Chapter 1568: Chapter 1559: Witnesses to a Miracle
Inside the great hall of the Red Fla Sect.
Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an had already ground the two horns of the Thunder Beast into powder, and they evenly distributed this powder into five porcelain bottles.
Beside Ye Chenfeng were piles of Dragon Tendril Grass, Purple Vine Flower, Water Harmony Leaf, Coagulated Fragrance Wood, and Hundred Green Fruit.
The two horns from the Thunder Beast were just enough to refine the Hundred-Thunder Pill five tis.
If all five attempts failed, then the Sect Master Zhao Lengfeng of Red Fla Sect was truly beyond saving.
The Heaven and Earth Fla, Green Fla, burned within the black dicine Cauldron.
Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, carefully demonstrated the thod to refine the Hundred-Thunder Pill in Ye Chenfeng’s mind and told him all the precautions, leaving everything up to Ye Chenfeng himself thereafter.
Now, Ye Chenfeng had no ti to pay attention to anyone else present; he was constantly recalling the refinent thod for the Hundred-Thunder Pill in his mind.
After he had mostly mastered the refinent technique, Ye Chenfeng let out a slow breath from his mouth.
Ye Chenfeng first flicked the five Spirit Grasses, Dragon Tendril Grass, Purple Vine Flower, Water Harmony Leaf, Coagulated Fragrance Wood, and Hundred Green Fruit sequentially into the black dicine Cauldron.
During the alchemy process, the order in which the Spirit Grass is added significantly affects the refinent of the elixir pills.
According to Old Bai, Wu Fengxian’s demonstration, the powder made from the Thunder Beast’s horns should only be added when the elixir pills were nearly ford.
Ye Chenfeng cautiously controlled the Green Fla.
The five Spirit Grasses inside the black dicine Cauldron burned under the Green Fla, lting visibly to the naked eye.
“Puff!” A sound.
Even the form of the elixir pills hadn’t taken shape, and a cloud of black smoke puffed out, instantly turning the five Spirit Grasses to ashes.
“Little guy, you can’t refine the Hundred-Thunder Pill this way. For pills below fourth-rank, careful control of the fla is enough. But for fourth-rank or higher, besides controlling the fla, you also must keenly sense every fluctuation in the dicine Cauldron.”
“Perhaps your fla control is decent, but you have to manage every airflow inside the dicine Cauldron. You failed earlier because the air flow in the cauldron was not under your control.”
After listening to Old Bai Wu Fengxian’s words, Ye Chenfeng adjusted his breathing.
Controlling every wisp of air in the dicine Cauldron is much harder than fla control.
The second attempt failed again.
By the third attempt, Ye Chenfeng progressed swiftly. With experience from the first two tries, he began to control every wisp of air in the dicine Cauldron.
But as the shape of three elixir pills slowly ford inside the black dicine Cauldron, the air within suddenly beca violent.
This sudden change caught Ye Chenfeng completely off guard.
Thus, once again: “Puff!” The third attempt failed.
Ye Chenfeng could not stop now.
If he stopped, the feeling he just attained would disappear imdiately.
So, Ye Chenfeng began the fourth attempt again.
This ti, Ye Chenfeng was more cautious in controlling the fla and air. As the pill shapes gradually ford inside the dicine Cauldron, Ye Chenfeng was prepared. He did his utmost to control the air inside the cauldron.
This ti, the violent air inside the cauldron cald down again.
The Hundred-Thunder Pill wasn’t a single pill, but three pills.
The successful Hundred-Thunder Pill should consist of a blue pill, a red pill, and a purple pill.
Only these three pills together can be called the Hundred-Thunder Pill.
The shape of the three pills within the black dicine Cauldron beca increasingly solid, and Ye Chenfeng knew it was ti to add the powder made from the Thunder Beast’s horns.
Because the powder from the Thunder Beast’s horns was the last to be added, he hadn’t even used up one bottle of the five yet!
Ye Chenfeng poured a bottle of powder into the black dicine Cauldron imdiately.
The three increasingly solid pills in the cauldron, upon contact with the powder from the Thunder Beast’s horns, resonated with an implicit force of thunder in the cauldron.
Under the influence of this thunder force, the Green Fla and air Ye Chenfeng controlled entirely exceeded his control.
