Chapter 372 Refining

Tang Huo'er watched Xiao Ling and his father retreat away, feeling a surge of complicated emotions in his heart. But just for a moment, she bit her lip hard and followed quickly.

The alchemists who were sitting quietly in the hall couldn't hold it any longer when they saw this scene. They stood up one after another and followed the footsteps of Xiao Ling and others leaving, their faces filled with excitement. An almost fanatical excitement.

This is the scene where the eighth-grade alchemy master personally makes elixirs. Such an opportunity is really rare. If you miss it, you will never see it again. Of course they should seize this opportunity to observe and learn.

…

The huge valley is full of greenery, and the fiery red maple leaves occasionally appear among the lush trees, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye. In the very center of the valley, there is a spacious square paved with red volcanic rocks, which is particularly eye-catching.

In the center of the square, there stood a stone platform about ten feet high. At this time, many people had gathered around the square. Most of them were wearing uniform red clothes, and they were obviously disciples of Fenyan Valley.

In addition, there are some white-haired old men wearing alchemist robes. These are senior alchemists invited by Burning Flame Valley before, including several guest alchemists from Burning Flame Valley.

After getting Xiao Ling's permission, these people came here happily, ready to witness with their own eyes how Xiao Ling used his alchemy skills.

At this time, pairs of eyes were all focused on Xiao Ling in the center of the square. Some were expecting, some were admiring, and some were excited.

"Master Xiao Ling, if this elixir refining goes well, our Burning Flame Valley will definitely teach you the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire that you expected. Moreover, I will also give you this Mountain Molten Cauldron as a reward, even if it is to make up for our There were some shortcomings before. "

Tang Zhen waved his sleeves and saw a huge shadow fly out from his ring, and landed in the center of the stone platform with a bang. The heavy weight made the stone platform tremble slightly.

This is a large medicinal cauldron with a height of one foot. The entire medicinal cauldron is red in color, and the round wall is carved with patterns of volcanic eruptions. At a glance, it seems that you can feel a violent breath coming towards your face, which makes people feel uneasy. Awe.

"Shan Melting Cauldron, this is a famous medicine cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron List! Valley Master Tang Zhen is so generous."

The alchemists on the side, these old Jianghu people who have been working hard in Zhongzhou for many years, all have a broad vision. They recognized the origin of this medicine cauldron at a glance. Isn't this a member of the famous Tianding List in the medicine refining world?

Although the thirteen medicinal cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron List are not as famous as the Strange Fire List, all of the medicinal cauldrons on the list are flawless masterpieces that have been passed down from generation to generation. Each medicine cauldron has a charm that makes countless alchemists go crazy for it. Who wouldn’t want to own a treasure like this?

"Shan Melting Cauldron is indeed a good thing."

Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows. The treasures on the Heavenly Cauldron List were irresistibly attractive to any alchemist.

Although Xiao Ling already owns the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and the Spirit Tempering Cauldron, two medicinal cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron List, and Yao Chen's Black Demon Cauldron, Xiao Ling can play with it at any time as long as he is interested.

Naturally, the more treasures like the medicinal cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron List, the better, as they will always come in handy in the future.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Ling couldn't help but look at Tang Zhen with a hint of appreciation. This Tang Zhen is really an honest man.

"The quality of this medicine cauldron is really good. Later, Mr. Diao, I can help you think about it and modify it a little to make the effect of this medicine cauldron even better."

At this time, Xiao Diao, who had been lying on Xiao Ling's shoulder, suddenly spoke.

"Okay, when we are free, I will ask you to help me and let me see how powerful Tianxuan Continent's unique weapon refining technology is."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and responded.

Xiao Diao is good at refining weapons, which Xiao Ling has known for a long time. But he didn't expect that it would even have the confidence to improve the medicine cauldron on the Tianding list, which made Xiao Ling full of expectations for the transformed medicine cauldron.

