Chapter 119 A Complete Mess
```
Heaven-Piercing Peak.
After instructing Xiao Yi to send away Wu Tian and the others, Qinchuan had the Crimson Flame Bird accompany Qin Xiaoyu, while he himself took out the Alchemy Furnace and various Spiritual Medicines, preparing to start refining the Awakening Pill – Innate Pupils.
The main ingredient for refining the Awakening Pill – Innate Pupils was the Essence Blood of the Chiyan Dragon Serpent and the Holy Spirit Fluid, in addition to other 360 auxiliary ingredients.
The Essence Blood of the Chiyan Dragon Serpent and the Holy Spirit Fluid, these two main ingredients, were both extremely valuable and difficult to find.
However, Qinchuan previously encountered a Chiyan Dragon Serpent in the depths of the Great Wilderness. Though its bloodline was impure, he had successfully extracted a trace of Chiyan Dragon Serpent's True Blood using the Method of Blood Refinement.
As for the Holy Spirit Fluid and some other hard-to-find Spiritual Medicines, he had already prepared them in his past life and stored them in the box given to him by the Supreme Elder.
Without any further hesitation.
Qinchuan immediately began the process of refining the Awakening Pill – Innate Pupils.
One by one, the Spirit Medicines were methodically tossed into the Alchemy Furnace by him.
However, just as Qinchuan had added dozens of Spirit Grasses and precious herbs, Wu Tian and the others returned.
The Earth Dragon, Xiao Yi, had already returned to the underground of Heaven-Piercing Peak.
"Hmm? What's that kid doing?"
The crowd went directly to the side hall, and upon entering, they saw Qinchuan continuously adding various medicinal ingredients into the Alchemy Furnace before him, immediately causing them to stare wide-eyed, "This kid...he's doing alchemy?!"
Sensing Wu Tian and the others' return, Qinchuan couldn't help but frown, yet he said nothing.
There was no room for error in refining the Awakening Pill – Innate Pupils. Even for him, there could be no negligence.
Because, only enough of the Chiyan Dragon Serpent's True Blood and Holy Spirit Fluid were at hand to refine a single dose of the Awakening Pill – Innate Pupils.
Too busy to pay any attention to Wu Tian and the others, Qinchuan focused on refining the Awakening Pill – Innate Pupils.
However, to those like Wu Tian who were ignorant of the Alchemy Dao, Qinchuan's strange alchemy hand seals and his steps, which deviated from the usual alchemy procedures, didn't seem to suggest anything was amiss.
But Elder Liu was continuously furrowing his brows, shaking his head, "This guy, instead of properly training in Martial Arts, he's meddling with alchemy – utterly ridiculous. How can Heavenly Spirit Grass be added to the furnace together with the Primordial Spirit Fruit?"
"He tossed in the Heavenly Heart Flower too early. No matter what pill you're refining, the Heavenly Heart Flower should always be added last."
"And this control of the Alchemy Fire... it's a complete mess."
"...The steps are all wrong!"
Elder Liu shook his head repeatedly.
Wu Tian chuckled, "After all, this kid is just a sixteen-year-old boy; how could he know anything about alchemy? Elder Liu, it's enough to watch the fun, why take it seriously?"
"Hehehe..."
Upon hearing this, Elder Yan and the others couldn't help but laugh as well.
Although they didn't understand Alchemy Dao, they knew that the practice of alchemy was incomparably difficult, far more profound than Martial Arts.
That's why, despite the significant status of alchemists, their number was still far fewer than martial artists, and for this reason.
They didn't believe that Qinchuan, a sixteen-year-old boy, knew how to refine elixirs.
Being able to recognize a few medicinal herbs and having a bit of understanding of medical properties was already impressive.
Expecting him to know alchemy as well?
It would be like an iron tree blooming!
Hearing Wu Tian's joke, Elder Liu also paused for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "The Sect Master makes a fair point. Just now, I was merely commenting out of habit. These habits were cultivated over many years of studying the Alchemy Dao; whenever I see someone practicing alchemy with so many flaws and in such a state of confusion, I can't help but feel distressed for the medicinal ingredients..."
However, as the words fell,
the lid of the Alchemy Furnace suddenly shook.
