Chapter 49 Congratulations on becoming a ninth-grade alchemist!

Fu Huaian stood quietly to the side, observing carefully.

Qingyao's small face was serious as she ignited the Spiritual Fire and placed the Spiritual Plants in one by one.

Under her precise control, the temperature of the green flame fluctuated, and the Impurities in the Spiritual Plants gradually faded, leaving only crystal-clear Spiritual Liquid in the Pill Furnace.

Fu Huaian nodded slightly; the temperature changes of the flame needed to match each Spiritual Plant, as different Spiritual Plants required different temperatures to perfectly extract the Spiritual Liquid.

If this step was not done perfectly, and the Spiritual Liquid was missing or the Impurities were not thoroughly removed, it would directly affect the quality of the Medicinal Pill or even lead to Alchemy failure.

With Saintess Xu's level as an Eight-Rank Alchemist, refining unranked Medicinal Pills was naturally effortless for her.

She deliberately slowed down her steps, allowing the Spiritual Liquids to fuse with each other in an orderly manner.

"Sword Crown, the Fusion of Spiritual Liquids has a strict sequence; it's not arbitrary Fusion. Each type of Spiritual Liquid needs an appropriate flame temperature to maintain its full Qi.

This requires extremely high Divine Sense control; any slight mistake can easily turn the Medicinal Pill into a waste pill…"

Qingyao's voice was clear, and Fu Huaian listened attentively.

It took Qingyao fifteen minutes to fuse all the Spiritual Liquids. A shimmering white liquid churned within the Pill Furnace, entering the most crucial Pill Condensation stage.

"Sword Crown, Pill Condensation isn't difficult. Just maintain the Spiritual Liquid's abundant Qi and a suitable Spiritual Fire temperature to smoothly solidify and condense the Medicinal Pill…"

Fu Huaian had already sensed that the temperature of the green Spiritual Fire had changed from its previous fluctuations to a stable temperature.

Bang–

Fifteen minutes later, the lid of the Pill Furnace opened, and five plump white Medicinal Pills flew out, emitting only a faint herbal scent, likely because they were unranked Medicinal Pills.

Qingyao collected the Medicinal Pills and turned to look at Fu Huaian.

"Sword Crown, that's the general process. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Fu Huaian recalled for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"It doesn't feel very difficult. I'll give it a try."

Qingyao hummed softly, not quite believing him. How could one understand Alchemy just by watching once?

She rose from the cushion, stepping aside to signal that Fu Huaian could try.

Fu Huaian first took the Qi Circulation Pill's Spiritual Plants from Qingyao and placed them aside.

He sat quietly for a moment, then reached out and ignited a black Spiritual Fire.

The Spiritual Fire slowly flew into the Pill Furnace, which immediately became scorching hot!

Fu Huaian controlled the Spiritual Fire with his Divine Sense, lowering its temperature to maintain a suitable level.

Following Qingyao's previous operations, he sequentially placed the Spiritual Plants, using his Divine Sense to guide them as they dissolved in the black Spiritual Fire.

Since it was Fu Huaian's first time refining Medicinal Pills, he dared not be careless and fully focused on sensing the condition of the Spiritual Plants!

Dissolving, removing Impurities, gradually forming Spiritual Liquid…

Orderly, meticulously!

When all the Spiritual Liquids were extracted, Fu Huaian made no mistakes; the Spiritual Liquids were incomparably pure!

Qingyao's small mouth was slightly agape as she once again marveled at Fu Huaian's Genius!

This terrifying Divine Sense control was truly astonishing!

Fu Huaian sensed the Spiritual Liquid in the Pill Furnace and began to gradually fuse them according to the sequence.

The difficulty of this step mainly lay in balancing two masses of Spiritual Liquid with different Qi concentrations, ensuring they didn't repel each other upon contact, thereby forming a stable Spiritual Liquid.

Time passed, and Fu Huaian still made no mistakes!

The Pill Condensation step was even simpler; due to the extremely high temperature of the black Spiritual Fire, the Pill Condensation speed was even faster than Qingyao's!

Bang–

Five perfect Qi Circulation Pills flew out of the Pill Furnace, floating before the wide-eyed Qingyao.

Fu Huaian smiled lightly, looking at her fair, small face.

"Saintess Xu, this isn't difficult. Let's directly refine Nine-Rank Medicinal Pills!"

Qingyao looked at the Medicinal Pills, then at Fu Huaian, her innocent face filled with astonishment.

