Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1078 - 1071: Elder Bai Hanfeng

In the main hall of the Alchemy Hall, Qin Yang and the pudgy Bai turned past a stone pillar and saw the scene in the center of the hall.

In the center of the hall, arranged apart, were over a hundred meditation mats, each of them with a person sitting upright.

In the front row of these figures, Qin Yang saw Bai Shuang and Liu Hao.

At the very front of these mats, on a wide White Jade Platform, stood an elderly figure in a light green robe.

The old man's face was slightly thin, with a rosy complexion, and his brows bore a slight resemblance to Liu Hao.

At this moment, a pure white Pill Furnace was floating in front of the green-robed elder, adorned with the pattern of a Snow Lion Beast.

Qin Yang glanced at it and could see that this Snow Lion Pill Furnace was a Lower Grade Spiritual Treasure level furnace.

Beside the Snow Lion Pill Furnace was a stone platform, upon which were placed several Spirit Medicine stalks.

Behind the stone platform, Qin Yang saw a series of enclosed stone chambers, unquestioningly dedicated alchemy rooms.

"Brother Qin, let's sit down as well."

The pudgy Bai conveyed through sound.

Qin Yang nodded. Given the large number of people here, he was not inclined to enter the enclosed alchemy rooms to refine elixirs. So, he and the pudgy Bai sat on two mats at the very back.

"Refining our Bai Family's 'Healing Pill' requires fifteen kinds of Spirit Medicine, including four Third Grade Spirit Medicines and eleven Second Grade Spirit Medicines."

At this moment, the green-robed elder on the stone platform began explaining the refining of the Healing Pill.

"The four Third Grade Spirit Medicines are the Green Blood Fruit, Ice Condensing Grass, Fire Snake Grass, and Red Jade Flower."

While speaking, the green-robed elder waved his sleeve, and the four Spirit Medicines floated up from the stone platform—a green fruit, an ice-white Spirit Grass, a grass shaped like a small Fire Snake, and a gentle jade-like red flower.

These four Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines are also the primary ingredients for the Healing Pill.

"The eleven Second Grade Spirit Medicines are Hemostatic Grass, Big Leaf Purple Pearl, Blood Circulation Grass, Dandelion, Primordial Spirit Grass..."

As the green-robed elder spoke, Spirit Medicines floated up, and the people on the mats focused their attention on the ascending Spirit Medicines.

"Brother Qin, this is Liu Yan, our Bai Family Tributor, Liu Hao's father, a High Level Third Grade Alchemist."

"The ten or so people at the very front are also our Bai Family's Third Grade Alchemists. Sister Bai Shuang and Liu Hao are both Lower Grade Third Grade Alchemists."

The pudgy Bai conveyed through sound to Qin Yang.

"Hmm."

Qin Yang glanced at the figures at the front, seeing not only Bai Shuang and Liu Hao but some other middle-aged men and elders with robust auras.

As for the remaining eighty or ninety individuals, they were the Bai Family-trained alchemy apprentices, and First and Second Grade alchemists.

Alchemists, like Array Masters, may not be too rare at the First and Second Grades, but the more advanced ones are less common.

"The first step is to open the furnace for pre-heating."

On the stone platform, Liu Yan spoke, and a green flame emanated from within, instantly enveloping the Snow Lion Pill Furnace, whose lid also opened.

"The second step is to extract the essence."

Liu Yan waved his sleeve, and the Spirit Medicines entered the pill furnace sequentially, as his Divine Sense also emerged.

Inside the pill furnace, the green flame burned more intensely, enveloping the Spirit Medicines.

This step requires extracting essence from the Spirit Medicines, turning it into liquid, preparing for the third step of fusion pill creation.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yan had extracted the essence from the Spirit Medicines.

"The third step is to merge the elixir."

Liu Yan spoke, while the light in his pupils slightly condensed.

"The fusion pill step is critical; Ice Condensing Grass and Fire Snake Grass, one has an Ice Attribute, the other Fire Attribute. They cannot directly merge, or the potency of both will diminish. They must first merge with the gentle Red Jade Flower, followed by the other Spirit Medicine Liquid—Hemostatic Grass, Big Leaf Purple Pearl..."

With fingers forming seals, Liu Yan controlled the fire temperature in the pill furnace, explaining in a deep voice.

As the green flame starting blending the Spirit Medicine Liquid, spiritual power surged in the eyes of the people, who closely observed the fusion pill process through the pill furnace lens.

"Finally comes the fusion with the Green Blood Fruit Spirit Liquid."

Liu Yan said. At this moment, inside the pill furnace, ten liquid streams had formed, and under Liu Yan's control, the fruit's essence gradually merged with the ten liquids.

Whhh! Whhh! Whhh!

During the merging process, some Spirit Medicine gas evaporated out, only to vanish under the steamy green flame.

Witnessing Liu Yan's pill-refining process, Qin Yang furrowed his brow, then gently shook his head.

"What's wrong, Brother Qin?"

Beside him, the pudgy Bai noticed Qin Yang furrowing his brow and shaking his head, and asked doubtfully.

"There's something off about this person's pill-refining process and choice of Spirit Medicines."

Looking at the green-robed elder on the stone platform, Qin Yang said faintly.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Bai's face slightly changed, revealing surprise.

"Brother Qin, do you know alchemy?"

The pudgy Bai asked quietly.

"Hmm."

Qin Yang smiled and nodded.

"Brother Qin, this Healing Pill is a staple product of our Bai Family. It has a healing effect on external injuries and internal organ damage, and can recover some Spiritual Energy. We've been refining it this way for many years, and several of our Bai Family Alchemy Masters at Third Grade have always done it this way. There can't be any issue, right?"

With a curious look, Bai glanced at Qin Yang.

"But currently, our Bai Family's 'Healing Pill' has been largely overtaken in market share by the Yuan Family's more efficacy 'Retrospective Pill'."

After speaking, Bai sighed somewhat inadvertently.

"Always refining in the same way does not mean it is correct, or say, the most suitable formula."

Qin Yang shook his head lightly, looking at the stone platform.

Swish!

As Bai and Qin Yang spoke quietly, an elderly woman in icy blue robes sitting at the edge of the front rows suddenly turned her head, her sharp and deep eyes landing on Qin Yang and Bai.

"It's Elder Bai Hanfeng."

Seeing the icy blue-robed elderly woman's gaze, Bai's expression changed slightly.

"What's happening?"

Qin Yang furrowed his brow slightly.

"Elder Bai Hanfeng has spotted us."

Bai's face turned somewhat unpleasant.

The icy blue-robed elderly woman's sharp gaze lingered on Qin Yang for a moment, seemingly apprehensive due to Liu Yan's ongoing pill-refining. She did not say anything for the time being, though her gaze at Qin Yang was far from friendly.

"Who is this person?"

Furrowing his brow, Qin Yang asked.

"She, apart from Liu, is another High Level Third Grade Alchemist of our Bai Family, also managing our family's penalties, typically very imposing. Hope she won't trouble us later."

The pudgy Bai spoke in a quiet, resigned tone.
