Chapter 37: Azure Flame Alchemy

"It really is an eight-pattern qi refining pill!" Everyone exclaimed in shock, including Qin Yuan.

In the entire Liu City, seven-pattern Medicinal Pills could be called Peerless Grade; yet now, Azure Flame had casually brought out an eight-pattern one.

Although it was an eight-pattern qi refining pill, it was just a casual gift; to Azure Flame, it certainly wasn't anything precious.

One could imagine how wealthy Azure Flame was.

Azure Flame rubbed his forehead; fortunately, knowing he might encounter such a situation, he had refined some qi refining pills. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known what gift to give in this circumstance.

That was Qin Ming's biological younger sister, the sister of the person he considered his master in his heart—how could he not have a gift?

"You are also about to be promoted to a Martial Warrior soon, so this bottle of pills is just right for you," Azure Flame said with a smile.

"What? Only eight patterns, and only ten of them? That's just half a batch, and there's no sugar added. Really…" Qin Qing muttered softly.

This was far inferior to the pills her brother gave her.

Because Qin Qing's voice was quite low, most of the people present did not hear her.

Except, of course, for Azure Flame.

He was an Expert at the Martial King Realm; although his Dantian was ruined, he could still use his other abilities, so he naturally heard Qin Qing's muttering.

His old face couldn't help but turn red. Azure Flame also knew that there was a huge gap between his strength and Qin Ming's. From her words, it was clear she had seen Qin Ming perform Alchemy.

Comparing him to Qin Ming?

Cough, cough… "Alright, I'm going to start Alchemy now. Everyone, please make some room… hm, you already have, then I'll start directly."

With a wave of Azure Flame's hand, an extraordinary-looking large cauldron appeared in the study.

With another wave, several spirit plants appeared before Azure Flame.

He sat cross-legged, and his entire Aura changed.

If he had looked like a kind and amiable Elder just now, he now appeared as an extraordinary Grandmaster.

Azure Flame closed his eyes for a moment and then snapped them open. He placed his palm on the cauldron, and instantly, flames began to appear inside.

Several Elders and Qin Yuan all widened their eyes, observing closely; this was the first time they had seen someone refine Medicinal Pills.

Gradually, the fire grew larger, and Azure Flame spoke:

"This is called warming the furnace. Only by making the temperature uniform throughout the furnace can one better control the changes in the Medicinal Pill."

Once the temperature of the entire furnace reached a certain point, Azure Flame began to slowly add the spirit plants.

"This step is to remove the Impurities from the spirit plants, making them more pure.

You should know that all spirit plants contain Impurities, and these Impurities are the toxins within the Medicinal Pills.

It's impossible to completely remove all Impurities. The fewer the Impurities in a Medicinal Pill, the more spirit patterns it will have. A perfect stage nine-pattern pill has the least Impurities, almost negligible.

This is also why perfect elixirs are the most valuable; the fewer the Impurities, the more fully the spirit plants undergo Fusion, and the stronger the medicinal effect becomes."

As Azure Flame spoke, he threw in the spirit plants one by one.

Watching the spirit plants dancing up and down inside the Pill Furnace, Qin Yuan sighed; he knew he had no talent for Alchemy.

When he tried Alchemy in the past, he could never get even this simplest step right, resulting in him being unable to condense even the most ordinary Medicinal Pills.

Alchemy looks simple, but once you actually try it, you realize just how difficult it is.

"Alright, now comes the most critical moment. Success or failure depends on this step.

The timing for pill condensation must be just right. If it's too early, the Medicinal Pills haven't undergone full Fusion yet, and what condenses will be a waste pill.

If it's too late, the Pill Fire will bake the medicinal liquid into dregs. Even if it eventually condenses into a pill, it will lack medicinal effects and contain many Impurities."

As Azure Flame's voice fell, the liquid in the Pill Furnace began to condense together, becoming individual Medicinal Pills.