“Puff!” Another failure.
Fortunately, the other five kinds of Spirit Grass were still plentiful within the Red Fla Sect, and four bottles of powder from the Thunder Beast’s horns remained.
Refining the top fourth-rank elixir Hundred-Thunder Pill consus an imnse amount of Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense.
After four consecutive refinents, Ye Chenfeng was drenched in sweat.
However, Ye Chenfeng knew he couldn’t stop, stopping wasn’t an option.
The fifth attempt also ended in failure!
The sixth attempt failed again!
The seventh attempt still failed!
Now, only one bottle of powder from the Thunder Beast’s horns remained. These repeated failures were all due to the last step, adding the powder from the Thunder Beast’s horns.
At this mont, Ye Chenfeng’s clothes were completely soaked, and he seed as if he had just been fished out of water.
Everyone present was on edge.
Old Patriarch of Red Fla Sect, Zeng Guangyuan said in a low voice: “Sigh, it seems the chances of successfully refining the Hundred-Thunder Pill are very low. Master is only a third-rank alchemist, while the Hundred-Thunder Pill is a fourth-rank elixir. It’s said that Nan Haosheng, Sect Master of Spiritual dicine Valley, took over two hundred years to cross from a third-rank alchemist to a fourth-rank one.”
Qian Rong’an nodded silently, agreeing with Zeng Guangyuan’s assessnt.
Zhao Lengfeng, unable to stand up, felt the pain in his body getting stronger; he had almost given up any hope.
anwhile, Sun Xiaoli and Sun Hengfei just listened silently to Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an’s conversation.
Ye Chenfeng was now in a near-trance-like state, unable to hear the sounds around him. In his mind, there were only two words: “alchemy.”
Ye Chenfeng flicked the five Spirit Grasses into the dicine Cauldron once more; only one bottle of powder from the Thunder Beast’s horns remained. This would be Ye Chenfeng’s only opportunity.
Ye Chenfeng skillfully controlled the Green Fla and the air within the dicine Cauldron.
The pill shapes slowly ford inside the cauldron once again.
Ye Chenfeng was wholly absorbed into the cauldron and poured the final bottle of powder inside.
With the resonance of lightning, the Green Fla and air within the cauldron were again on the verge of erupting.
Ye Chenfeng pushed his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense to the utmost limit, constantly suppressing the eruption within the cauldron.
This ti, the pills weren’t imdiately reduced to ashes.
As Ye Chenfeng cautiously applied imnse pressure, his Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense depleted rapidly, making his complexion pale and his breath erratic.
Ye Chenfeng knew if this continued, the Hundred-Thunder Pill would fail yet again. Inwardly, he desperately shouted, “Hundred-Thunder Pill, form, take shape!”
As if Ye Chenfeng’s inner shout proved effective.
The eruption within the black dicine Cauldron gradually subsided, and a fragrance of pills wafted out.
Soon, blue, red, and purple rays flickered within the cauldron.
As the three rays appeared, the pill’s fragrance from the cauldron grew richer.
A hint of delight appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s face; he knew the Hundred-Thunder Pill had successfully been refined. He hurriedly retracted the Green Fla back into his Dantian.
At this mont, a blue pill, a red pill, and a purple pill lay quietly inside the black dicine Cauldron.
Old Patriarch of Red Fla Sect, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an stood astounded, looking at the three pills in the cauldron. Zeng Guangyuan was utterly dumbfounded, “Master, Master really refined the Hundred-Thunder Pill? Does this an Master has directly crossed into the ranks of fourth-rank alchemists from third-rank?”
Qian Rong’an also recognized that the Hundred-Thunder Pill was successfully refined; his surprise was no less than Zeng Guangyuan’s. He swallowed nervously and said, “A fourth-rank pharmacist in his twenties? Isn’t this too unbelievable? The Sect Master and the Old Patriarch of Spiritual dicine Valley took centuries to cross into fourth-rank, yet even now haven’t reached fifth-rank!”
For the mont, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an forgot about Zhao Lengfeng’s poisoning by the Thunder Doom Elixir, for they had witnessed a miracle on Ye Chenfeng—a miracle unprecedented in the Earth Profound Realm’s history.
