Chapter 283: Returning to Basics

Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng, in this final round of alchemy, both decided to switch their cauldrons.

They both glanced at Jiang Yun and the stone pot in front of Jiang Yun at the same time.

Xiao Zheng looked concerned, even though Jiang Yun had successfully made the Heaven Level Fasting Pill using the stone pot before, the Fasting Pill was not considered high-quality.

The TianJing Pill was at least of medium quality, making a big difference in difficulty level.

As for Guan Yiming, although he didn’t show any expression on his face, his eyes clearly showed disdain towards Jiang Yun, not even considering him a competitor.

After the results of the first round of competition, it was proven that his skills in alchemy surpassed both of them.

Moreover, he had successfully made the Demon Breaking Pill hundreds of times during his closed-door cultivation, making his success rate quite remarkable, giving him a sure advantage.

Jiang Yun paid no attention to the two of them, but carefully examined the medicinal ingredients brought to him by the Grand Medicine Sect.

After all, the quality and age of the medicinal ingredients varied greatly, leading to some differences in the alchemy process.

Therefore, even though he can make the TianJing Pill with his eyes closed, he still takes it seriously and doesn’t skip any necessary preparations.

Guan Yiming was the first to start making it, followed closely by Xiao Zheng, with Jiang Yun in third place.

However, when flames appeared in Jiang Yun’s hands, Elder Han’s gaze immediately focused.

Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng were also shocked and couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Yun again.

Since Jiang Yun was in the Land of Inheritance, others naturally couldn’t sense the temperature, but the three of them could feel it clearly.

The flames Jiang Yun unleashed at this moment were much hotter compared to the previous spiritual fire.

Especially Elder Han, thought to himself, "This kid’s flames, why do they resemble the Li Fire of the Snow clan? But the Snow clan, as a demon race, cannot possibly give Li Fire to a human!"

"I really didn’t expect this kid to still have a trick up his sleeve!"

"I just wonder, how will the final effect of the pill you make be!"

Although Jiang Yun held Li Fire in his hand, he didn’t use it to burn the herbs. Instead, he threw Li Fire under the stone pot, burning the pot directly.

This is actually a step that pharmacists often use in their practice, heating the pot!

However, the way Jiang Yun did it felt strange, like he turned into a hot pot, making others feel uneasy.

There was even a faint feeling that at any moment, Jiang Yun would dump all the herbs in front of him into the pot, and then take out a spatula…

While controlling Li Fire to burn the stone pot, Jiang Yun also picked up some herbs, holding them in his hands, motionless like a statue.

Seeing this scene, Elder Han, the Grand Medicine Sect sect master, and five heavenly pharmacists all suddenly lit up with a bright light in their eyes!

The other disciples, not knowing what Jiang Yun was doing, couldn’t help but speak, "What is this taoist friend Jiang Yun doing again?"

"Why does he look like he’s daydreaming again, just like during the first round of the competition?"

Little did they know, Jiang Yun wasn’t daydreaming. He was trying to use spiritual energy to bring out the medicinal properties of these herbs as much as possible!

This is what Jiang Yun secretly learned from the Grand Medicine Sect during the first round of competition.

Frankly speaking, not only did the disciples not expect it, but even Elder Han and others did not expect that Jiang Yun not only mastered this technique, but also used it now.

Activating the medicinal properties will help the herbs release their properties faster and better during the burning and fusion process, saving time and reducing waste as much as possible, thus improving the final efficacy of the pill.

In the previous round of competition where Jiang Yun participated, because he was refining a brand-new pill, he didn’t dare to try activating the medicinal properties in advance.

However, now, when it comes to refining the TianJing Pill, he is absolutely confident, which is why he started trying to activate the medicinal properties of the herbs to enhance the final efficacy of the pill.

Moreover, while he previously only mastered this technique, now when he truly displays it, combined with his divine sense, he made a surprising discovery.

Wherever his spirit qi reached, his divine sense could clearly see every part inside the herbs magnified infinitely!

It reached a level of observing intricately, to the extent that he discovered many problems that he couldn’t normally see.

If there was more time now, he really wanted to experience this special intricate state.

Meanwhile, in Guan Yiming and Xiao Zheng’s magical furnace, a sweet scent of medicine wafted out. From this, it was clear that Jiang Yun’s progress was slower.

However, Jiang Yun was confident about controlling time in his heart.

"When refining the TianJing Pill in the Snow clan before, I had to rely on the high temperature of the ground Li Fire because I hadn’t mastered it. This prolonged my alchemy process."

"But now that I have mastered the Li Fire, as long as I handle it properly, I can complete the final refinement in just an hour."

When Jiang Yun had activated the properties of all the herbs, he finally began the official alchemy process.

At this point, many Grand Medicine Sect disciples who had previously paid little attention to him couldn’t help but focus on him.

The reason being, Jiang Yun was no longer using spirit qi but instead was using his hands to carefully select and place the required herbs into the stone pot one by one.

This method was time-consuming, but Jiang Yun’s movements were smooth like flowing water, giving a pleasing sight to onlookers.

Moreover, watching the never-stopping stone pot and Jiang Yun’s busy figure, some people’s minds were stirred, vaguely sensing something.

"Going back to the beginning!"

Elder Han softly spoke of the reasons that touched the hearts of these disciples!

Going back to the basics is not a skill or a feeling, but a state of being!

This state is beyond the imagination of most pharmacists, let alone achievable.

Therefore, even though Elder Han mentioned these four aspects, he himself found it hard to believe.

A young man in his twenties had already reached a state close to going back to the basics in alchemy, which was truly unbelievable.

However, he understood why Jiang Yun chose to use a stone pot to make pills, as it not only reflected the essence of going back to the basics but was also Jiang Yun’s familiar alchemy method.

Indeed it was!

Jiang Yun’s current way of making medicine was the same as his way of making medicine in Mang Mountains for sixteen years, making him feel as if he had returned to Mang Mountains.

He could even feel his grandfather’s caring and watchful eyes by his side.

The high temperature of Li Fire quickly burned all the medicinal herbs into liquid, and because Jiang Yun had fully stimulated the medicinal properties in advance, even the impurities were very rare.

The next step is to merge!

But just then, a bold idea suddenly popped into Jiang Yun’s mind.
