Chapter 558
Xiao Zhan is a genius, no one can deny this.
But when it comes to refining medicine, Xiao Zhan really doesn't know much.
The reason why he was able to successfully refine three elixirs in succession was simple and complex at the same time.
Detailed steps are carved on the stone wall.
But Xiao Zhan made some changes with his own ideas.
That's because Xiao Zhan incorporated some pharmacological knowledge from the Five States World.
As the master of the Temple of War, Xiao Zhan is naturally proficient in pharmacology.
His medical skills are considered top-notch in the entire Five States world.
Although this is different from the principle of alchemy, the pharmacological knowledge involved is clear.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan actually integrated the two major medical systems, and then refined these three elixirs step by step, and they were three elixirs of extremely high quality.
As for Xiao Zhan, he threw all the medicinal materials into the medicine furnace together regardless of time.
This statement is not accurate.
Although Xiao Zhan threw all the medicinal materials into the medicine furnace at the same time, he used his own power to wrap the medicinal materials. Through precise control, the time and temperature of the refining of these medicinal materials in the medicine furnace were different.
Soon, the female disciple who had just left came over followed by a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man, who was also wearing the standard white robe of Yaowang Valley, was approaching with a frown on his face.
His face was serious and he didn't look that easy to contact. He also exuded the aura of the fifth level of Star Glory Realm, which made everyone around him unable to help but move out of the way.
Xiao Zhan frowned.
The female disciple said that she was going to ask the owner of Yaowang Valley.
The middle-aged man in front of me is obviously not.
The middle-aged man walked directly to Xiao Zhan and spread his palms. In his hand was the pill that Xiao Zhan had just refined.
He looked at Xiao Zhan expressionlessly, then glanced at the exploding alchemy furnace next to him, snorted coldly, and said:
"How dare you come to Yaowang Valley to embarrass me even though you are using deceit and deception!"
Hearing this, Ye Wei and others frowned.
The onlookers around him didn't believe that Xiao Zhan could refine the elixir so casually and haphazardly. When they heard the middle-aged man's words, they all agreed.
"Look, I'm telling you he's lying!"
"He must have done something wrong. He must have brought these pills from the beginning!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Zhan showed no expression, clasped his fists at the middle-aged man and said:
"Who is the senior?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly:
"My elder Hong Lu."
"Elder Hong Lu," Xiao Zhan nodded, "You said I committed fraud, do you have any evidence?"
Hong Lu's eyes were full of coldness, "These few pills in my hand are the best evidence."
"To reach this level, even my disciples from Medicine King Valley need at least twenty years of study."
"You, a novice, can't refine it no matter what."
Hong Lu had no intention of explaining in detail, and just said coldly:
"We, Medicine King Valley, open our doors to give people the opportunity to learn how to refine medicine for free."
"But this doesn't mean that anyone can cheat in our Medicine King Valley."
"Now, get out of the Medicine King Valley immediately. If you dare to come closer in the future, you will be killed without mercy!"
As he spoke, the aura on Hong Lu's body rose again, as if he was going to take action against Xiao Zhan at the next moment.
But Xiao Zhan's strength is not weaker than Hong Lu, so he will naturally not be afraid.
"Go away, why are you still standing? You're asking for trouble!"
"Yes, your lie has been exposed and you still dare to stay here. You are so shameless."
"Don't think that just because you have good strength, you can impress people here. This is the Medicine King Valley, and there are so many strong people. Your little strength is not enough."
"Go away, those who are falsifying are not worthy of appearing in Yaowang Valley."
"You all
shut up! Liu Yongjun looked around angrily:
"My eldest brother is not cheating! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
The next moment, Deng Xiaozhuang pulled out his saber, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
Xiao Zhan simply ignored the onlookers and looked at Hong Lu with an indifferent expression:
"Elder Hong Lu, what if I can prove that I refined these elixirs myself?"
Hong Lu almost didn't think about it and said subconsciously:
"If you can prove it, I will apologize to you and recommend you to be the elder of our Medicine King Valley!"
