Luo Xuan took out the Alchemy Furnace he had found outside.
It was not that he did not want to use the Five Directions Cauldron; it was simply too large and conspicuous. Once he took it out, it would be difficult to explain.
That Alchemy Furnace had also become a merit treasure because of the merit it contained, and Luo Xuan found it fairly easy to use.
When the Alchemy Furnace had been heated until it glowed red, Luo Xuan raised his hand and beckoned.
Some spiritual roots immediately flew out from the pile of spiritual roots as large as a small mountain.
"Jade Luo Root, Floating Blood Vine, Grass Wither Insect..."
As the spiritual roots flew around Luo Xuan and the Alchemy Furnace, the dazzling motion made it possible for everyone to distinguish only a few of them.
"I know these. They can all rapidly heal injuries and restore qi and blood."
Some members of the human race who had hunted outside for many years looked rather smug.
However, he did not get to feel smug for long, because everyone's attention was focused on Luo Xuan.
The surrounding spiritual roots charged into the Alchemy Furnace without the slightest hesitation.
From what everyone sensed, the moment the spiritual roots entered the Alchemy Furnace, they instantly turned to ash under the intense heat.
The dregs of the spiritual roots were expelled from the mouth of the Alchemy Furnace, leaving only white or green liquids churning inside.
Under Luo Xuan's control, the flames beneath the Alchemy Furnace danced like lively spirits.
Without even raising his head, Luo Xuan casually tossed one or two of the spiritual roots flying through the air into the furnace, with incomparable precision.
When the spiritual roots were used up, Luo Xuan lightly tapped his finger and summoned more.
The surrounding crowd had long since become absorbed in the scene.
Luo Xuan's quietly seated figure and the blazing flames.
They seemed to possess a special kind of magic that firmly drew everyone's gaze.
Especially when they smelled the waves of fragrance drifting from the Alchemy Furnace, everyone felt as though their qi, blood, and meridians had become several times more comfortable.
Suiren Shi and the other Three Ancestors also wore looks of approval.
In their eyes, Luo Xuan's originally ordinary movements were exceptionally natural.
It was as if things were supposed to be this way.
As the saying went, an outsider watched the spectacle, while an expert saw the underlying principles.
The Three Ancestors did not know why, but the Three Pure Ones and the others had seen the crux of it.
Laozi sighed. "Luo Xuan's alchemy method has taken an unconventional path. Every movement contains Dao resonance. He is no simple character."
Yuanshi gave a soft snort. "He is merely average. The Innate Human Race's foundation is still too weak."
"If he entered my sect and cultivated for a time, perhaps he could advance further."
Although Yuanshi's tone still suggested that he looked down somewhat on Luo Xuan,
his words clearly carried the intent to take him as a disciple.
Tongtian instead laughed. "Second Brother, don't you look down on him? You still want to take him as a disciple?"
"If he is willing, I would not mind taking him as my disciple."
An Innate Human Race member could possess such talent in alchemy. Even the Three Pure Ones and the others were somewhat tempted.
"Big Brother, what do you think?"
The two turned their heads and saw Laozi watching Luo Xuan approvingly.
"Luo Xuan's aptitude is passable. He is suited to cultivating my Grand Pure Dao Method."
Laozi was an expert in alchemy. The more he watched Luo Xuan's focused expression, the more he liked him.
He had decided that Luo Xuan would be his.
The other two also understood what Laozi meant and all sighed.
However, the Three Pure Ones were originally one entity, so the two of them said nothing more.
Luo Xuan slowly exhaled, and the flames beneath the Alchemy Furnace gradually subsided.
Everyone froze when they saw this.
When the Alchemy Furnace opened, everyone twitched their noses and sank into the fragrance of the pills.
[The host has been detected refining nine First-turn Vitality Replenishing Pills. Quality: average.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained one piece of Crimson Profound Gold.]
Luo Xuan frowned when he heard this.
The quality was only average, and he was still somewhat dissatisfied.
Suiren Shi, however, stepped forward to examine the pills Luo Xuan had refined, his eyes filled with delight.
The pills Luo Xuan had refined this time were plump and smooth.
The other members of the human race crowded over, even more ecstatic.
This was the first time they had seen the entire process of alchemy.
Just one whiff of these pills made it seem as though even the hidden ailments in their bodies had been healed.
"Luo Xuan, how did you refine these pills? Why do they smell so good?"
"Yeah, there were several parts just now that I didn't understand..."
The crowd immediately began clamoring.
Luo Xuan did not mind continuing to open the furnace and refine pills.
[The host has been detected refining six First-turn Vitality Replenishing Pills. Quality: average.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained one piece of Crimson Profound Gold.] [The host has been detected refining seven First-turn Qi Vitality Pills. Quality: average.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Divine Ability: Earth Evasion Technique.] [The host has been detected refining nine First-turn Qi Vitality Pills. Quality: superior.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained one Low-grade Magic Tool, Stone Axe.]
And so, Luo Xuan refined pills during the day, while he generally spent half the night studying the Primordial Pill Canon.
He spent the other half cultivating the Primordial Pill Body.
After several days, the small mountain of spiritual roots and materials had been completely consumed by Luo Xuan.
In their place was a full pile of pills.
[The host has been detected refining five First-turn Detoxification Pills. Quality: superior.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Divine Ability: Instant Golden Body.]
"Wonderful! Luo Xuan has refined pills again."
Although they had watched it many times over the past few days, the members of the tribe still wore excited expressions.
By now, practically everyone had several pills in hand.
In the past, they had been cautious whenever they went out hunting.
Now, they worried that the other ferocious beasts would run away as soon as they saw them.
However, in their eyes, it was already an utterly ordinary matter for Luo Xuan to refine pills.
The other great experts were dumbfounded.
On Kunlun Mountain,
Tongtian sighed. "What incredible speed. In only a few days, he can already refine Second-turn Pills."
Moreover, his success rate was exceptionally high. What kind of terrifying monster was this?
Even Laozi would not dare claim that he had a hundred percent chance of successfully refining a batch of pills.
Yet Luo Xuan could do it.
Those members of the Innate Human Race still looked so calm. Did they really know how formidable Luo Xuan was?
After Luo Xuan put away the pills, he turned to look at everyone.
"How was it? How much have you learned?"
When they heard Luo Xuan's question, the people around him immediately drooped.
Seeing this, Suiren Shi said, "Luo Xuan, you have refined a great variety of pills over the past few days."
"Moreover, every method is different. Let alone them—even we old ancestors failed to memorize much of it."
"That is true."
Luo Xuan nodded, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
Over the past few days, he had also gained an understanding of what the Primordial World was like from another perspective.
Not only were the spiritual roots and materials found by the people in the tribe powerful, their variety was also beyond anything later generations could compare with.
Luo Xuan became so absorbed in refining pills that, before he knew it, he had refined every pill formula he had mastered.
Unfortunately, Luo Xuan had still been unable to refine any Second-turn Pills over the past few days.
Luo Xuan guessed that perhaps the large number of onlookers nearby had interfered with the refining process, or perhaps he had been unable to keep his mind calm.
"Ancestor, why don't we start finding people with better memories and talent in alchemy to learn from me today?"
"Then they can teach everyone else, and we can replace the group learning from me at regular intervals."
Luo Xuan felt that this would not only improve the human race's efficiency in learning alchemy, but also allow his own alchemy skills to advance further.
