Jiang Donghua stood in the center of the hall with a calm expression, as if the subsequent refining of Third-grade Pill was just a casual matter for him.

With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of Azure Flame jumped into the cauldron. The tongue of fire licked the inner wall of Earth Spirit Cauldron, and the temperature instantly climbed to a perfect state.

Opening the furnace for the first time.

The medicinal materials are poured into the cauldron like flowing water, and each plant is accurately sent to the most suitable position for refining.

"Tsk--"

The liquid medicine tumbles in the flames, impurities are instantly removed, and the essence is quickly fused.

Cheng Dan!

A jade-like Mystic Spirit Pill flew out of the cauldron, and the fragrance of red elixirs overflowed, attracting everyone's amazement.

Open the furnace for the second time.

This time, Jiang Donghua moved faster, the flames moved like arms in his hands, and the temperature changes were so precise that it was shocking.

"Boom!"

The liquid in the cauldron was boiling, but at the moment when it was about to lose control, he forcibly stabilized it with Soul Force, and finally condensed it into the second elixir.

Open the furnace for the third time.

This time, he even made slight adjustments to the order in which the medicinal ingredients were put in. The temperature of the flame naturally adjusted with the changes in the properties of the medicinal ingredients, as if the flame itself had become spiritual.

"Buzz--"

The tripod trembled lightly, and the third Mystic Spirit Pill came out smoothly, followed by a blurry Pill Pattern, the quality of which was better than the first two!

The fourth time to open the furnace.

Just when everyone thought he would continue to perform perfectly, Jiang Donghua slowed down a bit, wanting to accumulate more elixirs and let the temperature of the flame fluctuate slightly.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound from inside the cauldron, and the liquid instantly burned to black, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.

Failure!

However, Jiang Donghua just smiled faintly and seemed not to care.

Four times to open the furnace, three times successful!

Even Fourth-grade Alchemist may not be able to achieve such a terrifying success rate!

In the hall, many disciples had already watched in ecstasy.

"Senior Brother Jiang's fire control is like flames breathing!"

"Every time he adjusts the temperature, he's just stuck at the critical point of the drug's properties. How terrifying is his soul perception?!"

Many people even sat cross-legged on the spot, closed their eyes and comprehended, as if they had captured a trace of the true meaning of fire control from Jiang Donghua's alchemy process, an epiphany!

"It turns out that flames are not used to 'control', but to 'guide'!"

A junior student murmured to himself, his eyes shining with understanding.

Jiang Donghua clapped his hands gently, and Earth Spirit Cauldron turned into a stream of light to take back Storage Ring.

He casually put three Mystic Spirit Pill into Jade Bottle, turned around and left under the reluctant eyes of everyone.

"Ah! Is this the end?"

A female student with a ponytail murmured sadly.

"It feels like I've just started watching it."

The boy wearing glasses next to him pushed up his glasses frame, his eyes still fixed on the position where Jiang Donghua was standing just now.

Sighs suddenly sounded in the hall.

Many people were still immersed in the smooth alchemy process just now, and only now did they realize that more than an hour had passed!

"It's strange, it seems like I only watched it for less than a quarter of an hour?"

A student wearing a gray alchemy robe scratched his head with a look of disbelief on his face.

"This is the charm of a high-level alchemist."

An older student sighed.

"Watching Senior Brother Jiang alchemy is like enjoying an art performance, and you can't feel the passage of time at all."

In the corner, several students were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, and there were faint Dou Qi fluctuations on their bodies.

There was a look of enlightenment on their faces, obviously they had gained a breakthrough opportunity from the observation just now.

"I seem to understand why refining Explosive Qi Pill always failed last time."

A student with a round face suddenly opened his eyes and danced excitedly.

"It turns out that my method of collecting pills is too hasty!"

"Me too!"

A tall and thin man next to me spoke excitedly.

"Senior Brother Jiang I seem to have learned a little bit about the technique of condensing the flames when condensing the elixir!"

Such voices of enlightenment echoed throughout the hall.

