571: C571 It's Impossible to Concoct Pills

C571 It's Impossible to Concoct Pills

The selection of herbs was also the foundation of the Pill Refining Master.

The quality of a medicinal herb determined the upper limit of the medicinal pill.

Although the herbs of the Pill Mansion were of excellent quality, it was necessary to damage them during the process of transporting them.

What Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun needed to do was to pick out the herbs that were of poor quality.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, an ordinary Pill Refining Master could be refined into approximately 100 sets of Spirit Gathering Pill.

A top tier Pill Refining Master could double the amount.

In other words, 200 sets of Spirit Gathering Pill.

But Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun was different. His innate spiritual force was different from ordinary people. He could refine even more medicinal herbs at the same time.

He selected a total of 500 sets of medicinal herbs before returning to the side of the Medicine Cauldron.

After putting the five medicinal boxes away, he exhaled a breath of air and made an inviting gesture towards Ye Xu.

"Please!"

Ye Xu smiled. He had already roughly guessed what Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun was good at.

"Use numbers to win? Interesting, interesting..."

He walked to the place where the medicinal herbs were placed and casually swept a glance.

Most of the top grade medicinal ingredients had already been selected by Gongsun Xun. However, the remaining medicinal ingredients were also quite good in quality. It was sufficient to refine a high-grade Spirit Gathering Pill.

Ye Xu did not stand on ceremony. He directly took a huge medicinal box over and casually threw the medicinal herbs into the medicinal box.

When Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun saw Ye Xu's action, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a disdainful smile.

"Hehe, such arrogance. It seems like the alchemy skill is only so-so!"

Not only him, even the Pill Refining Master below the stage was pointing at Ye Xu.

"He actually did not carefully divide the medicinal herbs. Instead, he piled them together. He doesn't even know alchemy!"

"That's right. Although the Spirit Gathering Pill is simple, the five medicinal herbs all have their own measurements. It's very strict. If he is so careless, he will definitely be flustered when refining later!"

"Haha, flustered. I'm afraid that it will directly explode the cauldron. Hahaha..."

"I think so too..."

The people gathered here were all the geniuses of the ten thousand worlds, the Pill Refining Master. They had undergone strict training since they were young.

They had strict control over the refinement of every single pill.

In order to refine a pill, many medicinal ingredients were required. Each type of medicinal ingredient did not need to use all of its medicinal strength. There was a possibility that it could only be used up to thirty to forty percent of a single medicinal ingredient, or perhaps even seventy to eighty percent of its medicinal strength.

Hence, choosing medicinal ingredients seemed to be an inconspicuous but very important process.

The medicinal herbs placed in Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun's five medicinal boxes were exactly the same. It was exactly the amount of five hundred portions of Spirit Gathering Pill.

In Ye Xu's medicinal boxes were piles of herbs. The five types of medicinal ingredients were piled up in a messy manner, and it was impossible to tell how many there were.

Wait! When he was about to start concocting pills, Ye Xu would have to waste more time to differentiate the herbs. It was a huge hindrance to concocting pills.

Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Ye Xu with a ferocious smile. "Hehe, I can wait for you to divide the herbs. Don't say that I'm bullying you!"

Ye Xu smiled and said, "No need, it's no big deal. Quickly start!"

A fierce light flashed in Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun's eyes. He said with a ferocious smile, "Alright, Ye Xu. I have given you a chance. It's you who doesn't cherish it. Then let's not waste time. Let's begin!"

"Okay!" Ye Xu said with a smile.

Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun's expression changed and became extremely solemn. He opened the Medicine Cauldron and began to observe the flames.

Controlling fire was one of the foundations of the Pill Refining Master.

The temperature of the flames was very important to medicinal pills. Some medicinal pills needed to be baked at a low temperature, and some medicinal pills needed to be calcined at a high temperature.

The Spirit Gathering Pill was a medicinal pill with a constant temperature. The flame could not be high, nor could it be low.

