Chapter 133: Competition!!
When she saw Xuan Yi standing in front of the alchemy tower, it was obvious that this was his first time here. Cai Ling ‘er understood that this alchemist was a newbie. Perhaps he was just a proud disciple of the Xuan family who wanted to find a new path and walk on the path of alchemy.
It was very normal for disciples of big families.
However, Cai Ling ‘er shook her head secretly. Xuan Yi had taken the wrong path.
The disciples of the Xuan family had never produced any famous alchemists.
It was just that the Xuan family and the Cai family were close. Since Cai Ling ‘er saw that his attainments were not shallow, she would help him if she could.
Looking at Cai Ling ‘er who walked up to him after finished speaking, Xuan Yi shook his head and smiled. He followed her with an indifferent expression.
Xuan Yi came to the alchemy association only to find a place that was enough for him to start from a grade one spirit pill. After he mastering it, he would directly think about refining a grade five spirit pill.
The Heaven region’s alchemist association was a place that could satisfy Xuan Yi’s desire to keep trying. It also happened to be a place where the alchemy memory of the alchemy grandmaster could be completely transformed into Xuan Yi’s own skills.
Cai Ling ‘er suddenly opened her mouth. She hesitated for a moment before deciding to persuade this Xuan family disciple.
“If your martial arts are not good, you can still persevere. But if your alchemy is not good, then it really is not good.”
“Recently, I’ve been very interested in alchemy.”
Xuan Yi nodded slightly. He had inherited the alchemy memory of an alchemy venerable. If he didn’t master the alchemy memory, it would simply be a waste of heaven’s gifts.
Cai Ling ‘er frowned slightly. She knew that Xuan Yi wasn’t going to turn back until he hit the wall.
“Alright, then come with me. You can go and try refining first-grade pills for me to take a look.”
Cai Ling’er concluded that Xuan Yi did not have a deep understanding of alchemy. It was probably because Xuan Yi saw that fourth and fifth-grade alchemy had a high status in the Heaven region and yearned for it. Thus, he could only read the basic alchemy books and try it out.
Alchemy was an experience and skill that was highly valued. It was not something that anyone could easily refine fourth or fifth-grade spirit pills after reading a few alchemy books.
A grade five alchemist could already be called a pill king by the world.
His status was as noble as a strong person in the sect master realm.
Since Xuan Yi did not listen to her advice, Cai Ling ‘er did not say much and prepared to let Xuan Yi refine a grade one clear spirit pill first. If he could not even refine the pill that was offered, then Xuan Yi would naturally follow the path of nature. Pill refinement was not a simple matter.
“Miss Ling ‘er, you’re becoming more and more beautiful.”
Cai Ling ‘er seemed to be quite famous in the Pill Refining Association. Along the way, whether it was for the sake of the Cai family or because of Cai Ling ‘er’s own pill refining ability, many people were eagerly looking at Cai Ling ‘er.
There were even people whose eyeballs were rolling. When they saw Xuan Yi following behind Cai Ling ‘er, they felt very curious.
Hence, they secretly followed.
This way, the crowd of onlookers increased.
The first-grade alchemy room was also transparent in all directions, allowing people to observe.
Although Cai Ling ‘er did not like it, the pills were not suitable to say anything. She could only secretly give some pointers to this Xuan family brat when refining the pills later.
Alchemy tower, first-grade alchemy room.
In front of the burning pill furnace.
Cai Ling ‘er stood beside Xuan Yi and indicated that Xuan Yi could begin.
Xuan Yi nodded slightly and stood in front of the pill furnace. He closed his eyes and suddenly opened them a moment later.
“Swoosh!”
A spirit light swept out and crushed a spiritual material in front of him, turning it into medicinal liquid and filling it into the pill furnace. It continuously evaporated unwanted substances. Following that, another spirit light swept out and a stalk of green grass was directly mixed into the pill furnace.
Cai Ling ‘er stood beside Xuan Yi with her arms wrapping and frowned slightly.
