Chapter 145: Power Overwhelm!
Yi Qianmo, however, showed no interest at all, which made Huang Hu look defeated. He then continued to add more materials, and this time, he added more than five types!
"Seven kinds… He actually added seven kinds of medicinal ingredients all at once! This guy’s control over psychic power and his mastery of timing have reached such a level!"
Soon, the seven materials were refined, and seven drops of liquid medicine appeared. Huang Hu glanced at Yi Qianmo again, only to find that Yi Qianmo still had a blank expression.
This made him a little annoyed, so he immediately added eight kinds of medicinal ingredients, but he was already sweating lightly, showing that refining eight kinds at once was a huge strain on his psychic power.
Before long, the eight kinds of medicinal ingredients were refined, and eight drops of liquid medicine appeared. The disciples of Pill Pavilion were left in shock; when they refined medicine, they always added one kind at a time, afraid of ruining it.
"No wonder he became a first-grade Pill Master at ten and didn’t advance by twenty; it turns out he has been practicing his control over timing all along!"
The steward of Pill Pavilion looked very unhappy.
Refining medicine, like practicing, pays great attention to the basics. In Pill Pavilion, there is also basic training; new disciples are not allowed to refine medicine independently.
Most begin by mastering timing, but there is no one among the disciples of Pill Pavilion who can control eight kinds of medicinal ingredients to refine them all at once like Huang Hu.
At most, refining three kinds of medicinal ingredients would already be impressive!
Being able to refine eight types of medicine together and succeed proves that Huang Hu has a solid foundation. It is almost certain that he will advance to a second-grade Pill Master in the future.
However, Huang Hu did not choose to refine all eight types together next; instead, he decided to work with five types. Clearly, eight was already his limit, and five was his most skilled method.
As the number decreased, his refining speed became faster and faster. Even though there were occasional failures, it did not affect his speed.
Yi Qianmo watched Huang Hu’s refining and was indeed surprised. If it weren’t for the memories of his ancestors, he definitely couldn’t keep up with Huang Hu.
In some ways, Huang Hu was indeed stronger than him!
But Yi Qianmo did not lose confidence; after all, Huang Hu had a famous teacher guiding him and spent ten years in the best Pill Pavilion in the Yan Kingdom to reach such a level.
Although he had the memories of his ancestors, he didn’t need such a long time.
Half an hour quickly passed, and Huang Hu indeed refined all the materials he had taken out. In total, there were one hundred and eight types, and he produced one hundred drops of medicine.
He only wasted eight types of materials!
Huang Hu slowly stood up, his body covered in sweat, but a proud smile appeared on his face as he said, "It’s your turn, Deputy Pavilion Lord Yi!"
The disciples of the Pill Pavilion felt a cold sweat for Yi Qianmo. His opponent was so strong that if it were them, they might not even have the courage to bring out their Pill Furnace.
Even Zhou Yueyue had a serious expression. Yi Qianmo might be strong in overall alchemy, but when it came to this specific challenge, he might not win.
Just then, Yi Qianmo took out his Clear Source Furnace.
Seeing that it was just a lower-grade spirit tool, the people present felt a bit disappointed. Many Pill Pavilion disciples recognized that it was the Pill Furnace from the Treasure Pavilion.
Those who had hoped for a good outcome felt a sense of despair now!
The people from Xuanyuan Sect openly showed mocking smiles, especially Huang Hu. If he weren’t afraid of the slap Yi Qianmo gave earlier, he would have likely burst out laughing.
After Yi Qianmo took out the Pill Furnace, he looked at Zhou Yueyue. Zhou Yueyue had a speechless expression, as if to say, "Brother, I can’t help you; you’re on your own."
Yi Qianmo was very angry and said, "Bring me some spirit herbs!"
The people present were speechless.
Zhou Yueyue then realized and asked, "How many should I take?"
"Two hundred, I guess."
Yi Qianmo said.
"Two hundred!!!"
Zhou Yueyue was speechless, looking like "Are you sure?"
Until Yi Qianmo glared at him, he then ordered someone to fetch it.
"Refining two hundred types in half an hour? That’s crazy!"
"Brother Huang Hu’s record at my Pill Pavilion of refining a hundred and eight drops in half an hour still stands; no one has broken it yet. He really thinks too highly of himself!"
"Yes, Brother Huang Hu has been training for ten years, always being pushed by the old Pavilion Lord to master the fire control, but Yi Qianmo is said to have just become a Pill Master!"
A group of Xuanyuan Sect disciples chatted, while the Pill Pavilion disciples lowered their heads, feeling uncomfortable.
After a while, the spiritual herbs were brought over, a total of two hundred kinds, all ready to use.
Only then did Yi Qianmo open the Pill Furnace and activate the fire formation.
As the flames rose, Yi Qianmo casually took one kind of herb and put it into the furnace to start refining it.
"One kind!!!!"
Not only the Pill Pavilion disciples, but even Zhou Yueyue couldn’t bear to watch; they were not mistaken, Yi Qianmo had only put in one kind of herb.
The Xuanyuan Sect disciples finally couldn’t hold back their laughter, and Huang Hu sneered, "Deputy Pavilion Lord Yi, if you can’t win, just don’t force it and admit defeat!"
"Oh."
Yi Qianmo replied casually.
"You are competing, not making potions!"
Zhou Yueyue reminded him, "At least you should refine a few more kinds, don’t lose too badly!"
"Got it!"
Yi Qianmo said impatiently, "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is."
Zhou Yueyue was speechless, watching as Yi Qianmo picked up the materials and stared in shock as he added another one.
The disciples of Xuanyuan Sect laughed even louder.
However, just as Yi Qianmo added the second kind, he quickly added the third, and his speed kept increasing…
Fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh…
Almost without stopping, Yi Qianmo added a total of twenty kinds of medicine into the Pill Furnace. Even though they were added at different times, it was indeed twenty kinds!
But is this the end?
No, Yi Qianmo did not stop. After twenty kinds, he continued to add more, reaching a total of thirty kinds, before he paused slightly. The people present couldn’t bear to watch, because they all knew that with so many types of medicine added, even if added one by one, it would be very hard to control.
Just when Yi Qianmo paused, a drop of medicine flew out from the Pill Furnace, hovering above it.
"Hahaha, thirty kinds of medicine, and only one drop? Amazing, Deputy Pavilion Lord Yi, truly amazing!"
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then they heard Huang Hu’s sneer.
All the disciples of the Pill Pavilion lowered their heads.
"No! Another one has appeared!"
Suddenly someone noticed that another drop of medicine flew out from the Pill Furnace, crystal clear.
"There are still…"
As the second drop appeared, the third, fourth, and fifth drops quickly followed.
Huang Hu was stunned, and the smiles on the faces of the Xuanyuan Sect disciples suddenly disappeared.
But at that moment, something even more surprising happened. Yi Qianmo did not let the liquid evaporate; instead, he let it float in the air while picking up herbs and throwing them into the Pill Furnace.
Each time he added an herb, a drop of liquid would fly out of the Pill Furnace, forming a complete cycle.
In half an hour, not even half the time had passed, and two hundred kinds of herbs were all added to the Pill Furnace. Above the Pill Furnace, one hundred seventy drops of various colored liquids were already floating.
Like shining stars, incredibly bright!
