The first volume debuts Chapter 50 Quasi-third-level alchemist?
After getting the herbs, the two of them immediately began to refine them, and Chen Wei was fully focused. The purpose of this competition was not only to humiliate Li Xuanfeng, but more importantly to perform in front of Ouyang Danqing. It would be perfect if he could get his favor and accept him as a disciple.
However, Li Xuanfeng's performance disappointed Ouyang Danqing and his grandson. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he didn't know how to use the alchemy furnace at all. He looked at Chen Wei's refining method and fumbled for a while before starting to refine.
As the medicine was being refined, the aroma of the medicine began to emanate from the furnace, and Ouyang Danqing could not help shaking his head again. As a master of alchemy, he could roughly identify whose medicine was of higher quality from the aroma of the medicine. At this time, he looked at Chen Wei with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After an incense stick of time, Chen Wei's pill came out of the furnace, and its quality reached the middle grade. Then Li Xuanfeng's pill came out of the furnace, which was a low-grade Lingji pill with a hint of black. Ouyang Danqing shook his head helplessly. This was a sign that the pill was almost not made. What Li Xuanfeng refined was a low-grade Lingji pill, and it was the worst kind!
Although Li Xuanfeng's cultivation was only at the Perfection of the Rongling Realm, most alchemists could already use the power of the alchemy furnace to refine Lingji Pills at the Perfection of the Rongling Realm, and those with high qualifications could even refine mid-grade Lingji Pills. Li Xuanfeng could only barely refine low-grade Lingji Pills, and he was almost unable to complete the pill, so his qualifications could only be considered ordinary.
Ouyang Shan was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She was already thinking in her heart that it turned out that her grandfather could also make mistakes. The person he sent her to invite turned out to have such ordinary alchemy talent. It seemed that she could take this opportunity to make fun of him.
Ouyang Danqing was already considering expelling the disciple who was collecting intelligence, saying that Li Xuanfeng had a very high aptitude for alchemy, and asked him to send someone to invite him personally. Unexpectedly, his aptitude was very ordinary, and it seemed that he could not even use the alchemy furnace.
"How shameful!" When Chen Wei saw the pills made by Li Xuanfeng, he mocked them even more unscrupulously. He no longer worried that Li Xuanfeng could surpass him in alchemy.
Li Xuanfeng did not explain, but continued to put in herbs to refine the pill. Chen Wei had no choice but to give up mocking him and continued to refine the pill, preparing to mock him again after three attempts.
Li Xuanfeng seemed to have become much more skilled in refining this time. He first took out the herbs and used spiritual fire to extract the essence, and then put them into the alchemy furnace for fusion and refining.
The disappointed Ouyang Danqing and his grandson were surprised to find that Li Xuanfeng was extremely skilled in controlling the spiritual fire. The herbs were spinning in the spiritual fire, and the impurities were quickly removed, and the movements were smooth and flowing.
Soon, the aroma of medicine came out again, and this time Ouyang Danqing's eyes showed surprise. Sure enough, after an incense stick of time, Li Xuanfeng refined a medium-grade Lingji Pill, and Ouyang Danqing could tell that it was a good quality medium-grade one.
At this time, Chen Wei also refined a mid-grade Lingji Pill again. He was extremely surprised to see that Li Xuanfeng had also refined a mid-grade Lingji Pill, and he immediately denied Li Xuanfeng.
"You must be lucky, otherwise how could you refine a mid-grade spiritual base pill?"
Although Ouyang Danqing didn't say anything, he looked at Chen Wei with disappointment. If alchemists could make pills just by luck without deep alchemy experience, alchemists wouldn't be so rare. Li Xuanfeng's control over the spirit fire fully reflected his deep alchemy experience , and Chen Wei's random ridicule could only represent his ignorance.
"I've never used an alchemy furnace before, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it." Li Xuanfeng said truthfully. It was indeed because he didn't master the control method when he used the alchemy furnace for the first time that he produced the worst quality the first time, and the second time was only a medium quality product.
"He hasn't practiced alchemy well, but he pretends to be very good at it. He relied on luck to refine a mid-level product, and said that he is not used to using the alchemy furnace." Chen Wei would not believe that Li Xuanfeng could only refine a mid-level spirit-based pill because he was not used to using the alchemy furnace. If he was familiar with it, he would be able to refine a top-level one.
Li Xuanfeng was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Wei's ridicule. Explanations were useless. He just slapped him in the face with reality.
The two continued to refine for the third time. Chen Wei, who had already refined two mid-level products, planned to try to refine a high-level product this time, so as to make Li Xuanfeng, who relied on luck to refine, feel ashamed.