She felt that her identity as the top Genius Alchemist in Medicine God Valley was a joke…

"Sword Crown, your talent is too amazing!"

Fu Huaian smiled, humbly waving his hand.

Qingyao put away the Qi Circulation Pills, then leaned closer to Fu Huaian, looking into his captivating eyes.

"Sword Crown, first read through the Pill Formula for the Qi Yuan Pill, then I'll demonstrate the Alchemy process for you again!

Once you understand it clearly, you can try refining it yourself!"

Fu Huaian nodded, took out the booklet Qingyao had given him, and looked down to find the Qi Yuan Pill, studying it carefully.

From the Spiritual Plants to the Alchemy steps, precautions, and so on, he firmly memorized everything!

This booklet was not something dispensable; Pill Formulas for ranked Medicinal Pills were all incomparably precious.

For Qingyao to give this booklet to Fu Huaian to read showed that she truly trusted him, treating Fu Huaian as a good friend.

Qingyao walked out of the Alchemy room and returned shortly after, carrying two portions of Spiritual Plants for the Qi Yuan Pill.

Seeing that Fu Huaian had already understood the Qi Yuan Pill's Pill Formula, she sat down again, her small face serious, and began Alchemy.

Igniting the Spiritual Fire, placing the medicinal ingredients, extracting the Spiritual Liquid…

Half an hour later.

Bang–

Ten perfect Qi Yuan Pills flew out of the Pill Furnace.

Fu Huaian smiled and nodded. The young lady's Alchemy skills were superb and pleasing to the eye.

Qingyao looked at the Medicinal Pills, nodding with satisfaction.

She happily put the Medicinal Pills into a porcelain bottle and looked at Fu Huaian.

"Sword Crown, would you like to try?"

"Mm!"

Fu Huaian had already seen that the Qi Yuan Pill was much more difficult to refine than the Qi Circulation Pill; not only were the Spiritual Plants harder to dissolve into Spiritual Liquid, but the control difficulty also increased severalfold!

The higher the grade of the Medicinal Pill, the harder the corresponding grade of Spiritual Plants were to handle!

Fu Huaian sat down, reviewed the Pill Formula he had memorized, and began serious Alchemy!

He ignited the black Spiritual Fire, and once the Pill Furnace reached a suitable temperature, he sequentially placed the Spiritual Plants.

Qingyao stood quietly by, watching, her small face gradually changing from serious to bewildered, then to astonished and perplexed.

Her gaze unconsciously shifted from the Pill Furnace to Fu Huaian's face!

How could there be such a supremely talented person in this world?

Bang–

Half an hour later, the Pill Furnace opened, and ten perfect Nine-Rank Qi Yuan Pills flew out, a faint fragrance lingering in the air!

Qingyao's eyes sparkled. She could already envision Fu Huaian becoming a top Alchemist in the future!

At that time, she could say to others with a serious face:

Fu Huaian's initial Alchemy training was taught by me, Saintess Qingyao!

Qingyao thought blankly for a moment, almost laughing out loud.

Fu Huaian frowned in confusion, speaking doubtfully.

"Saintess Xu?"

Qingyao quickly came back to her senses, her small face flushing.

She glanced at the Medicinal Pills, put them into the porcelain bottle, and smiled:

"Sword Crown, your Alchemy is extremely perfect!

Congratulations on becoming a Nine-Rank Alchemist!"

Fu Huaian smiled and nodded, confirming that his choice to pursue Alchemy was indeed correct.

Becoming a Nine-Rank Alchemist in one day, the Elder of Taiyi Sword Pool would probably be ashamed to tears if he knew…

The two did not leave immediately; they spent the entire day in the Alchemy room.

Frantically.

Alchemy.

After a day of learning, Fu Huaian successfully mastered five types of Nine-Rank Medicinal Pills and could perfectly refine them.

With this foundation, as long as Fu Huaian possessed a Nine-Rank Pill Formula, he could essentially refine it successfully!

Late at night, the two finished Alchemy, walked out of the grand hall, and returned to their wooden house in the night.

Fu Huaian was exceptionally confident, agreeing to try Eight-Rank Medicinal Pills with Qingyao tomorrow!

Qingyao, even in the Early Stage of Transcendence, could be an Eight-Rank Alchemist.

Fu Huaian believed that with his higher cultivation, there was no reason he couldn't advance to an Eight-Rank Alchemist.

Advancing one rank a day.

Terrifying to this extent!