"Hehe, if you don't mind, use this mountain melting cauldron as the base material, and add some high-end refining materials, and with the spirit of the ancestral stone helping you, Lord Diao, I can upgrade it into a pure Yuan statue. precious."

Xiao Diao raised his chin, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Forget it, this medicinal cauldron is originally used to make elixirs, and I have no interest in fighting with a cauldron-shaped magic weapon. As long as you help me improve the performance of this medicinal cauldron, I will be satisfied."

Xiao Ling shook his head gently and politely declined Xiao Diao's proposal.

"Master Xiao Ling, please start. I hope that Master can live up to expectations."

Tang Zhen said seriously again, waving his sleeves at the same time, and saw swarms of medicinal materials pouring out of his Najie like running water, and swirling above the stone platform. At a glance, there are at least hundreds of types of these medicinal materials.

As the medicinal materials appeared, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air. Refining this Fire Bodhisattva requires so many medicinal materials. It is indeed a seventh-grade high-level elixir. It seems that this refining is a big project.

"Valley Master Tang, don't worry, Miss Tang Huo'er and I have met several times, so I will naturally do my best this time."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, she glanced at Tang Huo'er, who was staring at him intently. Feeling Xiao Ling's gaze, Tang Huo'er felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked away.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly, no longer thought about it, jumped up, and landed lightly on the stone platform.

Before he finished speaking, a powerful soul force burst out from his brows, carefully scanning every detail of the Mountain Melting Cauldron, thoroughly investigating it from inside to outside.

Xiao Ling first quickly understood the unique structure and performance of this medicine cauldron, and prepared for the next refining.

Then, Xiao Ling's palm suddenly spurted out a dark brown flame, igniting the fiery red Mountain Melting Cauldron. The flames rolled and jumped in the cauldron, and soon, it vaguely formed the appearance of a hideous giant turtle, which looked quite majestic.

"Hiss~ This might is too terrifying, could this be the legendary strange fire!"

"It looks like a giant turtle, with sharp fire spikes all over its body. It has a ferocious mouth, teeth like blades, and brown strange flames all over it. This must be the turtle spirit earth fire ranked 13th on the strange fire list."

"I heard before that Master Xiao Ling subdued a strange fire. Today I saw it with my own eyes. It is indeed the turtle spirit earth fire that is well-deserved. Master Xiao Ling is so young, but his alchemy skills are so amazing. With the blessing of strange fire, his future achievements will definitely be limitless."

When the people present saw the flame summoned by Xiao Ling, they all showed surprised expressions, and almost recognized its identity at the same time.

While everyone was sighing, everyone's eyes revealed an envy that was hard to hide. Such a flame is not something that everyone can easily see, let alone control.

"As Huo'er said before, Xiao Ling subdued the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire ranked 13th on the Strange Fire List. This kid is really lucky."

Tang Zhen naturally recognized the strange fire summoned by Xiao Ling at a glance. He had heard Tang Huo'er mention that Xiao Ling had a strange fire before. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, the power and unique form of the flame made him confirm this again in his heart.

Xiao Ling ignored the exclamations and envious eyes around him. He focused on using his soul power to accurately control various medicinal materials. One by one, the medicinal materials jumped up lightly as if obeying a command, and flew into the mountain melting cauldron in an orderly manner according to his will.

As the medicinal materials were put into the mountain melting cauldron one by one, Xiao Ling gently made a handprint, and the ferocious giant turtle image that was dormant in the cauldron instantly exploded into dozens of brown flames and scattered.

Immediately afterwards, under Xiao Ling's clever control, the medicinal materials fell into these split turtle spirit earth fires one after another, and began the process of calcination and quenching. The flames licked the herbs, and a strong aroma of medicine filled the air.

The alchemists around were surprised to see Xiao Ling's unique alchemy skills. If you don't have strong soul control, you can mess up in minutes if you refine so many herbs at the same time.