During this refining session, unlike Chen Wei who was nervously concentrating on refining with all his strength, Li Xuanfeng seemed very relaxed and became more and more adept at it.
As the aroma of medicine continued to waft, Ouyang Danqing's eyes became brighter as he looked at Li Xuanfeng.
In the first two times of refining, Li Xuanfeng already knew the principle of the alchemy furnace. The so-called alchemy furnace is to concentrate all the energy on refining the essence of herbs during alchemy, making it easier to make the elixir and improving the quality of the elixir.
The previous refining results were not ideal because Li Xuanfeng was not able to perfectly control the power of the alchemy furnace.
Li Xuanfeng perfectly controlled the spiritual fire to extract the essence of the herbs. The essence of the herbs continued to rotate between Li Xuanfeng's hands along with the spiritual fire. When the last herb was extracted, Li Xuanfeng controlled all the herb essences to be put into the alchemy furnace.
Then he controlled the spiritual fire to burn the bottom of the furnace, and everything went smoothly, as if he was making a work of art.
Even Ouyang Shan's eyes were shining with surprise. Although she was already able to refine top-grade spiritual base pills, she was completely unable to do it so smoothly.
At this time, Chen Wei began to sweat on his forehead. The process of his attempt to refine a top-grade Spiritual Base Pill was not going smoothly. He was also anxious because he saw Li Xuanfeng refine a mid-grade Spiritual Base Pill. At this time, the aura in the pill furnace was already showing signs of instability.
Li Xuanfeng's refining speed was ahead this time, and it took only a little more than half an incense stick to complete the refining. The pill that came out of the furnace was a top-grade spiritual base pill.
As the pills came out of the furnace, Ouyang Danqing showed a satisfied smile. And Ouyang Shan was also very surprised. She didn't expect that Li Xuanfeng's pills would become higher and higher in quality in the three times, and finally reached the top grade.
Both of them had doubts in their minds. Was it true that he was not used to using the alchemy furnace? Then he was familiar with it too quickly.
At this time, Chen Wei saw that Li Xuanfeng had actually refined a top-grade spiritual base pill, and at such a fast speed. His already unstable furnace was completely out of control because of his mood swings at this time. With a dull bang, the herbal essence in the furnace exploded directly and became waste.
Chen Wei's expression became lost, and he, who had been sarcastic towards Li Xuanfeng, became silent. He never expected that his confident alchemy skills would still lose to the Li Xuanfeng whom he hated so much. He wanted to humiliate Li Xuanfeng, but it seemed that he was humiliating himself.
After three refining attempts, Li Xuanfeng produced the highest-grade Lingji Pill, while Chen Wei only produced a mid-grade one. The result was obvious. The confident Chen Wei lost to Li Xuanfeng.
"Mr. Li is indeed incredibly talented. His cultivation level is only at the Perfection of the Spirit Rong Realm, but he is able to refine top-grade spiritual base pills. Would you consider joining my Pill Pavilion? I will treat you as a quasi-third-level alchemist." Ouyang Danqing invited Li Xuanfeng with a smile on his face. He finally saw the amazing talent that the disciple who provided the information mentioned.
"A quasi-third-level alchemist!" Chen Wei couldn't help but exclaimed. He has only reached the second-level alchemist now, and it took a long time of hard work to achieve it. He didn't expect that Ouyang Danqing would directly offer Li Xuanfeng the treatment of a quasi-third-level alchemist.
Offering the treatment of a quasi-third-level alchemist means that Elder Ouyang believes that Li Xuanfeng can definitely become a third-level alchemist in the future, which shows that he values Li Xuanfeng's qualifications very much.
Even Ouyang Shan was extremely surprised. You know, her grandfather was a man of sharp eyes and rarely gave guaranteed treatment to alchemists. She didn't expect that he valued Li Xuanfeng so much. However, his qualifications were indeed amazing.
"Don't talk about this now, let me refine the pill again." Li Xuanfeng was fully focused on refining the perfect Lingji Pill. He ignored Ouyang Danqing's invitation and directly took out the herbs from the storage bag to refine for the fourth time. This was no longer an alchemy competition, so it was no problem to use his own herbs to refine.
Time passed quickly. Half an incense stick later, the alchemy furnace in front of Li Xuanfeng was opened again. Although the quality of the pill was slightly improved compared to the last time, it was still a top-grade spiritual base pill and had not reached perfect quality.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes showed disappointment. He had indeed become thoroughly familiar with the method of using the alchemy furnace to refine pills after refining them three times. He performed , but it was still a little short of the perfect quality of the Spiritual Base Pill.
He could already clearly feel that this was no longer a problem with his refining, but that the power of the alchemy furnace was not enough. He needed to use a superior alchemy furnace for refining.
