"Miss, can this be considered alchemy?"
Suddenly, Qiao Qiao felt like she might have overestimated Ling Feng before. His medical skills are indeed impressive, and he has decent martial talent, but when it comes to alchemy...
Can this be considered alchemy?
"Uh..." Yue Yunlan faltered, her silence lingering. Though she wished to speak up in defense of Ling Feng, no matter how one looked at it, even as a complete novice in alchemy like herself, these rough techniques didn't seem capable of producing any quality medicinal pills.
As for Yuan Qiansheng and Wen Tingguang, both remained silent without uttering a word.
Ling Feng didn't seem like someone who did not understand his own abilities. However, based on this series of actions, Wen Tingguang couldn't help but feel that he, himself, could be considered a grandmaster in alchemy.
Another half an hour passed.
Finally, Ling Feng set down the ingredients in his hands, wearing an indifferent expression. "Alright, Elder Li, you can start the pill collection process."
"Pill collection..."
Elder Li pursed his lips. Is it even necessary to start the pill collection process? What kind of pill can he collect from this?
However, he didn't say much and, as per Ling Feng's instructions, activated his true essence, slowly opening the furnace.
In every step, he followed Ling Feng's instructions. Therefore, even if the medicinal pills were ruined, it had nothing to do with him.
He really wanted to see if Ling Feng's expression would remain as calm and composed as it was now, when he discovered the rapidly charred mess inside the furnace.
However, in the moment the furnace was opened, a heavenly fragrance of medicinal pills wafted into the air, hitting Elder Li's face directly, prompting him to uncontrollably take in a few more sniffs.
"How is this possible? How is there still a medicinal fragrance? Shouldn't there only be charred remains inside the furnace? Impossible, this cannot be!"
Elder Li, with a hint of disbelief, cautiously peered into the furnace. His eyes nearly popped out when he took a look inside.
"I-Is it successfully refined? How could this be possible?"
At the bottom of the alchemical furnace lay two pills, one large and one small, emitting an immensely rich fragrance. Even with Elder Li's discerning eyes, it was evident that these pills were of superior quality in terms of both aroma and color.
"What? It's a success?"
Yuan Qiansheng, Wen Tingguang, and Yue Yunlan's attendants, all stood still in astonishment.
Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao exchanged glances, both staring at Ling Feng as if witnessing a monster. This seemed to defy all common sense!
Yuan Qiansheng took a quick step forward, and upon seeing the pills inside the pill furnace, he, like Elder Li, stood there dumbfounded, as if witnessing a miracle.
They couldn't fathom how Lingfeng's unconventional method of alchemy could actually produce pills. Moreover, it seemed he had managed to create one and a half Divine Essence Pills from just one set of ingredients.
That half a pill should not be underestimated. Only a very few alchemy grandmasters can precisely harness the medicinal properties within the ingredients to create additional supplementary pills.
While the two of them were still in shock, Ling Feng had already stored the two pills, one large and one small, into his storage ring without any hesitation.
According to the agreement, these two pills undoubtedly belonged to him, providing substantial benefits. Therefore, he had no intention of sharing them with others.
Having handed over the prescription to Elder Li and the others, he believed that with their expertise, concocting the Divine Essence Pills wouldn't be too challenging.
"Next, let's refine the second type of pill," Ling Feng collected his focus and said slowly, "Elder Li, please continue regulating the fire. I've already dealt with all the poisonous herbs, so what we'll produce now won't be toxic pills but medicinal ones."
Ling Feng, as he spoke, began to toss the pills containing potent toxicity one by one into the pill furnace.
Elder Li and Yuan Qiansheng watched with trepidation.
Heartbreak Grass!
Hundred-step Silkworm!
Golden Orb Web Spider Venom Sac!
...
Every material in here was lethally poisonous. Handling them so casually, could the pill produced really heal Yuan Qiansheng's injuries?
However, due to Ling Feng's extraordinary performance just now, Elder Li didn't waste any words. He carefully observed Ling Feng's techniques and noticed that when he threw the materials into the alchemy furnace, although it seemed haphazard, he actually lightly touched and pressed them with his fingertips.
This time, Elder Li dared not underestimate Ling Feng anymore. Following Ling Feng's guidance diligently, after a short time, Ling Feng nodded and said, "Alright, you can start the furnace."
"Alright." Elder Li, with a hint of anticipation, wondered what kind of surprise Ling Feng would bring him this time.
Upon opening the furnace, Elder Li furrowed his brows.
"Pfft pfft... It stinks so bad, so bad!"
A strong stench wafted from the furnace. Inside the furnace, a peculiar pill, resembling a blob of mucus, lay solitary and forlorn.
The surface of the pill was pockmarked, and it glistened with a sickly green hue. At a glance, it looked more like poison than a medicinal pill.
"Cough, cough... Ling Feng, my young friend, it seems this batch has turned out to be a failure, hasn't it?" Elder Li turned to look at Ling Feng, chuckling awkwardly.
Yuan Qiansheng also concurred. He was certain he couldn't bring himself to consume such a pill.
"No, the heat was just right." Ling Feng shook his head. He then took out the greenish thing and handed it to Yuan Qiansheng. He said calmly, "Master Yuan, this is the Malevolent Elemental Pill I refined for you. It can dispel the malevolent cold qi in your body."
"This..." Yuan Qiansheng took the pill, his hand trembling slightly. He even felt the impulse to give Ling Feng a couple of slaps.
Is this thing edible for humans?
Seeing Yuan Qiansheng hesitating to swallow the pill, Ling Feng shrugged slightly and said, "Master Yuan, rest assured. Once you take this pill, it will surely cure your ailment."
"Hehe, thank you, thank you..."
Yuan Qiansheng's mouth twitched involuntarily. After all, he had to be able to bring himself to eat it.
It smelled bad, looked ugly, and was crafted using extremely poisonous substances. If he ingested it, it might not only fail to cure his ailment but also lead to immediate internal damage.
Seeing the skeptical expression on Yuan Qiansheng's face, Ling Feng sighed. "People often judge solely by appearances, without understanding the essence. Master Yuan, I've completed the pill for you. As for whether to take it or not, it's up to you. It's getting late, and I'll take my leave now."
"Ling Feng, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just... cough, cough, I need some mental preparation." Yuan Qiansheng's face showed a wry smile. The smell alone was already overwhelming, and the appearance...
Being a third-grade alchemist himself, how could he bring himself to consume such a peculiar-looking pill?
"I understand." Ling Feng nodded slightly. "I'll take my leave then."
Wen Tingguang pursed his lips. It wasn't his concern anyway. Seeing Ling Feng taking his leave, he also smiled and said, "Well, in that case, I'll leave too. Ling Feng, I'll take you back to where you're staying."
Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao exchanged a glance and followed Ling Feng, leaving as well.
"Farewell, Elder Wen. Farewell, my lady."
Yuan Qiansheng and Elder Li accompanied Ling Feng and the others out of the main hall. Watching them disappear into the distance, Yuan Qiansheng finally took out the pockmarked pill and couldn't help but sigh.
Is this thing really edible?
"Miss, can this be considered alchemy?"
Suddenly, Qiao Qiao felt like she might have overestimated Ling Feng before. His medical skills are indeed impressive, and he has decent martial talent, but when it comes to alchemy...
