C1496 Forced Calmness
Before Tang Ao, Lin Fan had also used the Pill Formula to refine pills, but Lin Fan's was far inferior to his. Lin Fan's Pill Formula was learned from the Wordless Pill manual, it was too complicated, and Lin Fan himself was not proficient enough. But Tang Ao was different. Tang Ao had cultivated countless furnace pill so far, and Tang Ao had long memorized the Pill Formula set used by Shen Nong Emperor.2
Atop the alchemy table, following after Tang Ao's Pill Formula technique, the scarlet flames in the furnace also flickered nimbly. In the center of the flame, the essence of the twenty-seven spirit herbs slowly flowed. Following the change in Tang Ao's hand seals, the medicinal liquid essence immediately fused together in a specific order under Tang Ao's control. The flames within the pill furnace were also burning intensely, and the terrifying high temperature made it impossible for one to clearly see the changes that were happening within the pill furnace.
Not long after, a faint pill fragrance wafted out from the pill furnace. As the enchantment around the alchemy table had already been removed, warriors who were closer to the alchemy table could already feel this faint pill fragrance. Previously, there were four pill refiners who successfully refined the supreme nourishing pellet, but after smelling the aroma, everyone knew that the pill refined by Tang Ao was about to be ready.
However, according to the rules, the stronger the medicinal aroma, the higher the grade of the pill. If it was only based on the pill's fragrance, the furnace pill that Tang Ao refined seemed to be even worse than the one that Lin Fan refined. If it was any other pill refiner who was in a situation like this, everyone would still feel that it was reasonable.
But Tang Ao was different. Tang Ao was the dark horse of this session of Alchemy Conference, and in the first two rounds of the competition, he had taken first place in the two boards with unparalleled power. Therefore, regardless of the reason, Tang Ao's pills should not be so poor. There was no conclusion as to which pill was more difficult to refine between the two. However, most of the pill refiners preferred the Heavy Yang Pill.
Since Tang Ao was able to refine a top-grade Heavy Yang Pill, then even if Tang Ao was not familiar with refining supreme nourishing pellet, Tang Ao should not be worse than a new pill refiner, like Lin Fan. Not only were the warriors who didn't know how to concoct pills puzzled, even some of the pill refiners in the crowd were also puzzled. Even though the pill aroma could only serve as a reference for the quality of the pill, it did not have an absolute impact on the grade of the pill.
But as for nourishing pellet, normally speaking, the thicker the pill fragrance, the higher the quality of the nourishing pellet. On top of the alchemy table, Tang Ao's expression was very calm, and one could not detect any emotion from his expression. It was as if the furnace pill he refined could not affect his state of mind.
But in reality, Tang Ao was also confused. Other pills weren't too surprising, but the more concentrated the scent of the nourishing pellet, the higher the grade of the nourishing pellet. According to Tang Ao's thoughts, this furnace pill should at least be able to reach the 8-star level of a few bottles of nourishing pellet. However, after smelling this faint pill fragrance, Tang Ao himself was a little confused.
"What's going on?" Tang Ao's heart was filled with questions, but his expression was extremely calm. However, no matter how calm Tang Ao's expression was, there would still be a problem when he placed the pill into the testing stone. Tang Ao's eyes turned, and with a wave of his hand, the Black Rock Pill Furnace released a sound similar to the sound of jade colliding.
"Following that, Tang Ao waved his hand, and three pellets that glowed with a resplendent golden light were pulled out from the furnace. With a crisp sound, these three pellets fell into the jade bottle in Tang Ao's hands unerringly. Feeling the pills in the jade bottle, Tang Ao became even more suspicious. Because, under the perception of Tang Ao's soul consciousness, the spirit auras of the three pellets were very weak.
