"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<...Zhou Chi originally followed Fang Zhendong in alchemy, but after studying for many years, he still only knew how to prepare herbs and control fire, and could not refine pills on his own.
However, Fang Han discovered that Zhou Chi was more suited to weapon crafting, so he moved Zhou Chi to the weapon crafting section.
His mother, Tang Yumei, was meticulous and suited for alchemy, so he had her work with his father to refine elixirs there.
Tang Yumei had never practiced cultivation before.
However, since she began cultivating the "Eight Desolations Scripture" and the "Nine Revolutions Elixir Scripture," she has already reached the level of a high-level martial artist, and her cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds.
She is now able to refine high-grade Body Tempering Pills on her own.
Fang Zhendong, on the other hand, was already able to refine high-grade Meridian Opening Pills.
"These are the pills refined by your Fang family? Let me take a look."
Master Huang walked steadily into the finished product area of the weapon refining workshop. His eyes were sharp as he scanned the neatly arranged pill bottles one by one, and then he spoke in a calm voice.
It was easy to see from his indifferent expression and tone that he had no expectations for these pills whatsoever.
Especially considering that Fang Han and Ye Qianqiu had previously described these pills as miraculous and of extraordinary quality, in Master Huang's eyes, this was nothing more than the boasting of a few young people, completely unbelievable.
“Master Huang, take a close look, I guarantee you’ll be quite surprised.”
Ye Qianqiu, full of confidence and with a slight upturn of his lips and a mysterious smile, casually took a bottle of pills from the shelf and respectfully handed it to Master Huang.
Master Huang raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He reached out and took the porcelain bottle, casually opened the cap, and gently poured it out. A single pill rolled into his palm.
The pill was a bright yellow, its color so vivid and pure that it was completely free of any impurities, like a meticulously crafted yellow gemstone, radiating a unique brilliance.
"It's just a body tempering pill. Its only function is to allow ordinary mortals to embark on the path of martial arts through body tempering. There's nothing special about it."
Master Huang glanced at the pill in his hand and gave his evaluation without thinking, his tone full of contempt and disdain.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a strange and alluring scent quietly entered his nostrils.
It was a unique, mellow fragrance of medicinal pills, delicate and refreshing, yet extremely penetrating, instantly permeating the heart and mind, and invigorating the spirit.
Master Huang's expression changed instantly. His previously nonchalant gaze became sharp and focused. He quickly brought the pill in his hand closer to his eyes and examined it carefully, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"This is actually a high-grade Body Tempering Pill! It's quite remarkable that someone from a small family like the Fang family could refine such a high-grade Body Tempering Pill."
Master Huang stared at the pill in his hand for a long time before finally letting out a heartfelt exclamation of praise. His tone had lost its previous arrogance and disdain, replaced by surprise and recognition.
“Master Huang, this is nothing. Not to mention top-grade body tempering pills, top-grade meridian opening pills and top-grade qi transformation pills, my Fang family can also refine them.”
With a casual flick of his wrist, Fang Han placed a porcelain bottle in Master Huang's hand and said, "Take another look at this pill."
Master Huang was still immersed in the shock brought by the superior body tempering pill, but upon hearing Fang Han's words, a sense of curiosity and doubt arose in his heart.
He subconsciously handed the high-grade Body Tempering Pill back to Ye Qianqiu, his movements revealing a hint of urgency.
Immediately, she carefully took the porcelain bottle from Fang Han with both hands.
This porcelain vase is a bit large and feels heavy in your hand, exuding an antique charm.
Master Huang took a deep breath and slowly opened the bottle cap.
In an instant, a rich and unique aroma of medicinal pills surged out like a flood bursting its banks, instantly filling the entire weapon-refining workshop.
The fragrance is rich and lingering, elegant yet containing a powerful force. Just a light sniff makes everyone feel their pores open up, their spirits lifted, as if they have been instantly injected with a new vitality.
"This...this is clearly the unique scent of top-grade pills!"
Master Huang was suddenly jolted, his pupils contracted sharply, and his face was filled with shock and disbelief.
He could no longer contain his excitement and curiosity. His hands trembled slightly as he eagerly turned the porcelain bottle upside down.
A bright red pill rolled into his palm. This pill was significantly larger than the previous Body Tempering Pill.
The Body Tempering Pill was only the size of a broad bean, while this Meridian Opening Pill was as round and plump as a quail egg.
What's even more amazing is that the surface of the Meridian Opening Pill is covered with a layer of dazzling light. The shimmering light seems to contain endless mysteries and power, making it clear at a glance that it is no ordinary thing.
"Who could have refined this pill? It's actually a top-grade Meridian Opening Pill!"
Master Huang stared wide-eyed at the pill in his hand. The next moment, he could no longer contain his shock and exclaimed in surprise.
"You must be Master Huang? To be honest, I personally refined this pill."
Just as everyone was still in shock, a calm and slightly humble voice came from behind.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fang Han's father, Fang Zhendong, walking out slowly with steady steps.
At this moment, his eyes revealed a hint of tension and awe. After all, for Fang Zhendong, the former head of the Fang family, Master Huang was like a god in the alchemy world of Tianyuan County, and was the idol he had always admired and pursued.
He never dreamed that Master Huang would personally visit the Fang family's alchemy pavilion today. How could he not feel both surprised and apprehensive?
"Are you Fang Zhendong, the head of the Fang family?"
Master Huang sized up Fang Zhendong. He saw that Fang Zhendong was only in his forties, but he was already a beginner-level Martial Grandmaster. Moreover, his alchemy skills were so exquisite. So he asked, "Would you like to become my disciple? If you become my disciple, you will have the opportunity to refine the Qi Transformation Pill in ten years."
“Master Huang, my alchemy skills were taught to me by my son. My son, Fang Han, said that I will be able to refine the Qi Transformation Pill by the end of the year at the latest.”
Fang Zhendong hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"This...how is this possible?"
Master Huang was shocked: "Is Fang Han's alchemy really that exquisite?"
