Chapter 286: Practice with Heart

Chapter 286: Practice with Heart In order to prevent others from seeing that he had a fire soul, Shen Xiang deliberately restrained the aura of his flame. However, those old alchemists still felt that Shen Xiang's flame was very powerful. Although the faint fire was very weak, they could still see it from it.

Hua Xiangyue just quietly watched Shen Xiang refining the elixir. Shen Xiang was very serious at this moment, concentrating on refining the elixir, and was not affected by the people around him.

Shen Xiang's level of controlling flames has reached perfection. Those old alchemists all closed their eyes to feel the changes in the temperature of the flame in Shen Xiang's alchemy furnace. What made them feel incredible was that the temperature in the alchemy furnace seemed to have not changed at all, but was very stable.

Only Hua Xiangyue could sense that the temperature of the flame in Shen Xiang's alchemy furnace was very well controlled and very subtle. This was something that only many high-level alchemists could do.

Those old men felt something was strange because the temperature changes in the two furnaces were very strange. They had seen others refining the Hundred Beasts Pill before, and they themselves knew how to refine it, but not like Shen Xiang. The flame was just like that at the beginning, without much change. Under normal circumstances, when refining the Hundred Beasts Pill, a very large flame would be used to burn the medicinal materials at the beginning. The degree of heat received by several medicinal materials was different, so the heat released by the alchemy furnace should be very strong.

Shen Xiang opened his eyes and smiled at Hua Xiangyue. The other elders were slightly stunned. Shen Xiang was quite serious just now, but now he started to make small moves. This is a taboo in alchemy.

Shen Xiang could guess something from the expressions of the three old men. He secretly laughed in his heart: "It's strange that you can sense the exact situation inside the furnace. This is the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace. The time inside is different from that outside."

Hua Xiangyue spat softly. Just now she was secretly admiring Shen Xiang's seriousness in her heart, but now he was smiling at her.

This instantly wiped out the good impression the three old alchemists had of him, especially the way Shen Xiang looked at Hua Xiangyue, which made them secretly despise him. He even did not forget to look at the beauty while refining the elixir, which made them regret coming to supervise Shen Xiang.

"Be serious!" Hua Xiangyue hummed. Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chen Xiang chuckled: "I've finished refining it."

"What?" Hua Xiangyue and the three old alchemists couldn't help but exclaimed and quickly jumped up from their chairs, with disbelief on their faces.

How long has it been? They remembered that Shen Xiang had just closed the furnace cover not long ago, and before they could figure out anything, Shen Xiang said that it was done.

"Stop joking!" Hua Xiangyue had just finished speaking when Shen Xiang opened the lid of the furnace. He saw a green light emanating from inside. Ten green pills emitting a strange medicinal fragrance were lying quietly inside, and the white mist wrapped outside also slowly dissipated.

There were actually ten pills! The three old alchemists were dumbfounded, and hurried over to count them carefully three times before they confirmed that there were ten Hundred Beast Pills.

"Don't doubt it, this is what I refined. You are all veterans in the alchemy world. How dare I tamper with it under your noses." Shen Xiang said unhappily. He just performed better than usual, so it was a little faster. He didn't expect these people not to believe it.

"It's unbelievable! The Hundred Beasts Pill can be refined so quickly. How long did it take you to refine this pill?" An old man asked, looking at a Hundred Beasts Pill carefully.

"Not long, just a few months." Shen Xiang said. In fact, he succeeded in refining it only a few days ago. He scared these old guys to death, so he lied. Hua Xiangyue also expressed understanding for this.

But this still scared the three old men a lot. Their expressions were very funny. They looked like they wanted to kill themselves by banging their heads against each other, because when comparing the quality, quantity, and time of the Hundred Beasts Pill, they could not compare with Shen Xiang in any aspect. If they competed with Shen Xiang in refining the Hundred Beasts Pill, they would be defeated miserably.

Although Hua Xiangyue was also very surprised, she quickly calmed down. She was very familiar with Shen Xiang, and she had gradually gotten used to the shocking things Shen Xiang did. For example, Liu Meng'er, a beauty who was pursued by thousands of young strong men ten thousand years ago, was now won over by this brat Shen Xiang, and he was both a master and an apprentice. If this were told to others, no one would believe it.

"Ahem... I just didn't want to waste the time of you seniors, so I refined it a little faster!" Shen Xiang saw the three old alchemists standing there looking at the Hundred Beasts Pill, and he coughed dryly.

The three old alchemists were hit hard again. Alchemy is not something that can be done quickly. If it were not for their status, they would definitely pester Shen Xiang and ask him to pass on some of his experience to them.

Shen Xiang's first principle in alchemy is not to waste medicinal materials. He must make the best use of them, so that he can produce one more pill in one furnace. Because in the process of alchemy, a lot of very fine medicinal powder will turn into mist and flow away. This is why the alchemist's secret room is full of medicinal fragrance, but Shen Xiang will not let this happen. He must have complete control over everything in the alchemy furnace, so he will generally have one or two more pills in one furnace than others.

Hua Xiangyue and the others also discovered this. When Shen Xiang was refining the elixir, it could be said that he did not produce any smell at all. This made them feel ashamed, because this was not something that could be achieved by talent alone, but a matter of mentality. When they were refining the elixir, they only pursued the ability to produce the elixir, and did not even care about the quality of the elixir, but Shen Xiang had very high requirements for the quality and use of medicinal materials.

Even Su Meiyao had to admire Shen Xiang for this. She thought that perhaps it was because Shen Xiang used his "heart" when refining the pills that he made such rapid progress and was able to refine pills better than others.

The second pill Shen Xiang refined was the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although Shen Xiang also used this pill to replace the top-grade spiritual pill in the last assessment, he still had to refine it again now.

Shen Xiang took out the medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he arranged them carefully. At this time, the three old alchemists opened their eyes wide, worried that they would miss every detail of Shen Xiang. Although they had also refined Foundation Establishment Pills, it was many years ago. Because Qingxuan Fruit was not easy to find, they saw someone refining it, so of course they had to watch carefully.

In the eyes of the three old alchemists, Shen Xiang seemed so tall, just like their teacher. Hua Xiangyue just looked at him calmly. She had known for a long time that Shen Xiang could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. She was just curious about what kind of low-grade Xuan-level pill Shen Xiang could refine besides the Hundred Beasts Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Shen Xiang has refined many foundation-building pills, and now he still has quite a few in his hands. If he is willing and tries his best to grow Qingxuan fruits, he can almost eat the foundation-building pills as candy beans.

The Qingxuan Fruit that Liu Meng'er gave him was also very good. He was able to refine four of them. Last time, due to the lack of medicinal materials, he could only refine two, but this was still very amazing.

After Shen Xiang processed the herbs, he put them into the alchemy furnace, covered the furnace lid, and started the fire. What followed was a very boring process, but the three old alchemists watched with great interest. Shen Xiang didn't know what they were watching, and he couldn't sense the temperature, let alone see the situation inside the alchemy furnace.
