Chapter 47 Pill Completion
Nothing unexpected happened on the way back. A few days later, Huo Yuhao and the other two returned to the Mo City Transportation Center and boarded a flight back to Black Rock City.
"How about we upgrade our alchemy level in Black Rock City on the way? It'll be perfect timing, Xiao Yan, you can refine second-grade pills now." Huo Yuhao suggested during the flight.
"Isn't that unnecessary? The Alchemist Guild doesn't offer any rewards anyway," Xiao Yan said with a smile, refusing the offer.
Where is Xian'er?
"My success rate in refining first-grade pills isn't high yet, maybe next time," Little Fairy Doctor hesitated slightly.
"How about giving it a try?" For some reason, Huo Yuhao seemed to really want to stay in Blackrock City a little longer.
"I still want to succeed on the first try." Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the badge on Xiao Yan's alchemist robe and gritted her teeth in refusal.
Sensing that Huo Yuhao's condition was abnormal, Yao Chen's soul form quietly appeared behind him and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Haha, no need to worry, don't you trust your master? Your pills will definitely be effective in one go!"
"I'm not worried..." Huo Yuhao gave a forced smile. He didn't mention the matter again and took the opportunity while the magical beast was flying in the air to take out a scroll and study it.
After disembarking from the flying magical beast in Blackrock City, the group didn't linger and plunged back into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"Master, it's clearly winter, so why is the Monster Mountain Range still so hot? In fact, the higher the altitude, the higher the temperature."
"This Dou Qi Continent has all sorts of strange places, and the reasons for their formation are mostly unknown. Perhaps there is earth vein fire hidden beneath them?" Yao Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "Perhaps it is precisely because of this abnormal temperature that this Monster Mountain Range was formed."
"Tch, you still haven't said anything, have you? If you don't know, just say you don't know. Why bother with all this useless talk?" Xiao Yan retorted.
Bang! With a crisp sound, Xiao Yan clutched the large bump on his forehead and crouched down to defend himself.
"Teacher, why do we have to go through the core area of the Monster Mountain Range first? Can't we refine medicine on the other side of the mountain range?" Little Fairy Doctor asked Yao Chen, ignoring Xiao Yan who was trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Rubbing his fist, Yao Chen said, "There are more high-level magical beasts on the back, making it relatively more dangerous. On the other side, there is only the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a sixth-level magical beast."
"Tch, I bet you old man weren't confident you could succeed on your first try, otherwise why didn't you refine it in Stone Desert City?" Xiao Yan said indignantly.
Bang! Another crisp sound rang out, and Xiao Yan's forehead was covered in bumps.
"Hiss—you weird old man, stop hitting my head! What if you make me stupid?"
This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
Yao Chen ignored Xiao Yan. Even though it was Xiao Yan who raised the question, he explained to Huo Yuhao and Little Fairy Doctor, "The Tagor Desert is the territory of the Snake People. Queen Medusa was a peak Dou Huang many years ago, and we don't know what her strength is now. Moreover, making a sixth-grade pill is quite a big deal. It's easy to attract malicious human experts if we refine the pill within the range of human activity. It's much more troublesome than dealing with magical beasts."
"Tch, they always say that Dou Huang level experts are nothing to fear, but in the end they still have to hide in the deep mountains and forests to secretly cultivate."
Bang! Bang! The third crisp sound rang out, and Xiao Yan transformed into a rhinoceros, unable to rise again.
Huo Yuhao suppressed a gentle smile and interrupted them, "Let's go."
"No need to go," Yao Chen stopped Huo Yuhao. "We'll just fly there."
"Then wait a moment, I'll make another flying artifact."
"No need, your master will take you flying."
……
As soon as they passed through the core area, Huo Yuhao and his companions saw a blue eagle circling in the sky. Upon spotting them, the blue eagle immediately swooped down towards them, letting out joyful cries.
"It's Xiao Lan!"
The group landed with Xiao Lan in an open area. Little Fairy Doctor stepped forward and preened its feathers, scoldingly saying, "Didn't I tell you to find a safe place to wait for us?"
Having understood Little Fairy Doctor's meaning, Xiao Lan let out a pitiful cry, flapped its wings, and gestured for Huo Yuhao and the others to come aboard. Once they were settled on its back, Xiao Lan spread its wings and took flight, heading towards its secret base.
