After seeing the Pill Formula in Qin Xuan’s hand, several Alchemists said the same thing to him, and even Qian Hu repeatedly shook his head, signaling Qin Xuan to switch to a different Pill Formula.
“Thank you, Seniors, for your kind intentions, but it’s fine; this Medicinal Pill is nothing to me.”
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows and spoke to the surrounding crowd with full confidence.
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, a hint of doubt flashed across Qian Hu’s and the surrounding people’s faces.
If Qin Xuan could refine a Five-Rank Pill and become a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, they could still believe it.
But to say he could refine a top-tier Medicinal Pill among Five-Rank Pills, they did not believe that.
“Young man, do not be too arrogant. A Five-Rank Alchemist and a Five-Rank Pill are not so easily refined successfully.”
“You are but a young man. So many of us old Seniors are experienced people; advising you like this is naturally for your own good.”
“I hope you don’t fail to appreciate our kindness and honestly switch to a different Pill Formula.”
Someone in the crowd quietly said this to the front.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan turned his head and stared at that person.
“Senior, do you think I cannot refine the Heavenly Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill?”
“Well then, how about we make a bet? We’ll bet one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones. If I refine it, Senior gives me one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones.”
“If I cannot refine it, I give Senior one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones. What do you think, is this good?”
“It just depends on whether Senior dares to bet with me.”
After speaking, Qin Xuan looked mockingly at this Alchemist.
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, the Alchemist immediately hesitated. He didn’t believe Qin Xuan could refine the Heavenly Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill.
But for him to bet against Qin Xuan, he truly didn’t dare.
After all, he was now somewhat unable to fathom Qin Xuan’s strength. If this person in front of him really refined the Heavenly Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill, wouldn’t he be embarrassed?
“Since this Senior doesn’t dare, then please quietly hide to the side. Don’t come out here to make a fool of yourself.”
Qin Xuan said, then turned to look at Qian Hu.
“President Qian, I will refine this Heavenly Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill. This Medicinal Pill is not too difficult for me; it’s just that I’ll have to trouble our Guild to prepare some medicinal ingredients.”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Qian Hu no longer insisted.
He nodded, then turned to look at several people.
“You all immediately go and prepare the medicinal ingredients. Remember, today you must prepare the best medicinal ingredients, and prepare several portions. You must ensure all of Qin, Little Friend’s actions.”
Hearing Qian Hu say this, the Disciples of the Alchemist Guild quickly nodded and began to act, going to nearby areas to collect medicinal ingredients.
They all understood Qin Xuan’s current position in Qian Hu’s heart, and they also understood that once Qin Xuan truly succeeded, it would benefit the entire Great Qian Alchemist Guild, and even the world of Alchemy.
Because of this, even if they were initially at odds with Qin Xuan, they were now busily scrambling to gather medicinal ingredients for Qin Xuan.
After a while, the medicinal ingredients were delivered to Qin Xuan. Seeing the hundreds of medicinal ingredients filling the space, everyone present also took a sharp breath.
The refining of a Five-Rank Pill is much more complex than that of a Rank One or Rank Two Medicinal Pill, especially in terms of the quantity of medicinal ingredients, which can almost be described as overwhelming.
Not to mention, the techniques for refining a Five-Rank Pill are even more complex.
In short, the gap between a Five-Rank Pill and a Rank One or Two Medicinal Pill can already be described as an unbridgeable chasm.
“Since everything is ready, let’s begin Alchemy.”
Qin Xuan walked to the Medicine Cauldron and waved his hand, about to begin Alchemy.
“Wait!”
Just then, Qian Hu suddenly said to Qin Xuan. He pointed to the ground fire beside them and shook his head slightly at Qin Xuan.
“This ground fire, and this Medicine Cauldron, are both relatively low-Rank items. They are of no help in refining a Five-Rank Pill.”
“Look, do you want to switch to some higher-Rank medicinal ingredients and flames? For example, I have a Spiritual Fire here that I can lend to you for a bit.”
Hearing Qian Hu say this, Qin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
“It’s fine. This Medicine Cauldron and Spiritual Fire are naturally of great help in refining medicinal ingredients, but for refining a Five-Rank Pill, this ground fire and Medicine Cauldron are enough.”
Hearing this, many Alchemists nearby also nodded. Although the Medicine Cauldron and flame have a certain bonus to the finished product of the Medicinal Pill.
The key to everything still lies with the Alchemist himself, which is why Alchemists are so precious.
“If that’s the case, then begin. Don’t dawdle here.”
Just then, Jiang Cheng, who was nearby, suddenly spoke coldly. At this moment, he could no longer hold back, staring at Qin Xuan with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could rush over and tear Qin Xuan to shreds.
“Since you’re in such a hurry to kowtow to me, then I’ll grant your wish.”
Qin Xuan sneered, then raised his hand and waved it forcefully. In an instant, hundreds of medicinal ingredients simultaneously fell into the cauldron.
“How can there be so many medicinal ingredients? Is he trying to refine the medicinal liquid from all these medicinal ingredients at the same time?”
“This might be difficult. It’s probably very hard to simultaneously extract the medicinal liquid from so many medicinal ingredients. One mistake and all these medicinal ingredients will be ruined.”
Someone whispered from the side. Hearing this, the other few people also echoed in agreement.
After all, everyone was an Alchemist, and they all knew how difficult it was to simultaneously extract so much medicinal liquid.
“Boom!”
Flames instantly surged within the cauldron. In an instant, Qin Xuan controlled the ground fire, continuously and frantically scorching these medicinal ingredients.
“A very exquisite technique. He actually used Spiritual Qi to create a barrier between the flames and the medicinal ingredients.”
“Different medicinal ingredients, different temperatures, so he used Spiritual Qi of different sizes as separation.”
“This way, the temperature generated for each medicinal ingredient is simultaneously different.”
“This kid indeed has the strength to refine a Five-Rank Pill. This technique alone is enough for him to become a Five-Rank Alchemist.”
Several Alchemists whispered, and the President of the Alchemist Guild at the very front naturally saw it most clearly.
He instantly recognized the technique Qin Xuan used for refining.
“This is simultaneous pill formation, which means using the same flame to extract all the medicinal liquid from all the medicinal ingredients at the same time.”
“However, this places very strict demands on the control of fire and Spiritual Qi.”
“Because the optimal temperature for each medicinal ingredient to extract its medicinal liquid is different, to control these temperatures, one needs to constantly adjust with Spiritual Qi and fire.”
“This requires very high demands on Spiritual Qi, unless one’s control over fire and Spiritual Qi is exquisite to the extreme, otherwise it’s simply impossible.”
Speaking of this, Qian Hu looked at Qin Xuan, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
From whom did this kid learn? He has such control over fire and Spiritual Qi.
He doesn’t at all seem like an Alchemist who doesn’t even have an Alchemist Rank.
Indeed, there are experts among the common people, it’s just that these experts usually don’t make a move.
After much thought, Qian Hu shook his head. He had repeatedly considered all the reclusive Alchemists he could think of in his mind.
But searching high and low, there wasn’t a single Alchemist who fit the description.
To even speak arrogantly, those reclusive Alchemists probably aren’t as strong as this Qin Xuan. How could they possibly teach such an outstanding Disciple?
