Chapter 1319: Chapter 1310: Greatly Shocked
Within the Illusory Realm!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Thundering explosions echoed incessantly across the vast plaza.
The plaza that was initially densely filled with dicine Cauldrons had now been reduced to only half its original number. Ye Chenfeng had already shattered five hundred dicine Cauldrons. It was no small feat, considering how intricate the crafting process of a dicine Cauldron was. In the entirety of the Earth Profound Realm’s Refining Sect, only five Human Cauldrons could be successfully crafted in a year, and that was under smooth conditions. As for the Earth Cauldron, only the Valley Master of the Spiritual dicine Valley possessed a single one. Let alone the legendary Heavenly Cauldron. Even the lowest-tier Human Cauldrons were highly coveted among the Earth Profound Realm’s alchemists. It was worth noting that not every disciple in the Spiritual dicine Valley could own their own dicine Cauldron.
In Ye Chenfeng’s right hand, a flickering Green Fla danced continuously. Despite the repeated destruction of dicine Cauldrons leaving his appearance disheveled and filthy, his spirit remained exceptionally high. Perhaps this was due to the peculiar nature of the Illusory Realm!
Gazing at the ground strewn with the shards of shattered dicine Cauldrons, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but feel a pang of sheepishness in his heart. He hadn’t expected to destroy five hundred dicine Cauldrons and still fail to masterfully control the Green Fla?
Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath, letting the air fill his chest as he strove to calm his restless heart. He knew that if he continued like this, he would end up destroying every last dicine Cauldron in the plaza without learning how to control the Green Fla’s temperature.
With utmost focus, Ye Chenfeng attuned himself to the Green Fla dancing in his palm. He slowly closed his eyes, his breathing gradually growing steady. At this mont, Ye Chenfeng let go of all distractions, his mind consud solely by thoughts of the Green Fla. Even with his eyes shut, he could sohow sense the subtle movents of the fla as though they were projected into his mind.
With his eyes closed, Ye Chenfeng flicked his right hand slightly, sending the Green Fla into another erald dicine Cauldron. The fla transford into an expansive green blaze, burning wildly within the cauldron. Before long, the surface of the dicine Cauldron began to glow red-hot, on the verge of shattering again.
With a sharp shift in intent, Ye Chenfeng forcefully suppressed the Green Fla’s temperature. Simultaneously, he attempted to inject his Spiritual Energy into the cauldron. After a brief struggle, the temperature within the cauldron gradually lowered, and the red-hot surface of the dicine Cauldron slowly faded.
When Ye Chenfeng opened his eyes again, a hint of joy flickered across his lips. Within the dicine Cauldron, the Green Fla was now stabilized at a temperature the vessel could safely withstand. He had succeeded in controlling the Green Fla.
“Little one, don’t celebrate too early now. You’ve only completed the first step,” ca a voice. The White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian, had appeared before Ye Chenfeng at so unknown mont.
Despite his words, Wu Fengxian was inwardly astonished. He had initially assud Ye Chenfeng would need to destroy every single dicine Cauldron in the plaza before beginning to grasp the thod of controlling the Green Fla. Yet, to his shock, Ye Chenfeng had already succeeded after shattering only half the cauldrons. It was important to rember—the Green Fla was no ordinary fire; it was a rare and formidable Heaven and Earth Fla!
“Kid, what exactly are you so proud of? Do you even realize how many dicine Cauldrons you’ve shattered? A whopping five hundred of them!” The Black Shadow Person, Jiang Yuntian, as usual, poured cold water over Ye Chenfeng’s brief wave of joy.
Ye Chenfeng’s fleeting excitent was swiftly dampened by Jiang Yuntian’s remark. He started to think that maybe this wasn’t worth celebrating after all.
Wu Fengxian continued speaking, “Little one, alchemy is fundantally about the recipe. Why is it that two people making the sa type of elixir can end up with vastly different results? The elixir recipe is the key.
“The sequence in which Spirit Grasses are added to the dicine Cauldron, their proportions—these factors all influence the potency of the Elixir Pills created. When there’s even the slightest deviation in the process, the results can vary dramatically. Alchemy leaves no room for error.
“Next, I will formally teach you how to refine the Han Qing Pill, a pinnacle existence among first-grade elixirs.”
As soon as Wu Fengxian finished speaking, three types of Spirit Grasses materialized beside him, forming small mountainous heaps. One of these grasses was none other than the Red Lotus Trilife Grass. The other two were the Purple Orchid and the Clear Cold Grass. The latter two were relatively common in the Earth Profound Realm and could be easily purchased.
“Little one, to refine the Han Qing Pill, you’ll need just these three Spirit Grasses. Among them, the Red Lotus Trilife Grass serves as the primary ingredient, while the Purple Orchid and Clear Cold Grass act as auxiliaries.
