nAfter Zhang Heng convened them, the alchemists in the Alchemy Union came very quickly to the alchemist room.

n

n

nSu Dekang, who was a second-grade alchemist like Old Xie, was somewhat unhappy. “What’s the situation? In terms of alchemy standards, I’m much better than Xie Xing. Why did the President ask me to go and watch him practice alchemy?”

n

n

nHe was the second uncle of Second Master Su, Su Minghao, who had been badly beaten by Lou Qianxue a while ago.

n

n

nAlthough Su Dekang was unhappy in his heart, in the end, he dared not defy Zhang Heng’s order. He reached the alchemy room very fast.

n

n

nJust when he entered the door, he could not help himself from exclaiming. “So fragrant! Such a strong medicinal fragrance!”

n

n

nAt this moment, many alchemists had already surrounded Old Xie and Lou Qianxue.

n

n

nEveryone was very quiet. The only sound that came was of Lou Qianxue pointing out the changes to Old Xie’s technique.

n

n

nSu Dekang curiously heard a few lines. His eyes gradually shone, and thereafter, he immediately pulled the crowd apart and headed inside. His eyes only watched Old Xie’s hands. The more he watched, the more imposing his face became. He also started looking more serious…

n

n

nIt was the same case with many other alchemists.

n

n

nBut it was a pity!

n

n

nAfter a short while!

n

n

nLou Qianxue breathed in a mouthful of air. “Alright, this is the last step. Follow the usual and do the core formation!”

n

n

nWhen the alchemists in the entire place realized that they could not listen further, their faces could not help but reveal disappointment.

n

n

n“Miss Lou, excuse me for asking, but what is the skill that you have just mentioned?” Zhang Heng could not help himself from asking.

n

n

n“The skill of normalization. When this kind of skill is practiced to an extreme extent, it can merge thousands of medicinal herbs at the same time—”

n

n

nLou Qianxue had not finished talking when the alchemists at the side could not control themselves from refuting.

n

n

n“How is it possible? A person only has two hands. One hand is required to control danhuo. How can it be possible to merge thousands of medicinal herbs at the same time?”

n

n

n“Of course, it is possible!” Not waiting for Lou Qianxue to explain, Zhang Heng smiled and said, “When we alchemists practice alchemy, using our hands is secondary. The most important thing is using our mental strength.”

n

n

nMany of the alchemists at the side suddenly came to a realization. One after another, they nodded in shame.

n

n

nAt this moment,

n

n

nBuzz!

n

n

nA dull sound came from the medicinal tripod.

n

n

nOld Xie’s face revealed a tinge of happiness. “It is successful!”

n

n

nAfter he finished talking, he impatiently opened the medicinal tripod. Once he opened it, the original medicinal fragrance that was floating inside the room became even stronger. It made everyone revel. They deeply breathed a mouthful of the medicinal fragrance.

n

n

n“The medicinal fragrance is so strong. The medicinal effect will definitely be very good.”

n

n

nZhang Heng looked at the medicinal tripod with expectation. “We’ll have to see the pill before we know it.”

n

n

nWhile they were talking, they saw Old Xie exclaiming.

n

n

nEveryone had a fright. “What happened?”

n

n

n“T-thr… I used one portion of herbs for the compound pill. B-but I managed to refine three compound pills!!!”

n

n

n“What?” Even Zhang Heng, who always had a gentle and faint smile on his face, revealed shock. He hurriedly rushed up and probed to see. After he saw it, he was even more shocked. “How is it possible… This compound pill actually has more than 90 percent purity… This!… ”

n

n

nA superior grade pill was one that had more than 70 percent purity. It was extremely rare. He did not expect that… a pill with more than 90 percent purity had actually appeared now!

n

n

nZhang Heng was clearer than anyone else.

n

n

nOld Xie’s original compound pill only had 10 percent purity!

n

n

nUsing the same kind of herbs, but changing the skill of refinement made the purity rise up to above 90 percent in a short while!

n

n

nThis hearsay was really too appalling!

n

n

nIt was simply a dream!

n

n

nHowever, Lou Qianxue was not shocked at all. Instead, her exquisite and beautiful little face revealed some unhappiness. She somewhat despised it. “This kind of refinery method should’ve resulted in 100 percent purity. It is a pity that Old Xie is not familiar with the skill. The herbs that had been previously purified were also not perfect… hence the purity is only 90 percent.”

n

n

nOnly 90 percent?

n

n

nThat despising tone from Lou Qianxue made all the alchemists who were present look at her speechlessly…