Sometimes, an alchemist just needs a sudden flash of insight to increase the rate of elixir formation by one to two percent.

Today's demonstration by Jiang Donghua gave them just this opportunity.

"Alas..."

A student wearing luxurious medicine refining clothes suddenly let out a long sigh.

"It would be great if I also had Fifth-grade Alchemist as my master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from beside him.

"Just you? You can't even practice Second-grade Pill, and you still want Fifth-grade Alchemist to accept you as a disciple?"

"That's right!"

Another student also joined in the taunting.

"Senior Brother Jiang's achievements today are due to real talent and hard work. Do you think it's enough to just have a good master?"

The student who was scolded suddenly turned red in the face and was speechless.

There was a burst of good-natured laughter all around, but everyone knew it in their hearts.

Why don't they envy Jiang Donghua's talents and opportunities?

At this time, Jiang Donghua, who had already walked out of the Alchemy Department, had no idea what kind of discussion he had caused.

With the Jade Bottle in his hand, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems to be working well."

In my AFK System panel, the proficiency of Mystic Spirit Pill has increased a few points.

Jiang Donghua stepped into the Mission Hall, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

"Senior Brother Jiang is here!"

"Look, it's Senior Brother Jiang!"

Many students who were handing over tasks stepped out of the way, with awe and envy in their eyes.

As Jiang Donghua Third-grade Alchemist, he is no longer someone ordinary students can talk to at will.

When Mission Hall's deacons saw this, they immediately put on smiles and took the initiative to greet him.

"Student Jiang, will you hand in the assignment?"

A deacon asked respectfully, with a bit of flattery in his tone.

Jiang Donghua nodded slightly and placed the Jade Bottle containing Mystic Spirit Pill on the counter.

"Three Mystic Spirit Pill, mission accomplished."

The deacon quickly took it and carefully opened the cork to check. The strong medicinal aroma suddenly filled the air.

"Hiss--"

"All three are top grade?!"

There was a sound of exclamation all around.

You know, even if it is Third-grade Alchemist, the success rate of refining Mystic Spirit Pill is usually only about 50%, but Jiang Donghua not only succeeded three times, but the quality is also so high!

"Student Jiang's alchemy skills are truly well-deserved!"

The deacon had a smile on his face and quickly stamped his seal on the task book to confirm.

"This is your Contribution Points, it has been recorded in your name."

"According to what you said, these are all recent tasks that require refining elixirs. Student Jiang, look at what you want to refine?"

Jiang Donghua raised his eyebrows slightly.

The dignified deacon Peak Great Fighter is actually so polite to a Four-star Dou Master himself?

But after thinking about it, he understood the reason.

The identity of Third-grade Alchemist is much more noble than the simple Da Dou Shi!

In this Battle Qi Continent, strength is important, but the connections and influence of high-level alchemists are often more awe-inspiring than their cultivation.

Jiang Donghua smiled slightly and nodded.

"You're welcome, Deacon Chen. If necessary, students should do their best."

Deacon Chen immediately beamed with joy and said quickly.

"Thank you so much, little friend Jiang!"

When everyone around them saw this, they were even more shocked.

Even the deacon has to be so polite to Senior Brother Jiang. Is this the status of an alchemist?

For a moment, many students' eyes ignited with blazing light, and they secretly vowed to practice harder and strive to one day be as respected as Jiang Donghua!

Unfortunately, the path of alchemist is useless for most people, and they can only strive for their own Dou Qi cultivation.

Jiang Donghua, on the other hand, looked calm but was thinking secretly in his heart.

There is no need to hang up these elixirs, and refining them is quite labor-intensive.

He immediately shook his head and said to Deacon Chen.

"Sorry, I don't have much time recently. I'll take on some tasks when I have time. Thank you for your trouble, deacon."

Deacon Chen also knew the alchemist's quirks, and nodded with an "I understand" expression.

"Okay, as long as I am on duty at the Mission Hall, I will definitely let you do the task of refining the elixir."
