Chapter 199 Alchemy
Xiao Ling waved his hand gently, and the Najie that Hai Bodong had placed on the table earlier fell lightly into his palm.
He slightly released a ray of soul power and carefully explored the ring.
Xiao Ling discovered that this ring contained not only three expensive medicinal materials needed for Huangji Dan, but also several other rare medicinal materials, which were obviously extra gifts from Hai Bodong.
Although Xiao Ling did not explicitly mention the reward, the Miter family took the initiative to prepare this gift, obviously out of consideration for establishing a good relationship with Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling didn't say much about this unexpected gift and just accepted it calmly.
After all, this is someone else's kindness. If you refuse, it would be too rude and even embarrassing.
Seeing Xiao Ming take the ring, Haibodong was completely relieved.
Putting Najie into his arms, Xiao Ling nodded slightly and invited Hai Bodong: "Mr. Hai, please come with me. I will immediately start refining the Huangji Pill for you. You just need to wait and watch, The whole process doesn’t take much time. ”
Hearing this, Hai Bodong had an expectant smile on his face, and he responded loudly: "That's really the best. I just want to take a look at the "Number One Alchemist of the Jiama Empire" and see how you are. The one who uses the art of refining medicine.”
"Okay, then come with me." Then, Xiao Ling stood up first and walked calmly towards the alchemy room deep in the courtyard.
Seeing Xiao Ling getting up, Hai Bodong followed closely behind him, with a trace of unnoticeable eagerness in his steps.
Haibodong and Xiao Ling were walking slowly side by side on the quiet courtyard path. The flowers and plants around them were swaying gently in the breeze, accompanied by their relaxed conversation.
Along the way, the Xiao family members occasionally met Xiao Ling and Hai Bodong walking side by side. They stopped one after another and saluted the two respectfully.
However, they also showed extremely high upbringing. No one came forward to disturb them, but only expressed their respect from a distance.
As a frequent visitor to the Xiao family, Hai Bodong was already familiar with many members of the Xiao family. They were not surprised by Hai Bodong's arrival, but rather treated him with a cordial and welcoming attitude.
Xiao Ling and Haibodong didn't put on any airs and nodded slightly in response.
Suddenly, Haibodong brought up a topic of concern: "Master Xiao Ling, have you heard anything? The royal family's punishment pill took the Po Sect Pill that you personally refined, but failed to break through to the Dou Sect realm as expected. "
After Xiao Ling heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his brows. It was obvious that he did not know about this matter: "I have indeed never heard of this matter. Jia Lao's failure to break through is indeed beyond my expectation."
Hai Bodong smiled and added: "Haha, I originally thought that Jiaxing Tian would be the first among us to break through to the Douzong realm, but unexpectedly we failed to do so. But fortunately, I have the broken weapon you refined. As a guarantee, Zong Dan failed to break through, but his strength was not damaged, which can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes. "
Xiao Ling just smiled faintly and did not make any response. The Sect-Breaking Pill he had previously traded to the royal family was definitely of the highest quality. Jia Xingtian failed to break through the Douzong after taking it, so it could only be own reasons.
As he walked forward, Haibodong's curiosity gradually emerged. He turned to Xiao Ling, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.
"Master Xiao Ling, pardon my presumption, I wonder what level of cultivation you have reached now? I can hardly feel any aura fluctuations next to you. Even when facing Jiaxingtian at the peak of Douhuang, I can still feel perceived."
Hearing Hai Bodong's question, Xiao Ling smiled lightly, without any intention of concealing his cultivation level, and answered calmly,
"I returned to Canaan College this time and got some opportunities. In addition, the college prepared some heavenly materials and treasures for me. By luck, I was able to break through to the Douzong realm."
Hearing Xiao Ling say that he had reached the level of Dou Zong, Haibodong immediately took a breath of cold air and said, "Master Xiao Ling, you are truly a genius. You have already reached the level at a young age. Such a state of mind is truly admirable.”
At that time, Xiao Ling had just left Canaan College and returned to the Jiama Empire. He was only a four-star fighting king.
However, time passed by, and more than two years passed by in a blink of an eye. His strength surprisingly crossed two realms, and he became a Douzong.
If such a leap had not come from Xiao Ling, Hai Bodong would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.
