Look, This Is the Power of Authority!
At this moment, everyone in the audience who knew even a little about alchemy was completely dumbfounded by Chu Xinghe's series of moves!
You should know that the pill formula that Mu Xiaoqi came up with actually contains real ingredients!
The various medicinal herbs are like a chain linked together, one link after another. Each herb reacts with other herbs, and then produces a completely new effect, and then reacts with the next herb—all of this is pre-written!
In such a situation, if any link of a sturdy chain is cut, the chain will essentially break on the spot!
Now, Chu Xinghe deleted thirteen of them without a word!
This instantly turned twenty-three materials into thirteen, which is outrageous!
The most outrageous thing is that Chu Xinghe even deleted White Stone?
"Xinghe... This... Without White Stone, the power within my blood cannot be amplified. How can this succeed?"
"Yeah... Xinghe... did you make a mistake?"
"How can one refine Blood Pill without White Stone?"
At this moment, everyone was talking at once. Not to mention the other masters, even the Grand Elder was looking at Chu Xinghe with a face full of question marks!
"A prescription with ten medicinal herbs? Is that even possible? Wouldn't that be considered the prescription with the fewest medicinal herbs in history?"
At this moment, some people started to discuss it, and many alchemy masters nodded in agreement, saying that there was nothing wrong with it!
There are countless pill formulas in the world, but there is generally a rule: the more powerful the pill, the more and more precious the medicinal materials required for its refining!
There's no way around it... powerful pills generally don't have a single medicinal property, so the demand for various medicinal materials naturally increases!
The most medicinal formula in the world is a pill called Nine Revolutions Soul Restoration, which is said to be able to bring the dead back to life. Of course, it doesn't actually bring the dead back to life, but it does have very strong medicinal effects.
And you might not believe it, but this stuff requires a whopping 4,965 different medicinal herbs...
This Nine Revolutions Soul Restoration Pill is even one of the criteria for evaluating alchemy masters from the Subordinate Eighth Rank to the Ninth Rank!
In other words, if you cannot refine the Nine Revolutions Soul Restoration Pill, you are not even qualified to advance to the Ninth Rank alchemy master!
Of course, besides the Nine Revolutions Soul Restoration Pill, other elixirs require a wide variety of medicinal materials!
Look at this! Even the most basic Spirit Gathering Pill requires twenty or thirty different medicinal herbs to refine!
But now, to be honest, twenty-three kinds of materials are really not enough to refine this Blood Pill!
However, Chu Xinghe deleted thirteen of them without saying a word, leaving only ten!
So, does that mean this Blood Pill only requires ten ingredients to refine?
This requires fewer materials than what's needed to refine Spirit Gathering Pill?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
And the most outrageous thing is, Chu Xinghe, are you seeing things?
What do you mean by crossing out even the White Stones?
How can one refine Blood Pill without White Stone?
Is this a joke?
However, although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to question Chu Xinghe!
The reason is simple: in other aspects, these big shots can offer pointers, but in the field of alchemy, Chu Xinghe is truly unique!
Although Chu Xinghe has never publicly admitted that he is the number one alchemist in the world, all alchemists understand that it is because Chu Xinghe respects his teachers and values the way of the world!
Chu Xinghe respected the Grand Elder and always said that the Grand Elder was the best in the world!
But everyone knew in their hearts that Chu Xinghe was absolutely invincible when it came to alchemy!
Witch Curse Evil Lord would have to kneel and speak to Chu Xinghe!
So even though Chu Xinghe's series of actions seemed outrageous to the extreme, no one dared to question them too much!
Seeing everyone at the scene looking puzzled, Chu Xinghe finally managed a slight smile!
You see... this is the power of authority!
Even if I, Chu Xinghe, do all sorts of reckless things, as long as my level surpasses yours, you won't dare to have any doubts!
And now, that's exactly the effect of failure we want!
"Xinghe... Are you sure you want to remove White Stone?" Finally, the Grand Elder spoke up!
The elder didn't understand the purpose of removing the other medicinal herbs, but wasn't removing the White Stone somewhat inappropriate?
"Elder, White Stone is said to be essential for all Blood Pills, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes, in special circumstances, White Stone cannot be used..."
Although the Grand Elder was puzzled by Chu Xinghe's words, he expressed his respect.
After all, Xinghe's alchemy capabilities are undeniable!
"In that case... Mu Bai, arrange for someone to prepare the medicinal herbs..."
"Yes!" Although Mu Bai was also confused at the moment, he immediately arranged for the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom to prepare the other nine medicinal herbs needed!
Soon, all nine other medicinal herbs were prepared.
It's clear that Mu Bai takes this matter very seriously, which is why all the medicinal herbs he prepared are of exceptionally high quality!
Seeing so many high-quality medicinal herbs, Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed his pants!
Who the hell said we needed to use high-quality medicinal herbs?
What if something strange happens when the quality of these medicinal herbs is so high?
Look... If I were to follow my usual approach, Chu Xinghe, I should actually coolly add various precious medicinal herbs to Mu Xiaoqi's original twenty-three ingredients!
After all, wouldn't the losses be enormous if things failed in this situation?
