other than a gray figure, she could not remember the senior’s appearance at all.
“What is my disciple worrying about? Do you need me to help you?”
Right at this moment, Elder Hao arrived.
Refining the Fire Dragon Body Forging Pill was the task he had assigned to Xu Xin. Furthermore, it was also a test he gave his disciple.
The refinement method of this pill was complicated, and it was extremely easy to fail. There was also quite a high chance of failure when condensing the pill.
In his opinion, although Xu Xin’s talent was not bad, she clearly was still unable to refine this kind of spirit pill. She must have failed many times already.
At this moment, it was time for this teacher to come out and guide her.
“Ah! Master, take a look! This is the pill that I’ve just refined! Take a look and see if it meets the criteria!”
Xu Xin naturally did not know about Elder Hao’s plans. She hurriedly took out the bottle containing the Fire Dragon Body Forging Pills and handed it over like she was presenting a treasure.
“Eh?”
What? Did he hear wrong?
She had succeeded?!
Elder Hao was originally calmly stroking his beard, but after hearing Xu Xin’s words, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes as many thoughts passed through his mind.
The refinement difficulty of the Fire Dragon Body Forging Pill was very high. He had never seen or even heard of anyone being able to successfully refine it the first time they came into contact with it.
Even when he first refined this type of medicinal pill, it took him a full three months to succeed, failing countless times. In the end, under the guidance of his master, he finally grasped the flame control and was able to refine this type of medicinal pill.
However, his disciple, Xu Xin, actually refined this kind of medicinal pill in less than three days.
Could it be that her talent was actually so formidable?!
Impossible, this was absolutely impossible!
Elder Hao’s shock turned into disbelief at first. Perhaps Xu Xin had just coincidentally refined a useless pill without any medicinal effects.
Elder Hao had just opened the medicine bottle when he cried out in shock, “No, this taste isn’t right!”
“What? Master, did I fail in the end?”
Although Xu Xin felt that she had definitely succeeded just now, she also knew that the Fire Dragon Body Forging Pill was very difficult to refine. It was still understandable that she had failed.
After all, this was her first time producing a pill. She did not know what the pill was supposed to actually be like after it was successfully refined.
Now that her master had said those words, it proved that she had failed. Perhaps she had hallucinated the gray figure, along with the refining method he had spoken to her.
When she thought of this, Xu Xin’s face could not help but darken. However…
“Failure? How could this be considered a failure? I have never seen such medicinal pills in my life. Although this medicinal fragrance is lighter than ordinary Fire Dragon Body Forging Pills, the medicinal properties are more than fifty percent higher!
“If such a Fire Dragon Body Forging Pill can’t be considered a success, then what other medicinal pill can be?!”
Elder Hao’s face was filled with excitement. He couldn’t hold back his words as his hands that held the porcelain bottle trembled helplessly.
“Did you really refine these? You didn’t buy these from somewhere, did you? You’re not lying to me, are you?” Elder Hao asked with a serious expression.
He couldn’t help but have these thoughts. Even if Xu Xin had refined a useless pill, he would still have been amazed.
Now, not only had she managed to refine them, the quality of the pills was also extraordinary, and she had even tripled the usual amount.
Was this really something that Xu Xin, who had just come into contact with this kind of medicinal pill, could refine?!
Even he was not certain that he could refine such a medicinal pill in one cauldron.
“Master, I really just refined this,” Xu Xin said anxiously.
Without hesitation, Elder Hao said in a deep voice, “Then refine it again in front of me.”
Immediately after, Xu Xin started refining according to the previous method.
Perhaps it was because of her first experience, but this time, her process was even smoother. In the end, she actually managed to produce one more pill than the first batch.
“It’s… it’s actually true! Could there really be someone in this world who was born to be an alchemy genius?!”
Elder Hao was so dumbfounded that his beard was on the verge of falling off. He looked at the batch of newly refined Fire Dragon Body Forging Pills.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Xu Xin had done it right before his eyes, he would simply not dare to believe that there was actually someone in this world who could grasp this pill recipe in such a short period of time and even refine them in such quality and quantity.
