Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1814 - 1796: Actually Refined Five Pills
Upon speaking, Fang Yan took his Pill Furnace out from his Space Ring and tossed it directly to Ba Qing. This furnace could only refine some Profound Grade elixirs and might break at any moment. It couldn’t bear to refine Earth Grade elixirs, fearing it would explode upon refining. Therefore, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to help Ba Qing, he truly couldn’t.
Ba Qing was initially happy upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, but as he listened further, his heart grew heavy again, fearing this hope would become a bubble. When Fang Yan threw the Pill Furnace into his hands, only then did he understand what Fang Yan meant. Fang Yan’s furnace was broken, with many cracks on its surface. Forget about Earth Grade elixirs, even Profound Grade ones might be hard to refine.
Unconsciously, his eyebrows knit together as he began to think for Fang Yan. After a while, his eyes lit up and he said to Fang Yan, "If the Pill Furnace is feasible, how many Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills can you refine?"
The reason for asking this was that he came up with a solution. If Fang Yan could refine many Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills, then all problems could be solved, and Fang Yan would also receive corresponding benefits.
"Refining this kind of elixir for the first time, I am not sure of a one-time success. But if you have more than two sets, I can guarantee at least three pills." Fang Yan looked at Ba Qing, understanding that Ba Qing was trying to think of a solution for him. After a brief contemplation, he gave his estimate. In fact, Fang Yan was still being modest. He had an eighty-percent confidence in a one-time success. If he refined it a second time, he was almost certain of success.
But he didn’t say these aloud, as Fang Yan had his own interests. The materials for the Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pill were indeed hard to gather. If he could keep some in reserve, it would be good. Who could say he wouldn’t want to be like his original self, collecting a few demon beast followers for fun or directly contracting with a demon beast? These were uncertain possibilities.
"That’s no problem then. I’ve gathered two sets of alchemy materials over the years, this is truly great, wait for me!" Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, Ba Qing’s face lit up with a smile. Despite his disheveled appearance, he immediately soared into the sky, turning into a streak of azure light shooting into the distance!
Fang Yan didn’t understand what Ba Qing was up to, so he didn’t move. He just stood in place waiting, using his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings. It surprised Fang Yan a lot that Ba Qing could bypass his Divine Sense. He didn’t want to encounter similar demon beasts again or fall into any danger as this place could very well have demon beasts of Demon Venerable rank...
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ba Qing returned from afar, came directly to Fang Yan, and handed him a Pill Furnace: "Look at this Pill Furnace, if it’s okay, you can use it for alchemy. This is a treasure from an old friend of mine. I agreed with him to exchange two Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills for it. Of course... if you can’t refine three pills at least, this has to be returned."
Receiving the Pill Furnace, Fang Yan examined it carefully. This furnace was all earthy yellow with a sense of ancient charm. The material was unknown, but upon close inspection, three ancient seal characters were faintly discernible on the furnace’s body - Square Sky Furnace.
As he raised his hand, the Alchemy Fire appeared. As soon as the Alchemy Fire shot into the furnace, the ancient-looking furnace underwent a transformation. A rich aromatic scent emerged, and four scarlet-yellow bright lines respectively stretched along the furnace’s four walls. As the temperature rose, these lines gradually formed the figures of four Sacred Beasts around the furnace!
What a fine piece, this furnace is certainly extraordinary!
Upon seeing this, Fang Yan’s eyes lit up. Although he didn’t know the origin of the Square Sky Furnace, from his experience, this furnace was definitely not inferior to his original black furnace, definitely a rare treasure. Unexpectedly, when he desperately needed a good furnace for refining, he ran into such a wonderful furnace.
"This furnace is no ordinary item, where did you get it from?" Looking at Ba Qing, Fang Yan asked directly. The demon beast Ba Qing was excellent, and he didn’t want to deceive him. Good things are good things, and even if he didn’t say it, the other party would know.
"I got it from a good friend. It’s one of his treasured possessions, said to have been found in the relics of a demon beast whose origins are unknown, or so he claims. Who knows if it’s true or not. Before, I borrowed this furnace from him and negotiated using two Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills to exchange for it. Better give it to you, an alchemist, than just leaving it there unused."
Looking at Fang Yan, Ba Qing smiled as he spoke. He knew the importance of a good Furnace to an alchemist. With such a good Furnace, Fang Yan’s success rate in refining Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills would significantly increase. The reason he was willing to trade two other Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills for the Furnace was also out of self-interest. He couldn’t believe that after going to these lengths, Fang Yan wouldn’t show his thanks.