When the flame was high, one had to suppress it. If it was low, one needed to increase the temperature.

Although the Medicine Cauldron had been burning, the flame had not been controlled. Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun had to control the flame first before he could start calcining the medicinal herbs.

He carefully sensed the temperature and found that the flame in the Medicine Cauldron was a little high. Hence, he began to slowly disperse the temperature and suppress the flame.

On the other hand, after Ye Xu opened the Medicine Cauldron, he swept a simple glance at the flame and then directly grabbed a bunch of herbs and threw them in.

Seeing Ye Xu's scene, many Pill Refining Master cried out in surprise.

"Putting medicinal herbs in without looking at the temperature, you must be crazy!"

"Huhu, he's not crazy. He just doesn't know how to refine medicine!"

"Such a high flame. If the medicinal herbs are thrown in, I'm afraid they will be incinerated in an instant!"

"What's there to compete for? I didn't even look at my head!"

On the high platform, Pill Saint Lady and Little Pill Fairy kept shaking their heads.

"This Medicine Cauldron has been calcined for several days. Currently, the temperature must be extremely high. It is possible to refine some high temperature medicinal pills. However, it is completely impossible to refine this kind of middle temperature medicinal pill!"

"That's right. Although the Spirit Gathering Pill is resistant to heat, if the temperature is too high, the medicinal ingredients would have already been incinerated before they could melt! Big sister, is this the pill refining genius that you speak of? Hehe..."

The corner of Little Pill Fairy's mouth revealed a trace of disdain.

She and Pill Saint Lady deliberately arranged for Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun to be the first to compete in order to observe Ye Xu's alchemy first.

But the result was disappointing.

Ye Xu did not know alchemy at all.

Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun glanced at Ye Xu's actions and revealed a contemptuous smile.

"Hehe, you want to fight me with this kind of alchemy skill? Naive..."

Ye Xu yawned, grabbed a large pile of herbs, and threw them into the Medicine Cauldron.

"Boom..."

After throwing the medicinal herbs into the Medicine Cauldron, the flames immediately erupted. Streams of flames rushed out of the Medicine Cauldron, and heat waves overflowed in all directions.

"Heavens, with such a high temperature, this medicinal herb should be gone in an instant!"

"Are you crazy? Such a high temperature. What kind of medicinal herbs are you refining!?"1

"It's over. I can't refine any medicinal pills!"

Seeing such a hot temperature, the Medicine Refining Master below the stage immediately let out a cry of alarm.

Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun revealed a cold smile and stopped his hand movements.

"Ye Xu, you lost!"

Ye Xu smiled and said, "I lost? Why don't I think so?"

Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun said with a cold snort, "There are Pill Refining Master on the stage and below the stage. Do you think we are all blind? Do you think that such a flame can be formed into a pill? "

Ye Xu laughed and said, "Haha, that's because you are ignorant and ill-informed. Who said that such a flame can't be formed into a pill!"

Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun laughed loudly and said, "Humph, I, Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun have been cultivating alchemy since I was young. I am familiar with ten thousand alchemy books and understand ten thousand types of medicinal pills. There is not a single medicinal pill that can withstand such heat!"

Ye Xu shook his head and did not say anything. He threw the medicinal herbs in the medicinal box into the Medicine Cauldron.

"If you don't hurry up, you will really lose!"

Pill Ghost Gongsun Xun laughed loudly.

"I will lose? Even if I don't refine a single pill, you won't be able to win!"

Ye Xu smiled and said, "Sigh, why is it that when I tell the truth, no one will believe me? Fine, you watch carefully!"

He began to form hand seals with both hands, and the flames within the Medicine Cauldron once again soared. A pillar of fire shot into the sky, and layers of heatwaves swept out.

A terrifying heat wave swept across, and the Pill Refining Master below the stage suddenly changed color.

But in the next moment, a faint fragrance drifted over.
