Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill?
Just a little bit?
Jiang Yourong stared at Wang Xiu skeptically, her face full of disbelief: "For a pill of this level, the requirements for controlling magical power and grasping medicinal properties are extremely high."
"Even many alchemy Venerables who've reached the Nascent Soul Stage and whose souls and divine senses have been sublimated might not be able to refine it."
"You brat... don't you dare brag and try to fool this Venerable!"
Jiang Yourong admitted!
Wang Xiu, this stinky younger brother, truly had an incredibly strong cultivation talent; at just 15 years old, he had already reached the Core Formation Stage.
And.
From the fact he had only shown a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation before, this Core Formation Stage Second Heaven might not even be his true realm—his true cultivation could be even stronger!
But cultivation talent doesn't mean alchemy talent.
Every top-tier alchemy master in the world spends years studying medicinal principles before they can barely get started.
How old is Wang Xiu? Just fifteen years old.
While reaching the Core Formation Stage, he also mastered an even more terrifying supreme ghost Dao legacy than the 'Jiuli Soul-Nourishing Scripture'.
At the same time.
He also had profound attainments in formations!
How could he possibly have extra time and energy to research something like the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Even for her, a former powerhouse, after her soul power was greatly damaged, refining a Soul-Nourishing Pill felt extremely strenuous.
Wang Xiu?
A little brat, how could he possibly refine it?
Facing Jiang Yourong's skepticism, Wang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "For this junior to have learned the refining method of the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill, I must thank Senior Jiang you!"
Thank me?
Jiang Yourong was slightly stunned—thank me for what?
This Venerable doesn't know how to refine the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill, at most I just casually mentioned it once while refining the Jiuli Soul-Nourishing Pill.
Wait a minute.
Hiss~
Jiang Yourong's soul body trembled slightly, her expression turning complex: Could it be this boy learned it specifically because I mentioned the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill once before!
Having spent some time in the Three Purities Immortal Gate, Jiang Yourong was quite familiar with its situation.
In the immortal gate's Scripture Pavilion, the legacies of all lineages are preserved.
The pill recipe and refining method for the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill are naturally among them; as long as you spend the corresponding spirit stones and sect contribution points, you can get the recipe from the Scripture Pavilion.
This boy.
Could it be that he saw me blow up my furnace too many times, so he's preparing to learn alchemy himself to help me?
The problem is, alchemy isn't that easy to learn on your own.
Thinking of this.
Jiang Yourong gazed at Wang Xiu and asked tentatively, "You've refined the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill before?"
Refined it before?
Wang Xiu froze and said honestly, "No, this is my first time doing alchemy."
Jiang Yourong: ???
Jiang Ling'er: ???
First time doing alchemy, and you dare to refine the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill?
Where did you get the nerve?
Are you Divination Lineage disciples this insane?
Jiang Yourong was completely stunned. If Wang Xiu really heard her mention the Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill once and then went to the Scripture Pavilion to learn this pill recipe.
Then counting from the beginning until now, it's only been a few days at most. What could he possibly have learned!
Complete waste of medicinal herbs!
Wait a second!
That's not right!
This brat uses our medicinal herbs for his alchemy.
I myself feel like crying when my furnaces explode from refining pills. If this clueless kid gets his hands on them and starts wildly wasting them.
Won't this Venerable die of heartache?
After all, a single Soul-Nourishing Lotus costs over three thousand spirit stones.
If you add the other supplementary herbs, the cost of refining a batch of Soul-Nourishing Pills must be at least four thousand spirit stones, right!
Just thinking about it makes my heart ache and cramp!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yourong subconsciously covered her Spatial Ring and muttered, "Don't even think about using this Venerable's Soul-Nourishing Lotus for practice!"
"This Venerable!"
"This Venerable has already found the root cause of the furnace explosion. As long as... as long as I refine it one more time, I can successfully make the Jiuli Soul-Nourishing Pill. I don't need your help."
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to host for gaining magical power +66.]
Wang Xiu said helplessly, "Senior, please believe me!"
Jiang Yourong shook her head repeatedly: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen. You've already sold the Soul-Nourishing Lotus to me, so it's mine. I... I'm not refining it anymore."
"This Venerable will just eat it raw, chew the petals directly, is that okay?"
Looking at Wang Xiu's smiling face, as if saying 'give me the herbs, I'll ruin them all,' Jiang Yourong felt a deep sense of fear.
These are all the rations this Venerable needs to restore soul power and survive!
Pfft～
Looking at the terrified Jiang Yourong, whose soul body was trembling, Wang Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
So be it.
Anyway, he still had a few Soul-Nourishing Lotuses left. Rather than letting them gather dust in his Spatial Ring, he might as well take this opportunity to refine them.
Thinking of this.
Wang Xiu no longer forced Jiang Yourong and directly took out a Soul-Nourishing Lotus from his Spatial Ring, placing it together with the eighteen herbs, preparing to start the furnace.
