Successfully Refining the Blood Battle Pill, a Storage Ring
"Ye Nan, this is the Azure Dragon Cauldron."
"This is the Sea of Clouds Cauldron."
"This is..."
Throughout Blue Star, medicinal cauldrons used for alchemy were divided into clearly defined grades.
Low, intermediate, high, and top grade.
He had heard that there were even more precious medicinal cauldrons above the top grade, but information about them was far too scarce.
The medicinal cauldrons in this alchemy room were all high-grade.
As Ye Nan listened to Zhang Yueshan's introduction, he activated the Super Alchemy Brain.
He wanted to see whether he could examine these high-grade medicinal cauldrons from the perspective of the Super Alchemy Brain.
Sure enough, just as he had expected, with the Super Alchemy Brain at work,
he soon identified the medicinal cauldron best suited to refining the Blood Battle Pill.
"Alliance Leader Zhang, I think I'll use the Azure Dragon Cauldron to refine the Blood Battle Pill."
Ye Nan spoke to Zhang Yueshan, who stood beside him.
Zhang Yueshan was somewhat taken aback when he heard Ye Nan say this.
As a sixth-grade alchemist, he naturally knew that the Azure Dragon Cauldron was the best choice for refining the Blood Battle Pill.
But how did Ye Nan know?
Was it a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, or...?
While Zhang Yueshan was still wondering in surprise, Wang Pei brought over the medicinal ingredients for refining the Blood Battle Pill.
Ye Nan naturally knew which medicinal ingredients were needed to refine the Blood Battle Pill.
Not only that, he also had the Blood Battle Pill's formula and every detail in his mind.
Those details included when to use how much force with the Medicinal Fire, when to add the medicinal ingredients, and so on.
After Ye Nan watched Wang Pei place the medicinal ingredients for refining the Blood Battle Pill, including blood spirit powder fruit, wood change dragon leaves, white jade water, and purple-leaf spirit flowers, on the alchemy table,
he smiled calmly.
In theory, with his perfect-level control over the Medicinal Fire and the Super Alchemy Brain in his mind,
he could refine any pill, but discussing warfare on paper was still only discussing warfare on paper.
He needed more hands-on practice.
Refining the Blood Battle Pill would not only earn him a reward from the Alchemist Alliance, but also give him some valuable experience.
"Ye Nan, this is the formula for the Blood Battle Pill. First, familiarize yourself with it, and then..."
Zhang Yueshan took the Blood Battle Pill formula out of his storage ring.
"That won't be necessary, Alliance Leader Zhang."
Ye Nan shook his head.
Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei were both somewhat stunned by Ye Nan's response.
He was going to refine the Blood Battle Pill without the formula?
Could it be that Ye Nan had refined a Blood Battle Pill before and therefore knew the formula?
Or did Ye Nan know he couldn't refine the Blood Battle Pill at all, and that was why he didn't want the formula?
After Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei recovered from their surprise, they both believed it was the latter.
After all, the former was simply too unlikely.
"Ye Nan, then... go ahead and start refining."
Zhang Yueshan had been mentally prepared for this beforehand, and after seeing that Ye Nan didn't want the Blood Battle Pill formula,
he thought, Then I'll take a look at Ye Nan's Medicinal Fire and see just how skilled he is at controlling it while I'm at it.
Wang Pei had never seen Ye Nan practice alchemy in person either, and he too was looking forward to seeing Ye Nan's Medicinal Fire.
After Zhang Yueshan finished speaking, Ye Nan opened his palm.
A ball of deep cyan flame appeared in his palm.
Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei stared blankly at the rich Medicinal Fire in Ye Nan's palm.
Even among dark Medicinal Fires, there were differences.
Zhang Yueshan's Medicinal Fire was also deep cyan, but compared with Ye Nan's deep cyan Medicinal Fire, his was as far apart as heaven and earth; the two simply could not be compared.
However, they both knew that Ye Nan's Medicinal Fire was top-grade.
Although they were surprised after Ye Nan displayed his Medicinal Fire, their astonishment had not yet reached an extreme.
Then, following the information about the Blood Battle Pill in his mind,
Ye Nan lit the Azure Dragon Cauldron and began adding the medicinal ingredients.
He carried out every step according to the information the Super Alchemy Brain had given him.
Standing to the side, Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei watched as Ye Nan displayed such consummate mastery over the flame.
This time, they were utterly stunned.
They stared at Ye Nan, dumbfounded and speechless.
As a sixth-grade alchemist, Zhang Yueshan knew that even his own skill at controlling the flame fell somewhat short of Ye Nan's.
Never mind Blue Star; even within Dragon Country, there were many alchemists more skilled at controlling flames than he was.
But how old was Ye Nan?
He was just a student at Jiangcheng Middle School, not even twenty years old and not yet having taken the college entrance exam.
This was simply too outrageous.
Wang Pei, too, stood as stiff as a wooden chicken, like a sculpture of wood and clay.
A thought formed in his mind.
Could Ye Nan really succeed in refining the Blood Battle Pill?
After all, his skill at controlling the flame was simply too outrageous.
The Blood Battle Pill was a fifth-grade intermediate pill, and refining it was bound to be far more difficult than refining the Wild Rage Pill.
It would take longer, too.
About forty minutes passed.
The Medicinal Fire inside the Azure Dragon Cauldron vanished, and a refreshing pill fragrance wafted out from within.
During the forty minutes Ye Nan spent refining the Blood Battle Pill, Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei had lost count of how many times they had been shocked.
After the Medicinal Fire inside the Azure Dragon Cauldron vanished and the medicinal fragrance wafted out,
Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei's throats bobbed as they swallowed several times.
This fragrance...
Ye Nan really did succeed in refining the Blood Battle Pill.
After Ye Nan took the Blood Battle Pill out of the Azure Dragon Cauldron,
Zhang Yueshan and Wang Pei's pupils contracted sharply as they gazed at the Blood Battle Pill in Ye Nan's hand.
They were greatly astonished. Had Ye Nan truly succeeded in refining the Blood Battle Pill?
To have succeeded in refining a fifth-grade intermediate Blood Battle Pill at such a young age-if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes,
they probably wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death.
And the quality of the Blood Battle Pill...
Zhang Yueshan knew that even if he refined the Blood Battle Pill himself, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve such fine quality.
"Ye Nan, how about... how about you become the alliance leader of our Jiang City Alchemist Alliance?"
A few seconds later, Zhang Yueshan swallowed and spoke to Ye Nan.
Beside Zhang Yueshan, Wang Pei was momentarily stunned to hear the alliance leader say this.
Was the alliance leader really being so direct?
Ye Nan hadn't expected Zhang Yueshan to say that either. After a brief moment of surprise, he smiled.
"Alliance Leader Zhang, there's no need for that."
He would be leaving Jiangcheng before long, so there was absolutely no need for him to become the leader of the Jiang City Alchemist Alliance.
With that, he handed the Blood Battle Pill to Zhang Yueshan.
Seeing this, Zhang Yueshan hurriedly accepted the Blood Battle Pill.
"Ye Nan, just tell us whatever you need. As long as it's within our power, we'll do it unconditionally."
Zhang Yueshan spoke to Ye Nan.
"I wonder if you have a storage ring. I really need one right now."
After giving it some thought, Ye Nan spoke to Zhang Yueshan.
"Of course we do!"
"I'll take you there right now!"
With that, Zhang Yueshan led Ye Nan into a room.
Once inside, Zhang Yueshan took out a small box and handed it to Ye Nan.
Ye Nan took the small box and opened it, revealing a purple ring.
