Chapter 1152: Refinent Process
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
"I can watch you?" Sect Master Dong was stunned.
Except for extenuating circumstances, such as Huyan Cang and Zuoqiu Haoyu demanding that Yi Yun refine pills in public, many alchemists forbade people from watching the refinent process. One reason for this was that they didn’t want to be disturbed, while the second reason was a fear that their hand seal techniques and alchemy secrets would end up being copied by others.
Dong Shaoqing had not made any such request, yet Yi Yun invited him to watch on his own. It could not be any better.
"Young Master Yi, won’t I disturb you if I’m there on the side, watching?"
Yi Yun smiled and said, "If I’m afraid of being disturbed, aren’t I dood to fail when I have to refine pills in public five days from now?"
"That is true." Dong Shaoqing was delighted. Although he wasn’t certain of Yi Yun’s skill, he was sowhat convinced by Yi Yun’s confident response.
If Yi Yun truly had no skill, he would not have agreed to make a fool of himself in public.
Yi Yun led Dong Shaoqing into the alchemy lab and closed the door. Ru’er stayed by his side to tend to him, looking sowhat like a dicine child.
Typically, the amount of ti alchemists took to refine pills ranged from several hours to several days. When the pill far exceeded the alchemist’s level, they would need to set up a massive array and take years to refine it. It could even take hundreds of years. However, such an extensive setup could only be created by alchemist sages. Typical alchemists lacked that ability completely.
In the case of the Body Cleansing Pill, it would take about three or four days to refine.
If it were any other ti, three or four days would be nothing to Dong Shaoqing. That was just a single round of ditation. But now, with his daughter’s fate hanging in the balance, he was in no mood to ditate. He watched Yi Yun’s refinent process intently.
Yi Yun took out a tiny gray cauldron that floated in mid-air. This was the Divine Alchemy Cauldron that had an incomplete array within.
"Phew–"
Yi Yun tapped his finger, causing the cauldron to ignite as he injected a wisp of the Heretical God Fire Seed.
The Heretical God Fire Seed had blended into the fla and remained inconspicuous. It entered into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron in the blink of an eye.
The Heretical God Fire Seed could penetrate the world. Typical cauldrons could not withstand it at all, but the Divine Alchemy Cauldron had accompanied the Heretical God Fire Seed for hundreds of millions of years, making it harmonize with the Heretical God Fire Seed as though they were one. When the Heretical God Fire Seed was injected into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron, it vanished completely. The cauldron’s surface remained simple and unsophisticated as if no fla had been ignited.
Upon seeing this, Dong Shaoqing fell into a daze. He had seen alchemists refine pills before, but the scene in front of him was sothing different.
Yi Yun glanced at the materials beside him. He imdiately grabbed a Yang Bizarre Flower and threw it into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron.
The Yang Bizarre Flower was imdiately enveloped by flas.
Yi Yun’s soul was presently only strong enough to control one tiny wisp of the Heretical God Fire Seed. He was already at his limit.
If he unleashed the Heretical God Fire Seed for pure destruction, such as burning down the Seven Star Dao Palace, Yi Yun could use the Heretical God Fire Seed to create an inferno sea. However, the refinent of dicine was completely different. It required extre precision.
He could control one wisp of Heretical God Fire Seed easily. If he attempted two, it would be sowhat unstable.
The fire consud the Yang Bizarre Flower, emitting the dicinal essence. The true extraction and collection of the dicinal essence did not rely on Yi Yun’s ntal strength, but on the Purple Crystal Origins.
The Purple Crystal Origins was Yi Yun’s most precious divine treasure. It had helped Yi Yun survive the most difficult period when he first began practicing martial arts. And in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven and Azure Wood Great World, Yi Yun would not have fully gained insight into the Destruction concept or obtained the Azure Wood Divine Tree’s recognition, granting him four nine-leaf Dao fruits, were it not for the Purple Crystal.
The Purple Crystal had absolute control over energy. It allowed Yi Yun to condense the Yang Bizarre Flower’s dicinal essence in his hand without any effort.
This entire process took less than a minute.
After the Yang Bizarre Flower’s dicinal essence was extracted, Yi Yun did not hesitate to throw the second herb—Glazed Interwoven Grass—into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron.
Similarly, in less than a minute, the Glazed Interwoven Grass’s dicinal essence was extracted.
Following that, he threw one herb after another into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron. Yi Yun maintained a constant speed, but this only served to stun Dong Shaoqing, who was watching on the side.
Although Dong Shaoqing could not refine dicine, it did not an he was completely unaware of what the refinent process was.
The extraction of dicinal essence from herbs was the most critical step for typical alchemists. All it took was one tiny mistake, and the herb would turn to ash.
Many alchemists would fail due to this. In actuality, the pill formation process was relatively easier.
Therefore, alchemists would be extrely cautious during the first step.
Dong Shaoqing had never heard, much less seen, soone work with Yi Yun’s speed and accuracy.
Why is he so fast? It took just a minute for another herb to be thrown into the cauldron. It was like a farm girl washing vegetables.
Soon, the dicinal essence of every ingredient was extracted.
Following that, under Yi Yun’s control, the dicinal essence began fusing together into a pill.
This process required Yi Yun to inject various Dao pattern seals.
He had already been practicing the Desolate Heaven technique since his days in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. In addition to the Purple Crystal’s absolute control over energy, it was not difficult for him to produce seals. Back at Empress Xuan’s banquet, Yi Yun had been able to perfectly form seals, impressing Princess White Fox.
One seal after another was produced by Yi Yun without any errors. With the passage of ti, the Body Cleansing Pill quickly took form.
Upon seeing this scene, Dong Shaoqing heaved a sigh of relief. Yi Yun’s seals were not as ludicrous as his thod of extracting dicinal essence, but he was still faster than the typical alchemist.
He estimated the ti passed at about twelve hours. The refinent of the Body Cleansing Pill had reached the final stages.
What Dong Shaoqing did not know was that Yi Yun had deliberately slowed down and held back.
Fifteen minutes later, Yi Yun patted the Divine Alchemy Cauldron lightly, causing the lid to fly up as a green beam of light shot out and flew directly into Yi Yun’s hand.
Yi Yun spread his palm open, and three exquisite green pills lay in the middle of his palm.
With sufficient ingredients, a typical alchemist would create a cauldron of several pills. However, the materials provided by Dong Shaoqing were limited. In addition to the fact that few Body Cleansing Pills were produced after formation, refining three pills was already near the maximum.
Upon seeing the three Body Cleansing Pills, Dong Shaoqing was overjoyed.
He had previously seen Body Cleansing Pills before. Just one look at the three pills, full in color with patterns shimring on the surface, and he knew that they were definitely superior Body Cleansing Pills.
He would’ve already been satisfied if there was only one, pleasantly surprised if there were two. He never even thought of getting three.
"Take them all."
Yi Yun took out a jade box and placed the three pills into it.
"Young Master Yi, Grandmaster Yi...I just need one. The other two were refined from Grandmaster Yi’s extraordinary alchemy technique. They should be left with you."
Dong Shaoqing was so excited that his form of address had also changed.
Yi Yun shook his head. Although the Body Cleansing Pill was of value to him, it wasn’t that great. Furthermore, he had already received the Skydew Grass that was extrely rare. He felt that he had already taken advantage of Dong Shaoqing, so Yi Yun naturally did not want the excess Body Cleansing Pills.
