Chapter 1110 Alchemy in the Alchemy Room
Several younger alchemists looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them mustered up the courage to speak, "My Lord, I can manage to refine a lord-level 'Ning Yuan Dan,' but the success rate is less than 30%..."
"Useless!" Xu Wang suddenly shouted angrily, "How dare you claim a 30% success rate? What a waste of spiritual plants!"
The young alchemist was suddenly silent, damn it.
Luo Li noticed that his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were white.
"Pavilion Master Xu," Luo Li said calmly but without question, "I remember the rules of the Medicine Pavilion. Alchemists who can refine quasi-lord-level pills can try lord-level pill recipes. This..."
"My name is Song Qing," the young man said hurriedly.
Luo Li's eyes moved, the Song family.
She raised her eyes and said, "Since Song Qing has this ability, why not let him try?"
Xu Wang sneered, "You, the City Lord, don't know that the spiritual plants needed for Lord-level elixirs are so precious, how can we treat them as a joke? If everyone tried, the medicine pavilion would have gone bankrupt long ago!"
"Then according to Pavilion Master's opinion, how should we solve the supply problem?" Luo Li asked back.
Xu Wang stroked his beard and pondered: "Unless we can find a few high-level alchemists to join us, or..."
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Lower the quality requirements of the pills."
Luo Li's heart moved.
Lowering the quality? Giving disciples inferior elixirs is tantamount to destroying their talents.
What is Xu Wang’s plan?
"The quality must not be lowered, it cannot be lower than the top grade," Luo Li said firmly, "As for high-level alchemists... I have an idea."
She walked towards an unused purple-gold alchemy furnace in the center, and gently stroked the furnace with her fingers. "Today I will start refining the elixir here. Pavilion Master, could you please give me some pointers?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
Xu Wang was stunned at first, then a flash of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "The city lord wants to make the elixir himself? This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
"What's wrong with that?" Luo Li asked, "I've been learning alchemy since I was a child, and I was able to refine lord-level pills before I turned twenty. Or does the Pavilion Master have other ideas?"
Xu Wang smiled wryly: "In that case, please go ahead, City Lord. I will wait and see."
Luo Li said no more and turned to Song Qingyang: "Go and get some ingredients for the 'Xuanling Pill'."
Xuanling Pill is a Grand Lord-level pill, and it is also an extremely difficult healing pill among the Grand Lord pills, which has extremely high requirements for the alchemist.
There was a flash of surprise in Song Qing's eyes, but he still quickly prepared.
The alchemy room suddenly became quiet, with only the faint sound of the burning spiritual fire under the alchemy furnace.
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth. He obviously did not believe that this young city lord could really refine the Xuanling Pill of the Grand Lord level.
Song Qing quickly took out a jade box and handed it to Luo Li respectfully: "City Lord, these are the ingredients for three Xuanling Pills."
Luo Li took the jade box and lightly stroked the lid with her fingertips. The neatly arranged spiritual plants in the box immediately emitted a lustrous luster.
She glanced at each spiritual plant, and suddenly paused, "This three-hundred-year-old Moonlight Grass is beginning to lose its spiritual energy."
She frowned, "How did you preserve it?"
Xu Wang's face changed when he heard this: "City Lord, you are wrong. This Moonlight Grass is clearly——"
"The roots are yellowing, and there are gray lines between the veins of the leaves." Luo Li picked up the spiritual herb with two fingers and displayed it in front of everyone. "This is a sign of improper storage leading to the loss of medicinal properties. Elder Mo, has the spiritual plant storage formation in the medicine pavilion been inspected recently?"
Mo Wuyan's forehead was covered in sweat. "Reporting to the City Lord, I just checked last month..."
"Go check it again," Luo Li put the Moonlight Grass back into the box and took out a crystal-clear spiritual herb from the space ring, "Use mine."
"Millennium Moonlight Grass?!" an elderly alchemist exclaimed in shock.
Xu Wang's face turned completely gloomy.
Millennium Moonlight Grass is extremely rare; even the medicine cabinet has no more than twenty plants in stock. Yet, she casually pulled one out...
Luo Li said no more, tapped the alchemy furnace lightly with her fingertips, and the lid of the furnace rose up.
She pinched her left hand and a fire of law burst out from her palm.
"Chaos Soul Fire!" Song Qing exclaimed excitedly, "Sure enough, the rumors are true!"
Luo Li brought the Chaos Soul Fire close to the alchemy furnace and found that the furnace began to melt.
She frowned and decided to use her own alchemy furnace.
She raised her hand and waved it, the alchemy furnace was flicked aside, and then a alchemy furnace appeared in front of her.
"hiss--"
The people around gasped, "Is this the Five-Colored Divine Gold?!"
Luo Li looked focused, and with his right hand he made a vague stroke above the jade box, and spiritual plants flew into the alchemy furnace one by one.
Her movements were so smooth that everyone except Xu Wang, who looked surprised, murmured in amazement.
The alchemy room was completely silent, and everyone stared with bated breath.
Xu Wang's expression became increasingly ugly—this technique, this ability to control fire, was definitely not fake!
An hour later, a clear humming sound began to be heard from the furnace, and the furnace body was emitting a lustrous purple-gold light.
Luo Li suddenly formed seals with her hands, and a force of light law was injected into the furnace: "Condensate!"
"Boom--" The furnace cover shot up into the sky, and dozens of streams of light flew out of the furnace, drawing graceful arcs in the air.
Luo Li waved her sleeves, and the crystal clear pill fell into the jade bottle in her hand.
"Nearly a hundred...all of them are top quality..." Mo Wuyan's voice trembled.
It is rare to produce five Xuanling Pills in one furnace. This is simply a miracle!
Besides, she had clearly only used three spiritual plants, so logically, she could only produce thirty pills at most.
To what extent did she compress the spiritual power within the spiritual plant to achieve this?!
Luo Li handed the jade bottle to Song Qing: "Test the pill."
Song Qing carefully poured out one, and saw that the pill was crystal clear, with seven natural dan patterns on the surface, exuding a strong vitality.
His fingers were shaking with excitement. "Seven-patterned top-grade Xuanling Pill! This... this medicine is probably more than three times more effective than ordinary top-grade Xuanling Pills!"
The whole room was in uproar, and all the alchemists gathered around, their eyes filled with shock and admiration.
Xu Wang stood there, his face ashen.
Luo Li looked at Xu Wang and said calmly, "Pavilion Master Xu, can we talk about the supply of elixirs now?"
Xu Wang's lips trembled, and after a long while he squeezed out a sentence: "The city lord's alchemy skills... I admire them..."
"From today on, all alchemists above the Emperor level in the Medicine Pavilion will be divided into three groups. I will personally guide them in refining Lord-level pills."
Luo Li looked around at everyone. "Also, the spiritual plant storage formation in the medicine pavilion needs a comprehensive overhaul. If you're still unsure, go find Song Wanbai. Elder Mo will be in charge of this matter."
Mo Wuyan quickly bowed and said, "I obey your command!"
"As for Pavilion Master Xu..." Luo Li's gaze fell on Xu Wang, "He's old now, it's time for him to have a good rest. From today on, the management of the Medicine Pavilion will be temporarily in the hands of Elder Mo."
Xu Wang suddenly raised his head: "City Lord! I have been in the medicine pavilion for more than forty years. Even if I have no merits, I have..."
