C193 His Heart Was Stained and He Was Bound to be Weak
Furthermore, Ye Bufan discovered that cultivating in this place was extremely dense because of the fire type spiritual energy, so the Fire Spiritual Force's recovery speed was much faster.
Standing up, Ye Bufan recalled the trip back when he was refining the pill. The ruthlessness of the 'Earthly Heart Flame' continued to appear in his heart. Roughly another two hours passed. The corner of Ye Bufan's mouth slightly lifted. He had basically found the technique to control the Earth Heart Flame.
He placed several Spirit Recovery Pill and Soul Nourishing Pill into his mouth and swallowed them.
With a bang, the lid of the pill cauldron rose into the air. Ye Bufan put the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron one by one with a cautious expression. He carefully controlled the 'Earth Heart Flame' to begin refining them!
His Divine Sense instantly spread throughout the pill cauldron to pay attention to the changes within. The raging flame continuously calcined the medicinal ingredients and turned into a slow-moving scene in Ye Bufan's mind.
The next pill to be refined was to repair the soul, not the body. Therefore, he did not want to completely purify the medicinal herbs. Instead, many medicinal herbs only needed to be purified to a certain degree. The effect of warming and nourishing the soul within the medicinal herbs was unleashed!
If the medicinal ingredients' purity was insufficient, then there would be no effect at all. Or if the purity was too excessive, the medicinal strength that nourished the soul within the medicinal ingredients would also be incinerated into nothingness!
Hence, one had to consume a huge amount of mental energy and sense the changes within the pill cauldron every second, and also consume a huge amount of spirit energy to control the strength of the Earth Heart Flame!
Such a line of work consumed an extremely great amount of spirit energy and mental energy.
About an hour later, Ye Bufan had added nearly a hundred different types of medicinal ingredients. Suddenly, Ye Bufan's expression changed, and a foul smell spread out from the cauldron. Ye Bufan made a hand seal, and the Earth Heart Flame instantly became fierce. A cloud of black smoke floated up, and all the medicinal ingredients within the pill cauldron were burned into nothingness.
Ye Bufan's brows were tightly knitted. He did not even give an explanation to the Sect Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall. At this moment, he was searching for the reason why he had failed just now. What had gone wrong?
He recalled every technique he used just now, and combed through the entire process of his refinement time and time again. Ye Bufan did not find out what had gone wrong with him.
Failure in alchemy wasn't scary! What he was afraid of was failing to find the reason. If that was the case, no matter how many times he refined it, it would be difficult for him to succeed. It would just be a waste of medicinal herbs.
The sect master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall were not the slightest bit unhappy with Ye Bufan's current performance. At this moment, the two of them were sitting cross-legged in the alchemy room. No one made a sound to disturb Ye Bufan's thoughts.
"What do you think?" As the saying goes, concern makes chaos! This pill refinement concerned the life and death of his granddaughter. Even a figure like the Sect Leader couldn't remain calm. Seeing that Ye Bufan still didn't make any movements after a long while, he asked Lord of Hundred Herb Hall via divine sense.
Lord of Hundred Herb Hall looked at Ye Bufan who was still frowning and said via divine sense, "Although I don't know what kind of problem I'm facing right now, I'm sure of it now. If even he is unable to refine the Spirit Cultivating Soul Returning Pill, then there is nothing I can do! "
The Sect Master looked at Lord of Hundred Herb Hall with a questioning gaze! This fellow didn't give any face to anyone in the Stellar Sect except himself. He was extremely arrogant. Now, he had only interacted with Ye Bufan for a very short period of time, yet he was already showing a side of submitting to Ye Bufan?
Looking at the Sect Leader's questioning eyes, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall explained, "Although I don't know why he is so powerful at such a young age, and even has such profound attainments in alchemy, I have no idea. But in terms of alchemy, if I'm not wrong... He should be on par with those old fellows! He's no longer a genius, he should be called a monster!"
The sect master naturally knew who those old fellows Lord of Hundred Herb Hall was talking about were. If it wasn't for all kinds of reasons, he couldn't ask those few people to help refine pills, so the sect master would have personally invited them a long time ago. Now that he heard that Ye Bufan's skill in alchemy was almost the same as those old fellows, a bright light flashed across his eyes. He nodded and didn't say anything else. However, Ye Bufan, who was frowning in front of the pill cauldron... He hoped that his frown would be relieved as soon as possible!
However, Ye Bufan's brows didn't show any signs of development. Instead, he frowned even more tightly. No matter how hard he tried to recall and rely on his rich alchemy experience, he still couldn't find out which step he had made a mistake.
"I'm going out for a walk!" Taking a deep breath, Ye Bufan ignored the surprised gazes of the two and walked towards the alchemy room.
Regarding Ye Bufan's attitude, the Cult Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall looked at each other. Although they were very anxious, they didn't dare to interrupt Ye Bufan at all. They could only pray silently in their hearts.
It was late at night when they came out of the furnace room. The temperature suddenly changed. A cool breeze blew by. Ye Bufan trembled slightly and a Dao Spirit light appeared in his mind.
So it was like this. Ye Bufan finally understood the crux of the matter. There was no mistake in his refining method. The problem lay in his mentality.