In his opinion, such a speed of cultivation is simply a fantasy and unbelievable.
Facing Hai Bodong's praise, Xiao Ling just smiled indifferently, his expression still as calm as water. Xiao Ling has been accustomed to such compliments since he was a child, and he has long been calm about it.
The two of them walked and talked, passed through the winding corridors, bypassed several quiet courtyards, and finally came to an extremely elegantly decorated alchemy room.
In the room, all kinds of medicine refining tools are available, each one looks exquisite and professional, demonstrating Xiao Ling's ultimate pursuit of medicine refining.
Xiao Ling gently opened the door, and a faint medicinal fragrance hit his face, refreshing him.
He turned around and made an inviting gesture to Hai Bodong, indicating that he could enter.
Hai Bodong stepped in. Everywhere he looked, every tool was arranged in an orderly manner, and every medicinal material exuded the fragrance of herbs.
He looked around the alchemy room and was finally attracted by an item by the window.
It was a mysterious green vial, standing quietly on the windowsill, illuminated by sunlight during the day or moonlight at night.
The bottle was small and exquisite, emitting a soft green light. Even if it was dozens of meters away, the light was still clearly visible, as if the bottle contained some mysterious power.
The neck of the bottle was slender and elegant, and the body of the bottle was covered with delicate dark green leaf-shaped patterns. Every stroke revealed the craftsman's ingenuity.
Xiao Ling noticed that Hai Bodong's eyes were attracted by the Palm of Heaven Bottle. He smiled slightly and said nonsense: "The bottle contains some spiritual liquid that helps the growth of medicinal materials. As an alchemist, sometimes you also need to cultivate some rare medicinal materials."
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and then he replied: "So that's it. I saw that the bottle was quite extraordinary just now, and I thought it contained something extraordinary."
Xiao Ling nodded gently and added: "Indeed, this spiritual liquid has a magical effect on the growth of medicinal materials, but other than that, it has no other special features."
After learning the truth, Hai Bodong's interest suddenly waned. He originally thought that the bottle might contain some precious things, but he didn't expect it to be just spiritual liquid used to cultivate medicinal materials.
In fact, what Xiao Ling said was not false. The Cangtian Creation Dew produced by the Palm of Heaven Bottle, at present, really only has the effect of promoting the growth of medicinal materials.
Since Xiao Ling returned from the underground magma world, he has tried to test whether the Palm of Heaven Bottle can still work.
What made him happy was that despite being in a different world, the Palm of Heaven Bottle could still absorb moonlight and condense the Cangtian Creation Dew. This may be the inherent characteristics of the bottle itself, or it may be the help of the system behind it.
Then, Xiao Ling began to use the Cangtian Creation Dew produced by the Palm of Heaven Bottle, combined with the precious medicinal seeds obtained from Yao Chen, and carefully cultivated several rare medicinal materials.
However, since it takes seven days for the Palm of Heaven Bottle to stimulate the Cangtian Creation Dew, even if you have the Palm of Heaven Bottle, you can't quickly ripen a large number of medicinal materials.
Xiao Ling walked into the center of the alchemy room and calmed his mind. Then, he began the preparations before alchemy.
He first took out a portion of the medicinal materials needed for the Imperial Pill. His soul power was like an invisible hand, gently lifting these precious materials and suspending them in mid-air.
Then, Xiao Ling flicked his fingers lightly, and the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron fell in response, sitting steadily in the center of the room. This medicine cauldron is simple and mysterious, with various strange animal patterns carved on it. Even ordinary people can see its extraordinaryness at a glance.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, and the strange fire in his body seemed to feel the call, pouring into the cauldron through the fire inlet of the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron.
The flame burned fiercely in the medicine cauldron, and the temperature rose rapidly. The whole room was shrouded in a hot breath.
When the temperature in the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron rose to the right temperature, Xiao Ling moved his mind, and the medicinal materials under his control seemed to be given life and flew lightly into the embrace of the medicine cauldron.
As soon as the herbs entered the alchemy cauldron, Xiao Ling's mind turned slightly, and the strange fire seemed to have spirituality, turning into dozens of tiny flames, each of which gently wrapped a herb and began to refine them.
Xiao Ling was multitasking, but he didn't seem to be struggling at all. His technique was still smooth and unhurried.