A good alchemist is extremely rare, especially high-grade ones, and for demon beasts, refining elixirs was far more difficult than for humans. Establishing a friendship with an alchemist like Fang Yan was a tremendous blessing for demon beasts like them.
"Thank you! I will now start refining the Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pill." Hearing Ba Qing’s words, Fang Yan nodded to Ba Qing, expressing his gratitude, then immediately began preparing to start refining.
But how could Ba Qing let Fang Yan refine here? He couldn’t bear the risk of any disturbance causing failure, so he directly took Fang Yan and shot towards a nearby mountain where he had a cave abode. In a ten-mile radius around it, no demon beasts would casually venture close. Refining there would be ideal.
After settling Fang Yan, Ba Qing even volunteered to guard outside. Everything was to prevent any mishaps in the alchemy process. He only had two sets of Spiritual Medicine; generally, an alchemist succeeding with one was already good enough, so he couldn’t afford any failures in this alchemy. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Seeing Ba Qing outside acting as a protector, a slight smile played at Fang Yan’s lips. This time, he was more serious too, repeatedly simulating the alchemy process in his mind to ensure nothing would go wrong before he cautiously began refining.
Since Ba Qing wasn’t there, Fang Yan had nothing to conceal anymore. He directly switched the ordinary Alchemy Fire for the Extreme Cold Ice Fire, filling the large cavern with both freezing and fiery auras that intriguingly did not interfere with each other, permeating the cave’s interior.
With the help of Extreme Cold Ice Fire, the entire alchemy process became much easier than before. If there were unstable areas, Fang Yan could even control the cold qi within the Extreme Cold Ice Fire to slow the alchemy process, preventing the Spiritual Medicine from being scorched, almost like a fire extinguisher, steadily proceeding once no issues were confirmed...
In a blink, five hours passed.
Ba Qing stood not far from the cave entrance, fully vigilant, not daring to be careless. He knew that refining elixirs was a process that consumed immense mental strength and time, especially high-grade elixirs, this was even more so. So, he wasn’t anxious at all, wouldn’t be surprised if Fang Yan took one or two or even three or four days to refine.
Yet as he was intently observing the surrounding environment, suddenly a scent of elixir wafted through the cave entrance, immediately brightening Ba Qing’s eyes. He thought Fang Yan was truly incredible—imagine, the elixir scent was already emerging after only five hours, certainly indicating his Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pill was no problem this time.
Wearing a smile, Ba Qing became more cheerful in scanning the area, not allowing anything untoward to happen. He dared not enter the cave; having the elixir scent did not mean pill formation. Fang Yan would naturally come out if the pills were done.
But in his wildest dreams, he hadn’t expected that just as he thought about it, Fang Yan indeed came out of the cave and approached. Instantly, he understood that the first batch was surely a failure; otherwise, why would Fang Yan come out just as the medicine’s scent appeared?
"It’s okay, there’s still one set. You continue to refine; if not successful, I’ll go search among old friends; maybe I can gather another one," Ba Qing comforted before Fang Yan could speak. Frankly, his heart ached, but he knew he couldn’t blame Fang Yan. Nobody could guarantee success.
Hearing Ba Qing’s words, Fang Yan was momentarily speechless, realizing Ba Qing assumed he had failed. Seeing Ba Qing offering comfort, Fang Yan decided not to tease him and said with a smile, "Who said I failed? Look what’s in this?"
With that, he handed over the bottle containing the freshly refined Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills to Ba Qing with a smile.
That left Ba Qing flabbergasted as he took it, looked at Fang Yan in disbelief, and smiled. When Fang Yan nodded to him, he no longer doubted, carefully opening the bottle to see how many Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills Fang Yan had refined.
One!
Two!
Five!
When Ba Qing saw that Fang Yan had actually refined five Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills, his mind went blank from excitement, almost as if he were about to faint from exhilaration. Looking at Fang Yan felt like gazing upon a super monster, like that of an extinct Sacred Beast, and his admiration for Fang Yan reached an unparalleled level!
This ****** couldn’t still be human! Nobody, not even a Heavenly Grade Alchemist, could guarantee five Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills from just two sets of materials!
Now, the only thought running through Ba Qing’s mind was exactly that: Two sets of spiritual medicine actually produced five Beast Spirit Jade Heart Pills. Nothing else but shame should befall other alchemists, as this was an Earth Grade level two elixir, nowhere near the trash quality of Profound and Yellow Grades, and even a Heavenly Grade Alchemist might not achieve such success on his first try.
