Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

However, Yang Xuan didn't pay any attention to the interaction between the master and disciple. Instead, he lowered his head and thought about his own matter. He prepared three sets of medicinal ingredients, but they were not the same pill formula.    

    

One of them was called the Ascending Cloud Pill. As the name implies, the person who consumed the pill could ascend to the heavens and ascend to the heavens. This was consumed at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. It could plant an Immortal Root for cultivators and allow them to ascend to the heavens.    

    

The other pill was called the Spiritfount Pill. Yang Xuan didn't prepare this pill formula for himself. Instead, he planned to refine it and hand it over to the little black snake general.    

    

This kind of pill was refined by those large sects for disciples to consume. It could increase the strength of the person who consumed it. However, there was no Spiritual Force within this pill. It was just a container. Its function was to slowly release the energy contained within the pill to the extent that it could be accepted by the person who consumed it.    

    

In other words, after Wu Jiang consumed the Spirit Accumulating Pill, he would be able to store the boundless soul force within his body into the Spirit Accumulating Pill. He would gradually absorb until all the energy was completely absorbed. The Spiritfount Pill also lost its function.    

    

After walking around the examination room, Shoutan stood on the stage once again. He knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, the examination has officially begun. Please place your hands on the table, or else you will be treated as cheating."    

    

Everyone nodded. Yang Xuan also placed his hands on the medicinal cauldron. This medicinal cauldron was bought by Yang Xuan in the Mortal Realm for him to practice. Its quality could also be considered to be average. However, compared to the other people present, especially the medicinal cauldron in Ling Ji's hands... It was a complete world of difference.    

    

However, Yang Xuan was not in a hurry. The most important thing when refining pills was nothing more than controlling the flame, grasping the condition of the pill, and placing the medicinal ingredients in sequence.    

    

He had once learned these pill formulas from Biyao, and after absorbing Luo Ga's memory, his divine soul had become several times stronger. Naturally, he could easily master these steps.    

    

Shoutan walked around the room and his gaze stopped on the pill that everyone was refining. His expression was also constantly changing. With his Immortal Grade Alchemy Master realm, he was naturally able to easily see the level of these Alchemy Masters. How high was the probability of passing the test?    

    

Yang Xuan slowly started a fire within the medicinal cauldron. Shoutan's eyes landed on Yang Xuan's medicinal cauldron. His expression involuntarily changed.    

    

For an alchemist, apart from the psychic force being powerful enough, the flame used for refining pills was also a very important part.    

    

Hence, the vast majority of alchemists were fire affinity cultivators in order to better control the flame. Only when one was familiar with the flame could the medicinal strength of the herbs be maximized.    

    

And at this moment, the flame in Yang Xuan's pill furnace was precisely Li Yan. When Shoutan saw this flame, his first reaction was disdain. He didn't know Li Yan. After all, the Phoenix Clan had been in seclusion for many years. However, he could naturally see the scariness of this flame.    

    

However, the stronger the flame, the better. After all, the stronger the flame, the harder it was to control the flame.    

    

But soon after, his eyes were filled with shock.    

    

Yang Xuan threw a Water Heart Fruit into the flame and began to refine the medicinal strength of the Water Heart Fruit. The Water Heart Fruit was the hardest to refine among all medicinal herbs below the Emperor Grade pill. In order to retain the medicinal strength of the Water Heart Fruit, one had to slowly force out the medicinal strength within. One also had to retain the water element within.    

    

Therefore, most cultivators used the method of slowly forcing out the medicinal strength to refine it. It was possible to slowly force out the degree of fierceness of the Li Flame, and it was virtually impossible to do so.    

    

However, just as he thought that Yang Xuan was about to fail, he saw Yang Xuan throw the Water Heart Fruit into the flame. He used the Spiritual Force to shatter the Water Heart Fruit in the air, and all the ingredients inside were squeezed out.    

    

Subsequently, Yang Xuan placed the juice that was squeezed out of the Water Heart Fruit on the flame and roasted it for a few seconds. After that, he took out the juice from the medicinal cauldron.    

    

The juice floated in the air, revealing a beautiful sky blue color. Shoutan nearly cried out in surprise because this lump of juice coincidentally extracted ninety percent of the medicinal strength of the Water Heart Fruit. Moreover, the temperature of the flame was very delicate. If it was a little bit more... This medicinal strength would lose at least half of the medicinal strength, but if there was one less point... If the medicinal strength was not fully exerted, then it was equivalent to wasting a treasure.    

    

Yang Xuan frowned. He didn't know how much shock this move had brought to Shoutan. This method of extracting was something Yang Xuan had learned from Biyao. As one of the top alchemists in the entire Heaven Realm, the only saint grade alchemist, Biyao's means were not something ordinary people could compare with.    

    

But Luo Ga just followed the example and forcefully learned this method. But that was built on the premise that Luo Ga was powerful, and it was still somewhat difficult for Yang Xuan to complete this move.    

    

So from the beginning to the end, Yang Xuan had been focusing his attention on the condition of the medicinal herbs. But even so, his reaction was still half a beat slower. This caused the Water Heart Fruit, which could have been refined with 99% medicinal strength, to be roasted on the flame for an extra breath at this stage. Only 90% of the medicinal strength was left.    

    

However, Yang Xuan curled his lips and continued to throw the next medicinal ingredient into the medicinal cauldron. The medicinal liquid of the Water Heart Fruit was thrown into a jade bottle.    

    

Shoutan walked around and left. His gaze once again landed on Zhong Wen. At this moment, Zhong Wen had just finished refining the first pill, but he was still lacking some heat. Shoutan coughed when he saw that Zhong Wen was about to leave the fire.    

    

Zhong Wen's hand trembled slightly, and the somewhat moist powder burned on the flame for a few more seconds. Shoutan coughed again. Zhong Wen quickly took out the powder that had reached the fire level.    

    

Yang Xuan had just finished refining a herb when he heard Shoutan cough and looked over.    

    

He could not help but ask, "Elder Shoutan, are you sick?"    

    

Laughter sounded in the entire examination room. Of course, they knew that there was something fishy going on between Shoutan and Zhong Wen, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. However, Yang Xuan wasn't afraid. He only came to participate in the examination to buy a Purple Smoke Cauldron. He wasn't like the other alchemists who would have to rely on the Elixir Association to maintain their livelihood in the future.    

    

Shoutan was infuriated by Yang Xuan's words, but he could only say hypocritically, "Cough, cough. I feel a cold. It's not too serious."    

    

As he spoke, he came in front of Yang Xuan and watched him refine medicine.    

    

He came here for two reasons. One was to give Yang Xuan psychological pressure. To make Yang Xuan perform abnormally. Of course, he could also tell that Yang Xuan's alchemy foundation was not weak. Therefore, he did not have much hope for this.    

    

However, he had another goal. That was his true goal, and that was to harm Yang Xuan. That was why he did this.