"Master Xiao Ling is trying to do many things at once. Can this speed up the alchemy?"

"Is this the true strength of the alchemy master?!"

Xiao Ling ignored the whispers and surprised eyes around him and directly increased the speed of refining. As the fighting spirit in his body poured into the flames, the temperature of the strange fire soared, and the herbs gradually turned into ashes in the heat, leaving only the purest essence of the herbs. As the flames jumped, the whole scene looked even more spectacular.

Under Xiao Ling's careful control, the essence of each herb was perfectly refined, and every step was impeccable. The alchemists around were so fascinated that they even forgot to exclaim.

Refining a seventh-grade elixir is an extremely complicated matter, not to mention that this Fire Bodhi Pill is a seventh-grade high-level elixir, so the difficulty is naturally extraordinary. But in Xiao Ling's hands, all of this seems to be easy.

The stone platform is silent, with only the crackling sound of the burning flames. Drops of medicinal essences are transformed into liquids under the quenching of the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire and slowly begin to merge. The whole scene is both tense and full of mysterious artistic sense.

The difficulty and complexity of refining the Fire Bodhi Pill far exceeds everyone's imagination. With such a delicate refining process, even an experienced seventh-grade high-level alchemist dare not guarantee a high success rate.

Even Xiao Ling, who is so skilled in mastering this fire, is not the first time to refine a seventh-grade high-level elixir. He still spent nearly a day and a night to complete the refining of this elixir.

This is already a relatively long time among the seventh-grade elixirs refined by Xiao Ling.

But such a speed may seem a bit long to Xiao Ling himself, but in the eyes of others, Xiao Ling's speed is simply unbelievable, even a little abnormal.

However, these people are also discerning, they can see that the reason why Xiao Ling can refine so quickly is because of his magical ability to multitask. This is something they can't learn, they can only envy.

As the pill gradually approaches perfection, wisps of rich medicinal fragrance slowly drift out from the gap of the mountain melting furnace.

As soon as the onlookers around smelled this fragrance, they realized that the pill refining was about to be completed.

When Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer saw this scene, their eyes couldn't help but heat up, and their excitement was beyond words. They are different from other spectators. This pill means more to them.

This is not just a pill, it is Tang Huoer's hope to recover his health. As long as this pill comes out of the furnace, Tang Huoer's injuries can be cured.

Just when everyone's hearts were surging, Xiao Ling, who had been sitting like a stone statue, finally stood up slowly...

Swish, swish, swish!

As Xiao Ling stood up, countless eager eyes around the square seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and focused on him at once!

On the high platform, Tang Huoer and Tang Zhen also couldn't help but clench their palms. Their eyes were firmly fixed on the tall and handsome young man. Tension and expectation filled the air.

Facing the countless mixed eyes of various emotions, Xiao Ling seemed to be completely unaware. His face was as calm as water, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the medicine cauldron. After a while, he took a deep breath and then waved his sleeves violently!

"Dang!" A crisp sound.

With Xiao Ling's wave, the lid of the mountain melting cauldron flew up, and an astonishing energy wave burst out from the inside of the medicine cauldron, hitting the inner wall of the medicine cauldron, making a sound of metal and iron clashing that resounded through the sky.

Although the medicine cauldron tried its best to block the spread of energy waves, some energy still leaked out. Those stone platforms close to Xiao Ling, under the impact of this energy, instantly collapsed, and stone chips flew everywhere, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"Boom!" A sound, like a thunder explosion.

Just as the shocking energy fluctuations began to spread, the Mountain Melting Cauldron suddenly shook violently as if its vitality was stimulated.

Then, under the gaze of countless pairs of shocked eyes, a huge dark brown pillar of fire suddenly rushed into the sky with a "whoosh" sound!

The pillar of fire was like a giant dragon, rushing straight into the sky, and the blazing flames illuminated the night sky within a radius of 100 miles.

