Chapter 1069,: 1069,
Inside the Pill Room, Yang Kai waved his hands constantly, portraying one Spirit Array after another, continuing to destroy and replace the ones already inside the Pill Furnace .
When portraying these Spirit Arrays, his Spiritual Energy fluctuations seemed both strong yet delicate all at once .
The longer Zong Ao looked, the more anxious he became, and it wasn’t long before his indifferent facade collapsed . He even recklessly approached Yang Kai in order to get a better view of the Spirit Arrays he was using .
These Spirit Arrays were all familiar to Zong Ao, some of them even his own original creations . It was abundantly clear that this little brat had stolen these Alchemy skills from him and was now using them for his own purposes .
However, these Spirit Arrays which were so familiar to Zong Ao were actually undergoing some profound and mysterious changes after being inserted by Yang Kai into the pill furnace, allowing the medicinal liquids to churn and condense in subtly different ways . Soon, a rich pill fragrance began to diffuse .
Zong Ao showed a thoughtful expression, faintly feeling like a crack had opened up in the barriers which barred his own advancement; he wanted to peer through this crack more clearly but was unable to immediately force it open, nearly causing him to stamp his foot in annoyance .
He was a true Alchemy Grandmaster, and in terms of true Alchemy skills and techniques, was far beyond Yang Kai .
But now, observing Yang Kai’s completely different methods, Zong Ao’s eyes brightened up . Sometimes, even an inadvertent action by others could bring about unexpected gains to another, allowing them to fall into a state of epiphany .
Therefore, as each new era developed, new Alchemy methods also appeared and developed, and over the countless years, countless Alchemists had created countless branches of Alchemy, each with their own unique Spirit Arrays .
Even someone as knowledgeable as Zong Ao didn’t dare claim to have mastered all Alchemy skills in existence; he still continued to explore his own path in an attempt to pursue his goals .
After a hundred years of near secluded Alchemy, his thinking had become somewhat rigid, so seeing Yang Kai’s actions now had brought him many inspirations related to all aspects of Alchemy, even ones that Yang Kai’s current process had nothing to do with .
“Keep refining, what are you stopping for?” In his agitated state, feeling like he was on the cusp of multiple new discoveries, Zong Ao suddenly found that Yang Kai had actually stopped his movements and couldn’t help speaking up .
“Old Zong, can you be quiet? With you acting like this… I can’t focus on Alchemy,” Yang Kai frowned at him .
Zong Ao’s face blushed bright red, unable and unwilling to say anything .
He then noticed that from inside the pill furnace in front of Yang Kai, a burnt smell was wafting out, and the medicinal liquids which had been tumbling about had all become useless . Apparently, this Alchemy attempt had failed, wasting the batch of herbs .
“Such a result is inevitable for a first attempt,” Trying to cover up his embarrassment for disturbing Yang Kai’s Alchemy, Zong Ao actually took the initiative to speak a few words of comfort before waving his hand, “Good, this old master will sit back down and promises to not disturb you anymore . Go ahead and continue!”
Saying so, he walked back to his chair and sat down, concealing his aura again .
If he didn’t look back now, Yang Kai wouldn’t even be able to notice Zong Ao’s existence, it was clear this old man’s cultivation was far above his own .
Yang Kai shook his head . Through these days of contact, he had discovered that although Zong Ao had a strange temperament, his obsession with the Alchemic Way was incredibly strong . Anything to do with Alchemy could arouse his interest . If this weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have remained in isolation here for a hundred years just to further his pursuit of Alchemy .
As long as he could refine one or two pills that formed Pill Veins, he would be extremely excited .
Such people seem unfriendly and indifferent, but they weren’t difficult to deal with . As long as one could win their favour, they would be easier to get along with than anyone else .
Yang Kai had encountered many such people before so he knew how to cope with them .
Yang Kai wasn’t worried about Zong Ao stealing his Alchemy skills because, in front of Zong Ao, he couldn’t stop him no matter how he tried .
To Yang Kai, he also did not care much about keeping his Alchemy skills secret . However much Zong Ao could learn from observing and emulating was fine with him .
What Yang Kai was concerned about was the Profound Yin Sunflower Water!
After clearing the burnt dregs from the pill furnace, Yang Kai started refining a Burning Flame Pill again .
The first refining failing just now was not because of Zong Ao’s interruption . Even if Zong Ao was shouting loudly, he wouldn’t have been able to break Yang Kai’s concentration . When he was in Nine Heavens Holy Land, every time Yang Kai performed Alchemy, several people would be around him studying his methods and conversing endlessly . Yang Kai would even join these conversations at times and answer questions he was asked . He had long ago gotten used to this .
In truth, Yang Kai failed to refine the Burning Flame Pill just now because it was his first attempt and he had yet to master the necessary control and timing .
During the second refining, Yang Kai had learned a lot, and although it still failed in the end, it did not dampen his enthusiasm .
After the third refining failed at the last moment, Yang Kai’s expression became more confident . He felt that he had understood the full process required to complete the Burning Flame Pill .
Finally, on the fourth attempt, a rich pill scent filled the air and Yang Kai successfully extracted a Burning Flame Pill from the furnace .