“However, of the three, the Clear Cold Grass is the most challenging to refine because it is extrely sensitive to high temperatures. A re slip in controlling the temperature, and the Clear Cold Grass will turn to ash in an instant.”
“Watch carefully now, little one. I’ll demonstrate how to refine the Han Qing Pill.”
In Wu Fengxian’s palm, a crimson fla ignited and danced deftly. With practiced ease, he directed the fla into a dicine Cauldron. Then, he began by throwing the Red Lotus Trilife Grass into the cauldron. The grass quickly transford into a scarlet liquid. Following that, he added the Purple Orchid, which llowed into a violet liquid with equal smoothness.
Wu Fengxian didn’t imdiately add the Clear Cold Grass. Instead, he pulled a strand of the fla from the cauldron, holding it in his palm to painstakingly refine the grass. When the Clear Cold Grass finally dissolved into a white liquid, he flicked his palm, and the translucent liquid glided into the cauldron.
The red, purple, and white liquids began to intertwine and rge within the cauldron. Under Wu Fengxian’s expert control of the crimson fla, the three liquids compressed again and again, eventually coalescing into the shape of Elixir Pills.
A faint dicinal fragrance wafted from the cauldron. When a beam of white light erged amidst the crimson flas, Wu Fengxian swiftly withdrew the fire into his body. Inside the cauldron now lay six pristine, white Han Qing Pills.
After finishing his demonstration, Wu Fengxian declared, “Alright, little one. Your turn now.”
Ye Chenfeng didn’t rush to act. Instead, he first recalled every step Wu Fengxian had just demonstrated. After ntally simulating the process five or six tis to ensure he had morized it completely, he cleared his thoughts and began his attempt to refine the Han Qing Pill.
Ye Chenfeng summoned the Green Fla into the cauldron. While carefully stabilizing its temperature, he added the Red Lotus Trilife Grass and Purple Orchid in sequence. These two Spirit Grasses were relatively easy to refine, quickly transforming into two distinct-colored liquids within the cauldron.
Like Wu Fengxian, Ye Chenfeng extracted a strand of the Green Fla from the cauldron. But the mont he tried to refine the Clear Cold Grass with it, there was a “pfft,” and the grass crumbled to ash on contact. Ye Chenfeng instantly realized that properly refining the Clear Cold Grass was the critical challenge.
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!—”
One stalk of Clear Cold Grass after another disintegrated into ash in Ye Chenfeng’s hands. anwhile, the previously ford two liquids in the cauldron were gradually being evaporated by the fla. Watching from the side, Wu Fengxian was certain Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t succeed on his first attempt.
Back when Wu Fengxian himself had already beco a first-grade alchemist, he had failed twenty tis before finally managing to refine the Han Qing Pill.
As the initial liquids in the cauldron neared evaporation, Ye Chenfeng produced another stalk of Clear Cold Grass. Forcing himself to remain calm, he ticulously adjusted the Green Fla’s temperature. Beads of sweat dripped like rain down his forehead.
This ti, the Clear Cold Grass didn’t imdiately ignite. Instead, under Ye Chenfeng’s incredibly precise control, it began to transform into a pearly white liquid. After about a minute, the refining was successful.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Chenfeng promptly directed the white liquid into the cauldron. With painstaking precision, he continued tempering the Green Fla within the cauldron. Under his careful handling, the three liquids began to slowly rge and form the shape of a pill.
A soft white glow flickered within the cauldron, and a delicate dicinal aroma filled the air. Ye Chenfeng swiftly retracted the Green Fla. To his surprise, there was just a single Han Qing Pill resting inside the dicine Cauldron. Scratching his head, Ye Chenfeng muttered sheepishly, “What a failure… I only managed to refine one.”
Wu Fengxian, who had been resigned to Ye Chenfeng’s failure, could hardly believe his eyes. Back when he first attempted to refine the Han Qing Pill as a one-grade alchemist, he had failed a full twenty tis before succeeding. Even then, he had only refined half a pill, which had been enough to earn him high praise from his ntor.
Now, seeing Ye Chenfeng achieve success on his first attempt and looking so unenthusiastic about it, nearly caused Wu Fengxian to cough up blood. Ye Chenfeng’s talent couldn’t simply be described as monstrous—it defied all comprehension.
anwhile, Jiang Yuntian, observing Wu Fengxian’s stunned expression, transmitted a ssage to him. “Now you understand how I felt last ti when I taught this brat how to refine a storage ring, don’t you? This kid is here to crush us. Back in the day, we were the undisputed top talents, and now we look like fools next to him. Seriously, compared to this kid, what even are we?”
Wu Fengxian smiled bitterly, his face filled with helplessness. Watching Ye Chenfeng’s dejected expression, he knew that in their future guidance of Ye Chenfeng, the blows to their egos wouldn’t stop coming.
