My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1110: Master and Disciple Alchemy

After Chen Tianlong lit the fire, there was nothing left for him to do, but Tan Tian was quite busy. Chen Tianlong was also somewhat confused; he saw Tan Tian holding a large pair of tongs in one hand while cultivating Qi with the other, repeatedly transmitting Powerful Qi for two or three minutes before stopping, and this cycle continued for about half an hour.

"Master, do you need my help?" Chen Tianlong saw that Tan Tian was already sweating profusely and seemed very tired, so he became a little worried.

"No need, you wouldn’t be able to help."

Tan Tian said with a wry smile, "Because you are not an Alchemy Master, you can’t control your Powerful Qi, and if you’re not careful, the pills could be completely ruined."

"Ah? Is it that serious? Then Master, what is the principle here?" Chen Tianlong indeed didn’t understand, but seeing his master struggle like this without being able to help at all, he felt a bit anxious.

Hearing this, Tan Tian nodded. Now that the input of Powerful Qi had stabilized, it didn’t matter to be a little distracted.

"I use my Powerful Qi to maintain a constant temperature, and at the same time, allow the pills to absorb some of my Qi to consolidate their structure. After all, no matter the conditions, the temperature inside the Alchemy Furnace is not balanced enough. I must use my Qi throughout the process to make it even." Tan Tian explained the principle.

"Oh? So as long as the Qi comes from your hands, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?"

With Tan Tian’s explanation, Chen Tianlong seemed to have thought of another method, which might be difficult for ordinary cultivators, but for Chen Tianlong, it was quite easy.

The reason was simple: he could replenish his Qi continuously.

"You could say that. Do you have a solution?"

Hearing Chen Tianlong, it seemed Tan Tian believed a solution had been found.

Chen Tianlong nodded, while Tan Tian frowned. This guy seemed heaven-defying, but then he recalled that Chen Tianlong was the son of Chen Feng and felt relieved; like father, like son.

"Master, later I will grasp the pulse gate on your back. Don’t be surprised; just keep transmitting the Qi. As for how much Qi you want, there will be as much as you need." Chen Tianlong assured.

"What?"

Tan Tian took a deep breath, knowing his disciple was heaven-defying, but he hadn’t expected that Chen Tianlong could summon as much Qi as he wanted.

This was something cultivators dreamed of obtaining, but for this guy, it was as abundant as air, available in any quantity.

"Hehe, just trust me."

Clearly, Chen Tianlong noticed Tan Tian’s astonishment, so he didn’t delay further and directly grasped his pulse gate.

In the next moment, Tan Tian felt a surge of pure Powerful Qi entering his body, and he was taken aback. Recalling Chen Tianlong’s earlier words, he calmed down again.

"Tianlong, you’re actually transmitting Qi to me. Won’t it..."

"Hehe, don’t worry, my Qi recovers very quickly, and not just normally fast. Anyway, I won’t run out of Qi. Just relax, with your rate of input, you could sustain this for an entire day."

Chen Tianlong was very confident in his Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. Although the Qi he outputted didn’t match the Qi absorbed from the external world, with less in and more out, completely depleting his Qi would take at least ten to twenty hours.

Tan Tian nodded, as Chen Tianlong seemed to have a plan. This disciple never did anything he wasn’t sure about.

Since Chen Tianlong said they could last an entire day, Tan Tian didn’t hold back. Originally, he thought of completing the refinement in three hours, but to ensure the purity of the Qi Gathering Pill, he decided to double the time to six hours.

In the blink of an eye, five hours passed. It was already past five in the afternoon, and both were drenched in sweat, especially Tan Tian, who felt a bit faint.

After all, he was an old man and couldn’t stand all day like the young and vigorous Chen Tianlong.

"Master, is it not done yet?"

Chen Tianlong thought enough time had passed and asked directly.

"It’s possible, but I want the purity to be higher and the chances larger, increasing the success rate." Tan Tian felt they only had so many medicinal ingredients, and attempting a second refinement would take a long time to find the materials. Standing for one more hour might yield an extra Super Qi Gathering Pill or higher purity, which would naturally have different effects.

"Oh? I see. How about this, you hold on a bit longer, I’ll go get a chair." Chen Tianlong suggested.

"No! Now you can’t leave me; although it seems I still have Qi in me, if it breaks off, I almost can’t maintain it at all. It’s a critical moment; just in case, let’s not move."

Tan Tian was always careful. If they ruined this pile of rare materials due to temporary laziness, he would regret it for life.

Chen Tianlong nodded. To be honest, he was also a bit tired, though the Qi he output wasn’t at his limit. Standing in such a room for five hours straight felt quite restraining.

"Whew~"

With a deep sigh, the two collapsed to the ground. It was already seven-thirty in the evening.

Even Tan Tian himself didn’t know he could endure for so long; his old bones had worked hard for this Super Qi Gathering Pill.

After all, the Super Qi Gathering Pill was of significant importance. If successful, in this Celestial Pill Sect trial, Chen Tianlong could bring along the Five Elements Yinzi. This way, not only could their attributes be solidified, but they would also break through levels reaching another peak.

"Chen Tianlong, after a short rest, let’s open the Divine Cauldron to see the results. I hope it doesn’t disappoint us, as we only have one chance. If it fails, we won’t have any materials left."

Tan Tian felt a bit nervous. If they developed two pills before and succeeded with one, he wouldn’t mind.

But this time, they used up all materials, and if they failed, all efforts would be for naught.

"Yeah, don’t worry, Master. I believe we succeeded."

Chen Tianlong was full of confidence; Master Tan Tian always worked carefully, and since nothing went wrong earlier, in theory, the Super Qi Gathering Pill should have at least a fifty percent success rate.

"Alright, let’s hope for more than ten pills. Otherwise, fifteen ingredients yielding less than ten pills would count as some failure."

"Hehe, wouldn’t twenty pills be a huge profit?"

Seeing Tan Tian’s grim expression, Chen Tianlong deliberately lightened the mood to prevent him from becoming overly tense.

"Twenty pills is impossible. In all my years of Alchemy, getting thirteen or fourteen pills from fifteen sets is already heaven-defying. If it were really twenty pills, that would be like ascending to heaven." Tan Tian said with a wry smile.
