Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1079 1072: Identity Confirmed, Decision Pending

"The fusion pill is complete, and the final step is the nurturing process. During this process, everyone must be extremely cautious and avoid any impatience; otherwise, the nurtured pills might all turn into waste pills."

On the stone platform within the grand hall, Liu Yan solemnly spoke.

At this moment, in the pill furnace, green flames envelop ten streams of liquid, and Liu Yan used a spell seal at his fingertips to control the lowering of the temperature inside the pill furnace.

Drip~ drip~!

With Liu Yan's manipulation of the green flames' temperature lowering, those ten streams of liquid began to solidify, and then beneath the flames, they started to form into pill-like shapes.

Ten minutes later, those ten streams of liquid had all become round pill shapes.

"Pills complete, open the furnace!"

Liu Yan shouted in a low voice, and with a movement of the spell seal at his fingertips, the lid of the pill furnace instantly flew up, and a rich pill fragrance quickly spread throughout the grand hall.

With a wave of his right hand, Liu Yan dispelled the true fire within the furnace, and ten pills flew out, suspended in mid-air.

Among those ten pills, nine were round and fragrant green, emitting pill fragrance, while only one pill was elliptical and its green color was somewhat dull.

"Nine completed pills, one waste pill."

Looking at the ten flying elixirs above the stone platform, the eyes of all present shone brightly, and they were inwardly amazed.

It must be noted that during alchemy, circumstances change frequently, and even the slightest mistake can result in waste pills. Liu Master's refining of healing pills resulted in only one waste pill, which was already impressive to those present.

"Did everyone see clearly the alchemy process of this old man? As for this final waste pill, it was due to a lack of proper nurturing. Even though this healing pill is something this old man often refines, it cannot entirely avoid oversight; everyone must be more cautious in alchemy and control each step carefully."

Liu Yan slightly shook his head, then turned his gaze to the people present and said solemnly.

"Yes, Liu Master."

Everyone present responded respectfully in unison.

However, when Liu Yan's gaze swept over Qin Yang in the last row, his brows unconsciously furrowed.

"Hmm? Who are you? Among the disciples of my Bai Family Alchemy Hall, it seems there is no such person as you."

Liu Yan frowned, staring in Qin Yang's direction, speaking in a deep voice.

Liu Yan's voice caused all eyes present to turn around sharply.

"Is it him?"

In the crowd, Bai Shuang's beautiful eyes also fell on Qin Yang, a hint of slight surprise flashing across her bright eyes.

Next to her, Liu Hao also shifted his gaze toward Qin Yang.

"This is also something this old woman wants to ask, but earlier, to avoid disrupting the alchemy process of Liu Master, this old woman did not inquire."

At this time, the old woman dressed in an ice-blue robe, Bai Hanfeng, also stood up, with her cold gaze falling on Qin Yang.

Seeing both of them questioning Qin Yang, the chubby man's face changed slightly, hurriedly transmitting a message to Qin Yang: "Brother Qin, sorry for this. I thought we could just join to hear the lecture, and there are also other alchemy apprentices here. I didn't expect their reaction to be so severe."

"Liu Master, Elder Han Feng, this is my friend Qin Yang."

The chubby man immediately stood up and spoke to the two.

"Friend? Second Young Master, how come this old woman did not know you have such a friend? When did you become acquainted with him?"

Bai Hanfeng slightly frowned and asked.

"Well… I met Brother Qin a few days ago when I went to Wind Ridge Town."

The chubby man's forehead broke out with a cold sweat as he spoke.

Though he is a direct lineage young master of the Bai Family, facing the elder Bai Hanfeng, who is in charge of family discipline, he was still somewhat apprehensive.

"Second Young Master, you are becoming more audacious. Don't you know the Alchemy Hall is a critical place for my Bai Family? How could you bring someone you knew for only a few days here?"

Bai Hanfeng's voice deepened, becoming even colder.

"Elder Han Feng, it's my fault. I wanted to hear Liu Master's lecture, so I brought Brother Qin along. We'll leave now."

The chubby man cupped his hands toward Bai Hanfeng, spoke, and then signaled Qin Yang, pulling him to leave the Alchemy Hall.

"Stop!"

Just as the chubby man was about to leave, Bai Hanfeng called him to a halt.

"Second Young Master, normally this might be ignored, but today Liu Master's refined elixir is very important to my Bai Family, and this person's identity is questionable; it must be investigated before he can leave."

Bai Hanfeng said.

"Elder Han Feng speaks correctly. If this person is from the Yuan Family or Tao Family, coming to spy on my Bai Family's 'Healing Pill' recipe and procedures, it wouldn't be impossible."

On the stone platform, Liu Yan also spoke in a deep voice.

"Liu Master, this is absolutely impossible. Brother Qin is neither from the Yuan Family nor the Tao Family. Moreover, the Yuan Family already has the 'Retrospective Pill,' and spying on our 'Healing Pill' recipe and refining procedures would be of no use."

Upon hearing this, the chubby man couldn't help but speak, though his voice lowered as he concluded, for Liu Yan's expression had turned colder.

However, upon hearing the chubby man's words, those present instinctively nodded. In the past, the Healing Pill was undoubtedly a family secret known only to third-grade alchemists.

Now, the healing effectiveness of the Healing Pill is not as good as the Yuan Family's 'Retrospective Pill,' which is why Liu Yan took out the Healing Pill for explanation.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the grand hall was somewhat silent.

"Hmm, although the standing of our Bai Family's Healing Pill is not what it once was, it is not something outsiders can spy on. Second Young Master, for privately bringing an outsider to my Alchemy Hall, you must go and receive ten strokes of punishment. As for this Qin Yang, first imprison him, and after his identity is clarified, further decisions will be made."

Bai Hanfeng snorted coldly, showing authority, and spoke.

"This…"

Upon hearing these words, the chubby man's face instantly turned unsightly.

"I am merely a solitary loose cultivator. Not sure what identity this elder wants to discover, nor to what year and month the investigation will take?"

Qin Yang's brows furrowed tightly, speaking in a deep voice.

"You dare to question this old woman's decision?"

Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Bai Hanfeng's face instantly became cold.

Just when the atmosphere in the grand hall became tense, a voice suddenly sounded, and Bai Shuang gracefully stepped forward, taking two steps.

"Liu Master, Elder Han Feng, please calm down. I also know this Qin Yang, he is not from the Yuan Family or Tao Family; Bai Shuang can vouch for him."

Bai Shuang's voice was clear and icy, and as she finished, she also slightly bowed toward the two.

Seeing the usually cold and detached young lady standing up to speak on behalf of an outsider, not only the other alchemists and alchemy apprentices present were surprised, but even Liu Yan and Bai Hanfeng's faces were momentarily stunned.

Bai Shuang's words caused Qin Yang to be slightly startled, but then the corner of his mouth curved into a smile; this cold beauty actually stood up to speak on his behalf. Fortunately, the medicinal banquet last night was not in vain.
