"Nothing."
Mu Jinyu's face showed discomfort, and he shook his head, not explaining much.
His heart was bleeding.
Because the pill formula he just looked at was exactly the three elixirs he had spent three hundred Contribution Points to buy from the Treasure Pavilion.
Originally, he planned to continue analyzing the refining techniques of this elixir after he finished deciphering the Rush Yuan Pill.
But because of the arrival of the Outer Gate exams, he had to put it aside for the ti being.
Who knew that the pill formula was in Elder Chen's hands, and he directly gave it to him.
Mu Jinyu felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe when he thought of those three hundred Contribution Points just flying away like that.
'Forget it, having the pill formula is even better, no need to waste Spiritual dicine, I should be content.' Mu Jinyu kept comforting himself in his heart.
Soon, Mu Jinyu adjusted his mindset and said, "Teacher, I've just reviewed a pill formula, and now I'm eager to try alchemy."
"Very well… go ahead and try it." Elder Cheng was still pondering. Even if he couldn't see Mu Jinyu refine fine elixirs, watching him refine pills was also good. So when Mu Jinyu offered to refine pills, he agreed wholeheartedly.
"There's enough Spiritual dicine in the storage bag. Whatever elixir you want to refine, go ahead and try, don't fear failure…" Elder Cheng encouraged.
"Thank you, Teacher."
Mu Jinyu expressed his gratitude.
He was hesitant, not really wanting to refine pills in front of Elder Cheng for fear of being disturbed, but thinking about how good Elder Cheng had been to him, what harm was there in letting him see the refining process?
Even if he was disturbed and the elixir failed, the loss was not significant.
Moreover, he often refined pills in front of many people on Yinlong Mountain, and although startled at tis, he didn't think there would be major issues.
Elder Cheng saw the hesitation in Mu Jinyu's eyes and understood his thoughts.
Many alchemists did not like to refine pills in front of others, fearing disturbance.
Though a bit disappointed, Elder Cheng still nodded in understanding and said, "You can refine in my cave residence; I'll step out first…"
Mu Jinyu called out, "No need, Teacher. You can stay here to guide ; this way I can learn faster."
Elder Cheng froze upon hearing this, his movents stiffening, then looked at Mu Jinyu with a relieved expression.
"Alright, I'll watch from the side. I won't speak to disturb you; once you finish a batch, I'll point out any mistakes."
"Good, thank you, Teacher." Mu Jinyu nodded, then took out the best Alchemy Furnace from the storage bag Elder Cheng had just given him, and then took out the Spiritual dicine needed to refine a batch of elixirs.
"Boom!"
Placing the Alchemy Furnace on the ground with a heavy thud, Mu Jinyu raised both hands to press on the furnace, urging the Taoist fire to start heating the furnace.
While refining the furnace, making it recognize him as its master and easier to maneuver, he also familiarised himself with the furnace to avoid any obstruction during the pill refining process.
Quickly.
Mu Jinyu made the furnace recognize him as its master.
And he knew its na.
Qingyang Cauldron!
A top-grade Alchemy Furnace, said to be the best furnace in Elder Cheng's possession!
But Elder Cheng gave it to him without hesitation.
Mu Jinyu felt a bit touched.
Then, he shook his head slightly, dispelling distractions, and activated the Taoist fire again to cover the entire Qingyang Cauldron, then began single-mindedly placing Spiritual dicine into it!
The elixir he wanted to refine was called the Gathering Spirit Pill, which had a better effect than the Rush Yuan Pill, and naturally, the refining techniques were more intricate.
But these differences did not matter much to Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu was very focused on refining and did not pay attention to Elder Cheng.
But Elder Cheng closely observed Mu Jinyu's alchemy techniques, watching him competently refine the dicinal materials into dicinal liquid, then rge them…
The whole process was smooth and fluent, as if he had practiced it hundreds or thousands of tis, with such proficiency.
'How is it possible? He should be encountering the Gathering Spirit Pill for the first ti, how can he be so smooth? Could it be the Wood Spirit Root is really this suited for alchemy?'
Elder Cheng wondered silently with confusion.
Soon, Elder Cheng stopped pondering these doubts and concentrated on watching Mu Jinyu's alchemy process.
A quarter-hour later.
"Boom!"
Mu Jinyu suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of clarity in them, then raised his hand and patted the Qingyang Cauldron, and the lid flew up.
"Swish, swish!!"
Then, four round and full elixirs flew out, with dan fragrance filling the air, invigorating the spirit of those who caught its scent.
"Wow!"
Mu Jinyu certainly wouldn't let the elixirs escape; he raised his right hand and caught all four elixirs.
"So fast…"
Elder Cheng, waking from a state of imrsion, was stunned by Mu Jinyu's alchemy speed, unable to believe it.
His alchemy speed was much faster and smoother than his own!
And he directly refined four elixirs in one batch, making Elder Cheng feel deeply ashad! Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"Have you refined the Gathering Spirit Pill before?" Elder Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Mu Jinyu shook his head, "This is my first ti refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, I haven't even tasted it before."
"Then you are truly an alchemy genius." Elder Cheng replied, filled with mixed emotions, praising him and then, thinking of sothing, hurriedly said, "Spread out your hand, let see the quality of the elixirs."
"Yes."
Mu Jinyu answered, then spread out his palms.
Only to see four pristine white elixirs lying quietly in Mu Jinyu's palm, with three to four faint but mysterious Taoist Patterns glowing on their surfaces.
"This… to have three, even four Taoist Patterns on his first try refining the Gathering Spirit Pill… heavens!"
Elder Cheng's eyes bulged, overwheld by shock.
Previously, seeing the fine elixirs Mu Jinyu gave to others, he was stunned and skeptical, not having witnessed the process of such high-quality elixirs being made; the shock was sowhat lessened.
Moreover, he held so doubt whether these elixirs were indeed refined by Mu Jinyu or acquired elsewhere.
But now, Mu Jinyu brought out four fine elixirs with Taoist Patterns in one batch, completely shattering his perceptions.
So alchemy could be as easy as drinking water?
So there were so many auxiliary techniques to better integrate dicinal power?
Elder Cheng was filled with images of Mu Jinyu's alchemy process, and then he couldn't help but say, "Jinyu, I'd like to try refining a batch…"
"Alright." Mu Jinyu, seeing Elder Cheng's eagerness to try, nodded and stepped aside.
Later, Elder Cheng took out an Alchemy Furnace and started refining the Gathering Spirit Pill.
Throughout the process, Mu Jinyu occasionally reminded Elder Cheng of what to do.
However, Elder Cheng's talent in alchemy was not particularly high.
He would pause a bit after hearing Mu Jinyu's pointers, adjusting slowly, by which ti considerable dicinal power had already dissipated.
Several attempts later, more dicinal power and properties were lost.
Finally, two hours later.
Elder Cheng lifted the lid, and two Gathering Spirit Pills flew out.
He excitedly grabbed them and then held them out to inspect, seeing both had two Taoist Patterns!
"Hahaha… I can actually refine two elixirs at once, with two Taoist Patterns each…"
Elder Cheng was overjoyed.
