Chapter 125 Alchemy
Hai Bodong led Xiao Ling into the treasure house of the Mitel family. He raised his hand and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Ling, this is where the most precious treasures of the Mitel family are. You can take whatever you like, just as the reward for refining the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill this time."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and then released his soul perception and began to explore one by one.
Indeed, the Mitel family is the richest family in the Jiama Empire. Although its wealth is not as strong as that of the royal family, it has a wide variety of rare materials. Even the medicinal materials for refining the Huangji Pill can be pieced together into two pieces.
Although Hai Bodong generously said that Xiao Ling could choose freely, Xiao Ling did not greedily choose more, but only picked some of the best quality medicinal materials.
After selecting the reward, Hai Bodong handed Xiao Ling a storage ring and said, "Master Xiao Ling, this storage ring contains three medicinal materials for the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill. Although the grade of this pill is not very high, its medicinal materials are really hard to find. The three reincarnation grasses were snatched from several fifth-level monsters by me when I went out."
"Hehe, although it is quite difficult to find medicinal materials, the reward after taking the pill is also quite considerable."
Xiao Ling reached out to take the storage ring, released a ray of soul power, and began to explore the situation inside. After confirming that the number of medicinal materials was sufficient, he nodded gently.
"Haha, Master Xiao Ling is right. I wonder if I can refine this Soul-Restoring Purple Pill right now?" Hai Bodong rubbed his hands and looked at Xiao Ling with hope.
It was really helpless. It was extremely difficult to recover the reduced cultivation due to being sealed for a long time. If there was no help from the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, I was afraid that I would have to spend more than ten years to cultivate to the Douhuang Five Star again.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, nodded to Hai Bodong, and said: "Mr. Hai, please relax, I will refine this Soul-Restoring Purple Pill for you later. This is not the first time we have cooperated. Do you still not trust my efficiency?"
After a slight pause, Xiao Ling continued: "As for those alchemists of your family, if they want to watch me refine the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, as long as they don't interfere with my alchemy, I have no objection."
Hearing this, Hai Bodong's smile became brighter, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, Master Xiao Ling, I have arranged the alchemy room for you, please follow me."
After that, Hai Bodong took Xiao Ling into a spacious hall.
In the hall, all kinds of alchemy equipment were placed in an orderly manner. Xiao Ling nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then began to prepare to refine the Purple Pill of Restoring Soul.
Upon learning that Xiao Ling was about to start refining pills, several alchemists of the Miter family came to the scene.
If a sixth-grade alchemist could learn some skills from refining pills, it would definitely benefit them, alchemists of the fourth grade at most.
Xiao Ling glanced at them lightly. Most of these people were in their twilight years. Only one middle-aged man, the old man he met at the Alchemist Guild Exchange last time, was among them.
After seeing Xiao Ling, everyone bowed and saluted to show respect. Although Xiao Ling was young, in the way of alchemy, the first to achieve success comes first, and Xiao Ling deserves the respect of these people.
Xiao Ling smiled and nodded to everyone, indicating that they did not need to be so polite. His eyes swept over these alchemists, and his expression was calm and composed.
Hai Bodong smiled and said, "Master Xiao Ling, please get ready first. I'll let them watch quietly on the side and won't disturb you."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and then walked to the center of the hall.
Moving the prepared medicine cauldron aside, Xiao Ling flicked his finger, and a pure black medicine cauldron as big as a table suddenly appeared.
This black medicine cauldron is quite large, and there is a faint calm aura around it. On the surface of the medicine cauldron, there are also lifelike flame totems. When the medicine cauldron slowly rotates, these flame totems are like real objects. Indistinctly, a faint flame energy is condensing around the medicine cauldron.
This is the Black Demon Cauldron that Yao Chen lent to Xiao Ling.
Touching the ring in his hand, a portion of the medicinal materials for the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill fell on the table beside him.
When everything is ready, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, waved his hands, and the strange fire instantly burned fiercely under the alchemy furnace.
Xiao Ling methodically put the herbs into the furnace one by one, his movements were skillful and precise, and each step seemed to have been tempered by thousands of times.
The alchemists held their breath and stared at Xiao Ling's every move, fearing that they would miss the slightest.
As the process of alchemy progressed, the medicinal fragrance in the furnace became more and more intense. Xiao Ling's face was always calm, and each step was executed perfectly.
With Xiao Ling's current attainments in alchemy, refining this fifth-grade Fuling Purple Pill was easy and stress-free.
After an unknown amount of time, the alchemy furnace suddenly glowed brightly. Xiao Ling shouted softly, quickly formed seals with both hands, and slammed the alchemy furnace. A brightly colored Fuling Purple Pill flew out of the furnace. Xiao Ling waved his hand and the pill fell steadily into the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago.
"It's done!" Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Hai Bodong stepped forward quickly, his eyes full of surprise: "Master Xiao Ling, you are truly amazing!" The surrounding alchemists also exclaimed in admiration.
Xiao Ling handed the pill to Hai Bodong and said: "Mr. Hai, I am honored to have served you. I hope this pill can help you recover your strength as soon as possible."
Hai Bodong thanked him repeatedly: "Master Xiao Ling, this kindness will be remembered by our Mitel family."
Xiao Ling waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Hai, you are too kind. We are helping each other."
Hai Bodong carefully took the jade bottle and put it away as if it were a treasure. At this time, the alchemists gathered around him, their eyes full of admiration for Xiao Ling and their desire for alchemy.
The old man who had met at the Alchemist Guild Exchange said respectfully: "Master Xiao Ling, your alchemy technique and control of the fire just now are really exquisite and unparalleled. I wonder if you can give me some pointers?"
Xiao Ling looked at the eager eyes of the crowd, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Since you are so interested, I will briefly say a few words. The most important thing in the art of alchemy is the familiarity with the characteristics of medicinal materials and the precise control of flames. Each kind of medicinal material has unique properties, and the time, order and amount of input are all crucial. The temperature and intensity of the flame need to be adjusted according to different stages..."
After the explanation, Xiao Ling said: "The way of alchemy focuses on practice and understanding. I hope you can make breakthroughs in future practice."
Everyone thanked Xiao Ling again, and then dispersed one after another, each immersed in their just harvest.
