Chapter 188: New Pill Refinement Technique, Si Ying
That night, Feng Changge brought the elders of the Phantom Blood Sect to welcome Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun.
After a celebration, the next day arrived.
“Brother Xiang, Alchemist Tao, how was your rest last night?”
Early the next morning, Feng Changge brought Huang Zongshao and couldn’t wait to find Xiang Nanchun and Xu Ning.
“Good.”
Xiang Nanchun responded. Xu Ning was standing next to him, playing the role of a follower.
“In this case, how about today’s pill refinement?”
Feng Changge was eager for the Demon Blood Great Pill to be refined. “The sooner the Demon Blood Great Pill is refined, the sooner my heart will be at ease.”
“Of course.”
Xiang Nanchun said, “I was ready a long time ago. Being able to refine a Demon Blood Great Pill is also a form of tempering for me. If I succeed, I will also have a great sense of achievement.”
Feng Changge laughed when he heard this. “In this case, I will personally take you two to the alchemy room.”
Afterwards, Feng Changge took the initiative to lead Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun to an underground entrance.
“I have already prepared this alchemy room before you guys arrived.”
Feng Changge said, “There are excellent pill furnaces, spacious rooms, and all kinds of prepared materials.”
“The alchemy room is quiet, so it should be able to meet your requirements.”
Feng Changge continued to lead them.
“Zongshao, open the door.”
They descended the underground stairs and came to a stone door.
Huang Zongshao took the initiative to step forward. His true qi surged as he pushed open the heavy stone door.
As soon as the stone door opened, the strong smell of medicinal materials and blood assaulted their noses.
“Please.”
Feng Changge led the two in.
After entering the alchemy room, Xu Ning looked around.
This place was huge, almost as big as half of Feng Changge’s stone hall.
In the middle of the room, there was a large pill furnace that was as tall as a person. There were also special wood logs to use as fuel placed under the pill furnace.
After igniting this kind of wood logs, it would emit a fragrant smoke. Not only would it not irritate the nose, but it would also allow alchemists to feel refreshed, allowing them to maintain their focus when refining pills.
Although this pill furnace and its layout were not comparable to Xu Ning’s dao weapon pill furnace, in the eyes of ordinary alchemists, this was a top-grade pill furnace.
There was also a large stone platform next to the pill furnace. On the stone platform, the raw materials were placed there.
Xu Ning roughly estimated that there were a hundred sets of these materials.
There was a pond next to the stone platform, but it was not filled with clear water, but instead dark red blood.
Xu Ning could smell that the blood in the pond was mixed with many types of blood, including the blood of various demon beasts and human blood.
The smell of blood after the stone door opened was released by the blood in the pond.
Xu Ning’s expression did not change, but a cold light appeared in his eyes.
“The raw materials for this Demon Blood Great Pill are all here.”
After Feng Changge entered the alchemy room, he first sniffed the smell of blood in the air, then explained to Xiang Nanchun and Xu Ning, “The blood in this pond is also one of the materials for the Demon Blood Great Pill.”
“The refinement method for the Demon Blood Great Pill is here.”
Feng Changge handed a piece of beast skin paper to Xiang Nanchun.
“This Demon Blood Great Pill is extremely difficult to refine.”
Feng Changge said, “It is almost impossible to refine it successfully in a short period of time, so you don’t need to feel too much pressure when refining it. There are a hundred sets of raw materials here. If you can’t refine it successfully with a hundred sets of raw materials, then ask someone to deliver more materials.”
“Okay.”
Xiang Nanchun said, “Sect Master Feng, don’t worry, we will do our best.”
“Thank you.”
Feng Changge smiled, then looked at Huang Zongshao next to him. “Zongshao, when Alchemist Xiang and Alchemist Tao are refining pills in this alchemy room, you shall personally take a few disciples and wait here for their orders.”
“Understood.”
Huang Zongshao quickly responded.
“If you have any instructions, just ask them to do it.”
Feng Changge said, “Refining medicinal pills, especially complex medicinal pills, requires a suitable environment. I won’t trouble you two here any longer. I hope you can finish your pill refinement soon.”
Feng Changge took Huang Zongshao out of the alchemy room.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Huang Zongshao closed the stone door again.
Only Xiang Nanchun and Xu Ning were left in the large alchemy room.
“Master Xu…”
As soon as Feng Changge left, Xu Ning and Xiang Nanchun’s attitudes completely changed.
“This Demon Blood Great Pill, we…”
Xiang Nanchun asked Xu Ning.
Xu Ning did not respond immediately, instead he walked to the raw materials of the pill and looked at them carefully.
‘The medicinal properties of these raw materials are all very extreme, and they will be extremely unstable during the refinement process.’
Xu Ning frowned.
Generally speaking, if it was not necessary, very few medicinal pills would use these materials.
Refining pills with only unstable raw materials was beyond Xu Ning’s understanding.
There was no such knowledge in the dao realm master alchemist’s inheritance he had obtained in the past.