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows:
"Is this true?"
Hong Lu snorted coldly:
"But what if you can't prove it?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head: "If I can't prove it, I'll let you Yaowang Valley handle it."
"Okay!" Hong Lu looked at the crowd of people watching, "You all heard it. He said that if he can't prove it, let me handle it."
"If he can't prove it, in addition to compensating for the medicinal materials and medicine furnace he just consumed, he will also have to kneel here for half a year to let the world know the price of causing trouble in Yaowang Valley!"
"Okay!" the crowd began to cheer.
Xiao Zhan refined three elixirs one after another, which really slapped them in the face.
They didn't believe that there was such a powerful genius in the world, nor did they believe that the gap between themselves and Xiao Zhan would be so big.
The better Xiao Zhan is, the worse they appear.
Therefore, they were very willing to see Xiao Zhan in trouble.
But what they didn't know was that from beginning to end, Xiao Zhan never cared about their thoughts. In other words, he never took them seriously.
"How are you going to prove it?" New
Hong Lu's eyes were closely following Xiao Zhan's every move, as if he felt that Xiao Zhan had other pills in his body.
Xiao Zhan pointed to the continuous stone wall and slowly said:
"Elder Hong, you designate an elixir and I refine it in front of you. If the refining is successful, will it prove that I didn't cheat?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard that Xiao Zhan took the initiative to propose this method.
"This is seeking death!"
"Yes, if Elder Hong specifies an extremely difficult elixir, he will definitely not be able to refine it."
Hong Lu sneered, "Since you want to make things difficult for yourself, I will help you."
His eyes swept over the stone walls, and finally pointed at the pattern on one of the stone walls and said:
"This is the light-returning elixir, a level five elixir."
"This kind of elixir is specially used for those who are strong in the Star Source Realm. After taking it, it can quickly restore the injuries of the strong ones in the Star Source Realm. It is also the highest level elixir that can be refined in the Star Glory Realm."
"Don't say I'm bullying you. I can only reluctantly refine this kind of elixir, and the grade it's refined is not high. If you're afraid, just tell me and I can let you change to a simpler one."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll try something simpler."
Xiao Zhan's originally modest words sounded to everyone's ears as if Xiao Zhan had given up.
Hong Lu smiled disdainfully and then looked at the young female disciple standing behind him.
"Go and find him a higher-end medicine furnace."
Only then did Xiao Zhan see that there was no medicine furnace beside the medicine garden. Obviously, the ordinary medicine furnace could no longer meet the requirements for refining the light-returning pill.
This female disciple had just witnessed Xiao Zhan refining the three pills.
She had the same idea as everyone else at first, that is, it was impossible for Xiao Zhan to refine such a pill, but Xiao Zhan just did it.
Hong Lu said that Xiao Zhan was cheating, but she kept an eye on Xiao Zhan the whole time and did not find that Xiao Zhan was suspected of cheating.
When she heard Hong Lu's words, she thought differently from others. She looked forward to seeing Xiao Zhan succeed.
Moreover, she had an intuition that Xiao Zhan would definitely succeed.
This thought appeared in her head, and the woman herself was shocked.
Soon, she brought back a half-meter-high copper medicine furnace with two ears and three legs, and some simple patterns carved on it. It was at least much more advanced than the original pottery furnace.
Not only that, she also took the initiative to take the green paulownia wood and lit a flame under the medicine stove.
Xiao Zhan walked to the medicine garden and picked the needed medicinal materials with his own hands. There were more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Zhan without blinking, for fear that Xiao Zhan would cheat in the process.
When Xiao Zhan stood next to the medicine stove, these people all had an illusion.
Is it possible that Xiao Zhan can really refine this light elixir?
Soon, the green paulownia wood completely burned.
The medicine furnace began to emit blazing high temperatures, and the surrounding air became hot.
Almost in an instant, Xiao Zhan threw all the medicinal materials into the medicine furnace just like before.
Seeing this scene, everyone frowned.
That does not work!