But I, Chu Xinghe, have learned my lesson... If I rashly add all sorts of precious medicinal herbs, and it actually succeeds, producing all sorts of mutated and miraculous pills, tell me, wouldn't that be a huge profit?
It might seem like a valuable elixir has been used up, but what will the result be?
The result was that these elixirs were exchanged for even more potent pills, so it was still a huge profit, right?
Therefore, Chu Xinghe changed his thinking and strategy this time. Instead of adding various precious spiritual herbs in the usual way, he directly used the elimination method!
You all know that you can't make an elixir if you don't have enough medicinal herbs, right? Don't you think I, Chu Xinghe, know that?
I'm not aiming to waste resources and fail during the refining process this time; that would be a huge loss!
If I can just completely block Mu Xiaoqi from succeeding, that will be the biggest progress I can make!
After Mu Xiaoqi failed this time, I gave Mu Xiaoqi a direct order: she had to refine the Mu Xiaoqi according to this formula...
If Mu Xiaoqi fails, then the monsters in the Beast Taming Palace will not have the opportunity to grow rapidly. If the monsters in the Beast Taming Palace cannot grow rapidly, then there will be no way to make a profit!
This should have been profitable, but now it's not. Tell me, isn't that a huge loss?
You, Ma Liang, came up with a new strategy to make the monsters make a killing; I, Chu Xinghe, will give you a new strategy this time, leaving you with absolutely no chance of success!
The same principle applies to medicinal herbs... At this moment, Chu Xinghe seemed to be saying, "Do you think I don't know that using precious medicinal herbs consumes even more resources?"
However, you should know that the more precious the medicinal material, the higher its quality, and the greater the success rate!
So at this moment, Chu Xinghe waved his hand and said, "The quality of the medicinal herbs is problematic. Don't use such high-quality ones; use only the lowest quality ones, preferably the expired ones!"
Mu Bai: "???"
The audience. "???"
The entire audience was completely stunned...
No... shouldn't you use whatever medicinal herbs are good when refining pills?
What does it mean to use expired goods?
Besides, this is our first time refining it, and usually you need to use the best for the first time... Isn't it a bit outrageous to use expired material now just because we disagree?
"Brother Xinghe... Senior Brother Xinghe... Our Vast Heaven Holy Land doesn't have expired items..." Mu Bai said, looking troubled.
"Then use the worst one!" Chu Xinghe glared at Mu Bai, as if to say, "Mu Bai, what kind of mess are you making?!"
Are these the only top-grade medicinal herbs we possess, in our esteemed Vast Heaven Holy Land?
We don't even have a single piece of inferior medicinal material?
We don't even have expired medicinal herbs... Aren't we being a bit unreasonable?
You, Mu Bai, as the manager of medicinal herbs, can't even produce expired herbs, yet you call Mu Xiaoqi useless? What's the difference between you and a useless person?
Mu Bai was so scolded by Senior Brother Xinghe that he couldn't even lift his head!
Meanwhile, the powerful figures from various factions exclaimed, "Is this how everyone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land talks?"
Can't you people from the Vast Heaven Holy Land even speak human language?
The roots of the damn Mu Bai Versailles have finally been found today!
This is all learned from you Chu Xinghe!
Other families are all criticizing the disciples for producing medicinal herbs that aren't of high enough quality!
Who the hell has ever heard of a disciple being scolded for producing medicinal herbs of exceptionally high quality?
Chu Xinghe personally went to the medicinal herb warehouse and spent a long time picking out some herbs of slightly lower quality!
Even these so-called lower-quality medicinal herbs are considered rare treasures by many big shots!
With all the medicinal herbs prepared, Mu Xiaoqi arrived at the Vermilion Bird Furnace!
Although the Vermilion Bird Furnace belongs to Chu Xinghe, it is currently placed in the Vermilion Bird Furnace Medicine King Palace. Chu Xinghe has authorized the disciples of the Medicine King Palace to use the Vermilion Bird Furnace!
Therefore, Mu Xiaoqi was also preparing to use the Vermilion Bird Furnace at this moment!
"Senior Brother Xinghe... what... what should we put in the first ingredient?" Mu Xiaoqi was completely bewildered looking at the ten ingredients in front of her, including the blood of Man Sheng!
It's important to understand that his twenty-three alchemy methods are interconnected, with each step carefully considered in its order and sequence!
But now, there are only ten left, and Mu Xiaoqi is really unsure which one to put first!
"Are you stupid! You should definitely draw blood first!"
"Oh right, right..." Mu Xiaoqi said, starting to add Man Sheng's blood, and then lit the Vermilion Bird Furnace. After adding the first type of blood, Mu Xiaoqi began to study what to add for the second type!
Although Mu Xiaoqi really wanted to ask Senior Brother Xinghe, Mu Xiaoqi knew that this was also Senior Brother Xinghe testing her, so Mu Xiaoqi began to think for herself!
Soon, as Mu Xiaoqi looked at the remaining nine materials, something strange seemed to trigger in an instant, and Mu Xiaoqi felt her mind clear up. The next moment, a completely new idea seemed to emerge in her mind!
The remaining nine materials seemed unrelated, but with this new approach, Mu Xiaoqi discovered that if they were placed in this way, it seemed... there was a chance!
Mu Xiaoqi exclaimed, "So that's what Senior Brother Xinghe meant!"
