Chapter 326: Chapter 324: Failure at the End of the Battle
Liu Xi sat high on the seat, looking at Tang Zhen and the others in the square with a calm expression, as if he didn't care at all about the success or failure of his alchemy.
He didn't really care. If it worked, it worked. If it didn't work, it worked. This was just Liu Xi's casual attempt.
There were a dozen alchemy masters standing around, except for the Little Immortal Physician and Yao Tianhuo on both sides, but at this moment, they seemed speechless.
He wanted to say a few words to Liu Xi, but he was too embarrassed to speak. He was even more afraid that Liu Xi would ignore him, so he kept quiet.
It was normal for some sixth and seventh-grade alchemists to react like this when they saw Liu Xi, an eighth-grade alchemist. Even though Liu Xi was young, he was an eighth-grade alchemist who was far superior to them.
In the square, Master Huang and Master Xiao were fully prepared. Seeing this, Tang Zhen turned around and sat cross-legged on the stone seat on the other side.
With a wave of his hand, a huge medicine cauldron appeared out of thin air and immediately crashed onto the ground between the three of them.
This medicine cauldron is fiery red in color, and has volcanic eruptions patterns engraved on it. At first glance, a fierce aura rushes towards you.
Seeing this medicine cauldron, the expressions of many alchemists present changed. I believe that no senior alchemist will be able to recognize this medicine cauldron. This is one of the thirteen cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron List — the Shanrong Cauldron.
Master Huang was surprised: "This is a Mountain Melted Cauldron? It turns out that it is kept by Master Tang Valley. Master Tang Valley is truly lucky to have found this medicine cauldron."
Tang Zhen smiled. He didn't have the talent to refine medicine, but he could refine some inexpensive elixirs. The Nine Dragon Thunder Gang's Fire and the Melting Mountain Cauldron were irreplaceable.
"It's just a coincidence. This is one of the things I rely on, so you two don't need to put too much mental pressure on it, just let things flow naturally."
"That's good!"
"This makes me feel more at ease!"
Master Huang and Master Xiao said one after another, their faces gradually showing some relief. In the end, it seemed like Tang Zhen was truly ready.
Tang Zhen clenched and released his palms, and with a clap, a ball of silvery white flames immediately rose from his hands, with nine fire dragons floating in it, glowing with a strong dragon power.
With a wave of his hand, the silver-white flames immediately began to flicker and gushed into the mountain smelting pot along the mouth of the fire, flaring up violently in an instant.
"Before that, the two of you should first take this elixir. It will allow you to survive the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire for a longer time and not be easily injured by the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire."
While speaking, Tang Zhen took out a jade bottle containing two silver-white pills with an aura similar to the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire, and then threw it at Master Huang.
After Master Huang took the jade bottle, he did not hesitate, Tang Zhen was unable to deceive them, so he poured out the pill and drank it, then handed it to Master Xiao.
After Master Xiao took the jade bottle, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately drank another elixir. He was even worse than Master Huang. Without this elixir, he might not be able to live for long.
Seeing the two of them take the elixir, Tang Zhen looked solemn. As his hands danced, medicinal herbs appeared from the air. In an instant, a strong fragrance of medicinal herbs spread in all directions.
Tang Zhen said in a deep voice: "Without further delay, let's begin."
Master Huang and Master Xiao immediately nodded, and a wave of soul gushed out from the center of their eyebrows. I wonder if this was the effect of the elixir, but in fact, it was a bit like the aura of the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang's Fire.
Tang Zhen grabbed it with both hands, grabbing a large amount of medicinal materials one after another, and then poured them into the mountain melting cauldron. Suddenly, nine fire dragons rushed over and swallowed these medicinal materials into the body.
The nine fire dragons immediately swelled with flames, blazing with increasing heat, and like nine small medicine cauldrons, began to refine various medicinal materials.
At this time, Master Huang and Master Xiao immediately released their soul power and poured into the mountain smelting pot, immediately feeling the terrifyingly high temperature of the Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire.
Their faces slightly discolored, if it weren't for the elixir provided by Tang Zhen earlier, the two of them would have been even more uncomfortable now, and they wouldn't have been able to last long
"Two masters, get ready. The first batch of medicinal materials will soon be tempered."
After about twenty minutes of touching, Tang Zhen suddenly shouted in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Master Huang and Master Xiao shuddered, immediately gathered themselves together, and focused on the medicine cauldron.
In an instant, the nine fire dragons opened their mouths and spat out streams of medicinal essences filled with a strong medicinal aroma, either medicinal liquid or medicinal powder...
Master Huang and Master Xiao's soul power immediately stepped forward. According to the elixir records, they had collected the essence of the medicinal materials they were in charge of, and gradually facilitated their mutual integration through their soul power.
They are both experienced alchemists, and they are slowly and steadily integrating pure medicinal materials. Even in Liu Xi's opinion, their foundation is very solid.
Under the soul power of these two, the essence of the medicinal materials spat out by the fire dragon was collected, and the drained medicinal liquid also slowly appeared.
Seeing that everything went well, Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately calmed down and began refining the next wave of medicinal materials. The nine fire dragons were like a perpetual motion machine, constantly refining the impurities in the medicinal materials.
Lu Xi secretly nodded as he watched this. This Tang Valley Master was truly extraordinary. His mind was divided into nine parts, and he was still orderly refining the medicinal materials without any hesitation.
This is already a rare thing. Know that many seventh-grade alchemists may not have this ability. It's a pity that without alchemist talent, otherwise, the achievements will not be low.
As time passed, the number of medicinal herbs floating in the sky also rapidly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. After about three days, their number was only half of the original amount.
Tang Zhen had an advanced cultivation and still had the same aura as before, but Master Huan and Master Xiao were not as good as Tang Zhen. The fighting energy in his body was almost exhausted, and he took pills many times to continue to help refine the medicine.
The alchemists outside the field looked at this long refining process without much excitement. After all, they had already seen the eighth-grade elixir and the three-color elixir.
For high-level seventh-grade elixirs, relatively speaking, this expectation is low.
Three days later, all the medicinal herbs floating in the sky were eaten. At this moment, the nine fire dragons opened their mouths and spat out the essence of the medicinal herbs with a strong medicinal aroma.
A flash of color flashed in Tang Zhen's eyes, and his voice was calm but could not hide the trembling as he said, "All the medicinal materials have been refined, and the rest will be left to the two masters."
Master Huang and Master Xiao already looked tired at this time. They had gathered and mixed the pure medicinal materials together without sleep, causing the two seventh-grade alchemists to be extremely tired.
At this moment, he could only muster his strength and begin to collect the last batch of medicinal essences. Finally, eight groups of medicinal essences with a strong medicinal aroma appeared in the medicine cauldron.
At this time, not to mention Master Huang, Master Xiao was already close to unconsciousness and was unable to withstand the burning of the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang's Fire, causing great harm to the soul.
At this critical moment of final fusion, the fusion of medicinal essences showed an extremely strong repulsion, causing ripples of energy to collide in all directions.
"Pfft!"
Master Xiao couldn't take it anymore, spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately lost consciousness. Master Huang also spat out a mouthful of blood. Master Xiao fell into a coma and could only endure all this pressure.
Suddenly, the two alchemists fell into a coma one after another, and the eight groups of pure medicinal materials fused in the medicine cauldron were about to rebel.
Tang Zhen's expression changed abruptly, he looked dejected and muttered to himself: "Failed…"