But Xiao Zhan had just used this method to successfully refine high-quality elixirs.
Hong Lu clasped his hands in front of him and sneered again and again.
Xiao Zhan ignored the reactions of these people and accurately controlled his power to wrap every medicinal material in the medicine furnace.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The aroma of medicine has begun to spread from the alchemy furnace.
Hong Lu gradually frowned.
Because according to his inference, the medicinal materials in the medicine furnace should be turned into ashes immediately.
But in fact, the medicinal materials in the medicine furnace are still intact as before, but all the medicinal effects have been condensed, forming a bean-sized pill in the medicine furnace.
Xiao Zhan gently raised his hand, and all the medicinal materials that had lost their medicinal properties flew out. The moment they flew out, they turned into fly ash and were blown back to the medicine garden.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the steps carved on the stone wall and began to change his movements. He covered the medicine furnace with his hands and controlled the pills in the medicine furnace to rotate rapidly.
This is to further absorb the temperature in the medicine furnace and the remaining medicinal properties.
After a while, as expected, dense cracks appeared on the medicine furnace again.
Hong Lu said in a deep voice:
"Everyone steps back another ten feet. If this medicine furnace explodes, the power will be more than ten times that of a clay furnace explosion."
But this time, the medicine furnace did not explode.
As soon as Xiao Zhan raised his hand, a milky-white, bean-sized pill floated in front of Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan did not stop, but used his own power to wrap the medicine furnace, and at the same time added some green paulownia wood to the bottom of the medicine furnace.
The temperature begins to rise rapidly.
Visible to the naked eye, the entire medicine furnace turned red, and showed signs of melting in the next moment, and the dense cracks were reunited.
Xiao Zhan immediately stopped what he was doing.
You can see that the medicine stove, which was originally a little rusty, has become brand new.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Zhan extinguished the unburnt green paulownia trees under the medicine stove. Then he raised his hand and threw it, and the milky white pill in his hand flew towards Hong Lu.
Hong Lu subconsciously reached out to catch it.
Looking at the Light-Returning Pill in his hand, he was stunned on the spot and completely speechless.
Someone in the crowd was stunned for a long time, and then shouted:
"He must have cheated, definitely!"
But this time, no one else echoed his words.
Just kidding, how can someone cheat when so many people are watching it with their own eyes.
Even Hong Lu looked at Xiao Zhan with shock on his face.
There was a deep-seated reason why he chose the Light-Returning Pill.
Because Light-Returning Pills are rare and almost impossible to buy in the market.
Therefore, the possibility of Xiao Zhan cheating will be greatly reduced.
And as soon as he opened
Hajime didn't lie. Even Hong Lu himself, after refining it ten times, was only able to successfully refine the light-returning elixir once. Moreover, it was an extremely low-quality light-returning elixir that would almost be scrapped.
But the light-returning pill that Xiao Zhan had just refined was obviously of extremely high quality.
Hong Lu took a deep look at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan asked with a smile:
"Elder Hong Lu, can this light-returning pill be successfully refined?"
Hong Lu remained silent for a long time.
If he admitted that the light-returning pill was successfully refined, it would be equivalent to admitting that Xiao Zhan did not cheat.
Then, his initial doubts about Xiao Zhan would become his own shame.
Others would say that he is blind.
He would say that he, Hong Lu, was not good at his own abilities, and also said that others were not good at it, just because he was jealous of other people's talents.
Moreover, if he recommended Xiao Zhan as the elder of Yaowang Valley according to the initial agreement, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he lowers his head but does not raise his head again?
Thinking of this, Hong Lu snorted coldly, put the pills in his hands directly into his arms, and then looked at Xiao Zhan indifferently:
"Of course it was not refined successfully."
"This elixir is not a light-returning elixir at all."
"This is a Spirit-Returning Pill that is very similar to the Light-Returning Pill. Although it is rare in the world, it can still be purchased."
"Others didn't see it, but I saw it just now. When you were extracting the medicinal properties, this pill fell from your sleeve into the medicine furnace."
