Chapter 587 - 590: Alchemy Genius
"I have an alchemy furnace! No need for you to worry!"
Ye Qingchen glanced at the crowd with varied expressions and spoke calmly.
Oh?
Upon hearing this, both the elder and Liu Piaopiao, as well as Zhou Hai, looked at Ye Qingchen in surprise. Obviously, they hadn’t expected Ye Qingchen to actually have an alchemy furnace.
However, Liu Piaopiao quickly showed a mocking smile.
She didn’t believe that someone like Ye Qingchen could produce any decent alchemy furnace. After all, he didn’t even have the money to buy herbs and resorted to snatching them from others.
Yet.
This hint of a smile had just appeared when it stiffened completely. In her incredulous gaze, Ye Qingchen waved his hand and, with a clattering sound, a huge alchemy furnace appeared directly in the center of the courtyard.
With a rumbling sound, the ground even collapsed from the impact.
"What is this? A Saint Tier Pill Furnace?"
Liu Piaopiao was stunned.
She saw it.
This alchemy furnace stood as tall as a person, entirely engulfed in raging flames, and through the flames, they could see it was covered with a variety of intricate patterns, giving it an ancient and majestic feel.
This was indeed the Crimson Mist Cauldron, fused with meteorite fragments!
Even the elder, who had been sitting quietly like a stone statue, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a sword.
’Strange, what on earth is this alchemy furnace? Why can’t I see through it? This is not just an ordinary Saint Tier Pill Furnace. Could this young fellow truly be an alchemist?’
While the two were still confused, Ye Qingchen had already started forming a seal.
"Swish!"
From a medicine box beside him, dozens of spirit herbs transformed into streams of light and were all thrown into the Crimson Mist Cauldron!
Liu Piaopiao, who was still scrutinizing the alchemy furnace, was startled and hurriedly pulled the elder away: "Grandfather, this kid is trying to commit suicide, we better get away quickly!"
You should know.
The spirit medicine has various attributes and needs to be placed in sequence. Pouring them all into the alchemy furnace at once is like throwing a pot of boiling oil into a fire, it’s sheer recklessness.
If it explodes, even they wouldn’t be able to escape.
As she hurried out, she sneered, "I told you this kid wasn’t an alchemist, who knows where he stole this alchemy furnace from!"
As for Zhou Hai, he was even more frightened and turned pale as a ghost.
He could feel the formidable power contained within that alchemy furnace, which was accumulating like a volcano, ready to erupt and possibly raze the entire Longevity Pavilion to the ground.
"Wait! Perhaps he has a method to refine all these herbs simultaneously!"
The elder said, frowning.
"Grandfather, didn’t you tell me that refining multiple herbs at once is extremely difficult, requiring familiarity with the properties of each herb and decades of painful practice in alchemy? Do you think this kid looks capable of that?"
Liu Piaopiao tried pulling the elder away.
Indeed, this lad didn’t look like someone who could possess such skills.
However, before she could finish.
Ye Qingchen suddenly formed a seal, and the flames surrounding the Crimson Mist Cauldron surged up, transforming into nine majestic flood dragons, wrapping the cauldron entirely.
The Nine Dragons bounced, inhaling and exhaling clouds.
At the same time.
The fragrance of the pill wafted subtly.
"The fragrance of this level signifies he has already extracted the essence of those spirit medicines entirely. How is this possible!?" Liu Piaopiao’s eyes widened, utterly incredulous.
To know, she had no idea how long she had studied this technique but never mastered it, yet this boy of her age was able to execute it with such finesse.
Even the elder was reluctant to believe it.
But his main focus was on the nine-headed fire dragon draping the Crimson Mist Cauldron, watching as the dragons opened their mouths, absorbing the essence within the cauldron.
Buzz!
The essence of the pill was incredibly smooth and bright as stars, slowly forming, reaching the peak of beauty.
"This is the Nine Dragons Playing with a Pearl technique!"
In the Kunlun Realm.
The Nine Dragons Playing with a Pearl technique, while not the most superb, was extremely complex. Even among their elder ranks, usage was rare. Yet he saw it executed by a young boy.
"Could Mr. Ye truly be an alchemist?"
Zhou Hai’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Though unfamiliar with alchemy, seeing the lifelike nine-headed dragon, Ye Qingchen’s fluid motions, and the intricate rhythm of crafting the pill with the Primordial Ruyi touch,
He could sense the extraordinary nature!