Whoosh~
Four top-grade formation flags shot out from Wang Xiu's hand, planted around the Yunhua Alchemy Furnace, and in an instant, the Four Symbols Guardian Evil-Slaying Great Formation was laid down.
The power of the Azure Dragon, arrayed to the east;
The power of the White Tiger, arrayed to the west;
The power of the Vermilion Bird, arrayed to the south;
The power of the Black Tortoise, arrayed to the north!
The power of the Four Symbols, circulating and flowing!
The metal of the White Tiger gives birth to the water of the Black Tortoise, the water of the Black Tortoise gives birth to the wood of the Azure Dragon, the wood of the Azure Dragon gives birth to the fire of the Vermilion Bird.
Finally.
A brilliant, incomparably bright Vermilion Bird Spirit Flame rose from the center of the Four Symbols Guardian Evil-Slaying Great Formation, enveloping the Yunhua Alchemy Furnace within it.
Of course.
This was not the complete form of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire, but merely using the Four Symbols Formation to borrow a wisp of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire's power.
However, even with only some of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire's characteristics, it was far more powerful than the alchemy flames of ordinary Core Formation Stage or even Golden Core Stage cultivators.
For alchemy, it had the effect of doubling the results with half the effort!
After using the Vermilion Bird Spirit Flame to bake the Yunhua Alchemy Furnace for a while, raising the furnace's temperature and cleaning out the previous alchemy explosion dregs, Wang Xiu began formal alchemy.
Bu Yao Pa~
Wang Xiu made a sword with his fingers.
A swaying spiritual flower shot out, flying into the alchemy furnace.
Next was the test of mastering the flame timing; this type of floral spiritual herb was relatively fragile.
If the flame was even slightly too fierce, or the baking time even a moment too long, it would directly turn to ash in the flames, or its medicinal properties would dissipate greatly.
However.
In Wang Xiu's hands, the roasting and tempering of the Bu Yao Pa had no difficulty or accidents at all. In just a few breaths, that spiritual flower completely disappeared in the alchemy furnace.
In its place was a pinkish-red **, crystal clear, exuding a faint fragrance.
**Surrounding it.
Clusters of brilliant Vermilion Bird Spirit Flames floated, maintaining the perfect distance, further purifying the medicinal power, refining out excess impurities, and then expelling them from the furnace.
Yongli Grass!
The crimson medicinal herb was thrown into the alchemy furnace by Wang Xiu. This herb had extremely hot properties and was a fire-type medicinal material, so the temperature for tempering it was much higher than that of the Bu Yao Pa.
The steady approach was generally to first extract the Bu Yao Pa's medicinal liquid from the alchemy furnace before roasting and tempering the Yongli Grass.
However.
Wang Xiu did not do this. Instead, he directly ignited another Vermilion Bird Spirit Flame within the Yunhua Alchemy Furnace, enveloping the Yongli Grass within it, crazily roasting it at the highest temperature.
What was unbelievable was.
Although the temperature of that Vermilion Bird Spirit Flame was at its extreme, causing the Yongli Grass to turn into crimson medicinal liquid in a short moment, not a single bit of temperature overflowed.
The Bu Yao Pa medicinal liquid, right beside it, remained crystal clear and bright, its medicinal properties not the least bit damaged by the nearby high temperature.
One can imagine how perfectly Wang Xiu controlled the flame timing.
Next.
Sui Ran Teng...
Han Hen Shuang...
All sorts of spiritual herbs with completely different medicinal properties, even ones that were polar opposites, were thrown into the alchemy furnace by Wang Xiu one by one.
All the spiritual herbs were being roasted and refined in an orderly manner, turning into streams of pure medicinal liquids that steadily floated in various parts of the furnace, emitting a gentle glow.
At this moment, Wang Xiu's mind was completely immersed in alchemy, utterly focused.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water, incredibly harmonious; every gesture seemed to contain the profound mysteries of the Dao of Alchemy, giving a sense of artistry that approached the Dao, making people can't help but feel yearning.
Jiang Ling'er stared blankly at Wang Xiu, her face filled with a silly smile, no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
As for Jiang Yourong, she had long been completely dumbfounded.
The alchemy technique Wang Xiu was displaying right now, how could it look like his first time? Even alchemy masters who had practiced for hundreds or thousands of years might not have such an air of mastery!
This kid was really only fifteen years old, was he not some peer monster from ancient times, reincarnated?
...
Fifteen years old.
Cultivation at the second stage of Core Formation, casually setting up a perfect-grade Four Symbols Formation, borrowing the power of the four divine beasts, with a snap of his fingers could summon ten thousand ghosts to gallop, making even the remnant souls of great powers tremble.
Now.
Even the art of alchemy had reached an unimaginable realm.
Looking at the white-robed, snow-like, and incomparably dashing Wang Xiu, Jiang Yourong began to greatly doubt her own worldview.
Gu Mai?
It's gotta be a cheat's cheat, right!
