Creating a New Formula, the Alchemist Conference Begins
"Master Fama, I was stingy before. I thought that if I gave away my insights as Seventh-Rank Alchemist in this transaction, I would be at a disadvantage."
"I didn't expect this... so please don't take offense." Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting, not ashamed to reveal his inner thoughts.
Fama his hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, Master Yan Xiao, your idea is correct."
"How could mere high-grade Medicinal Herbs possibly yield Seventh-Rank Alchemist's alchemy notes!"
Those who are accomplished are teachers. Now that Xiao Yan is already Seventh-Rank Alchemist in Fama's eyes, Fama's attitude has become even more respectful.
Xiao Yan touched his nose and then touched the mask.
He lowered his hand and said, "Put yourself in their shoes."
Xiao Yan then took another high-grade Medicinal Herbs and put it into his Storage Ring before handing the alchemy notes to Fama: "Master Fama, there isn't much Soul Power in this scroll. It's probably not enough for anyone else to view besides yourself. Please be careful."
Fama nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course!"
Back in the meeting room.
Fama asked Xiao Yan if he still wanted to be a judge.
Xiao Yan politely declined.
I only came to join in the fun because of Hai Bodong's influence.
Since this wasn't Fama's true purpose, and he had already completed the transaction with Fama, there was no need to waste time on this.
Fama did not force him to stay.
Because he was now eager to browse through Xiao Yan's alchemy notes.
Hai Bodong, on the other hand, had just broken through his cultivation level and was at a time when he had nothing to do, so he decided to go and join in the fun.
Xiao Yan simply returned to the Mittel Family on his own.
I returned to my own courtyard.
He summoned the Yao Lao directly.
"Teacher, please help me think of a prescription. I want to refine a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill using the Earth Nether Poison Flower as the main ingredient," Xiao Yan said.
The Yao Lao's Soul Body floated out of the ring and said, "Yan'er, didn't I say that I need to absorb the energy of the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva, so please try not to call me out?"
What problem have you encountered this time?
Xiao Yan repeated his words.
Hearing Xiao Yan's request, Yao Lao looked puzzled. "Yan'er, haven't you already prepared the pills you're going to refine at the Alchemist Conference?"
Xiao Yan nodded and said logically, "I'm ready. Although I haven't personally refined it yet, based on my experience with the last self-created prescription, the prescription I'm creating this time should also be fine."
Moreover, pressure is a motivator; tomorrow, under the spotlight, I'll actually perform at an even higher level.
The Yao Lao shook his head and smiled helplessly, "You brat, other Alchemist search for the Medicinal Herbs in the prescriptions they know."
On the contrary, you created your own prescription based on the Medicinal Herbs you had, and succeeded on your first try.
Now you've created a new formula. I wonder what you'll do if you fail to refine this new elixir at the Alchemist Conference and lose face."
Xiao Yan said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of when I'm wearing a mask?"
Moreover, previous prescriptions were created by other people; if they could create them, there's no reason why I can't.
Moreover, the most difficult part for Alchemist in creating a prescription is identifying the properties of the Medicinal Herbs. With your help in laying the foundation, the difficulty is actually about the same as when you create the prescription yourself."
Xiao Yan steered the conversation back to the topic:
"Getting back to the point, teacher, this Earth Nether Poison Flower was something I recently discovered at the Alchemist Guild..."
That's how it is. When I saw this Medicinal Herbs, I thought that if I used it as the main ingredient to refine a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, I could highlight its toxicity.
When I travel to the Chu Yun Empire to meet Xiao Yi Xian in the future, it can be used as a gift.
"So I'd like to ask you, teacher, to help me refine the prescription for the best possible outcome."
After hearing Xiao Yan's purpose for refining the pills, Yao Lao had an expression that said, "That's not surprising, that's not surprising at all." "So it's for your 'good friend'."
"Then you can give this prescription to me."
You should focus your energy on the prescription you've already prepared.
Oh, right, remember to tell me all the Medicinal Herbs you currently possess, so I have a general idea and can create a Medicinal Herbs based on them."
Hearing that the Yao Lao was going to take on the troublesome task of creating the prescription, Xiao Yan didn't stand on ceremony at all. "Then I'll trouble you, teacher. It just so happens that you've taken the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva. Using your brain more might even help with digestion."
The Yao Lao laughed and said, "You certainly have a lot of fallacies to rely on."
"By the way, what exactly is the effect of that new prescription you created recently? What Medicinal Herbs were used? You'll be practicing it tomorrow, so let me help you assess it first."
Xiao Yan did not refuse and took out Medicinal Herbs and a large number of jade bottles from his Storage Ring.
"This pill I created uses the Ice Spirit Cold Spring as its core, with a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring as the core energy supply. Most of the other auxiliary materials are fire-attribute, such as a Sixth Rank Fire-Attribute Magic Core, a large number of fire-attribute Medicinal Herbs, and a Yin-Yang Flower," Xiao Yan explained his ideas.
Listening to Xiao Yan's train of thought, Yao Lao's face showed approval. "Not bad, worthy of being my disciple."
"Your Medicinal Herbs this time is even better than the Yin-Birth Yang-Death Pill. Using a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring as the core, adding a large amount of fire-attribute Medicinal Herbs and a Sixth-Rank Magical Core, and neutralizing it with Yin-Yang Flower, the combination of the two energies should allow this pill to directly enhance your cultivation!"
With the pill receiving Yao Lao's approval, Xiao Yan smiled.
"Teacher, you're right. According to my thinking, the ultimate effect of this pill should be to directly increase the user's cultivation level after consumption."
However, it requires a certain level of physical fitness; if one's physical fitness is not up to standard, the Fire Energy within the elixir will tear the user to shreds.
Conversely, it can allow the user to increase their cultivation level by One-Star at the Dou Zong stage.
The Yao Lao, "Even if it requires a certain level of physical fitness to improve One-Star Dou Zong cultivation, the quality of your pill should still be at least Seventh-grade Intermediate."
Yan'er, tomorrow's practical exercise will be to verify whether your prescription works. If it does, you will have broken through your own limits once again and created a mid- Seventh-grade Intermediate prescription.
"Moreover, the effects of your pills will even tempt Dou Zong experts. Whether used to exchange for resources or for other purposes, they will play a significant role."
Xiao Yan nodded. "Indeed."
He added in his mind, "This pill should be enough to lure that Soul Hall Protector, right?"
"Alright, Yan'er, I'll go think of a new prescription for you now." The Yao Lao said, then disappeared back into his ring.
Xiao Yan also put away the Medicinal Herbs, summoned flames, and practiced his Flame Control Technique in the courtyard.
The next day.
The day the Alchemist Conference begins.
Xiao Yan got out of bed, washed up quickly, and changed into his Sixth-Rank Alchemist robe.
He was unable to participate as a contestant in the once-every-eight-years Alchemist Conference.
But as the opening act, he wanted to get off to a good start by being the first to refine pills on the field.
"Why am I a little excited about refining Tier 7 Medicinal Pill in front of everyone?"
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, I can't shake off my youthful spirit. It's hard not to look forward to showing off in front of others."
