Chapter 1061: The Future Alchemy Sage

rrifying to hear about the heart of the earth, especially the very famous heart fire domain. Here, people were not unfamiliar with it; their flames were even more terrifying now, and they could only w...The medicinal ingredients required for refining Qi Spirit丹 were particularly special. Although they were fruits, they grew on the roots and the roots grew very long during their growth period. Because of this, there were many issues that could arise which would lead to the waste of these medicinal ingredients. The majority of the collected waste was the medicinal fruits of the Profound Earth, which were not fully ripe yet due to various reasons when they weren’t able to be planted. Each fruit was connected by a tree root that was as big around as a human’s wrist, whereas the fruits were only slightly larger than children’s fists. They appeared wrinkled and had a slight red tinge, radiating a faint aura of qi.

Zhang Yanqing quickly classified two fruits that were somewhat decent and threw them into the pill furnace, beginning to refine them. As these medicinal fruits were of very low quality, combining two of them together would allow their medicinal qi to be more abundant. However, without a certain level of skill, most pill refiners would find it difficult to combine two of them together for refinement.

This was not a challenge for Shen Xiang. Not only could he combine them together, but even ten or one hundred would not be a problem for him.

The Profound Earth fruit was the only main medicinal ingredient required for refining Qi Spirit丹. These fruits were connected by a piece of tree root, and this tree root was not simple. As long as it was connected to the Profound Earth fruit, its qi could continue absorbing external qi and spirit qi. This would prevent the Profound Earth fruit from dying too fast.

"What a waste! Why did you throw away this piece of root It’s as important as the Profound Earth fruit!" Su Meiyao, using her spiritual sense, saw Zhang Yanqing separating the Profound Earth fruit from its root and throwing away the root. She thought that it was a great loss.

Shen Xiang picked up the piece of tree root and was able to sense the strange qi within it. It was indeed something very important, but this tree root was also very unusual as it was stiff like iron and contained many impurities.

"After absorbing a large amount of qi, the Profound Earth tree sends its qi to the roots. This allows them to grow, but when they become very long, it hardens like iron, forming the Profound Earth fruit. The medicinal qi within the Profound Earth fruit is transformed from this piece of tree root, thus containing the same strange medicinal qi as the Profound Earth fruit! If you refine this piece of tree root, and separate out those impurities, the quality of your Profound Earth fruit will be like a perfect one." Su Meiyao said.

"This isn’t difficult for me. I’ve refined a crystal vein before, many mountains and hills. This piece of wood is not difficult," said Shen Xiang as he directly threw the tree root and fruit into the pill furnace. He only cleaned some of the trash that could be removed.

"Does he know how to refine pills He’s just throwing the root of Profound Earth fruit into it. Is he refuting something or refining pills This piece of tree root is even harder to refine than iron!"

"Although there’s quite a bit of medicinal qi within this piece, to refine it completely, it would be very difficult! Even Zhang Yanqing with Heavenly Fire can’t do this. His fire is just ordinary mortal fire."

"Stop laughing at him, if you guys were to put this piece of tree root into it, you might have blown up the pill furnace by now! Look at him, the fire is stable and steady. The fire fluctuates up and down quickly but doesn’t lose its rhythm." An old man stroked his long beard.

There were many people watching this competition at the entrance of Xi Yi Pavilion, and there were also quite a few pill refiners among them. However, very few of them could actually see the essence of pill refining techniques. Any pill refiner with a high level of proficiency in pill refinement could see that Shen Xiang’s foundation was very solid. Zhang Yanqing, who had been defeated by Shen Xiang before in pill refinement techniques, couldn’t help but reassess him. After all, Shen Xiang had once won the first place in the Holy Dan Realm.

According to his sensing of Shen Xiang’s changes in the pill furnace, a few pill refiners knew that this was the first time Shen Xiang refined such a pill. They could also see that Shen Xiang corrected his mistakes multiple times using the performance technique. If other pill refiners did this, they would definitely be in a mess at their first try, but Shen Xiang was not concerned about this because he included the tree root in his refinement.

Lin Xiyan and Fan Yukan knew Shen Xiang’s abilities. He had defeated them in pill refinement techniques before, and he once won the first place back then in the Holy Dan Realm. Therefore, they trusted him very much now and were looking forward to seeing how he would impress them.

The refinement of Qi Spirit丹 wasn’t that difficult, but it became slightly harder when the tree root was included. It wasn’t hard for Shen Xiang to refine away the tree root, but the real challenge was in time constraints. He only had one day to refine everything, and his opponent was a truly talented pill refiner who was very good at refining Qi Spiritdan. Shen Xiang guessed that Zhang Yanqing had plenty of experience in refining discarded medicinal ingredients before, and pill refiners who could transform waste into pills were very sought-after in their respective factions. However, they weren’t very common.

Indeed, Zhang Yanqing refined his second batch quickly and only managed to refine one pill. However, his goal was to compare the number of pills refined instead of the quantity. Shen Xiang believed that he could refine two pills after including the tree root!

"Heavenly Fire is indeed powerful. Compared to my Heavenly Dao Fire, it’s much stronger!" Although Shen Xiang was closed-eyed, the situation in Zhang Yanqing’s pill furnace appeared very clearly before him. As a cultivator, he could easily see this with his powerful spiritual force. Moreover, the other party’s pill furnace only relied on winning by default.

The stronger the fire was, the faster it burned spiritual medicine. Many high-level spiritual medicines were very “stubborn”. Not only was it hard to burn the materials, but their medicinal qi was also very “wild”. If there were enough strong flames, those medicinal qi would become more gentle in the appropriate strong flame. Having a powerful fire didn’t mean to burn recklessly, but rather controlling the heat of the flame according to the refiner’s experience and suppressing medicinal qi. Otherwise, this could lead to the failure of pill refinement.

"What’s with that His Heavenly Fire has limited growth potential, and it’s still far from becoming Chaos Flame. But your Heavenly Dao Fire evolved into Heavenly Dao Heavenly Flame, which is already close to the Dao. Even if Chaos Flame were stronger, it’s still within the Dao." Su Meiyao said.

Shen Xiang was multitasking. He performed the dual technique refinement while refining his own batch of Qi Spirit丹, and he also watched Zhang Yanqing’s pill furnace. He learned the pill refinement method of Zhang Yanqing and made improvements accordingly, which made him gain a lot.

Zhang Yanqing refined another batch quickly, and many old pill refiners were ashamed of themselves when they saw the speed. Many people guessed that Zhang Yanqing might finish refining his batch of Qi Spiritdan pills within half a day, and he could also refine Shen Xiang’s medicinal ingredients later!

Despite this, Shen Xiang remained calm and didn’t show any signs of nervousness. This kind of mentality was impressive, although many people didn’t believe in him.

Within moments, Zhang Yanqing refined another batch again. The speed was even faster than before, making many pill refiners give out incredulous exclamations. Now, everyone understood why Zhang Yanqing was called the Future Dan Saint!se soul and God Pattern together. This was something Yu'er didn't think of before.Yang Tianyi nodded. He knew that Shen Xiang was good at alchemy, and chuckled, "Then let me be the rude one, but I nee...
