Disturbance (Part 2)
The scorching heat of the Mysterious Yellow Flame caused the medicinal liquid extracted from the Wuluo Flower Root to boil and churn continuously, while the impurities within it gradually turned into wisps of ash and were burned away during the heat.
However, as a medicinal material for refining the Imperial Pill, the impurities in the Wuluo Flower Root are quite difficult to extract. Even with the scorching of the Mysterious Yellow Flame Heavenly Flames, it can only barely expel the impurities. In fact, it takes about the time it takes to brew a cup of Mysterious Yellow Flame before a wisp of gray smoke is finally released.
Such stubborn impurities caused even Elder Huo's face to twitch involuntarily. The extraction of these impurities was simply too time-consuming, and this was only at the speed Lin Ming used to refine them with his Heavenly Flames. If Elder Huo were to do it himself, he would probably spend almost a whole day just refining the medicinal herbs. Therefore, it was indeed reasonable that this Tier 6 Medicinal Pill was difficult to refine.
The waiting time was extremely tedious, but neither Lin Ming, who was refining the medicinal herbs, nor Elder Huo, who was watching, were distracted during the refining process. In fact, during the nearly two hours of refining, neither of them ever took their eyes off the Medicinal Cauldron.
After nearly two hours of refining, the impurities in the liquid were finally completely removed. The liquid, now free of impurities, not only became more rounded but also more transparent. Upon closer inspection, one could even see the bubbles churning within it.
After the refining was complete, Lin Ming's face relaxed slightly. Then, Lin Ming flicked his finger, and the refined liquid inside the cauldron immediately floated out, enveloped by a cluster of flames, and finally poured into a Jade Bottle along with the flames.
Looking at Lin Ming's storage method, Elder Huo showed no surprise. After all, he was the one who taught Lin Ming this flame-sealing storage method; it's just that Lin Ming is now using it even better than he is.
After sealing the medicinal liquid extracted from the Wuluo Flower Root, Lin Ming turned his attention to the remaining medicinal herbs. Then, with another wave of Lin Ming hand, another herb floated up and finally entered the Medicinal Cauldron, where it was enveloped by the Mysterious Yellow Flame and began to be refined.
The extraction of medicinal herbs continued until the early morning of the third day before it was finally completed.
After all the medicinal herbs were refined, a Tier 5 Magic Core was added to the Medicinal Cauldron.
After another six hours of refining, Lin Ming finally completed the refining of the Fifth-Tier Magic Core.
However difficult the process was, the refining was finally completed. On the fourth day, after being roasted by the Mysterious Yellow Flame for a whole day and night, the extracted medicinal herbs and Magic Core powder gradually weakened their repulsion and finally began to fuse.
Of course, although it was called a fusion, the fusion speed was as slow as a tortoise crawling, unbearably slow.
Fusion is the most crucial step in alchemy. If even the slightest mistake is made, the painstakingly extracted medicinal herbs will be instantly destroyed. Therefore, Lin Ming dared not be distracted in the slightest during this step. Fortunately, both Lin Ming and Elder Huo had extensive experience in alchemy, allowing them to concentrate fully on the process.
Although this step was extremely dangerous, the worst-case scenario was averted thanks to Lin Ming's powerful Soul Power. After two full days of fusion, the Imperial Pill Prototype finally slowly took shape in the Medicinal Cauldron!
The moment the Pill Prototype shape, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy) suddenly fluctuated. The scene was like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves to surge.
The surging Energy Ripple instantly echoed back towards the Alchemy Room, then spread outwards through it.
Within the Alchemy Department, the energy surge instantly enveloped everything. Under its impact, all those Pill Refining had their Medicinal Cauldron shattered into powder with a loud "bang!"
"Grass"
"TNND"
Alchemist, being Fire Attribute, are naturally quite hot-tempered. Now, with their Pill Refining interrupted by a sudden energy fluctuation, they became even more irritable. They immediately started cursing and heading out of the hall, wanting to see who dared to come to the Alchemy Department and cause such an energy fluctuation.
"Steward Yang, there is..." Upon stepping out of the room and seeing Steward Yang in the main hall, someone immediately began to complain.
"Shut up, or get out!" Steward Yang said with a dark expression the moment these people opened their mouths.
Faced with Steward Yang's roar, these people had no choice but to shut their mouths obediently. At the same time, they became curious about the source of the energy fluctuations.
Their curiosity led them to sense that the energy fluctuation seemed to be emanating from Elder Huo's Alchemy Room.
After sensing that the energy was coming from Elder Huo's Alchemy Room, all their dissatisfaction vanished instantly. At the same time, they were also filled with a mix of lingering fear and joy.
Of course, the lingering fear comes from the fact that many people were cursing and swearing just now. Although this was a reaction in the heat of the moment, it seems that the person being cursed was Elder Huo. No wonder it's frightening!
The joy stemmed from the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from Elder Huo Alchemy Room, indicating that the pills Elder Huo refined this time surpassed those of his previous ones.
Elder Huo had practiced alchemy before, but the energy fluctuations were minimal back then due to the barrier within the Alchemy Room. But now? The sheer amount of energy transmitted caused several Alchemist simultaneously to have their Pill Refining explode, demonstrating just how immense this energy fluctuation was.
The pills that Elder Huo usually refines are mostly Tier 5 Medicinal Pill, and Tier 5 Medicinal Pill only have a slight fluctuation. But now there is such a violent fluctuation, so it is conceivable what grade of pill he is refining now. It is definitely Sixth Order pill.
As the actual controller of the Alchemy Department, Elder Huo's breakthrough in alchemy, allowing him to enter the ranks of 6th Grade Alchemist, was naturally a joyous occasion for the entire Alchemy Department.
After all, Elder Huo would occasionally take time to teach and answer questions for the Alchemist in the Alchemy Department, and the more superb Elder Huo's alchemy skills were, the more benefits they could reap from alchemy. So of course they were delighted.
The energy fluctuations were emanating from Elder Huo's Alchemy Room, which is why they believed the object being used to Pill Refining belonged to Elder Huo.
