Chapter 290: Chapter 289: Instant Alchemy
The moment the Immortal Fire appeared, everyone was stunned speechless. They were all profoundly shaken. Even Alchemists rarely possessed such a powerful Pill Fire; some of their flames were even inferior to those drawn from deep within the earth.
The flame Yi Tianyun now displayed was enough to shatter their long-held beliefs. ’How could someone so young have tamed such a potent flame? What kind of background does he have? There’s no other way he could possess such a powerful fire!’
"This is perfect. Absolutely perfect!" Bright lights flickered in Ye Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes. ’He not only has an Alchemy Furnace but also such a powerful flame. This is enough to prove his Alchemy skills are anything but low.’
"Just tell me what Elixir Pills you need me to refine," Yi Tianyun said.
"Our people are heavily injured right now. We’re mainly in short supply of a fourth-grade pill, the Life-Extending Spirit Pill. That shouldn’t be a problem, right? If you don’t have the Pill Formula, we have one here," Ye Qingxuan asked.
"The fourth-grade Life-Extending Spirit Pill, right? No problem. I have the Pill Formula." Yi Tianyun nodded. "Just prepare the materials for me. The more, the better!"
Whenever his Alchemy Mastery leveled up, he would be provided with a few major Pill Formulas. The formula for the Life-Extending Spirit Pill was a mainstream one, so he had it. He wouldn’t have received one for a Rare pill, though. For example, he didn’t have the Pill Formula for the Concentration Pill.
If he did, he would have started refining them nonstop long ago. That would have definitely allowed the Merak Sect to increase its strength by a huge margin.
"Alright, I’ll have them prepared for you immediately!" A happy expression appeared on Ye Qingxuan’s face, and she hurriedly ordered people to prepare the materials.
Soon, they had prepared a large amount of Spirit Medicine Materials, bringing them over in large piles. The Spirit Race possessed many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in this forest, giving them a unique natural advantage. Even the materials for Divine Rune Paper used in Engraving Divine Patterns could be found everywhere. No wonder the Netherworld Empire was so possessive of this place. Who wouldn’t want to own a land with such abundant resources?
After selecting the materials, Yi Tianyun tossed them into the Purple Fire Divine Furnace without a second glance. Although the Purple Fire Divine Furnace looked very small, it contained a special space capable of holding a large amount of materials for refinement.
As soon as he threw them in, he unleashed the full power of his Immortal Fire. It burned fiercely at maximum intensity, instantly starting to melt the materials inside while simultaneously purging all impurities.
They all frowned. ’Using such a strong fire right from the start? Isn’t he courting disaster? It’s so easy to fail this way. Does he really know Alchemy?!’
"What is he doing? Is this really Alchemy? I have a feeling he’s going to fail..."
"He said he’s a fourth-grade Alchemist? I bet he was just bragging..."
"What a waste of such an excellent Pill Fire. If it were me, I could definitely refine an even higher-grade Elixir Pill!"
They all shook their heads. They had been somewhat hopeful, but now it seemed they were dealing with a reckless greenhorn who was just trying to show off. This was just a waste of a whole batch of materials—and fourth-grade materials at that!
Many of the elders frowned. One couldn’t help but mutter from the side, "What in the world is going on? Won’t the Elixir Pills be ruined that way?"
Even Ye Qingxuan frowned, though she said nothing. Beside her, Ye Wan’Er clenched her fists. Yi Tianyun was the person she had brought back; if he couldn’t help her clan, she would blame herself immensely.
However, the process didn’t last long. With a flick of the Purple Fire Divine Furnace in his hand, Yi Tianyun sent a batch of Elixir Pills flying out and into a Jade Bottle he held at the ready!
"All done," Yi Tianyun said, handing the Jade Bottle to Ye Qingxuan. "This is the first batch of Elixir Pills. I’m getting ready to refine the second."
"What? It’s done?!"
They were all dumbfounded. Ye Qingxuan accepted it in disbelief and poured an Elixir Pill from the Jade Bottle. A rich, pure fragrance immediately wafted out. Just inhaling the scent made one feel as if all the meridians in their body had been cleared, an incredibly refreshing sensation!
Without a doubt, these were absolutely genuine Life-Extending Spirit Pills, and high-grade ones at that!
"These Elixir Pills... they’re at least at the Third Refining Level!" Although Ye Qingxuan didn’t practice Alchemy, she could still discern the grade of an Elixir Pill.
"What?! He refined them in such a short time, and they’re at the Third Refining Level?!"
Everyone was dumbstruck, completely shocked. They had expected Wasted Pills, but who would have thought he’d produce Elixir Pills of Third Refining quality!
Elixir Pills are graded from First to Ninth Refinement. The higher the refinement, the stronger the effect. A Ninth Refinement pill is essentially refined to its ultimate potential, its medicinal effects dozens of times stronger than a First Refinement pill! However, the difficulty increases exponentially, and Ninth Refinement is basically the stuff of legends.
Very few people can refine Ninth Refinement Elixir Pills. Pills from the First to Third Refining Level are relatively common, but anything at the Fourth Refining level or higher is rarely seen. Still, reaching the Third Refining Level was already incredible, especially in such a short amount of time. For them, it was simply beyond imagination!
"There aren’t any problems, are there?" Yi Tianyun said with a calm smile. He had activated his Crazy Alchemy Mode, which increased his Alchemy speed eightfold and drastically shortened the time required.
’He knew the situation was urgent, so the sooner he could refine the pills, the better. If members of the Spirit Race died, he wasn’t sure if his quest would fail.’
After speaking, he took one of the Elixir Pills from Ye Qingxuan’s hand and popped it into his mouth.
"Ding! Successfully consumed one Life-Extending Spirit Pill. Life Force replenished by 10,000 points!"
’This Elixir Pill can replenish my Life Force, but my Life Force is rarely ever depleted, so this thing is pretty useless to me for now. With my immense Defense Power, who can even manage to hurt me?’
Yi Tianyun’s action startled them all. They then recalled what he had said earlier: that once he refined the Elixir Pills, he would try one himself to prove they weren’t poisoned.
His words sounded rather harsh in retrospect. Not only had Yi Tianyun performed the Alchemy right in front of them, adding nothing extra, but his speed was also astonishing! Now, he had even taken one of the Elixir Pills himself, leaving them all feeling extremely awkward.
"These Elixir Pills should be fine, right?" Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile.
"No problem at all! The quality is excellent!" Ye Qingxuan handed the Elixir Pills to a nearby elder and said, "Hurry and take these to our injured people! Any later and it might be too late!"
"Yes!"
They nodded hurriedly, quickly taking the Elixir Pills and departing to treat their kinsmen.
"Yi, you’re amazing! You really do know Alchemy!" Ye Wan’Er exclaimed, excitedly grabbing Yi Tianyun’s arm, her face flushed red. ’This means I was actually helpful!’
Her clan was in grave danger, yet so many were powerless to help. This was especially true for Ye Wan’Er, the Saintess’s younger sister, who felt the pressure even more keenly. She had always wanted to help but had never been able to. She had brought back a savior, only for him to be met with scorn. But now, that savior had proven to be a master Alchemist. How could she not be thrilled?
