Chapter 835
Hundreds of pill-refining furnaces stood atop the vast plains . Many of the alchemists had already started to refine their pills . Although no one had expected Xu Que to appear suddenly, there were still many alchemists who remained wholly focused on their furnaces the whole time .
In contrast, the three most attention-grabbing alchemists – the famous Yun Yang Zi, Zhuo Feng, and the Demonic Pill Old Man – did not even bother to start their fires . They merely stood where they had arrived and kept their eyes on Xu Que . They knew full well the cause of the little Princess's illness . Her constitution had been changed entirely by all the precious herbs and unusual ingredients that she had consumed since she was a young girl . The only way to cure her illness was to feed her with celestial elixirs of an even higher level .
However, that method was, ultimately, a temporary solution . First of all, finding a divine elixir was no easy feat . Secondly, even if they had managed to find the elixir, the little Princess would adjust to that level of medicine in no time, and the same problem would recur . In light of this situation, they had run out of ways to cure her despite their superb pill-refining skills .
Now that Xu Que had volunteered and confidently claimed that he could solve the problem, the trio took this opportunity to avoid failing in public . Instead, they stood aside to see Xu Que disgraced by his foolery . In their minds, while the candy that Xu Que gave to the little Princess was effective, it was still a useless attempt . After all, the little Princess was mortal and therefore could never live off simply candies . All that was left to do was to wait for Xu Que to make a fool out of himself and to be driven out by Lord Zeng! When that happened, the three of them would have plenty of time to settle their scores with Xu Que .
"Young friend, would you mind enlightening me on the pill that you are making?" Lord Zeng asked curiously, upon seeing Xu Que's confidence in front of the furnace .
Xu Que smiled . "I am refining a secret holy medicine from the Exploding Heavens Faction, specially tailored for anorexic patients!"
After that, he waved his arm widely and pulled out an iron bowl . With a series of crisp sounds, click click click, small yellow round pills began to fill the pot .
"What is that yellow stuff?" The crowd was curious .
"Medicinal item?"
"Damn, is he processing ready-made pills? What kind of alchemy is that?"
Many frowned at his actions, including the many alchemists present who now paid close attention to Xu Que .
Splash!
Xu Que suddenly pulled out a jade bottle . He then poured clear, crystalline water onto the yellow matter .
Upon seeing that, the Demonic Pill Old man sneered and said, "You have mixed so many unidentified pills and added them to the water . One look is enough to conclude that you know nothing about pill-refining . What a waste of precious ingredients!"
Sigh! "He is less than a beginner!" Yun Yang Zi shook his head too .
Lord Zeng was also perplexed and found himself questioning Xu Que's alchemy skills . So far, Xu Que's pill-refining process had made no sense .
"Eh, no, I don't think those are pills!" All of a sudden, the nearest onlooker who was standing behind Xu Que exclaimed .
"They look like soybeans instead of pills!"
"What the heck, they're soybeans! What's that fella trying to pull?"
Many people had noticed that the yellow particles that Xu Que poured into the water were merely soybeans .
The Demonic Pill Old Man and Yun Yang Zi stiffened and swallowed all their words . They were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig a hole and jump into it! They had not expected to be humiliated so quickly after laughing at Xu Que for dissolving the bulk of the pills in water . Who would have thought that they were soybeans and not medicinal items!
"Hmph, you are all wrong! Open your eyes big and wide and take a closer look! These are not ordinary soybeans, but 100% natural soybeans that the Exploding Heavens Faction hand-picked from the highest peak of the Heavenly Mountain . Each of them is full, round, and sparkles like gems . Therefore, they are also known as the 'Exploding Heavens Faction Invincible Heavenly Mountain's Super Citrine Incredible Soybeans'!" Xu Que said proudly .
However, the truth was that those soybeans were precious ingredients that he had redeemed from the System store . Ordinary soybeans could not compare!
"By the way, do you know what this water is? Come on, take a sniff! Oh, I see your eyes have widened, my friend! You must have guessed . Yes, exactly, this is Living Holy Water!" Xu Que picked up the jade bottle and boasted .
A commotion broke out among the people .
"Living Holy Water?"
"What the hell, to have used such precious material to refine his pill, it seems like he's not playing around!"
"Oh my goodness, this medicine would jump at least two or three ranks now that it's infused with the Living Holy Water!"
People were in awe, and even the Demonic Pill Old Man and Yun Yang Zi could not help but stare and gulp .
To an alchemist, the Living Holy Water was a rare item that they had always dreamed of obtaining . With a few drops, it could improve the success rate of pill-refining and improve the grade of every pill . However, right before their eyes, Xu Que had taken out a whole basin of it . How could they not be envious and jealous?
"Well, gentlemen, I'm going to start!" Only then did Xu Que finally look serious as he focused his gaze on the bowl . Then he rolled up his sleeves and shoved his hand directly into the bowl, stirring the soybeans into the Holy Living Water .
The audience was stunned once again .
What kind of procedure was that? Do alchemists even need to mix the ingredients by hand?
