Chapter 2: Stunning Skills

Elder Xingyun was also stunned for a moment, as if he had heard an incredible joke, with an absurd and funny expression on his face: "What did you say? Can you refine Qi Gathering Pills?"

He thought Su Chen had come up with a good reason to defend himself.

After all this time, it turned out to be such a ridiculous statement.

Can Su Chen refine Qi Gathering Pills?

Impossible, Elder Xingyun is willing to bet all his wealth that Su Chen has never even touched the alchemy furnace after entering Zhengyi Sect.

As for before entering Zhengyi Sect, Su Chen was only twelve years old at that time. Even if he had learned the way of alchemy, how many days could he learn?

Qi Gathering Pills are not so easy to refine!

"Come on, bring him the alchemy furnace! I want to see how he can easily refine the Qi Gathering Pill method!"

Elder Xingyun said coldly. In his opinion, Su Chen's words were simply an insult to the profession of alchemist.

A person who may not even have touched the alchemy furnace claims that he can refine Qi Gathering Pills?

He wanted to see how Su Chen could refine it.

Following Elder Xingyun's order, two servants soon came to the hall carrying a bronze furnace as tall as a person.

In addition, Elder Xingyun also ordered people to prepare a copy of the materials for refining the Qi Gathering Pill for Su Chen.

In normal times, this copy of the materials would be worth a thousand gold. At this moment, in order to let Su Chen reveal his true colors on the spot, Elder Xingyun took out a copy without hesitation, which was considered a huge investment.

"Since you claim to be able to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, then you should refine it in the hall now, so that everyone can see clearly how good your alchemy skills are." Elder Xingyun sneered and sarcastically said.

He thought Su Chen would retreat.

But at this moment, Su Chen's face was only calm, without any intention of retreating, and he just looked at Elder Xingyun indifferently.

The coldness in his eyes made Elder Xingyun pause, and his heart was chilled involuntarily.

He himself didn't know why he felt scared in front of a little disciple!

Su Chen withdrew his gaze calmly, then stretched out his right palm and slapped the furnace.

The next moment!

The bronze furnace shook violently, and the furnace cover and the waste residue of medicinal materials in the furnace flew up high.

This scene made Elder Xingyun's eyelids jump again.

How could Elder Xingyun not know that Su Chen's move was called "cleaning the furnace", which was to use the dark energy in the body to directly remove the residual medicinal materials in the furnace from the last refining.

Because if these residues are not cleaned up, it will seriously affect the next refining, causing the next refined pill to contain impurities, resulting in refining failure or pill quality reduction.

However, ordinary alchemists use special tools to clean the furnace, and few alchemists can use dark energy to clean the furnace without external objects.

But Su Chen did it!

Elder Xingyun narrowed his eyes, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Could it be that Su Chen could really refine the Qi Gathering Pill?

No, that's impossible!

The furnace cleaning just now must have been just a coincidence.

Compared to the complex mentality of Elder Xingyun, the mentality of most of the disciples present was much simpler. Because, they didn't understand Su Chen's furnace cleaning steps just now.

"What is Su Chen doing?"

"Juggling? Hahaha..."

But, Su Chen's next move immediately stopped them from laughing.

Su Chen flicked his fingers, and a flame shot out directly from his fingers and shot into the bottom of the pill furnace, and a blazing flame suddenly ignited under the pill furnace!

This step is called starting the fire!

If they couldn't understand the furnace cleaning steps just now, then Su Chen's skillful fire starting technique in this step undoubtedly shocked them.

Even Elder Xingyun showed a look of shock. If the furnace cleaning just now could be said to be a coincidence, then the current fire starting step was undoubtedly a real alchemist's skill.

When did Su Chen become an alchemist?

Without giving Elder Xingyun time to think about it, Su Chen waved his hand and sent a batch of materials that had been prepared beside the alchemy furnace into the furnace.

A total of six materials are needed to refine the Qi Gathering Pill. The order and temperature of each material must be carefully considered, otherwise the refining is likely to fail.

However, Su Chen threw all the materials in at once, completely ignoring the order of placement!

Refining!

Purification!

Pill!

Done in one go!

The whole process took less than two incense sticks.

Even though Su Chen was reborn as a fifteen-year-old body, his memory was still that of a generation of Alchemy Emperor. Refining the lowest-level first-level pill, such as the Qi Gathering Pill, was easier than eating and drinking water.

Just when everyone was still staring blankly, a thick white mist had already floated out of the alchemy furnace, accompanied by bursts of pill fragrance.

This is a sign of the success of the pill!

Su Chen slowly extended his right palm and gently patted the furnace again. The furnace cover automatically flew up again, and white jade-like pills flew out of the furnace.

Each of the refined Qi-Gathering Pills was the size of a longan, crystal clear and lovely.

Su Chen picked up a porcelain plate to receive it. The Qi-gathering pills fell on the plate one by one, making a crisp sound like beads, which was very pleasant to the ears.

In contrast to this pleasant sound, Elder Xingyun and Lu Yuan had very ugly faces.

They would never have thought that Su Chen could actually refine Qi-gathering pills.

"Impossible?"

"When will Su Chen refine pills?"

The disciples present were also shocked!

They thought that Su Chen was embarrassing himself by refining pills on the spot, but they didn't expect that he could really refine Qi-gathering pills.

"Let me verify it!" Elder Xingyun strode over and grabbed a few pills from the porcelain plate.

He didn't believe that what Su Chen refined would be a real Qi-gathering pill!

However, after taking the pill in his hand and taking a look and smelling it, Elder Xingyun's face suddenly became more gloomy.

With his eyesight, how could he not see that this was indeed a Qi-gathering pill. Moreover, these Qi Gathering Pills are full of color, symmetrical and attractive, and are obviously of top-grade quality!

In less than two incense sticks, Su Chen refined a furnace of top-grade Qi Gathering Pills!

This undoubtedly completely overturned the frame-up of Elder Xingyun and Lu Yuan.

As Su Chen said, if a person can easily refine Qi Gathering Pills, then is there any need to go to great lengths to steal?

You know, the raw materials of Qi Gathering Pills are not precious things, but the precious thing is the skill of refining Qi Gathering Pills.

"What's going on? Su Chen really refined Qi Gathering Pills. Is he actually a hidden alchemy genius?"

"If he can really refine it so easily, it seems that there is really no need to take a great risk to steal it?"

"Could it be that Elder Xingyun really wronged him?"

Elder Xingyun's face was gloomy. Today, he was fully confident that he could destroy Su Chen's future in one fell swoop and drive him out of the mountain gate.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen refined the Qi Gathering Pill at the critical moment, causing all his plans to fail!

"What? Elder Xingyun, you still don't admit that you and Lu Yuan are working together to frame me?" Su Chen said calmly.

How could Elder Xingyun admit it?

Anyway, Su Chen had no evidence to prove that he framed me, and secondly, he was a respected elder of the Zhengyi Sect. How could his status be easily shaken by a small disciple?

At that moment, Elder Xingyun sneered: "Su Chen, there are indeed some doubts about your theft of the pill. I will investigate it clearly! The punishment of abolishing your Dantian and expelling you from the mountain gate will be cancelled for the time being."

"However, you contradicted your teacher in public and did not respect your teacher. As your elder, I still have to punish you slightly! From today, you will go to the foot of the mountain to be a chores disciple for a year, and you are not allowed to practice within this year!"
