Primordial Era: Apprenticeship Under Laozi, I Refine Mythical Golden Pills

Chapter 6: Terrifying Success Rate

Luo Xuan took out the cauldron he had found outside.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use the Five Directions Cauldron, but it was too big and conspicuous, and difficult to explain if he took it out.

That cauldron had also become a treasure of merit due to its karma, and Luo Xuan found it quite handy.

When the cauldron was burning red, Luo Xuan raised his hand and beckoned.

Spiritual roots immediately flew out from the pile of spiritual roots that resembled a small mountain.

"Jade Luo Root, Floating Blood Vine, Grass Wither Insect..."

As the spiritual roots danced around Luo Xuan and the cauldron, in the dazzling display, everyone could only identify a few of them.

"I know these. They're all things that can quickly heal injuries and restore Blood Essence."

Some humans who had been hunting outside for years said proudly.

However, he didn't gloat for long, because everyone's attention was focused on Luo Xuan.

The surrounding spiritual roots plunged into the cauldron without hesitation.

As far as everyone could sense, the moment the spiritual roots entered the cauldron, they instantly turned to ash under the high temperature.

The residue of the spiritual roots was spewed out from the mouth of the cauldron, leaving only white or green liquid churning within.

Under Luo Xuan's control, the flames beneath the cauldron danced like leaping sprites.

Without even looking up, Luo Xuan casually tossed one or two spiritual roots flying in the air into the cauldron, with pinpoint accuracy.

Until the spiritual roots were used up, Luo Xuan tapped his finger and summoned more spiritual roots.

The surrounding crowd was already mesmerized.

Luo Xuan's seated figure, the fiercely burning flames.

Everything seemed to possess a special magic, firmly capturing their gazes.

Especially when they smelled the wafts of fragrance emanating from the cauldron, everyone felt as if their Blood Essence and meridians had become more comfortable.

Suiren Shi and the other Three Ancestors also looked on with admiration.

In their eyes, Luo Xuan's movements, which were originally ordinary, were so natural.

As if it was meant to be this way.

As the saying goes, amateurs watch the excitement, while professionals observe the skill.

The Three Ancestors didn't know why, but the Three Pure Ones and the others saw something unusual.

Laozi sighed, "Luo Xuan's alchemy technique is unconventional. Every move he makes contains Daoist charm; it's not simple."

Yuanshi snorted, "It's just average. His Innate Human race origins are still too low."

"If he were to cultivate under my tutelage, perhaps he could advance further."

Although Yuanshi's tone suggested he still looked down on Luo Xuan.

His words implied he was considering taking him as a disciple.

Tongtian chuckled, "Second Brother, you don't look down on him? Yet you want to take him as a disciple?"

"If he's willing, I wouldn't mind taking him as a disciple."

For an Innate Human race member to possess such alchemy talent, the Three Pure Ones were somewhat tempted.

"Eldest Brother, what do you think?"

The other two turned to look, only to see Laozi looking at Luo Xuan with admiration.

"Luo Xuan's talent is quite good; he is suitable for cultivating my Grand Pure Dao Method."

Laozi, an expert in alchemy, watched Luo Xuan's focused demeanor and liked him more and more.

This Luo Xuan, he, Laozi, was determined to have.

The other two also understood the meaning behind Laozi's words and sighed.

However, the Three Pure Ones were one entity, so they didn't say much.

Luo Xuan exhaled softly, and the flames under the cauldron slowly subsided.

Everyone present was stunned.

The moment the cauldron was opened, everyone twitched their noses, immersed in the medicinal fragrance.

[Detected Host has refined nine First-turn Vitality Replenishing Pills, medium quality.]

[Congratulations to Host for obtaining one piece of Crimson Profound Gold.]

Hearing this, Luo Xuan frowned.

Only medium quality; he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

However, Suiren Shi stepped forward to examine the pills Luo Xuan had refined, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

The pills Luo Xuan had refined this time were full and round.

The other humans gathered around, overjoyed.

This was their first time witnessing the entire alchemy process.

Just smelling the pills this time felt like their hidden ailments were healed.

"Luo Xuan, how did you refine these pills? They smell so good!"

"Yeah, there were a few parts I didn't quite understand earlier..."

The crowd immediately started chattering.

Luo Xuan didn't mind and continued to refine more pills.

[Detected host refining six First-turn Vitality Replenishing Pills, medium quality.]

[Congratulations to host for obtaining one piece of Crimson Profound Gold.]

[Detected host refining seven First-turn Qi Vitality Pills, medium quality.]

[Congratulations to host for obtaining divine ability: Earth Evasion Technique.]

[Detected host refining nine First-turn Qi Vitality Pills, high quality.]

[Congratulations to host for obtaining one Low-grade Magic Tool, Stone Axe.]

And so, Luo Xuan spent his days refining pills and his nights studying the Primordial Pill Canon.

Half his time was spent cultivating the Primordial Pill Body.

After a few days, the mountain-like pile of spiritual roots and medicinal materials was completely consumed by Luo Xuan.

In its place was a pile of pills.

[Detected host refining five First-turn Detoxification Pills, high quality.]

[Congratulations to host for obtaining divine ability: Instant Golden Body.]

"Great, Luo Xuan made more pills."

Even after watching for many days, the humans in the tribe still looked excited.

Now, almost everyone had a few pills on hand.

Before, they were cautious when going out hunting.

Now, they worried the other fierce beasts would run away upon seeing them.

However, in their eyes, Luo Xuan refining pills was a common occurrence.

The other great cultivators were dumbfounded.

On Kunlun Mountain.

Tongtian sighed, "Such speed. In just a few days, he can already refine Second-turn Pills."

And the success rate was incredibly high. What kind of terrifying monster was this?

Even Laozi wouldn't claim to have a one hundred percent chance of successfully refining a batch of pills.

But Luo Xuan could.

The innate humans still looked calm. Did they even know how powerful Luo Xuan was?

After Luo Xuan put away the pills, he turned to look at the crowd.

"How is it? How much have you all learned?"

Hearing Luo Xuan's question, everyone around them drooped their faces.

Suiren Shi said, "Luo Xuan, the pills you've refined these past few days are of many varieties."

"And each technique is different. Forget them, even we old ancestors haven't memorized much."

"That's true."

Luo Xuan nodded, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

These past few days, he had also, in a way, witnessed what the Primordial Era was like.

Not only were the spiritual roots and medicinal materials found by the tribe powerful, but their variety was incomparable to later generations.

Luo Xuan became engrossed in refining, and unconsciously refined all the pill recipes he knew.

Unfortunately, in these past few days, Luo Xuan had not been able to refine any Second-turn Pills.

Luo Xuan guessed it might be because too many people were watching, hindering the pill refinement, or perhaps his own state of mind couldn't remain calm.

"Ancestor, how about we find some people with good memories and a talent for alchemy to learn from me starting today?"

"Then they can teach others, and we'll rotate batches of learners every so often."

Luo Xuan felt this would not only improve the efficiency of the human race learning alchemy but also allow his own alchemy skills to advance further.
