Trouble’s Come Knocking
Even so, Ye Chen still noticed some clues. Liu Yan’s Realm was not solid, and he vaguely felt a slight wavering. This state was clearly due to excessive pill consumption and the accumulation of Pill Poison in his body.
Now perhaps nothing, the harm of Pill Poison has not yet manifested, but once the Pill Poison breaks out, at best it will lead to Cultivation Deviation, at worst Exploded and Died.
This is equivalent to having a time bomb in the body!
“Junior Ye Chen greets Tower Master Liu.”
Ye Chen respectfully clasped his fists and bowed slightly in greeting.
“Little Friend Ye is too polite. Your Ability has truly impressed this old man!”
Liu Yan laughed heartily and walked over, quickly reaching out to support Ye Chen, and then led him into the Pill Tower, ignoring Xiao Ling beside him.
Xiao Ling didn’t mind, and smiled as he followed.
Although Liu Yan had a noble Identity, as the Inner Sect Pill Tower Tower Master of the Gu Family, he did not have any pretense. Interacting with him felt very comfortable and he was extremely enthusiastic.
“Tower Master Liu is joking. My little tricks are just showing off in front of you, Senior.”
The other party’s enthusiasm made Ye Chen feel a little overwhelmed.
Taking the tea that Liu Yan had poured for him, Ye Chen sat up straight.
He has always been like this. If someone offends him, there will naturally be no good Complexion, but if someone respects him, Ye Chen will naturally treat them well.
Liu Yan’s enthusiasm was largely due to his curiosity about Ye Chen’s Alchemy Technique. After all, Pill Formation in one go was something he had never heard of before.
“Little Friend Ye, don’t laugh at me, old man. I have lived for over eight hundred years, but I am only a Sixth Grade Alchemist. It’s really embarrassing.”
Liu Yan got straight to the point, smiling and saying, “Just now, I heard Xiao Ling say that Little Friend’s Alchemy Method is very special, able to refine the best Grade Pills using the most ordinary Medicinal Materials.”
“I was incredibly shocked and very curious about how Little Friend did it.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen politely smiled, then slowly said, “Tower Master Liu is praising me too much. My Alchemy Method isn’t suitable for everyone. Without a certain Talent, even if they know the subtleties, they may not be able to replicate it successfully.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling and Liu Yan both nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if such a unique method had such a low threshold, it would have already become widespread, and they wouldn’t be so shocked.
“Then is your Talent something your Master taught you?” Xiao Ling asked curiously.
“Of course not. Alchemy is like Cultivation. The Master leads the way, but Cultivation depends on the individual. Even my Master has never had such an Alchemy Method.”
Ye Chen casually made up a reason, which sounded incredibly reasonable.
After all, he truly didn’t have a Master, let alone any teachings.
Seeing that the two were still completely baffled, Ye Chen smiled and said, “Actually, my method is neither difficult nor easy. Simultaneously refining all the Medicinal Materials requires extremely meticulous control of one’s Spiritual Power. In this way, not only can the refined Spirit Liquid be kept at the same Temperature, but the success rate of Pill Formation is greatly increased.”
After he finished speaking, Xiao Ling and Liu Yan both nodded. The two had a certain level of accomplishment in Alchemy and naturally understood what Ye Chen was saying.
“But if that’s the case, wouldn’t the Alchemy Furnace used need to be of exceptionally good Quality? Otherwise, how could it withstand such a scale of Spiritual Power?”
Liu Yan raised his question, which was indeed one of the difficulties.
“Good question. Therefore, we need to use fire as a cauldron, to refine Pills with fire, and to condense Pills with fire,” Ye Chen replied.
“Use fire as a cauldron?!”
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Liu Yan and the other were clearly stunned, momentarily unable to react.
“Using fire as a cauldron, as the name suggests, even without using an Alchemy Furnace, we can still refine Pills out of thin air. This requires extremely strong Spiritual Power control, using Spiritual Power to solidify the Flames, transforming Spirit Fire into a cauldron to refine and condense the Pills.”
Ye Chen didn’t hide anything and spoke truthfully.
“To achieve this level, one must reach an extreme critical point in the control of Spiritual Power; otherwise, the Medicinal Materials will only be burned, resulting in a net loss.”
At this point, the two suddenly understood, and were also amazed by Ye Chen’s Alchemy Method.
This approach is unprecedented.
How terrifying control would be needed to achieve this?!
With their Abilities, the two clearly couldn’t replicate Ye Chen’s method, which is why he said it wasn’t something everyone could succeed at.
Although the difficulty is high, the advantage of using fire as a cauldron can indeed maximize the Quality of the refined Pills.
“Today, hearing Little Friend Ye’s words has truly broadened my horizons, more than reading for a hundred years!” Liu Yan exclaimed.
Xiao Ling beside him also nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement.
Then, the two asked Ye Chen some unique insights into Alchemy, each of which amazed them, making them exclaim that they had wasted so many years.
This made Ye Chen a little embarrassed, feeling that his humble words were somewhat weak.
However, just as the three were chatting happily, a vast voice suddenly came from outside, directly hitting their eardrums.
“Is the Kid from the Wild Domain in the Pill Tower?!”
As soon as these words came out, they interrupted the three’s conversation. Xiao Ling and Liu Yan frowned simultaneously, their eyes showing displeasure.
They were familiar with this voice—it was Third Elder Wei Tianyi!
Besides him, also present was Pavilion Master Wang of the Emerald Pavilion. The two came aggressively, clearly showing malicious intent.
“What do these two old fellows want? Coming to my Pill Tower to cause trouble?!”
Liu Yan frowned. As the Tower Master, throughout the Gu Family, even the Grand Elder had to respect him. He had never feared anyone.
“I’m afraid they’re here to cause trouble. Earlier, Little Friend Ye just saved a Young Man from Pavilion Master Wang’s hands, probably offending them,” Xiao Ling sighed, briefly describing the situation.
“Senior, should I take Tianxing away first? To avoid causing trouble and making things difficult for you both.”
Ye Chen said. After all, it was his own business, and others had no obligation to help.
“Little Friend Ye, don’t worry. Since this old man let you into the Pill Tower, I will protect you here. Anyone who dares to touch a hair on your head will have to ask me, Liu Yan, if I agree!”
Liu Yan snorted coldly, clearly not taking Wei Tianyi and the other seriously.
Wei Tianyi and the other outside received no response for a long time and became impatient.
“Second Elder, Tower Master Liu, I know you two are inside. Dare you come out and speak!”
