Chapter 232 Breaking Edan
The medicinal materials needed for the sixth-grade elixir are indeed difficult to find. Only forces like the Yunlan Sect have some, but not a lot.
Xiao Yan took out his medicine cauldron - the Heart of the Earth from his storage ring, then stretched out his hand and a ball of white flame appeared in his palm.
As soon as the white flame appeared, the entire secret room was filled with the breath of life. Some seeds that floated in from somewhere quickly began to take root and sprout. After a short while, they covered the entire secret room, looking very spectacular.
“This is too exaggerated!” Xiao Yan’s eyes widened as he looked at the Yang Fire whose vitality was far stronger than before. He just tried to test it deliberately, but he didn’t expect it to be so powerful.
"Such a strong breath of life, what on earth is he doing in there?" Hai Bodong was outside the secret room when he suddenly smelled an intoxicating scent. He immediately felt that all the cells in his body became active.
For a moment, Hai Bodong really wanted to rush in and absorb the smell that fascinated him, but as soon as his hand touched the door handle, he retracted it and had to pace back and forth outside anxiously.
However, fortunately this smell came and disappeared quickly, otherwise Hai Bodong really felt that he might not be able to help but rush in.
In the secret room, Xiao Yan began to refine the medicinal materials according to the steps given in the pill recipe. After all the medicinal materials were refined, he began to melt the pill.
However, it may be that the ratio of medicinal materials was wrong. When the pill was being melted, it turned directly into ashes.
Although Xiao Yan failed in refining the recipe the first time, he was not discouraged. After all, didn’t the old Medicinal Herb in the original novel also fail the first time?
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao carefully discussed the ratio of the medicinal materials and then continued with the second refining.
The second refining process was a bit faster than the first, but due to a tiny error during fusion, the refining failed again!
“It can’t be that I really can’t refine it! How about we let the teacher do it?” Xiao Yan became a little unconfident after failing twice in a row. After all, there was only one last batch of herbs left, and it would be difficult to explain if he failed again.
"When refining medicine, you must have absolute confidence. You could have succeeded the second time. It was because you lacked confidence and thought you would fail that led to your failure. Collect your mind and continue refining. Treat it as a power-accumulating pill!" Yao Lao criticized.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a breath, then sat down cross-legged. After his heart was completely calm, Xiao Yan stood up.
What Yao Lao said was absolutely right. Xiao Yan was indeed very uneasy when he refined a sixth-grade elixir for the first time.
Sometimes he thought about becoming a sixth-rank alchemist and surpassing Gu He. Sometimes he was worried about the outcome and felt it would be embarrassing if he failed to refine the medicine.
Yao Lao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Yan had fully recovered. The most taboo in alchemy is to be indecisive. With Xiao Yan's previous condition, let alone a sixth-grade pill, even a fourth-grade pill might fail.
Xiao Yan started his life again, refining and fusing medicinal herbs. Soon, a pill prototype appeared in the medicine cauldron.
He looked at the Evil-Breaking Pill in the medicine cauldron with a calm face, as if there was not an Evil-Breaking Pill in it, but a first-grade power-accumulating pill.
After continuing to use the strange fire to warm the yang for a while, the pill began to gradually become rounder, and a purple pill appeared in the field of vision. At the same time, the entire secret room was filled with the fragrance of the pill.
Suddenly, an energy ripple began to spread from the center of the pill, and then quickly spread to the surroundings.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately used his soul power to condense into a light shield to wrap up the energy ripples. When the energy ripples came into contact with the light shield, they immediately made a sharp sound and then disappeared.
Xiao Yan retracted the flame in the medicine cauldron, then stretched out his hand and a purple pill with strange patterns on its surface appeared in his hand.
"Yes, I think this pill can not only remove the seal on Hai Bodong, but also make him a lot younger." A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. He smelled the pill that exuded a strong breath of life and said with a faint smile.
Looking at the plants that began to grow again in the secret room, Xiao Yan quickly put the elixir into a specially made small jade bottle.
Hai Bodong outside the door smelled the scent that had been haunting him again, and he was so anxious that he was a little crazy. He really couldn't help it, so he put his hand directly on the door handle and wanted to open the door.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Xiao Yan walked out. Looking at the anxious Hai Bodong, he smiled and said, "Are you so impatient?"
"Uh... hehe, what kind of elixir did you refine? Why does it smell so intoxicating, as if... as if it has the effect of increasing lifespan and reversing aging." Hai Bodong smiled awkwardly. If he wasn't afraid of Xiao Yan's strength at this moment, he really wanted to snatch it away!
"Of course it's the Evil-Breaking Pill, what other pill could it be!" Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong with a cunning look in his eyes.
"The Evil-Breaking Pill? As far as I know, the Evil-Breaking Pill doesn't seem to have such a terrifying effect!" Hai Bodong said with a puzzled look on his face.
The Evil-Breaking Pill only has the effect of removing seals or exempting from some seals. Apart from that, it has no other effects, let alone increasing lifespan.
“Of course, ordinary Evil-Breaking Pills won’t work, but this one of mine will.” Xiao Yan smiled, then opened the cork a little, and the intoxicating smell filled the room again.
Hai Bodong smelled the familiar scent again and subconsciously wanted to take it, but Xiao Yan put it away directly.
Embarrassedly withdrawing his hand, Hai Bodong said with a wry smile: "Little brother's medicine refining skills are truly amazing! Even the Dan Wang Guhe of the Jia Ma Empire is inferior to you."
"Don't talk about those useless things. You have also felt the effect of the elixir. It can not only break the seal on you, but also make you rejuvenated. What do you think you should pay?" Xiao Yan said to Hai Bodong.
Hearing this, Hai Bodong felt a sudden toothache. For the sake of this Breaking Evil Pill, he had already agreed to accompany Xiao Yan to the Imperial Capital. Hai Bodong had a hunch that the trip to the Imperial Capital would definitely not be simple.
But now, he needs to raise the stakes again. However, in front of Changsheng, Hai Bodong was obviously shaken. He sighed and said, "Little brother, if you have any other requests, just ask. As long as it's not too much, I will agree to it!"
"Haha, it's nothing! I'm just waiting for you to recover your strength so that we can practice together!" Xiao Yan smiled slightly and threw the pill directly to Hai Bodong.
"What? It's that simple?" Hai Bodong carefully took the pill and looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief. He thought Xiao Yan would make some excessive demands.
"Go and break the seal! I'm still waiting for you to practice with me!" Xiao Yan said impatiently. He wanted to try and gain something! Xiao Yan had never met a suitable opponent, and he really felt itchy.
