"Hmph, then we'll refine it for you to see! Let you see what we're capable of." The descendants of the guardians of the gods of various countries were already arrogant and had never been ridiculed like this. Immediately, several young men walked forward. Looking at their arrogant expressions, it was obvious that they all had extraordinary attainments in alchemy.

What surprised Mu Hanyan slightly was that Zhuang Ping'an was one of them. He was only in his thirties, yet he possessed not only the strength of a great swordsman, but also a skill in alchemy that he was very proud of. Such talent was truly astonishing.

Several people first picked up the recipe and studied it carefully. Soon, their expressions became solemn. Then, they came to the furnace and remained silent for a long while. No one spoke, let alone took action.

"Didn't you want me to see your true abilities just now? Why haven't you taken action yet?" Han Yutang said with a sneer.

Zhuang Ping'an and the others all had red faces, as if they had been slapped hard in the face, but they were speechless.

Needless to say, Mu Hanyan also knew that the refining methods of these pills had surpassed their attainments in alchemy, otherwise she would not have been indifferent to Han Yutang's ridicule.

"With your limited abilities, you actually have the nerve to go to Holy Sword Peak to practice. You are so shameless!" Han Yutang finally found an opportunity and sneered without any hesitation.

After hearing his words, Zhuang Ping'an and others felt even more ashamed, but when they looked at the pill formula and refining method in their hands, they didn't know how to refute.

Mu Hanyan frowned and stepped forward. At that moment, she had no intention of winning over anyone, but after spending so many days together, she had already considered Zhuang Tianping and the others her companions. Seeing them being humiliated, she felt uncomfortable and inexplicably angry.

Seeing Mu Hanyan coming forward, Zhuang Ping'an and others all showed joy on their faces. They had witnessed too many incredible things in Mu Hanyan, and unknowingly, they had developed an almost blind trust in her, as if no matter what problem it was, it would be easily solved in front of her.

But then, their expressions dimmed again. The art of alchemy was different from the art of formation. It had higher requirements and was more difficult to practice. With their talents and the fact that they had been practicing alchemy since childhood and were even praised as alchemy geniuses by their teachers, they were helpless in the face of the recipe in front of them. No matter how powerful Mu Hanyan was, after all, she was old and would probably not be able to do much.

"Young Master Mu, if you refine the pill according to this recipe, although the quality will be several levels higher, the difficulty will also increase exponentially. If it really doesn't work, just forget it. We've already been embarrassed enough, so you don't have to be embarrassed with us." After Mu Hanyan picked up the pill recipe, Zhuang Ping'an said in a very low voice.

The other people also looked at Mu Hanyan. Although they didn't say anything, their expressions showed the same meaning.

Mu Hanyan felt a little touched. Although Zhuang Ping'an and others had not yet trusted her to the point of entrusting their lives to her, they had already begun to protect her honor. They really regarded her as a friend.

"In the eyes of Han Yutang and those disciples of the Holy Court, the countries on our continent are like one body. We prosper together and suffer together. If you must embarrass yourself, what does it matter if I'm one more person?" Mu Hanyan smiled calmly.

Seeing Mu Hanyan's faint smile, Zhuang Ping'an and others felt a deep warmth in their hearts, and they felt a little closer, as if they were close friends who had known each other for many years.

After Mu Hanyan finished speaking, she focused on the recipe and refining method in front of her. Gradually, like Zhuang Ping'an and the others, she frowned solemnly. Then she came to the alchemy furnace and pondered for a moment. Then her brows relaxed and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, Mu Hanyan hurried to the stone shelves holding medicinal herbs. Just as she had suspected, these small square boxes crafted from meteorite were indeed magical storage instruments. While seemingly small in size, each contained medicinal herbs weighing over a thousand kilograms. There were no restrictions on the boxes. Mu Hanyan's mind moved, and with a casual wave of her hand, dozens of herbs appeared before her.

These herbs were not only of exceptional quality, but had also been carefully selected, so Mu Hanyan didn't even have to choose. Holding the herbs, Mu Hanyan approached the alchemy furnace.

Although it is very old and has mottled marks everywhere on the exterior, the cloud-like patterns on the furnace are still clearly visible. An ancient blue dragon appears and disappears in the clouds, giving people a sense of ethereality and mystery. The four ancient seal characters "Cloud Dragon and Nine Heavens" on the furnace are even more simple and crude, and contain infinite meaning.

Yunlong Jiutian, probably this is the name of this alchemy furnace.

Mu Hanyan stopped in front of the alchemy furnace and carefully looked at the various runes engraved on it again, while her right hand slowly practiced the hand gestures.

After taking a closer look at the recipe, she understood why Zhuang Ping'an and the others were at a loss. Compared to similar elixirs from other countries on the mainland, the Holy Court's recipe was significantly more complex, using at least several more, or even dozens, of medicinal ingredients. Therefore, the quality of the elixir was far superior.

Using this recipe, even the so-called masters of alchemy from various continents would probably find it difficult to succeed. Although the recipe included a refining method, compared to the alchemy techniques circulated in various continents, the Holy Court's refining methods were of course more profound and abstruse, and in some places, they were completely different.

Even though Zhuang Ping'an and the others were gifted and had practiced alchemy since childhood, they would have found it difficult to master such techniques. Furthermore, because the recipes and techniques were more complex, forming the elixir was even more challenging, requiring the use of a superior furnace. While the Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace was impressive, the runes on it gave them a headache. With their current abilities, they simply couldn't control such a furnace.

So in the end, even though they were ridiculed and humiliated by Han Yutang, they could do nothing about it. It was because they were not well-trained.

However, Mu Hanyan's alchemy skills came from the Nine Heavens Starfall and the Starfall Eight Desolations Sword. Its mysteries had already exceeded the imagination of ordinary alchemists. The recipe and technique were not difficult for her. The only difficulty was controlling the alchemy furnace. After all, the runes on it were too complicated and cumbersome, and it was difficult to use it freely for a while.

However, her alchemy skills were not inferior to her alchemy skills. After careful study, she gradually understood the runes and only needed to practice for a while.

"Mu Hanyan, this Yunlong Jiutian Furnace is an ancestral treasure of my Holy Court. If you don't have the ability, it's best not to do it. Otherwise, wasting some medicinal materials is a small matter. If you destroy this Yunlong Jiutian Furnace, you won't even be able to afford the compensation." Han Yutang said sarcastically.

Watching him fighting like a child playing house, Mu Hanyan secretly laughed and didn't bother to pay attention to him, continuing to practice the hand seals.
