Chapter 84: Refining the Qingming Longevity Pill!
One hour later.
Miteer Auction House, VIP room.
"Chief Tengshan called me here, is it for the matter of the Qingming Longevity Pill?"
In the VIP room, Gu He and Miteer Tengshan sat opposite each other.
Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan nodded and said, "Indeed, Lord Alchemist, I have already gathered all the materials required for refining the Qingming Longevity Pill."
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu He's eyes, "The Miteer family is indeed the wealthiest family in the Jia Ma Empire. Even Yun Lan Sect would find it difficult to gather all the materials for refining the Qingming Longevity Pill. I didn't expect Chief Tengshan to be able to gather them all in such a short time."
"Lord Alchemist is too kind. How could the Miteer family compare to Yun Lan Sect?" Miteer Tengshan replied humbly, "I was just fortunate. To gather these medicinal ingredients, I also had to pay a significant price."
As he spoke, Miteer Tengshan's face showed a hint of pain. It was clear that the Miteer family had spent a substantial amount to collect these materials.
"Chief Tengshan is being too modest. Since the medicinal ingredients have been gathered, please hand them over," Gu He said calmly.
"Very well."
Upon hearing this, Miteer Tengshan didn't hesitate and immediately presented a storage ring to Gu He.
Accepting the storage ring from Miteer Tengshan, Gu He's consciousness entered it and checked the contents. Then he nodded in approval.
Inside the storage ring were not only the materials for refining the Qingming Longevity Pill but also some main ingredients for the Purple Spirit Pill.
After putting away the storage ring, Gu He stood up and said, "Since the medicinal ingredients have been gathered, and there's still some time, I might as well refine it for you."
Gu He looked at Miteer Tengshan and asked, "Is there a quiet place in the auction house?"
Upon hearing Gu He's words, Miteer Tengshan showed some hesitation, "Lord Alchemist, are you planning to start refining the Qingming Longevity Pill right now?"
In his opinion, Gu He should make some preparations before refining it, especially for a sixth-grade pill like this. If there were any mistakes, all previous efforts would be in vain.
Miteer Tengshan was well aware of the regulations in the alchemy world. If these two sets of materials were both wasted, he would be the one to suffer the most. The Miteer family had spent a considerable amount to gather them.
Looking at the milky white liquid, Gu He breathed a sigh of relief. With a flick of his fingers, the flame surged. Under the soaring temperature, the palm-sized milky white liquid began to shrink visibly. As it decreased in volume, its color deepened until it resembled a white pearl.
Seeing that the refining of the Qingming Fruit went smoothly, Gu He did not pause. He waved his hand, and another medicinal ingredient flew in, finally thrown into the cauldron.
As time passed, one after another medicinal ingredient was continuously thrown into the cauldron by Gu He. Consequently, various pure medicinal forces started to appear inside the cauldron.
At this moment, Gu He's expression finally became serious. Soul force spread from his forehead, infiltrating the cauld
ron, controlling the changes in temperature and paying attention to the movements of the Qingming Fruit.
Under the high-temperature incineration of the primal divine fire, even the toughest medicinal materials would quickly surrender. The Qingming Fruit, despite briefly blocking the primal divine fire with the vitality it contained, succumbed when Gu He manipulated the flame. A thin white liquid gradually overflowed from the fruit.
As the flame continued to steam, more and more milky white liquid emerged, finally forming a liquid mass beneath it, about half the size of a palm.
With his gaze fixed on the cauldron, after approximately an hour, Gu He changed his hand seal. The flame inside the cauldron gradually calmed down, and the Qingming Fruit had completely dissipated, replaced by a mass of milky white liquid brimming with vitality.
Looking at the milky white liquid, Gu He breathed a sigh of relief. Changing his hand seal again, the flame surged. Under the rising temperature, the palm-sized milky white liquid began to shrink visibly. As it decreased in volume, its color deepened until it resembled a white pearl.
Seeing the refining process go smoothly, Gu He did not pause. He waved his hand, and another medicinal ingredient flew in, finally thrown into the cauldron.
As time passed, one after another medicinal ingredient was continuously thrown into the cauldron by Gu He. Consequently, various pure medicinal forces started to appear inside the cauldron.
At this moment, Gu He's expression finally became serious. Soul force spread from his forehead, infiltrating the cauldron, controlling the changes in temperature and paying attention to the movements of the Qingming Fruit.
After a meticulous refining process that lasted for nearly three hours, all the medicinal ingredients were successfully refined by Gu He in an orderly manner.
As the tedious refining process neared its conclusion, a rough, uneven pill prototype gradually formed inside the cauldron. With the slow roasting of the purple flame, the pill prototype became more rounded, and a strong medicinal fragrance emanated from it.
Carefully maintaining the process, the milky white surface of the pill became increasingly shiny. After about half an hour, the pill trembled suddenly, and a powerful energy ripple appeared out of nowhere, spreading wildly like ripples in water.
"Dong! Dong!"
As the energy ripples spread out, they finally collided with the inner wall of the cauldron, producing a crisp bell-like sound.
