Without any hesitation, Mo Xie started, he flicked his fingers as the herbs were tended imdiately. Flas started to wrap around all of the herbs simultaneously.
"This... He's not using a cauldron?"
"He's simultaneously lting the herbs as well?!"
Two elders uttered in shock, one then added: "Even if they are of low-grade herbs, they each need different kinds of heat level to lt."
"Yes, if you lt one recklessly, the essence can easily turn into gas, evaporating and being useless!"
They looked at Mo Xie like looking at a crazy person.
"Those batches... it's enough to create a thousand pills... if he continues this, then... I guess he can luckily create one?" An elder uttered in shock.
anwhile, Zhongzi frowned, and as he was having the sa thought as the rest, he suddenly shuddered, his body trembled slightly as he extended his spiritual senses ahead.
"He's lting the herbs, each with different kinds of heat... the flas he's using have different levels of heat!" Zhongzi uttered in shock.
In alchemy, using a cauldron is a rather needed thing. The placent of herbs is also carefully studied.
The hardest to lt goes first as the cauldron burns, its temperature increases, making the materials inside be in the process of lting. The last one to be placed is also definitely the easiest to burn or when the pill is about to be ford.
It's common sense, but right now, Mo Xie is shattering their commonsense!
"Different flas for different herbs..." An elder uttered while his eyes trembled to watch Mo Xie's concoction.
"There are more than forty different kinds of herbs there... to do sothing like that... how big is his brain?"
Another elder nodded his head: "The ntal strain of doing sothing like that, even an Alchemy Emperor like wouldn't be able to."
The one that spoke is Zhongzi's vice in the Tu Clan's alchemy branch, Tu Tong. Even in the whole of the empire, his rank wouldn't fall within the top 15, yet, that person said he couldn't do sothing like that? How hard will it be then?
Tu Tong then added: "No, not even a tenth of that... I can't do as much as that."
"I can at most do burn five herbs at the sa ti, but providing different temperatures..."
Zhongzi then shook his head: "Still, that's not the main point."
"Alchemy isn't just the way of lting materials for pill and potion concoction."
"You also need cultivation to do it, the stronger you are, the higher temperature you can produce, the better you can control the fla's heat."
Zhongzi paused for a bit, glancing at Mo Xie before continuing: "Different flas can co in handy, but asuring the heat needed for each herbs is the hardest part, after all, the herb's essence can definitely be destroyed... but if he can at least save 20% of the herbs' total essence, he can concoct at least two hundred worth of pills."
"I guess that's the reason why there are so many herbs needed." An elder added.
Zhongzi nodded his head: "I just hope that the impurities wouldn't be too many."
"If what I think is right, then, it's a path we can take to further increase our concocting ti."
"Elder Zhongzi, what does that an?" An elder asked in confusion.
Zhongzi cleared his throat before explaining: "Just think, we lack the manpower to produce thousands of pills a day, but the demand for low-level pills such as healing pills, antidotes, and other pills and potions that are used daily."
"If we can do what that friend is doing, even if we can only concoct a hundred pills per batch, then, we'll be able to supply more. With more demands, more custors will co, hence, our business will only grow bigger."
"Not only that, even if it's a re 10% of total concoction, we will benefit as well. We can comply with the public's demands, and we can use the rest of the day for concocting pills and potions for our own clan's disciples."
"Elder, then, we're rely breaking even."
Zhongzi smiled: "But if we beca proficient with it, we'll improve, not only that, we're also increasing our chance of breaking to a higher rank!"
"Although he's not proficient with alchemy, he's already providing us with a new path we can tackle, even if he fails, we can only thank him for enlightening us."
Hearing him, they all nodded, this new concoction technique, although flawed, is actually really useful in the bigger picture. All of the elders couldn't help but comnd Mo Xie's action, creating a path for their Tu Clan, it's definitely going to be a big deal.
But then, for so reason, Mo Xie suddenly flicked his fingers.
The flas wrapping the herbs suddenly vanished, only leaving behind different colors of liquid.
"This..." Tu Tong uttered in shock, the other elders also possess the sa expression as they couldn't believe what happened.
All of them looked at Elder Zhongzi speechlessly.
'Fail? Fail my head!'
'Even if only an essence worth a tenth is enough? Tenth your head!'
'A new path? It looked like this person had pioneered it to perfection instead!'
All of them have sothing to say in their head, but due to Zhongzi's position, they didn't, no one even dared to.
Elder Zhongzi blushed slightly as he coughed awkwardly.
He glanced back at Mo Xie again: "This ti, we should be helping as well."
"He had gathered the essence of the herbs quite neatly, I guess this is what he wants to enlighten us."
"But to completely concoct it as a pill, without a cauldron, it'll be direly tiring."
"I think we've learned enough, we should do our share and he-" Zhongzi couldn't even finish his words as Mo Xie acted again.
Mo Xie clapped and spoke: "Form!"
A small aura exploded around Mo Xie, soon, the remaining ingredients inside the drum flew up.
"Those are... Soaked ant wood?"
Soaked ant wood, its most famous use for alchemist is as a filler, known for its non-elental properties and softness. Although it's Ant Wood Tree's old bark, it's actually quite sweet as well, almost the sa as a sugar cane. It can absorb liquid quite well.
They didn't know it yet, but their eyes opened widely in the next second.
The Soaked Ant Wood was combined together, being molded into a round shape.
"Complete!" At the next second, the Soaked Ant Wood divided into a thousand pieces as all of the liquid dove into the molded Soaked Ant Wood.
Mo Xie made another clap sending another wave of his spiritual energy, solidifying everything he had done, he smiled in satisfaction and heaved a sigh: "It's complete."
He looked at everyone and at the sa ti, the pills filled the drums.
But for so reason, all of the elders, even Xuanfeng and Qianfei are looking at Zhongzi.
Mo Xie tilted his head: 'Did I miss sothing?'
Tanya who's always quiet and cold couldn't stop chuckling as she witnessed what transpired earlier.