Under the high temperature refining of the strange fire, the essence of the herbs was extracted little by little, condensed into drops of crystal clear liquid, as pure as morning dew.
And those herb residues that could not withstand the high temperature of the strange fire, under the baptism of the flame, turned into wisps of light smoke, rising lightly, and disappeared with the wind, leaving no trace.
When the essence of the last herb was extracted, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and his hands began to form seals quickly, and each seal fell accurately on the alchemy cauldron.
Under his control, the essence of the liquid medicine began to condense and fuse, gradually forming an irregular pill prototype.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling adjusted the temperature of the strange fire and used a gentler flame to warm the pill.
This process requires great patience and precise control, and any small mistake may lead to the failure of the pill.
On the table and chair beside the alchemy room, Hai Bodong sat there quietly, his eyes like a torch, closely following Xiao Ling's every move.
He couldn't help but reveal an incredible expression on his face, as if he had seen such a magical alchemy skill for the first time.
Hai Bodong had not seen the techniques of other alchemists. He had witnessed the alchemy process of Dan Wang Guhe and the superb skills of the president of the Alchemist Guild, the weight.
Even the masters who enjoyed a high reputation in the alchemy world of the Jiama Empire were far different from Xiao Ling's skills.
Xiao Ling's skills were so skilled that from the extraction of medicinal materials to the condensation of essence, every link was as smooth as a naturally flowing stream, without any hindrance.
His movements were not only extremely precise, but also so fast that it was dazzling, as if watching a visual feast.
Especially his calm demeanor, which formed a sharp contrast with those alchemists who seemed exhausted during the process of refining medicine.
Hai Bodong was full of admiration, and he thought to himself: "Xiao Ling is worthy of being known as the 'No. 1 Alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire'. His alchemy skills are superb and cannot be compared with ordinary people. Now that he has broken through to the Dou Zong realm, what kind of unpredictable level has his alchemy skills reached? Perhaps, he has touched the legendary... the threshold of the seventh-grade alchemist, and has even become a seventh-grade alchemist!"
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Hai Bodong was shocked by his own conjecture. Although this idea sounds absurd, if it happens to Xiao Ling, everything seems so logical.
Hai Bodong was immersed in the memories of the past, and the scene of his first meeting with Xiao Ling a few years ago emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
He smiled softly and thought to himself with relief: "Haha, the old man's vision is still so sharp. Fortunately, I had a good relationship with him back then, otherwise, my current situation is really unimaginable."
Three hours later, with the fall of the last seal, the atmosphere in the medicine room seemed to reach its peak.
Xiao Ling's hands slowly stopped, and he gently moved, and the flames in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron went out, leaving only a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.
Then, Xiao Ling waved his sleeves lightly, and a round and translucent pill emitting a faint light, as if given life, flew out lightly and landed steadily in his palm.
Hai Bodong's eyes were fixed on the pill, and a flash of excitement that was difficult to conceal flashed across his eyes.
In his eyes, the pill was like a bright pearl, stirring up ripples in his heart.
His breathing became rapid unconsciously, and his eyes revealed his extreme desire for the pill.
Xiao Ling turned around, with a gentle smile, and handed the shining Huangji Pill to Hai Bodong, with a bit of joking in his tone: "Mr. Hai, it seems that you are impatient."
Hai Bodong took the pill, and the smile on his face was full of satisfaction. He laughed heartily: "Haha, it is indeed as Master Xiao Ling said, I have been looking forward to the magical effect of this Huangji Pill for a long time."
Xiao Ling nodded gently, "I completely understand your feelings. When you refine the medicinal power of the Huangji Pill, we will meet again."
Hai Bodong laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm for future breakthroughs Looking forward to it: "Master Xiao Ling's generous help, I will remember it in my heart. If you need my help in the future, just tell me, I will spare no effort."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, calm and composed, and expressed his gratitude to Hai Bodong in a humble and sincere manner: "Mr. Hai is too polite. Between us, friends help each other without saying anything."
Hai Bodong clasped his fists again, "Haha, then I'll take my leave first." Then, he turned and left the alchemy room, a pair of gorgeous ice crystal wings spread out behind him, and his figure quickly rose into the air and flew towards the Mittel family.
