C1974 One Song and One Song
" Hmph!"
Facing the angry gazes of the crowd, Sha Gaang naturally didn't dare to speak. After all, if he offended the public, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stay in the ranks of Pill Refining Master anymore.
At that time, even if he obtained Great Master Zhang's Pillheart, it would be useless.
"Hmph! Brat, I don't believe that you can refine a medicinal pill that is even higher than a supreme grade medicinal pill!"
"Pretending to be pretentious, you're definitely going to lose!"
Under Sha Gaang's furious and resentful gaze, Ye Xu was not in a hurry. He leisurely picked medicinal herbs one by one.
The alchemy apprentices and warriors below the stage looked at Ye Xu's actions and felt a wave of drowsiness assaulting them.
This was too slow.
Although everyone was cursing in their hearts, no one dared to make a sound. After all, if they made a sound to disturb Ye Xu, they probably wouldn't be able to mix in the ranks of Pill Refining Master anymore. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to stay in the Heavenly Medicine City any longer.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anxiety. The way they looked at Ye Xu had also become somewhat disgusted.
Sha Gaang observed the expression on Sha Gaang's face, and his heart immediately bloomed with joy.
"Kid, you are asking for your own death. You can slowly drag it out. When everyone is getting impatient, I want to see what you can do!"
Under all kinds of disgusted gazes, Ye Xu still unhurriedly picked up the medicinal herbs. He picked up one medicinal herb and would usually observe for a long time before picking up the second one.
After a full incense stick of time, he finally managed to pick three herbs.
The Golden Crow gradually reached the top of his head. It was noon, and the temperature began to rise. Large beads of sweat started to drip down from everyone's foreheads. Heavy breathing sounds could be heard everywhere.
Many people couldn't bear the high temperature, and turned around to leave the crowd. They didn't want to see Ye Xu grinding the time anymore.
After the first person left, the second and the third person left.
Soon, almost all of the martial artists and Pill Refining Master had left the arena.
Sha Gaang was already very tired from standing. He directly sat on the arena and began to take a nap.
Only one person had been staring at Ye Xu's movements from the beginning to the end. Not only did he stare, there was also a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Eh? This kid actually knows the importance of selecting medicinal ingredients. Strange!"
Great Master Zhang stroked his beard, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"Since he knows how to pick herbs, it means that he has come into contact with alchemy. But looking at his technique, it seems very unfamiliar. It doesn't seem like he has a master. It seems like he is self-taught!"
"However, this kid does things in an orderly manner and speaks in a steady and powerful manner. It can be seen that his disposition has gone through a very harsh training. Such a person is definitely not a vicious person!"
"Since he is so confident, let me see what kind of ability he has!"
Thinking of this, the corner of Great Master Zhang's mouth actually revealed a smile.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ye Xu walked back in front of the pill furnace with five medicinal herbs in his hands.
"Ah... Is the refinement done?"
Hearing the sound of the pill furnace opening, the sleepy Sha Gaang on the stage suddenly woke up. His confused eyes looked at Ye Xu. When he realized that Ye Xu had just picked the herbs, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"What a waste of time!"
Ye Xu naturally heard Sha Gaang muttering. He smiled and did not mind. After all, he had been in the Bitter Realm for so many years. Ye Xu had seen all kinds of people. He had seen too many people like Sha Gaang.0
Ye Xu threw a piece of charcoal under the cauldron and began to heat it.
When it was hot, one could speak. Sha Gaang couldn't hold it in anymore and immediately shouted.
"Kid, are you done yet? It's just refining a Divine Strength Pill. It only took an incense stick of time, but you used two incense sticks of time just to pick the ingredients. This is too much of a waste of time!"
Ye Xu said with a smile, "The path of alchemy depends on one's heart and mind. Don't you know this superficial principle?"
"Rubbish. How can I not know? It's understandable for one to be meticulous when refining. But the first step you took to choose the medicinal ingredients took such a long time. Isn't this a waste of time?"
Sha Gaang shouted.
Ye Xu smiled and shook his head. "If you want to become a real Pill Refining Master, you must be careful with every step. Choosing herbs as the first step is the most important. You must know the medicinal strength of each herb. The age and effect are different. If you can't choose the most suitable herb, how is it possible to refine a good medicinal pill! "
How could Sha Gaang be willing to listen to Ye Xu's words? He immediately jumped up and shouted, "Bullshit! What nonsense!"
Ye Xu looked at Sha Gaang, who was flying into a rage, but only maintained a smile. He did not say anything, because he believed that there would be someone who would help him teach him a lesson.
Sure enough, Great Master Zhang's voice came from the high platform.
"You don't respect alchemy. You are not qualified to be a Pill Refining Master!"
Initially, it was fine for Ye Xu to mock him, but now, Great Master Zhang was mocking him as well. Sha Gaang felt an unnamed hellfire burning from the bottom of his heart. He raised his head fiercely. He stared at Great Master Zhang and said, "You are saying that I am not qualified to be a Pill Refining Master!"
Great Master Zhang nodded and said, "That's right. Little friend Ye Xu is right. A true Pill Refining Master will never underestimate any step of alchemy!"
"Although selecting medicinal ingredients is the first step, the quality of the medicinal strength of the medicinal ingredients can directly determine the upper limit of the medicinal pill's quality. A medicinal pill with no upper limit is undoubtedly a useless pill!"
"On the surface, it looks like Ye Xu is wasting time, but in reality, he is laying the foundation for the pill refinement later on. If the herbs are suitable, it can make the concoction process smoother. If you don't even know this, what qualifications do you have to be a Pill Refining Master?! "
Sha Gaang opened his mouth. He had been taught a lesson by Great Master Zhang, but he could not refute it. The fury in his heart had almost reached its limit.
"Humph, old man, I know you are angry because of the matter of me obtaining the Pillheart!"
"Unfortunately, you are just a mere Third Grade Pill Refining Master. Once you have cultivated to the Third Grade, you will be on equal footing with me!"
"Furthermore, I'm still young. You're already old, and your potential has been exhausted. No matter what you say now, I won't care!"
A trace of anger flashed across Great Master Zhang's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ye Xu's voice.
"Great Master Zhang, there is no need to bicker with such a despicable person. This kind of person is hopeless. Only by suppressing him with true strength can he understand some things!"
" En!"
Great Master Zhang nodded his head and looked at Sha Gaang with a gloomy expression.
"Little friend, do your best. I have faith in you!"
Ye Xu smiled and said, "Since Great Master Zhang has high hopes for you, I will be honored!"
Great Master Zhang also smiled at Ye Xu.
Sha Gaang looked at Ye Xu and Great Master Zhang singing the same tune. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water would drip out of it.
"Hmph, an old trash and a little trash. Let's see what kind of abilities you have..."