When he was refining pills today, he had lost the confidence to win. Although there was no mistake in his technique, his momentum was much weaker.
As the saying goes, if one's heart was corrupted, they would definitely be weak! This was the reason.
Due to his current cultivation being insufficient, his chances of success were not high. Furthermore, considering that there were a few key ingredients that could only be refined once, it was inevitable that Ye Bufan's imposing manner would weaken a bit. It had always resulted in failure.
After figuring this out, Ye Bufan felt that the spiritual energy in his body had already recovered through the automatic circulation of his Golden Core during this period of time, and he once again walked towards the pill refinement room.
Seeing Ye Bufan enter twice, the sect master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall's brows no longer knitted tightly, and their faces were relaxed, they began to hesitate in their hearts. No wonder he found a solution so quickly?
"Let's try again!" After saying that, Ye Bufan walked back to the pill cauldron.
Standing in front of the pill cauldron, Ye Bufan was not in a hurry to start concocting pills. He focused his mind and closed his eyes to adjust his state of mind. Without any distracting thoughts in his mind, he simulated the entire process in his mind. After making up his mind that there were no mistakes, Ye Bufan's eyes suddenly opened wide. A ray of light shot out from his eyes. A powerful confidence that turned into an aura of valor spread out from Ye Bufan's body.
With Ye Bufan's current cultivation base, the Qi that he was emitting was very powerful to the Sect Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall. , however, when they felt the confidence mixed within the Qi, they were slightly moved.
The pill cauldron opened once again and the medicinal herbs fell into it one by one. They were instantly swallowed by the Earth Heart Flame. Under the control of Ye Bufan's powerful Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, they began to purify it with Ye Bufan's hand seal.
This time, Ye Bufan was much less clumsy than before, and his technique was extremely skillful. No one could tell that this was his first time refining such a pill.
Sensing Ye Bufan's change, Lord of Hundred Herb Hall finally understood why Ye Bufan's technique in alchemy was so superb. This kid's talent in alchemy was really too strong. In just a short two hours, he seemed to have found the reason why he made a mistake.
One should know that Lord of Hundred Herb Hall had witnessed the entire process of Ye Bufan's concoction with his own eyes. He was also thinking about where Ye Bufan's mistake was. While he was thinking, he found that Ye Bufan's technique was impeccable, even more perfect than his. While he was still puzzled, Ye Bufan seemed to have found the reason behind it. This was probably the difference between him and himself!
When Lord of Hundred Herb Hall did not understand the specific situation of Ye Bufan, he naturally attributed Ye Bufan's ability in alchemy to his talent. If he knew Ye Bufan had lived two lives, he probably wouldn't think this way.
While Hundred Herbs Hall was deep in thought, Ye Bufan had already inserted over three hundred kinds of medicinal ingredients into the medicinal cauldron. He was about to begin investing in the key medicinal ingredients, and the true outcome of the pill refinement was about to know the answer!
At this time, the consumption of spiritual force and spiritual force had already reached a terrifying extent. Ye Bufan's face was extremely pale. His breathing also became somewhat heavy. He swallowed the last Spirit Recovery Pill and the Spirit Nurturing Pill that he had previously held in his mouth at the same time. Only then did Ye Bufan's condition slightly improve.
At the same time that he handed over the exchange technique, he also put a handful of pill into his mouth. With a slight shake of his right hand, the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon Branch and the Earth Fiend Fruit jumped out from the storage bracelet and directly fell into the pill cauldron!
Storage bracelet? Shock flashed across the eyes of the Sect Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall, but their spiritual energy was immediately attracted by the pill cauldron.
The medicinal ingredients that Zhong Bufan had added into the pill cauldron were not like the original supplementary ingredients. Even if they were destroyed, it would still be fine. The medicinal ingredients that were added now were all rare treasures. If they failed at this time... Lord of Hundred Herb Hall did not dare guarantee that he would be able to gather another portion.
At this moment, Ye Bufan was even more focused. It was as if he and the pill cauldron were the only ones left at this moment.
Even though the Sect Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall were already Almighty at Void Stage, under this stimulation, their breathing still involuntarily became heavy. Lord of Hundred Herb Hall clenched his fists tightly, his heart beating along with the rhythm of the flames.
The Dragon Star Grass, the Phoenix's Saliva Branch, and the Nine Leaf Qiong Fruit were thrown into the pill cauldron by Ye Bufan. The two people beside him held their breaths for a moment. They were afraid that any sound they made would have an irreparable effect on Ye Bufan.
If the pill in his mouth was like it was free, it would be swallowed by Ye Bufan one by one, but it was still difficult to make up for Ye Bufan's current consumption. His face turned extremely pale, and it was not much better than Ao Hongxiu lying on the bed.
Both of his legs trembled slightly, but Ye Bufan still gritted his teeth and persisted. He knew that if he could not hold on at this moment, then his previous efforts would be destroyed along with the medicinal herbs in the pill cauldron. In this way, it was unknown how long it would take to find the next batch of herbs!
Looking at the changes on Ye Bufan's body, the Sect Master and Lord of Hundred Herb Hall could only be anxious. There was no way they could help Ye Bufan right now. Any excess energy they had at this moment could cause Ye Bufan to fail his pill refinement.
