Reforging Waste Pills, Shocking the Entire Audience!

Fire seeds were the foundation of alchemists.

Those born awakened with Exotic Fire were all unparalleled prodigies of the alchemical path!

Not to mention that Ye Xuan had awakened a second-grade Exotic Fire!

Such talent was even rarer and more precious than awakening a spirit body!

At this moment, Lin Churan could not help but rise to her feet, her entire body trembling.

She knew full well what a prodigy like this meant to her pill house!

Xiao Tao was equally stunned.

At last, she understood why Ye Xuan had been so confident before.

Even Senior Sister Wan'er, whom she admired so greatly, had awakened only a first-grade Exotic Fire three years ago!

Yet even that had shaken the entire Tianyun City!

But now, Ye Xuan casually withdrew his flame.

His Nine Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Body was supremely hard and supremely yang by nature, capable of naturally evolving Emperor Fire. Even though it had only begun to recover, evolving a second-grade Exotic Fire was nothing worth mentioning.

"Now then, Manager Lin, do you believe me?" Ye Xuan asked with a faint smile.

"Of course. I do!"

Lin Churan drew a deep breath.

Although possessing Exotic Fire did not necessarily mean one possessed extraordinary alchemy skills, Hundred Herbs Pill House had no other choice now.

Besides, all Ye Xuan wanted were waste pills!

There would be no loss whatsoever for Hundred Herbs Pill House.

Lin Churan immediately had someone bring over every waste pill and hand them to Ye Xuan.

"These are all the waste pills in the pill house that have not yet been dealt with. Most are Profound Tier Qi Gathering Pills needed by Qi Control Realm cultivators, around five thousand in total."

"There are also fewer than a thousand Earth Tier Spirit Nurturing Pills, essential cultivation pills for those in the Spirit Sea Realm."

Lin Churan fixed her beautiful eyes on Ye Xuan and pressed her lips together before asking, "May I ask how many months Holy Son Ye will need to finish reforging them?"

With all the veteran alchemists having been poached away, Hundred Herbs Pill House had wasted a great deal of materials. If these could truly be turned from waste into treasure, the pill house could rise from the dead!

"Several months?"

Ye Xuan put away the Storage Ring, then raised a brow and smiled. "Why would it take so long? This time tomorrow, I'll deliver the pills to you!"

"T-Tomorrow?"

Lin Churan thought she had misheard him.

Ye Xuan needed only one day to reforge several thousand waste pills!?

Could it be that the Violet Firmament Sect had more than one alchemical prodigy?

But even if Chu Wan'er joined in, it would not be enough, would it?

"That's right. Tomorrow, no matter what!"

Ye Xuan offered no further explanation. He called to the dazed Xiao Tao and left the pill house directly.

As she watched the two depart, Lin Churan would have thought everything just now had been a dream if not for the scorching aura of Exotic Fire still lingering in the room.

Not long after, Ye Xuan and Xiao Tao returned to the Violet Firmament Sect.

"Senior Brother Ye Xuan, can you really turn waste into treasure?"

Xiao Tao had held it in for a long time along the way, but she finally could not help asking.

"Of course!"

Ye Xuan smiled. This Xiao Tao was adorably silly and rather amusing.

However, when they arrived before Saintess Peak, both of them froze.

Quite a few young disciples, along with several Spirit Sea Realm elders, were kneeling in neat rows before Saintess Peak.

"Sect Master, for the survival and dignity of the sect, we implore you to strip Ye Xuan of his position as Holy Son and drive him from the Violet Firmament Sect!"

A young disciple at the very front knelt on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Senior Brother Ye, that is Second Senior Brother Zhao Gan. Aside from Senior Sister Wan'er, he is the strongest among the sect's younger generation..." Xiao Tao whispered behind him.

Ye Xuan merely nodded faintly.

"Heh. Elder Qi, are you trying to force my hand?"

Su Ziyun stood before the crowd, her expression icy.

"Sect Master, we have no choice! If we continue wasting resources on Ye Xuan, the Violet Firmament Sect will truly be finished!"

An elder raised his head and said excitedly, "Even if Ye Xuan's cultivation has suddenly soared, perhaps he was merely concealing it with a secret art before. You must not let him deceive you!"

"Sect Master, we have no cultivation resources left. If he does not leave, are you forcing us to leave instead?"

Su Ziyun narrowed her eyes slightly. These were the few remaining elders of the Violet Firmament Sect. Though their vision was somewhat shortsighted, they had stayed until now after all.

It was a fact that the sect's resources had been exhausted. She truly could not bring herself to say anything too harsh.

Perhaps letting them leave would count as a release for them as well.

Su Ziyun shook her head with a bitter smile.

"I'll solve the matter of cultivation resources for you!"

Before Su Ziyun could speak, a voice suddenly rang out from behind the elders.

The elders froze, then turned around. Only then did they see Ye Xuan and Xiao Tao walking over.