From the moment Xuan Yi started refining pills, she knew that this man in front of her was simply fooling around.
His method of handling spiritual materials was simply full of mistakes.
How could he directly throw the green spirit grass in?
“You have a very big problem with the handling of spiritual materials. You must know that if you want to refine a high-grade clear spirit pill, you need to beat these medicinal materials into a solid state and add them into the pill furnace.”
Xuan Yi only smiled at this.
He had the memories of the alchemy grandmaster in his mind. When he was in the Xuan family, Xuan Yi had also browsed through the basic pill books. Naturally, he knew that there was a huge difference between the alchemy grandmaster’s method and the existing alchemy methods for different medicinal ingredients and different handling methods.
The green spirit herb’s medicinal natures were gentle, as it turned into a semi-solid state, threw it into the pill furnace. It could indeed be considered a good alchemy grandmaster’s method, but it was very unique. Then, paying attention to the temperature and directly stuffed it in, after that, combining it with the ganoderma. Later, It was enough to make a first-grade clear spirit pill, and it would bring out the effects of a second grade pill.
Seeing that Xuan Yi did not speak, Cai Ling ‘er glared at Xuan Yi in a very bad manner. She turned her head and saw that Xuan Yi had actually turned the powder of the ganoderma into one again and added it into the furnace.
She had never seen a person who refined pills like this.
As everyone knew, the ganoderma needed to be kneaded into powder to be added. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the pill if it was light, or an explosion of the furnace if it was heavy.
How could it be turned into liquid?
Cai Ling’ er couldn’t hold it in any longer. In her opinion, Xuan Yi was wasting the spiritual ingredients.
Swoosh!
She directly attacked. A beam of spirit light shot in and directly dispersed the medicinal liquid that Xuan Yi had just added. At this moment, the flames in the pill furnace licked furiously. A burning smell spread out. A clear spirit pill flew out. The color of the pill was very strange. It was not even first grade.
Xuan Yi frowned. Even though he had a good temperament, he was a little angry at this moment. “What are you doing?”
“What do you mean what am I doing? If I don’t make my move, this batch of pills will be wasted.”
Cai Ling ‘er also felt a little heartache. A newbie was indeed a newbie, wasting all the spiritual materials!
Xuan Yi frowned, and his gaze focused on Cai Ling ‘er, “I, Xuan Yi, naturally have my own thoughts when I do things. I don’t care who you are. Remember, this is the only time. If you make trouble again, don’t blame me for being impolite when I make my move!”
This girl had been pointing at him ever since he started refining pills. Now, she was even acting recklessly. Seeing that she was being kind, Xuan Yi temporarily put up with it. However, this was the only time.
Cai Ling ‘er was shocked. She widened her eyes and looked at Xuan Yi in disbelief, “You actually said that about me? I’m a fourth-grade alchemist!”
Xuan Yi took a deep breath, “Is a fourth-grade alchemist very powerful? Want to compete?”
She looked at Xuan Yi in shock. She couldn’t believe that this was a newbie who could make so many mistakes with a first-grade spirit clear pill and dared to say such words to her.
But when she remembered that the fellow called Xuan Yi was from the Xuan family, Cai Ling ‘er wasn’t surprised.
It was always like this in the Heaven region’s Xuan family.
The Cai family was already used to it.
“Alright, since that’s the case, then I’ll make you admit your defeat wholeheartedly!”
“I won’t bully you either. I’ll start with a grade one spirit pill and refine it all the way to the highest grade. If you can cultivate it to the highest grade, then cultivate it to the highest grade. How about it?”
Cai Ling ‘er raised her head and narrowed her eyes. Her long dress fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were filled with great confidence. Her smile was unrestrained.
Was a grade four alchemist very powerful?
If it was placed on her, she has reached the level of a grade four alchemist at her age, which was enough to look down on geniuses of the same age. Even those who were ranked on the imperial’s roll might not be able to compare with.
In Cai Ling ‘er’s opinion, Xuan Yi would definitely lose this competition!