Then, a rich fragrance of elixirs burst forth from it, and in an instant, the fragrance filled the entire hall!
"..."
The people in the hall who had been laughing and jesting suddenly froze, stiffly turning their heads to look at the Alchemy Furnace in front of Qinchuan.
"I think... I smell an elixir fragrance?!"
Wu Tian opened his mouth with difficulty, speaking uncertainly.
"I smell it too... and it's very strong."
Elder Yan and the others also involuntarily opened their mouths, their eyes glazed and disbelieving.
"No... it's not possible. The alchemy steps he took just now were clearly all wrong, filled with flaws, a complete mess. The timings for adding various medicinal ingredients, the control of the flame, all of it was incorrect – how could it possibly result in an elixir?!"
```
Elder Liu's eyes widened in shock, his gaze fixed intently on the alchemy furnace before Qinchuan, as he exclaimed excitedly.
"Condense for me!"
However, at that moment, Qinchuan suddenly formed a few more hand seals, increasing the flow of True Qi, causing the flames of the Alchemy Fire to suddenly surge once again.
"No, the heat of the pill solidifying is too high, it's going to explode the furnace!"
"Stop quickly, lower the flame temperature!"
On seeing this, Elder Liu immediately shouted.
"Bang bang bang!"
The lid of the alchemy furnace indeed shook violently, as if it was about to explode.
Yet, Qinchuan seemed not to notice at all, not only did he not reduce the heat, he kept increasing the temperature of the flames.
"Boom!"
Eventually, the lid of the alchemy furnace burst forth like a geyser shooting towards the sky.
A radiant glow of blazing light also surged out from the furnace.
The rich aroma of the elixir constantly gushed out from the furnace, intoxicating to the senses.
A translucent spirit pill floated inside the furnace, emitting a treasure-like radiance.
"Plop!"
Upon seeing this translucent spirit pill, Elder Liu trembled all over, staggering backward two steps.
His gaze was locked onto the translucent spirit pill, his pupils shaking violently, and his lips quivering uncontrollably as he muttered in disbelief, "A… A top-grade Spirit Pill?!"
"Impossible, this is impossible, he actually concocted a top-grade Spirit Pill, how can this be…I must be dreaming, with such steps, such alchemy techniques, how could it result in pill concoction?"
Elder Liu was so agitated he was beside himself, feeling as if his three hundred years of accumulation in the Alchemy Dao had been completely upended in this instant!
How could an alchemy method that completely defied common sense, that completely defied his understanding, result in a successful pill concoction?!
But against all odds!
The other party concocted the pill right in front of him!
The alchemy method he considered flawed in every aspect had actually produced a furnace full of top-grade Spirit Pills!
What was more overturning for him was that the one who had concocted this batch of top-grade Spirit Pills was merely a sixteen-year-old youth!
A sixteen-year-old youth, right before his eyes, had concocted the top-grade Spirit Pills that he couldn't produce even after studying for three hundred years.
What was the significance of his three hundred years of Alchemy Dao cultivation, then?!
It wasn't just Elder Liu who was stunned.
Wu Tian, as well as the other elders present and Zhou Xi, were all utterly astonished.
Looking at Qinchuan, their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Elder Yan, I'm not dreaming, am I? This kid... he actually concocted a top-grade Spirit Pill?"
With a dry mouth and a parched tongue, Wu Tian spoke out.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Ah! Who's pinching me?!"
Elder Yan suddenly cried out in pain, staring back in anger, and seeing that it was Sect Master Wu Tian who had pinched him, he immediately suppressed his anger and said pitifully, "Sect Master, why are you pinching me?"
"I'm trying to make sure whether I'm dreaming or not."
Wu Tian replied.
Elder Yan grumbled inwardly, then why don't you pinch yourself, why pinch me? But he didn't dare say it aloud, and instead said painfully, "So, Sect Master, have you confirmed it now?"
"Confirmed, you cried out so miserably, obviously in pain, I'm not dreaming, that kid... has indeed concocted a furnace full of top-grade Spirit Pills!"
Wu Tian's eyes gleamed brightly, his face full of excitement.
"Then can you stop pinching me?"
Elder Yan pleaded pitifully.
"Ah, oh, I got too excited and forgot to let go, Elder Yan are you all right?"
"..."