But the next moment, Elder Qi rose to his feet and glared angrily at Ye Xuan. "And you still dare boast so shamelessly!?"

"You are merely in the Qi Control Realm. What method could you possibly have to solve the problem of cultivation resources!?"

At this moment, the other elders and Su Ziyun all turned to look at Ye Xuan.

Even Su Ziyun herself did not believe him deep down.

Ye Xuan had returned far too quickly!

"Heh. The resources are right here!"

Ye Xuan merely smiled faintly, then raised a hand and poured several thousand waste pills out of his Storage Ring.

For a moment, the foul stench of waste pills swept through the air like a rolling tide.

Everyone was stunned at first, then hurriedly moved away from the smell.

"Ye Xuan, are you an idiot?"

"You brought out such a heap of waste pills because you want to disgust us?"

Zhao Gan immediately cursed in fury.

Although Su Ziyun did not move away, her delicate brows could not help furrowing.

Ye Xuan had gone down the mountain only to bring back this many waste pills!?

"Heh. They are indeed waste pills, but what if I can turn waste into treasure?" Ye Xuan looked utterly confident.

"Turn waste into treasure!?"

The elders exchanged glances, then could not help throwing back their heads in wild laughter.

"This old man may not be an alchemist, but I have eaten more pills than you have seen grains of rice!"

"Who in the Northern Region can turn waste pills back into pills?"

"Xiao Tao, bring every pill furnace from the Pill Hall over here!" Ye Xuan simply smiled and instructed Xiao Tao.

"Ah? Oh, alright!"

Xiao Tao froze for a moment, then hurried off.

Zhao Gan curled his lips, looking as though he were waiting to see Ye Xuan make a fool of himself.

Su Ziyun looked at Ye Xuan with a questioning gaze, but he did not explain. He merely gave her a reassuring look.

Soon, Xiao Tao returned, panting heavily. She took all the pill furnaces from her Storage Ring and set them out.

There were nearly a hundred of them, large and small!

"What a grandstanding farce. Utterly ridiculous!" Zhao Gan continued sneering and shaking his head.

What use were so many pill furnaces!?

Su Ziyun secretly drew a breath as well. She hoped Ye Xuan truly had a method, or there would really be no way to wrap things up today.

At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly raised his hand and divided the several thousand waste Qi Gathering Pills into a hundred portions, tossing them into the pill furnaces.

Boom!

As everyone looked on in confusion, lightning flame burst directly from Ye Xuan's hand, its scorching aura instantly sweeping in all directions!

"E-Exotic Fire!"

Only after standing frozen for quite some time did everyone recover their senses.

Yet their eyes remained filled with shock!

Ye Xuan actually possessed a top-tier talent like Exotic Fire!?

"N-No, that's second-grade Exotic Fire!" The astonishment in Su Ziyun's eyes grew even stronger!

Because Ye Xuan's Exotic Fire had two layers!

This was a second-grade Exotic Fire unseen anywhere in the entire Northern Region!

But Ye Xuan had already raised his hand, splitting the Exotic Fire into a hundred streams that fell into every pill furnace!

"Sect Master, may I borrow your Purple Heaven Cauldron?" Ye Xuan suddenly asked.

"Of course!"

Su Ziyun nodded, then directly summoned her Purple Heaven Cauldron.

Buzz!

In an instant, this Natal Treasure swelled in the wind, transforming into a gigantic hundred-zhang cauldron!

Ye Xuan tossed the remaining nearly thousand waste Spirit Nurturing Pills into the Purple Heaven Cauldron, pouring all the wildly burning Exotic Fire into it.

In an instant, lightning flames surged from a hundred furnaces!

This was... alchemy with a hundred furnaces at once!?

Only now did everyone understand.

But the shock in their hearts surged ever more violently like raging billows.

Putting aside whether Ye Xuan could truly turn waste into treasure, merely controlling a hundred flames alone was already terrifying enough!

What kind of monstrous fire-control ability was this!?

Zhao Gan was completely dumbfounded by now.

The Violet Firmament Sect disciples who had come over upon hearing the commotion were also left staring, tongue-tied.

Yet after only half an hour, the foul stench of the waste pills completely vanished, replaced by a faint medicinal fragrance that gradually spread through the air!

Everyone sniffed, and their expressions changed once more.

This was genuine pill fragrance!

Such fragrance meant that the impurities within the waste pills had been removed, leaving behind only their essence. They were only one step away from becoming pills!

Sure enough, after less than the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, all hundred furnaces shook and hummed wildly. Their fragrance drifted for ten miles, enveloping all of Saintess Peak!

With a roar, the lightning flames extinguished, while several thousand pills floated up from within the pill furnaces.

Under the night sky, the thousands of pills glittered like stars.

Their light reflected upon the incomparably shocked faces of every cultivator in the Violet Firmament Sect.

Ye Xuan had controlled a hundred furnaces alone—and he had truly succeeded in forming pills!