"The pill is about to be completed!"
At this moment.
The old man’s spirit was shaken.
Boom!
Just then, the nine-headed Flood Dragon simultaneously raised their heads and let out cries, while the essence of the Elixir in their mouths shone brightly like nine scorching suns in the sky. In an instant, the nine-headed Flood Dragon melded into the Elixir, and dragon patterns emerged.
At the same time, the entire Crimson Mist Cauldron began to tremble violently, the lid clattering as if a colossal force within was trying to break free.
Shua!
As everyone watched, the nine clusters of Elixir essence suddenly shook, exploded the lid, and instantly transformed into nine beams of escaping light, rushing out of the courtyard!
"Haha, slow down, slow down!"
Ye Qingchen laughed aloud, slowly extended his hand to grab.
Immediately, the nine beams of light were detained by him, flying back into his palm. As the glow dissipated, nine perfectly round, golden shining Elixir appeared.
"Heavenly Grade Top! Not bad, not bad... I thought it would only be Celestial Tier!"
Ye Qingchen beamed with joy.
He guessed that the Kunlun Realm’s abundant Spiritual Qi was the reason the Elixir’s grade improved. With these nine Heavenly Grade Top Elixirs, within three days, his cultivation would return to Peak.
"It actually succeeded, and it’s Heavenly Grade Top!"
Liu Piaopiao nearly bit her tongue.
This annoying kid not only successfully refined the Elixir but refined Heavenly Grade Top Elixirs.
"Believe it now? According to our agreement, these Spirit Grass are yours to give me for free!"
He quickly stored these Elixirs into the Jade Gourd, a treasure of the Wine Sword Daoist, though Ye Qingchen didn’t know its function, he found that storing Elixirs inside not only preserved their potency but also enriched it.
Then, Ye Qingchen turned to look at the grandfather and grandson before him.
"I believe you, rest assured, my words are as good as gold!" The old man grinned broadly. Was it worth using just a little Spirit Grass to befriend such a talented Alchemist?
Absolutely!
This isn’t something money can measure.
The more he looked at Ye Qingchen, the more he liked him, so he said, "By the way, do you have any interest in learning Alchemy Dao with me? I can teach you Alchemy more profound than Nine Dragons Playing with the Bead..."
Ye Qingchen put away the Alchemy Furnace, eager to leave and find a place to retreat and heal, yet suddenly heard those words, and eyed him peculiarly, replying coldly:
"Not interested!"
With that, he turned to leave, passing by Sea of Zhou, "Let’s go, find a place to stay first!"
"Yes, Mr. Ye!"
Sea of Zhou was startled, looking at Ye Qingchen with awe. Never did he expect the powerhouse he found to be so fearsome.
If he were merely a Celestial Venerable, he’d be considered talented, but as both a Celestial Venerable and an Alchemist, that was terrifying!
He vowed.
He must hold tight to this powerhouse!
Never let go!
...
Longevity Pavilion.
Courtyard.
The old man watched the two leaving, a slight awkwardness surfacing on his face. Never did he expect that for the first time in his life, he’d consider taking a disciple, only to be refused.
"I didn’t expect one of the four great Pill Immortals, Liu Yuanzhong, to be rejected one day!" Liu Piaopiao covered her mouth, chuckling to herself, "Grandpa, why did you suddenly want to take him as a disciple?"
If the people of the Kunlun Realm knew that Liu Yuanzhong, one of the great Pill Immortals, intended to accept a disciple, surely the excitement would rival the Taotian Palace selection!
Liu Yuanzhong pondered for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Ghost Slave!"
Buzz!
Then, an unseen tremor rippled through the air.
A shadow appeared almost without warning in the courtyard, kneeling behind the old man, using a hoarse voice to ask, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Investigate this youngster’s background and origins."
"The young man’s talent is extraordinary, but he doesn’t seem to be a disciple of those other old monsters! When did such an Alchemy genius emerge in the Kunlun Realm?"
Liu Yuanzhong clasped his hands behind his back, deep in thought.
In less than half an hour.
Ghost Slave returned, handing over a Jade Pupil Scroll, "Master, here is all the information on the young man..."
"So quickly?" Liu Piaopiao was slightly surprised.
Liu Yuanzhong also furrowed his brow, though he took the Jade Pupil Scroll, scanning it with his spirit sense, and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock:
"How is that possible?"
