Chapter 816: The two cauldrons of yin and yang
Xia qingchen naturally knew about the ancient spiritual pill. This pill did indeed have the miraculous ability to recall the memories of his ancestors.
However, it had extremely high requirements for the refiner.
Although the ancient spiritual pill was only a quasi-spiritual pill, it could only be successfully refined by someone who was at least a leading Alchemist.
The so-called alchemy Titans were existences that were higher than alchemy grandmasters. These people could easily refine spirit pill-level medicine.
Grandmaster Hong Chen and the other two’s pill refining skills were still far from being able to refine ancient spiritual pills.
If he were to forcefully refine it and fail, the consequences would be dire.
“Oh? Does Grandmaster Xia have any advice?” Grandmaster Hong Chen laughed sinisterly, his eyes filled with disdain.
Xia qingchen leaned against the stone pillar and calmly said, “”In addition to your lack of skill, there are also problems with the materials you found. Some of them don’t belong to the recipe of the ancient pill.”
“If I’m not wrong, the pill formula was originally incomplete, and you guys took it for granted to complete it, right?”
Hearing this, the other two grandmasters ‘faces froze.
It really was like that!
When they discovered the recipe of the ancient spirit pill, only the main ingredients could be seen. There were also a few missing secondary ingredients. They had analyzed and concluded this based on their own experience.
Grandmaster Hong Chen’s face was expressionless. “I’m not good enough? Hehe, great Grandmaster Xia, why don’t you look for a Grandmaster who is better than me in the cool territory?”
“Or do you really think you’re a Big Shot?” her eyes were filled with contempt.
Upon hearing the sarcasm in her words, Xia qingchen’s expression became relaxed. “As an Alchemist, it’s best to be humble and cautious. With your personality, you’re not suitable to develop in the path of alchemy.”
The one who could truly achieve great things was someone like Yao buhui who was so dedicated.
Grandmaster Hong Chen placed too much importance on worldly fame and fortune, so it was difficult for him to achieve great things in this path.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a slightly cold voice, “”Xia qianqi, you’ve crossed the line.”
Xia qingchen looked over in the direction of the voice. It was a young man in embroidered clothes beside the Golden sedan. His eyes were deep and cold, and his face was filled with anger.
He was no other than the second Prince.
The second Prince couldn’t get away with the sudden change in the military Palace.
His eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked at Xia qingchen with a lowered gaze.”What right do you have to comment on Grandmaster Hong Chen? To put it bluntly, you can’t even compare to a single hair on Grandmaster Hong Chen’s head!”
These words weren’t just unpleasant to hear, they were extremely unpleasant.
The dignified second Prince actually said such words in public. The dissatisfaction-no, the hostility-he felt toward Xia qingchen was clearly visible.
Xia qingchen had forcefully killed Yu guitian and was considered to be going against the second Prince. It would be strange if he wasn’t hostile.
Xia qingchen didn’t think much of it. if the second Prince isn’t blind, you should be able to see that it’s Grandmaster Hong Chen who wants me to give him some pointers. I’m giving him some serious pointers, but you’re saying that I’m overestimating my abilities.
“As the second Prince, can you handle things fairly and not side with your own people?” Xia qingchen was hinting at something.
The second Prince’s eyes flashed with killing intent. How dare he criticize him in public?
But when he saw the Golden carriage beside him, he quickly calmed down.
Arguing in public would only make his father more and more disappointed in him, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
It wouldn’t be too late to deal with this minor character Xia qingchen when he had the chance.
“I’ve learned a lot.” He said this calmly and continued to drink his tea as if nothing had happened.
Grandmaster Hong Chen was even angrier at the sight of the second Prince’s defeat. He put on a fake smile. Grandmaster Xia’s standards are high. He doesn’t think much of me. Why don’t you refine this pill? ”
Who knew that Xia qingchen would reply without hesitation, “”Alright! If I were to refine it, I would have a 20% chance of success.”
Even though he had yet to reach the level of a leading fighter, he was experienced and had a certain chance of success if he tried to make it.
These words caused Grandmaster Hong Chen to be at a loss for words. Xia qingchen really dared to take over!
At this moment, a few impatient voices came from the Golden palanquin, ” Xia qingchen, an outsider like you shouldn’t say anything more. Grandmaster Hong Chen, let’s begin the pill refinement!
“Men, bring out the double Dragon cauldron,” Prince Liang said after a pause.
Double Dragon cauldrons?
Grandmaster Hong Chen and yaowang were both excited.
There were two things in the cool realm that people who practiced alchemy dreamed of-the double Dragon cauldrons!
The double Dragon cauldrons were the two divine cauldrons made by the first king Liang by collecting all the gengjin in the world. They were divided into yang cauldrons and Yin cauldrons.
The secret medicine refined from this cauldron was usually of high quality. If one was lucky, they might even have the opportunity to raise the secret Medicine’s grade to the level of a quasi-spirit medicine.
However, the two cauldrons had always been hidden in the Liang Prince’s residence, and outsiders were not allowed to see them.
Prince Liang must have felt worried after hearing Xia qingchen’s doubts. Hence, he changed his mind at the last minute and bestowed them with the Twin Dragon cauldrons to refine the pills.
“Many thanks, Liang Wang!” The two of them thanked him excitedly.
With the double Dragon cauldrons, they would be able to refine better elixirs.
Soon, two elixir cauldrons, one black and one white, with a Dragon carved on them, were sent in.
Grandmaster Hong Chen chose the black yang cauldron, while yaowang chose the White Yin cauldron.
Caressing the Yang cauldron, Grandmaster Hong Chen’s lips curled up. “Yao buhui, the Liang Prince has given you such a generous gift, you can’t let him down. You have to refine a decent secret medicine.”
Yao buhui was unmoved and was already fully focused on refining the pill.
Everyone looked over and secretly praised him. This was the attitude that a true Alchemist should have.
He was unlike Grandmaster Hong Chen, who had been jabbering on and on in order to show off his superiority.
“Hehe.” no matter how stupid a bird flies, it’s still a stupid bird. Grandmaster Hong Chen snorted. it’s hard for it to achieve anything.
She waved her hand and took a deep breath. “Let’s begin!”
Both sides began to refine pills at the same time.
The people present naturally began to compare the two sides.
Grandmaster Hong Chen’s techniques were much more experienced. Many of the ingredients were thrown into the furnace after a glance, and his every move had the air of a Grandmaster.
On the other hand, Yao buhui had to hold every single ingredient in his hands, weighing them over and over before deciding on the amount to throw into the pill furnace.
“Why is yaowang’s alchemy skill dropping instead of improving?” One of the palace Masters who had seen Yao buhui refine pills frowned.
“Mm! It was a regression! Back then, his level was almost the same as great Grandmaster Hong Chen’s. The only difference was that he could not refine quasi-spiritual pills. How come he has become so unfamiliar with us after so many years?”
They didn’t notice that every time Yao buhui picked up a material, his eyes would flash with an unnoticeable golden light.
Half an hour later, the materials from both sides had been put into the pill furnace.
The next step was to control the alchemy fire, which was the most important of all. The key to forming the elixir was to control the fire well or badly.
The alchemy fire under the cauldrons of both parties immediately burned fiercely, causing the materials inside to crackle.
Waves of green smoke slowly came out from the smoke holes of the pill furnace.
Compared to Grandmaster Hong Chen’s yang cauldron, it emitted a very thin smoke.
However, Yao buhui’s Yin cauldron emitted extremely thick black smoke, which was both pungent and blinding. In a short while, the entire Taihe Palace Hall was covered in a thick black fog, and many people sneezed.