A moment later, Xiao Lan landed in a small valley. Feeling the rich spiritual energy within the valley, Huo Yuhao and the others took a deep breath, their spirits lifted.
After surveying the surroundings, Yao Chen nodded in satisfaction: "This valley is almost completely isolated from the outside world, extremely secluded. What's even more perfect is that none of the magical beasts inhabiting the area are above the second tier."
"Alright, I've decided to refine medicine here." Yao Chen waved his hand, and a pitch-black medicine cauldron appeared from the Ancient Flame Ring, landing steadily on the ground. At the same time, rows of medicinal herbs and pre-refined pills were neatly arranged beside him.
Instantly, a rich medicinal aroma enveloped the small valley, making people feel somewhat intoxicated.
"Is this Master's first time using the medicine cauldron?" Xiao Yan asked curiously, examining the black demon cauldron in front of Yao Chen. "It seems that the Rejuvenating Pill is quite a challenge for Master."
For ordinary sixth-grade pills, Yao Chen would not be so alarmed, but this was the first time he had used a formula without fixed ingredients to refine a high-grade pill. Although he was confident enough in his alchemy skills, Yao Chen was still on high alert and entered a state of complete focus.
"When I am refining the Rejuvenating Pill, you should not stray far away, but carefully observe my techniques. When the pill is completed, if unusual phenomena appear in the sky, you should keep your distance to avoid being accidentally injured."
After giving a reminder, Yao Chen stretched out his palm and summoned the Ancient Spirit Cold Flame. With a wave of his hand, the Ancient Spirit Cold Flame immediately surged into the Black Demon Cauldron. Yao Chen manipulated the flames, raising the temperature and beginning to warm the cauldron.
The flames rose for a moment, and Yao Chen waved his hand at the several medicinal herbs on the ground. Instead of refining them all at once as usual, he put them into the cauldron one by one to extract their essence.
It took a full half day to refine all the medicinal herbs into a pure medicinal liquid. At this point, Yao Chen's eyes grew increasingly solemn. He waved his hand and threw the last material—the divided core that could repair soul wounds—into the medicine cauldron.
As soon as the elixir entered, the medicinal liquid transformed from the other medicinal materials immediately enveloped it, forming an irregular, pale golden embryonic elixir.
As time went by, the somewhat irregularly shaped pale golden nascent pill gradually became rounder, radiating brilliant light.
The moment the elixir burst forth with dazzling light, the three were slightly alarmed to discover that rings of energy ripples, almost tangible, surged outwards from the cauldron in all directions, stretching endlessly.
Swallowing hard, Xiao Yan hadn't expected that the formation of this sixth-grade pill would cause such a commotion. No wonder his master insisted on finding a safe place before refining it.
"Yuhao, Xiaoyan, Little Fairy Doctor, step back a bit and deal with the little creatures that are surrounding us."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao took out his flying artifact, Xiao Yan summoned the Purple Cloud Wings, and Little Fairy Doctor rode on the Blue Eagle. The three of them flew away to the surrounding area.
After the three of them finished off the low-level magical beasts that had been attracted, a powerful energy ripple spread out from the medicine cauldron. If the three of them hadn't been far enough away, they would probably have been rolling on the ground by now.
Accompanied by ripples of energy, a surge of golden light enveloped the entire valley. A thunderous explosion suddenly rang out, and then a golden beam of light, about two zhang thick, shot from the medicine cauldron into the sky!
Staring dumbfounded at the enormous blue pillar of light soaring into the sky, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but gasp. This was too much of a commotion!
"Hopefully, this won't attract any troublesome guys." Who knows whose jinx it was.
A streak of light flashed across the sky above Qingshan Town, and a woman dressed in a blue armor robe suddenly stopped, turned her head to the right, and looked towards the Monster Mountain Range.
"This feeling... someone is refining a sixth-grade pill. Could Gu He be here too? Wasn't he supposed to be looking for Guild Master Fa Ma?" Yun Yun wondered. In her knowledge, Gu He was the only one in the entire Jia Ma Empire capable of refining sixth-grade pills, and he clearly shouldn't be in the Monster Mountain Range at this time. Thinking of this, Yun Yun flew towards the source of the energy burst.