The disciples of Fenyan Valley, no matter what they were doing, stopped their actions at this moment, and looked up at the shocking pillar of fire.

The powerful energy fluctuations contained in the pillar of fire made all the strong men present change color, and an indescribable shock surged in their hearts.

"Hiss~, this energy fluctuation is really strong."

"This power... is undoubtedly the level of a top-grade seventh-grade elixir."

"Master Xiao Ling is Master Xiao Ling, the work of an eighth-grade alchemist, and it is indeed extraordinary. The first shot is the ultimate performance of a seventh-grade elixir."

The people around are all experts, and they have a preliminary judgment on the quality of the elixir after feeling this energy fluctuation. The crowd began to whisper and talk, with envy and respect in their eyes, as well as admiration from the heart.

It's just that these people didn't really see through the true grade of this elixir. Under Xiao Ling's superb refining skills, this elixir has surpassed ordinary top-grade elixirs and reached the peak of seventh-grade elixirs.

Super-top-grade elixirs are treasures that even ordinary alchemists find difficult to refine in their lifetime. Only those masters who have reached the peak of alchemy skills can occasionally succeed in refining.

Even the three giants of Danta now only have the opportunity to refine super-high-quality pills when refining fifth-grade or sixth-grade pills, and the probability is pitifully small.

When Yao Chen was still young, he successfully refined a super-high-quality sixth-grade pill in Danta. That refining even caused the pill thunder that only appeared in seventh-grade pills, shocking everyone.

And the seventh-grade super-high-quality Huo Bo Dan refined by Xiao Ling this time has excellent performance in terms of efficacy, purity of medicinal power and stability, which is almost comparable to the eighth-grade pills. Although it still belongs to the seventh-grade category according to the classification of pill grades, in fact, its quality has far exceeded the boundaries of all seventh-grade pills.

Just as the surrounding discussions gradually died down, at the end of the sky-high fire pillar, strange fog suddenly began to gather on the horizon. The fog seemed to be summoned and condensed quickly. After a while, it formed a thundercloud, like the angry face of the sky.

Then, above the medicine cauldron, dark clouds gathered, and golden lightning flickered in the clouds. A breath that seemed to be able to destroy everything spread.

The lightning seemed to be ready to go, waiting to reach an amazing peak, and then suddenly struck the pill below.

This scene was like the sky adding a tense and spectacular color to Xiao Ling's alchemy ceremony.

Next is the finishing work of refining the pill, which is also the most challenging part, resisting the pill thunder.

This level is crucial. If you can successfully resist the attack of the pill thunder, then the pill refining can be declared a complete success. But if you can't resist it, the pill thunder will not only destroy the pill that you have worked hard to refine, but it may also cause serious damage to the alchemist himself.

No one was worried about whether they could successfully resist the impact of the pill thunder. After all, the master of the Burning Flame Valley was watching covetously. This pill was a treasure he urgently needed. How could he watch it being destroyed?

Besides, with Tang Zhen, a five-star Dou Zun, in charge, he could deal with not only the seventh-grade Dan Lei, but even the eighth-grade Dan Lei. Everyone knew that this scene was very stable!

Tang Zhen stared at the rolling dark clouds, his eyes flashing with excitement. Although he knew that Xiao Ling would succeed once he made a move, he couldn't help but feel happy at this critical moment.

After all, this was not just a pill, but also the hope for his daughter's survival.

As for Tang Huo'er, this girl who always maintained arrogance and coldness in front of outsiders, at this moment, she looked at Xiao Ling with indescribable complex emotions.

In her heart, an indescribable excitement spread throughout her body, as if touched by some invisible force.

The eyes cast by the surroundings were curious, admiring, or worshipful, but Xiao Ling didn't care about it.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on the pill in the medicine cauldron that was shining with a fiery red light, and a trace of disappointment unconsciously flashed across his eyes... (End of this chapter)