‘Demon Blood Great Pill…’
Xu Ning revealed a pondering look. He then said to Xiang Nanchun, “Give me the refining method of the Demon Blood Great Pill.”
Xiang Nanchun quickly handed the beast skin scroll to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning took it and read it carefully.
‘This refining technique is quite special…’
Xu Ning’s eyes lit up.
Although the Demon Blood Great Pill was obviously a demonic pill, its refinement technique was extremely novel. It was completely different from the dao realm master alchemist’s inheritance Xu Ning had previously obtained.
‘If I’m not wrong, this Demon Blood Great Pill and its refinement method are not native to the seventeen states of the Abyss North, but from some other place outside the Endless Sea Abyss…’
Xu Ning made a bold guess.
The dao realm master alchemist inheritance that Xu Ning had inherited basically encompassed the mainstream and even subsidiary refinement methods of all the seventeen states in the Abyss North. It could be said that as long as it was a native refinement technique, Xu Ning could imitate it with the help of the Life Pill Sutra.
However, this refinement method was completely opposite from the native ones. Moreover, it was an extremely unfamiliar refinement method. Since it appeared out of thin air, the probability of it being from outside the seventeen states was higher.
‘No wonder I couldn’t find the Demon Blood Great Pill in the dao realm master alchemist’s pill scroll. So that’s why…’
Xu Ning’s doubt was resolved.
“Xiang Nanchun, you have also seen the refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill. What do you think?”
Xu Ning asked Xiang Nanchun.
Xiang Nanchun thought carefully for a moment before saying, “This refinement technique is extremely chaotic and extreme. I have never heard of it before… If Feng Changge didn’t hand it to me, I would have thought that this was a random experiment by a novice alchemist…”
Xiang Nanchun’s alchemy understanding was far inferior to Xu Ning’s. Xu Ning had already seen through the mysteries of the chaos, but Xiang Nanchun had not yet understood its essence.
‘I knew it…’
Xiang Nanchun’s words also provided evidence for Xu Ning’s conjecture.
‘The pill formula and refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill must have been obtained by Feng Changge from the mystic realm…’
Xu Ning thought to himself. ‘If that is the case, it means that the mystic realm is likely left behind by an outsider, just like the beast tamer who left the Demon Beast Scroll…’
Thinking of this, Xu Ning was tempted. He had gained a lot from the Demon Beast Scroll. If he could gain more from this mystic realm, he would definitely break through to the dao realm.
Forget about the resources, if Xu Ning could obtain the outsider’s pill refinement technique, it would greatly help his future development.
“Xiang Nanchun, start refining this Demon Blood Great Pill…”
Xu Ning thought for a moment before handing the beast skin scroll back to Xiang Nanchun.
Xu Ning was already thinking about how to find out the location of the mystic realm from Feng Changge.
“Understood.”
Xiang Nanchun didn’t know what Xu Ning was thinking, but he still followed Xu Ning’s orders.
He followed the pill formula and refinement method to a tee. He threw in the raw materials, lit the special wood logs under the furnace and began to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill.
As for Xu Ning, he stood aside and sensed the refinement process of the Demon Blood Great Pill.
One reason for this was to deepen Xu Ning’s understanding of alchemy, and the other was to see if he could do anything to the Demon Blood Great Pill.
If he could set up a hidden hand in the Demon Blood Great Pill, then dealing with Feng Changge and exposing the location of the mystic realm would be much easier.
…
At the same time.
Three figures were exploring the valley outside the Phantom Blood Sect.
The leader was a beautiful woman. She had a graceful figure, and there was a hint of charm in her eyes. If it weren’t for her cold temperament, she would definitely be able to charm thousands of men.
Behind her were two sisters. They had the same appearance and possessed similar posture. Compared to the leading woman, their temperament was much gentler.
“Senior Sister Si, isn’t it a little too reckless for us to come to the territory of the Phantom Blood Sect and destroy their base?”
One of the sisters asked Senior Sister Si.
When Si Ying heard this, she said, “The Phantom Blood Sect has spread everywhere, so it is extremely difficult to find them. It has not been easy for us to find their base this time. If we miss this opportunity and let them change the location of their base, we don’t know when we can find them again.”
“Jiang Yiyi, Jiang Lulu, you two don’t have to worry too much.”
Seeing that the two still seemed a little worried, Si Ying said, “Although the Phantom Blood Sect is famous, the actual strength of the sect is not very strong. In the Phantom Blood Sect, only their sect master, Feng Changge, is a true domain realm martial artist. But now, I have advanced to the true domain realm and have received a dao weapon from Master.”
“With my strength alone, it is not difficult to destroy the entire Phantom Blood Sect. I brought you two just to prevent those small fries from escaping, not to let you participate in the battle. You can be rest assured.”
When Si Ying said this, her tone was firm with a strong sense of justice.
As the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect, Si Ying had always regarded the eradication of Demon Sects as her mission to maintain the order of the martial world.
